Therefore, these people on the train did not know where they were going.

"Okay, don't think about it. Even if you know why you want to do this, there is nothing we can do. Now we are just fish on the chopping board, and we can't do anything." Zhu Changxun turned his head and looked out of the train window.

This is not the first time for people like Zhu Changxun to take a train, so they don't show much surprise now.

As the night gradually fell, it was very quiet in the carriage, and there was hardly any sound.

These people in the carriage are all feudal kings and clans of feudal kings from all over the world. They don't know where their future lies, and they don't know what they will face.

Seven or eight soldiers with live ammunition appeared from the end of the carriage, and their eyes kept scanning these people in the carriage.

"Tell you, you are not allowed to have any other ideas. If anyone has other ideas, don't blame me for being rude. If you are obedient, there is still a way to survive. If you are not obedient, then I can't guarantee you I can survive." A burly man shouted into the carriage with a sinister face.

Wherever they looked, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.

These soldiers were the soldiers who escorted the clans of these vassal kings, they were drawn by Zhao Wen from the Royal Guards, and they were specially used to escort the clans of these vassal kings.

There will be soldiers patrolling the compartment every hour, and the number of people will be counted every other day.

Therefore, even if these vassal princes and clans wanted to escape, it would not be so easy.

A few days later, the train stopped at a railway station at the southernmost tip of Shanxi.

The feudal kings and clans on the train were driven off by the escorting soldiers.

After driving them down, the soldiers escorted these people into a firewood car.

At this time, all the rubber and other materials in Dengzhou had been sent to this railway station, so the firewood cars were also vacant.

These vassal kings and clans were loaded into the carriages of firewood cars and sent to Dengzhou.

Because of the large number of people, only a part of the feudal royal family was transported for the first time. As for the rest, they went to Dengzhou on foot first.

Fu Wang's lineage was a bit unlucky, and didn't get in a firewood car.

Under the escort of soldiers, Fu Wang's lineage walked to Dengzhou on foot.

At this time, Fu Wang's lineage was wearing very ordinary clothes, and their originally obese bodies were much thinner.

These people were walking on the official road, and the scorching sun made them sweat profusely.

Although they were tired, they dared not stop.

Because once they stop, the whip is likely to be waiting for them.

Although these vassal kings and clans are not in danger of life, they cannot escape the pain of flesh and blood.

Fu Wang looked at the big sun above his head, and the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down.

There are farmlands on both sides of the official road, and the crops in the farmland are growing vigorously in the sun.

The people working in the farmland looked at this group of people on the official road, and they became curious for a while.

They gathered on both sides of the official road, pointing at the crowd here and talking about it.

Fu Wang wiped off the sweat from his brow, and walked forward slowly.

"Hurry up, everyone, and anyone who dares not to move forward, be careful!" An escort soldier flicked the whip in his hand, making a crackling sound, and shouted loudly.

King Fu lowered his head and walked forward.

"Zheng Aiqing, this time I will let you rest for two months. After two months, you will go to America!"

In the imperial study room, Zhao Wen looked at Zheng Yiguan who was sitting in front of him, and said.

Zheng Yiguan was not surprised by Zhao Wen's request.

"After you go this time, I will provide you with some wood-burning cars. With wood-burning cars, it will be much more convenient for you in America.

In addition to wood-burning cars, I will provide you with mining workers.After arriving in America, start mining. " Zhao Wen said.

Although there is no way to completely occupy the Americas now, this does not prevent Zhao Wen from opening mines in the Americas.

If it weren't for the fact that the population of America is too small, Zhao Wen still plans to build a railway in America.

Zheng Yiguan said: "Your Majesty, after having a wood-burning car, the rubber plantation does not have to be restricted by the terrain. At that time, I can expand the rubber plantation."

"That's good!" Zhao Wen nodded, and continued: "Now, I have sent some of the captured vassal kings and their clans to Dengzhou, and it won't be long before they arrive in Dengzhou.

As the first batch of people to go to America, these people will be handed over to you.After these people go to America, Ai Qing must take good care of them.

In these two months, Aiqing sees what she needs, and if she needs anything, just tell me, and I will definitely satisfy Aiqing. "

"I don't have anything special to ask for!" Zheng Yiguan replied.

"It goes without saying that I'm so sure, think about it after you go back." Zhao Wen waved his hand at Zheng Yiguan, "Okay, let's stop here today, Ai Qing will step down first!"

Zheng Yiguan stood up, bowed to Zhao Wen, and then backed out.

After Zheng Yiguan withdrew, Zhao Wen took out the charts that Zheng Yiguan had sent up and the map of Zheng Yiguan's plantation.

Zhao Wen placed the two maps on the desk, and squinted his eyes carefully.

Looking at the map near the plantation, Zhao Wen kept thinking.

"The plantation is located in the southern part of North America and the northern part of South America, not far from the later Panama Canal. Looking at the marks on the map, Zheng Yiguan has completely controlled the surrounding area.

It's just that there are insufficient manpower, so Zheng Yiguan can't go too far to develop.After sending these people and wood-burning cars to the Americas this time, it is estimated that they can be developed farther away. "

Chapter 698 Attacking Nanzhili

Zhao Wen took out another piece of rice paper, laid it flat on the table, and began to write.

What Zhao Wen wrote was nothing but a plan for America.

Although it is not yet possible to immigrate to the Americas on a large scale, it should be planned in advance.

In Zhao Wen's plan, several cities were first built in the place occupied by Zheng Yiguan.These cities will be the bases of Zheng Yiguan in the future. With the increase of immigrants to America, these cities will be used for expansion.

After writing the plan, Zhao Wen asked Sun Yuanhua to come over again.

Sun Yuanhua is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of engineering construction.And Song Yingxing is the director of the research institute and the industrial minister.

Although the difference between the Ministry of Industry and Industry is only one word, there is a world of difference between the two.

Sun Yuanhua came to the imperial study room, and like Liu Wenzhong and others, he was given a seat by Zhao Wen and sat in front of Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at Sun Yuanhua and said, "How is the terrain survey in Shaanxi and Sichuan? How long will it take to start construction of the railway?"

"Return to Your Majesty, after the end of this year, the topography of Shaanxi will be thoroughly surveyed. But the topography of Sichuan will take at least two years to complete!" Sun Yuanhua said solemnly.

Sichuan is no different from Shaanxi. The terrain in Sichuan is complex, with many mountains, rivers, streams, and few plains. Except for the Chengdu Plain, most of the other places are mountainous.

Surveying the terrain in the mountains is not that simple, it is a very time-consuming thing.

Fortunately, the places to be explored are all major cities in Sichuan. If it is estimated that all the cities in Sichuan are explored, it will not be completed in four or five years.

Although northern Shaanxi is the Loess Plateau, the population there is small, and the terrain of the Loess Plateau is relatively simple, so exploration is faster than Sichuan.

Guanzhong is a plain, and it will not take long.The only time-consuming one is the generation in southern Shaanxi, but the area of ​​southern Shaanxi is smaller than that of Sichuan.

"It seems that it is not so easy to build the railway to Sichuan in a short time. How long will it take to start building the railway to Shaanxi?" Zhao Wen looked at Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, we are now making preparations. The construction of the railway has already begun in Qingyang Mansion. After the next year, it will be almost finished. In the spring of the next year, we can start construction.

We plan to start construction from the west of Qingyang Mansion and go directly to Tongguan.After passing Tongguan, it was first built to Weinan Mansion, and then from Weinan Mansion to Xi'an Mansion.This is the first phase of the Shaanxi Railway project, and we estimate that it will take about one year.

However, we ran into some trouble! "

At the end of Sun Yuanhua's speech, his brows were tightly knit together.

Xi'an Prefecture and Weinan Prefecture are located in Guanzhong, the terrain is flat, and it is relatively simple to build a railway.However, when it was built from Pingyang Mansion to Tongguan, it had to cross the Yellow River.

If you want to cross the Yellow River, you must build a bridge.The bridges of this era could not support the train at all, so steel bridges had to be used.

Today, Sun Yuanhua has organized a large number of people to study the construction of the Yellow River Bridge.

However, these things are still quite difficult for Sun Yuanhua now.

"What's the trouble? Tell me and listen!" Zhao Wen asked.

Sun Yuanhua organized his words, "Your Majesty, the biggest difficulty is the bridge connecting the two banks of the Yellow River. We have never built a precedent for crossing such a large river as the Yellow River, so we don't know how to build it.

Although His Majesty has proposed the concept of steel bridges in college textbooks, we are still a little confused. "

Sun Yuanhua's face was full of sadness. When he thought of the bridge across the river, Sun Yuanhua didn't know what to do.

The Yellow River is not comparable to other rivers, and the difficulty of building a bridge across the river is not ordinary.

"How is your current exploration on both sides of the Yellow River going? Have you selected a few suitable places for construction?" Zhao Wen asked.

"I have found a few places, and the detailed data of these places have been sent to the Ministry of Industry. I am leading people to study these places. In a few days, I plan to go there and have a field inspection." Sun Yuanhua said .

"How about this, after you come back from the investigation, give me the detailed data, and I will study it carefully." Zhao Wen said.

Although Zhao Wen is not a bridge major, Zhao Wen has also dabbled in bridges.Who made the motherland of later generations an infrastructure madman with a reputation overseas?

Zhao Wen may not be able to design those tall viaducts, but bridges that meet the needs of railway operations can be designed.

It's just that lacking the tools of later generations, the speed of construction may be much slower.

Sun Yuanhua has a deep understanding of Zhao Wen's abilities.The current state of Xuanzhen is almost supported by Zhao Wen.

Sun Yuanhua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhao Wen was going to take over the matter.

"Your Majesty is incompetent, and I have to bother Your Majesty!" Sun Yuanhua apologized.

"It doesn't matter, manpower is sometimes exhausted, this is an inevitable thing." Zhao Wen waved his hand and continued: "Can we squeeze out some exploration manpower from the Ministry of Industry now? I plan to send them to America!"

This is Zhao Wen's biggest purpose in finding Sun Yuanhua.

"Yes, about 50 people can be squeezed out." Sun Yuanhua answered truthfully.

"Although 50 people are a little small, it's better than none." Zhao Wen muttered a few times, "Well, gather these people and let them go to Zheng Yiguan."

"The minister leads the decree!" Sun Yuanhua stood up and bowed in salute.

"Okay, Aiqing, go back first!" Zhao Wen waved at Sun Yuanhua.

After Sun Yuanhua withdrew, Zhao Wen asked Chen Donglai to bring his plan to Zheng Yiguan.

After doing all this, Zhao Wen changed into a normal suit and came to the steel factory.

Now the iron and steel plant in Xuanzhen has realized the ability to produce non-stop at twelve hours a day, and steel is produced almost every moment.

The steel produced in the steel plant is mainly used to make rails, steam locomotives and carriages, generator sets, wood-burning cars, steel bars and so on.

In the early stages of industrialization, the demand for steel was huge.Fortunately, Zhao Wen had accumulated a lot of family assets before, otherwise Zhao Wen really couldn't afford to make such a fuss.

During the period when industrialization just started in history, few countries were able to complete industrialization.

The reason is that the family background is too thin to support the consumption in the early stage of industrialization.The reason why the shit stirrer was able to complete the industrialization reform first is because the shit stirrer plundered wealth all over the world.

If it weren't for this reason, it would be impossible to complete the industrialization of the place where the shit stick is.

The amount of gold, silver and copper accumulated on this land for thousands of years is incredible. Although the Ming court had no money, the folks had a lot of money.

It's just that Zhao Wen made a lot of money from Shanxi merchants before, let alone those vassal kings.

The silver coins that Zhao Wen got out were to excavate the wealth of the people and use them in industry.

Zhao Wen wandered around in the iron and steel plant, the roar of machinery resounded non-stop, and the huge chimney in the iron and steel plant was emitting black smoke outside.

Zhao Wen stood in an open space in the steel factory, he took a deep breath, his face was full of smiles.

"This is the smell of industrialization, this is the smell of steel!" Zhao Wen closed his eyes and smelled various smells in the air.

In the eyes of others, these smells are very unpleasant, but to Zhao Wen, they have a different taste.

"Although the iron and steel plant produces a lot of steel, the land under its feet is too large. Just one iron and steel plant is far from enough. In the future, there will be more iron and steel plants. In addition to Xuanzhen, other places will also Build, the bigger the better."

Zhao Wen opened his eyes and walked in the steel factory, thinking nonstop.

After inspecting the steel factory, Zhao Wen came to the automobile factory.

The main construction of the automobile manufacturing plant has been completed, and only the remaining processing equipment is left to be installed.

Because of electricity, the processing equipment in the automobile factory is driven by a little force.

After Zhao Wen finished his inspection, he ate at the night market on the street.
