The person in charge of the exhibition hall is Liu Guang, Minister of Industry and Commerce, former shopkeeper of the connoisseur firm. Liu Guang warmly received Zhang Hao and introduced 'partners' to Zhang Hao.

However, after Zhang Hao saw the "partner", he was stunned for a moment: I'll wipe it, a circle of princes! And everyone is too polite? Among them, there is even the prince of the country of vicissitudes.

But after Zhang Hao came in, everyone got up one after another, including all the princes, everyone looked at Zhang Hao's gaze, and they were more or less respectful.

There is no prince in the country of Qixia, but there is one in the country of Qixia...... Iron Duke!

As the influence of the "Iron Duke" steel battleship sea trials spread, the words "Iron Duke" also spread.

During this period of time, Zhang Hao has been busy with domestic development, promoting the industrial and commercial progress of the country of Qixia, promoting the development of Dayang Group, Luzhou Bank, etc., and has no heart to care about the outside world.

But the outside world is spreading the legend of Zhang Hao!

Zhang Hao, in the eyes of many people, is a veritable iron duke! Not the kind of iron rooster, but a man like a pillar of steel and a pillar of the country. Now in the country of Qixia, if everyone traces back to the source, it will be traced back to Zhang Hao.

There are many, many legends about Zhang Hao, and some of them can be regarded as myths. When he was born, the shadow of a steel battleship appeared on the sea, and a rainbow of nine colors appeared in the sky. In addition, there is also the relationship between Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu, many of which have noses and eyes.

More legends, of course, are about navigation. The Iron Duke used steel and black iron to open the lifeline of the green sea of death!

Today's West of the Fertile Land Continent has been completely affected by the country of Qixia, and it is Zhang Hao who has created this influence.

However, there are also some well-intentioned people who have spread some kind of uneasy remarks. For example, the power of the master and the like, such as ...... Zhang Hao is accumulating strength, preparing to push back strongly, and so on.

In short, in just over a month, Zhang Hao has become a legend. And the most important thing is that Empress Liu Xinyu is still inspecting the whole country with confidence, and there are no restrictions on Dayang Group, Zhangjia, etc. Even in this exhibition, Dayang Group has a considerable stake.

Zhang Hao was frightened by everyone's enthusiasm - the princes actually had a feeling of chasing stars, they always felt a little unrealistic, Zhang Hao just stood at the door and was stunned.

Or Liu Guang will play a round, the former shopkeeper of the royal family firm, is really good at dancing with long sleeves. He laughed, "Just now we have all discussed Duke Zhang, and Duke Zhang is here." Come on, come on, everyone sits, Duke Zhang is here, he can't run. ”

Everyone immediately laughed, and the atmosphere became lively. No, Yan Xiao, the crown prince of the country of Yanyun, was the first to speak: "I'm thinking, what should I call you? Duke Tie, or the Minister of Marine Development, or the president, the head of the Zhang family?"

"That's too raw, just call me by my name. ”

"No, no, no, it's more important to call the name!" Yan Xiao smiled, "Or, call Mr. Zhang." ”

"Your Highness likes it. Zhang Hao did not dwell on this issue, greeted each other with everyone, and began to go straight to the point, discussing the arrangement of an exhibition.

There are still nine days to go before the exhibition starts, and so far, there are still some small questions about how to arrange the inside of the exhibition. Fortunately, there is still time.

Holding a document, Liu explained: "We currently have two main ways of arrangement, one is to divide by region, including by country. There is also a division according to industry. However, at present, how to divide the industry is still a little unorganized. ”

Zhang Hao took the document and looked at it, frowning slightly. "Minister Liu, that's what I think about. We are here to do this exhibition to promote business development.

So I think it should be divided into two major areas: the production area and the commercial area. ”

"The production area is mainly for those who have their own independent production capacity, while the commercial area is for commercial banks, etc., which are mainly responsible for transshipment of goods.

Each region is divided according to the relationship between different industries.

For example, a group that provides raw materials for smelting, a group that produces black iron, and a trading house that uses black iron to produce magic weapons.

In addition, the new industrialized products, the magic weapons of the past, alchemy, etc., should be divided separately, but these core industries should be gathered together for everyone to visit and compare. It is also convenient for each production group to compare with each other and understand their own advantages and gaps. ”

"Exhibitions, I think, are more of a service than just a business. We should be responsible for the relevant personnel of the exhibition, enterprise groups and firms. ”

"In this exhibition, in order to better serve the exhibitors and visitors, we will not allow the exhibitors to arrange it alone for the time being, and we will arrange it uniformly. All kinds of inconveniences can only make everyone bear more. ”

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, everyone nodded one after another, and many princes looked at Zhang Hao's eyes even brighter. Look, we have been fighting and discussing the problem for a long time and have not been able to get a satisfactory arrangement, and Zhang Hao has arranged it in a few words. The phrase 'this is more of a service, not just an ordinary business' made everyone sigh and sigh.

In the next few days, Zhang Hao and Liu Guang worked together, coupled with the efforts of many staff here, and finally arranged all the exhibitors. In general, it was carried out in accordance with Zhang Hao's proposal, and for foreign exhibitors, a separate area was demarcated, so that everyone could arrange it by themselves.

The main reason is that most people in China have no objection to Zhang Hao's arrangement, but there are many problems abroad. Many foreign trading houses are controlled by nobles, clans, sects, etc., and at this time, these guys still maintain the arrogance of the past, and they maintain a little hostility towards the country of Qixia, a country that has no nobles.

In the end, Zhang Hao ignored these guys, and each country divided a district, so arrange it yourself. Anyway, the most important thing in this exhibition is to develop domestic industry and commerce in ancient and modern times, and to show the goods of the country of Qixia to foreign countries.

As for foreign goods, there are really not many that can be purchased by the country of Qixia. Most of them are excellent and rare spiritual materials, medicinal materials, etc. There are very few varieties.

There are only three days left in the blink of an eye, and the exhibition is about to begin. But there is one thing that has attracted everyone's attention - the exhibition position of the Zhang family and the Dayang Group is still empty - it has been divided, and the people of the Zhang family and the Dayang Group have personally participated, but none of the products have appeared.

After all the commercial banks and large and small enterprises were arranged, everyone looked at the remaining vacant land of the Zhang family and Dayang Group, and they all talked about it. I don't know what the Zhang family and Dayang Group are playing.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Hao finally spoke in person and invited everyone to watch in front of the exhibition hall - the items of the Zhang family and the items of Dayang Group will be delivered in the afternoon.

"It's only here in the afternoon, what are we going to see this morning?" Liu Guang was puzzled, could we not let us stand in front of the exhibition hall until the afternoon?

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "This morning, the railway was laid here. ”

"The railway?is it the kind of road paved with ordinary black steel?" Liu Guang was curious, of course he had seen this railway, but until now, he felt that the railway was a little ...... Loser!

"Let's go, let's see. In the afternoon, the goods of Zhangjia and Dayang Group will also be delivered by railway. ”

Zhang Hao took the lead and walked out, and Liu Guang and the others thought about it and followed. Then there are people from the Zhang family, people from Dayang Group, and even more people. In the end, it caused a leading effect, and countless people followed and poured out.

Then you can see that thousands of migrant workers have already appeared at the end of the road. These migrant workers are wearing the Zhang family's uniform work clothes and are already busy.

In each group, there is a person in charge with Little Red Riding Hood.

The sound of rammed earth can be heard from afar, but the tools used by the migrant workers have changed and become "large ritual tools". One by one, the magic weapons made of dark iron, like the magic weapons of war, are driven by spirit stones and manipulated by relevant personnel, quickly ramming the earth.

Numerous houses have been demolished along the way, leaving a 50-meter-wide blank space.

There are also flying magic weapons in the sky, bringing clay and gravel.

In front of them, a migrant worker controls a machine that digs more than two meters under the ground, and then backfills the excavated soil with clay, ramming the earth while backfilling, and finally ramming a road with a width of 40 meters. In the rear, a large number of suspended flying magic instruments carried a large number of stones appeared, and the migrant workers spread the stones along the ground of the rammed earth just now, forming a gravel 'embankment' with a width of 35 meters at the top, a width of 45 meters at the bottom, and a height of about one meter.

In the rear, there are flying machines that bring a large number of I-beams up to 15 meters long - the rolling technology has advanced again, and a large number of large square timbers more than four meters long - sleepers.

The flying machine lowered the rails, sleepers, and railroad fasteners, and the craftsmen (not migrant workers) began to get busy. They proofread the directions, arranged the sleepers, placed the rails, and made sure that there were no problems, and began to apply the screws. Then the sleepers are half-buried with stones.

Two railways, three meters wide and spaced about 1.5 meters apart, are rapidly stretching towards the exhibition hall.

With the help of spells and other aids, the construction speed is beyond imagination.

The migrant workers at the front have already begun to dig a pit in front of the exhibition hall, and a deep pit with a radius of 100 meters and a depth of 6 or 7 meters has been dug out. Iron pillars were rammed into the ground, all the way to as many as three meters.

The scene of ramming the iron pillars was very shocking, and the iron pillars with a length of five meters and a thickness of almost 60 centimeters were smashed into the ground, and the earth trembled.

The sonorous ramming sound and scene attracted countless attention.

After the iron pillars, the earth was rammed, seals were added to the waterproofing, and finally steel brackets were added to the iron pillars.

Within a radius of 100 meters, more than 50 iron frames were rammed, and these thick iron frames composed of I-beams were more than 10 meters above the ground. Craftsmen began to add beams between the shelves and lay steel plates to form different floors.

By noon, a station, an underpass, and an overpass above ground had appeared. Although it is still very simple, the speed of construction still shocks everyone, and the construction scene is even more shocking.

At around 14 p.m., the railway passes through the station, and a barrier rises at the station - there is no time to decorate it for the time being, so it is easy to make an enchantment. In fact, there are no buildings inside the current exhibition hall, just an enchantment that has been added to protect against wind and rain.

There is an enchantment, which is really a good means to be lazy!

After the railway passes through the station for 100 meters, it begins to cross into a '×' shape, and on both sides of this glyph, there are straight rails passing through, as if two verticals were added on both sides.

Here, there is also a simple set of track switching devices, and there is a special person to guard it. The construction of the railway has continued to extend to the east.

By about 16 o'clock in the afternoon, it was winter, and the sky was already a little dark, and the railway, which had just calmed down, suddenly heard a faint roar. Then there was a melodious whistle.

Gradually, the roar turned into a clang, and a robot monster lying on the railroad appeared in the distance.

The rails are three meters wide, and the locomotive is only three meters high, so if you remove the height of the wheels, it looks a little 'flat'. It looks like you're lying on railroad tracks.

"The exhibits of the Zhang family and the Dayang Group are here!" Zhang Hao smiled a little proudly. Laying railroad tracks in front and transporting things in the back, such a miracle is that this world can appear, using spells, formations, and cultivators to build, the speed is really fast.

There was a slight screeching sound of brakes, and the heavy locomotive rushed out hundreds of meters and gradually drove into the station. The chimney above the locomotive, and a faint black smoke wafting

At this time, everyone saw the goods behind the locomotive, and many people suddenly opened their mouths, and more people also faced up to the transportation capacity of the rails for the first time!

Behind the locomotive, five buckets with a length of about 15 meters were hung – exactly the length of the current steel beams.

The first trailer is directly a flatbed truck, on which a super cargo is fixed with iron cables - the first ironclad ship of the Zhang family, that is, the model of the iron ship with a length of more than ten meters!

This is the first time that the Zhang family has exhibited a model of an ironclad ship made of ordinary black iron, with a three-meter-high mast. This ironclad ship is 10.6 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, 1.6 meters draft, and weighs 12 tons. It is driven by a spirit stone turbine.

Although this iron ship is a model, it is more than ten meters long after all, and it is still a little shocking to be dragged all the way from the seaside to here.

Seeing the vertical side of the ironclad ship again, rows of fist-sized rivets, etc., still makes people feel a kind of roughness and strength of steel and industry.

On this section of the tow, there are not only boats, but also artillery.

Later there are small steam turbines, weapons of war (such as ballistas), profiles, and some production types of machines that were previously built on railways.

On top of that, on the outside of the equipment box on the last bucket, there are two big words written: Machine tool!

Yes, this time, Zhang Hao dragged the machine out. Of course, the machine tools on display are relatively simple - but this simplicity is aimed at the Zhang family. Others want to copy the machine tool, but it will not be too simple, maybe the cost price will be ten times the price of the machine tool sold by the Zhang family, and the accuracy can not be reached.

At the end, there is another locomotive head.

The people of the Zhang family and the Dayang Group were busy, and everyone used spells to carry these equipment into the exhibition hall, and the train was emptied after a while. The train starts again, and when it enters the crossing track in front, the train changes the train by switching tracks.

Then, the two locomotives in front and behind the train change the direction of transmission, and the train begins to go backwards - in the opposite direction, and gradually accelerates and moves away rapidly.

Without waiting for everyone to marvel, they saw the second train coming, and the train was still five tows, plus two locomotives in front and rear.

This time, the trailer carried a large number of iron ingots of black iron and steel, as well as a large number of profiles - such as I-beams, steel pipes, steel plates, etc. There are also barrels of diesel, naphtha, etc.

After that, another train arrived, but this time it was a carriage type and carried a large number of passengers. When the doors opened, countless passengers who had experienced the train for the first time poured out of the carriages and rushed into the exhibition hall.

Liu Guang, as well as the princes of various countries, as well as countless businessmen, etc., looked at it with bright eyes. At this point, they no longer felt that the railway was a waste. This time alone, they felt the convenience of the railway.

This time it was the transport of goods and passengers, and what if the next time the war baggage was transported, the soldiers were transported?

Think about what it would be like if one day in the future, the whole country of Qixia was connected to the railway.

And at this time, the crown prince of the country of Jinyang had a slightly unsightly face - at this time, he thought of the conditions of the country of Qixia when he first negotiated - the right to build roads!

The strength of the railway has brought a different atmosphere to this exhibition.

Before the exhibition officially began, the booths of Zhangjia and Dayang Group were overcrowded, and a large number of goods were booked out. From this moment on, the two locomotives were not idle, constantly transporting various commodities from the Dayang Group and Zhangjia.

Before I knew it, it was another night, and in the midst of great anticipation, the exhibition finally officially began. Liu Xinyu slowly walked up to the high platform and looked down at everyone.
