The spring breeze in February is like scissors, how warm and cold. www.biquge.info years after the pen "Fun", Yan Jiakang and Shan Feng set off for Qingdao. After leaving Qingdao for more than 8 months, it seems that Yan Jiakang did not expect to go to Qingdao again. The indications show that the murder of the Japanese ronin has become an unsolved case, otherwise the government should have heard the wind and caused a storm in the city. So far, there has been no movement, indicating that the Saiforts have concealed the incident. The reason why they didn't report themselves was because they rescued Anjia.

This trip to Qingdao, whether or not you can get the help of Mr. Saifort is very important. Yan Jiakang knew that while the Germans were building the Jiaoji Railway, they put into operation a coal mine in Fangzi District, Weifang in 02, and transported coal to Qingdao that year. However, the coal produced by the Fangzi mine was not in good condition, the calorific value of the coal was low, the cinder content was large, and due to the high cost of mining, coupled with the limited inland consumption, the production of the Fangzi mine mined by the Germans was basically stopped after half a year. Both the German Navy and the German factories in Qingdao refused to use coal from the Fangzi mine and instead bought coal mined by Japan in Fushun.

The same is true of Saifut's brewery, he is a businessman, and businessmen are profit-seeking. In business, the Qingdao Germanic Brewery had two ships dedicated to transporting coal, and the purpose of the company was to persuade Mr. Seiford to use his coal-carrying vessels to buy coal at a reasonable price. Yan Jiakang, the trip of Shan Feng is to arrive in Pingdu first, and then take the train to Qingdao. With the opening of the railway, the large-scale intersection of logistics, Pingdu logistics is very busy at present.

Pingdu City was in sight, and Shan Feng broke the silence. "Brother Ge, how sure are you in doing business with the Germans, don't be self-defeating and disappoint Master Li!" "Frankly, I'm not 100% sure, but I have to do it. Even if I have a certain certainty, I will do my best, and this is my chance. "Brother Ge, what do you mean by this, could it be that you want to control the gold mine in the future?" "Gold mine is pediatric in my eyes, but it's an excessive weight. Whether or not this opportunity can be grasped is a matter of great importance, and we can only succeed and not fail. ”

Pingdu is located in the middle of the Jiaolai Plain, the Baisha River flows around in the south, and the railway station is located outside the city wall in the north of Pingdu. An ancient town, supported by a modern steel dragon, has a unique charm. The convoy entered the city, the sunset swayed the afterglow, the spring breeze swept the streets and alleys, and the warmth became stronger. The willow trees on the side of the road give birth to tender green shoots, showing a green world. Caravans from the south to the north gather here, and the streets are bustling and crowded. The convoy arrived at the city gate, and Yan Jiakang and Shan Feng got off the bus and merged into the flow of people.

Two girls appeared on the bustling street, looking around curiously, followed by a strong man with a package in his hand. "Miss, what's there to see here, the train won't arrive tomorrow morning, let's go to the inn to rest!" Qiu Hua muttered. "What's the hurry, it's the first time I've gone out for so much, I'm going to take a good stroll!" "I know you can't forget that little white face, but people are already married, so you will die of that heart!" "Ge Yunfei, what is it, he didn't take a fancy to me, I can't look down on him!" Qiu Ying's face sank.

Qiu Ying's ruddy face was a little fairer, and it was obviously a little sluggish. "Miss, I don't know what you think after so many years of serving you? You've been dead for the past two months, otherwise the lord won't let you go to Qingdao to relax! ”。 After the old calendar year, Mrs. Qiu saw that her daughter was depressed and thin, so it was convenient for the old man to discuss and let Qiuying go to Qingdao to relax. Qiuying's uncle ran a restaurant in the old town of Qingdao.

The waiting room of the station is not large, but the European architecture is distinctive. There is a table clock on the Babylonian minaret in the middle of the waiting room, which makes it easy for passengers to keep track of the time. At this time, the platform was empty, Shan Feng came out of the waiting room, holding two tickets in his hand and said: "Brother Ge, there are no tickets for the private room, I had to buy two hard sleepers, the train will arrive at the station at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, we must find an inn." "It's still early, so let's go out into the streets." "I've been to Pingdu before, but I didn't expect it to become so prosperous!" "This is the wonderful use of the railway, there is a way that when the train rings, the gold is ten thousand taels!"

The next day, Yan Jiayasu and Shan Feng came to the station. The two of them slept late last night for a drink, and woke up a little late in the morning. The two hurried to the station, and the train had already arrived. The two of them boarded the train and set off. The conductor checked the tickets and then guided the two to find their seats, and before the two of them were seated, their expressions showed surprise, and the two women sitting opposite them also looked at them in surprise. "It turned out to be Miss Qiuying, where is this going!" Single-peak response quick hello. Qiu Ying's resentful gaze was fixed on Yan Jiayasu, and her neck twisted to one side.

"Brother Shan, let's go to Qingdao, why are you going!" Qiu Hua spoke. "Coincidentally, let's go to Qingdao too!" Yan Jiakang sat down with a smile and continued: "Qiu Ying, how are you?" "Miss Ben, that's good! Eat and sleep! You're satisfied! Qiu Ying was angry, as if he had eaten gunpowder. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the two sides fell silent. The train was running over the field, and the scenery outside was unobstructed, and Qiu Hua and Shan Feng were attracted to look out. Qiu Ying bowed her head and was silent. "You're on a train for the first time?" Looking at Qiu Ying's pale and haggard face, Yan Jiayasu felt heartache.

"Ge Gongzi, have you been on the train?" Qiu Huahuo retracted his gaze and accosted. "My family is in Tianjin Wei, so naturally I have taken the train!" "The train over there is so fast?" "Yes, would you like to hear interesting facts about trains?" "Ge Gongzi is well-informed, so let's talk about it!" Qiu Hua saw Qiu Ying's straight face, intending to ease the awkward atmosphere. "The train is a product of modern civilization, and its appearance has changed the whole world. Trains were invented by the British, who used the steam engine to build trains about 100 years ago, and at that time trains were about as fast as ox carts. ”

Seeing Qiuying listening with his head down, he knew that she was attracted and became more and more pretentious: "With the rapid development of science and technology, trains, as the most advanced means of transportation, are rapidly popularized in countries around the world, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and the speed of trains has reached 50 kilometers per hour. Trains appeared in the Qing Dynasty 40 years ago, the British built a small railway of less than a kilometer on the outskirts of the capital. At that time, this small railway appeared, which caused a shock in the Qing Dynasty? Yan Jiakang deliberately stopped, Qiu Ying was obviously attracted and dissatisfied: "Why don't you say it, you did it on purpose!" ”

The surrounding tourists also gathered around, and Yan Jiakang said with a smile: "At that time, the Chinese people were ignorant, and the imperial court was also a frog at the bottom of the well. After the appearance of the small train, the people of the capital regarded the train as a monster and a bad omen, so they made a noise, causing the government and the opposition to shake. The Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the Yamen of the Infantry Army to be dismantled, so as to stop the boiling of the people, which became a big laughing stock at that time. In 1874, despite the opposition of the imperial court, the British forcibly built a railway in Wusong, Shanghai, with a total length of 14 or 5 kilometers, which was the first railway to operate. Later, the railway crushed people, causing public anger and resentment. ”

"In order to prevent popular rebellion, the imperial court negotiated with the British to redeem the railway, and then dismantle it all. The people were ignorant and the court was mediocre, and if the court had realized the great role of the railroad at that time, it would definitely be a different scene on the land of China today. Later, the Russians built the Eastern Railway in Northeast China, the French built the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway in Yunnan, the Jinghan Railway, including the Jiaoji Railway built by the Germans. Railways have greatly facilitated the intersection of logistics and the flow of people, and railways have proven to be essential for economic development. It is not too late to make amends, and at present, the imperial court began to build the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway last year, and an epoch-making railway construction in China has begun. ”

"Well said, you are young and have seen extraordinary!" Yan Jiakang calmed down and found a middle-aged man in a gray cloth coat and glasses cheering. "Mr. has talked about it, and the late life is just a feeling!" "What a feeling, if a young man is like a young person, why should I have no future in China!" "Sir is a scholar?" "Contemptible Xu Shixuan, who is the supervisor of Shandong University in Jinan, may I ask the young man Gui Geng?" "Mr. Xu, he is the president of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce in his later life!" "It's gratifying to take on this great responsibility at such a young age!"

Qiu Ying secretly wondered: I don't blush when I lie, how did I become the president of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce? Yan Jiakang and Xu Shixuan had a heated conversation, which was very speculative. After Xu Shixuan said goodbye, Qiu Ying sneered: "Ge Yunfei, this girl wants to know, when did you become the president of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce?" "Miss Qiu Ying thinks I'm lying? , to be honest, he is now the president of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, and this time he went to Qingdao to negotiate business with the Germans! "Miss Qiuying, what Brother Ge said is not wrong, I can testify!"

"Gongzi Ge, there are a lot of things that Fang Caishen can't understand, but we are willing to listen!" The maid Qiu Hua changed the subject. "Since you are willing to listen, I will simply show off again, and I will talk about the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway under construction, which is our own ??????。." When the train arrives at the head of the high-density locomotive, it needs to be replenished, and Qiu Ying and Qiu Hua get off the train for a tour. "Brother Ge, the two mountains can't go together, the two of them can always meet, and Miss Qiuying is going to Qingdao to relax. She's obviously Xiao Xiao, and you've hurt her a lot! ”

"How do you speak, did I hurt him?" "Brother Ge, although Miss Qiuying is not noisy or noisy, according to my observation, she is not dead, maybe she will change from love to hate in the future!" "This is what I'm worried about, in fact, Miss Qiuying is a good person, a kind-hearted and bold woman, if there is no Mo Xin, maybe I ????????。" "Brother Ge,!" If Qiuying is willing to be small, you can consider it? Yan Jiakang was a little confused, "Don't take the joke seriously!" "I understand what you mean, those who achieve great things are not informal, but those who achieve great things must behave well."

Yan Jiakang knew in his heart that Shan Feng and other chivalrous and courageous people were not clear about their true "ambitions", and he regarded himself as a backer for the sake of a way out in the future. On the contrary, it is impossible for Yan Jiayasu to tell him his true thoughts, but to use the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, so that he or they are consciously or unconsciously tied to their chariots. It is not ripe to talk to them about the danger of the nation, etc. Interests plus loyalty are the minimum criteria for controlling people in this era.

Qingdao City is in sight, and it is late at night when the train arrives in Qingdao. Standing on the empty platform, Qiu Ying and Qiu Hua looked helpless, with panicked expressions on their faces. "Miss Qiuying, I want to know who you are looking for in Qingdao?" "My uncle, he opened a restaurant on Fumin Road in the old city." "Alright, I'll send you there!" "How great a favor it seems that you shouldn't send us?" "Yes! Should! Clear on board! ”
