The New Deal is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. How many people in the world are temporarily dormant, but what about the future?"

In the past, Zhu Yunwen was an idealist.

It's just that in the past few years, he has more things to think about a certain issue more calmly and for a long time.

He stared calmly and deeply at Zhu Yunxi in front of him, staring at the third brother who had led the Ming Dynasty on a journey and no one knew what the scenery was at the end.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered twice.

"I understand all the problems you mentioned. If you don't do it, it will still be the same. If you do it, there may be some changes."

"If it were you, how would you choose?"

The question was returned to Zhu Yunwen.

But after thinking for a long time, he silently shook his head.

"I don't know either."

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "No one knows, but it depends on man-made efforts. Moreover, with the internal stability of the Central Plains, as Zhang Ergong and the others continue to improve the steam train, it can be constructed like cement roads. I believe this will shorten the time between the court and the local government."

Distance also allows us to control the place more effectively.”

Distance has always been a huge factor restricting centralization.

Maybe a certain county in a certain place has already fallen into the hands of bandits, and the central court may only know about it at this time.

Then the imperial court will find out the cause and send troops to suppress it.

If this goes back and forth, a rebellion may take the central court a year or more to resolve.

And if during this period, the frontline military operations fail, or if bandits begin to swarm the surrounding areas, such a disaster may bring down the entire central court.

Roads are built to enable local people to be revitalized and money and materials to circulate.

But deeper, it is also for stronger control of the place.

Zhu Yunxi looked dimly, and the construction of railways was as imperative as cement roads.

Just like when he initially promoted the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Taxation Bureau, the purpose was to return the empire's financial and tax revenue to the imperial court.

Without finances and taxes, no matter how much trouble there is in the local area, they have to be able to spend money and food to buy people's hearts.

"steam train?"

Zhu Yunwen looked puzzled. He had never heard of this thing.

Gao Yangzhi nodded: "With the railway being built and steam trains running on it, the imperial court's control over the local area will definitely be strengthened."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two people and painted a grand picture for them.

"Imagine that one day in the future, the iron-clad steamships sailing from Yingtian City will travel thousands of miles across the sea and no one will dare to stop them. The steam trains sailing from Yingtian City will connect the entire Central Plains.

Then drive out of the Great Wall, into the desert grassland, to the Western Regions and even further west, to the Jiaozhi Road and even the entire southern region.

What would the Ming Dynasty look like at that time?

At that time, could the Ming Dynasty be worthy of the supreme glory that belongs only to the Ming Dynasty?"

I don't know why, tonight Zhu Yunxi was lying in the military tent in the camp outside the city, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.

That's why he came up with the idea of ​​sneaking into the city and chatting with Zhu Yunwen.

Unknowingly, he drew a grand picture in front of Zhu Yunwen. At the same time, there was hesitation in Gao Yangzhi's eyes.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two of them, but stood up and patted his butt.

"That's it, let's go back to sleep!"

"Tomorrow, there will be another excitement waiting for everyone."
