Zhu An smiled and said, "This is the method that came from His Highness. Your Majesty is going to use saltpeter to continuously make ice on the way to maintain the temperature in the ice cellar on the carriage.

As for the ice cellar, it is filled with cotton both inside and outside. My ministers and others discovered that the cotton can not only keep warm, but also keep cold, so it should be possible to use it here.

It’s just that we are still experimenting, the distance can only be about a hundred miles, and we need to continue to improve.”

Isn't this the kind of summer mobile popsicle vending bucket I saw a long, long time ago?

Seems like a feasible way.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "If it doesn't work, you can dry it in the sun or pickle it."

After all, there are thousands of miles between Daqing City and Yingtian City.

It was impossible for Zhu Yunxi to force Zhu An and others to transport fresh beef and mutton to Yingtian City.

However.

Just at this time.

Zhu Gaochi on the side looked at the two of them as if they were fools.

"Why can't you drive the living cattle and sheep outside Yingtian City and slaughter them? In this way, wouldn't they be the freshest beef and mutton?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi shook his head with confusion on his face.

A gust of wind blew.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu An looked at each other.

They will never admit that they just acted like a fool and discussed how to keep beef and mutton fresh.

"It's so blue today!"

Zhu An looked up at the sky and sighed.

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement: "It would be great if my old man and father could come and take a look."

Zhu Gaochi sniffed, looked at these two fools, and said hesitantly: "But if you drive cattle and sheep to Yingtian, you have to pay attention to the road and make sure that the cattle and sheep don't lose weight while walking.

But after leaving the pass, there is little pasture in the south, so this is not the best method, but it can only ensure the freshness of the meat."

It's time to show that you are not a fool!

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "As long as you plant grass on both sides of the official road along the way, let the postmen choose places to plant grass! Choose places with many rivers and sufficient water sources. In this way, you can always try to ensure that the cattle and sheep going south will not starve.

Already."

Things that can be solved manually are unlikely to become difficulties and troubles.

In the Battle of Hulun Lake alone, the number of soldiers reported from the front line who were injured and could no longer serve in the army exceeded 5,000.

These are serious injuries.

Next, according to the rules of the past few years, they will naturally be arranged in batches to go to official inns or government offices in various places.

As for those soldiers who were injured but did not necessarily have to retire from the army, people from the tax office would come to screen them and then go to the tax office to become glorious tax soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and collect taxes for the country.

Building a southward official road full of pasture was just a matter of words for Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, but finally closed it silently.

After all, there is almost no fault with this method.

However, Zhu Yunxi sighed: "The best way is to have a direct railway from Daqing City to Yingtian City. As long as the train is loaded with forage, it only takes about ten days to pull the cattle and sheep there."

Go to heaven."

Zhu An blinked, his face full of curiosity.

This was the first time he heard that it only takes about ten days to get from Daqing City to Yingtian City.

If we expedite 800 miles, we can still make it there.

But if you are driving thousands of cattle and sheep, then such a time can only be described as a miracle.

Zhu Gaochi tilted his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi suspiciously.

"Do you want to go to court and agree with Xie Jin's proposal?"

After finishing speaking, his eyes were locked on Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi nodded without comment.

"The Ming Dynasty needs to find new land and grasp the true appearance of this world. But it must not forget that many of its inherent old lands are still lost."

The Ming Dynasty needed the Western Regions.

Like...

kindness.

Just like people need to eat and drink water.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's frown, Zhu Yunxi knew that the other party probably did not agree with the construction of the direct railway to Hamiwei now.

He explained softly: "Da Ming is now concerned about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it has been temporarily relieved.

As long as Zhang Ergong and others are given some time, the people's houses will not collapse because of a rain.

Traveling, including cement roads, railways, etc., is very different from the past. It can be said that it is changing with each passing day.

But what about clothes?

You can’t say that everyone in the Ming Dynasty will be able to afford silk and satin in the future.”

This is really a fantasy.

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

This is something impossible to achieve.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Although the Western Region is bitterly cold and full of Gobi desert, it has unique and superior conditions. It will become the best cotton planting land.

As long as the imperial court can plant enough cotton in the Western Regions, it can produce more cotton clothes for the people of the world."

Little rain and plenty of sunshine.

The Western Regions are not just for growing cotton.

You can also grow many other things.

As long as those who go to sea and go out of customs can bring back all kinds of novel species.

Zhu Yunxi believed that the Western Regions would become a Western Region that the world had never seen before.

Zhu Gaochi was still a little hesitant.

He hummed twice.

"Let's wait until our class teacher returns to Beijing before we talk about this matter."
