Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

Chapter 479 The Greatest Contributor

The big baby he had been longing for for a long time finally appeared before him. How could Kangxi be in a hurry to get in the car?

He would have to walk around and take a good look.

I don't know how much real money was invested in this big thing, how good is it, and whether it is exaggerated.

Then, after the ship and the chariot of the brave and invincible general, he was shocked again. In front of the ten-foot-tall and over two hundred-foot-long steel behemoth, Kangxi felt that even as an emperor, he was still a little insignificant.

After hearing Yinzhen's inner thoughts, he, who had been mentally prepared for this, was shocked, let alone the other ministers?

Each and every one of them has been shocked since they were brought here.

When they saw the ship, they thought it was the pinnacle of human wisdom.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the Eighteenth Prince took out the invincible General's chariot that made the Russian soldiers tremble in fear.

The extremely greedy Russians were beaten into a panic and never dared to challenge the Qing Dynasty again. Instead, they tore up the original Treaty of Nerchinsk and signed a new one that was completely beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.

The Wako Kingdom was destroyed and the name of Joseon was abandoned.

In just a few years, technology has brought about earth-shaking changes in the Qing Dynasty.

They thought this was unprecedented, but when they turned around, the Eighteenth Prince came up with such a steel behemoth?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. The so-called carriages were ten feet high and ten feet long. There were nine of them in total, plus the locomotive.

It’s a full ten sections long.

It is almost entirely made of steel, even the so-called tracks are paved with fine steel.

Luxurious, too luxurious.

So even though relevant researchers have repeatedly introduced and explained how practical and sturdy this truck is.

All the civil and military officials were shocked and felt that it was a waste of time and money.

They all started to think about the plan at the same time.

Trying to persuade the emperor to be cautious.

Anyway, there are ships on the water, and plans are underway to lay cement roads all over the land. Soon bicycles and steam locomotives will be everywhere.

Then the money-burning railway is completely dispensable!

These guys made no secret of it; rejection was written all over their faces.

It was hard for Yinxuan not to pay attention.

but……

[Hehe, the more obvious your rejection is now, the stronger your true fragrance will be later. I won’t say much, we will learn from practice.]

After talking in his mind, Yinzhen smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "The birthday star, please get in the car and lead our court officials, princes and princesses, and concubines to start this great and refreshing era."

Ok.

Kangxi nodded reservedly, calmly got on the first carriage, and sat in the first luxurious seat.

The princes and court officials also boarded the first and second hard seat carriages.

The Empress Dowager, concubines and princesses got on the sleeper car at the back, along with all the palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial guards.

Oh, the main deterrent targets - envoys from various countries, were all arranged in the middle carriage.

The train carried 617 people, and there were still more than 100 empty seats left.

When this number was reported, the ministers were shocked: "This, can this trip only have 600 or 700 people?"

Yin Xuan nodded: "This is also because we took into consideration that the nobles do not like to be with others and are not used to the cramped carriages, so we specially set up only upper and lower berths in the sleeper carriages."

"Otherwise, if the carriages were all hard seats, each with 118 people, that would be 1,062 seats for nine carriages. Add in the driver and the train attendants, repairmen, and others, and that would be nearly 1,100 people."

"And a train can have more than nine carriages~"

"When transporting soldiers, not everyone needs a seat. When transporting cargo, each carriage can carry 120,000 kilograms."

what?

When this number came out, not only the ministers, but even Emperor Kangxi could not sit still: "Okay, eighteen, tell Khan Ama quickly. Is this number verified, or is it estimated by you?"

Yinzhen raised his head, looking hurt: "In Khan's eyes, my son is actually a person who talks nonsense?"

"No, no, of course not!" Kangxi quickly retorted: "This number is too shocking, Khan Ama couldn't believe it for a moment. If this is true, if there is a war in the future, this thing can be used to transport soldiers and food. Then..."

Yin Xuan smiled and interrupted: "Then our Qing soldiers will no longer have to endure the embarrassment of a protracted march or the crisis of running out of food and grass. Wherever the railway reaches, that's where the Qing army will lead."

"To be honest, this is the motivation for my son to work day and night and to be so hardworking."

"May God bless the Qing Dynasty. With the help of many people with lofty ideals, my son has fulfilled his mission. Now, on the occasion of your 600,000th birthday, Khan Ama, on behalf of all the relevant researchers, I present it to you and to our Qing Dynasty."

"Long live Khan Ama, long live the Qing Dynasty."

have to.

As soon as he shouted this slogan, the civil and military officials who had just taken their seats hurriedly stood up and knelt in the aisle, beside their chairs: "Your Highness, long live the emperor, long live the Qing Dynasty."

"Okay, okay!"

Kangxi was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears. He hugged Yinzhen tightly in his arms and said, "My dear child, without you, there would be no Qing Dynasty today. Thank God for not taking you away in the 47th year of Kangxi's reign. You grew up smoothly and Khan Ama saw the infinite possibilities that belonged to you and the Qing Dynasty."

At this moment, with these words.

However, no one thought that Kangxi was dissatisfied with the crown prince, or had any intention of deposing him.

I just think that the Eighteenth Prince is really worthy of it.

From steamships to the chariot of the invincible general, and then to today's trains, the eighteenth prince has brought so many earth-shaking changes to the Qing Dynasty, okay?

Only Yinzhen, the person involved, frowned: "Khan Ama, you...you are too kind!"

"The Qing Dynasty is what it is today thanks to the joint efforts of you, the second prince, all my brothers and sisters, and the civil and military officials of the court. Of course, your contribution is the greatest among them."

"for example?"

The little guy thought about it seriously: "For example, the importance of my fourth sister, Mo Yaqi, my son, Mr. Dai, and Mr. Huang?"

He pinched his thumb and index finger together and made a small gap. "If you are just a little bit conservative, you will be like those pedantic emperors of the previous dynasties who lived by the teachings of the Ming Dynasty. They always insisted on conquering the world with bows and horses, rejected all technological developments, and even dismissed them as strange and gimmicky tricks."

"Even if my son has the ability to see through the heavens and the earth, he can do nothing about it!"

[Well, it's just like Mr. Huang in history. He has traveled a long way to deliver the bicycle to you, but what happened?]

[Not only did he not receive any attention, he was also severely criticized by the conservative version of Kangxi in history. He advised people to read more books of sages and less tricks. A good Edison of the East was criticized to pieces. He disappeared without a trace. And more...]
