Xiaohuangmen looks like this, but its rank in the inner palace is not low.

And being able to be taken by Eunuch Wang Yun and taught by his ear, I think he is a smart person.

Just like just now, Qi Xingyun wanted to...

Qi Xingyun wanted to draw, and Wei Zhong did a good job, holding down the corners of the paper that were blown up by the wind.

Qi Xingyun took the paper and pointed at the picture and said: "You can call a human-powered rail car a hand-rolled car. It can be designed for two people or four people."

"Using the lever principle, it drives the inclined axis, and the inclined axis drives the crankshaft. It weighs less than two hundred kilograms, and can probably carry three to four hundred kilograms of cargo."

"It perfectly meets your requirements. It doesn't require horsepower, just manpower, and it runs pretty fast. It can run about eighty miles in an hour. It's not very fast, and it doesn't pull much, but it's easy to make."

Zhang Tingyu and Shen Yicong looked at this picture for a long time, then they both bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty is wise, this solves a big problem."

Qi Xingyun knew that human-powered rail cars would eventually be eliminated, and said with a smile: "Whatever is a big problem is just a small problem."

"When several racecourses come out with horses, Yuzhou will probably be the main force in freight transportation. My two-person car is still too small."

Zhang Tingyu carefully put away the words drawn by the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know something. This track costs a lot of money."

"Especially for this iron-clad wooden track, seven thousand guan for one mile is not enough. The track leading from the capital to the north cost nearly 7 million guan!"

"Not counting the cost of each station and the replacement of the entire rail track in the future, it is an even higher figure."

"Actually, the Science and Technology Garden is under great pressure. The road has been repaired, but it has not been usable for a long time. There is nothing to use! How many people are waiting to catch the Science and Technology Garden so that they can read this book."

When Qi Xingyun heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said loudly: "I wonder who dares!"

Qi Xingyun is annoyed by this kind of people the most. They just ignore the good state affairs and look for shortcomings!

"They don't give time, they don't give them a chance, they don't look at everything, they even get entangled and form groups, and they destroy this kind of national governance that benefits the country and the people."

"What is their purpose? It's very simple! When the court has no money to build roads and the roads are auctioned, they will take them for themselves!"

"Is that for the imperial court? That's the profit from the Golden Bridge and Silver Road!"

"Despicable!"

Qi Xingyun was so angry that Eunuch Wang Yun and Wei Zhong immediately fell to the ground, not even daring to take a breath.

The emperor was not so angry when he killed more than a hundred ministers in the main hall.

Even Zhang Tingyu lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He originally only wanted to complain about the difficult national affairs, but he did not expect to make the emperor so angry.

Zhang Tingyu certainly has the right to complain. As Qi Xingyun's current number one minister, he will soon take over from Wan Jin and become the first assistant!

Unexpectedly, a small complaint about the Science and Technology Garden's inability to design products of a suitable quality and a few thoughtless chats aroused the emperor's anger.

Qi Xingyun was still angry. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Even if a horse pulls a horse and runs on the track, it is faster than a carriage! It takes less effort than a carriage."

"Every one counts, who says the track needs to stop."

"Ignoring the outside of the court for the moment, all the courtiers in the court will be fined half a year's salary for the first time! They will be thrown to the north to grow pasture for the second time! And they will be exiled to Lingnan for the second time."

"No! I will dismiss you from office the second time and throw you to Lingnan! This is contrary to heaven! You eat the food of the imperial court and do not work for the imperial court. It is a hindrance. Even if you cut it off, it will not go too far! Eunuch Wang Yun wrote it down,

Make it the norm!”

Eunuch Wang Yun asked tremblingly: "The emperor has said that he will abolish the track, should he be deposed and returned to the court or should he be beheaded?"

"What do you think?" Qi Xingyun asked with eyes wide open.

Eunuch Wang Yun didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he recorded the crime as beheading.

Zhang Tingyu also wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't dare to ask, so he remembered it as beheading...

After all, beheading is not too much. The emperor said that a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with.

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Zhang Tingyu looked around, and it was only appropriate for him to ask.

Queen Zhao had been paying attention to Qi Xingyun. When she saw Qi Xingyun being so angry, she also came over. She helped Qi Xingyun and said: "Your Majesty, don't be too angry. What happened? What to solve? Being angry can hurt your body. Wei Zhong

, go get some tea."

Wei Zhong quickly got up and went to the car to get water.

Empress Zhao said with a smile: "Drink some water to calm the air. Before I set off, I made some ginger and brown sugar tea to dispel the cold and warm the stomach."

Qi Xingyun finally calmed down most of his anger. His anger was indeed somewhat unreasonable.

He looked at Zhang Tingyu and asked: "Master Zhang, what do you think this is under our feet?"

Zhang Tingyu stamped his feet and said, "Your Majesty, we have Daqi under our feet!"

Qi Xingyun nodded. Zhang Tingyu's answer was the standard answer, but that was not what he was talking about.

He stepped on the gravel under his feet and said, "There is ballast under our feet."

"Grandmaster Zhang, what's the use of this ballast?" Qi Xingyun asked with a smile.

Ballast is the layer of small stones under the iron-wood track.

Queen Zhao also looked at Zhang Tingyu curiously.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Drainage, shock absorption, it rained heavily this summer, how can we drain the water without this layer of ballast? This royal boat weighs 500 kilograms each, plus the cargo, without this layer of stones, it would have collapsed long ago.

"

"There is another wonderful use! Bachelor Zhang." Qi Xingyun said with a smile.

The stones for ballast are all from the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River. They are mined and screened before being laid. They are all carefully selected coarse sand and gravel. Horses can also run on them." Qi Xingyun smiled and stamped his feet.

Said: "In other words, this track can also transport goods back and forth in winter."

"Horses can't run freely in winter because the ground will freeze. This is why there is an attack window."

"However, with the track, winter freight will no longer be affected by the weather! Prepare for war in winter and attack in spring!"

“Every place touched by the track is flat soil!”

Zhang Tingyu tasted this sentence in silence and smiled: "That's exactly it."

Qi Xingyun stepped on the ballast and walked a long way. Eunuch Wang Yun ran over, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can set off."

Qi Xingyun kicked a stone and said: "Master Zhang asked me why I was angry. I was actually worried about the auction of salt, iron and tracks when Da Qi's court was short of money."

"Eunuch Wang, add another sentence to the sentence I asked you to write down just now..."

Qi Xingyun took a deep breath.

Regardless of whether they are wealthy businessmen or officials, when the country's political affairs are in chaos, they will become crazy and turn into worms of the country, frantically swooping on these things to suck blood.

Use various legal and illegal means to devour domestic products.

"It is a public weapon of the country, and it does not matter whether it is profit or loss."
