    On the train from Taiyuan, Shanxi to Beijing.

    "Woooo~"

    With the sound of whistles, Ali Pasha came back to his senses.

    Although it had been several hours since he had been on the train, Ali Pasha was still deeply impressed by the power of the train. He picked up his pen and began to write slowly.

    "When you see the train for the first time, you will be deeply shocked by its huge body. It is like a giant dragon and huge. This is the largest and longest machine I have ever seen, just like  It¡¯s like a city wall.¡±

    ¡°The craftsmen of the Ming Empire were so amazing that they were able to invent such advanced and powerful machines.¡±

    "Imagine a tall city wall, filled with more than two thousand people running at the speed of horses, who can set off towards their destination day and night."

    ¡°The most important thing is that when you sit on the train, you won¡¯t feel the slightest bumps. You can drink tea, read, and write while leisurely looking at the scenery outside or chatting with the people around you.¡±

    "If you feel tired, you can lie down, close your eyes, and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will find that you are hundreds of miles away."

    "This is an extremely great invention that will surely benefit the whole world and all mankind. Of course, the people of the Ming Dynasty also knew this. It is said that the team that developed the train was personally received and rewarded by the Ming Emperor. They were awarded the title of nobility and a large number of  reward."

    ¡°The Ming Dynasty people were very crazy and developed such a powerful and terrifying train, but the really scary thing is that the Ming Dynasty people also had huge financial resources to develop railways.¡±

    "The road the train travels on is called a railway. It is a specially built road. It is paved with gravel. Sleepers are laid on top of the gravel. Rails are set on the sleepers. The train runs on the rails, so even if it is invisible at night  , it can also drive.¡±

    "According to the information I have heard from people here, building trains costs a lot of money. It uses high-quality steel to build railways. The steel required for one railway is probably far greater than all the steel in the Ottoman Empire."  not enough."

    ¡°The construction cost of one kilometer of railway is 50,000 taels of silver. A railway from the capital of Ming Dynasty to Nanyun Province in the far west costs more than 500 million taels of silver.¡±

    ¡°This is an unimaginably huge number, and all of this is based on the Ming people¡¯s own huge factories, workshops, and construction teams.¡±

    ¡°If we in the Ottoman Empire want to build such a railway, its cost may be more than ten times higher. The Ottoman Empire simply cannot smelt the required steel, and there is not enough steel to build the railway.¡±

    ¡°The train runs very fast and can cover 40 miles in an hour. If it runs continuously throughout the day, it can travel thousands of miles a day.¡±

    "Its powerful carrying capacity and terrifying speed are really important for a huge empire like the Ming Empire."

    "In order to strengthen connections between various places and control various parts of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court formulated a five-year railway plan and prepared to build several north-south and east-west trunk railway lines in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Currently, the east-west trunk line Beijing-Western Railway, the north-south railway line, and the north-south railway line have been started.  Main line Beijing-Hangzhou Railway.¡±

    "At the same time, the people of Ming Dynasty raised funds through the stock exchange and have now raised funds to build several railways, connecting Liaodong and the grassland area. The Beijing-Liaoning Railway is said to be built all the way to the Vladivostok port in the north. In order to facilitate the transportation from  Golden Continent returns goods and personnel to Ming Dynasty.¡±

    "In order to strengthen control over the northern grassland area and prevent the expansion of the grassland nomadic tribes, the Ming Dynasty also planned to build a railway from the capital to Beihai. Once this railway is completed, it will be like a sharp sword hanging over the grassland, and  Just like a straw, it can continuously transport cattle, sheep and horses from the grassland to the Central Plains."

    "There are still many railway plans for the Ming Dynasty, and the progress is very fast. From project establishment to raising funds and starting construction, it is extremely efficient."

    "The people of the Ming Dynasty are very supportive of road construction. They believe that repairing bridges, repairing roads, building schools, etc. are things that have great merit and great blessings. Many rich people are willing to do these things and gain a good reputation.  .¡±

    ¡°The strong support from the public not only made it very easy to raise funds, but also made the resistance encountered at the local level very small, which made the railway construction very fast.¡±

    "I can fully imagine that in another ten years, the railway will cover most of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire huge empire will be tightly tied together by the railway and inseparable."

    "Sit and go fastContribute to the strength of the country.  "

    Ali Pasha smiled, young people should have such confidence.

    As for Moses on the side, from the moment he set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, he was thinking about how to make money. As for the country, the Jews did not have their own country at all. If the country was strong, they would go to that country and become the leader of that country.  Just people.

    The key is to have money and be able to control the economic lifeline of this country.

    "After you go back, you must write to the Jews in Sephardi and ask them about their situation in Ning. The Ming people are really too xenophobic. Such a huge empire is unwilling to accept us Jews. This is really a pity.  "

    ¡°This place is so rich, and it is a unified and powerful empire with a unified currency, units, etc., and such a powerful railway. It is simply a paradise for businessmen!¡±

    What Moses was always thinking about was how to make money. Seeing the prosperity and power of the Ming Empire, he really wanted to immigrate a large number of Jews to the Ming Empire. Unfortunately, the Ming people only wanted slaves.

    "Rustu, you must remember this train. It is such a simple train. It is a great dragon, a dragon of the times, a rolling dragon. We in the Ottoman Empire must build our own railway!  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
