Chapter Seventy-Five, On the Train

Jiang Yan's departure naturally caused speculation among many people in the courtyard.

Some people said that Jiang Yan made a mistake and was arrested.

Some people say that Jiang Yan found his family and left.

In short, they all have their own opinions, He Yuzhu and they remember what Jiang Yan said when he left, no matter who asked, they were all tight-lipped.

But the only bad thing is that He Yuzhu and Xu Damao have teamed up to basically harm everyone who says bad things about Jiang Yan, and smashing glass at night is almost a routine operation.

At this time, Jiang Yan had already taken the train to Moscow.

Now there are only two ways to get to Moscow, one is by plane and the other is by train.

There is no need to think about the plane, and it is difficult to say whether the flight is open or not.

It's just that you dare to sit, and you will understand when you look at the future generations of RH, they are the masters of civil aircraft as fighter jets.

Now there is no direct train to Moscow in Sijiucheng, only Manchuria.

If you want to go to Manzhouli, you can only go to Tianjin and take the train. I don't think the speed of the train is as fast as in later generations, and the speed is only 50 kilometers per hour.

Starting from Tianjin, it is necessary to pass through Tangshan, Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Shenyang, Siping, Changchun, Harbin, Daqing, Angangxi, Boketu, Hailar, Manzhouli and other places.

It took almost two days to get from Tianjin to Manchuria alone.

Fortunately, the state arranged a soft sleeper for Jiang Yan and them, if they sat on a hard seat, it would be a lot of fun.

However, the train from Manchuria to Moscow is not every day, and unfortunately the time they arrived in Manchuria was that the last train had just departed, and the next train was two days later, so they could only stay in Manchuria.

Manchuria is familiar with a county where Hulunbuir City goes down. Located in the northeast of NMG Autonomous Region and the northwest of Hulunbuir City, it is located in the transition zone between the Hulunbuir Plateau and the Daxing'an Mountains, with a temperate semi-arid continental climate, bordering SL in the north, and is a national land port city.

In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1901), the railway station was established on the western line of the Eastern Eastern Railway, which was named "Manzhouli Station" because it entered the first station in Northeast China (commonly known as "Manchuria" at that time) from Russia, and was "Manchuria" in Russian, which was transliterated into Chinese and became "Manchuria".

Today, Manchuria is not the country's first land port city in later generations. It's just an ordinary border city.

In this, Jiang Yan experienced what it means to be frozen for thousands of miles and snow drifting for thousands of miles.

It's already March, and at this time Sijiu City is basically the season of early spring, in addition to being a little cold in the morning and evening, the temperature is basically around ten degrees, and the cotton clothes have basically been taken off and changed into light clothes.

Like Manchuria now, the temperature here is basically around minus 20 degrees, the snow outside is still melting, and there are still large pieces of ice in the river.

At this time, the city of Manchuria is now very small, and according to Mr. Wu, who led the team, the population of the entire city is less than 30,000, which can be regarded as a vast and sparsely populated area.

There are almost more than 10,000 kilometers from Manchuria to Moscow, and it will take at least 10 days at the current speed.

Jiang Yan, who had been repaired in the hotel in Manzhouli that day, received a notice and started boarding the bus at 7:29 in the morning.

Early in the morning, Jiang Yan packed up his things and went out with Cao Bin, Zhang Jiachen, and Li Xiaoqiang, who lived in the same room, and joined the team in front of the hotel.

After the leader of the team counted the number of people, they lined up in a neat line and walked towards the railway station in Manchuria.

Thirty minutes later, Jiang Yan and the others boarded the train to Moscow.

Jiang Yan and his group of international students are taken care of by the state, and all of them are soft sleepers.

Walking into the sleeper, Jiang Yan found that the soft sleeper in this era is not much different from the soft sleeper in the green car in the last world.

There are four berths in the soft sleeper box, two up and two down, and the width of the bunks looks about one meter, which is more spacious and thick than the narrow hard sleeper.

Between the two bunk beds is an aisle about 1.5 meters wide, and at the top is a table with two hot water bottles on the table, which are already filled with hot water. Each sleeper is illuminated by a small lamp at the top.

The sleeper toilet and water room are located at each end of the carriage.

It may be a coincidence, or it may be that the superior has arranged it, and the person who is assigned to the sleeper private room with Jiang Yan is still the person who is in the same room as him in the hotel, and because of Jiang Yan's young age, he was taken care of by them and assigned to the lower bunk.

In the past two days, because he lived in the same room, the eldest Cao Bin was five years older than Jiang Yan, and they were all young people, so they quickly became one.

"I heard that it takes tens of thousands of kilometers from Manchuria to Moscow, so we estimate that we will be on the road for half a month!" Cao Bin opened his mouth as he put the box.

"It's about 11,000 kilometers, and it would take 10 days at the current speed." Li Xiaoqiang, who was on the top bunk of Jiang Yan, opened his mouth.

"That's long enough, my mother was afraid that I would be hungry on the road, so she specially steamed a lot of nests for me, and put a lot of brown sugar in them!"

Cao Bin said and took out a small bag from the backpack he brought on the bed, opened it and distributed the nest inside to everyone, and Jiang Yan also took one.

"I have pickles from Liubiju here, as well as sesame baked cakes, you can taste them."

Jiang Yan also put the things he carried on the table for everyone to taste.

Then Zhang Jiachen and Li Xiaoqiang also took out their own things.

"Alas! I've heard that we're going to study abroad for 600 rubles a month! ”

Li Xiaoqiang ate melon seeds and said.

"So much, how much is it if it is converted into RMB."

Cao Bin asked curiously.

"It's almost more than 16 million yuan," Jiang Yan replied.

The ruble was quite valuable during this period, and the Soviet Union carried out monetary reform after the CL monetary reform. The gold content of the ruble was set at 0.987412 grams, and the exchange rate against the dollar was determined at 0.9 rubles per dollar.

During the same period, the exchange of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar was 1 U.S. dollar to 26,000 to 27,000 yuan.

That is converted into rubles to RMB, which is basically about 160,000.

"Oh my God! My mother's salary is less than 800,000 yuan a month, so my monthly allowance is higher than my mother's annual salary. Zhang Jiachen got up directly from the bed and opened his mouth in surprise.

The state's subsidy for this international student is quite high.

"Our monthly subsidy is estimated to be the income of a village in China in a year, which may not be as high as this."

Cao Bin said sullenly.

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

According to Jiang Yan's understanding, some of them have even lived in the countryside for a long time, so they know more about the hardships in the countryside, and they also know that the country is in a period of poverty and whiteness.

Since the country has invested so much, all of us here can only study hard and use what they have learned to serve the country is what they should do.

I guess everyone here has this awareness.
