It's faster than you think.

Only one day later.

November 28.

On Qi Chunnian's side, a large convoy was organized and stopped at the gate of the palace.

There are as many as 150 single-tyred passenger four-wheeled carriages, which can accommodate up to 12 people.

There are also 30 large four-wheeled carriages with a maximum load capacity of 150 koku (9.375 tons), which can carry enough daily necessities during the journey.

The most special thing is that there are 10 high-end VIP cars with a length of 8.5 meters, a width of 2.2 meters, an empty weight of 9 tons, a fully enclosed structure, and a certain defensive capability, which is driven by a 120-horsepower diesel engine, which does not need to be pulled by horses, and the maximum speed can reach 70 yards - in fact, it is a low-configuration bus.

The number of such VIP cars is very small, there are less than 1,000 in the entire Ming Dynasty, and 90% of them are concentrated in the Jiangnan region, and there are very few in the north.

Qi Chunnian was able to find ten cars at once, which was the result of using all the connections and resources of Xujiazhuang in the capital.

In order to make the journey more comfortable, Qi Chunnian also organized manpower to temporarily transform these VIP cars, removed most of the seats, changed them into four single beds, and retained only four seats, plus a driver's seat and a co-pilot's seat, which can accommodate up to ten people, but the conditions and facilities are the most comfortable and superior.

There are also 5 field cooking trucks.

5 bath and shower trucks.

5 toilet cars.

5 professional maintenance support vehicles.

There are 210 vehicles of various types in total, and the preparation is extremely perfect.

Empress Zhou and others were very surprised by this, and had a very deep impression and understanding of Xujiazhuang's organizational ability and resource mobilization ability.

But there were too many items to be packed on the royal family's side, and it took more than half a day to basically prepare.

After dinner in the afternoon.

The core members of the royal family and a small number of palace maids and guards, a total of 90 people, got into ten VIP cars and took the lead in setting off.

Then there were other eunuchs, palace maids, and guards, more than 1,300 people, who rode in a four-wheeled carriage carrying passengers in one hundred and fifty carriages, and followed behind by sturdy horses.

Behind it are four-wheeled carriages carrying goods and various support vehicles.

But actually!

After the first ten VIP cars set off, the convoy behind them could not catch up, and it was impossible to catch up, and the distance would only get farther and farther.

Because the VIP convoy with an average speed of 30 km/h can run more than 300 kilometers a day, how can a four-wheeled carriage drawn by horses be chased?

It's just that with such a serious disconnect, what about the security of the royals? Who will protect these royals?

Naturally, it is a professional security guard in Xujiazhuang.

There are as many as 300 of them, and every three people ride a heavy-duty motorcycle, that is, there is a team of 100 motorcycles, escorted next to the VIP convoy, can maintain vigilance, can clear the road ahead, can respond to all kinds of emergencies at any time, and the weapons they carry are also extremely sufficient and advanced, plus the use of radio intercom real-time contact, can deal with most emergencies.

And that's not all!

On the more than 1,000-kilometer-long trunk road from the capital to the harbor city, on average, every 50 kilometers, Xujiazhuang has set up a traffic service station to provide material supplies, replace horses, repair vehicles, refuel, take hot showers, go to the toilet, arrange accommodation and other services, and solve the accommodation of 3,500 people without any problem.

In a word!

Under the careful arrangement of Xujiazhuang, the royal family visit group is absolutely safe and sound.

Of course, if the royal family is not at ease with these arrangements, they hope that the convoy behind them will follow, and then march slowly southward at a speed of more than 100 miles a day, it will take about 20 days before they can reach Harbour City.

"Niangniang, continue to set off early tomorrow morning, strive to arrive at Xujiazhuang as soon as possible, or wait for the convoy behind to arrive at the convergence?"

Therefore, in the evening, the sky became dark, and the VIP convoy that had driven more than 100 kilometers stopped at a transportation service station to rest, Qi Chunnian asked Queen Zhou.

"Let's keep going."

After thinking about it for a while, Queen Zhou said, in fact, she knew in her heart that it was better to wait for the convoy behind, but an average speed of thirty kilometers per hour, and one only five or six kilometers per hour, a speed difference of five or six times, how can you wait?

At this rate, it will take more than three days to reach Harbour City, and the four-wheeled motorcade behind it will have to travel for more than 18 days.

Who wants to waste that much time on long waits.

Arriving in Harbour City earlier, by the time the follow-up convoy arrived, they had been eating, drinking, and having been merry-drinking for half a month, and they had to avoid countless hardships in traveling and traveling.

It can only be said that Xujiazhuang is too developed and advanced, relying on traditional methods, it is impossible to catch up, and the gap is so big that people lose confidence and patience.

……

On December 1, the VIP convoy entered the territory of Shandong.

Sit in the co-pilot seat and sit on Qi Chunnian's lap.

Looking through the window glass of the car, seeing the scenery, villages and workshops on both sides of the road, the seven-year-old prince Zhu Cihong let out all kinds of exclamations and asked countless questions.

"Teacher, teacher, why are some houses in those villages so broken, some houses are so good, the big village just past, there are at least three cement brick houses, but most of the houses next to them are mud houses, and some of them look like they are about to collapse, and there are even a lot of dilapidated thatched houses, this weather is so cold, what should the people who live in it do, can they carry it?" Zhu Cihong asked worriedly.

"If you can't carry it, you have to carry it, this is their life."

Qi Chunnian shook his head and said: "This is the so-called gap between the rich and the poor and the polarization, the rich will be richer, regardless of food and housing, the conditions will be better and better, the poor will be poorer and poorer, it is difficult to change their fate, and even future generations will not be able to stay, there will be no one after three generations of poverty, and the rich will gradually master most of the resources, and the entire village may be theirs in the future." ”

"Why is this happening? It's so unfair to the poor, isn't it? Why should the rich get better and better, and they will freeze to death this winter? ”

"This is a social law that cannot be changed, and it is also the fundamental reason for the rise and fall of dynasties, every two or three hundred years, there will be a reincarnation of this kind of reincarnation, until the poor at the bottom can't stand it anymore and overthrow this unfair order."

"So what's there to do about it? Can't we get rid of that cyclical law? Zhu Cihong asked.

"Yes, of course there is a way to solve it, as long as you get to Xujiazhuang, maybe you can find this answer."

"Did the teacher say 'people-oriented, people-oriented'?"

"That's right, these eight words are answers, but there is a certain gap between theory and reality, only when you observe and understand in depth, will you have a more thorough understanding and comprehension."

"Well, I'll take a good look." Zhu Cihong nodded and said.

……

On the morning of December 2.

The VIP convoy arrived at the Yellow River ferry.

It took a lot of effort to drive a special iron-hulled ferry boat driven by diesel engines, but it could only transport two VIP cars across the Yellow River at a time, and it took more than two hours to complete the ferry.

If it weren't for the lack of water in the north in recent years, the water level of the Yellow River is not high, and sand mining is profitable, and a large amount of river sand has been dug up.

If you want to reduce the hidden dangers caused by the Yellow River, you have to spend at least 100 million silver dollars to carry out a comprehensive transformation.

"As long as the Yellow River is used well, it is no problem to irrigate tens of millions of acres of arable land in the north, and then dig a number of large-capacity water storage lakes in the north of the Yellow River, clean up some of the silted sediment, and reduce the risk of the Yellow River bursting its banks from once in more than ten years to once in 50 years." Qi Chun Nian Road.

"Will Xu Jiazhuang do such a good thing? This does not bring much benefit to Xujiazhuang. Zhang Yan asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Tianxia Tong Bank, can provide interest-free loans, provide excavator engineering team, to help the imperial court solve the Yellow River problem, but the premise is that the two sides must establish a very close cooperative relationship, otherwise this kind of project will not bring much benefit, Xu Jiazhuang really has no motivation to do, not to mention, this is the responsibility of the imperial court, if His Majesty the Emperor can completely solve the hidden dangers of the Yellow River in his lifetime, he is not said to be the first saint of the ages, but at least can be ranked in the top five." Qi Chun Nian Road.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

The crown prince Zhu Cihong said with a look of eagerness: "This Yellow River, I will solve it, my father is too poor to take out the money, maybe he has to rely on me!" ”

"Good Wu'er, good ambition."

Empress Zhou held him in her arms and was very pleased.

"Haha, as long as you have the determination and courage, even if you can't come up with the money, you can still get this big river, teacher, I am the first to support you!" Qi Chunnian gave a thumbs up.

And after crossing the Yellow River.

The average speed of the VIP convoy has increased to about 35 kilometers per hour.

And in order to arrive as soon as possible, the driver's driving time has been increased from 10 hours to 12 hours, that is, he can run 700 kilometers a day.

So December 3rd, at noon.

Yangzhou Mansion, the harbor city, finally appeared in front of all the members of the royal visiting group.

The tall building, which has 20 or 30 floors, has increased by several more than last year.

Solar panels are installed on the sloping roofs of almost every building, so that each building has its own power supply system.

There are no changes to the landmark scenery wind turbines on the seawall.

There is also the heavy industrial city built on the barren tidal flats not far to the north, and the tall chimneys can be seen very clearly even from a distance of more than ten miles, not to mention the gray smoke columns rising from the top.

Outside the harbor, the sound of the ship's whistle can be heard from time to time.

And before entering the city, you can hear the sound of car horns, engines, and the sound of vendors selling, which can be described as extremely lively.

Finally, there was the shock, and like all people who came to the city for the first time, they were stunned and shocked, even if they were mentally prepared in advance.

Queen Zhou muttered: "Cement, glass, steel, and tiles, these are not cheap things, but this harbor city seems to be composed of all these things." ”

The imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan's face was not shocked, and she secretly said in her heart: "What a powerful harbor city, this Xujiazhuang, the strength is indeed unfathomable, and the wealth is unimaginable." ”

The crown prince Zhu Cihong had already shouted, and said ignorant and fearlessly: "It's here, it's finally here, it's as beautiful as I thought, I want to make the capital the same in the future, no, it's even more beautiful!" ”

Other members of the royal visiting group, such as the two elder brothers of Queen Zhou, are full of excitement, fanaticism and greed, rubbing their hands and excited, cooperation, they have seen countless cooperation projects, as long as they show goodwill to Xujiazhuang, aim at suitable business opportunities, and strive to reach cooperation, they are rich and noble, and they can not spend endless money, they must grasp this opportunity, and must not return empty-handed!
