Royal Gold Magistrate

Shocked, Lai Gou'er's heart surged, and he lay on the car window again to watch the passing scenery.

The train is so amazing.

The moment is just the beginning, but on the way here, he has already seen that the imperial court is laying railroad tracks in full swing.

What kind of situation would it be if one day the railway tracks covered the entire country?

He is in charge of foreign affairs and business, and he is sensitive to this aspect.

Once all supplies can be circulated by train, there is no doubt that the power of a country will be mobilized dozens or even hundreds of times.

Not only that, the exchange of people and information will also be unprecedentedly fast.

If you are begging for food on the train, it must be very convenient. A group of people are crowded in the carriage, why don’t you give me money......

Seeing him lost in thought, Fang Zhengyi didn't bother him too much, and adjusted to a comfortable posture, leaning on the chair and dozing off.

Along the way, Lai Gouer watched and thought, all kinds of fantasies gushing out in his mind.

It wasn't until the train arrived at the station and a flight attendant came to inform me that I woke up like a dream.

The two got off the train, and the Taoyuan Railway Station was still full of people.

Lai Gou'er asked, "Brother, along the way, I saw many houses emitting black smoke like trains. What are those houses for?"

Fang Zheng said as he walked: "The core of the train drive is the steam engine, and the steam engine can also replace manpower through transformation. Now a small number of factories in the capital have begun to use steam engine-modified machines to produce materials. The black smoke you see is produced by the steam engine burning coal. "

"It can be applied in many fields, and it is just the beginning at the moment. In a few years or more, maybe most of the factories you see can use steam engines. At that time, the smoke from the factories can Smoke the whole sky to ashes."

Lai Gou'er was stunned to himself: "Can that man still breathe? Isn't the smoke from burning coal poisonous?"

Originally, I felt that the steam engine could greatly replace manpower, and I felt that it was infinitely useful, but after hearing what the elder brother said, it seemed that this thing was not as perfect as he imagined.

Fangzheng smiled slightly: "I won't let it happen, but the use of steam engines is still in its early stages, and the railway network is far from perfect. Many factories must be located in the capital to facilitate the transportation of materials."

"In the future, if the factory becomes large and the air is polluted, we can plan a special factory area, or move it to some state capitals in the south of the capital."

The problem of emotional pollution can’t be solved, is coauthoring replaced by polluting others?

Lai Gou'er scratched his head.

Fang Zhengyi slowly said: "In the future, with the construction of factories, there will be many problems. In the future, a large number of new factories will be completed, and a large number of people will gather in areas where factories are developed. This trend has already occurred."

"The imperial court has relaxed the restrictions on road guidance, and people from surrounding areas have come to gather to make a living. This trend is even more obvious in Taoyuan County."

"To solve this problem, one is to continue to expand the existing city, and the other is to build high-rise buildings. The higher the buildings, the more people they can carry."

Fangzheng pointed into the distance, and said vigorously: "Look there, I have arranged people in Taoyuan County to plan and try to build high-rise buildings in Taoyuan County."

"In the future, the first unparalleled tallest building in the world will be completed in Taoyuan County. With the current technology and resources in Taoyuan County, it should not be a problem to build a tall building of more than ten meters in the future. I have already thought about the name, so I will call it Skyscraper!"

"A tall building of more than ten feet!?" Lai Gou'er was startled.

There are not no buildings with a larger scene than this, and there are many pagodas with a height of more than 60 meters.

But the symbolic meaning of those buildings is greater than the actual meaning. The skyscrapers mentioned by the eldest brother are obviously prepared to accommodate a large number of residents.

As far as he knew, he had never heard of such a building.

"Such a tall building, going up and down the stairs will not be exhausting. Can people live in it?" Lai Gou'er asked, "And this is a building for people to live in. Can the court agree?"

"Sooner or later, the imperial court will realize that manpower is a problem for the capital. If it does not want to expand, it must build tall buildings. Although the imperial court stipulates the height of the residence, compared with the actual problem, the imperial court will definitely compromise with reality." Fang Zheng said.

"The housing you mentioned is indeed a problem. It is very difficult to go up and down the stairs. But we have steam engines now, and some factories have produced elevators converted from steam engines. In the future, as long as they are designed properly, they should be able to be used upstairs. In addition, besides...."

Fangzheng explained in an unhurried manner.

In fact, he had the idea of ​​building tall buildings as a gray man a long time ago, but before that he had neither practical significance nor technical strength.

At present, more and more people gather in Taoyuan County, and it is no longer a problem that external expansion can solve.

Besides, he has already expanded outside the law once. Only by building tall buildings can more people be accommodated, which will add some highlights to the history books of later generations by the way.

After the steam engine was successfully developed, he had talked with someone about this issue.

Is it possible to build a skyscraper with a glass curtain wall and elevators.

As soon as the idea was proposed, almost everyone was excited by the idea of ​​skyscrapers, and they all said that Mr. Fang is the god of architectural design.

This is no less than building a wonder of the world!A highlight in architectural history!

There are also many civil engineering students at Eastern Suburb University, and they are making progress over the years.

It is not a problem to simply build a high-rise building with the current reinforced concrete. Even the sketch has been drawn. Fang Zhengyi even added an elevator shaft on the sketch beyond the times.

A legend in the hotel world in later generations, Caesar Ritz built an elevator shaft in the hotel before the invention of the elevator.

Now such a legendary story can only fall on Mr. Fang, the historical plagiarist, and others...don't get involved!

"...After ten or twenty years, maybe you will be able to see countless high-rise buildings rising from the ground in Taoyuan County! That scene is absolutely spectacular!"

After listening to Fangzheng's talk about the idea, Lai Gou'er kept making up his mind, and was already in great shock.

Looking at the crowd around me, the world feels even stranger...

"But, but...if everyone lives in the city, who will farm the land in the future?" Lai Gou'er said after recovering.

"At the beginning of the invention of the steam engine, the imperial court was also worried that it would replace manpower and cause no one to cultivate the land and reduce food production, but this is not a problem. We will have more foreign resources and advanced agricultural tools." Fang Zhengyi smiled mysteriously.

If the guess is correct, there are countless hidden treasures on the distant equator, and there is nothing to worry about with labor reserves.

It's just that the imperial court is facing too many choices at the moment, and there is no time and energy to continue to open up the sea.

Will use it sooner or later.

He has already brewed a new version of the triangular plan about the future...but this plan cannot be implemented by Dajing.

If the game is taken off, then the reputation he has accumulated for so long will not be stinky?

We have to wait for Dajing to gain a firm foothold in the West before finding a white glove to execute it...

"By the way, when you go back to the west, you will buy more watermelon fields and cotton fields, which will be useful in the future."
