Chapter 568: Seeing and Hearing (1)

If the first stop of Daming, Xinqin Port, still made Elizabeth feel mixed feelings, the next journey allowed her to completely fly in the beautiful travel experience.

Hop on a train from Sinchin and cross the Primorsky Plains, along the Voshito Mountains, onto the Edwards Plateau, and into Utah.

The majestic scenery of the mountains and rivers along the way fascinated Elizabeth.

She lay on the ledge of the train and could barely take her eyes off.

Zhang Chenliang was keen to remind Elizabeth that there were almost no dedicated passenger trains on the railroad connecting Salt Lake City and Xinchin.

In fact, this year, except for big cities like Xinfeng, London, and Paris, there are almost no places where they will have the luxury of using specialized passenger trains.

The Yan-Qin line is the most important freight route for Daming to Western Europe and South America, and freight demand overwhelmingly outweighs passenger demand.

Based on Zhang Chenliang's experience, the windowsill that Elizabeth is leaning on at the moment is likely to be let go of things like rich and white pigs.

But it doesn't matter.

After all, it was a high-ranking official leader of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and this passenger and cargo carriage must have been strictly disinfected.

"Bright, you know, I used to think that the Hungarian plain was the vast, wildest, and freest place in the world, and that the Bohemian Plain was the richest land......"

Elizabeth leaned half of her body out of the car, made the movements of the heroine of the Titanic, and embraced the wind with open arms.

The Yan-Chin line has not been renovated, and the speed requirements for rail freight are not high, so the speed of this train is only 30 kilometers per hour.

If it weren't for such a slow speed, leaning out of the window, nunchucks would have come over a long time ago.

But Elizabeth apparently did not have such awareness.

She cheered as if she had gotten her favorite doll: "It wasn't until I came to Daming that I realized that Hungary was so small, Bohemia was so small, and Austria-Hungary was so small......

You see, after two days and two nights of such a fast train, we still haven't seen a shot of the earth! โ€

"It's just a very ordinary view."

Zhang Chenliang spread his hands, and his face still had the expression of a Tibetan fox with no waves, "The main thing is that there are too few places you have been." How big is the whole of Europe? ใ€

The two most vast lands in the world belong to our Ming Dynasty. This time, you are so happy to see the Wild West of North America, but if you go to China, go to the headquarters of China, and see the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the endless Gobi Desert, won't you take off? โ€

"Really? Will there be a wider horizon there? Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise.

A gust of wind blew the sunhat off Elizabeth's head.

Zhang Chenliang grabbed it quickly, and then gently buckled it back on her head, "Of course it's true, there are also black plains full of frozen soil, polar tundra inhabited by white bears, and the desert of the Western Regions where camels and wild donkeys gallop, in short, the number of natural scenery in our Ming Dynasty is not enough......"

"That's great!"

Elizabeth said, "How I wish I could one day visit all these fascinating places!" โ€

After a pause, she suddenly asked, "If there really is such a day, Liang, would you like to be my guardian knight?" โ€

"What do you mean by Guardian Knight?" Zhang Chenliang scratched his head and said.

"That's it...... That's what a tour guide means! Elizabeth gave him a blank look.

"Is the salary high? Is there a meal supplement? Are travel expenses reimbursed? Zhang Chenliang asked.

"Nope!" Elizabeth gritted her teeth.

"Then it depends on whether the organization approves the funding or not."

Zhang Chenliang spread his hands, "Look, this time I accompanied you to Daming, and the imperial court gave subsidies, so ......"

ยท

Along the way, except for some times when Zhang Chen was angry, most of the time Elizabeth was extremely happy.

Daming's natural scenery fascinated her.

The people around you make people angry, but they're actually funny.

After the transfer in Salt Lake City and the renovated Pacific Coast Railway, the speed of the train has risen sharply to 62 kilometers per hour, and even to more than 70 kilometers per hour and more than 80 kilometers per hour when the road conditions are good.

Fast!

It's so fast!

It feels like you're flying!

This is the thought that every tourist who takes the Daming Fuxing train for the first time can't help but have.

This time, Elizabeth no longer dared to stick her head out of the window.

However, the natural scenery along the way is still beautiful when viewed through the transparent, smooth and highly crafted Daming leaded glass.

On the stretching coastline, you can see the fishing boats of the Ming Dynasty from time to time.

Fishermen are casting their nets.

Fishing is highly profitable.

Although the fisherman is fortunate and needs to be away all year round, the economic benefits are not comparable to that of the farmer.

This is similar to that of a sailor on a transport ship.

In Daming, it is not the ethereal "man's dream" that supports the people of Daming to go to sea, but the desire for a happy life that supports them to flock to the sea one after another.

In addition to these civilian boats, there are sometimes some bells and whistles on the sea, which look particularly eye-catching and beautiful.

Elizabeth thought it was a brothel in the East.

In some biographical works about China, she has seen a kind of boat called a painting boat.

There are professional prostitutes soliciting customers on it.

However, Zhang Chenliang told her that these boats were not painting boats.

If you want to see a boat, you have to go to Seattle.

In Seattle's bays, there are some yachts that are just boats, and there will be some exciting projects on them.

He said he didn't know anything about what the project was.

Because he wasn't a Seattle customer.

And these colorful boats interspersed between the fishing boats in front of me are actually patrol boats belonging to the Fusi Coast Guard of Jinyi Weinan Town.

In recent times, there have been some illegal refugees from the Aztec and Maya Confederations trying to smuggle their way to Daming by sea.

On the southern border of the Ming Dynasty, it is a residential belt of fierce men with the Hakka people as the main body.

The Aztecs could not sneak in, and some of them began to smuggle by sea.

This attempt was met with a heavy blow from the Daming Coast Guard.

The death order issued by the imperial court was that without the consent of the Ming Emperor, the southwest piece of sail was not allowed to go ashore.

From His Majesty the Emperor to ordinary people, the Ming society has no good looks at these illegal immigrants, and even says that they are disgusted.

In addition to openly and covertly restricting the development of industry in the backyard countries, the Ming Dynasty did not knock out the marrow or export turmoil to neighboring countries.

It will even use its own market to help them make a fortune and form a community with a shared future.

For example, the princely state of Colyma, which has no land of three feet, has developed impressively.

These people do not feel at ease to stay in the country to build the motherland, and want to get something for nothing, and share the fruits of the hard work of all the citizens of the Ming Dynasty through the means of smuggling, and this plot will certainly not succeed.
