Chapter 938 The beginning of the transportation revolution
Early this morning, a grand and complete royal ceremonial war came out of Shangqing Palace. In the round, all the princes and ministers left Bianjing together to go to the special railway inspection train around the Beijing-wide railway.
As a royal chief and one of the prime ministers of the dynasty, Gao Fangping likes to show off. This time, Xiao Gao specially replaced it with a special steel chain mail. As a standard configuration, he also carried a divine arm crossbow that was not very good at using on his back, guarding him in front of the emperor like a general of the Zhenguo.
Zhao Ji is a nostalgic person. Every time Xiao Gao pretends to behave like this, although he always thinks of his loyalty and courage. For example, when a big turtle in the palace is in trouble, Xiao Gao is the first person to react.
While guarding the imperial frame, Gao Fangping looked at Liang Shicheng like a thief. Liang Shicheng shrugged helplessly and said, "I have tried my best, but the emperor still wants to start from Shangqing Palace, so our family can do nothing."
In this regard, only everything is left unspeakable, but Gao Fangping has no choice.
The Shangqing Palace was also one of the symbols built on the imperial city to respect Taoism. Like the Shenxiao Palace, it is a kind of worship of the "Taoist Feng Shui" of the Song Dynasty. It is just that it is another line, not from the Shenxiao School of Lin Lingsu and others. But overall, they are all ancestors.
As an ancient royal family, it was very superstitious. Whenever there was a major event, it was also the key to starting a place, which represented the concept of Feng Shui layout. Although the treacherous minister Gao Fangping had laid the groundwork in advance and asked the Imperial City Office and the Zizheng Hall to arrange other places, Zhao Ji generally believed in Taoist priests and still respected Feng Shui. He believed that this was an important moment, so he chose to start from Shangqing Palace to seek good luck.
Gao Fangping has tried his best. The illness has subsided like a thread. He did not expect to kill the Taoist priest at one time. He could only control it, and training is always the kingdom.
Many of his disciples and grandchildren were trapped, and Lin Lingsu ran back to his hometown. But now in politics, Taoism is still the state religion. For example, when Gao Fangping entered Chengdu this time, he might also face a fight with a group of Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain.
Secondly, Lin Lingsu was just "returning home to do business", and he was still Zhao Ji's Jinyu Jun. He had such a great title. The title of "Jin" in this era represents the highest level of preciousness, because it is the imperial color, such as the Golden Palace, which is the highest level of palace.
Jin Yu means that he is Zhao Ji's most noble feather and a clerk. The clerk means a guest. Since ancient times, guests have always been an independent existence. The status is not the highest, but it is really not low. He is not considered to be any subordinate. Jin Yu's clerk is the most special and national teacher under the command of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The reason why Gao Fangping's railway policy was suddenly resisted was that the Southeast Group borrowed the reputation of Jinyumen and gave the emperor some suggestions from the Feng Shui level. This caused the emperor's concerns and then held Prime Minister Cai Jing accountable, which put pressure on Cai Jing.
Later, the emperor was easily persuaded by Gao Fangping, which means that although Lin Lingsu was helping Cai Bian and the others seek political interests in this matter, he was very gentle. No one knew what he said in the Taoist book he submitted to Zhao Ji. However, this gentle situation would definitely happen. Lin Lingsu must have left a hand, which dragged Gao Fangping back, and did not say anything to death, leaving some room for him.
Therefore, when Gao Fangping deceived the emperor, the emperor did not rebound much. This shows that the thundering method that happened in the capital before was the so-called "a brave man who met on a narrow road" and Lin Lingsu was frightened by Gao Fangping's fierceness. As an old fox, he would not say that he would lean against Gao Fangping, but he would not do anything so that he could make a move later. This should be the general idea of the old fox Lin Lingsu.
Lin Lingsu is really smart. He has now mastered the method of interacting with Zhao Ji.
The reason why Gao Fangping was easy to convince the emperor this time was that, except that Lin Lingsu was reserved, the internal internal Taoist priests were unstable. Gao Fangping strongly ordered the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain to lead the way. Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation of Tianshi, gave Zhao Ji a Taoist book, which was basically to explain to Zhao Ji using another school of Feng Shui theory: the Beijing Railway is the ring dragon, which represents the return of the Qinglong to protect and other things. It generally means that Kaifeng Prefecture will be more prosperous in the future and demonstrate the prosperity and peace of the country.
In fact, Zhang Tianshi's theory is the opposite of Lin Lingsu's autobiography. Lin Lingsu is a person who said that Kaifeng shui is not good and suggested moving the capital. However, Zhang Tianshi is a faction that maintains Kaifeng shui as the king.
Master Zhang’s influence on Zhao Ji is not as great as Lin Lingsu, but he is still a master. So since Master Zhang Tian expressed a different theory from Lin Lingsu, he would make Zhao Ji’s position more neutral.
So at the critical moment, the favorite minister Gao Fangping said that the emperor's concerns were dispelled. In fact, this process is still an exchange of total energy.
This was a last resort. The so-called medicine is three parts poisonous. The pill of Zhang Tianshi was used to treat this disease. The sequelae was "the resistance of the medicine". Zhao Ji still trusted Feng Shui theory, so despite Gao Fangping's efforts, Zhao Ji was still traveling from the "Dao Palace". The only difference is that he changed from Shenxiao Palace to Shangqing Palace.
However, I can't take care of so much at the moment. I'll pull it for a while. I'll take out a shock, otherwise the great devil wouldn't be able to withstand it during this period. All the monsters and monsters were talking, and the rhythm became more and more serious. I was scolding Gao Fangping everywhere for doing face-saving projects.
Today, it is the response to all doubts...
When they arrived at the scene, Zhao Ji sat on the dragon throne on the school ground where the seats were temporarily arranged, and the others sat in turn.
I saw some kind of giant crawling on the railroad tracks in front of me, but it was covered with yellow silk, looking quite serious.
A technician and a soldier walked forward and said, "All equipment is complete, wait for instructions from His Majesty the Great Emperor."
Zhao Ji couldn't wait, so he ordered a little excitedly.
When the staff exposed the special train covered with yellow cloth, countless people were surprised, and they didn't know what the hell was. They looked like a stupid and thick big bear, and they were not good at all.
Zhao Ji was also embarrassed. He liked good-looking things and good-looking people, so he was a little confused at the moment. Why is this thing so ugly? Is it useful?
Fortunately, Zhao Ji also thought this thing was very big. Seeing his muscles and strong look, hesitated and said, "Little Gaoqing's family, can this strange thing really carry ten tons of weight?"
"Your Majesty, it's not ten tons. I plan to pull the experimental weight to the limit of thirty tons." Gao Fangping smiled.
Thirty tons!
A large number of exclamations came from around.
"Your Majesty just wait and see." Gao Fangping waved his hand and ordered them to speed up their homework.
Then, in full view of everyone, countless sergeants participated and were loading iron blocks of standard weight into the three cars continuously. At the same time, the weight was strictly calculated.
Zhao Ji was unaware of the sternness and looked at him with great interest.
As for other people, those with a little common sense know how heavy those iron blocks are. Whenever an iron block is loaded on it, some people are secretly shocked. Thinking about the weight of such a large amount, the rails will soon sink.
But it was loading continuously, and the trains and rails remained motionless.
"ignition!"
After the weight of thirty tons was loaded, the ignition order was issued, and the big monster was emitting bursts of black smoke and making a strong roar.
At this point, countless screams appeared around him, feeling that something was about to happen, but it didn't happen for the time being, just like a monster coming.
As the rumbling sound became stronger and stronger, as if he was trying to make a life, the big monster train was getting rid of some kind of pull and began to move slowly.
"It moved, it really had the strength to break free and get started!"
Zhao Ji pointed to the train excitedly and said stupid words. In fact, he was the person who could understand this state the most. He played with hot air balloons. As the heating process, the gravity lift tug-of-war reached the critical point. Zhao Ji was the one who could most understand the slightly swaying "break-free" force.
Zhao Ji was shocked, and of course the others were also shocked, and they stood up and looked at him in horror. The weight of this ghost thing was not only not trapped in the land, but it was actually moving without any horses or cattle!
Not only did he move, but he also started running!
As the black smoke grew stronger, the tremor eased from strong strength. With the help of a certain inertia between the iron wheels and the rails that had almost no yielding deformation and loss, the train passed the initial "hard" state and ran rumblingly, rumblingly with the speed of an adult man walking quickly.
"Woo!"
Now Zhao Ji felt even more awesome.
The heavy weight of the people and governments is the ox cart. I won’t talk about the shortage of ox carts, and I really can’t pull too many things. But this big guy actually drags dozens of tons of weight, and his speed has surpassed that of the ox carts.
Even if most people hope to make a bad pork, there are experts, and those who are not experts understand the basic truths. The emergence of this thing is a subversion and a transportation revolution. So many people forget the surprise applause.
"this……"
Uncle Zhang quickly took off his sunglasses and after confirming that he was right, he quickly put on his sunglasses.
I'll go ~
Unexpectedly, such awesome and magical thing was tricked out by Gao Fangping again.
After the shock lasted for a long time in the crowd, Zhao Ji then returned to his spirit: "Beautiful, this thing is so ox, it carries such a large weight and has exceeded the ox cart. Xiao Gaoqing's family, tell me, can this thing be faster?"
"Under the current conditions, you can still get a little faster." Gao Fangping said.
Zhao Ji stopped sitting. He was excited and curious, and rode his horse and started chasing the train.
Others followed one after another, so the scene was like a battlefield marching, and a group of people chased the train.
The final speed reached its end. Because of the super loading, after testing, the maximum ability of this set of turbines can achieve a speed of nearly six knots at this weight.
That is, the speed of 11 kilometers per hour is slightly slower than the speed of bicycles in later generations. This little weight and speed seem too cold, but this is really a milestone. It is the crystallization of all the technical and technological processes of the Song Dynasty that have been burning countless money over the years.
