First, nearly 10 million yuan was invested in the iron factory (more than 5 million equipment, including the cost of building the factory), and then the first highway in the world, Yan Shao's actions made the world a little dizzy.

"Is this what it's called a highway..."

Looking at the gray road in front of him, Lu Chuanguang said in disbelief.

The four-lane grey road is very spacious, the whole road is made of gray, the road surface has been painted with white paint, and some plants have been planted on both sides of the road...

Looking at the highway in front of him, not only Lu Chuanguang, but also many local people in Dangtu were also curious and shocked, obviously never thinking that the most ordinary road could be built like this. Some people even went up to try it out and experienced the novel feeling of stepping on the gray road.

The first highway in history, the Ivos Highway, also known as the German Highway 555, was actually paved with ash, only later paved with a layer of asphalt, so this road can be said to be quite 'avant-garde', of course, the current construction workers have only just paved a little, and the overall length is even less than a kilometer, but even this is shocking enough.

Since the news that Yan Shao planned to start building an iron factory in Xiangshan came out, the news that he was going to build a road between Dangtu and Xiangshan was not long after the news was also spread.

People are no strangers to the era of iron works, after all, this era is an era of competition for steel, which country has more steel, which country is strong—————— so may be a bit too narrow. But it is already the closest criterion to the truth.

However, for the novelty of the road, which has not yet appeared, the people of this era seem very unfamiliar. So when the news of the construction of the highway broke, a large number of people came from all over the world to see what the so-called 'highway' really looked like. There were some gentry from several neighboring provinces, as well as many foreigners who came from Shanghai.

After seeing this highway, even foreigners who thought they were well-informed showed surprised expressions, because they had never seen such a beautiful road, and a reporter from Shanghai even wrote in the report. "The famous Mr. Yan Shao is using his own ability to realize what he once wrote in the novel, so to speak. The road that appeared in front of me was a science fiction existence in itself, and compared to the surrounding buildings and roads, it was more like crossing directly from the future..."

Leaving aside whether such a report is an exaggeration. It is a fact that after the report was released, it attracted more people.

At the same time, looking at the highway in front of him and the exclamations of the people around him, Lu Chuanguang's mood was a little complicated.

In fact, he came here this time because of the mission of the Alliance—————— the matter of the highway had already reached Japan. Naturally, it is impossible for the alliance to be ignorant of the way. as a revolutionary group. Many people in the League have a great curiosity about new things, so after learning about the highway, they want people to go to Dangtu to see how the highway is, if possible, it is best to take a few photos of it, and then the League can post it on the page of the "People's Daily", and by the way, you can publicize it...

However, the number of people in the alliance in Anhui was not large, and Lu Chuanguang's Wuhu branch could be said to be the most recent one, so it was natural for Lu Chuanguang to take over this glorious and sacred task.

Of course. And that's just for those who don't know what the truth is.

For Yan Shao and his Yushi Company, Lu Chuanguang's heart is quite complicated until now.

The reason is simple. Because he didn't 'join' voluntarily, he had no choice but to have no choice when everyone around him had already joined. Although he is also a revolutionary and has sworn to give his life for the revolution, when Caterina coldly told him that if he did not agree, the consequences would be arranged for an 'accident', and when most of the members of the Wuhu branch had been bribed, the headquarters would also believe that it was an 'accident', Lu Chuanguang had no choice...

Especially after handing in the petition...

At the beginning, Lu Chuanguang actually wanted to pretend to take refuge first, and then wait for an opportunity to escape from Wuhu, and inform the headquarters of what happened in Wuhu. But when Caterina asked each of them to submit a 'vote', there was no way back for him and the others who were like-minded to him.

Although they were all forced, the fact that they killed their comrades has become a fact. So even if someone can understand them, they can't escape this responsibility, since this is the case, it is better to take the olive branch extended by Yan Shao...

It's just that even so, they are still reluctant after all...

Before seeing this road...

After seeing this highway, an idea suddenly popped up in Lu Chuanguang's heart. "Maybe the 'industrial salvation' mentioned by Yan Shao is more suitable than the proposition of the Alliance..."

Nationalism, the Reform Association, these are all confidential things, Lu Chuanguang is just a 'traitor' who has just submitted a letter of resignation, and his reluctant emotions are obviously exposed, so he is not qualified to know these things at present, and the six words 'military politics, training and constitutionalism' are not qualified at all...

So far, what Lu Chuanguang knows is only Yan Shao's idea of 'industry to save the country'...

Until today, Lu Chuanguang was a little disdainful of Yan Shao's proposition, thinking that he was no different from those 'compromisers' and 'surrenderers' of the constitutionalists, but now...

Glancing at Zhao Ming, who was taking pictures on the side, Lu Chuanguang said in his heart. "Maybe this guy is the smartest one..."

It's no wonder that he thinks so, as the first person to take refuge, he always has to enjoy more treatment, so although Zhao Ming has not yet been absorbed into the Innovation Association, he is already more important than Lu Chuanguang.

On the other hand, compared with Lu Chuanguang, who was still a little unwilling, Zhao Ming was also more able to adapt to his new identity, and he was even more grateful to Yan Shao.

After getting the 100 silver dollars, Zhao Ming quickly asked someone to send the money to Tianjin. After getting the 100 silver dollars, his cousin's condition was quickly stabilized in a German hospital, but in this era, like later generations, seeing a doctor was definitely a very expensive thing, not to mention that there was no medical insurance in this era, so it didn't take long for the 100 silver dollars to be spent.

At this time, his cousin's condition was close to recovery, but at this time, he had no money, which naturally made Zhao Ming and his parents very anxious. Although his cousin was very sensible and said that her body had almost recovered, and the rest could go home to recuperate, the Germans also made it clear that if her disease was not completely cured, it would easily recur, and at that time I am afraid that the situation would be even more dangerous than it is now...

encountered this kind of thing, and Zhao Ming fell for eight lifetimes, but just when he was in a hurry, Yan Shao, who knew about the situation from Peng Shan, directly gave him 200 yuan and asked him to send the money to Tianjin quickly.

200 yuan, if it is left in the future life, it should be equivalent to at least tens of thousands of yuan, if it is in the future life, Yan Shao will never donate so much money to others, no matter how pitiful that person's situation is.

It's not that Yan Shao doesn't have compassion and compares his heart to his heart, if he encounters this situation, he will also hope that he can get help from others. The problem was that Yan Shao at that time had no money at all, and he had neither the ability nor the qualification to help others...

But now that he has a family wealth that he can't spend, he is naturally willing to help others as much as he can.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world...

On the other hand, the 200 yuan may be nothing to Yan Shao, but it is definitely a life-saving money for Zhao Ming, so after his cousin completely recovered, although Zhao Ming was not even the periphery of the Reform Association, his gratitude had made him extremely loyal to Yan Shao, and Peng Shan, who had bought him, became a friend—————— after learning what happened to Zhao Ming, Peng Shan did not look down on him at all, on the one hand, he was a revolutionary comrade, on the other hand, he was a family member and beloved, At least in Peng Shan's opinion, no matter which side he chooses, he can't be considered wrong...

"I've been there all day long, and those people are not idle and tired..."Pushing a wheelbarrow to transport the ashes, looking back at the lights that kept flashing behind his eyes, a migrant worker said a little impatiently.

At the beginning, I saw so many people watching, and there were many reporters taking pictures there, and these migrant workers were also excited and nervous.

It's just that after a long time, these migrant workers have become bored, especially when those who come to watch often pull them to ask questions and interfere with their work—————— of course, they are still very happy about the benefits given to them by those reporters, which can be regarded as an additional income for these migrant workers during this time.

"Alright, let's get to work, as for those people, just treat them as if they don't exist..."Hearing his companion's complaints, another migrant worker smiled and said, shoveling out of his fallen ashes with a shovel as he spoke...

From Dangtu to Xiangshan, even if you walk in a straight line, there is a distance of about 15 kilometers, and now it is only one kilometer completed. And this kilometer is still in the county, the construction is the easiest one, and it will not be so simple when it comes to the outside of the county, and the rugged mountain roads are all headaches...

Hearing his companion's words, the complaining migrant worker nodded and said nothing.

Time passed little by little, and the highway became longer little by little, but I don't know how far the road can progress in the Xiangshan Iron Works after this road is repaired? (To be continued......)
