79 Porturing

The head of the steam locomotive had stopped, but it was still spitting smoke, the rising water vapor was scattering in all directions, and the people on the car had begun to open the doors and jump out of the car.

For the unknown, people are in awe of the first thing, especially such a big guy nearly 100 meters long, all made of steel, and the people who went out from the Abu Hotel to watch the excitement are still staring blankly at this long, dragon-like behemoth like a legendary dragon.

Watching the people walking down above, some people also began to come up, and watched closely, the angular black body of the steam locomotive, exuding a cold meaning, showing unparalleled strength.

Seeing that the staff who got off the car were busy loading and unloading materials, these people also hurriedly went up to help, and humbly asked the people who came out of the valley for advice, releasing the shock and doubts in their hearts.

The people of the valley did not deliberately avoid talking about it, they noticed the expressions and reactions of these people, and understood their feelings, because they had been shocked by such a scene not long ago.

Zhang Liang was carrying the two corners of a cloth bag in both hands, ready to carry it on his shoulders, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man next to him trotted over and greeted Zhang Liang enthusiastically: "Hey, little brother, don't fight so hard, let my brother give you a hand." ”

Zhang Liang saw that this self-acquaintance was dressed in a common business travel dress, and he should be a businessman from the inn of the travel bureau, so he didn't see it, so he let this person help him carry the cloth bag and throw it into the carriage together.

Back and forth, the two of them also got acquainted, and this middle-aged man named Guo Chunsheng from Cangzhou, Hebei Province asked Zhang Liang curiously what this steam engine was.

Zhang Liang did not stop the work in his hands, Guo Chunsheng also helped him to work, Zhang Liang told him what he knew and understood, because Mr. Abu told them that only when people are fully close to technology and familiar with it, they will be confident and bold to use technology.

If you want to build the railroad in the valley further, even all over the country, then you need to have a lot of publicity and general acceptance, and they are the first and hardest evangelists.

Of course, he won't say the core technology and secrets, and he may not be able to figure it out himself, but as long as he can make others understand, the steam locomotive is very powerful, very powerful, and very fast.

They loaded another bag of supplies and got on the car, Guo Chunsheng looked around at the steam engine with envy, patted the carriage next to him with his hand, and said: "Brother, I envy you for having such a powerful invention, if you didn't really see the real thing, I wouldn't believe that such a big iron guy was pulled up by water vapor." ”

"Brother Guo, don't you know, a moment before the steam engine started, I was still there to suspect that our husband was coming, and now I think about it, I am really stupid, just like our Master Bai said, you can't always use my simple brain to guess our Mr. Abu's thoughts."

"Your husband is really powerful, you are comparable to Mr. Kong Ming in the Shu Kingdom."

"Actually, our husband is much more powerful than Kong Ming, don't hide it from Brother Guo, the glass products, soap, liquor, and steam engine produced by our hotel are all led by our husband, although Zhuge Kong Ming is also very powerful, but I haven't heard that he has done these things that benefit our people."

"That's true, by the way, brother, I won't tell you, brother, I've been waiting here for nearly ten days, but the various goods you produce are too sought-after, and it won't be my turn at all, brother, can you do me a favor and give me some soap."

"I see." Zhang Liang clapped his hands and said, "Originally, we are only responsible for transportation, and others are responsible for production and sales, but since my brother's words have come here, and the brothers are embarrassed not to help, you can rest assured, I will say hello to you when the time comes." ”

"Thank you so much brother." Guo Chunsheng hurriedly thanked him, he did queue up here for a long time, but he came for the goods here, and he could only be anxious if he couldn't get the goods.

Looking at the large amount of materials still piled up here, Zhang Liang turned his head to Guo Chunsheng and said, "Brother Guo, wait for me, I'll say a few words first." ”

Then he climbed to a high place and shouted to the people below: "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me first, I know the hard work of all the merchants who come and go, and I know that many people are waiting here to get their goods."

Let me tell you, it's not that our production speed can't go up, in fact, our products are mainly delayed by this road, and too much energy and time were wasted in the back and forth transportation in the past.

Now, with the steam locomotive, we no longer have to worry about not being able to queue up and not getting the goods, as long as we turn around quickly, the faster we can get the goods.

Therefore, I hope that everyone will do it and help us load these materials on the car, so that we can bring the new goods back to the big guys, and those who help load the materials can enjoy the priority of getting all kinds of goods. ”

At this moment, many people who were watching from the side also stepped forward to help, and the purpose of many people leaning on here is not to get the unique goods here?

Zhang Liang then shouted: "The big guy can rest assured and boldly load all kinds of resources on the car, you can rest assured, this big guy doesn't eat grass or drink water, just burn coal, and have endless energy."

And I heard my husband say that in the future, the railway will be built all over the country, and then everyone will not have to walk so hard to do business, and they will do this work by sitting and eating some food and lying down and sleeping. ”

Someone said below, "Isn't it still going to take a nap?" I still don't believe in this evil, everyone tries to load supplies on it, and I don't believe that it can't be crushed. So everyone laughed and carried the goods in full swing.

Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high! The mountain-like raw materials piled up in the inn had been loaded when it was almost dark; If these goods were transported by cattle alone, it might take more than ten days to turn them around, but now they have been completed in most of the day.

The steam engine, which had turned the front of the locomotive, continued to smoke and roar, dragging its long body away, and the rest of the people stared at the steam locomotive in the distance, and suddenly felt that all this that happened was as unreal as a dream.

In the evening, the Abu Inn is brightly lit and offers a variety of fine food and drinks free of charge.

After a day of working together, everyone became familiar with each other, and they talked with great interest about what they had seen and heard during the day, introduced themselves to each other, and talked to each other about business.

And wait until tomorrow, they will get the long-awaited goods and start running back, and the news about the invention of the steam locomotive at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is also scattered like the wind, and there is an urgent fire letter, which will send this information to the heart of the Tang Dynasty - Chang'an City.
