The rail carriages that were about to transport Wang Hou back to Feng County were much longer and wider than ordinary carriages. Because this trip did not require much speed, but had the highest requirements for comfort. Therefore, Shayang County specially customized two such carriages, and some ordinary carriages were hung behind them.

His Majesty and the officials are naturally more comfortable. As for the guards, well, they will feel a little aggrieved. As for the accompanying Fire Death Camp, they are cavalry and there is no need to worry about them.

He carried Wang Hou's soft couch into the second carriage and placed Wang Hou on the bed beside the window. The window was movable, and the baffle was pulled open to both sides, so the scenery outside was completely visible.

Shu Chang sat cross-legged on the bed, and Wang Hou was half leaning against his chest. Wang Yueyao's eyes were red and swollen. She sat on the side to respond. There were several chairs opposite the bed, and they were fixed to the ground.

The entire carriage is like a small house decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, with everything in it. The difference is that many things are fixed there.

Since entering the carriage, Wang Hou, who has been listless, has inexplicably improved his spirit. Two strange blush appeared on his face and his eyes also became sharp.

For Shu Chang, this is not a good thing. He knows very well that this is the last rebirth after a person's mental stimulation.

The others naturally understood this truth, but no matter what, everyone was relieved to see that Wang Hou was getting better.

"Prince, let's keep your voice when you pass by, and let's leave your name when you pass by. It's worth your life!" In addition to Wang Hou, only a few horses Xiangnan were the oldest. Like Wang Hou, they were also the earliest group of people who fought with the Taiping Army, so naturally they didn't have to worry too much about speaking.

"Of course it's worth it!" The voice was low, but it was very clear. Wang Hou looked at everyone and said, "In the past, Jiang Ziya was still wasting his time, but I would meet the wise master at 60. Haha, I'm much lucky than him."

He looked at Wang Yueyao sitting beside the bed indulge: "I am not good at this body. Yueyao is crying and sad, but I don't know that I am very satisfied. God has already favored me very much. In the first half of my life, I have committed many sins. I think God has also seen it. In the last ten years, I have given me the opportunity to atone for my sins. Over the past ten years, I have asked myself that I have done a lot of things for the people of the world. I think I have left many things on the contribution of the King of Hell. I am very satisfied to have the current life. By the way, Your Majesty often says that we cannot decide the length of our lives, but we can infinitely broaden the width of our lives. I ask myself, I did a good job."

He smiled proudly.

Ma Xiangnan nodded repeatedly: "The name of the prince is well-known and has been passed down in history, that is certain."

The door of the carriage was opened, and Fang Dazhi walked in and bowed to everyone: "Your Majesty, you are ready, are you leaving?"

"Let's go!" Qin Feng nodded.

Fang Dazhi poked his head out of the door, waved to the outside, and then pulled up the car door.

Immediately, a loud and long horn sounded outside the car.

"Your Majesty, Prince, dear sir, this is a signal to be ready to leave the train. After a long voice, there are three quick short voices, which is to start." Fang Dazhi introduced.

Sure enough, after a long sound, three short horns rang out again, the carriage shook slightly, slowly moving forward. Wang Hou turned his head and looked out the window, and the station was slowly moving backward.

"Dazhi, come here and tell the prince in detail about this rail car!" Qin Feng ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Dazhi walked over, looked at Wang Hou, and said, "Prince, our rail car carriage carriages carry five parts of the carriage, transporting more than 300 people in total. It is driven by ten horses. It is expected that we will arrive at our destination Fengxian in two hours."

"Two hours?" Wang Hou narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Dazhi, but his eyes were filled with surprise.

"The prince, this is the case. A rail car can theoretically hang twelve cars, but for safety reasons, we usually only hang ten cars. Every fifty miles, we have an inn to replace the horse. Of course, it is under the mercedes-by-one mercedes. If the speed is not fast, there is no need to replace it."

At this time, the railcar had already driven out of the station, and the speed was naturally getting faster and faster. The scenery outside the window kept regressing. "Dazhi, what is the speed at the moment?"

Fang Dazhi hesitated for a moment and decided to say truthfully: "Prince, now it is only half of the normal speed. Now the railcar has many improvements. If the speed is too fast, it will inevitably shake and bump."

"I understand, mainly to take care of me as a patient." Wang Hou nodded with a smile. He was a person with clear ideas. As soon as Fang Dazhi spoke, he already understood the meaning. "Dazhi, please continue to say it, I like to listen."

"Yes, prince. If you run with all your might and change your horses for fifty miles, we can reach Fengxian County in just one hour. Within one rail car, we can transport 200,000 kilograms of grain or more than 2,000 soldiers." Fang Dazhi looked a little excited. "In the past, it took several days. The appearance of rail car allowed us to reach our destination as fast as possible, and saved us a lot of manpower and material costs."

"A major change that has not been seen in a thousand years!" Wang Hou closed his eyes, opened it for a while, and smiled: "In the past, when the army fought, they always had to show up first. Ten kilograms of grain were transported, but three or four kilograms were to be consumed on the road. Now with this rail car, all these were saved. Your Majesty, if these rail carts were spread all over the Ming Dynasty, the territory of the Ming Dynasty would become smaller. The king's orders would be arriving in all parts of the territory in an instant. This is a blessing!"

"The wise man is exactly this reason." Qin Feng smiled. "But the rail car has just completed this one, and it is still experimental. It will take some time to spread it on a large scale and even more funds. This thing is also a money-making item. This Shafeng line, which is more than 100 miles long, costs 1.5 million taels, and on average, it costs 15,000 taels of silver for each mile."

"It's indeed very expensive, but it's worth it." Wang Hou said: "I heard from Yue Yao that the court did not really invest much money. It was all paid by merchants? Is it okay for such a military and national weapon to be controlled by merchants?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly. The carriage was full of important officials of the Ming Dynasty. He did not expect to be in danger of leaking the secrets. He told Wang straightforwardly: "Prince, compared with the landlords, I think merchants are more conducive to the control of the court. Merchants are rich, but like rootless duckweed, life, death, honor and disgrace are all at the hands of the court. Unlike the landlords, where there are land as their roots, countless people are tied to the ground."

Although it was a bit concealed, everyone in the car could hear it clearly and naturally understood what Qin Feng meant. The landlords had capital, ability, and someone could rebel, but it was difficult for merchants to do so. Even if they had money, it was difficult to accomplish. Since the Ming Dynasty was still the Taiping Army, it vigorously curbed the annexation of land, and even forcibly stipulated that at most, it could only be a lot of land for each level of civil and military officials. The progressive tax rate set based on the amount of land also made the landlords lose their soil. Annexation of a large amount of land is no longer a profitable transaction but a loss of money. Naturally, not many people made up their minds on this, and the accumulated money was invested in business.

The establishment of Taiping Bank has hit domestic private money banks so that it is impossible to survive. Nowadays, there are less and less gold and silver in the world, and it exists more as a reserve currency. The Ming Dynasty banknotes have occupied a mainstream position in the market. The state-owned Taiping Bank and the private Changlong Bank control domestic finance. The capital owned by big merchants is difficult to escape the supervision of these banks.

In other words, the reform of currency put a noose on the heads of these big merchants.

"Although the operation rights of these railways were handed over to the operation department formed by merchants, the ownership belongs to the court. Fifty years later, they have to return them to the court. At that time, if they still wanted to continue operating, they could only pay the court again." Qin Feng continued, "So don't worry, no one can pinch the court's neck."

"In this way, as long as all the technologies are mature, rail cars can be deployed across the country. Since the merchants in Shayang County can build a rail car, the merchants in other counties can naturally build it." Wang Houdao.

"It's true, but they always need to see the prospects and money of this rail car." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Prince, as you said, the opening of the rail car will be a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years. From then on, the world will become smaller, the speed of cargo circulation will accelerate, the flow of personnel will be more frequent, and the distance between them will be closer."

"Okay, okay." Wang Hou laughed: "I am the Ming Dynasty, and it is expected to unify the world. Shu Chang, Yue Yao, you must remember it carefully. The day when the Ming Dynasty unified the world, you must tell me as soon as possible. I'm waiting for it!"

"Yes, Daddy!" Wang Yueyao said with tears in her eyes.

"You told me a few days ago that you would resign from your official position, so there is no need to say more." Wang Hou stretched out his thin hands and stroked Wang Yueyao's dark hair, "The Ming Dynasty is in chaos, and how many things are there to be done now? You are an important official of the Ming Dynasty, how can you depose the public for personal gain? Filial piety is not about death and life. I already know your filial piety."

"Dad..." Wang Yueyao looked up, her eyes dim.

"After I die, I will only allow you to wear mourning for 49 days. After July 7, I will take off my filial piety, put on my court clothes, and walk into the yamen. The Ming Dynasty is not yet quelled, and external troubles are still there, so I need to fight for every moment. Everything you do for the Ming Dynasty is to fulfill filial piety. Do you know?" Wang Hou's voice gradually became stern.

Wang Yueyao whimpered and knelt down: "Daughter knows."

In the carriage, Qin Feng was the leader, and everyone bowed to Wang Hou to the ground.

The world is the king, but only the king is the king.

"Your Majesty, can you run the speed of this railcar the fastest?" The blush on Wang Hou's face gradually faded away. He looked at Qin Feng and showed a pleading look.
