Chapter 502: Dowry
Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, steam ships want to sail to Hexi. ”
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, this time there will be 200 people invited on board."
"All the people of Daliang only need to bring their household registration certificates and two hundred taels of silver, and they can wait for the ship to take a steamship."
Children bring newspapers and sell them to the streets.
Some families who have spare money and like to hunt for curiosities have to buy a newspaper.
"Such a good thing, why don't we go and see it?"
"I heard that I was going to sail to Hexi, do you think it will succeed?"
"It will definitely work, you don't see how much the princess attaches importance to it."
"I heard that it was the old helmsman Zhang Heng who drove the boat."
"If it's him, the belt can be fully protected. Hurry up and sign up, or there will be no place. ”
The quota of 200 seems like a lot, but it is actually not enough to sell.
The main thing is that there are too many people who want to go.
On the day the steamship sailed, the docks were packed.
Those who were allowed to carry suitcases and their servants waved to the men under the ship.
Showing off to outsiders that they have the opportunity to wait for the ship, and at the same time showing off their background to outsiders.
Which of the first people to board the ship was not extraordinary? Which one is not a big family behind it?
The people on the boat look at the people on the boat, and there is only envy.
At this time, there was a commotion at the docks.
Two teams of men and horses pushed the crowd away at the same time, and the male and female armored teams stood on the left and right sides respectively, stopping the commotion of the people.
The jujube red horse pulled the car with a gold and dark gold filigree pattern and slowly walked into the dock.
Seeing the flag on the car, everyone knew that the regent and the princess regent were coming.
The steward of the dock hurried over, bowed down and bowed, willing to be the pedal of the carriage.
Xiao Jingxing helped Su Lingyu get off the horse, and there was a burst of cheers outside.
Su Lingyu waved his hand to the outside and greeted the people.
When I first came here, there were not many people here, and the people's trust in the court was not very high.
With a series of policies to benefit the people, as well as the distribution and sale of high-yield seeds and high-quality seeds, the people of Beicheng are more and more fond of the government.
They admired the regent, because the regent led his troops to drive out the barbarians.
They like the Regent because of the Regent, who brings them hope, brings them jobs, and brings income.
Whenever the Prince Regent and Princess Regent appeared, they were more happy than they were to see their relatives who had been reunited after a long absence.
When Wang Lung saw his master and his son, he quickly ran over to make a move.
"Meet the prince, meet the princess."
Xiao Jingxing helped Wang Lung up, "You are going to sail today, and I am here to give you a ride." I hope you have smooth sailing and a smooth road ahead. ”
"Thank you for your love, the villain will definitely bring the steamship to every corner of the girder that can pass through the ship."
Xiao Jingxing patted Wang Long on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"This is the glory given by the prince, so how hard is it."
Take a steamboat around the girder, who doesn't know him Wang Long?
"It's auspicious, it's time to go." Su Lingyu reminded.
Wang Lung was deeply concerned with the prince and the princess, "If the villain leaves with a steamboat, he can't serve by the side of the prince and the princess." Please also ask for your good health and take care of yourself. ”
Wang Lung took his youngest son to kowtow to the prince and the princess, ringing three heads to express their gratitude to the prince and the princess.
Su Lingyu advised: "Take care all the way." ”
All the merchant ships, began to stow the planks and the cables.
When the roar sounded, the steamship began to start, and Su Lingyu waved goodbye to the people on board.
The people on board were even more excited, cheering and shouting, calling everyone to take care.
The first steamship capable of sailing left the North City and embarked on a national tour.
A year later
The streets of Kyoto
The boy ran around, "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, and in three days, the Qingyang steamship will enter the Lancheng dock." ”
Ranjo is the gateway to Kyoto's waterways, and it is less than a day's journey from Kyoto, which can be reached in a day if the fast horse works overtime.
The arrival of the steamship in Rancheng proves that the steamship has arrived in Kyoto.
You can find out what the steamship looks like.
As soon as the news came out, people on the streets of Kyoto rushed to buy newspapers.
Everyone spread the news, one ten, ten hundreds, and almost the whole of Kyoto knew about it.
The next day, the boy ran all over the street with a newspaper in his arms.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Qingyang carries the dowry gift from the regent to the Du family. The dowry is extraordinary, and the treasures ......"
I like to watch the lively, the curious, and I have made up my mind to take a look.
In order to get a good viewing position, some people set off a day in advance.
The whole court and the central government knew about the news, and many officials were itching and wanted to take a look.
It's a pity that the Kyoto canal is not big enough, otherwise the Qingyang will be directly outside the Kyoto gate.
In the palace, the queen hugged her second son and asked the emperor, "Does my mother know who Qingyang is?" Why do you always use the name Qingyang? ”
Huaili thought for a moment and said, "I probably know." My mother has been smart since she was a child, and she knows something somewhat. The mother used the name Qingyang, and the father did not object, indicating that the mother had persuaded the father. ”
"Or my father let my mother know, and this title is his."
The queen nodded, "Mother likes to use her own name, since you ascended the throne, she rarely uses her own name, even her father's name is rarely used." ”
"To the beginning, whenever I come up with something new, my mother will name it after my father.
Now I can't name it openly, so I have to choose this name. ”
Huaili stroked his palm and responded: "That's really the case, my mother must know who Qingyang is, so I used this to name the study." ”
"However, the emperor asked Wang Lung, and Wang Lung said that his mother didn't know."
Huaili smiled: "It's not that I don't know, but I pretend not to know, my mother is using this to tease us and tease my father!" ”
It's funny when I think of my dad being jealous.
I eat my own vinegar, and I can't say it if I eat it, do you say that you are aggrieved or not?
"Someone." Huai Li summoned the adults who lived in the notes, "Record the Qingyang in the annals of history, and say that this is the first steamship in Daliang, and its name is Qingyang." A metaphor for the Lord Regent. ”
"Yes."
On the day the steamship arrived at the Rancheng pier, almost half of Kyoto's people crowded outside the pier, waiting to see the steamship dock.
When the steamship revealed its true face, many people were frightened.
At the bow of this steamship, there is actually an iron sheet wrapped in iron sheets, which looks like a giant beast in iron armor from a distance.
They talked about this for a long time, and looked forward to the day when they could go to sea on this boat.
Because few people come on the boat to see it, most of the descriptions of its interior rely on fantasy.
Some people say that the steam engine inside is like a horse, some people say that the steam engine inside is like an iron bull, and some people say that it is an iron beast, a beast with great strength.
Another solemn event of the day was the dowry of the Prince Regent.
No one can tell how much this dowry is, but the bearer of the dowry used a battalion of soldiers and walked for four hours.
It can be seen that the Regent Palace's attention to the Du family girl.
