"Are you talking nonsense?"

Li Er said angrily, and even reached out to touch Xiao Zhengtai's forehead, and just scratched the paper a few times to have such an idea. It would be too naive.

"Father, don't underestimate these two lines. My son just outlined it relatively simple. This thing is called railway tracks, and the road he paved can be called railways."

Seeing that Li Er didn't believe his words, Xiao Zhengta felt helpless and could only write again and carefully outline a small circuit diagram.

"What's the use of building this way? Can ordinary roads be different from European carriages?"

Li Er was even more confused. Could it be that if the horse could run faster by building the road like this? This is not nonsense.

"The father misunderstood. This road is not for the carriage, but for the steam engine!"

Xiao Zhengtai finally understood what the misunderstanding between the two was. After talking about the relationship for a long time, his father still thought he was transporting it by carriage.

"What? Steam chicken? What kind of chicken is that? Why has I never heard of it? It really has such a fast speed? If you didn't deceive me, it would be quite difficult to capture this thing and tame it."

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's explanation, Li Er's expression gradually became serious. If such a thing really existed, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for the Tang Dynasty.

"Father... Emperor, the steam engine is not what you think. It is forged by steel through certain technology, and uses the power of science to achieve such an effect."

Li Er's words made Xiao Zhengtai's eyes twitch. He was illiterate and didn't understand anything at all. It was too difficult to communicate, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Your Highness, why can't I understand what you said?"

Cheng Chumo looked confused and pulled his hair hard, looking curious.

"You have seen artillery, and it can basically be understood as the power generated by high-temperature compression and explosion to cause damage to the enemy.

This steam engine is used to work through wood, coal, and other things that can be burned, and transmits the power of transportation through the power of steam.

You must have seen the scene where the water in the pot boils and the lid on top is raised when cooking!

The steam engine magnifies this power infinitely, and the general meaning is that."

The black thread of Xiao Zhengtai's forehead really doesn't know how to explain such things to them.

"Of course, steam engines have many uses. It cannot be used only in transportation, including agriculture, textiles, and industry. It can definitely increase the current development speed of the Tang Dynasty several times."

I was afraid that Li Er would reject his proposal, so Xiao Zhengtai directly applied a fierce medicine. His development is already a peaceful and prosperous era. If he was several times richer, what would the Tang Dynasty be like?

"The father understands that what you call a steam engine can replace horses and even save a lot of manpower, thus greatly improving the efficiency of transportation, right?"

After thinking for a while, Li Er finally understood what Xiao Zhengtai meant, but such remarks were a bit too horrifying.

"Father, the emperor, the wise! That's what my son means!"

Xiao Zhengtai quickly gave him a flattery and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. A year ago, the drawings of the steam engine were given to him as a reward by the system.

It’s just that there has never been a suitable time to bring up this matter! Now the Tang Dynasty is stable and has strong funds, so it’s just right to use it for development, so he made such a suggestion.

Except for Xiao Zhengtai, no one knows how huge the benefits it contains. Of course, with him alone, it is a fantasy to do this.

The most important thing is that once the steam engine develops successfully, the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty will immediately spread all over the country like a spider web.

Even if there are any violations from other countries or disasters, the court can deliver support as soon as possible, thus greatly reducing the losses of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, such a huge project cannot be completed in one or two days. It may take several generations of efforts to make all this happen.

So the first thing he has to do is to connect several of the most important business lines so that everyone can see profits in the short term.

Only when everyone supports the development of the railway can the entire Tang Dynasty be developed as quickly as possible.

"Are you sure this thing can become a reality?"

After Li Er was silent for a long time, he looked at Xiao Zhengta again. Obviously, he was not very optimistic about the steam engine and he didn't want to do something he was unsure of.

It is good to be successful, but once it fails, the losses of the Tang Dynasty will be quite huge. Just opening up these railways will probably be an astronomical figure.

So he had to think carefully that the Tang Dynasty is now rich, but it cannot withstand such losses.

"I know what my father is worried about, and I am not in a hurry to start construction of the railway. After I discuss with my uncle, I will successfully develop the steam engine. After we experiment, we will decide whether to build the railway. What does my father think this is the case?"

Xiao Zhengtai did not guarantee Li Er, but chose a very safe way to answer him.

“So great!”

Li Er was quite satisfied with this answer. He just studied a steam engine. Even if he failed, how much money could he lose?

Once the research is successful, the benefits for the Tang Dynasty will naturally be self-evident. By that time, his investment will definitely be a sure profit and loss transaction.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"

All that should be said is finished. Xiao Zheng was not at ease and continued chatting with Li Er, not to mention that he has been working hard for a long time and has had a good rest.

"Go!"

Li Er waved his hand to the three of them with a smile, and then picked up the memorial in front of him and started to review it.

"Bang!"

After leaving Xuanzheng Hall, Cheng Chumo directly slapped himself, and then he turned his eyes on Xiao Zhengtai. "Your Highness, isn't dark dreaming, is the steam engine really there?"

"I thought you were crazy!"

This guy's brain circuit really made Xiao Zhengtai speechless. After discussing for so long, he had just come to his senses.

"Idiot! When did Your Highness do something you are unsure? Since Your Highness said it, it will definitely exist. You really remember to eat and not beat things!"

Qin Huaiyu looked at Cheng Chumo with contempt, and even scolded him mercilessly in his words, as if he was angry at his questioning of His Highness.

"Grass! I just can't imagine such a thing. When will I question Your Highness?"

Cheng Chumo was furious. Did he mean that? Why was this bastard accidentally taken advantage of him again?
