waited for Zhang Jian for a few more days, until Zhang Jian arranged the manpower, and then followed Yang Chao back to Shandong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Jian sent his proud disciple Jiang Daomin to go to Shandong with Yang Chao first.

Jiang Daomin once studied in Chongming Yingzhou Academy and Jiangning Wenzheng Academy, and during his study, Zhang Jian happened to be the chief of the two academies, so Zhang Jian became Jiang Daomin's mentor, and later Jiang Daomin studied surveying and mapping in the Liangjiang Army School, and after graduation, he went to Zhang Jian to help open up the wasteland and survey.

This time, he went to Shandong in advance, which was to carry out surveying and mapping work first, select the factory site, and so on.

"The conditions are simple, don't dislike it!"

Jiang Daomin and more than ten people with him were first taken to Yantai to disembark, and then they were transferred to the big stone house and arranged for them to live in it.

The big stone house is indeed very simple, and the house inside is a stone cave to put it bluntly, because the whole thing is one, there are only four doors in and out of the big stone house, and there are very small windows on the stone wall, which looks more like a prison than a residence.

The big stone house is circular, enter the inside through the corridor, the first thing you see is a large circular field, and then there is a circle of houses attached to the circular open space, in fact, it is close to the wall that there is a house, if you build a house in the middle, you can't open the window.

But Jiang Daomin and these people were amazed, they were all people with Western-style education, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this house that was a whole stone no matter how they looked at it, but they were not familiar with Yang Chao, and they didn't dare to ask, so they could only secretly guess how it was built.

Some people say that it is carved and chiseled with stone, some people say that it is impossible, the amount of work is too large, it should be piled up with stones, and then filled with foreign ash, and some should be poured with reinforced concrete as a whole by foreigners.

Let these people guess, Yang Chao didn't explain, after arranging their house, he told the soldiers who lived here to take care of each other, and then Yang Chao left.

Jiang Daomin and the others began to measure outward around the big stone house, and the first step was to climb directly to the roof of the big stone house, set up a surveying and mapping instrument to draw the terrain, and then expand outward.

Yang Chao rushed back to Yantai, because the railway from Weixian to Yantai was connected.

Surveying and mapping began before last year, and a team was formed at the beginning of this year, and it was opened to traffic in October.

In the middle, it was delayed for more than a month because of heavy rain, which made Yang Chao couldn't help but be shocked, you must know that the Germans' Jiaoji Railway has not been repaired to Weixian County at this time, and the technical strength of the Germans must be much stronger than Zhan Tianyou's team.

The reason why such rapid progress can be made is completely due to the strength of people, the spiritual will of people, working overtime day and night construction, and finally surpassing the Germans.

"I'm driving, I'm going to Yantai, looking for Lord Yang!"

Yang Chao's prestige was mainly in the disaster relief, these workers followed Yang Chao to help the disaster, and at that time they decided that Yang Chao was a good official.

Yang Chao recruited them to build the railway, and from time to time instilled in them the idea that if the railway was repaired, it would not only make the country strong and not be bullied by foreigners, but also make the people of Shandong live a better life.

In fact, these young people who come to build the railway are the most looking forward to it, because they are the poorest, otherwise they would not come to work on the construction site for free for a meal (Yang Chao said that these people came because they were patriotic), so they are even more looking forward to getting rich.

It is always easy for ordinary people to have confidence in good officials, although good officials may not necessarily be capable. However, the common people are paranoid that if a good official fails to do something, it must not be the fault of the good official, and there must be a traitorous official who is obstructing it. Therefore, today, seeing that the railway they participated in building with their own hands has merged, these young men seem to see their happy life.

Poverty is sometimes bad, because the foundation of your development is shallow, and you have to pay a greater price, but poverty also has benefits, that is, poor people have great motivation, and it is precisely because of poverty that they want to develop, and it is precisely because of poverty that they have the motivation for development, and from this point of view, poor countries have greater development potential.

From this writing, the young people who are desperately crowded into the car, and the young people who still show excitement and eagerness, can see their desire to change their fate.

But this is just a test car, basically a front car, plus a carriage, so it can't fit at all.

After the railroad was closed here, tens of thousands of workers were gathered, numbering as many as 50,000.

50,000 people, 50,000 free laborers, are all from Denglai Qingjiao three states of peasant children, of course, this is not much, compared to the three states of tens of millions of people is only a small part, Jinpu Road was built when 200,000 people were mobilized.

Of course, Jinpu Road is mobilized by the government, while Yang Chao here is the people's willingness. Of course, there is their slowly awakening patriotic enthusiasm, and part of the reason is that there is a full meal here, and the food is good. Yang Chao didn't pay them salaries, but he didn't save money either, and they had to have meat for every meal. Yang Chao insisted on heavy physical labor and if he did not replenish meat, it was easy to lose his body, so whether he was paid wages or not, he was given meat.

Yang Chao didn't know how many of the 50,000 people came for meat, but he preferred to believe that all of them were patriotic.

The whistle of the train sounded, and the workers who got into the car, stood on the roof of the car, and hung outside the car cheered loudly, while the workers who could not squeeze into the train lamented, and many people jumped and ran after the starting train, as if they were going to race against the train.

Zhan Tianyou and other engineers stood on the side of the road, everyone was very excited, especially Zhan Tianyou was already in tears.

Those who know know that he is happy, and those who don't know think that he is sad that he did not squeeze on the train.

When Yang Chao saw a locomotive full of people, he couldn't help but be startled, thinking that he had arrived in India.

After watching the train stop and no one fell, Yang Chao walked towards the train under the protection of several soldiers with rifles on their backs, and Yang Chao's soldiers now also have guns.

As soon as he jumped off the train, the workers standing at the Yantai Railway Station under construction were still a little nervous when they saw Yang Chao, and they didn't know whether to salute or not.

But soon they relaxed, because Yang Chao frequently waved to them and shouted, 'Brothers have worked hard'.

The workers shouted 'Lord Yang', and some people squeezed forward, being scolded by the black bull brutally.

Hei Niu also followed Yang Chao, because his son was born, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for him, this kid was very happy, and finally used his grandson to take his parents to the big stone house, and the grandson and the old couple didn't care about being kicked out of the house, of course, taking care of the grandson itself is a very powerful reason.

"Black Bull, you're polite!"

Yang Chao scolded the black cow while greeting the workers with a smile.

It's been a long wait.

"Why don't you see Zhan Tianyou?"

Yang Chao was a little strange, everyone came down, but the chief engineer was missing.

The black bull pulled a worker and asked, "What about Zhan Tianyou?" ”

The worker replied with some trepidation: "Master Zhan didn't squeeze into the car." ”

Yang Chao was stunned, he didn't think that Zhan Tianyou couldn't squeeze into the car, and no one in the Qing Dynasty, who had a strong sense of hierarchy, dared to grab a seat with Zhan Tianyou, I was afraid that he was unwilling to grab a parking space with a happy worker.

"Immediately set off and pick up Zhan Tianyou for me. Also, all the workers who want to come to Qingdao are picked up by me. This official is going to hold a celebration banquet for everyone today! ”
