"Yes, my subordinates will go."

The second tiger was just about to leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Forget it, let's go by ourselves." ”

Such a loud voice just now made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart move.

Curiosity soared, as if it had been tickled, and there was no way to wait.

After coming to Beiping, he was shocked too much.

The first is the asphalt road under your feet, and the second is the movie.

He felt that this thing that made a sound and made the ground vibrate was probably a new thing.

When I got out of the carriage, I was greeted by a building about five feet wide.

There is an endless stream of people coming in and out, some of the people are like hawkers, carrying flat poles, and some are carrying cotton wool, which is particularly lively.

There is a large plaque on the building with large characters: Railway Station - Gu'an Station.

"The train station?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, he had heard of horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and donkey carts, but he had never heard of trains, what was a train?

Since I don't understand, I can only ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes looked at the people who came in and out, and without him opening his mouth, Erhu understood what he was going to do.

Erhu swept around, saw a person in his thirties, showed a gentle smile, and said, "This brother, can you move and ask a few small questions." ”

As he spoke, Erhu tossed a few pieces of broken silver in his hand.

The man's eyes lit up in his thirties, and he immediately followed Erhu to Zhu Yuanzhang, rubbed his hands and said, "Two, what do you want to ask?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "What are you doing with a flat burden?" ”

The young man, dressed in burlap clothes, placed his pole on the ground and lifted the cloth from the basket, which contained some carpenter's tools such as planers and saws.

"This lord, you see, I am going to Beiping City to do carpentry for others. Now there are people in the city who decorate their houses every day and need to make furniture, and the market is good. ”

The young man smiled innocently and said his purpose.

"How much money do you make a day as a carpenter?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The young man said truthfully: "Carpentry is now delicious, a hundred dollars a day." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, is this current hard work so profitable?

A salary of 100 yuan is indeed no worse than farming.

According to the current prices in Beiping, a day's salary can buy a big fat chicken and more than 30 catties of wheat. It's enough for a family of six.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled, and began to calculate the situation of the people in Beiping.

It is no wonder that these farmers do not need to farm, because large households have contracted large tracts of land, and more grain has been grown with chemical fertilizers, and food prices have fallen.

The common people did not have to pay poll tax, land tax and other taxes, and completely became free people, relying on their ability to earn a living

This Li Xiao, the idea is really special enough, when we first met him, we could always think about problems from other angles, and now it seems that his perspective is too special

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought that he hadn't asked about the train yet.

Thinking of this, he pointed to the train station, "What is this train station?" ”

"Oh, that's what you want to ask."

The young man enthusiastically explained, "Speaking of which."

There was a look of adoration on his face, "That's just a miracle, a fairy trick. We don't believe that this is something that people can make. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What the hell is it, don't sell it." ”

The young man spread his hands, glared and said, "Big guy! Extraordinarily big! It can make a loud noise, and you can think of it as a very large carriage that can carry people from here to Beiping. ”

"Big guy, carrying people to Beiping won't be a carriage, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"No, no, no." The young man waved his hand: "It's definitely not a carriage, it's a big iron lump, an iron lump that can pull hundreds of people." ”

"Pull a few hundred?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, he couldn't imagine what could pull hundreds of people and walk on land, and only a big ship could do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "What is this thing, when did it appear in Beiping?" ”

"Half a year ago."

The young man explained: "Half a year ago, the newspaper suddenly announced that the train was officially in operation, and from Gu'an County to Beiping, it could be reached by train, and it also passed through Daxing County on the way, and there is only one line in Beiping at present. ”

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Erhu gave the broken silver to the man, and he took the silver with a smile on his face and left.

"Master Huang, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Erhu asked.

"Go, of course I want to go, I want to see what this big guy who is called a fairy trick is."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the gate of the railway station with his hands in his hands.

Seeing this, the two tigers waved their hands, and immediately appeared in secret, and the two tigers said: "Send the carriage to Beiping." Jin Yiwei nodded, and then pulled the carriage away.

After finishing it, Erhu also followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the train station.

The train station is crowded and extremely noisy.

If this train is a means of transportation like a ship, Zhu Yuanzhang judged from this that his layout for more than 30 years is now chaotic, and the mobility of the people of Beiping is very high.

There are also shops in the train station that sell pasta, dry food and water.

In the center there is a large window that reads: Ticket Office.

I asked another passer-by and learned that if I wanted to take the train, I had to buy a ticket first.

So Zhu Yuanzhang began to line up in order again, after all, it was a civil visit, and he had always treated himself as an ordinary person.

When it was his turn, the conductor at the window asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Beiping." ”

The conductor said: "One penny and one person in Beiping." ”

Erhu took out the broken silver and handed it over, but was rejected by the conductor, and said: "Sorry guest officer, there are more people buying tickets every day on our side, so we don't accept broken silver, but use Daming treasure money." If not, please go to the exchange office and exchange it in advance. ”

The broken silver has to be weighed, and there are many people who buy tickets, which is very inconvenient, so it must be exchanged for treasure money in advance.

"Da Ming treasure banknote?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, can you still use treasure money here?

Li Xiao, this kid, was because he said that the treasure money depreciated like waste paper, so he asked the fourth child to stop using the treasure banknotes.

How can it be used now?

He's doing all this secretly?

Damn, this kid can't be secretly printing money himself, is he?

This is a big crime, a big crime that is all over the house, this kid is bolder!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu and said, "Erhu, do you have treasure money on you?" ”

"Master Huang, there really is one."

Erhu was ecstatic in his heart and took out a treasure note on his body.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang who added to Erhu a few years ago, and the Daming treasure banknote with a face value of 1,000 taels had long been turned into waste paper, but Erhu was unwilling, and he was reluctant to throw it away as waste paper, so he kept it with him.

He thought to himself, great, this thousand taels of Da Ming treasure banknotes, I didn't expect it to be used in Beiping, and I will find nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver later. Flattered.

This extra money can finally be cashed in!!

Erhu took out the Daming treasure banknote and slapped it in front of the window.

He smiled slightly, waiting to find the silver.

Unexpectedly, the conductor's face immediately changed, Beiping stipulates that using counterfeit banknotes is a big crime, this guy actually uses such fake treasure money to fool around?

"Someone! Someone uses counterfeit money! ”

"Beat the guard! Someone uses counterfeit money! ”

The conductor immediately took the treasure bill in his hand and kept shouting loudly.

Erhu: "???? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???? ”

The two were a little confused.

How can this regular Daming treasure banknote become a counterfeit banknote?

In an instant, the entire train station hall was stunned and looked over, but I didn't expect anyone to dare to use counterfeit banknotes?

Someone who dared to use counterfeit money has already had their heads cut off.

"And those who use counterfeit money."

"Look, there are people who are not afraid of death."

"We've heard that the person who uses counterfeit money in the Li Governor's Mansion hates it the most, and he destroyed a den last time and cut off all his heads."

The people pointed and talked a lot.

At this time, a group of watchmen dressed in black and wearing gongs on their chests in the train station came quickly with knives.

"Bold, dare to use counterfeit money here, take it!"

The silver gong at the head gave an order.

Immediately, four or five people attacked Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.

"Bold! Who dares! ”

Erhu was shocked, these people are really crazy.

He took out the Daming treasure banknote and said that it was a counterfeit banknote, and he still wanted to take the saint?

Erhu was about to wave his hand and shout out the Jinyi Guard to take down this group of unknown people.

The first silver gong is to check for counterfeit banknotes.

His vision is more vicious than that of this new conductor, and at a glance he knows that this is the Daming treasure banknote that was invalidated a few years ago, and I am afraid that it is not clear about the situation from other places and misunderstands others.

"Stop, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

The leader of the silver gong hurriedly stopped his subordinates and explained: "This is the Daming treasure banknote that was invalidated a few years ago, not a counterfeit banknote, misunderstanding." ”

Yinluo walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Erhu again.

"Sorry both, it was our mistake." He bowed down and apologized, and then handed back the Daming treasure banknote to Erhu.

"What do you mean, isn't this a Daming treasure banknote?"

Erhu said with a displeased face: "Didn't that person just say that if you want to buy a ticket, you need Daming treasure money, isn't it?" ”

Yin Gong looked at Erhu's eyes, obviously a little helpless, and said: "Who would have thought that the Daming treasure banknote that has been abolished for a few years can still appear, we don't use this kind of treasure banknote." ”

Erhu asked: "What, is there still a kind of treasure money in Beiping?" ”

Yinluo nodded, and then explained: "Now Beiping uses the new second version of the Daming treasure banknote, if you have silver tickets and cash, you can go there to exchange the Daming treasure banknotes and then buy tickets." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a window.

That's where the exchange of Daming treasure banknotes takes place.

That's right, when Li Xiao issued this treasure banknote, he didn't want to use it only in Beiping.

In the future, after his father-in-law Zhu Di ascends the throne, he can directly promote it.

Anyway, sooner or later, it is going to be promoted throughout the country, so the name is the Daimyo treasure banknote, the new version of the Daming treasure banknote!!

Because it has only appeared for three years, it has not yet been fully popularized, and it has only been popularized eighty percent.

However, the Daming treasure banknote is very stable, and there is no depreciation in the slightest.

"What? The new version of the Ming treasure banknote?? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who understood it, was numb, and his scalp was numb!!

Forget about the rest, now even treasure banknotes dare to print!!

Zhu Yuanzhang printed treasure money when he wanted to master the money system of the Ming Dynasty.

Once you control the money system, you can control the people of the world.

Although he failed and gave up.

But that doesn't mean someone else can do it!!

If you control money, you don't control the country???

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say angrily: "Who stipulated that Beiping could print a new version of treasure banknotes??" Don't you Beiping prefect Li Xiao want a head? ”

"How can you call our prefect by his name?"

This gong may have a kind of crazy fanaticism for Li Xiao, and said loudly: "In Beiping, the prefect is Tian, Li Qingtian, none of us listen, only Li Qingtian." ”

The voice fell.

The surrounding people also spoke:

"There is a Li Qingtian in Beiping, who is selfless and loyal and traitorous with an iron face!"

"That's right, since Li Qingtian came to Beiping, the lives of our ordinary people have changed dramatically."

"None of us listened, not even the emperor, only Li Qingtian."

Not only Yingong, but even other people also have a fanaticism for Li Xiao.

"Bold."

The second tiger was furious.

was about to wave his hand to take down these disrespectful Diao people, and this strange person with a gong around his neck.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to interrupt, indicating that he did not need to.

If the identity is revealed, the purpose of the secret visit will be changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang also suddenly understood why Li Xiao wanted to put the movie "Daming Li Qingtian" in various places in Beiping.

The content in the movie is all about praising and boasting about how iron-faced and selfless Li Xiao is in Beiping and making decisions for the people

He is trying to better control the minds of the people and achieve his own goals.

No wonder, no wonder this Peking has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It must be able to do it with a hundred calls.

In Beiping, Li Xiao's prestige had reached its peak, surpassing him as an emperor.

This kind of person only needs to raise his arms and shout, and I am afraid that he can immediately organize a powerful army of soldiers and teams, and he can turn the dynasty upside down

"Li Xiao, Li Xiao. Fortunately, we know your purpose, and you are still our grandson-in-law, otherwise you would not be able to save your head with this alone."

Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous heart disappeared in a flash, but he thought of inviting him to bow to Li Xiao in a few years, and he still owed Li Xiao a favor, so he pressed it again.

At least for now, he doesn't see a single citizen dissatisfied with life.

Instead, everyone had a smile on their faces.

"What kind of yamen are you?"

At this time, Erhu frowned and looked at the group of people in front of him.

The black clothes and the gong on the chest are very strange, does the Ming Dynasty have this yamen?

"From out of town, huh?"

The silver gong said with a smile: "We are watchmen, mainly responsible for maintaining public order, arresting crimes, and serving the people." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand and took his leave.

"Beat the Guard"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu and said, "Write down this watchman." ”

Li Xiao is really bold, and he has built a new yamen, it shouldn't be an institution like Jinyiwei.

No wonder someone impeached him and said that he would set up a brocade guard again and be the king and hegemon

Erhu nodded and took out his notebook to write it down.

"Let's go, go over there and have a look, even the Daming treasure banknotes have been printed for us, lawless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the place where the watchman had just pointed out.

The above on the window reads: Daming Treasure Banknote Exchange Office.

Erhu was a little disappointed, and his treasure money was really wasted

When you get home, you should throw it away as waste paper.

He walked up to the window and asked, "How do you redeem it?" ”

The guy in charge of the exchange said with a smile: "How much silver can be exchanged for how many treasure banknotes, cash silver, and silver tickets from well-known money banks can be exchanged." Treasure money for silver, silver for treasure money, can be exchanged at will, all of them are one-to-one exchange. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.

Can you redeem it at will?

The treasure banknotes printed by the imperial court before could only be exchanged for silver, and the treasure banknotes could not be exchanged for silver.

By the way, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought.

Five years ago, Li Xiao once talked to himself about the depreciation of treasure banknotes.

It is said that if you want the treasure banknote not to depreciate, you have to control the issuance of the treasure banknote.

Is this why it's linked to gold or something?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly: "Can the treasure money be exchanged for gold, and can gold be exchanged for treasure money?" ”

The guy smiled: "Of course you can, no matter how you change it, you won't lose money, the price of treasure money and gold and silver is the same." The three can be exchanged anytime and anywhere, in addition to our temporary site, there is also Daming Money Village in Beiping City, which can also be exchanged. ”

"Change!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang instructed: "Erhu, let's change it for a thousand taels first." ”

He wants to try whether this Li Xiao's Daming treasure banknote can be used at will in Beiping.

After all, when they implemented the Daming treasure banknote before, many people did not recognize it and did not accept it

"Yes."

Erhu took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and handed it over.

After the guy checked it, he confirmed the authenticity, and then took out a thousand taels of treasure money, "In order to facilitate your use, here are some scattered ones"

Erhu took the treasure banknote and felt different when he touched it.

It's small, very small, and it's lightweight.

The treasure banknotes issued by the imperial court used mulberry paper as the printing material.

The banknote is one foot long and six inches wide.

The unfolding is very large, with various security marks on it.

And this treasure is only the size of a palm, and the two ends are long.

The treasure banknote reads: Daming pass treasure banknote.

The denominations on it are different, they are: one hundred taels, fifty taels, twenty taels, ten taels, five taels, one tael, five coins, and one coin.

The two tigers counted the number, there were nine pieces of one hundred taels, one fifty taels, one twenty taels, two ten taels, one five taels, three pieces of one tael, three pieces of five coins, and five pieces of one coin.

The second tiger lit it and noticed that something was wrong.

His head began to sweat.

The number is no problem.

It is indeed a thousand taels.

But there is a big problem with the treasure banknote

The small amount is fine, and the pattern on it is a landscape.

On the large treasure banknote, there is actually a portrait printed on it.

This avatar.

Erhu didn't dare to look at it, and his forehead kept oozing sweat.

"Master Huang, this."

"What's the matter, show us."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the treasure money from Erhu's hand, and after a closer look, the whole person was stunned!

This treasure banknote feels very good, and there is a sense of concave and convex.

It's still printed with colored ink.

None of this is a big deal.

On the treasure banknote, the heads of their family are actually printed!!

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that his scalp was numb.

He flipped through the bills in his hand.

Twenty taels of silver, printed with Zhu Gaochi's head.

Fifty taels of silver, printed with Zhu Di's head.

And a hundred taels of silver printed on it is actually his own head.

It is worth mentioning that Li Xiao actually printed his own portrait and printed it on the denomination of a penny of silver.

is numb, Zhu Yuanzhang is completely numb!

This Li Xiao not only printed treasure money privately.

Even the family's avatars were printed.

Outrageous, outrageous!

"Master Huang, think about the good."

Erhu whispered on the side: "In this way, people all over the world can see your wise and martial appearance, and they can remember you for generations."

He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had a feeling that he was about to explode, and hurriedly found a reason to persuade him, so as not to hurt the innocent

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang eased up.

Stared at his own avatar in the hundred-tael bill in his hand in a daze.

Neither is it. It doesn't make sense.

The self on this banknote looks like he was thirty years old, and his appearance at that time was indeed wise and martial!

If this treasure can really be circulated and used, won't the world remember himself as the Hongwu Emperor for generations? ?

"Let's not talk about this for now, go buy a ticket to see what the train is"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around and saw that there were seats in the hall, so he sat down to rest.

Erhu went to buy a ticket with treasure money.

Two pieces of silver, two tickets were bought, and two silver bills were used.

When buying a ticket, Erhu suddenly found that Li Xiao printed his avatar on a piece of silver, which was deliberate, and the usage rate of this money was the highest

After a short time, he bought a ticket, and after the second tiger asked, he found that there was a time limit for the departure of the train, so the second tiger asked what time it was, and the guy replied: "Departure at nine o'clock." ”

Subsequently, the two tigers appeared: ????

The guy explained with a smile: "The prefect changed the time in Beiping from twelve hours to twenty-four hours, and there is a big bell tower in Beiping City, which is subject to the time of the bell tower. ”

said, and pointed to the side: "See, it's the clock, when the shortest hand reaches nine, it's nine, and the train departs on the hour." ”

Erhu turned his head and found that there was a big guy, how tall he was, the shell was wooden, there was a hammer swinging from side to side below, there was a disc and a long and short pointer on it, and after studying it, he found that this was the clock

"Mr. Huang's ticket has been bought, and it is nine o'clock to depart, which is this nine o'clock"

Returning to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Erhu explained: "Nine o'clock should be the beginning of the hour, and an hour has been changed to two hours, twenty-four hours a day."

"What???"

Zhu Yuanzhang was numb, and said speechlessly: "Even the time set by the ancestors has been changed??" How do you tell the hour? ”

"Master Huang, you see it's the clock over there."

Erhu led Zhu Yuanzhang to a big bell, "My subordinates have asked clearly just now, every swing of the pendulum below is one second, sixty seconds is one minute, sixty minutes is one hour, and there are twenty-four hours in a day." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he found that this clock was amazing.

"Now you don't need a sundial to keep time?"

You must know that in order to ensure the accuracy of the hour, the Ministry of Rites has a special timekeeping yamen, and there has always been a special person to record to ensure the accuracy of the hour

"How can this be timed? But what if the clock fails? ”

"Master Huang, everything is subject to the bell tower of Beiping City."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He said in his heart, Li Xiao has simply changed everything, how can he have so many strange ideas in his head

However, it is more convenient to divide the twelve hours into 24 hours, and it is too long for an hour to confirm the exact time.

And this clock is accurate to the minute

At this moment, a wealthy merchant dressed in silk came to the surface of the clock, and he looked at the clock and made a right thing in his palm.

Then he nodded and was about to leave.

"What's in your hand??"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw at a glance that there was a delicate little thing in his hand.

"You say this?"

When the wealthy businessman saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes were not ordinary, he was willing to talk, and said with a smile: "This is a pocket watch, looking at the hour." ”

As he spoke, he also showed off the delicate pocket watch in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately widened.

"Can you borrow it?" Erhu hurriedly said.

"Hmm" The rich businessman hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, but be careful, this one is more expensive, and there are not many in Quanbeiping." ”

When he spoke, he was full of pride, and owning this pocket watch represented a symbol of status.

Erhu took the pocket watch and respectfully handed it over to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and was stunned again.

Good fellow, this small and delicate thing, similar to the big clock, is also used to tell the time, so that you can see the time anytime and anywhere???

"How many taels of silver is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly moved his mind and wanted to buy it.

"Sorry, it's not for sale."

The wealthy merchant explained: "If you want to buy it, you can go to the watch store in Peking to buy it, and such a pocket watch will cost 1,000 taels of silver a piece." ”

"A thousand taels?"

Zhu Yuanzhang first felt expensive, but then he felt that it was not expensive at all, this exquisite and small object in his palm was like carrying a sundial, and it was the kind that was not afraid of rainy days.

"Hmph, we don't have to buy it, let's go to Beiping, naturally someone will send us."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart, when we go to Beiping, won't Li Xiao give us the best pocket watch? ?

Thinking of this, he gave the pocket watch to Erhu, who in turn returned it to the merchant.

As soon as the businessman heard this, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had a great background, and it didn't look like he was telling a lie, so he took out his business card, showed a smile and handed it over:

"Introduce yourself, contemptible Zhang Tiezhu, a member of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce, there is a large chicken farm in Dong'an County, we sell fat chickens and eggs, you are a foreigner, and the railway will be far away in the future, if there is a business in this area, you can introduce it, fortunately."

"Chicken farm?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and said, "I have the opportunity to visit." ”

The merchant said, "I'm waiting for you at any time, I don't know Your Excellency."

Erhu introduced: "My lord's surname is Huang, and he is in the grain merchant business. ”

The merchant smiled and said, "Master Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you, you have a lot of nobility at a glance."

At this time, a staff member of the railway station shouted: "Passengers, prepare to leave at nine o'clock, enter fifteen minutes early, please take your tickets and enter in turn." ”

Then, I saw that the people began to line up and enter in turn.

"Master Huang, come with me, I have a VIP card here, you can go through the VIP channel, wait for me to arrange for you to take the VIP car."

This businessman named Zhang Tiezhu warmly invited.

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head slightly and followed.

Xindao, this Li Xiao, also divided people into three, six, nine and so on

There are very few people in this VIP passage.

Through the VIP access, there is a platform blocking at the entrance.

Identification needs to be checked.

When he arrived at the VIP channel, Zhang Tiezhu reported his identity and took out the tooth tag to verify his identity, and the guy began to check the VIP quota.

The tooth card is a brand used to prove identity in the Ming Dynasty, and Li Xiao has not changed this.

"Zhang Tiezhu, VIP No. 0189, please enter."

The guy put Zhang Tiezhu in.

The iron pillar smiled and said: "These two are my honored guests, help register, I will lead them in, and the fee will be credited to my head." ”

The guy smiled, "Okay, no problem. Please report your name and take out your tooth card to register simply. ”

"Huang Ba, Wang Erhu."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang and Erhu took out their tooth tags from their pockets and registered.

Zhu Yuanzhang's tooth tag is a fake identity, while Erhu is real.

"Wang Erhu, a person from Nanjing, remember to go to the dormitory area to apply for a floating population certificate after entering Beiping, please come in."

After the guy registered, he put the two tigers in first.

Then start to register Huang Ba's huh. Huang Ba?

He frowned, the name was all too familiar.

Because the number one in the VIP brochure is the name of Huang Ba.

"This guest. Are you Huang Ba? ”

The man looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.

"That's right, we're Huang Ba, how about it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated: "Can't you enter?" ”

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

The guy immediately became very respectful, bowed down and said, "Master Huang Ba, you are our Tianzi No. 1 VIP here, welcome to your arrival." On request, you can travel on any of our trains at any time for free and in a SkyTrain. ”

The so-called Tianzi carriage is the one that Li Xiao's family sits, and other people can't take it even if they have money.

Hiss!!!

That Zhang Tiezhu gasped.

I actually made friends with such a character!!

I really didn't expect it, but I was so lucky

Tianzi car, Tianzi No. 1 VIP !!

Isn't this Huang Ba an old man's own relative of the prefect Li?

Make a good friend, you must make a good friend!

"We, Huang Ba, are the No. 1 VIP of Tianzi."

"This is prepared by that kid Li Xiao, he's still thinking about us."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a warm current, pouring into his heart, making his whole body warm.

When people reach old age, what they want most is to be cared for by their loved ones.

Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons are divided into various places and are not allowed to leave the fiefdom, rarely see each other, and lack the care of their sons.

And Li Xiao, who has not seen him for five years, has always kept himself in his heart.

This sudden scene reminded him of the time when he was in the courtyard with Li Xiao five years ago, and he remembered it vividly.

He still remembers us, remembers us.

"Hello Master Huang."

At this time, a guy came, bowed respectfully, "Please Master Huang and the little one. Please."

Tianzi No. 1 VIP, the treatment given is the treatment of Tianzi No. 1.

Escort service throughout the process!

"Lead the way." Zhu Yuanzhang bowed.

Under Zhang Tiezhu's surprise, he consciously followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and he, a VIP customer, could not enjoy such treatment

After passing through the passage and coming to the square, I was greeted by a behemoth.

Steam trains!

Steam locomotive, also known as steam locomotive, is the most elementary and oldest train that uses coal as the power and the steam engine as the core.

The train is pitch black, and the locomotive has a large chimney with a big Ming flag in front of it.

The outer skin of the eight carriages is painted in army green paint, and under the carriages are round wheels made of steel, hundreds of meters long, like a long dragon!!

In feudal society, I don't dare to imagine how this was made

"Oh my God, this train is so spectacular!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a voice in surprise.

The two tigers on the side were also stunned.

numb, Zhu Yuanzhang is numb again, and his scalp is numb!!

And there are many people in the square who are taking the train for the first time and are shocked:

"Is this the legendary steam train?"

"It's magnificent, it's magnificent, my God."

"The prefect is really a god, he can actually create such a big thing"

"That's not it, with this train, we ordinary people don't have to buy that expensive carriage to hurry, this train will soon be able to reach Beiping."

"Miracles, Li Qingtian, Li Qingtian!! Daming Li Qingtian! ”

"Beiping has our Li Qingtian, these days are getting better and better day by day."

There were even many people who knelt down on the spot and kowtowed a few times to the train!

For no other reason, they all felt too shocking, just like a fairy.

"Master Huang, it's the first time I've seen the train, and the contemptible person is also like you, but you get used to it after sitting too much." Zhang Tiezhu on the side chatted enthusiastically.

It took a long time for Zhu Yuanzhang to come back to his senses from surprise.

He pointed to the train and asked, "This iron lump is going faster than a horse-drawn carriage?" ”

"It's faster than a carriage, it's faster than a horse, and you don't have to rest."

Zhang Tiezhu explained enthusiastically: "At this time, it is only Beiping, I heard that when the railway arrives in Nanjing, it will be possible to go from Beiping to Nanjing in one day!" ”

Hiss!

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to quickly transport troops and grain to Beiping?

At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui spent countless lives to dig the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

It's for the grain transfer from the south to the north!!

And Li Xiao only had five years to create a train that was more efficient than the Grand Canal?

A spectacle of the ages, shocking!!

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt trembling and was pleasantly surprised!!

This train will be famous for eternity!!

"Master Huang, please move, this is the No. 1 carriage of Tianzi."

The guy bowed down and made a gesture of please.

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head and followed, he wanted to see what it was like inside the train and what it was like to sit up.

"Are these two friends of Master Huang?"

The guy looked at Erhu and Zhang Tiezhu, they were not Tianzi VIPs.

Zhang Tiezhu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang expectantly, and he also wanted to sit in this Tianzi carriage

"Yes, let them come along."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Erhu doesn't need to say it, this Zhang Tiezhu stayed, and he could ask about things later.

"Master Xie Huang." Zhang Tiezhu was very excited.

so

The three of them entered the Tianzi carriage.

This carriage is not called a train car at all, it is simply a room, with a soft carpet on the floor, a soft couch, a large bed, a seat, and a separate cook, man.

"Oh my God, this carriage is too luxurious"

Zhang Tiezhu, who saw the Tianzi carriage for the first time, was numb.

That's a lot better than a VIP car.

Zhu Yuanzhang found a table and sat down, while Erhu led Zhang Tiezhu to sit at the table next to him.

As soon as I sat down, a guy brought good tea, exquisite pastries, cut fresh melons and fruits, and good melon seeds and peanuts, all of which were served on the table.

And asked Mr. Huang if he wanted to eat something.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and refused.

"Oh my God, what a treat." Zhang Tiezhu's eyes were straight.

Of course, they also had one on the table.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat by the window, saw that the train was not moving, and asked, "When will you go?" ”

"Master Huang, in five minutes, the train will depart."

The guy immediately explained.

Waited patiently for five minutes.

suddenly

An extremely loud whistle sounded.

Woowoo————

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look forward to how the train would move.

Immediately afterward, I felt the whole carriage begin to vibrate.

The box is clattering

The frequency is getting faster and the train is getting faster.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting next to the car window, felt that the scene around him began to gradually recede, faster and faster, and a cool wind came to his face.

The box is clattering

At the back, the carriage had gradually stabilized, and the retreat had gradually blurred, and it had really surpassed the speed of the horses

Hurry, too fast!

If this speed is maintained, the distance from Nanjing to Beiping can really be achieved in one day

How exactly is this done.

Zhu Yuanzhang got up slowly, he thought to himself if he couldn't stand up at such a fast speed?

But when he stood up and walked around, he found that he was walking on the ground!!

"Good! That's great!! I didn't expect that such a divine object appeared in my Daming. ”

"This is a heavy weapon for the town! The heavy weapon of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Even if you are thousands of miles away, you can reach it in the morning and night!!"

"The tireless train that travels thousands of miles a day brings unimaginable changes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed in his heart, if there was such a thing, he could completely expand the territory and open up the territory of the Ming Dynasty farther!

"It's a pity. We're old, and we'll have to rely on the fourth child to do this in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang paced the armrest in the carriage, turned around a few times and then returned to the soft couch and sat down.

Pieces of clouds and wind flew in the rain, and they looked all over Kyushu in an instant.

Outside the Ying, listen to the sound of new water, and see the sky open in the distance.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but think of a poem he had written before, which was like such a poem.

In an instant, Tengyun drove the fog to see all over Kyushu, and at the beginning, it was just a clear ambition, but I didn't expect that now it can really be realized

Okay, great!!

Li Xiao, Li Xiao, we really didn't misread you!

No matter how bold you are, you are not!

A train more magical than the Grand Canal

This one can make all the mistakes!

"Master Huang, this is a letter, the prefect left it for the distinguished guest of Tianzi No. 1, that is, you left, saying that if the VIP of Tianzi No. 1 visits, he will definitely hand over this letter to you."

At this time, the guy on the train respectfully put the letter in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Letter? Li Xiao's kid left it for us? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, picked up the letter, waved his hand, and the subordinates next to him retreated one after another.

He opened the envelope, took out the letter, and his eyes fell, and sure enough, it was left by Li Xiao.

[Brother Huang, see the word like me.] ]

Looking at the words Big Rhubarb, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, sure enough, it was left to us by Li Xiao, and he continued to look down.

[Seeing this letter, it proves that the eldest brother has come to the people to investigate the people's situation in a private visit.]

It's been five years since we've seen each other?

The eldest brother once said that he would come to see the younger brother in a year.

But the younger brother waited left and right, and he couldn't wait for the eldest brother to come.

I haven't seen you for years, and I miss it so much!

As you can see, the city of Beiping has changed dramatically.

In the past five years, the younger brother has been working day and night for the new Beiping, and the younger brother has said that he wants to create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.

After years of hard work, I finally saw some signs in Beiping City.

Nowadays, Beiping has achieved learning and teaching, labor income, medical treatment, elderly support, and housing.

There are a lot of difficulties, a lot of opposition, and a lot of things that make me feel cold, and I have wanted to give up many times, but the younger brother gritted his teeth and persevered.

During this period, many means were used, and even the army was used to suppress it, and there was a painful period of time, but that was all in the past, as the eldest brother said, which change did not shed blood?

The law has a large span, and many of the big brother's systems have been completely changed.

I hope you will forgive me for this!

The next step is the National Well-off Program.

Let everyone in the world live a better life!!

There are so many things, too many words to say.

Big brother, little brother misses you!

After seeing this letter, after you visit Beiping, remember to report, the little brother knows that our good big brother is coming, and we must give you the best hospitality!

In addition, I hope you can live here with peace of mind, and we will live a good life!

Free time, recuperation, fishing.

When you come to Beiping, don't leave

—————— beloved little brother Li Xiao. ]

After reading the letter.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched it again, and after that, he couldn't speak for a long time.

My heart is moved

Li Xiao, Li Xiao.

You're so touching that we don't even know what to tell you
