Bringing Railways to the Great Ming

Back in the past, the most suitable thing to do was actually briquettes and stoves, which not only solved people's fuel problems, but also created a large demand for coal, and also protected the environment and reduced the amount of tree felling. With the demand for coal, the next step in the research and development of steam engines will have power and usage environment.

Your Majesty, I have an idea. Wouldn't it be beautiful to dismantle these three thousand miles of railway tracks and build armor?😏

I think Lao Zhu will tear it down. This thing will affect the stability of the throne too much. The development of capital will only make Lao Zhu and his family confused. First lay the foundation and ask for people and money, then go overseas to develop, and then come back and invade the country of Ming Dynasty, forcing Ming Dynasty to change.

The most common way to travel back in time to ancient fictional historical novels is to reform some policies after traveling back in time, such as the military household system of the Ming Dynasty, the treasure banknote policy, etc. Make some inventions and creations, such as glass cement, iron making, hot air balloon, three acids and two alkali, etc. Promote the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people! Then actively develop maritime trade. Promote China on the road to world colonization. But there is one most basic core issue in these novels that they avoid talking about. Those emperors of China, what do they want most? Even a civilian emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang. What they want most is that they have great power and that their family's throne will be passed down forever. Rather than the so-called national prosperity. If you can ensure that you are in control, even if the country is weak, the suffering of the people will not be unacceptable. Both the Qing Dynasty and the Song Dynasty did this. This was also done in the late Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty. So we have a very difficult problem here. If the protagonist reforms some policies with great disadvantages and invents some very profitable technologies. That's no problem, you can get support. But if you want to vigorously develop industry and commerce, the emperor will strongly oppose it. Because productivity and production relations match each other. After industry and commerce become extremely prosperous, businessmen will be eager to change many of the court's policies. They exert force. Let systems and policies move in a direction that is beneficial to them. They will pursue the feudal system and turn to the capital system. The emperor is a product of the feudal system. There is no supreme emperor under the capital system. So the butt determines the head, and the emperor will definitely hate the capitalist system. Therefore, after the government is stabilized, if the protagonist wants to vigorously develop industry and commerce, he will definitely face a head-on attack from the emperor. China is different from the UK. The UK is small. The royal family has little power. Overseas trade flourished. Therefore, even if capitalism develops rapidly, the royal family has nothing to do and cannot restrict it even if it wants to. China itself is very large. Foreign Trade There is very little foreign overseas trade. Use local power to strangle capitalism with the feudal system. It's very simple and can completely prevent capitalism from developing.

Steam engines, trains, power stations, and electric lights have all been built, but not even a Minie rifle. Don't you think it's strange?

A fellow man holds the railway debris in his hand: "This is what I picked up."

I would like to ask something, how does the author arrange the maintenance of railways and bridges? Modern reinforced concrete bridges, unlike the brick bridges and stone bridges of the past, began to rust and deteriorate without real-time maintenance.

The title of the novel can be changed to "I play videos for Lao Zhu"

It's well written, there's no point of persuading people to give up, and the logic is clear. Come on, author.

It's nonsense. Maintaining the railway will kill people, let alone some who will demolish the railway.
