What makes Sima Fang's master and servant even more unbelievable is that the wealthy masters sitting on the carriage did not hold back their identities at all and greeted them cheerfully.
"Go to work? How much money have you earned?"
"Not too much, not too much, just seventy or eighty dollars a day."
"Oh! Brother, you are amazing. You have been promoted to a senior technician so quickly, and you can make more money than me doing business!"
"It's not bad, it's not bad. I just read more books and went to an advanced technical school more than the others. It shows that our leader is right, studying can change your destiny!"
The wealthy family on the carriage said with envy: "It would be great if my two little girls could work so hard~"
The farmer brother comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, our girls are very good at studying. Just wait and see, your luck is coming!"
"I appreciate your good words." The wealthy man on the carriage clasped his fists gratefully and took the first step.
At this time, a burst of "ding-ring-ring" bells suddenly came from behind, and Sima Fang, who was on the carriage, felt the carriage under him move to the side of the road to avoid it.
Curiously, he poked his head out and saw a group of short-haired girls wearing ginger-colored Xu Jiajun military uniforms, riding on a two-wheeled iron frame that he had never seen before. He glared at his feet and came towards them in a hurry.
The wind in early winter was not strong, but the wind brought by the girls hit Sima Fang's face coldly, making him tremble with the cold.
"What is this?" he asked in surprise.
Such a thin iron frame can carry people as if they are flying.
Seeing the girls turning into the mountain pass at an extremely fast speed and gradually disappearing from sight, Sima Fang reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
The Xu Jiajun soldier driving the bicycle replied: "This is a bicycle. Those are the female correspondents of our communication camp. They should have new documents coming from it and are delivering them to the villages and towns."
bike?
It turned out to be a car! Sima Fang suddenly realized.
No wonder he saw two big wheels on the iron frame, which turned out to be cars.
Sima Fang and his close followers in the car looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.
This kind of shock is like the people at the end of the 19th century who suddenly saw foreigners driving out in cars on the quaint streets.
This is the soul-shaking impact of industrial civilization on primitive farming civilization, which makes people tremble.
Only then did Sima Fang realize that he had really arrived in Xu Jiajun's territory, a place that was completely different from the world he knew.
It was only a short half month from Xuzhou to Yuyang, but it seemed as if it had jumped directly across centuries and traveled to the future.
The carriage beneath him was the only thing that Sima Fang and others were familiar with.
Next, they will see a whole new world slowly unfolding before their eyes.
Not far outside Yuyang City is Xujiazhuang, the holy land most desired by Xu Jiajun.
Xujiazhuang has gone through four rounds of expansion, and its area is no longer the mere 700 acres it once was.
Xujiazhuang now includes large factories such as metallurgical factories, textile factories, kilns, and brick factories.
It has also established universities, markets, and residential areas, making it a large industrial park with relatively complete equipment.
The Sima family is a well-known family in the prosperous land of Henan. Countless ancestors have served as officials and have become prime ministers. The descendants of the entire family are very proud of themselves.
Sima Fang had eight sons in total, Sima Yi was the second oldest, and the remaining brothers were all very famous.
Because his name contains the word "da", he is known as Sima Bada in Kyoto.
And as Sima Fang, who trained eight masters, he is not a simple person.
As early as when Cao De was still a young leader, he took a liking to this young man and bought his original shares.
If Xu Jiajun hadn't been born out of nowhere, Sima Fang's choice was undoubtedly the right one, and in the near future, his son's son would bring supreme glory to the Sima family - the throne!
But for such a man, the tallest building he saw in his life was only the Yongxiang Palace in the old capital of Luoyang.
It was the residence of the Emperor and the tallest building in Daqing.
When the carriage passed by the tall iron gate of Xujiazhuang, the huge chimney towering into the sky appeared in front of everyone in Sima Fang.
The brick-red chimney is large at the bottom and gets smaller as it goes up, with a total height of 67 meters.
Human beings look so small under its feet.
White smoke continuously pours out from the chimney mouth. The scene was overwhelming to the ancients who came into contact with it for the first time.
The Xu Jiajun soldier driving the truck proudly said: "That is a brick factory. All the bricks produced here are used inside and outside the city. It can produce tens of thousands of bricks a day."
"The brick factories here in Yuyang are quite small. The largest brick factory is in Dai County. The soil resources there are rich and the terrain is flatter, which is conducive to the construction of large-scale brick factories."
After hearing this, Sima Fang opened the car door and took a look at the Xu Jiajun soldier who was speaking.
The soldier was actually younger than he thought, no more than eighteen years old at most.
But an eighteen-year-old boy can speak clearly and logically, which shows that he has read a lot of books.
"Old sir, what are you looking at? Do you want to relieve yourself? There happens to be a public toilet in the mining area ahead." The soldier asked suspiciously.
Sima Fang was now convinced that Xu Jiajun had not neglected him.
Otherwise, why would even the soldiers driving the carriage have read?
Sima Fang nodded to the soldier to stop the car and asked him: "Have you read a book?"
The soldier nodded, looking puzzled, wondering what was there to ask?
All volunteers who can join the Xu Family Army must at least have an education level that has graduated from an intermediate class.
Moreover, he is not just an ordinary volunteer soldier, he is a special soldier in a special battalion, and the senior class graduates are average in their battalion.
Sima Fang thought to himself, this is indeed the case.
He cast his fox-like eyes on the young leader at the front and asked tentatively: "What about him? Who is this young boy?"
The soldier glanced at Sima Fang helplessly, stopped the carriage in front of a square cement brick house, and gave a very official reply:
"Old sir, that's our captain Wang Jian."
"The public toilets are here, do you want to go down with you? There are some facilities that you may not be able to use when you are here for the first time."
Sima Fang was really surprised. He had used a high-end toilet made of rosin, but he still didn't know how to use a roadside hut?
A Jian looked at the stopped carriage, got off the horse, walked to the carriage, and said coldly:
"Follow me!"
With the captain taking the lead, the soldiers who drove the carriage did not need to accompany them. They gave the captain a military salute and handed over the task of going to the toilet to Sima Fang and others.
Sima Fang got out of the carriage with the help of his entourage and wanted to inquire about A Jian's identity.
But the young boy ignored him at all and led them in in a business-like manner.
Sima Fang secretly said: "This is a cunning little fox!" He followed in curiously.
