Beijing Railway Station is the first railway station to be built. The entire station covers a large area, and the entire station is divided into two parts: front and back. The front is the station that ordinary people see. You can buy tickets and wait in the station. The train will stop here for people to get on and get off.

However, the second half of the station is not disclosed to the public, because it is more like a factory, and the front and carriages of the train are produced here. Those who can work here are either top craftsmen or mechanical talents from the Xuzhen Academy.

"Uncle Fourth, you see, all of them are the top talents in the Ming Dynasty. They are not only here to produce trains, but also to study the performance of trains, discover problems and improve them. After all, the trains are just starting to run now, and some problems are often found, and they have to solve them all." Li Jie introduced to Zhu Di beside him while walking in the spacious factory.

Zhu Di couldn't help but admire the complex machinery in front of him. Although he couldn't understand it at all, he knew that after he assembled these things, they became the train he had taken before. He was not inferior to the fast horse at all, and he was tireless, without any problems, and he could even keep running.

After signing the alliance with Zhu Yunyu, Zhu Di did not rush to leave, but planned to stay in the capital for a few days. After all, he rarely came to the capital once. Although the alliance was signed, the subsequent implementation would not take a day or two, so there was no need to worry at all.

In fact, the exchange agreement signed by Zhu Di and Zhu Yunyu was completely outlined, with only some general things, and a more detailed rule will be added next, but these need to be agreed upon slowly, and the specific implementation time will probably be calculated over the years. Even Zhu Di may not be able to complete this agreement in this life, and Zhu Gaochi will need to be reported to him.

"The train is good, it's too expensive!" Finally, Zhu Di came to a completed locomotive, then shook his head and sighed, the price of the railway was already sky-high, even like the locomotive in front of him, the construction cost alone would cost more than 100,000 taels.

"In fact, the cost of trains has been reduced a lot. After all, with the improvement of technology, many costs are declining. If standards are formed in the future, the costs may drop a little further." Li Jie explained with a smile.

The train is still improving and has not formed a certain construction standard, so the cost remains high, but it doesn't matter. As time goes by, these problems will eventually be solved slowly.

"The price reduction will be expensive. Of course, the most expensive ones are these talents. If I go to America, God knows when my subordinates will build such a train?" Zhu Di suddenly said with emotion. What he envies the most in the Ming Dynasty was not the vast land and the rich resources, but the lack of various talents. This is what he wanted most.

"There will be certainly there. Didn't the agreement you signed with Your Majesty write about it? You want to relocate one million people, and it also includes talents from all aspects. Now the recruitment of the Truth Academy is increasing, and there will always be some people who like to take risks. If you promise to make a lot of profits, there will definitely be someone who is willing to move with you!" Li Jie smiled again.

"I hope this is the case!" Zhu Di said nervously.

Although the alliance has been signed, Zhu Di has no idea about this matter. After all, this exchange is too much involved. Ordinary people move a lot, let alone people like Zhu Di who controls a country will be even more complicated. It is estimated that they may not be able to move cleanly in decades.

Seeing Zhu Di's concerns, Li Jie could understand his mood, so he thought for a while and smiled again: "Uncle Fourth, in fact, the help of trains is far less than that of steamboats. So if possible, I suggest you pay more attention to steamboats. If the steamboats can be promoted in the future, the connection between Ming Dynasty and America will be closer by then."

Sure enough, when he heard Li Jie mention the steamboat, Zhu Di immediately became interested. He immediately grabbed Li Jie and asked, "I saw that steamboat when I came. It is indeed fast and flexible. Where did that thing be built? Take me to see it!"

"You can't see it now!" Li Jie spread his hands helplessly when he heard this.

"Why?" Zhu Di asked in confusion.

"Because the steamship was developed by Nanjing Qiuzhen Academy, this kind of ship is also built in Nanjing. However, recently a steamship workshop has been specially built in Songjiang, and this kind of ship will be mass-produced in the future. So if you want to see it, you have to go to Songjiang." Li Jie explained.

"Go! You have to go, and I have to order a few ships. I can see now that this kind of ship will definitely replace the current sailing ships. We must let our subordinates get familiar with them!" Zhu Di decided immediately.

What Li Jie admired most was Zhu Di. Although Zhu Di was usually irritable and impulsive, it seemed no different from an ordinary warrior, he had a natural intuition that allowed him to make the most correct judgment in complex situations. This is probably one of the main reasons why he was able to choose to succeed in history.

"Okay, Uncle Fourth, if you want to go, I will ask someone to make arrangements immediately. I will accompany you to take a walk in person!" Li Jie also made a decision. Speaking of which, after the steamboat was born, he had always wanted to see its construction process.

"Okay, it would be better if you are with you!" Zhu Di nodded immediately. He also wanted to talk to Li Jie about the matter of the covenant. After all, he was really unsure of this matter. Listening to Li Jie more can make him have a greater grasp of this matter.

"It's still early. Uncle Fourth, do you have anything else to see? As long as you speak, I'll ask someone to arrange it immediately." Li Jie asked with a smile again. Zhu Di hasn't come back for so long, and the capital is developing very fast, especially the use of some new technologies, which has caused many things to change greatly.

"I want to see a lot of things, but what I want to see the most now is the Juezhen Academy. The steamboat and trains are from there. Although I have been there before, I haven't been here for so long, and I don't know what new things have been created on the academy?" Zhu Di said at the end, a little emotion appeared on his face. If possible, he really wanted to move the academy to his side.

"There are a lot of new things on the academy. I'll think about it..." Li Jie said, thinking for a moment, then clapped his hands and said excitedly, "There is one thing that you must be interested in, and it just happens that there is still time now, so I'll take you to see!"
