Chapter 769 - The Art of Speechlessness
Today, there are 12 trains and 15 freight cars on the railway every day. And some people are just curious, want to have an addiction to taking the train. In addition, the railway from Chang'an to Fufeng County is almost complete, and the railway from Chang'an to Tongguan has been opened before New Year's Day this year.
The railway from Tongguan to Hongnong County and even Changping. Prepare for the future Chinese Empire's rail and road transportation to connect its borders.
But Chang'an to Tongguan, a total length of 300 miles, only need an hour, can arrive, and now, from Chengdu to the north of the railway industry has been repaired to Zitong County, and from Chang'an to Hanzhong this section has been completed, and from Hanzhong to Guangyuan this section, has been completed most of the half.
In addition, from Bashu's Zitong to Guangyuan, this section of nearly 300 miles of difficult mountain road is still in the difficult advance, most of the tunnels have been close to penetrating, but the longest tunnels, so far only completed less than half of the workload, is expected to take at least a year and a half to be able to fully open.
At the beginning, the common people were more curious about the railway, but now, with the convenience brought by the railway to transportation, people are more and more fond of this kind of rumbling but fast running iron Jiao.
Well, in the mouths of the common people, this thing is called Tiejiao, but it is really quite vivid. The iron-brown color, long and winding like a snake, is as fast as lightning when it rushes on the road, and the roar is like thunder, which is indeed very vivid.
On this day of rest after New Year's Day, my son's Weifu took Yaoguang, Qingxia, his mother and the children at home, as well as the daughter-in-law of the fifth child and my nephew's eldest grandson Cheng, who also came to a heavily guarded station in the south of Chang'an Railway Station. Guarded by the Praetorian Guards and Garrison, this small station houses the bow of a steam locomotive of the latest model and ten carriages.
Among the ten carriages, there are three guard carriages, one storeroom, one kitchen, one dining room, two bedrooms, and one living room. Looking at the exquisite interior decoration and the bright windows, even the mother couldn't help but be amazed. "It's really good, I'm afraid it's more comfortable than a hotel."
"Of course, this is designed by the child himself, just to be able to facilitate your mother's kiss, where you want to go to visit wèn in the future, you can sit here, which is convenient and relaxed, and the sound insulation of these carriages is excellent." This son said proudly.
"Young old body, when the old body has never seen a train, right?" My mother gave me a white look, but I could see that she was in a pretty good mood. "What's the good thing about making people panic?"
"Mother, the child didn't lie to you, you look at this window, but they are all double-layered, and in the mezzanine of this carriage, they are all stuffed with soundproof cotton, and in addition, under the carriage, more shock-absorbing springs are added. Anyway, you see, it's not going to be anywhere. Mother, sit here, take off your outer drape, otherwise it will be hot in a while. Ben Gongzi ran eagerly and patted the horse's ass.
The eldest girl and the second girl were not stable when they ran in the carriage, and the two nurses were scared to follow closely, for fear that the two little ancestors would fall. And Tie Dan, who is more than a year old and less than two gangs, also wants to play with the two naughty sisters, but the problem is that they are still unstable and can only crawl around on the sofa.
"Okay, okay, you kid don't keep going around me, go and see if there's anything left undone, go and clean up." After sitting down, the mother held Zicheng in Wu's hand in her arms, and the iron head and the iron head kept screaming, well, my son's nickname is Tiedan, and the nickname of the fifth Wuyi son's name is Tietou.
When I don't have a baby again, I really don't know if I should call it an iron chest or something, I have a headache. However, it seems that under the deliberate flattery of this son during this time, it finally made the mother's mood much better.
By yesterday, the business had been disposed of, so there were only a few days of vacation left, and I decided to take my mother and relatives to Yan'an and Tongguan by train. My two daughters have been clamoring to come and sit for a long time, but there was no time in the past, but now that they have time, it is only right to pull the family to relax their hearts.
After the two hundred janissaries in the three carriages had boarded the train, the train finally sounded its whistle and began to move slowly forward. It has to be said that the effect of the sound insulation layer, which has been strictly thickened, is quite large.
Anyway, in the car, the sound of clanging is at least half smaller than that of an ordinary train. People whispered and chatted in the carriage without being disturbed at all. The mother hugged the little iron head, and muttered to my mother-in-law Yaoguang who didn't know what to say, and next to her, Qingxia and Wu gathered together and whispered to communicate.
As for me, after seeing that they had their own things, I patted my butt and sat on the sofa on the side, sipping grapes while enjoying this picture of warm family affection. I am very happy, the loneliness and helplessness before the crossing have been left out of the clouds, and now I can be said to be old, and I am enough.
The train swayed slightly, like a warm and safe cradle, mixed with the laughter of children and the gentle voices of women in a rhythmic low rumble. Outside the window, the trees flickered in the darkness, and in the distance, the moonlight dispersed, wrapping the earth and mountains covered under the heavy snow with a white and crystal silver glow, revealing a quiet and heavy natural beauty.
Sister Yaoguang leaned on my arms, looked at the moonlight, mountains, and silver snowfields outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh softly. "What a beautiful ......"
"Yes, the beauty of nature is no less beautiful than the works of art that humans have built and designed." I nodded, when I was a child, my dream was to grow up to be a painter and leave the beauty of the world in my brush.
But when I grew up, although I still envy the art of painting, I feel that the art circle is really speechless to the extreme, and people squat in the pig's nest while eating and sleeping with the pigs and calling art. OOXX on the street is also called art, and taking a toilet and placing it in the showroom is also called art. Damn, that boy took a piece of Xiang and put it in the crystal coffin, took a pen name for a special literary fan, and then left his hair long and permed a curly hair, and found two Internet promoters to flicker around, maybe our piece of Xiang can be worth more than Van Gogh's paintings.
Inside the carriage, the rumbling of the train seemed so light, like the hypnotic drumbeat, gently beating, accompanying people to sleep.
That night, I rested on the train, and arrived in Yan'an late at night, but we were asleep at that time, so how could we get up in the middle of the night. So I slept until the early morning of the next day, and got off the train refreshed. Under the escort of the Praetorian Guards, he came to the village of Kangsarili located outside the city of Fushi.
Here, naturally, Kang Yanli himself took the initiative to dedicate it to his son as a palace, not to mention, when he heard that I was going to agree to live in his village, Kang Yanli was so excited that he was about to cry. It is an absolute honor for him, a new foreign minister who has recently defected to me, and it also represents the selfless trust that I, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, have in him.
After receiving the news that I was going to travel here for the Chinese New Year, this guy renovated his own farm. The glass flower house in the courtyard was doubled in size, so that the two little princesses could have a messy space in the courtyard in winter.
It's a little colder here than in Chang'an, but to be honest, Ben Gongzi and his two daughters really had a good time, either taking them to sleigh, or taking them to the wild to hunt small animals, or to settle in to catch birds.
I had a lot of fun, and even my mother's spirit became much better, and I went to the wild snowfield with us to enjoy the spring of the northern country.
After seven days, I reluctantly boarded the train back to Chang'an, but I promised my daughters and mother-in-law that I would take them to other places to have fun when they had their annual leave next year. In the future, if the railway to Cochin is built, when the time comes, when the time comes, go to Cochin to swim in the sea, and drink iced sour plum soup, it is really a great enjoyment.
Speaking of which, today's Jiaozhi has been renovated, and all the densely populated areas such as towns are no longer like in the past, and the street crossings are full of human urine and horse manure, but have been transformed in the way of Chang'an.
Sewers and public toilets are readily available, and the other is to vigorously publicize the disease caused by raw water, which has improved the living and hygiene habits of the local people, and similarly, the incidence of various diseases has been greatly reduced.
In addition, in the paddy fields in the Cochin area, after the intensive cultivation of people, one acre of three crops a year, a yield of two stones, so that everyone is refreshed, so far, the Cochin area and most of the Cham production of more than 18 million stones, this amount, absolutely jaw-dropping, after all, there are only two counties, but can be so high-yielding, I have to say that the most important thing is to benefit the local climate.
And now, Funan is already a tiger riding a difficult trend, when he helped Cham before, he just wanted to be able to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the most important thing was that the Chinese Empire would retreat after coming here to show off his might.
But I didn't expect that there would be a speechless situation, a large number of immigrants from the Chinese Empire came here, looking like they were going to take root completely, and the other was the Great Construction Academy. All the people under the rule of Jiaozhi and Cham must know Chinese and be able to write Chinese characters.
In addition, Cheng Yanjin squatted here, not moving at all, neither retreating nor attacking, unless the army of Funan went to attack, he would roll his eyelids, and then, the result of the war would always be the defeat of the combined forces of Funan and Cham.
No matter how hard the lord of Funan racked his brains, he couldn't drive Cheng Yanjin away, and after that, Funan sent an envoy to Chang'an to sue for peace. For the peace of Funan, this son will naturally never agree.
