Long Zaitian smiled: "Your Majesty, did you ask my family?" She's a busy person right now. ”

"Oh, what are you busy with? Don't even go home? Gao Junshan asked.

Long Zaitian said: "She is in Shanghai now!" ”

"Went to Shanghai?" Gao Junshan was even more curious, "What are you doing in Shanghai?" ”

"Go to Shanghai to do business." Long Zaitian said, "Since we have a train here, there are suddenly more people who come to our Shiping to do business, my family thinks, since you can come to us, we can also go out, so she took the train to the most prosperous city in the country, she said, if you don't do it, you won't do it, if you want to do it, you will do a big deal, so she opened the company to Shanghai, and now not only the business is booming, but also bought a villa in Shanghai, saying that I want to go to Shanghai to enjoy happiness when I am old." ”

"Hahaha......," Gao Junshan said with a smile and praise, "Lady Long is amazing!" ”

Long Zaitian said: "What will she do for business?" It's not that the policy is good now, and we have changed a lot here, no, the railway has been opened, and the cement road has been built, which makes it convenient for us to go out. Everything we sell is self-produced and sold, and there is not much additional expenditure except for some freight, and she made a net profit of 2 million silver taels last year alone. ”

This really surprised Gao Junshan, after the train opened to Shiping, it brought such huge economic benefits to the people here.

He asked with concern, "Have you all benefited from the people here?" ”

Long Zaitian said: "Our Shiping family is rich, if you don't believe it, you can ask them, they, them." ”

Long Zaitian pointed to a group of people in the courtyard.

The housekeeper next to him reminded: "Master Long, please invite the emperor to the table, if you continue to talk like this, the food will be cold!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Take your seat! Long Zaitian shouted into the courtyard, and then bowed down to the high mountain road, "Your Majesty, please take the seat!" ”

The courtyard has been filled with more than a dozen tables, which are prepared for the people in the village, Long Zaitian led Gao Junshan and his party into the hall, and there were also several tables in the hall, which were prepared for some people with heads and faces in the village, Long Zaitian continued to walk inside, and took Gao Junshan to a single room, where two tables of banquets were placed, and Long Zaitian invited everyone to the seats one by one.

Gao Junshan and the three old ministers sat at a table, Long Zaitian was accompanied by one side, and the other table was accompanied by the old housekeeper, and Li Derong, Chen Wubin and several other important members around Gao Junshan were seated.

A basin of chicken, duck and fish meat was served on the table, looking at the table full of delicacies, Gao Junshan and his courtiers were already hungry, and unceremoniously raised their chopsticks to eat one by one.

During the meal, Gao Junshan Long Zaitian: "When was the last time you came here?" ”

Long Zaitian said: "Back to the emperor, it was twelve years ago. ”

"Oh, how time flies!" Gao Junshan sighed, "I remember that I invited Lady Long to live in the capital for a while, but I didn't expect to forget everything when I got busy. ”

Long Zaitian said: "Yes, I still remember that the emperor said that when the train is passed, let us go to the capital to see you, and now that the train is finally open, you have come to our small village." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I'll tell you the truth, I haven't been back to the capital for more than ten years, I've been busy all over the place, busy here, busy there, look at me, my hair is busy gray, but I can't go back to the capital, so I'm afraid that the matter of inviting you to the capital will be in vain!" ”

Long Zaitian said: "As long as the emperor is well, it will be the same everywhere." Well, now that we have the train, we can meet at any time. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Yes, yes! You see, my wives have gone to North America now, and now they can go wherever they want. ”

Long Zaitian said: "This is the blessing of the emperor!" ”

Gao Junshan asked again: "Do you have a train here to enter the capital?" ”

Long Zaitian said: "Yes, there are two trips a day!" I heard that the railway on the Donghu side will be completed soon, and if that railway is opened, there will be at least five or six trains from our side to Beijing every day! ”

Gao Junshan said: "Yes, the train has changed the lives of people in the mountains, and everyone's horizons have been broadened. ”

Long Zaitian said excitedly: "When the railway line in Donghu is opened, we can go to Manchester City, Yangon, and Mumbai. ”

"That's a good thing!" Gao Jun Mountain Road, "The road leads to wealth!" I hope that you will make your business bigger, and it is better to go overseas and make money from foreigners. ”

Long Zaitian raised his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, don't just say you don't eat, hurry up and put down the chopsticks, if you don't eat any more food, it'll be cold." ”

……

After the banquet, Gao Junshan and his entourage returned to Shiping Station, which is much more convenient with a luxury special train, which is both a means of transportation and accommodation.

After returning to the carriage, the four of them sat in the box of Gao Junshan and drank tea, at this time it was already dark, and the lights in the carriage had all been turned on.

Gao Junshan asked while drinking tea, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" Isn't it a spin in the ravine? ”

Bailisha said: "Your Majesty, haven't we turned enough of the ravines and ravines?" If you don't go, let's enjoy this beautiful Yunnan scenery on the train! ”

Tian Wenju agreed: "That's it, we are on the train, ask them to get some Yunnan snacks, we take the train, while eating Yunnan snacks, while enjoying the scenery of Yunnan, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Gao Junshan nodded and said, "Let's do it, and notify the kitchen to go to the market tomorrow for a big purchase." ”

……

At this time in Yunnan, the railway line of the Donghu section has been fully completed. The completion of the entire line of the Donghu Railway means that the eight main lines of the country are all open to traffic, and all the railway lines in China are connected to one railway network, regardless of the north, south, east and west.

The Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge and the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge, which cross the Yangtze River, have also been successfully completed; The Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge, which spans the Yellow River, has reached the beginning and end stage.

In less than two months, the country's five railway-highway bridges will be fully opened to traffic, and they are:

Jinling Yangtze River Bridge, Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge, Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge, Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge and Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge.

The reason why these railway projects were completed ahead of schedule was that in addition to the dedication of the railway builders, the most important thing was the invention of TNT explosives in Huaxia, the explosive power of TNT explosives was 14 times that of black explosives, and since the blasting with TNT explosives, the progress of the project was greatly advanced, and the estimated time for laying the railway in Donghu was shortened from five years to two years.

The national railway construction project was mentioned to be completed in three and a half years, and after the completion of the railway project, it was faced with how to arrange the six million laborers of the island country, and the Huaxia Railway Bureau did not dare to call the shots, and Cao Xinru, director of the Railway Bureau, sent a telegram to Gao Junshan for instructions.
