"Sister, that's ...... Not quite right? ”

When Miao Zhongxian began to get busy with a group of officials from Xuzhou, Emperor Ande said to Mao De with some hesitation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's the bad thing, before Genyue was burned, on the railway train lane, didn't our sisters often ride and play, this is just a slightly faster train, but it's strange that there is no need for horses to pull it...... Sister, you must know that in Beijing, you can't see such a car! ”

Maude persuaded him like this, but he had something else in mind.

The true intention of this eastward trip, Ander and she both know it. They are shouldering the heavy responsibility of restraining Zhou Quan, and before they know it, the boy who taught them checkers has grown up to the point that the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty has to use the princess to appease them.

However, neither of them contradicted this matter in their hearts.

The status of the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty is not too high, most of them are married to the children of important ministers in the court, and the political meaning is originally strong. Those horses have no skills, but they rely on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors, and live very well.

Zhou Quan is different.

In terms of merit, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, few people can compare with him; On wealth, rich is an adjective designed specifically for him; In terms of appearance, he is so handsome that he can take away the heart of any young girl; In terms of temperament, just by the gadgets he sends into the palace from time to time, you know that he is a considerate character.

It can be said that this is a very perfect marriage partner, if there is any shortcoming, it is that he has kidnapped a princess of Liao.

This is a matter widely criticized by Zhou Quan, but it is precisely this incident that makes the two Great Song Emperors a little relieved: if they don't even have this flaw, they also have to wonder if Zhou Quan is a fairy and a couple of women in the world.

They didn't have to wait long, and Zhao Gou came to tell them that they had arrived at the place.

Their own guard of honor opened the curtain to separate the two, and when they got out of the carriage and moved their hands and feet, they noticed this special building in front of them.

There are five big characters of "Xuzhou Railway Station" above, and the strokes are vertical and horizontal, but the words are really not good. Emperor Ande pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered to Maode: "This is the train station, I heard that the Jingshi is also going to be built, but the name of the Jingshi train station must be the handiwork of the father." ”

"These five words are the inscription of the Donghai County Office." Mao De was careful, and when he saw the three words "Zhou Quan's title" behind the big characters, he reminded him in a low voice.

An De is the daughter of Empress Zheng, with a high status in the palace, and after seeing it, he pursed his lips and smiled, but said in his heart: "This Donghai County Duke is good at everything else, but he is not good at reading and not learning enough, so he can write ...... It can only be said that it is average. ”

Mao De didn't think so, she moved her fingers lightly, secretly copied Zhou Quan's words a few times, and understood in her heart that this Donghai County Duke was a person who didn't like to be restrained and did things casually.

As they entered the station, the train between Xuzhou and Diqiu had been open for a long time, and thousands of people traveled between the two cities every day. It's just that Zhao Gou came to take the car today, and the idle people have been separated, and they entered the waiting hall very smoothly.

Since someone had done the boarding procedure for them, the two emperors were taken aback when they walked through the corridor and came to the front of the train.

They had ridden there in the Gendake, the six carriages of horse-drawn carriages, but for royal entertainment. But the train in front of them was a huge steam locomotive, pulling eighteen carriages, each larger than the one they had ridden in Genyue.

"It's so long!"

"So big!"

The two said it almost in unison, and then looked at each other, both feeling a little out of shape.

A round-faced and slightly chubby girl came over from the side and saluted the two: "Slave to meet the two emperors, the two Jin'an." ”

This girl was wearing a very strange uniform, and a big-brimmed hat on her head, although she saluted the two, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and it seemed that she was not facing the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, but just a girl from an ordinary rich and noble family.

"Are you ......" Ander asked, looking up and down as he liked her uniform.

The girl pointed to a wooden sign on her chest, and said with a smile: "The slave's name is Wen Yun, number 9527, it is the crew of this train, and it is specially for the two of you, please come with the slave." ”

She made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way, and Ander and Maud glanced at each other, both of them quite curious.

Not only them, but also Zhao Gou, who had taken a train from Xuzhou to Diqiu, also felt very novel.

At this time, men and women are still in trouble, so the men and women on the train are in the same car but different compartments, the two princesses were led to the front of a female VIP compartment, looking at even the windows are made of glass, and the furnishings in the compartment are also comfortable and gorgeous, and there is even a long couch for people to rest, the two princesses who have been running all the way almost at the same time groaned: "If it is from Beijing to Xuzhou, there is such a car, it would be good!" ”

"If the Beijing-Xuzhou Railway can be completed, there will be such a car, from Beijing to Xuzhou, five hours can arrive, if the two highnesses leave at night, sleep on the couch for a night, and the next morning can arrive." That Wen Yun said with a smile.

Then she told the two of them about the various furnishings in the VIP room, in fact, even if it was a VIP room, its space was not large, only eight long couches could be placed, plus sixteen brocade stools, it was still slightly crowded. But compared to the carriage, it was much better, and the two emperors couldn't help but touch and sit there, and then they all crowded around the window on the side of the train, looking out.

At this time, Zhao Gou's honor guard had already gotten on the bus, and they themselves naturally took the VIP compartment, but most of them were still squeezed into the ordinary compartment behind. Two carriages were dedicated to entertaining them, and immediately after the station that had been closed was opened, the crowd poured in, and the two princesses saw hundreds of people hurrying to get on board.

"These people are all in the same car with us, can they move?" The two couldn't help but be a little worried, this trip could pull nearly 500 people.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this steam locomotive has been improved twice, full of power, we have tried, even if it pulls five hundred people, plus hundreds of thousands of catties of goods, it can also move." Wen Yun said with a smile.

This kind of steam locomotive, which was named "Tianxingjian" by Zhou Quan, was not inferior to the Voyager in the original history, so Wen Yun dared to say such a thing.

Hearing her say this, Ander and Maud looked at each other again, and their hearts were suspicious.

Fortunately, they will soon be able to see with their own eyes whether it is true or not.

With the sound of a whistle, the iron bell in the station rang properly, and then they felt their bodies shake hard, followed by a second and a third blow, and the scenery outside the glass window began to slowly recede.

"It's moving, it's moving, it's really moving!"

Both of them are actually not young, but they still exclaimed at this moment.

For them, the train driven by the steam engine is really a new experience, watching the scenery on both sides of the road move back rapidly, they were in a daze for a long time, and then came back to their senses.

Of course, along the way, in addition to Wen Yun's explanation, the scenery on the side of the road, and a slight discomfort of motion sickness. Fortunately, Wen Yun was prepared and provided them with pills to relieve the symptoms of motion sickness.

They were also chatting, knowing that this Wen Yun was learned by the girls in the Longchuan Academy, and asked some of the courses set up in the girls' school, the two princesses were very curious, and at the same time, they also regarded the Longchuan Academy as one of the places that Diqiu must go to on this trip.

As Wen Yun said, when the clock hand in the carriage moved more than a square, they arrived at Diqiu.

Because it was decided to come by train temporarily, there was no one to greet them at the station, but when the guard of honor was sorted out, Zhao Gou and the two princesses also calmed down from the vibration of the train, and now Zhao Butry, the governor of Liguo, arrived in a hurry.

First, he asked for the guilt and did not greet him, and then he blamed Miao Zhongxian, the governor of Xuzhou, who should not let the prince and princess experience new things such as the train, and then he counted Zhou Quan, thinking that Zhou Quan did not stay in Xuzhou to see the prince, but ran back to Diqiu, which really shouldn't be. When Zhao Gou came back to Diqiu, he had seen this prefect from the clan, and knew that although this person was not very old, he was just a man of honor, and when he saw him again today, he felt that it was indeed the case.

But immediately, Zhao Buchu's words surprised him: "However, after His Royal Highness personally experiences the train, when he returns to Beijing, he can strongly recommend this thing to the imperial court, this thing is conducive to military affairs, and it must be promoted!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, didn't he object to taking the train just now!

After talking to Zhao Butry again, Zhao Gou's gaze became more and more strange.

From the beginning, this Zhao Butry has changed a lot!

At the beginning, he was just a keeper, and he was able to not conflict with Zhou Quan head-on but limit Zhou Quan's influence in Diqiu, this is what the imperial court expected of him, but in just a few years, Zhao Butry stayed in Diqiu, what he heard and saw was all new things, and these things were of great help to increase the country's taxes and strengthen the country's military strength, how could this not make him think deeply?

People are always changing.

Zhao Butry, who came here with a heavy responsibility, was also affected by the surrounding environment while completing his task, and began to consider how much wealth and power he could bring to the Great Song Dynasty if he could promote Diqiu's various skills to the entire Great Song Dynasty.

"It's really amazing, even if he complains that Zhou Quan is not acting well, but in fact, he already admires Zhou Quan very much...... This is the most loyal to the children of the Great Song Dynasty, he is like this, as for others, you can imagine! ”

Zhao Gou had this thought in his heart, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, but he was helpless.

Mo said that Zhao didn't try, it was himself, after comparing Jingshi and Diqiu, he couldn't help but feel that Diqiu was better.

Jingshi seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is a pool of stagnant water, fighting every day, it is just eating and pulling out the feces and then eating it again, where is it comparable to Diqiu, even if Zhou Quan himself does not often stay in Diqiu, but the system formed for a long time naturally has a kind of inertia, which drives Diqiu to move forward and develop, and even those who come from other places to enter Diqiu are involuntarily involved.

Just when Zhao Gou had mixed feelings, Zhao Butry accompanied him and finally arrived at the destination of the trip.
