Entering the Daimyo's Mansion, Dai Deyi felt dazed.

The post station here has been replaced.

"The current railway transportation has replaced the post station, and the Kanhe of the imperial court can still be used, but you need to go to the railway station."

The site of the inn was rented out, and it was converted into a restaurant, which became a place for merchants.

Dai Deyi's face was full of incredulity, and anger gradually rose in his heart.

This is a restructuring.

The government of Peking was able to agree, and Dai Deyi really couldn't understand it.

The post station, like the tendon of the country, is the foundation of the imperial court's management in the local area, and it is unshakable.

Dai Deyi didn't say anything, but quietly followed the direction pointed out and went to the Daimyo Mansion Railway Station.

Here, Dai Deyi saw the railway.

It was lively on the platform.

As the terminus of the railway, it is indeed prosperous.

Several railway staff rushed to receive Dai Deyi and the others warmly, and the staff were a little surprised when they saw the soldiers behind Dai Deyi.

There were officials from the imperial court who came to Beiping, and the officials of Beiping often left Beiping, and they were used to the confession process.

But I have never seen it, and there are officers escorted by soldiers.

They didn't know why, so they cautiously approached Dai Deyi, who did not embarrass everyone, but acted according to their rules.

"It's still early, should I stop here or take the train to Quang Binh Province?" The staff said with a smile.

Dai Deyi couldn't help but look at the sun, the sun was already in the west.

"You can arrange it."

"Normally, I would take a railway train to Quang Binh Province and settle down." Staff introduction.

"Okay."

Dai Deyi wants to see what the hell is going on.

The soldiers were confused.

It's already so late, how can you go on without accommodation.

Because of the "specialness" of this pedestrian, the Daimyōfu Railway Station sent a staff member to lead them on the train to avoid accidents.

In the waiting hall, in a separate room, after less than two quarters of an hour, the staff led them to the platform.

There are several railroad tracks under the platform, and there are wooden chairs for passengers to ride on the platform, and a shed has been built on top of it.

A white steaming "iron object" approached from a distance, and the soldiers who had seen it for the first time were frightened and panicked.

The staff tried hard to reassure them, and looked at the strange official curiously, but they didn't move.

The train gradually stopped, and people looked carefully, and the huge front of the locomotive was all made of iron.

"Uncle, it'...... It can run on its own. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy soldier pointed incoherently ahead.

The veteran was also surprised and couldn't answer.

This is the departure station.

People began to board the carriages.

"They themselves went to the belly of the monster." The young soldier whispered. "We're not going to go in too."

And sure enough, they went in.

The staff invited the official, but the official was not timid, and the soldiers who escorted them could only follow timidly.

In the first and second carriages.

They leaned on the window.

"Click, click."

The fear just now has disappeared without a trace, only curiosity and amazement remain.

The train is relatively smooth.

The view from the window recedes all the way back.

"Oh my God."

The veteran couldn't stop sighing.

The young soldier was the most courageous, and even stuck his head out and was pulled back by the veteran, not because he was aware of safety, but because he felt more in awe of strange things.

This is the embodiment of the prudence of this land since ancient times, the wisdom of the people.

Dai Deyi looked at the train, this is not the legendary railway carriage at all, it seems that there are new changes in Beiping.

The staff was very quiet, did not bother Dai Deyi, and did not even have the heart to investigate.

The situation is unclear now, and it will not change.

In the early evening, the train arrived at Yongping Railway Station.

There is a guest house next to the train station.

The staff led them to the guest house, which provided food and hot water, as well as a room to live in.

"It's the Imperial History."

The steward of the guest house was originally the person in charge of the post station, and with the elimination of the post station, some of the qualified personnel were absorbed.

As for the people who were in forced labor, they all went back to their homes, and they only needed to give birth with peace of mind.

The steward judged the identity of the person through Kanhe, and it was unbelievable that this person was accompanied by a sergeant.

"It's terrible, it seems that he is coming to deal with us in Beiping again." The steward got the word out.

The soldiers ate the dinner provided by the guest house, which consisted of steamed buns, noodles, and pickles.

They devoured and ate with their stomachs open, and the bellies of the young soldiers who ate bulged, "Don't eat, be careful to support yourself." ”

The veteran slapped the young soldier, and the young soldier put down the dishes and chopsticks in pain and did not go to the basin to add food.

"It seems that Dai Yushi still has face, and we can follow it." The veteran sighed, thinking in his heart that this was the preferential treatment of the guest house.

In the rest of the station, they don't have so many good things to eat, let alone eat them with a free stomach.

The guest house provided the soldiers with a large bunk room, which was not spacious, but it was clean and tidy.

There was also hot water for them to wash up, and there were teapots and teacups in the house.

"The teapot and teacup will be boiled and sterilized, so please feel free to use it." After a detailed introduction by the staff of the guest house, seeing that the soldiers had no extra questions, they closed the door and left.

Dai Deyi pulled the steward of the guest house and asked some questions curiously.

"Although the post station has been cancelled, the function of the post station is still retained, and it is more efficient and convenient than before."

"I heard that there will be a post office in the future."

"Post office?"

"In the future, not only will official documents pass through the post office, and there will be no need for special people to run away, and ordinary people will also be able to deliver letters through the post office."

The steward of the guest house was very respectful, which was the old custom.

Dai Deyi couldn't help but doubt, "Maintaining such a scale is not a trivial matter, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources." ”

"I heard that after the research of the Research Division, the production efficiency and circulation of the society have been greatly improved, and it is generally conducive to social development."

"I can't imagine that a small guest house has such a talent as you." Dai Deyi sighed incredulously.

"Haha." The steward couldn't help but laugh, "I don't have any skills, it's just what the newspaper says." ”

Dai Deyi became more and more curious, thinking that there was nothing in the world that he didn't know, but when he first came to Beiping, there were still many things that he couldn't understand.

Early the next morning.

The guest house even provided breakfast.

The soldiers happily ate their stomachs and had a better impression of Beiping.

Then they got back on the train, and this time they were no longer nervous, but happy and full of anticipation.

The train passed all the way through Shunde Mansion, Zhending Mansion, Baoding Mansion, and then entered Beiping Mansion.

Zhuozhou Railway Station in Peiping Province.

It took only two days to travel thousands of miles, including the time to stop and wait at the station.

Zhuozhou was not far from Beiping City, less than two hundred miles, but Dai Deyi stopped instead.

This railway trip made Dai Deyi have to rethink.

The changes in Peking are so great that Dai Deyi sees the power of it.

The myth of traveling 800 miles a day has spread to the people here, exceeding Dai Deyi's imagination.

How is this possible?

He wanted to stop his steps, carefully observe Beiping, and seriously ponder his task, the failure of his predecessor Ye Xixian sounded the alarm in his heart.

Zhuozhou is the gateway to Beiping City.

The third battalion of the Zhuozhou New Army was stationed here.

Starting from the school in Daxing, 300 children carried flags and arrived in Zhuozhou by railway train to participate in social activities.

The senior students went to visit the factory.

Junior students come to the barracks.

These children, who are leaving their homes and schools for the first time and going far away, are getting acquainted with the world with smiles and joy on their faces.

The school's musical instrument team is at the front, beating and playing a variety of instruments.

Behind him was the flag-bearer.

Flag-bearers carry flags of various colors.

Fairness is paramount in school, and any activity is subject to selection.

These flag-raising children, in the eyes of the spectators on both sides of the road, are full of spirit and meticulousness.

The children who played the instruments had a pride on their faces that they had been recognized by society.

There are also the children who are accompanying behind, who envy the children in front of them, and look around excitedly.

There are also children who are lost in their hearts.

It's a pity that their specialties can't be shown, it would be nice if they were in the sports meeting, and they would be the ones who would be in the limelight at that time.

The sound of the drums is so exciting, the sound of the flute is so long, and the sound of the horn and the sound of the bamboo piano......

"In the vast sea of people...... Which one am I. ”

The children sang in unison.

They wore the school's free uniform, made of fine silk, with puffy hats on their heads and leather boots on their feet.

School uniforms and shoes, hats, are bound to be the best.

It is silk and cowhide.

China Heavy Industries doesn't care about profits, they give the best to their children.

It doesn't matter if the child's family is poor or rich.

But as long as it's in school.

They are the richest people in the world in terms of material and spiritual, and the resources of China Heavy Industry are invested in the military, but the education at this stage has not been reduced because of the control of scale.

Young children, relying on their hazy consciousness, feel respect and recognition, and the society's expectation and love for them.

They sang the songs taught to them by the school, and each child's face was full of confidence and vitality.

This is not a shout, but the effect of cultivating real money and silver, piled up with material and spiritual.

"Which one am I in the rushing waves?"

The children were dressed extravagantly, and the people on both sides of the crowd felt unfair, let alone undeserved.

They looked at the children with smiles on their faces and listened carefully to the children's singing.

Because these are children from the homes of the people.

"In the army that conquers the universe, I am the one who silently dedicates!"

People giggled.

There is a new daughter-in-law holding the baby in her arms, facing the direction of the students, trying to let her children look at the students.

"Look at it, you want to go to school like your big brothers in the future."

The young new daughter-in-law made a beautiful vision for her child, who had just come to the world for two months.

And Dai Deyi, who was in the crowd, looked at the front distractedly.

Those young students, with the fullest mental outlook, walked in front of him one by one.

The young soldier behind Dai Deyi took two steps back with low self-esteem, hiding himself in the crowd, not wanting people to find him.
