The people of Huaining County also gathered in the new railway station and discussed:

"The train station is so cleverly designed, simple and dignified, completely integrated into our rural landscape."

"Yes, the station also has a bookish smell of ancient officials, and it feels like going back to ancient times."

"The bench is very comfortable to sit on, unlike the previous stools. It's so user-friendly! ”

"The thought of being able to take the train to a foreign country makes me so excited that I can't sleep!"

"The prince of Chu built this station for the sake of our people, so that we can also live a happy life!"

"Our Huaining will be grateful to the prince of Chu from now on!"

Huaining County Ling Zhang also smiled and said, "Okay, good! The new railway station was completed, and it was convenient for the people to travel. The kindness of the prince of Chu, we will remember it in Huaining County! ”

"The prefectural commander is right!" An old man said excitedly: "This railway station is simple and generous, full of rural atmosphere, and our people like it very much!" ”

"That's it!" One woman chimed in: "With the train station, it's much easier to go to other places to see a doctor or catch a market." ”

A little boy ran over and said, "Lord County Commander, I want to work at this railway station when I grow up, thank you to Lord Chu!" ”

"Good boy, you have to study hard, and in the future, you will share the heavy responsibility of running the railway station for the prince of Chu." Zhang Xianling said with a smile.

One day a week later, the new railway station in Huaining County was finally completed and opened.

This railway station is designed in the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty government, which is simple and elegant.

The main body of the station house is made of blue-gray stone slabs, and there are three arches in the middle of the front, and the lintel is carved with a flying dragon pattern, which is lifelike.

Inside the arch is the station lobby, the floor is neatly paved with square bricks.

The lobby is flanked by ticket offices and waiting rooms.

The roof of the railway station is gray-black cylinder tiles, and the four corners are warped.

In front of the station is a wide cobblestone plaza for passengers to wait and carriages to stop.

The entire railway station is in harmony with the surrounding natural landscape, which is both simple and elegant.

Seeing the newly built railway station, the people of Huaining County were all dazzled and discussed:

"Wow, we finally have our own train station in Huaining County, it's so exciting!"

"The design of the railway station is so simple and elegant, and it has the charm of ancient architecture, which is too in line with our rural scenery."

"The waiting room inside is also very warmly furnished, with chairs to sit on, unlike before when you had to stand and wait for the bus."

"It's much easier to get out by train now, and I don't have to bump the carriage around anymore."

"The square in front of the train station is so big that it is convenient for horse-drawn carriages to stop and carry passengers. Thank you for your thoughtful planning! ”

"With such a railway station, our Huaining County is on an equal footing with the county seat in the city!"

"It's important for everyone to protect this new train station and not damage it."

At this time, Lord Li, the magistrate of Huaining County, also came to the railway station excitedly and said to the people:

"The new train station is finally built! This is all thanks to the support and help of the prince of Chu. There is such a railway station, which will greatly facilitate the travel of the people in the county. ”

An old man said excitedly: "Li Zhixian, you are right! This railway station is the best gift from the prince of Chu to our Huaining County. We must be forever grateful to the prince of Chu! ”

"Yes, with the train station, our lives will be more convenient." One woman said with a smile: "It's much easier to visit relatives or do business in other places." ”

With the railway connection between Fengyang and the surrounding counties, the first freight train was officially opened.

In the early morning of this day, the Fengyang, which was full of goods, slowly drove out of Fengyang Railway Station and headed for Jing County.

On the platform, Chu Ze led a group of officials and wealthy businessmen to watch the train leave.

"Lord Wang, the first train Fengyang has finally set sail, which marks the official opening of Fengyang's railway transportation." Zhao Si said on the side: "This is all thanks to your advocacy and promotion of railway construction. ”

Chu Ze smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, this is just the beginning, the railway still needs to be extended and connected to all places." With train transportation, it will greatly promote Fengyang's economic development and trade exchanges. ”

"The prince is wise!" Zhao Si exclaimed: "Your behavior of 'actively laying out and promoting development' will be wholeheartedly supported by the people!" ”

At this time, a wealthy businessman said excitedly: "With train transportation, our goods can be quickly delivered to Jing County, which will be a great benefit to business!" ”

Another wealthy businessman also smiled and said, "Exactly! The train transportation volume is large and fast, and we can purchase a large number of special products from Jing County to expand the scale of Fengyang's trade. At that time, Fengyang will become the most prosperous commercial town in Daming! ”

"Not only will commerce prosper," one scholar interjected, "In my opinion, trains can also transport heavy raw materials such as coal and stone, providing a strong impetus for Fengyang's industrial development." It will become the industrial center of the Southeast! ”

"Good! Very good! Chu Ze said with a smile: "You are right, the significance of the railway is to promote the exchange of trade, industry and culture. It will promote the progress of Fengyang and even the entire Ming Dynasty! ”

"Yes! We will definitely seize this historic opportunity and let Fengyang move towards a more brilliant future under the wise leadership of your lord! Everyone said.

Chu Ze felt a burst of relief and joy in his heart.

He watched the train drift away, and thought secretly: "The first step has been taken, but there is still a long way to go to complete the railway network of the Ming Dynasty." As long as we take positive actions and forge ahead, we will be able to gradually achieve this ambitious goal and let the people share the fruits of development. Although I am only a small part of it, I will do my best to contribute to this great cause! ”

Seeing Chu Ze's solemn expression, Zhao Si also whispered on the side: "Lord Wang, the automobile transportation and high-speed rail network you invented are now very commendable. This marks the dawn of a new era of civilization progress! With you leading the people to move forward bravely, Daming will usher in unprecedented prosperity! ”

Chu Ze bowed slightly when he heard this: "That's right." The development of transportation is an important symbol of the progress of civilization. We must guide the people to be proactive and innovative, and strive to improve the infrastructure of the Ming Dynasty more quickly, so that all localities can be connected as one. At that time, the rich and powerful Ming Dynasty will surely bloom in the forest of all nations! ”

In this way, under the promotion of Chu Ze, the construction of Fengyang railway transportation is becoming more and more perfect.

Trains bring transport, trade and cultural transmission to a wider territory, connecting and creating prosperity.

Chu Ze is deeply gratified and proud, this is just the beginning, he will continue this great mission to promote the railway industry, and finally let the entire Ming Dynasty become a family, and all the people feel the fruits of development!

A week later, the new railway station in Jing County also ushered in the first train.
