I'm about to start doing it?

After hearing the emperor's words, many ministers were in a bad mood.

Ji Zhong had just made a rough calculation in his heart. When he heard the emperor's words, he said directly: "Your Majesty, this matter is important, so we have to discuss more before making a decision."

"good."

The Minister of Revenue also bowed his hand and said.

"Although our treasury is not tense this year, we are about to go to war with Mongolia and we still have to leave money for disaster relief in various places."

"And the East Palace is about to get married, these are places where you are in a hurry to use money."

"Every cent of these silver must be used in practice. If such a large sum is suddenly spent, I am worried that the shortage of silver will have adverse effects."

"It would be the best if the construction started after the war and rested."

Of course they can see the benefits in front of them.

However, the money from the Ministry of Revenue was used by the entire Ming Dynasty, so of course we cannot only look at the immediate interests.

Ji Zhong nodded, agreeing with the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The weather is good this year, and many local water conservancy companies have also made a note and want to repair the embankment.

This will cost money.

If so many projects that cost money are started at the same time, it will be enough to make their Ministry of Revenue be in a mess.

Even if you have some money, you can't just think about it immediately.

Emperor Hongzhi knew that after he said it, he would definitely be rejected.

He said this to test it out.

After hearing the analysis of Qi Zhong and others, I also felt it was very reasonable.

This proposal is also good to wait for the East Palace to get the wedding and then repair the track after the war.

"Dingxi Hou, what do you think?"

However, he still sought Zhao Ce's opinions.

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the railways in other parts of the Ming Dynasty can be slowed down first, and then the long-term plan will be discussed."

"But I think the sooner the railway from the Ming Dynasty to the border is better."

"I believe I don't need to say anything about the benefits of railways. All the masters have seen it."

"As soon as possible, the distance between the capital and the border can be shortened as soon as possible."

This statement is also reasonable. Li Dongyang nodded and said, "What Dingxi Hou said is extremely true."

"After the railway is completed, the supplies transported to the border can save a lot of manpower and material resources. These saved ones can be used for railway construction."

The corner of Jam Zhong's mouth twitched.

This is to save money in the future until now.

Are he stupid as the Minister of Revenue?

Qi Zhong looked at Zhao Ce with helplessness.

He admired this young man very much and helped them earn a lot of money, which made their treasury full in the past two years.

But it has to be said that Zhao Ce's ability to spend money is completely comparable to his ability to make money.

Li Dongyang is even more outrageous.

Helping his apprentice settle the money he saved in the future.

Qi Zhong said helplessly: "Imperial construction is not a day or night?"

"If you invest too much at once, the consequences will be too great."

"I think the railway matter is feasible, but I have to make it a long-term plan after the future."

The money from the Ministry of Revenue is never enough.

This is on hold and it may be left behind by everyone one day.

Now that the test drive has just been completed, it is the time when everyone is most enthusiastic.

If you don’t seize the time to establish a project and start investing, it may be even more difficult to deal with later.

Zhao Ce pondered: "Mr. Qi said that the frontier is going to start now, and he invested too much, and he was afraid that there would be insufficient money?"

I paused for a moment.

This is indeed the big deal of the expense.

"good."

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Since that's the case, we should start building immediately."

"And not only need to be built, but also to lay the entire border on the railway."

"No, not just the frontier."

Zhao Ce affirmed: "Where our army goes, we should lay the railway wherever we go!"

Wow!

Everyone looked at Zhao Ce in surprise.

What's the meaning?

If you go to Mongolia, wouldn’t you also have to pave the railway to Mongolia?

Qi Zhong was also shocked by Zhao Ce's words, so he couldn't speak for a while.

"Marquis Dingxi, if this railway is laid out, isn't it to send weapons to the Tartars?"

All iron!

Isn’t the railways that go out of this dormitory taken down and re-forged? They are all used to send weapons to the Tartars?

How is it possible to bring warmth like this?

Zhao Ce explained calmly: "I would like to ask you all, it was obvious that the Huns were defeated in the Han Dynasty, and the champion Hou had already been granted the Langjuxu."

"Why is there a foreign rebellion behind it?"

"Be closer, Emperor Taizong drank Ma Hanhai, why can Mongolia still be stronger again and again?"

The topic suddenly jumped here, catching everyone off guard.

Zhu Houzhao, who was standing beside him, thought for a while and suddenly spoke: "Because we can only fight, but we can't hold on!"

Zhao Ce glanced at him with praise.

"Your Highness said it well."

"Because we can only fight, but we can't hold on, and we can't manage it."

“The front line is too long and transportation is too difficult.”

"If we stayed with garrison and management, it would put huge pressure on the logistics and would also increase the expenditure of the DPRK in this regard."

"So, for so many years, we have been fighting each other with foreign races, and there is no time to really stop."

"But if the railway is laid all the way to the grassland, we will manage it and transport supplies to the front line, which will save time and effort a lot?"

"In this way, after we defeat, we will establish an autonomous region in Mongolia."

"This will better consolidate our fruits of victory!"

Zhao Ce had previously said that religion could be used to bind these warlike aliens.

But religion alone has conditions to work.

To spread religion, you must first hit the other party with your fists.

It is not enough to be convinced for a while, and it still needs long-term management.

This will really solve the problem.

Zhao Ce said again: "And, the speed of pulling the train is actually too slow now." ωωw..net

"Now our research institute is studying a machine that can provide greater power. Once successful, the carrying capacity and speed of the rails will be greatly improved."

The emergence of railways indicates a qualitative leap in logistics in the human world.

After the train appears again, there will be a more earth-shaking change.

Zhu Houzhao widened her eyes and exclaimed: "It can be faster!"

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Of course."

“It just takes time.”

"Our Ming Dynasty has a vast border and it is difficult to defend."

"Only when transportation develops, there can be greater possibilities."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it.

At the current speed, whether to send troops or transport materials is already considered to be lightning compared to the past.

If the speed increases, the speed will be faster when the frontier dispatches troops in the future.

And as Zhao Ce said, if the railway is laid into the Mongolian grasslands, then after this victory, it will definitely not only ensure temporary peace.

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "If the logistics can follow, Fenglangjuxu and Drinking Ma Hanhai... can all be reproduced!"

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Your Highness, once the railway is laid, the goal of sealing the wolf and drinking Ma Hanhai is not enough!"

"I think."
