Another big thing happened in Hongye City.

Although major events happen from time to time in Hongye City, the legendary elves came yesterday!

But for many civilians, today's incident is even bigger than that of the elves!

The elves were arranged in a specific place by the city lord. As long as they did not come out on their own initiative, they were basically isolated from the world and had little to do with the civilians for the time being.

And now this matter is closely related to everyone!

That's the train!

Zhang Feng did not deliberately hide the word train, and many people know it.

This is a kind of transportation that is somewhat similar to a steam car but also has a very different difference - everyone who sees it says so.

But few people know the exact details. The train has been in the factory and has never been tested.

They only know one thing: this kind of train requires a special "train road" to walk.

Today is the day for train test drives and the day for "train roads" to be opened to traffic!

Logically speaking, this should not cause such a big sensation. After all, it is just a car. What kind of car does not have in Hongye City?

As for the issue of "train road", the entire Hongye City has used cement and concrete to build flat roads. If you come to some strange and magical roads, you are not surprised. After all, this is Hongye City.

So, besides these, there is only one thing that can make people sensation - the price!

Although there are many steamed cars in Hongye City, there are many more people in Hongye City now. There are only a few who can afford to ride steamed cars. Of course, except for buses, which only operate in the city.

In fact, it is not that I can’t sit still, but most civilians think there is no need to spend so much money.

If it is not considered a bus, the steamed car driving outside Hongye City usually takes eight passengers in one car.

As for the ticket, the minimum silver coin starts, and the upper limit is not capped, depending on the distance.

For most people, a silver coin is a "heavy money". Although their salary is much higher now, they were used to being poor before, so they had to save money!

After all, if you ride a carriage or a ox carriage, you only need to start with ten copper coins.

It's just a slower speed, a lower comfort, and a lower stature.

And this kind of train can go very far, and the starting price is only ten copper coins!

Although there are some restrictions, such as only a specific station can get off the bus, and other times will not stop, such as buying tickets in advance, departure on time, not waiting for outdated, even if there is a ticket, etc., for most people, as long as the price is cheap enough, everything else is not a problem!

If you can get into such a cheap car, even civilians can go to other places in the far north!

Many people may live in a small town all their lives, and even for generations. It’s not that they don’t want to go out, but they don’t have money to go out!

Going out for a long journey?

For them, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a luxury.

Therefore, when I heard that this kind of "civilian train" was about to be opened to train, the news spread rapidly in Hongye City. Countless people wanted to join in the fun and see if the train ran fast, had low prices, and was safe and stable as the rumored ones.

Zhang Feng had already expected this situation.

The location of the Red Leaf Railway Station is very empty, so you don’t have to worry about crowding and trampling, which is enough for everyone to watch.

However, Zhang Feng also stipulated that people cannot go to some places, such as on the railway tracks, safety awareness must be cultivated in advance.

"Wow! This is the train! It looks so strange!"

"So long, so big!"

"I finally understand why the train can take dozens or even hundreds of people. It turns out that it is because it is very long. I thought it would be like 'Red Leaf Steam No. 1'..."

"Hey, do this train have two heads?"

"It seems yes, why? Can you run backwards?"

“…”

The residents in the distance saw the train stopping outside the train station and discussed it with curiosity.

Shi Daqiang cleared his throat, waved to the driver on the train, and shouted at the top of his throat:

"The route from Hongye Railway Station to Yunhai Railway Station has been opened! The 'Pu Leng Zero 1' train was opened - start!"

Woo--

The whistle let out a harsh scream, a large amount of steam was sprayed out, and the wheels began to rotate.

"It's moving, it's moving!"

"What a loud voice, I like it!"

“…”

Under the expectant gaze, the train slowly disappeared in front of everyone in a burst of white smoke, leaving only strange tracks for everyone to comment.

"So this is called a rail..."

"Wow, it turns out that the train's wheels are stuck on the rails, which is so amazing! But... in this case, will the train derail?"

"Tsk, this has been designed by the Lord of the City. The Lord of the City must have thought of the problem you mentioned. Lord of the City must have a solution!"

"Yes, after all, he is the city lord..."

“…”

Erica smiled and said to Zhang Feng:

"Master Lord, everyone is praising you!"

"I'm just standing on the shoulders of the giant! Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Zhang Feng is very modest.

"Giant? What giant? Is there a giant in the world? Why do you stand on their shoulders?"

Erica asked curiously.

"Where are there so many questions? Go home!"

Zhang Feng knocked her in anger.

Erica lowered her head and stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, but she was still very curious about the issue of giants.

"Daqiang, I'll leave it to you here. Don't have any problems. When the train comes back, you can report it to me."

Zhang Feng patted Rat Daqiang's shoulder and said.

"Yes! Ensure the task is completed!"

Rat Daqiang quickly promised to arrive.

Zhang Feng left in a special car, but the people did not leave. They were still very curious about the train. Even those idle people were ready to stay here to see when the train would come back.

Time flies, three days later at noon.

Woo--

Although a loud whistle sounded, the train that made people missed was finally back!

"I'm back home, the train is back!"

"I'm finally back, it's not in vain for me to wait for so long!"

The inspectors in the car showed the data along the way to Rat Daqiang.

"Very good, there are basically no problems. Some small errors are within the scope of the city lord's permission. Let me tell you that the train needs to take a day off. If there is no problem, tickets will start selling tomorrow!"

"yes!"

After saying that, Rat Daqiang didn't care about being excited, so he quickly sent the report to Zhang Feng.

At this time, Zhang Feng was playing golf in Yue Hidden Village.

Yueyin Village is naturally the name he gave, with the purpose of giving these elves who left their hometown a spiritual sustenance.

In fact, Zhang Feng was thinking too much, and the world tree of the Moon Shadow Elf’s family could also move, so they often change places. They don’t miss homesickness, but just miss the world tree.

Because the place they divided was big enough, and the elves liked nature very much, this place was a vibrant place in just two or three days.

Zhang Feng, who had a rare rest, brought over a "noble sport" - golf.

Not to mention, in the green grass, the appropriate breeze and a handsome pose, it really feels very good when you swing your pole gently.

But only at this time.

After telling the rules of the elves and beast-eared ladies, Zhang Feng was nothing to do.

"I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore, you guys can play!"

Zhang Feng handed the club to the cat-eared girl with a happy look on her face.

"Thank you, Master!"

Seeing the women accurately hit the ball into the hole, Zhang Feng, sitting on the recliner, looked desperate.

If it is a game that relies on IQ, Zhang Feng can kill all the people with reasons they are not familiar with for the time being. However, Zhang Feng cannot compete with them for such games that require physical fitness. In addition, Zhang Feng is also a half-baked person, and he has now become a background board.

Even the cat-eared girl who had just started it was much better than him.

"Sir, this is a trial opening."

The rat Daqiang trotted over and handed the documents to Zhang Feng.

"Yeah, not bad."

Zhang Feng flipped through it, there was no big problem, he looked up and asked again.

"What about Yunhai City?"

"Reporting to the adults, the craftsmen praised the adults' design drawings, saying that they had never seen such a big ship in their lives... Our pier has been built and everyone is ready. Now some of the materials are missing. As long as the materials are in place, the construction of the big ship can start at any time!"

While the Rat Daqiang flattered, he also told the report in full.

"good!"

Zhang Feng nodded and said to Erica who was grinding coffee next to him:

"Erika, you go to the factory and get the materials to Yunhai City. The construction of the big ship can begin."

"yes!"

After the two left, Zhang Feng was a little expectant and didn't know how long it would take for this steamboat to be built. The famous craftsmen in the entire far north were poached by him at a high price. With the assistance of orcs and steam engines, I believe it should not be very slow.

...

The next day.

Red Leaf Railway Station.

The crowds are full of noises.

There are even many people who have families with their families, and they have no other meaning, just want to feel what it feels like to take a train.

"Don't be crowded, queue up in order, there are many positions!"

The sheriffs maintain order.

Everyone obviously doesn't believe the sheriff's words.

Hongye City is now in the period before the crops matured. At this time, everyone is generally idle. Just like now, in order to take this super cheap train, hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the train station alone, not to mention those on the road.

The train is only in those locations, which is definitely not enough!

But no one dares to refute it if they don’t believe it.

It was not until they bought the ticket that they spoke in surprise:

"Why is the No. 5 car on it? If I remember correctly, this 'Pullen and No. 1' does not have a No. 5 car? Could it be that I am sitting in the front of another car?"

"Uh... As you said, my ticket for carriage No. 6 is sitting on the roof?"

"Carriage No. 8 is crying and fainting under the car..."

“…”

Faced with the discussions of everyone, a staff member immediately came out to explain:

"Last time, because it was a trial opening, there were only three cars. Now it is officially in operation and there are currently ten cars!"

“Can it increase even more?”

"So that's it, then it seems that the license plate is indeed enough!"

“…”

"But I don't want this number eight. Can I want a number three? I like the number three!"

Someone asked.

"Of course, you can choose to refund the ticket or change the ticket, but if you want to choose a carriage number 3, you need to add more money."

"Why?"

"Because the following carriage 4 is an ordinary seat, and carriage 4 is a dining car, you can come here to order food. Carriage 3 and carriage 2 are second-class seats, and carriage 1 is first-class seat, so the prices are different. First-class seats are the highest price and ordinary seats are the lowest price. As for the differences between various seats, there are instructions there, you can go and take a look."

Listening to the staff, everyone hurried to check the instructions. They didn't know if they didn't look at it, and they were shocked when they saw it.

The ticket price for ordinary seats starts with ten copper coins, the second-class seat starts with one silver coin, and the first-class seat starts with an amazing gold coin!

The reason why it is so expensive is that the number of passengers and service inside is different.

Ordinary carriages can accommodate about a hundred people, one person per person, and there are certain regulations on the size of the gifts each person carries.

The second-class carriage can accommodate about fifty people, with no single seat, four people, or six people. It can effectively isolate the noise, have its own privacy space, and even sleep. The restaurant will provide certain fruit snacks.

And the first-class carriage only sells ten tickets.

Everyone has a lot of space, and everything inside, including food and beverage, is provided by a dedicated person, and there is no need to pay extra.

As for why only ten tickets are sold instead of limiting ten people, it is because this ticket can be brought up, after all, there is a lot of space inside.

In addition to the owner, you can take two extra people to a ticket without paying.

...

The introduction to the carriage is actually not much, and many things cannot be explained clearly, so I can only experience them myself.

Although everyone wants to take this first-class car, the price is too expensive. If you go to Yunhai City, it will not be a sky-high price!

"No one should buy such an expensive ticket, right?"

Someone said.

"No one is sure... few people buy it!"

The other person originally wanted to say that no one would buy it, but he was afraid of a slap in the face, so he said that there were not many people.

As a result, the facts were slapped in the face.

In just less than two minutes, these ten most expensive tickets were sold out.

If it weren't for the fact that the ticket was purchased manually, it would probably take less than three seconds!

Those who bought those tickets were all merchants and nobles.

Everyone sighed enviously, but they were not discouraged. So what if you have money, you have arrived with us?

Behind the ticket window, there is a small house with several large "iron boxes" in it.

There were red and green lines on the iron box. Some staff members sat in front of the iron box and made a sound.

This is a radio, which Zhang Feng got from Hyundai.

This thing does not require satellites. It mainly uses ionosphere reflection to propagate, and the propagation distance circulates the planet. In another world, this thing is definitely a magical tool!

Because the train ticket is quite special, it needs to be connected to the Internet, but there is no network here, so Zhang Feng can only use radio instead.

Compared with modern networks, this is definitely not as slow as possible and even prone to errors, but for the other world, it is already very good now.

When the passengers got off the bus, they saw someone sitting in his seat, and they would probably be so surprised that they couldn't stop.

Zhang Feng brought radio a long time ago, but this required a learning process. Zhang Feng selected some elite backbones and taught them the method.

Now it finally comes in handy.

If it performs well on the train ticket system, Zhang Feng will be put into use throughout the Far North.

Only then did he dare to say that he truly controlled the far north!

But it's still early. Zhang Feng's next goal is to build large ships, and to develop electricity.

Nowadays, radios use batteries, which are enough for radios, but for Zhang Feng, it is definitely far from enough.

Not to mention it, as long as the entire Hongye City can be powered on, Zhang Feng will be very content.

But Zhang Feng didn't know much about electricity, so he had to study it and see what is the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to use it to generate electricity.

Three days later.

The profitability of the train has been counted.

"One trip is only one thousand gold coins, so few!"

The cat-eared girl looked at the list and said subconsciously that she had been in Hongye for a long time, and she could also describe her "only" as "only".

But when she saw the speechless eyes of Zhang Feng and others, she felt embarrassed to hand it back to Zhang Feng.

"This is quite a lot. After all, people are not full, and with only one car, it will definitely not be too high. But you have to think about it, if we open ten trains, even twenty, fifty, and one hundred, how much profit will we make?"

Zhang Feng said, knocking her little head.

"It seems to be..."

The cat-eared girl opened her mouth slightly. If there were 100 vehicles, wouldn’t it mean that she could get a gross profit of 100,000 gold coins in three days!

Oh my God, is this robbing money?

Of course, she also knew that the accounts could not be settled like this. There were many factors, such as seasons, population, etc. But this still surprised her.

Not to mention Cat Ear Girl, but others, those who are used to Zhang Feng’s magical aspects are also surprised.

It seems that for Zhang Feng, making money is as simple as eating and drinking water. You can make a lot of money by making something casually!

...

...

The train was running better than Zhang Feng expected.

Because there are not many people and the route is relatively single, there are basically no mistakes.

Many people came to the railway from Yunhai City to Hongye City.

The legend of Red Leaf City has long been spreading in the extreme north. Almost no one doesn’t want to go to Red Leaf City to see it. However, due to the relatively tight money, we can’t go too far. Now it’s different to have cheap trains. Even if they are poor, they can afford to pay.

The abortion in Hongye City ushered in a slight increase.

At the same time, while lords from all over the country were busy building roads, Zhang Feng took a two-pronged approach, not only the highways but also the railways began to be built on a large scale.

Although the extreme north is relatively cold and has few resources, Zhang Feng also has one advantage here, that is, the terrain is flat and there is no too rugged terrain.

When building roads, almost no matter how you open mountains and build bridges when you encounter water, you have ever seen any incidents.

As long as Zhang Feng doesn't want to build the highway and railway to the other side of the Sunset Mountains, he will basically not encounter too many difficulties.

Even if you encounter it, send a dozen or dozens of orcs over there, what can’t be solved?

A miracle is done!

And the elves also helped a lot in this.

It has to be said that the talent of the moonshade elves in communication with grass and trees is simply a bug.

For example, in a deep pit, Nora took out something and buried it on the ground, and then made the surrounding trees grow wildly. In less than a minute, the "natural" bridge built by trees appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Feng finally understood why the trees in Yueyin Village were all the images of houses. This intuitive feeling opened his eyes.

Red Leaf Calendar, 1 year, late July.

Three more railways have been repaired.

There are more concrete roads.

It is difficult to combine technology with the power of "magic".

The entire far north has changed drastically.

When Zhang Feng was engaged in construction, he did not forget the younger brothers who supported him at the time.

Anything that is exposed in the cracks of your fingers is enough for them to eat for a long time.

In order to build the far north in his mind, Zhang Feng was not stingy. For example, the train station was built by Zhang Feng.

After all, they are poor, Zhang Feng understands that, so Zhang Feng gave them loan business.

The interest rate is not high, only twenty points.

This is already very low in other worlds.

Zhang Feng was willing to lend money to them, which made them cry. After all, they were not stupid. As long as they had money, they would definitely invest in this 100% business!

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Feng established a bank in another world - Hongye Bank.

However, the bank has not yet been officially disclosed to the public and is only serving those lords for the time being.

When the right personnel are almost recruited, Hongye Bank will be officially open for business.

...

In July and August, the entire far north was very lively.

Because many roads are open, the population of Hongye City has experienced its biggest outbreak.

In the past, there were less than 2,000 humans and orcs, but now they have directly increased to more than 9,000!

unprecedented!

But Zhang Feng was not too happy.

Because he felt that these populations seemed to have reached their limit.

It is not the limit of Red Leaf City, but the limit of the extreme north.

...

...

Red Leaf Calendar, late August 1.

The crops planted around Hongye City have turned yellow and the harvest season has come.

In the past, it was a time for every household to guard against horse thieves, but now, let alone Red Leaf City, even the entire extreme north, there was no such trouble.

Because horse thieves are already a thing of the past.

Even if there are some fish that miss the net, they dare not act openly, otherwise they will be taught by the "Steam Car Corps" that comes in minutes.

Looking at the plump wheat, rice and other crops, the farmers all laughed and the harvest this year was definitely much higher than in any previous year!

No more worrying about not having enough food to go hungry!

The benefits given to them by the city lord are ultimately welfare. Only these tangible food can make them feel more at ease!
Chapter completed!
