Chapter 1699 Chapter 1695 The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains
With the continuous acceleration, everyone can soon feel the obvious feeling of speeding.
Glancing out the window, Zhu Biao exclaimed, "This speed is already faster than that of a galloping horse, right? I really didn't expect that such a big iron beast could be so fast."
"Actually, they can go faster, but for the safety of the emperor, I asked them to slow down a little." Han Du explained with a smile.
Zhu Biao nodded and looked out the window, looking at the scene in front of him in amazement. All the scenery that was rapidly retreating made him linger.
When Jie Jin heard Han Du say that he would not speed up any more, he slowly let go of his hands tightly holding the chair one by one. Only then did he realize that his palms were already full of sweat.
"My lord, since this thing is so dangerous, why would the emperor take the risk? If there is an eventuality, can you afford it?"
Zhu Biao was stunned by Xie Jin's words. To be honest, he was still very new to this train and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"For the safety of the Emperor, please order Han Du to stop immediately and return to the palace as soon as possible."
Xie Jin himself was afraid of this thing, but he chose not to say anything. Instead, he pretended to do it for the emperor's benefit.
Han Du understood the reason as soon as his thoughts changed, and he had to say that he was very disappointed with Xie Jin.
First of all, Xie Jin is too smart, but this has become his flaw. When he encounters a problem, he will not solve it immediately. Instead, he will retreat for the time being and wait for careful consideration before taking action.
Over time, he has naturally developed an instinct to avoid its sharp edges, and now he has an urge to escape.
Secondly, no matter what Han Du said, he was kind to Xie Jin. Even if Han Du didn't want to repay him, he couldn't add insult to injury.
But what did Xie Jin do? He didn't care about his past kindness at all, which shows his cold nature, which makes people feel cold.
"It's okay, I also want to take a good look at this train." Zhu Biao waved his hand to stop Xie Jin, then looked at Han Du and said with a smile on his face, "I believe that you, who have always been meticulous in everything you do, will not let me down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me. I feel honored to receive it." Han Du quickly returned the gesture with fists clasped.
Then he looked at Xie Jin and said with a meaningful smile, "If you have studied physics, you will know that there is no difference between us now and standing on the flat ground. It's a pity that you haven't studied it!"
After saying that, Han Du put his hands on the armrests to support himself and stood up straight. Under Jie Jin's stunned eyes, Han Du walked to the middle of the carriage and turned around casually.
All eyes are on Han
People couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window.
How could he stand up easily even though he was traveling at such a fast speed?
"Huh? It's really like walking on flat ground!" Zhu Biao also imitated Han Du and stood up, turning around and found that it had no effect at all.
He gestured cheerfully to everyone with his hands, "Get up and try it. It's really no different from standing on the ground."
The emperor wanted to get up, who dared to continue sitting? Everyone got up one after another, and soon found that this was indeed the case. Some people even got interested and even walked a few steps in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, there is no difference even when walking. It's really magical." Han Jingyun also took a few steps and said to Zhu Biao with a smile.
Zhu Biao also curiously asked Han Du, "What on earth is going on?"
"Your Majesty, this is the principle of the relative reference system." Han Du quickly explained.
"Oh? Can you tell me more about it?" Zhu Biao asked again.
Han Du had no choice but to explain to everyone. Fortunately, he had already explained it to the students in the academy countless times, and Han Du was familiar with it again.
"This is the difference in the reference system. When we stand on the ground, we see that the train is indeed moving rapidly. But when we stand in the carriage, the train is relatively stationary."
"For example, let's take the table and me," Han Du gestured back and forth between himself and the table, "as long as the table and I keep the same speed, then we will be relatively stationary to each other."
"The same is true between us and the train. As long as the speed is exactly the same, let alone walking, even if we jump, we will still fall to the same place, instead of being thrown out directly."
Everyone felt dizzy after hearing this, and seemed to understand but did not understand, but they did not dare to ask Han Du. Doesn't that mean that he did not understand?
"That's it," Zhu Biao understood, and he actually jumped a little.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing the Emperor's provocation, Xie Jin's heart was in his throat. It wasn't until Zhu Biao landed smoothly on the spot that he let out a long sigh of relief.
Among the people, only Fang Xiaoru was not surprised at all. He had known these truths for a long time, so what was there to be surprised about? He even didn't bother to take a second look from beginning to end.
On the train.
Yu Qian was holding a shovel and kept adding coal to the firebox.
After a while, he took a deep breath and rested with the shovel.
"Brother Yu, come and have a drink of water." One of Sun Xian's apprentices handed Yu Qian a kettle.
"Thank you." Yu Qian took a few sips and felt that the boiling feeling in his chest had calmed down a bit.
This man was much older than Yu Qian, but he kept calling Yu Qian his brother.
There is no way, there is no predecessor in learning, and those who master are teachers. Yu Qian has made rapid progress in the academy, and everyone admires him. Calling him "Brother Yu" does not seem out of place.
With the cool breeze blowing in his face, Yu Qian's spirit was highly invigorated, "Teacher's knowledge is really amazing, he can actually create such a miracle!"
"Hahaha, so I said that the real way is to work together with our machinery. Brother Yu is also a leader in the academy. How about we come to the workshop together and study machinery?"
Yu Qian glanced at it and said to this classmate who was trying to lure him into the machinery workshop, "The teacher said that making machinery is the use of knowledge, but knowledge itself is equally important. You can't put the cart before the horse."
"Sir, of course you are right, but for now, the use of knowledge is more important."
The two of them each had their own opinions and found that no one could convince the other, so they consciously put aside their arguments and each strengthened their own beliefs.
A giant black dragon kept blowing out white air and roared past on the flat ground.
Shanghai County, arrived.
When the train came to a complete stop, Zhu Biao stood up suddenly and was the first to rush to the carriage door.
As the carriage door opened, he was deeply shocked when he saw a huge deserted plain and the sea that seemed to be within reach.
"In an instant, the sea and the world changed. I really felt like Li Bai's boat had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, hahaha!" Zhu Biao laughed heartily.
Everyone walked out of the carriage and stepped on the solid ground. They all felt that the scene in front of them was a bit unreal. How long has it been? Have we arrived in Shanghai County from the capital?
But when they saw seabirds soaring in the wind on the sea in the distance, everyone had to believe it.
"Your Majesty, Wan Qing, the magistrate of Shanghai County, brings the county officials to pay homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor!" Wan Qing was about fifty years old and had a goatee.
"I pay my respects to the emperor, long live my emperor!" The subordinate officials following Wan Qing wanted to bury their heads in the soil one by one. Even if they were kneeling on the ground, they were trembling with excitement.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly, looked at Han Du displeased and said, "Didn't you say that the county government was not notified? What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, I definitely did not notify the county government." Han Du quickly explained, turned around and lowered his voice and asked Wan Qing, "What's the matter with you? Who asked you to come to pick him up?"
Wan Qing straightened up and replied confidently, "The emperor has arrived in Shanghai County. As the county magistrate, I, Tian, must come to see you no matter what for the emperor's safety."
His reason is very good. The emperor has arrived in his territory. If he doesn't come to pay homage. If something happens to the emperor, even ten of his heads won't be enough to chop him off. Moreover, if he doesn't come to pay homage to the emperor when he comes, then
How big should his rack be?
"I know that the emperor does not want to disturb the people. Please rest assured, the emperor. I have not asked the people to sweep the streets, nor have they come to pay homage."
Zhu Biao was slightly satisfied, and waved his hand, "You are considered sensible, so you can be fine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Wan Qing bowed again, he got up and stood aside.
Zhu Biao looked at the still desolate place in front of him and said to Wan Qing earnestly, "This will be a good place in the future. As a parent official of Shanghai County, you must seize this opportunity."
"Your Majesty, you are too worried. I don't need to worry here." Wan Qing followed closely with a straight face.
Zhu Biao suddenly became unhappy and said with a sullen face, "If this place is managed well, it will be a treasure land for you in Shanghai County in the future. As a parent, why are you so ignorant of progress? Or do you mean that you don't know the value of this land?"
Zhu Biao had seen the bustling scene of the capital's wharves and knew that such a place would inevitably become expensive in the future. When trains began to transport freight, the place would soon become prosperous as long as it was managed well.
Wan Qing cupped his hands and bowed, "Go back to the emperor, I know."
"Since you know, why are you so ignorant of making progress?" Zhu Biao was very puzzled.
Wan Qing straightened up and replied solemnly, "Go back to the emperor, because none of the land here belongs to Shanghai County."
"Whose is that?" Zhu Biao was surprised, "Who has such a good vision and can buy the land here in advance?"
"Prince Zhenguo!" Wan Qing looked at Handu very dissatisfied, with deep dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Han Du quickly lowered his head and smiled awkwardly. In fact, when he saw Wan Qing coming, he knew that something bad was going to happen. The reason why Wan Qing desperately wanted to come to see the emperor was probably because he wanted to sue him.
