Chapter 407: The First Railroad is Completed

Feng Shangshu ...... Feng Shangshu ......! ”

After Xiao Zhengtai entered the palace, he quickly turned his calves upside down and ran towards the Ministry of Works, shouting as he ran.

Although he privately called Feng Quji an old man, this was in the palace, and he had to give face to this old man.

A Shangshu still has to be called!

The train has already been tested and is now waiting for the completion of the railway.

Now that he has learned the good news, Xiao Zhengtai can't hold back his excited heart!

"Little boy, don't shout, our Shangshu is not here!"

As soon as he broke into the gate of the Ministry of Works, he met the outsider and stopped him.

"Not there? Where did the old man go? ”

Xiao Zhengtai looked puzzled.

"Forehead ......"

Hearing the title of the old man, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Labor, was stunned for a moment.

Good guy, Feng Quji was also the former prime minister, and now he is called an old man!

But it's not unusual, the famous name of Guiguzi I is admired by countless students, the little boy should be called the old man, isn't it also called the old man?

"Back to the little boy, our Shangshu took a stack of drawings, and it seems that he went to the imperial study to meet the emperor!"

"See my father? Didn't you just get off the morning for a while? Why did he go to his father? ”

Ying Feiyu tilted her head and asked suspiciously.

"I don't know what good news there seems to be? Shangshu was in a hurry, and he didn't give us a chance to ask! ”

"Good! Then the boy went to the imperial study to take a look! ”

Knowing Feng Quji's whereabouts, Xiao Zhengtai immediately turned around and ran to the imperial study.

……

"Hahaha! Good! That's great! ”

After a few moments, a small figure came to the door of the imperial study.

Before he could enter the door, he heard Yingzheng's hearty smile.

Yo?

What good news does it seem to have?

couldn't wait for the report, so Xiao Zhengtai pushed the door and entered!

Han Xin and Wang Li didn't dare to break in rashly, so they stood guard at the door with the guards!

Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon chair, grinning and laughing!

"Father? Why are you so happy? ”

Xiao Zhengtai glanced at Feng Quji in the hall, and then looked at Yingzheng.

"Hahaha! Your kid came just in time, and I was about to send someone to find you......!" ”

Ying Zheng was not angry because of his intrusion, but his eyes lit up, and he felt that he had come at the right time, "Come and take a look, the railway drawings that Feng Aiqing just sent, all the routes on them have been completed, that is to say, the train will be opened to traffic soon, and I can also go to Yanmen County to go around, look at the grasslands of the former Xiongnu, and see if my people in Daqin are still used to living there, haha!" ”

Ying Zheng said happily, in a good mood.

This is the first vehicle in Daqin that can travel thousands of miles a day, and it would be fake to say that it is not exciting!

Even Han Xin and Wang Li, who were outside the door, were excited when they heard it.

It's just that they didn't dare to show too much, looked at each other and smiled, raised their eyebrows, and forget it!

"Really? Was the railroad really repaired? ”

Ying Feiyu hurriedly ran to the back of the dragon case, grabbed the drawings and quickly flipped through them.

Feng Qujian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is also the little boy, just change someone, the moment he breaks into the imperial study, his head is already lost.

Not to mention running behind the dragon case!

"Back to the little boy, it has indeed been repaired, and after the minister learned the news, he immediately came to report the good news to His Majesty!"

Feng Qujian bowed his hand and said with a smile.

"Great, I'll send someone to inform Huang Yuan later, and let them pull the locomotive to the railway for testing!"

Xiao Zhengtai's face was full of joy.

"Testing? Why do you still need to test? Hasn't it been tested before? ”

These two words undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on Ying Zheng's head.

He was preparing to pack up and go to Yanmen County in the next two days.

But according to this kid's meaning, it must not work!

Even Feng Quji was stunned, staring at him with a pair of old eyes.

"Of course, the previous test was to see if the train could run, but now the test is whether the train can run long distances, whether there will be any obstacles, and it is also to test whether the tracks are qualified......!"

Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes and continued: "If you let the people board the train without testing, once there is an accident, a carload of people will be dangerous!" ”

Not to mention in this era, even if it is a newly built railway track in later generations, it needs to be tested for a long time, just to ensure the safety of people's lives!

"I think what the little boy said is very reasonable!"

Although Feng Quji also felt that the test was very troublesome, after his analysis, it was indeed necessary.

These ministers have invested a lot of money in the railway, and they are all looking forward to the day when the train will officially operate.

If you don't go through the test, there will be a problem on the first day, and who will dare to take the train in the future?

If no one rides, then you can't make money!

If the railroad can't make money, won't their previous investment be wasted?

"Uh...... Makes sense! ”

Ying Zheng nodded reluctantly and asked, "When will the test begin?" ”

"It's going to be tomorrow morning at the earliest!"

Xiao Zhengtai thought for a while and gave an approximate time.

The railway has not yet been built, and after the train is built, it can only be placed in the workshop.

Even if Huang Yuan is informed now, the delivery of parts plus assembly will be the fastest tomorrow afternoon!

"Good! After tomorrow morning, I will go with all the ministers to watch! ”

Hearing this time, Ying Zheng was quite satisfied, at least it didn't drag on for ten days and a half months.

"Okay!"

Xiao Zhengtai agreed.

"After the train opens, it is estimated that more people will emigrate to the Xiongnu!"

Even though the train has not yet started testing, Yingzheng has already begun to imagine what it will be like after the train opens.

The reason why it is difficult to migrate now is because people have the idea of returning to their roots.

Reluctance to leave the place where he grew up.

Not to mention the Huns, who were thousands of miles away?

If you immigrate, it is basically impossible to return to Daqin!

After the train opens, it will be much easier to do, and it will be possible to arrive in one day, which is convenient for people to visit relatives!

"Yes, in the future, as my Great Qin becomes stronger and stronger, there will be more and more train lines!"

Feng Qujian nodded with a smile on his face.

"The benefits of trains are many, in addition to the passenger and freight traffic mentioned earlier, they can also drive the economy along the railway!"

Xiao Zhengtai spoke slowly.

"Driving the local economy?"

Now the two of them didn't understand.

Left and right are just charging fees from the people and merchants to make money, what does it have to do with the railway coast?

"That's right, the train doesn't start from Xianyang and arrive directly in Yanmen County, and it has to stop many times on the way to pick up and drop off passengers and replenish the coal and water needed for the train!"

"Therefore, there will be a lot of people who visit relatives for a short time, and some sons and daughters are tired of staying in the local area, so they can go to the counties along the railway line to go around and feel the customs of other regions!"

"And those poets, calligraphers, painters, and painters, you can go to other places to find inspiration!"

"All in all, after the opening of the railway, as long as it is a station where the railway stops, the economy will all be driven ......!"

Ying Feiyu explained endlessly to the two.

Only then did the two understand that the railway was not only convenient for the people and conducive to the military, but also could drive the economy along the railway.

Wouldn't that be more than a few more?
