Chapter 256 Build a car in the Ming Dynasty? Is it possible

Building a road?

Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Ting, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked over in unison.

He gathered four pairs of eyes and looked at Chu Ze with a wrong look.

It's like seeing a psychopath.

Zhu Ren was the first to speak: "Are you kidding?"

Zhu Di followed closely: "The road is now good, what road is suddenly built?"

Zhu Biao also disagrees: "This suggestion is indeed a bit sudden. There are special funds and personnel to maintain roads across the country every year. Now it is really unnecessary to suddenly propose to build roads."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Biao'er said it well."

When it comes to road construction, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was indeed not necessary.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't guarantee other roads, but he could guarantee that the official road was definitely maintained every year and there would never be any problems.

A sudden allocation of silver will not only increase the burden on the treasury, but also increase the corvee service for the people.

It's true that it's not necessary.

It’s not that Zhu Yuanzhang and others all looked opposed.

But since Chu Ze said that, he naturally had his own plans.

He said: "In our era, there was a saying that 'If you want to be rich, build roads first', because only when transportation is convenient can it develop faster. Now our carriage is already fast enough, right?" At least it is faster than before, so what else can be expedited.

“But there are faster.”

"What you said is probably a car, right?" Zhu Biao thought of what Chu Ze had said to him before, and immediately thought of this.

Zhu Chuang and Zhu Di looked at each other and looked at Zhu Biao in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "What kind of carriages? Are they all carriages?" At most, some carriages are faster.

Are there any other cars?

Chu Ze said: "Yes, it's the carriage. It's not the kind of carriage we see now, but a more advanced and mechanized car. Of course, we can't think of a fully mechanized car like I said, because we can't build it at the current level of technology. But we can learn from it and create faster cars that meet the current social conditions. In this way, it should have taken three days, which may only take two days, and a little faster, it may only take one day."

Whether it is traveling or shipping things, the efficiency will be greatly accelerated.

Don't they want such a good thing?

Zhu Yuanzhang and others' eyes suddenly lit up.

They looked at each other quickly and saw yearning in each other's eyes.

"Can you really shorten the time so much?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait.

If he is like what Chu Ze said, he will get much faster wherever he wants to go in the future.

Maybe I am still in Yingtian today and can arrive in Shanxi tomorrow.

Then the day after tomorrow, you can return to Yingtian again.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt very happy just after thinking about this.

Chu Ze nodded: "It's certainly possible."

"But the premise is that you have to build the road first. If you want the car to be fast, in addition to the car itself, the road surface must also be flat, which can reduce the wear of the vehicle and increase the speed of the vehicle."

After Chu Ze said that, Zhu Yuanzhang became silent.

He was not trying to agree with Chu Ze’s proposal, but was thinking whether the money was enough.

The roads across the country have been built, which is not a small amount.

And now it's time to use troops.

It's really like spending money.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have to carefully consider every large expenditure.

After careful calculation, the two of them frowned and came to a conclusion - they had no money.

"We are about to use troops against the Japanese. The two places are separated by the vast sea. Whether it is ships, food and weapons, they all need money to support them. Although we can use war to support the war, the initial expenditure cannot be reduced, and we even have to reserve some money for emergencies."

After a quick check in his mind, Zhu Biao continued: "Although the remaining money can be enough for daily expenses, building roads is definitely not enough."

The principle of road construction and war is similar.

Once construction starts, every day is money.

One day it stopped, all the money lost was white.

Anyway, short of money.

Chu Ze: "..."

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang had to ask him to attack the Luo family before. It seems that he is really short of money.

But this path will be repaired sooner or later.

Where can I get the money?

Chu Ze began to get into trouble.

Before he could think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a decision for him.

"You can still put the road back now, Chu Ze, the car you just mentioned..." Zhu Yuanzhang kept hinting with gestures, "What does it look like?"

"Yes, I also want to see what the car you are talking about is like when traveling thousands of miles a day." Zhu Chuang sat upright and looked at Chu Ze expectantly.

Facing four pairs of eyes, Chu Ze... Chu Ze had to continue to show his soul painting skills.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were used to it. Even if they disliked him, they could still understand it.

But this car looks too strange.

The wheels are so big, and the body is so low.

What are the four holes above? Can this car go without a horse?

A lot of questions emerged one by one.

Chu Zeyi answered: "Of course I can leave because the power of this car is not a horse, but oil."

"Oil?" Zhu Di turned his head and looked at the oil lamp in the corner.

Chu Ze: "It's not that oil, but something hidden deep in the ground, called oil, is extracted from it." It's not the animal fat or vegetable oil used to burn in the oil lamp.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang and others with confused faces, Chu Ze calmly took a sip of tea.

This is something that is not available now, so they naturally don’t recognize it.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then asked the key question: "Since there is no oil, how should this car move?"

The others immediately reacted.

"Yes, Chu Ze, didn't you say that this car needs oil to move, but we don't have oil."

"Can you replace it with something else?"

Zhu Chuang and Zhu Di expressed their opinions one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang became much more straightforward.

He waved his hand and was extremely domineering: "Chu Ze, do you think there is oil? Our Ming Dynasty is powerful and now we have a gun again. Not to mention sweeping the whole world, but it is okay to subdue most places, right? You said, as long as you point to a place, we will fight and grab all the oil there. In this way, there will be oil, and the car can move?"

He is worthy of being the emperor, but he is domineering.

Chu Ze wanted to give him a thumbs up.

But Chu Ze really dared not point out this.

He knew where there was oil. First, it was because of the distance. Second, they didn’t have the mining technology. In the end, even if they were mined, it would be a huge problem to transport it back.

So Chu Ze shook his head without hesitation and said bluntly: "I can't say it, you can't do it even if you say it. You have to do it. It will only waste manpower, material resources and financial resources. In short, no matter how you calculate it, it is a thankless thing. Instead of doing this kind of thing, it's better to change the way."
