With the increasing development of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiu's work has gradually increased. From the end of the New Year to now, he basically has no free time. There are things everywhere all day long, and he is so busy that he is dizzy. At this moment, he finally realized the hardship of being an emperor. It is really tiring to manage a superpower like the Ming Dynasty.

By the way, he has a royal memorial machine. He doesn’t need to be criticized. He is still called tired. Then wouldn’t the emperors before him be exhausted?

He doesn't need to review the memorials, but the Ming Dynasty is in a period of vigorous development. There are so many things that he can't handle if he doesn't personally handle them.

Like the second batch of arms sold to the continent, who dares to send them if he doesn't say anything? So before the New Year's Eve, he has to arrange for the Ministry of Works to prepare arms to send to the continent before the 16th day of the first lunar month, and also arrange for the Nanyang Navy to go to the continent to deliver goods.

As soon as the arms were sent out, he had to arrange the development of the Northwest University. Originally, it was the best place for him to go, because the development of the Northwest was not only a local matter, but also had to command 300,000 reserve troops to participate. Most people really couldn't do this.

However, if he wanted to go to the northwest in person, the development of other places would stagnate again. After thinking about it, he had to appoint Chen Zilong as the governor of the three provinces, in charge of military and political affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan. This was a test of Chen Zilong and a test of military and political officials at all levels in the northwest. If he had to come to do everything himself, then the emperor would be exhausted. This time he just wanted to see if a governor of the northwest was not in command and moved. If he could not command, he would be embarrassed. Whoever was disobedient would be killed!

After arranging the northwest, he also arranged for Sun Chuanting to lead the Qin army to escort nearly 200,000 prisoners to start digging the roadbed of the Beijing-Daily Line. According to the plan before the year, he originally wanted to directly build the railway from Beijing to Nanzhili, but now he could only build the railway from Beijing to Kaifeng first because there was not enough personnel. Before he planned to build the railway, he did not expect to expand the capital. At this moment, most of the laborers were busy in Xicheng District, and he had to separate people to lay the telegram network, so he could only build half of the railway first.

After the arrangement, these machinery factories were built again, and the turning dragon was built again. He had to go to observe and guide him personally, and then the test again. The test was completed and the cement was built again. He had to teach people how to use cement. The cement problem had just been taught and the palace examination started again. When the palace examination was completed, the cable factory was put into production again. He had to preside over the telegram test and the laying of the telegram network. When the telegram was completed, Zhu Cijing thought that he could finally take a breath, but as a result, another more important thing came.

Because the steel plant is put into production again, the steel plant is put into production, which means that the railway from Beijing to Kaifeng can finally start laying. Sun Chuanting has led the Qin army to escort 200,000 prisoners for nearly two months. The roadbed of the Beijing Kai Line has been dug long ago. At this moment, he is assisting officials from the Ministry of Works to build the railway bridge along the line.

The bridge construction technology was quite advanced in the Ming Dynasty. A bridge that was about 100 meters long could not be difficult for the bridge experts of the Ministry of Works, but this time it stumped these bridge experts. Other small rivers were easy to say. With super large cement piers, they were built in just a few seconds. However, the Beijing Open Line had to cross the Yellow River, which was several miles wide. The difficulty of building this bridge was imagined. Without cement and steel bars, the bridge experts of the Ministry of Works would not dare to try it at all.

Fortunately, it is the dry season now, and the water flow of the Yellow River is not large. Many places are exposed to sandbanks in the middle of the river. Just find a section with dense sandbanks to mount the bridge pier, and other problems will be easier to solve.

At this time, more than 200 miles north of Kaifeng, in the middle of the Yellow River, nearly 300,000 people moved huge arched steel bar connections like ants. Dozens of giant piers more than ten meters high stood in the middle of the river like jade pillars. Several large blessed boats were parked at the piers near a sandbank. Judging from the posture, these people actually wanted to lift the huge arched steel bar connections onto the big blessed boat!

Although the weather was a little cold, everyone was busy on the beach in the river with bare feet. Some people were even soaked in water. They seemed to have no idea what the cold was.

On the sandbank near the lucky boat, there were also a group of people dressed in officials gathered together to discuss. They were also standing there barefoot, looking at their flushed faces. It was not cold this day, but it was obviously hot!

In fact, the weather is still a bit cold. The reason why their faces are flushed is that these are the officials of the Ministry of Industry and bridge experts responsible for the construction of the Yellow River Bridge. The natural barrier of the bridge piers is equivalent to being conquered. How can they not be excited?

One of the bridge experts looked at the huge piers and sighed: "I can't believe it, we actually did it. I didn't dare to think about building a bridge on the Yellow River before!"

An official from the Ministry of Works immediately flattered Zhu Cijiu and said, "If the emperor hadn't come up with this magical cement, we would have no way to deal with the Yellow River."

Another official from the Ministry of Works immediately relayed: "Yes, yes, the emperor is really wise and powerful, and he can think of anything as magical as cement."

At this time, another bridge expert shouted in surprise: "Release over, lift it over, they have already lifted the steel keels of the bridge arch next to the Dafu ship. Lord Xu, please command them to use a hanging hoist to transfer the steel keels to the ship."

When Lord Xu heard this, he immediately ran towards the Dafu ship. At this time, another bridge expert looked at the top of a bridge pier and said worriedly: "I don't know if it can be hung up at this high level. If the steel chain is broken, it will be troublesome."

At this time, the official of the Ministry of Works, who had just flattered, immediately pretended to be: "Don't worry, don't look at the big steel bars and keels, but they are not too heavy. They only need to be 1,000 pounds to die. When I was in Wanggong Factory, I commanded people to lift the gun barrels weighing two or three thousand pounds, and even hung more than ten, and there was no problem at all."

......

In early April, news came from Kaifeng that the Yellow River Bridge was successfully built!

Zhu Cijiu was so happy that he almost jumped up, and kept muttering: "A bridge flew north and south, and the natural barrier became a thoroughfare, and the Yellow River Bridge has been built. Will the Yangtze River Bridge still be far away? I want to build the railway to every corner of the Ming Dynasty. I want to......."

Before he was happy for two days, Chen Zilong came to urge him. The time for sowing was about to come. Why has the turn of the earth-turning dragon not arrived yet? Even if it is in Kaifeng, it is not enough. What should I do in Shaanxi and what should I do in Shanxi?

What to do? Of course, it is to build a railway. Zhu Cijing gritted his teeth and directly ordered Sun Chuanting to immediately lead the Qin army to escort 200,000 prisoners to build the railway from Kaifeng to Xi'an, and then ordered Qin Gongming to lead the Dingliao army to escort 200,000 prisoners to build the railway from Taiyuan to Kaifeng. As for the construction of Xicheng District, the main body has been completed anyway, so let the Ministry of Works recruit tens of thousands of migrant workers to do the rest.
Chapter completed!
