Everyone was silent again.
Hamid!
As the youngest son of Mustafa, Hamid has been active in Ottoman politics. It's just that unlike his brother Erdogan, he is more inclined to Sipaxi in terms of military stance. He once advocated the construction of a more regular and powerful cavalry. He prefers the cavalry system that is loyal to the Sudan.
"Humph, Hamid, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that Sir Ahmed's policies are lagging behind?"
Erdogan snorted and began to sow discord.
Everyone knows that the competition between these two people for the position of Sultan has entered a fierce state.
Others did not dare to speak.
Only Ahmed's eyes were shining with strong murderous intent.
Hamid shook his head and said with a sincere face: "Everyone, the glory of the Ottomans has obscured our eyes. Nowadays, European powers are rising, and their naval power is invincible. However, because of our excessive naval expenditure, we have never been able to Developing the navy, this is one. Second, the Tsarist Russia in the East has always been eyeing our Ottoman territory, with constant friction, and a war is inevitable. Then there is the Longyan Dynasty, this lion that has awakened, the Ottoman Empire, We are already in danger, father, we must reform!"
As soon as he said this, the whole place exploded.
Today, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to tell the truth.
Especially under Ahmed's iron-blooded governance.
But Hamid is not afraid.
What can I say, he is also the son of the Sultan.
This Hamid was exactly the young man with his face covered who went to Longyan Jinghua some days ago.
This time, he traveled from the Western Regions, through Liangzhou, and then to Beijing. What he saw along the way shocked him. He suddenly realized the reason for Osman's successive failures.
Reform stalled.
Today's Ottomans, despite having been defeated many times, are still arrogant. How arrogant are they? The domestic writers union criticized the printing press as the invention of the "devil", and technological reform, legal reform, institutional reform, and military reform all entered a terrible period of stagnation...
But relatively speaking.
Look at those countries in Europe.
Let’s look at Long Yan’s Silver Beach City again…
This then Faustafa II, worried.
He wanted to imitate Liu Zheng of Long Yan and become the pioneer of all reforms.
But he knows.
This is difficult.
But as long as possible, he hopes that he can work hard!
"absurd!"
"presumptuous!"
"Are you going to let those demonic things enter our Kingdom of God?"
"Sir Sultan, you must not!"
"We are the Holy Ottomans, and we must not let those tricks and tricks tarnish our empire!"
"Yes……"
A group of people began to criticize and curse.
Soon, the meeting ended when Sudan suffered from madness.
Ahmed glanced at Hamid with cold eyes, and then walked away.
Hamid, with a desolate look on his face, lowered his head and said nothing.
…
"This carriage..."
"Oh My God……"
Look at Long Yan Jinghua's side again.
Xie Tianyao, including a group of ministers, had long been shocked by this rail carriage.
I thought there would be any safety hazards when driving on this "iron bar". As a result, when they arrived near Lishan Mountain a few hours later, they discovered that they had surprisingly enjoyed themselves along the way.
The first characteristic is speed.
When two horses pulled it up, there was no obstacle at all. The smoothness and inertia of the rails made the speed more than double.
Second, it is stable.
The design of the carriage is very suitable for the railway track and the stress level of the carriage. After numerous tests, the finished carriage can reduce the bumps to a minimum.
Third, it is comfortable.
The spacious carriage, the luxurious decoration and furnishings inside, and the view from the large windows are extremely enjoyable.
"Okay, okay!"
Xie Tianyao was overjoyed and praised him repeatedly.
The prince quickly smiled and said: "This is a great gift from Mr. Liu to His Majesty! Your Majesty, think about it, if this kind of carriage can be spread all over the country..."
Nationwide?
Everyone was shocked.
Xie Tianyao was surprised at first, and then fell silent.
Nationwide…
If this thing were to be available across the country, it would probably cost a lot of money.
But it's okay.
They did not think about the issue of troop transportation. Even if they did, they quickly filtered it out of their minds. Why? It only doubled the speed, and for long-distance transportation, the requirements for horses were too high. Coupled with the passenger capacity, it was impossible to increase the speed by using rail carriages to transport troops.
but……
Why did Liu Shilang do this?
Is this really a great gift to yourself?
Xie Tianyao laughed loudly: "He is a sensible child."
That’s all I can think of.
It seems that he made himself angry, so he came to comfort himself?
This makes sense.
Manager Zhou was also beside him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, with this carriage, the imperial court's income will probably double again!"
"Um."
Xie Tianyao was also happy.
This carriage is not only for carrying passengers, it can also transport goods. If, as the prince said, the construction begins across the country, the transportation time and cost will definitely be greatly reduced, and profits will naturally be freed up.
"good!"
"It's such a nice weather today!"
Xie Tianyao laughed loudly: "However, I can't let Liu Shilang suffer. I go back and tell him that he will come up with a plan for me immediately. For the laying of tracks, the imperial court will provide part of the money, and the local government will also provide part. As for The same should be true for operating rights and how to distribute dividends, isn’t it?”
Manager Zhou was snickering beside him.
Now Xie Tianyao is becoming more and more obsessed with making money. Naturally, we cannot let go of such a good opportunity.
The King of Qin was overjoyed: "My brother will go right away!"
"Let's go."
Xie Tianyao's face turned pale as he walked towards the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.
…
The track carriage, not surprisingly, won Xie Tianyao's approval.
This is within the scope of Liu Zheng's plan.
He could even feel the joyful emotion from Xie Tianyao in the letter.
At this time, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Guilt for cheating.
The guilt caused by deceiving this seventy-year-old old man.
But there is no way.
He has to think about protecting himself.
Xie Tianyao wanted to kill himself at every turn, so he couldn't just sit back and wait for death every time.
For all track laying, he would lay the sleepers.
Just to prepare for the next train...
He was still worried before that the cost of laying tracks would be too high, and whether he could afford it as there was little progress in Liaodong. Now the imperial court provides part of the money, and the local government provides part of the money, which immediately solves his urgent need.
He could predict it.
A nationwide rail-laying craze is about to begin.
Long Yan is about to enter the orbital era under his leadership.
And at this time.
In the land of Liaodong.
Tang Feng, who just spent 50 million to buy the patent for the briquette stove, also made people feel the deliciousness of monopoly for the first time.
