In addition to reforming the official system, Mo Zizai originally wanted to reform the land system, but he was dissuaded by Shi Zhipei.

Shi Zhipei means that nowadays, Mo Zi’s power at this time is not afraid to make trouble for the time being, but if a land reform is proposed, even if it is only implemented in Nanjun, it will stimulate those sensitive nerves in the world.

Now that Nanjun is at its first pacification, it is not appropriate to make a big move. So Mo Zizai has any ideas about the land system, he can quietly implement it in Nanjun, but not to make a big move.

Mo Zizai thought about it and felt that what Shi Zhipei said was reasonable. Anyway, the officials in Nanjun had undergone a major change. No matter what decisions he made, as long as it did not harm the people or their interests, they would definitely not refuse. Therefore, there was no need to make a big fuss to reform the land system and cause a rebound from families in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After understanding it, Mo Zizai directly asked Shi Zhipei to take charge of the distribution of land. After all, he had divided all the fertile land he confiscated from a noble family, it might be difficult to support the people of a county, but it was still no problem to support most of the county.

But now the harvest has passed, and only the fields can not fill your stomach. So after the fields are divided, Mo Zizai asked Shi Zhipei to carry out labor-for-relief, allowing the people of Nanjun to participate in the road construction.

Mo Zizai asked those from the Ministry of Works to tinker with cement, and the difficulty of building roads was greatly reduced than before. In addition to cement roads, Mo Zizai also planned to build railways.

After this expedition, Mo Zizai felt more and more that trains were really important to this era.

This time the army went to war, and it was basically settled in one day, but the road consumed a lot of food and grass, and most of them were fed by auxiliary soldiers who transported food. In this case, the consumption of food and grass was too great.

Therefore, Mo Zizai decided that no matter what, the train must be drawn first, otherwise, if we go back to the battle, the food and grass consumed on the road would be dragged down by the Great Zhou.

But although I made a decision, Mo Zizai was troubled by what material should be used for railways.

In this era, the people are almost madly poor, and the price of steel is so expensive. If Mo Zizai dares to use steel as a track, he will probably just lay it here and then dismantle it and sell it for you. Therefore, it will definitely not work with ordinary steel.

But if the train is so heavy, if you don’t use steel, you can’t stand other materials.

So after thinking about it, Mo Zizai had no idea, so he had to call the officials from the Ministry of Works to Nanjun to ask for their opinions.

As a result, the officials of the Ministry of Works gave an answer without much consideration, which was to use ink iron.

Although the ink iron is relatively precious, its output is not small at all. The reason why it is precious is that it is too difficult to build and has too few uses, so many people do not mine it.

Now the Military Weapons Bureau has initially tinkered with steam engines. It may not be good to use that thing to create too fine things, but it is still okay to build railway tracks.

And the most important thing is that Motitan has an advantage that other materials are incomparable, that is, the people cannot use it at all, and there is no such thing as buying and selling among the people.

So even if Mo Zizai bought the ink iron on a large scale, causing the price of ink iron to rise, there is no need to worry about someone stealing the ink iron rails to buy and sell.

After all, ordinary craftsmen can't do anything to Mo Tie, let alone ordinary people. Even if the people steal it back, they can only buy it with the rails.

As long as Mo Zizai can legislate to protect the railway tracks, no matter what you buy or sell, as long as you catch them, he will impose strict laws. Even if some people dare to steal, no merchant dares to collect them. In this way, the situation of people stealing the railway tracks can be completely eliminated.

“This is feasible!”

Mo Zizai nodded, looked at the official of the Military Weapon Bureau sent by Tao Qiong in front of him with some satisfaction, and said with praise: "If the railway is laid out, you should remember a great achievement!"

"What Xiaguan said is common sense, but the prince doesn't deal with ore much, so he just couldn't imagine that Xiaguan really dared to take credit for such a small matter."

The official of the Military Weapon Bureau was named Zhan Ju. At this moment, facing Mo Zizai's praise, he did not complacent, but replied modestly. However, after saying this, he looked at Mo Zizai and wanted to say something, as if he had something to say.

"It's a small matter for you, but for the railway, this is a huge matter. You don't have to be too modest. If the iron is really useful after the railway is completed, you will definitely be rewarded."

Mo Zizai shook his head and made a promise to Zhan Ju. Then, looking at his expression of desire to speak, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What else do you have to say? Let me tell you. I am in a good mood. As long as it is not too much, I can agree to you."

"Thank you, Prince!"

After hearing Mo Zizai say this, Zhan Ju was overjoyed. After thanking him, he said embarrassedly: "That's right. Before the Xiaguan was in the Ministry of Works, as long as he was responsible for road construction, many of the roads from the capital to various places were responsible for planning and construction."

"So, I wonder if the railway from Nanjun Road Beijing can be built by the abbot? The official promises that there will be no problems. If there is any mistake, the official is willing to come and see him."

This is the world's first railway. Zhan Ju, who knows a lot about trains and has built the road for a lifetime, knows better than anyone else what the abbot's meaning of building this first railway. This is enough to be known as the glory of history!

So after asking this, Zhan Ju immediately stared at Mo Zizai, fearing that he would refuse him.

"Of course there is no problem with this."

When Mo Zizai heard that Zhan Ju made this request, he couldn't help but laugh. When he asked Tao Qiong for someone, he had already told him that he might have to build a railway, so Tao Qiong sent him here 80% to ask him to preside over the construction of the railway, so he didn't have to mention this matter, Mo Zizai would also leave it to him.

So at this moment, after hearing Tao Qiong's request, Mo Zizai immediately agreed, "Of course there is no problem to hand it over to you. All the workers in the entire Nanjun, including those recruited from the sect, can be handed over to you to dispatch."

"I only have one requirement, that is, before the New Year next year, I will see the railway in Nanjun to be built into the capital. If you can do it, you will leave this matter to you."

"Next year?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's request, Zhan Ju did not agree rashly, but now he thought about the time. It will only take three or four months from now to next year to the New Year. The time is a little tighter, but there is enough manpower.

Nanjun now implements labor-for-relief work to work for the court. If it is a heavy worker like building roads, it will take care of three meals a day and receive salary. The people of Nanjun are almost crazy and they will leave enthusiastically. The number of available workers can be at least 100,000.

With these people, plus the warriors recruited from the sects, and the unlimited cement provided by the Military Weapons Bureau, as long as the coordination is good, it will definitely be more than enough to build the railway to the capital in three months!
Chapter completed!
