Today's Machikou Village is very lively, the villagers are hiding from afar and looking at the huge railway locomotive, this thing has just been transported to give the villagers a shock, what is the use of such a big iron guy? This question has been hovering in the minds of the villagers, and it was not until a few days ago that the iron horse rumbled on the railway, and the villagers knew that it was a guy who could run. I heard that such a big iron guy is going to move again today.,The curiosity of the villagers attracted them.。

What makes the villagers feel that the most worthwhile thing is that there is a flower drum singing performance here early in the morning. The sound of the drums combined with the crisp throat made the faces of the villagers show a rare smile, and the honest smile was full of their simple joy.

Near the locomotive, hundreds of squires and a group of officials from the railway line surrounded the train, and Roth was explaining to the squires in long shirts and jackets. Many people are confused about the principle of locomotives, listening to these people simply looking around below to beat the time, a small number of knowledge-seeking squires are eager to ask questions. It seems that it is much better to explain to them with flower drum play.

Lin Hong withdrew his gaze from the group of squires who were mainly old men, and looked back at the old-fashioned locomotive lying quietly on the railroad tracks. His heart was full of reverie. This "Empire" locomotive really looks like the head of a tractor, with a large upward chimney in front of its long nose, the cab is ventilated on all sides, and the size of the iron roller grinding disc under the car is connected by several rotating shafts to ride on the rails, and the whole locomotive is black and swarthy and makes people feel very simple. There is also a long carriage hanging behind the locomotive ground. The windows are wooden and have a layer of vermilion lacquer. The seats inside are wooden hard benches, which look out of the window and are long and long, like two thick lines, from the front to the rear. In front of the bench is a wooden handrail of the same length. Since the seats are against the wall of the carriage, the middle part of the carriage appears to be a little empty. Can such an old-fashioned train reach 56 km/h? Lin Hong was a little suspicious of Luo Te's explanation.

"Husband, this is how ugly the train looks!" Liu Xiaoyu looked at the big black guy and said, although he is not married yet, Lin Hong insisted that Liu Xiaoyu call him husband.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or ugly, as long as it's easy to use." Lin Hong shamefully embezzled the theory of Grandpa Deng in later generations.

"Oh," Liu Xiaoyu said obediently while holding Lin Hong's hand.

After a while, Roth's interpreter said in front: "Please follow me into the carriage." After saying that, the interpreter led a group of squires to board the train. Lin Hong waited for the squires to get on the train, and also boarded the train with great interest. I walked into the door on a wooden ladder and looked into the car. The hundred squires still seemed more than enough to get on the train.

When everyone saw that the emperor had also gotten on the train, they all quickly stood up. The jagged gestures and shouts: "Your Majesty is blessed! ”

The people around Lin Hong hurriedly vacated a section of seats.

Lin Hong shook his arm and said: "You folks don't need to be polite, the ancients said that they have been cultivating for a hundred years to cross the same boat, and now I am traveling with you in the same car, which is also the fate of me and you, since the fate is here, you fathers and villagers don't need to be polite, just sit down." Although Lin Hong has his own special train, the Royal One, but at present, there is no railway in the north, and it still stops in the south.

After speaking, Lin Hong also sat down on the wooden bench. He looked down. Only then did the wooden bench appear to be iron-framed, and it looked quite sturdy.

Now that both sides of his own were empty, Lin Hongzhao beckoned to Roth and Lin Hongnian, the Minister of Industry, and let them sit beside him. Liu Xiaoyu has been sent back to the Summer Palace by Lin Hong, this kind of train environment is too bad, as a macho Lin Hong will never allow his women to suffer.

At this moment, a sharp whistle came from the position of the locomotive, and the train slammed.

Everyone in the carriage was unguarded. The sharp sound and the shaking of the car body scared people's faces like dirt. When the car stabilized again, some people wanted to get out of the car.

Lin Hong stood up at this time and said loudly: "You are all seven-foot men, don't you dare to taste the taste of taming the iron horse with me?" If it is a man, he will stay, and if he insists on leaving, I will not keep him, let him go. Lin Hong said that no one dared to leave, and the squires stayed in the carriage honestly, but some people clung to the handrails. A miserable look.

At that moment, the car shook again. Roth stood up and said, "The train is about to start." Please don't be afraid, we have tried many times before this trip, the train is very safe, but it is a little shaky when it travels, it doesn't matter, you just need to hold on to the handrail. ”

It didn't take long for the car to make a loud creaking sound and slowly start moving, and the rumbling sound began to sound from a slow tempo.

At this time, the soldiers guarding on both sides of the railroad tracks watched the huge iron horse begin to slowly snort and exhale rhythmically, and after a while, the chimney in front of the iron horse spewed out large black smoke, and the sound of the iron horse snorting became louder and louder, and finally the iron horse began to move, and the iron wheels under its feet turned on the rails with a loud sound. With the rapid rotation of the iron wheel, the iron horse ran. Under the traction of the locomotive, the train drove out of the locomotive management office, and ran out happily in the preset direction ahead, leaving a thick black smoke floating above the sky along the way, and the footprints of the industrial revolution finally spread all over the north and south of the empire, although its arrival also carried a thick layer of smoke and dust, but after all, it came, and now China must have its arrival.

The wind was blowing on his face, Lin Hong stood up from his seat and looked at the mountains, rivers, and fields that were constantly retreating around him, and he said loudly to Lin Hongnian beside him: "Don't Village, tell me what this thing will bring to China?" ”

"Yichen sees that the previous north-south transportation can be canceled, the trade in various places will become bigger and bigger, the frontier will become more and more stable, and the goods will become faster and faster from production to sales."

Lin Hongnian's words fluttered in the whirring wind, and there seemed to be two flames burning in his eyes, obviously his words were not finished, and he could not finish the benefits of the train.

The Squires of the Northland, who had never seen a train before, were amazed to experience the sensation of moving fast on the train. Everything was amazing, and after ten minutes of driving, someone asked in surprise: "Isn't this iron horse tired of carrying so many people?" Why don't you let Iron Horse stop and feed him some forage for a break? ”

This made the officials on the train laugh, and after a long time of instilling the common sense of the train, the officials finally knew more than the squires, and some of them replied: "The iron horse eats a black stone called coal, and if you look out, the black smoke is the iron horse's fart." ”

The man looked out, then turned his head back and said, "If this is the case, it must be very important to be able to eat stones." This caused everyone to laugh again.

This time, the locomotive trial ended happily, dispelling the concerns of the squires from all over the country, and they took back their letters of request and returned to their hometowns, actively cooperating with the propaganda team of the Ministry of Rites to promote the benefits of the railway. The railway section of Wangzhuang was also agreed upon by the imperial court, and finally the cabinet paid a lot of money to pass the railway here.
