Emperor Chongzhen did not think about asking the ministers to answer, and said with a little pride: "Actually, some of you who are dear friends should have thought of it. That's right, it's the car driven by the steam engine. I called this one for the train, after all, it was a car powered by fire!"

Speaking of this, he stood up, glanced at the ministers, and waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see this new type of transportation. Haha, don't underestimate it, this can bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty."

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen didn't sit much, so he walked by himself, took his ministers out of the gate of Wenhua Palace, and walked back in a mighty manner.

Although these high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty followed Emperor Chongzhen, they did not walk silently like those eunuchs and palace maids. They walked together in groups of three or three, whispering this matter.

For these ministers, there is a recognized fact that no one can compare to Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Personnel, in terms of scientific and technological knowledge. Therefore, several people came to Xu Guangqi.

The assistant minister Xue Guoguan asked in a low voice: "Shangshu Xu, is the train the emperor mentioned is a steam carriage?"

When he said this, he was a little sure of it, otherwise he would not have asked this in embarrassingly, but directly asked what kind of train was!

"Yes, according to Your Majesty, it should be a steam engine that replaces the horse pulling the cart. Isn't it just a steam cart?" Shen Yongmao, the Minister of War, was also very interested and interrupted.

Xu Guangqi nodded after hearing this, and saw a group of colleagues looking at him, he replied: "There is not much lake in the Forbidden City to run on steam ships. Besides, His Majesty has already said that it was a car driven by the steam engine, and it is probably the steam carriage that Master Xue said!"

Hearing the "authoritative" explanation, the ministers turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen walking in front of him, and some people were a little puzzled. The assistant minister Zhang Zhi asked Xu Guangqi: "Shangshu Xu, this steam carriage, no, what is special about this train? It can actually make His Majesty say that it will bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, if it were just a steam engine to replace the horse, it seemed that the cost of maintaining a car was very high. And think about it again, will we all take the steam carriage to go to the court in the future? Then on this street..." Shen Yongmao frowned and said this with a frown. He couldn't imagine it.

If what the emperor said brought earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty, it means that if there are such steam carriages on the streets of the Ming Dynasty in the future, a steam engine would be noisy enough. If so many on the streets, wouldn’t it be full of the sound of steam engines? And it would also smoke. At that time, the capital would be filled with fog!

However, there are convenient places, so there will be no more livestock on the streets, and it will be cleaner. You don’t even have to worry about whether the coal you bring with you with the cart. Anyway, there are so many steam carts, and if there are no more on the road, it is not a big deal to find other steam carts to misappropriate a few pieces of coal...

Thinking of this, Shen Yongmao shivered all over, as if the advantages of this steam carriage were negligible compared to the shortcomings. Just this could bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty?

Shen Yongmao thought of it, and the other ministers also thought of it. They looked at each other and could see the confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes. The emperor seemed to praise this steam carriage to the sky, this...

Later, should I compliment the emperor and say that this steam carriage is good, or should I report it to the truth, and don’t make this steam carriage!

But now it is the moment when the emperor is vigorously promoting scientific and technological knowledge. If anyone dares to go against this trend, can this official still be regarded as a official?

Thinking of this, someone turned his eyes forward and looked at the chief minister and the junior assistant. This important task of persuasion should be the head of the two officials, right?

Either Xue Guoguan is quite straightforward, and says whatever he thinks, or he is recommended by Wen Tiren, and has a good relationship. He saw him walking a few steps, coming to the back of Wen Tiren, and whispering: "Sir, don't you think this steam carriage seems...it seems a bit exhausting and injuring the people, it seems to be far less useful than an ordinary carriage!"

Seeing Wen Tiren tilted his head and looked over, Xue Guo looked at Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, and then whispered in detail about the various defects of the steam carriage.

In fact, without saying anything, Wen Tiren himself knew it. He frowned and didn't say anything, but just followed Emperor Chongzhen. Sun Chengzong on the side also frowned and was listening.

However, Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the seal next to him, and the eunuchs in charge of the Sili Supervisor who followed behind him turned to look at them one by one, with some inexplicable expressions on their faces, as if they were a little contempt, or they felt like a city man was looking at a country bumpkin.

Although they didn't say anything, the expression they showed made many civil officials see it. At this moment, the civil officials were puzzled.

Logically speaking, civil officials will have a natural sense of superiority when facing these men who have few parts on them. The expressions on the faces of these eunuchs should be what they have, right? They are not stupid either. It can be seen that it should be the steam carriage that makes these eunuchs actually show their expressions of despising themselves and these civil officials.

Turning back and thinking about it carefully, they didn't realize that there was any problem with their thoughts on the steam carriage! This made them even more depressed. What was wrong?

Wen Tiren didn't say anything, but just listened, he saw the expressions of eunuchs such as Cao Huachun and were thinking in his heart. When Xue Guoguan finished speaking, he looked at him eagerly. When he took his attitude, he saw Wen Tiren looking up at Emperor Chongzhen walking in front of him.

He didn't believe that the emperor would not hear Xue Guoguan's words. Although he was silent, the distance was not far away! But the emperor was indifferent and walked as if he hadn't heard it. This seemed to be an attitude.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren showed a serious expression based on his understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, and his voice was a little louder. The Ming Dynasty made sure that Emperor Chongzhen could hear it. He heard him say to Xue Guoguan: "After all, you are an auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty. Don't you know anything, there is a gradual process. Especially the application of scientific and technological knowledge is reflected in this steam engine, which is even more so! Although the steam carriage still has many shortcomings now, as long as it is constantly improved, there will always be a day when this steam carriage will be better than an ordinary carriage..."

As he said this, he looked at Cao Huachun who was walking with him carefully. Seeing his expressionless face, he swept back and found that several eunuchs on the pen showed a hint of surprise.

In this way, he realized in his heart and knew that he should be right. So he continued to teach Xue Guoguan a lesson: "As the assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, his vision cannot be limited to the present. This steam carriage brought earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty, which means the future and after improvement. Now, what we should do is to uphold the holy will and work hard to improve the steam carriage..."

Other civil servants were listening. They did not expect that the steam carriage of the future would be transformed into the Ming Dynasty. But what the emperor said just now seemed to have not said it was the future, nor did they say it was after improvement?

The chief minister admitted that the current steam carriage was a little incapable of making a move, but he did not talk about this shortcoming, nor did he deny it, but talked about the future!

It’s no wonder that the prime minister is the prime minister. It seems that it’s better to learn it!

The second auxiliary Sun Chengzong, who had been silent, was a little disdainful. Some things, one thing, two things, could not take care of the emperor's face and practice Tai Chi. He walked silently, had already made up his mind and would make a point of making a fuss about his words and advice in a while. The steam carriage would continue to improve, but if you want to promote it on an unrealistic and large-scale basis, it would be better if you don't want it!

As he spoke, he thought, and walked, and later, all the officials stopped talking.

The palace maids and eunuchs along the way saw Emperor Chongzhen bringing these officials in a robe to the Imperial Garden, and they all saluted with a very special expression. Just like a child, if you find something fun, you secretly put it in front of the elders, waiting for the elders to find out and look surprised.

Finally, when he arrived at the gate of the Imperial Garden, Emperor Chongzhen stopped and moved for a while, and his spirits improved a lot. Looking at the minister who also stopped, he said with a smile: "My dear friends, I will open your eyes. This train can bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty, which is definitely not an exaggeration!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Wen Tiren again, and then said with a smile: "If this train has not been improved, I will not be able to make any move. Now that I have let you all view it, it can already be promoted and will bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and strode into the imperial garden.

The dead eunuchs basically took a look at the civil servants' queue, and then followed in with that kind of expert expression.

On the contrary, the civil servants were stunned. Because what the emperor said just now seemed different from the result they thought of! However, if they thought about it carefully, they couldn't understand how this steam carriage would bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty. Is it so exaggerated?

If you can't figure it out, you won't think about it anymore. In fact, there is no time left. The emperor has already entered, so they can't stay at the gate of the imperial garden to think about things.

The civil servant headed by Wen Tiren, just entered the Imperial Garden and looked up and saw that there was a huge monster in front of the emperor, which was completely different from the steam carriage they thought.

Just by looking at this, they all knew that they were afraid they had thought it was wrong. No matter how much they thought, they never expected that this steam carriage, no, is a train, could be so long!

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that all his ministers had come in, he ordered several guards who had been waiting for him, "Burn the fire and prepare to start!"

Then he turned to look at the ministers staring at the train, and introduced them in great interest: "You guys should have seen that this train is not just a carriage. As long as the steam engine has enough power, it can pull as many cars as possible!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the ground and said, "Look here, this train is sliding on this rail, which reduces friction resistance as much as possible, and allows the same power to pull as many cars as possible. Moreover, the train will move on this rail, and it will be very stable. To be precise, the train actually consists of two parts, one is a motorcycle and the other is a railway. Let's not talk about anything else, all of you get on the train, let's experience the train first!"

The train's carriage is not closed, but a tourist. Emperor Chongzhen placed the first experimental train in the Imperial Garden, which also had a purpose. A lot of wives at home were idle and could pull them around the Imperial Garden with a train to add an entertainment program.

However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen got on the train first, and then Cao Huachun and others followed closely. After returning to their senses in surprise, the civil servants followed one by one and got on the train one by one.

So many people actually occupied only one carriage, and there were three carriages hanging behind them, all of which were empty.

After a while, the train started, and the speed was not fast, and slowly walked along the prepaved railway tracks in the imperial garden.

On the train, Emperor Chongzhen looked at these ancient people with a smile and did not speak. And these highest-level officials of the Ming Dynasty did not speak, just experiencing the feeling of riding a train.

After completing the lane, the train slowly stopped near the door of the Imperial Garden.

I don’t know when, at this gate, hundreds of eunuchs had already stood there. Many civil servants were a little puzzled. Could it be that so many people were calling for carrying the train?

Emperor Chongzhen waited for the train to stop, and then said to his ministers with a smile: "Good friends, how about going for another round?"

After saying that, without waiting for the ministers to answer, he waved his hand to signal that so many eunuchs boarded the empty carriage behind in sequence. They did not have the preferential treatment of these ministers, and they squeezed one carriage and continued to squeeze down one carriage. The eunuchs of hundreds of eunuchs were finally loaded into the carriage.

Then, the train started again, still slowly and steadily. Seeing this, many ministers looked surprised and turned to look at the carriage behind. They were silently estimating how many people the train could pull at one time!

At this time, many of them already understood a little why the emperor said that this train could bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty!

Sun Chengzong felt a little sweaty in his heart. He was fortunate that he didn't say anything, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face! Thinking of this, he looked at Wen Tiren and found that he didn't blush at all. When he turned to look at Xue Guoguan and others, he finally found signs of blushing.

In fact, Wen Tiren's face was not red and his heart was red. At this time, he finally understood why the dead eunuchs had such an expression when listening to his words. Fortunately, he was smarter and did not advise him. Xue Guoguan was almost cheated by this guy!
