"So that Huang Ama learned that this is the case, today Dai Zi and Dai came to invite, saying that the branch of the Academy of Sciences in Yanqing Prefecture has built a steam locomotive, and invited the ministers to watch the ceremony. -”

Emperor Chengde's mind is not difficult to guess, he is just worried that he Hongqing will play a trick of cultivating the plank road in the dark, although Hongqing knows it very well, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, so he just explained it honestly.

"Steam locomotives? What is this? ”

Emperor Chengde has always been indifferent to the affairs of the Academy of Sciences, all he knows is that the annual income of the Ministry of Industry has increased dramatically, in addition, he also knows how to 'spend' money, as for the latest achievements of the Academy of Sciences, he has never paid attention to it, at this time I heard Hongqing talk about the steam locomotive, I couldn't help but be at a loss, frowned and thought about it, or I didn't have a clue, and I had to ask a question with great doubt.

"Back to the Emperor Ama's words, this is a kind of load tool, which can drag a large number of goods on the preset rails to run, if it is a technical forming, then each locomotive can drag more than a dozen huge carriages, the total load is said to be as much as 100,000 catties, the speed can be as fast as more than 100 miles per hour, both passenger transport, can also carry goods, if it can be laid on a large scale, then the moat can be changed to the road, the good thing of the country and the people, the son of the minister is to verify whether the invention of the Academy of Sciences is practical, if so, it can be of great use."

Hongqing knew that Emperor Chengde was a layman in science and technology, and he would not elaborate on those professional terms, so he just used an easy-to-understand vernacular to briefly introduce the use of steam locomotives.

"Oh? It's so magical, it's a rare thing, since Qing'er wants to go, then let's go and see it. ”

Emperor Chengde's mind is not on the novelty inventions of the Ministry of Industry now, a 'door' mind only thinks about collecting power, Rao is Hongqing's tirade that he said well, but Emperor Chengde didn't hear it at all, but thought that Hongqing's departure from Beijing at this time was convenient for him to lay out and win Geng Sanbiao.

"Thank you Emperor Amalon, your sons and daughters will retire."

Seeing that Emperor Chengde was not interested, Hongqing didn't bother to say more, bowed down, and resigned.

"Well, let's go."

Since things have changed, Emperor Chengde's mind has already shifted to changing the layout, and he doesn't want to stay with Hongqing any longer, so he waved his hand and approved Hongqing's resignation.

"Someone!"

Hongqing had just withdrawn from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Emperor Chengde was already Huo Ran stood up, and his face was red and his throat was broken.

"The minions are here."

Hearing Emperor Chengde's call, Li Dequan, who was waiting by the palace, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly snatched it out from the side, and responded respectfully.

"Go, pass Li Minquan to me!"

Emperor Chengde glanced at Li Dequan, and gave an order in a slightly cold voice.

"Wow!"

Emperor Chengde opened the golden mouth, how dare Li Dequan delay a little, respectfully responded, hurriedly withdrew from the main hall, and went to the military aircraft to summon Li Minquan without mentioning it......

Yanqing Prefecture, located in the northwest corner of Beijing, as early as the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there are ancestors who live here, to the 'spring' autumn, the city has been built, belongs to the Yan Kingdom, Yanqing Prefecture is set up in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty follows, the terrain in the state is relatively complex, there are both plains, there are mountainous areas, there is no lack of streams, lakes, the famous Badaling is located in the north of the state, and the Yanqing Branch of the Qing Academy of Sciences is located not far from the Badaling town under the Badaling.

Badaling Town is very small, there are only three or five horizontal alleys on a main street, the population is only a pitiful hundreds, most of them make a living from farming, in the past, except for the occasional merchant who comes here, few tourists come here, business travel is extinct, life here can be described as quiet and peaceful, but now the Badaling Town is a faction of deep guards, all the strategic places in the town are full of sentry posts, a team of Qing officers and soldiers armed to the teeth closely monitor the movement in all directions, there is no other, It's just that Prince Ren Hongqing's big car is about to arrive at the Yanqing branch of the Academy of Sciences outside the town.

"Look, it's coming, it's coming!"

"Quick, get ready to ride!"

"Solo, play fun!"

……

At three o'clock, a long line of carriages galloped from the east avenue, and the crowd that had been waiting outside the Yanqing branch of the Academy of Sciences for a long time immediately became 'commotion', and Zhizhou Deyintai, who had arrived here with the central officials of the state early in the morning, was even more 'excited' and trembled, and his shouting words were obviously trembling.

"Xiaguan and others will knock to see the prince!"

The galloping convoy finally slowly stopped not far from the crowd, and several of the palace 'attendants' hurriedly grabbed the side of a luxury carriage in the middle, rolled up the curtains, and then saw Hongqing Ha waist turned out of the carriage.

"It's all gone."

Hongqing actually doesn't like this kind of scene of raising teachers to welcome the people, but this is the rule of the court - as a prince, once out of the patrol place, the officials of the place must come to greet them, otherwise, it is a violation, the light will lose the official, the heavy, if it is not good, you have to lose your head, even if Hongqing does not like this kind of labor and money, but it can't break this example, in the face of the officials who are kneeling all over the place, Hongqing can only make a look of relief, with a smile on his face, he raised his hand with a smile, and called out very kindly.

"Thank you, Lord Longen!"

Since Hongqing called out, thanksgiving is the proper meaning of the question, but there is nothing to say.

"Lord Wang, you are here, I am very encouraged from top to bottom in Yanzhou, the lower officials and others have prepared a courtyard in Badaling Town, and please go into the town to rest for a while, okay?"

As soon as everyone thanked the entitlement, Deyintai, who was the landlord, had already hurriedly rushed forward, and said with a smile on his face.

"Lao De doesn't need to be open, this king is invited by the Academy of Sciences this time, so there is no need to disturb the place, and then it is a good place to appease."

Although Deyintai's official position is humble, but Hongqing still gives him some face, there is nothing else, just because he is a slave under the old sixteen 'doors', and he has to look at the face of the Buddha if he doesn't look at the monk's face, right?

"Don't worry, the lower officials have arranged to stop early yesterday morning, and martial law has been imposed for ten miles along the line, so there will be no mistake in the major events of the Academy of Sciences."

Seeing Hongqing so kind and gentle, Deyintai's mood was very 'excited', and he hurriedly made a promise.

"Well, that's good."

Hongqing was anxious to watch the test run of the steam locomotive, but he had no intention of chatting with Deyin Taiduo, and after nodding his head, he was immediately surrounded by Dai Zi and other accompanying officials and walked towards the people of the Academy of Sciences who lined up behind.

"Lord Wang, this is my Yanqing branch member Zhang Shuwu."

When he arrived in front of the queue of the Academy of Sciences, Dai Zi, who was following behind Hongqing, hurriedly took half a step forward and introduced the person in charge of the Yanqing branch to Hongqing.

"The lower official knocks on the prince."

As soon as Dai Zi's voice fell, Zhang Shuwu already knelt on the ground, and his words were choked up and bowed.

"Excuse me, excuse me, Bo Rong (Zhang Shuwu's word), time flies, I haven't seen you for five years, hehe, I never thought that you had been promoted to a foreign officer, okay, okay."

Without waiting for Zhang Shuwu to finish his ceremony, Hongqing had already stepped forward, and reached out to help him up kindly, with a face full of relief. Lust sighed, there is no other, Zhang Shuwu is an orphanage in Xiaoskewer Hutong, since he was a teenager into the Ministry of Engineering Research Institute to study, ten years ago when the establishment of the steam locomotive research group, he is one of the elders, after the head of Hongqing was called to the ear to mention the concept and principle of the steam locomotive, speaking of which, it is also Hongqing's henchman in the Academy of Sciences, but Hongqing is busy with military affairs, no time to take care of the research and development of steam locomotives, since he has never met with him again, and now meet again, he is already the head of the Yanqing Branch of the Academy of Sciences, this kind of interest is so happy that Hongqing is happy。

"The lower officials can have today, all thanks to the cultivation of the prince, your great kindness, the lower officials will never dare or forget."

Zhang Shuwu was originally a Henan Lanyi people, when the flood in Henan, the family suffered, the whole family was in the water, only he was alone, helpless, almost starved to death on the way to escape, fortunately the "sharp knife" Kaifeng rudder to collect the orphans, only to get lucky, speaking of which, Hongqing is its benefactor, after many years, met again, its mood of "excited" and "swinging" is inevitable.

"Well, this sycophant is good, this king will be used, hahaha......, okay, don't talk nonsense, and take this king to see your epoch-making steam locomotive."

Hongqing was in a good mood, so he spoke casually, and laughed and teased Zhang Shuwu.

"Lord Wang, please wait, the next official will go and arrange one or two."

Hearing Hongqing's order, Zhang Shuwu didn't dare to slack off, respectfully asked, and after Hongqing nodded his head, he led a few of his subordinates to hurriedly run into a huge shed on the left side of the Academy of Sciences.

"Woo......"

Not long after Zhang Shuwu went, he heard a loud whistle burst out, a tall and mighty steam locomotive had two carriages hanging slowly along the tracks, and all the people who saw such a behemoth for the first time were all shocked and shocked, even if Hongqing, who already knew what was going on with the steam locomotive, was already "excited" and "flushed" red, there is no other, the appearance of such a four-wheel drive steam locomotive is extremely close to the general type of later generations, if it is practical' If it can also be guaranteed, the Qing Dynasty will embark on the fast track of rapid development.

"Qi Qi Wang, the steam locomotive of our institute has been successfully developed, according to theoretical calculations, the fastest speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour, the maximum load is 180 tons, and the full load speed is about 33 kilometers per hour.

As soon as the locomotive stopped, Zhang Shuwu had already jumped down from the side 'door' of the front of the locomotive, strode in front of Hongqing, and asked for a word in a loud voice.

"Okay, this king will personally inspect it, and you will get in the car with this king!"

Although the steam locomotive is far from being clean up and down, and the front of the locomotive is not small, but Hongqing didn't care at all, but seeing that he waved his hand neatly, he already commanded with pride.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is ......"

As soon as he heard that Hongqing was going to get into the car to inspect it in person, Dai Zike was a little breathless, and hurriedly flashed out from the side, and whispered to stop it, afraid that Hongqing would have an accident.

"It's okay, Bo Rong came with this king, and the rest of the people waited and watched the ceremony on the spot."

Before Dai Zi finished speaking, Hongqing had already waved his hand and made the final decision with an unquestionable 'kiss'.

"Wow!"

Hongqing had already said it to such an extent, Dai Zizi was not good at persuading again, and Zhang Shuwu was very excited to respond loudly, bowed slightly and let Hongqing to the locomotive, and carefully served Hongqing on the front of the locomotive, which was not very spacious. "Woo woo ......" suddenly, a deafening 'desire' whistle sounded, the steadily stopped steam locomotive began to start slowly, the speed became faster and faster, and after a short time it was already galloping along the erected rails, and Hongqing's heart also flew up......--5aahhh+25723483-->
