Chapter 298
Chapter 298
Jin Yiwei carried gasoline bottles and used a six-horse-drawn carriage that the Daming Empire could only use for military and soldier transportation.
From one horse to five horse-drawn carriages in the Daming Empire, they could be sold.
However, carriages drawn by six horses and carriages pulled by horses above them could only be used by Chongzhen and the army.
A 5,000-man guard of Jinyiwei in the East Factory, with 2,000 horse-drawn carriages drawn by horses, planned to transport gasoline bottles to Suzhou, where King Gui is currently located.
In order to ensure that the gasoline bottles were not damaged, a large amount of cotton and straw were used on each carriage as anti-earthquake tools.
Chongzhen personally came to the East Factory Jinyi to load the gasoline bottles into the carriage.
It seems that the spring has to be researched, and after the spring is made, it can be copied infinitely and can be used to create a shock absorption device.
With shock absorbers, the carriage runs on the concrete road and it will not be so bumpy.
"Come, go and call Song Yingxing over."
After a while, Song Yingxing drove the carriage to the location of the East Factory.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me again?"
Chongzhen thought about it, smiled and handed the drawing he had just drawn to Song Yingxing.
"To make this spring out of steel, remember to use steel that is more flexible."
"Your Majesty rest assured, we have long produced this kind of steel with better flexibility, but the output is low, about a thousand catties a year, and it is used in some shock absorption."
"Your Majesty, in fact, the kind of spring you mentioned, we have long studied 830, but the flexible steel production is low, so it has not been used."
After a while, Song Yingxing arranged for the researchers to send the spring over.
"Your Majesty, this is the spring! It was developed as early as the Wanli period, but it was often used by wealthy merchants in their carriages. "
"Over the years, flexible steel production technology has been lost, so the horse-drawn carriages with this kind of shock absorption device have basically fallen into disrepair or been lost."
Chongzhen took the spring, copied the template, and copied the template for the shock absorber made of this super large spring, and stored it in his own system.
Chongzhen arranged for eunuchs and personnel from the Daming Scientific Research Bureau to install these shock absorbers on one horse-drawn carriage to ten horse-drawn carriages.
All these carriages are copied from the template and stored in their own system.
The carriages that Chongzhen planned to copy in the future were all copied from this kind of carriage with shock absorbing devices.
In order to avoid the gasoline bottle being damaged, Chongzhen reproduced 4,000 carriages drawn by six horses and handed them over to Jinyiwei.
Each guard was equipped with two thousand modified carriages, and they transferred gasoline bottles to new carriages.
In the new carriage, cotton and straw are still used as cushions to reduce the possibility of gasoline bottles being broken.
It took ten days, and the two guards of Jinyiwei took a carriage, each transporting 100,000 bottles of gasoline, to Chengdu Prefecture in the land of Suzhou and Bashu.
After Chongzhen sent these brocade guards away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At present, the surrounding countries of the Daming Empire are the Yin Kingdom, the Heshuot Khanate in the west, and the Yarkand Khanate in the northwest.
The other lands are now all lands of the Daming Empire.
"Wang Chengen, go and call the cabinet ministers!"
Cabinet ministers have now purchased private carriages.
Ministers generally bought private carriages drawn by four horses.
They came to the palace and immediately disembarked from the carriage.
"Your Majesty, you looking for us?"
Chongzhen looked at the cabinet ministers who were coming.
"Everyone sit down."
"Wang Chengen, give the ministers a seat."
One by one, the cabinet ministers were trembling, and they had already accepted Chongzhen as an emperor-like existence at this time.
They looked at Chongzhen's eyes with a sense of cowardice.
"Ministers, you are all doing things for Daming, and you don't eat people, so there is no need to be so afraid of Daming."
"Hube Shangshu, do you know the latest number of registered citizens and untouchables of the Daming Empire?" (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
"Your Majesty, there are 56.42 million Daming citizens, and the Daming untouchables are divided into 800,000 Vara untouchables, 300,000 Horqin untouchables, 800,000 Khalkha untouchables, and 300,000 Jurchen untouchables, all in the area of Fukuoka in the Yin Kingdom."
"There are 20,000 untouchables in Wa, 3 million in Annam, 5 million in Siam, and 21 million in Donghu."
Chongzhen listened to the data reported by Hube Shangshu and nodded. (cedj)
The data is still credible.
"Ministry of Works Shangshu, how is the road construction, housing construction, and various infrastructure construction of our Daming Empire?"
Shangshu of the Ministry of Works immediately said: "Your Majesty, the cement roads of all provinces of the Daming Empire are connected, and the roads that are currently connecting the counties are currently connected!" "
"At the same time, we are also building concrete roads between villages."
"The citizens of the Daming Empire, the people of the countryside, are also building green brick glazed tile houses."
"Now the Daming Empire looks at it, and there are green brick glazed tile houses everywhere, which is really new."
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction: "How are the stations in various places built?" "
"Your Majesty, every county seat has built a station, and the station has a long-distance carriage drawn by the eight horses of our Daming Imperial Transportation Company."
"Each station also has a long-distance carriage of ten horses drawn across provinces."
"At present, we, the citizens of the Daming Empire, have canceled the customs clearance documents! Daming citizens could operate throughout the Daming Empire. "
"But the untouchables of the Daming Empire, where their household registration is chosen, they can only operate within the county to which they belong."
Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction: "Very good!" The Daming Empire is already the first in the world. "
"Your Majesty, since we are already the number one in the world, simply don't expand our territory, just need to continue to develop our Daming Empire and become a beacon that other countries in the world can hope for." , Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites put forward his own opinion.
Chongzhen thought for a while and said with a smile: "North and South America, Oceania, and Asia, the Daming Empire must be taken. "
"As for Europe and Africa, I don't plan to take it down, it's not necessary!"
The ministers were curious: "Your Majesty, why is Africa and Europe not necessary?" "
"There are too many major European kingdoms and too many black Africans, and I don't want them to stain the pure blood of our citizens of the Daming Empire."
The ministers nodded, and couldn't help but admire Chongzhen even more.
"Your Majesty, in that case, should we send fleets to Oceania, North America, and South America?"
Chongzhen thought about it, Oceania must send personnel over.
North and South America must also send personnel, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the colonies of the European kingdoms in North and South America.
"Guys, do you have any recommended personnel? Xu intends to form a North American colonial fleet, a South American colonial fleet, and an Oceania colonial fleet. "
"You guys recommend the Fleet Division to choose!"
"Three major fleets, each equipped with a hundred three-masted warships and a hundred three-masted transport ships."
When the ministers heard what Chongzhen said, they all frowned.
These three fleets have to recruit at least a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand people, and His Majesty is really rich.
