The opening of the Beijing-Tianjin Line is an extremely important new thing in life for the people in Beijing and Pingjin.

Because the emperor has personally tried and given them a detailed data.

Three hours.

It only takes three hours to get from one place to another.

Moreover, this kind of transportation will never stop due to the existence of wind and rain. It is separated from the traditional foot strength and horsepower is subject to the limitations of specific environments and weather.

This is the greatest progress, which means that the transportation capacity of the times has become more advanced and convenient.

Everyone was happy about it, only Zhu Wenkui was a little unhappy.

Because of the soaring price in Beijing.

When many people from Pingjin saw that they had this thing, they simply rushed into Beijing.

Pingjin completely became a huge shipping port in Beijing, and most of the people who had money or not moved to Beijing.

The rich ones live in Beijing with all their needs. Even if you want to live in your hometown, you can come back to visit relatives and friends at any time. If you don’t have money, you simply think about the many employment opportunities in Beijing.

However, the old saying goes, you won’t have to worry about too much debt. Since Zhu Wenkui took office as the prefect of Beijing, not only has the housing prices in Beijing not only not dropped, but have also risen for three or four consecutive rounds, and Zhu Wenkui himself has become numb.

Let's rise.

Sure enough, housing prices cannot be controlled by manpower at all, nor can they be suppressed by the government as long as they say they want to reduce them, unless they are forced to use policy intervention to roughly interfere.

Zhu Wenkui had not written a draft proposal to the cabinet in this regard, but was rejected by the cabinet without exception and did not agree to it because he was the eldest prince.

What's more, the cabinet now does not have so much leisure to care about Zhu Wenkui's actions in Beijing. The opening of the Beijing-Tianjin line has allowed the cabinet to see more benefits.

This benefit is by no means only at the economic level, but more at the national level.

"Is it feasible to build a railway to Samarkand?"

The cabinet convened the Ministry of Transport and several top railway engineers to discuss this matter, and the reply received was affirmative and feasible.

"In ancient times, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and had the Silk Road, but the Silk Road was taken by people after all, horses, mules and camels. Now the new road we have developed is a steel road.

This new Silk Road is more convenient and faster, allowing the country's dominance and influence to quickly penetrate into the barbarism thousands of miles away, and spread the great glory of the king and father on every inch of the land in the world."

After receiving a positive answer from the Ministry of Transport, Xu Buji's excitement became much higher, and he began to outline a wonderful and great empire blueprint.

"We need to quickly build three railways to these cities in Samarkand, Moteng, and Delhi, India, and urge the Academy of Sciences to improve more advanced steam locomotives as soon as possible. Using railways, we will be able to control the entire Minglian more powerfully and firmly.

Let our Ming culture be deeply planted into the lives of the people in these areas, and to use one path to drive the progress and assimilation of the entire Ming League, which is called the Belt and Road Initiative!”

After the cabinet meeting, this new 'Belt and Road' national policy was decided and was quickly presented to Zhu Yunwen's case, allowing the latter to almost spray out a mouthful of water.

He shouldn't be too familiar with this name.

"Originally, the first draft draft of Tongzheng Department was one of the Belt and Road, but I felt it was a bit unpleasant and difficult to read, so I simply dropped it, called the current Belt and Road."

I don’t understand why Zhu Yunwen is so moved, so Xu Buji still told the truth about the name: “The existence of the Minglian system is of no doubt about the importance of our Minglian system. How to tie the Minglian firmly with our Ming Dynasty is the top priority at the moment. Therefore, I think that instead of developing the domestic railway line first, this matter can be slowed down first.”

The existence of railways can connect far and near, promote economic development and prosperity of trade. This is a well-known consensus, but Xu Buji feels that its priority is far less than increasing control over Minglian first.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and nodded: "Her Xu's consideration makes sense. The domestic railway network can be built at any time, but it is indeed an urgent matter to increase the control of our Ming Dynasty over the surrounding countries and the entire Ming League, and to increase the infiltration and influence of culture. Let's follow the way Mr. Ge wants to do it.

The Prime Minister can regulate according to his own ideas. If you need to increase the investment and support of the Ministry of Transportation in the treasury and other aspects, you can also make a decision depending on the situation. I agree."

Xu Buji was very moved by the emperor's support as always as ever in recent years. He immediately stood up and expressed his gratitude, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen.

"There is no need to be like this. I feel relieved if I have the presidency of this matter. Let's talk about other things."

Xu Buji was confused and confused: "What does Your Majesty want to talk about?"

"Look at this." Zhu Yunwen took out a piece of memorials from the desk and threw them in front of Xu Buji. The latter took it and took it to see it. The expression on his face became much more complicated, and finally turned into a laugh.

"union."

Zhu Yunwen leaned against the golden chair and closed his eyes and said softly: "First he created a student union at Nanjing University, and now he is jumping up and down at Longjiang Shipyard. He is preparing to create such a workers' union. I can guess where he is going to extend his hand next."

As he said that, Zhu Yunwen stood up again and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands in his arms: "Please ask the old master of the Pavilion to look at me for guidance. I will give you a special approval. The special information departments of the Xichang provinces in Jiangnan and Jiangnan provinces can be transferred to the commanders."

Behind her, Shuangxi's face changed a little, and she looked at Xu Buji with some disbelief.

Unexpectedly, the emperor trusted Xu Buji so much and actually entrusted his hand to allow Buji to use the largest secret agencies of the Ming Dynasty.

The special affairs departments of six provinces in Jiangnan have tens of thousands of special affairs personnel.

Not to mention the double happiness, even Xu Buji, the person involved, was shocked, thinking that he had heard the sound of his ears wrongly.

For the second prince, the emperor now even gave the Western Factory to himself, just to guide him?

It seems that the so-called trade union appeared, which should have touched a very important place deep in Zhu Yunwen's heart.

"Okay, go."

Seeing that Xu Buji had not echoed for a long time, Zhu Yunwen urged: "Gei Master, go and do your job. For the rest, you, I, the monarch and ministers can coordinate at any time. The current top priority should be based on the policies of the Belt and Road Initiative."

Xu Buji then came to his senses and quickly bowed to take the order. Finally, he looked at Zhu Yunwen, and his lips were stammering for a few times.

"Yes, I'll leave."
