Chapter 292 If routine doesn’t work, then go unconventional!
Restaurant.
Complete silence.
Zhou Ziliang, Wang Xuanfan and other officials all stood silently on the spot.
They watched the people below with dull eyes as they left, still in a state of fugue.
a long time.
I don’t know who made some noise and woke up everyone who was standing still.
Lin Shijia said in horror: "What does this Xia Zhibai want to do? Isn't it enough to build a steam engine? Do you have to build an iron horse? Doesn't he know how big an impact this thing will have on the world? ?”
“If the control is not good, it will cause chaos in the world!”
Lin Shijia was a little angry.
The appearance of the iron horse frightened him.
As a local official, he knows the value of this kind of thing very well.
Whether it is moving goods or transporting people, it will be extremely convenient.
And this is an 'iron horse', which also means that one day it can even replace the 'real horse'. Nowadays, the roads are long and the roads are long, and transportation is inconvenient in many places. If there is an iron horse, I am afraid that all over the world, Everything will become smooth.
Even
Day and night, the imperial army arrived.
This picture makes people shudder just thinking about it.
And once this iron horse is put into operation, the court's control over the world will be strengthened, while the local control over the states and counties will undoubtedly be greatly weakened. By then, if you want to hide something or cover up something, it will become There are many difficulties. Is this a good thing for them?
Zhou Ziliang’s face was equally ugly.
He took a deep breath, looked at the entrance to the market that had dispersed, his eyes were a little deep, and said: "Xia Zhibai finally showed his fangs. This is his fundamental purpose. Yan Zheng is just a person. Under the guise, what he wants is to break the old pattern of our place.”
"He knows that it may not be possible by other methods, but with these machines, it is very possible."
"Because."
"We can't stop it!"
< br>"Once the imperial court gives an order, we can't resist at all. We can't even find an excuse. The imperial court will not listen to our excuses. The imperial court only wants to see the final result. When this iron horse is really repaired, the world will be full of it. The imperial court will The decree can be sent to the local government without any hindrance, even directly skipping us."
"It will be directly in the hands of state and county officials."
"And it will be much easier for the imperial court to send people to secretly investigate."
"Because this thing is not under our control at all, and it will certainly not be allowed to be controlled by us."
"We all "I've been tricked!"
Wang Xuanfan was worried and said: "Then what should we do?"
"Let Xia Zhibai do whatever he wants and then just wait." He put the reins on us?”
Zhou Ziliang sneered: "Do it?"
"What can you do? What do you dare to do?"
"Do you really think that the five thousand soldiers sent by the imperial court are here for fun?"
“And this time, Xia Zhibai played a trick and did not communicate with us. Instead, he directly informed the world of the 'Iron Horse'. Although it is only the people of Yuhang at the moment, they are still alive. Words are also spread by mouth, and it won’t take long for them to spread throughout the world.”
“We can’t even stop it.”
"The only thing that can be done now is to hope that this iron horse is just a showpiece and will not be as effective as it is said to be. Otherwise, when the iron horse really spreads across the world, I am afraid that the whole situation will change drastically."
< br>"This Xia Zhibai is a talent."
"He is also a genius."
"There are all kinds of weird ideas constantly, which makes people worry."
" However, we are not in a hurry now. This iron horse will not be built so quickly in the short term. We should still have time, but if we wait for a few more years, or more than ten years, it is not certain. By then, this iron horse will connect the world, and we will The idea of blocking places has completely failed.”
Zhou Ziliang shook his head.
He withdrew his gaze and slowly went downstairs.
He knew that the done thing was done and everything was in vain.
And the rapid expansion of the salt factory has told the court that the Ming Dynasty can provide so much iron and support such a rapid expansion. In the past, there were many people serving in the Ming Dynasty, and the people actually had deep resentments, but now By replacing manpower with machines, a lot of manpower has been liberated. After all, these people have somewhere to go.
Building these is the place to go.
All this is part of Xia Zhibai's plan.
It’s just that they didn’t see it.
Xia Zhibai saw it very early and made plans in secret.
Now, they have to bear the price for their stupidity.
Wang Xuanfan's face was livid, his eyes full of unwillingness, and he said coldly: "We have our own nostalgia in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many waterways. This iron horse may not be suitable. Besides, such a large amount of work will not be completed in a while. If it can’t be done, we have plenty of time to object.”
"It's just that this may require a lot of help."
"But no matter what."
"We must not let Xia Zhibai's treacherous plan succeed."
"Southern This is the south where we and other scholars are located. If it is under the supervision of the imperial court, it will have no chance of survival."
Lin Shijia nodded. "The ambition of this white wolf in the summer."
"I don't believe that he can really bring this external theory to the court."
"Even if it comes to the court, I don't believe it. No other officials object?!"< br>
“He has changed too much.”
“Isn’t he really afraid?”
"Aren't you afraid of causing chaos in the world?!"
Lin Shijia gritted her teeth and cursed, her heart filled with hatred for Xia Zhibai.
Li Benmo shook his head.
He didn't stay here longer, turned around and went downstairs.
The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.
Their thoughts are not on the same level as Xia Zhibai's.
Even their understanding of what Xia Zhibai wants to do is not at the same level.
How can this possibly solve the problem?
The other side.
Hualun was also stunned.
He looked at Xia Zhibai blankly and said: "Have you really developed the iron horse?"
"How is this possible?"
Xia Zhibai said with a smile: "It's just a prototype at the moment. It will take some time before it really hits the road, but now it is just for display, to scare local officials and make them calm down a little. Don’t really think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the court is beyond the reach of the whip. "
Hua. Lun rolled his eyes and said: "You're not trying to scare me, you're clearly going to scare me to death!"
"This thing has changed the existing situation in the world too much."
"Whether it is water transportation, personnel transportation, or information transmission, it has been greatly improved."
"In the future, if local governments want to engage in fraud and make some 'empty seals', it will no longer be easy to find excuses. "
"You have ruined the livelihood of countless people!"
"Right now, this kitchen household is in a state of uproar. When the iron horse comes out, I'm afraid the whole world will not know about it! Have you really thought about what will happen?"
Xia Zhibai laughed and said, "You are actually overly worried."
"These things, unlike table salt, are not so easy to popularize or promote. At least the court does not have that much money to promote them. Moreover, although this is made of crawler tracks, if you really want to popularize it, you can only lay it on Railway tracks."
"The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. How can it be so easy to build railways all over the world?"
"It is destined to be a long-term project."
"However. You are right.”
“The emergence of Iron Horse is destined to change the existing local ecology in the world. The old conservative and closed local ecology will definitely be violently broken, and local protection and local barriers will be broken. It will also be torn apart, and the imperial court’s control over the local area will be greatly strengthened.”
"All this is doomed."
"It is also one of the purposes of promoting the iron horse."
"In my opinion, the emergence of machines is to solve problems."
"The territory of the Ming Dynasty is very vast. In the future, the places that can be reached by railway tracks will be the territory that the Ming Dynasty actually controls."
"In today's world, after hundreds of years of evolution, local forces have long been formed and deeply rooted. With the help of Ordinary power is simply difficult to eradicate, and it is impossible for the court to really kill the local area, so it can only find another way."
"Your Majesty can't find a way today."
"I found it!"
"It is to rely on machines to forcibly break the barriers."
"Let the machines change places arbitrarily Ecology, thus forcing local governments to make changes.”
“When a whale falls, everything thrives.”
"When the old ecology of the place dies."
"The entire Ming Dynasty will come alive because of this!"
"I do not deny that the place will be turbulent for a long time. , or even turmoil, but all this may not be beneficial. The old dies and the new is established. This is the basic law of nature."
"Only with change and rotation can the world have the motivation to move forward. ”
“A world that is blindly conservative is a pool of stagnant water.”
"I don't want to see that kind of scene."
"I want to give the people at the bottom a little light, a little hope, so that they have a chance to climb up!"
"I don't I hope the local people will always live like animals."
"They deserve more."
"They also deserve a better life."
"Instead of being blindly exploited and squeezed by the powerful above!"
