Chapter 37 The opening of the railway
When the huge locomotive roars by, like a steel beast galloping on the empty land, the white exhaust fumes from burning diesel fuel inject a strong postmodern style into this era.
The wheels hit the seams of the rails, making a burst of clanging bells, and the people who stood on the platform and watched from a distance were all shocked by this steel monster.....

Sitting on a leather sofa, listening to the regular impact of the railroad tracks, Jiang Yin leaned on the recliner, his eyes stayed on the various scenery whistling by outside the window, and the train he took made him feel like he was back in his childhood and took the train in the nineties.
"Jiang Shao, once the Cangqing Railway is opened, the trade between Cangzhou and Qingzhou can be expected to grow into a blowout, Qingzhou has just been liberated, some remote townships and counties are still in the development period, once there is a train, presumably Qingzhou will enter a period of great development." Cai Changyi sat opposite Jiang Yin, holding a pen and drawing something on the table in front of him.
"Our next plan, we can start to expand Qingzhou City, at least there must be a plan to start building our second large city base, although the foundation of Qingzhou is not as good as Cangzhou, but from the example of Cangzhou we can easily find that as long as we bring enough materials from the future, the development of the city is absolutely not a problem." The more Cai Changyi spoke, the more excited he became, he took his gold-wire glasses, "Once Cangzhou City and Qingzhou City are built, we will start to build Dezhou City, and the three cities will form a horn trend, which can be attacked and defended, it is simply a solid iron triangle, and then the three states will build a railway between each other to achieve high-speed operation, and Dizhou in the middle will be used as the base camp for follow-up development." ”
After listening to Cai Changyi's introduction quietly, Jiang Yin nodded a little absentmindedly and said: "What Lao Cai said is very reasonable, and it is also very feasible, so let's do it later, take Cangzhou as a treaty port, our goal is ultimately to turn to the interior of the Central Plains, the plan of the three-state linkage, and then arrange a specific operating procedure, the railway must be repaired, and this thing plays a huge role in the development of commerce and people's livelihood." ”
"Okay, by the way, Jiang Shao, the train has been running for a while, do you want to go to the front carriage to meet those officials in the court?" Lin Yue sat on the chair next to Jiang Yin and suddenly asked as if he remembered something.
Jiang Yin shook his head, "Forget it, many of them are taking the train for the first time, if I go over, they will definitely not be able to let go, let them experience the experience of the car, I just sit here, you go to the front and tell them that I am a little too drunk to drink in the back, and they have fun by themselves." ”
"Yes." After listening to Jiang Yin's words, Lin Yue got up and walked towards the front carriage....

The scenery on both sides of the car window roared all the way backwards, Wang Sizong cautiously put his head out of the car window, and the wind instantly blew his long hair scattered and messy, but Wang Sizong still tried to open his eyes, he wanted to see everything clearly with his own eyes.
Just two years ago, even in a dream, he would never have imagined that there was such a thing as a train in this world!
Traveling thousands of miles a day, moving like a virgin and quiet like a rabbit, the most important thing is that this thing is a huge castle like steel! Even the most complicated tricks in the world probably can't achieve such a thing, but now he is really sitting on it, talking and laughing with his colleagues!
"Xi Ruan, Your Majesty is worthy of being an overseas person, if you hadn't seen this strange thing with your own eyes, I'm afraid you wouldn't have believed that there was such an appalling magical thing in this world." Wang Xianqi picked up a wine glass and took a big sip of his own drink, "I think that when he was in Bianjing, His Majesty opened a shop called a department store in Bianjing, and at that time there were many extraordinary utensils in Bianjing. ”
Wang Sizong stretched his head back from the window, carefully arranged his hair and said: "That's true, Your Majesty's extraordinary means, not you can understand, at that time Taizong ordered us to wait on the way to Cangzhou, Your Majesty actually found an iron ox and flowing horse handed down by the ancestor in a mountain stream, called the Hummer, is also a strange thing that travels hundreds of miles a day, at that time in the lower and outer exploration for three days, it is impossible to find a little essential, only know that the Hummer does not need to eat grass, nor do not need to rest, only need a little gasoline every day to drive freely, it is also a great wonder. ”
Many officials heard the dialogue between Wang Xianqi and Wang Sizong, and they all joined in the sigh of Jiang Yin's miraculous deeds, the superiority of people in the twentieth century completely crushed the cognition of these ancients at this time, and all kinds of goods brought by Jiang Yin from later generations have also become magical things in their mouths.
High-yield crops, muskets and artillery, mechanized city construction teams, etc., from agriculture, military, people's livelihood, etc., they found that almost all of the things worth showing off in the New Song Kingdom were brought to them by Jiang Yin.
"With Your Majesty here, it is really the blessing of my new Song Dynasty, the blessing of the world, gentlemen, drink!" Wang Xianqi stood up, raised the wine glass in front of the table, and said to the officials, he was born in the army, and he had a military style in every line and every movement.
"This cup is for Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty for your Majesty!" Wang Sizong was not willing to be lonely, and raised his glass to invite the wine.
"Drink!"
"This cup respects Fang Cheng's general, the construction of the railway, a famous thing for the ages!"
"Drink...."
......
When Jiang Yin went to the front carriage accompanied by Cai Changyi, he found that everyone in the front carriage was actually drunk, these officials didn't know what happy things they talked about, and they actually drank a lot of wine, the key is that they didn't drink the wine produced in the Great Song Dynasty, but the liquor that Jiang Yin brought from later generations, fortunately, Jiang Yin was afraid that these ancient people would not be able to adapt to the problem of drinking high liquor, so he ordered people to mix a lot of water in the liquor.
In retrospect, it was a pretty sensible choice.
"Ahem, Zhong Aiqing, the next stop is the terminal Qingzhou City, my new Song Kingdom is about to build a big city near Qingzhou City, Zhong Aiqing will tidy up, and then go to Qingzhou City with me to take a look, this big city, how should I build my new Song Kingdom, I will go back today and ask one of you to write an excerpt of the proposal and submit it, if there is a good suggestion, I will be reward.....ed."
