Fengxian Bus Station was built in the past two years.
With the continuous expansion of the scale of the automobile industry, automobiles have slowly begun to enter people's lives, and the earliest of them is this kind of long-distance bus.
Because of its fast and convenient characteristics, long-distance buses became popular in the Ming Dynasty as soon as they appeared. Apart from trains, long-distance buses are now everyone’s favorite way to travel between various places in the Ming Dynasty, especially in places where there are no trains.
It's very popular.
The fare is not cheap, but there are many people taking the bus.
At this time, a long-distance bus drove out of the bus station with its loudspeaker blaring. It was a long-distance bus heading to Kaifeng, Henan. Kaifeng, Henan has a train station and it is also a central station. You can go to all parts of Daming. It is best to take the train.
That is to arrive at Feng County first, and then transfer to the train.
"The changes in the Ming Dynasty are so great!"
"When I immigrated to Heitu Province, I still walked to Kaifeng. It took me several days to reach Kaifeng. Now there are long-distance buses."
"Sitting on this long-distance bus is very relaxing. It's fast and relaxed. You can arrive in Kaifeng in the afternoon."
Sitting in the car, feeling the wind blowing from the window, Li Da also sighed.
The changes in Ming Dynasty are really great. In just a few years, there are already long-distance buses in my hometown.
"This car is really a good thing. It's so fast. I don't even have to walk when I go out."
Carpenter Li looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window and sighed.
I was already prepared to walk all the time, but who knew I was actually sitting in a car now? The speed was too fast.
"Yeah, it's really a good thing!"
Lu Mengjiang also sighed.
Only after leaving the mountains did I realize that the world outside was really different.
These roads are all spacious cement roads, not the rugged mountain roads in the mountains at all. I can finally understand some of what Li Da wrote in the original letter.
Sitting in the car, they soon left Feng County. After crossing the Qinling Mountains and gradually entering the border of Henan, the road began to become straighter and the land began to turn into a plain, an endless plain.
“It’s developing too fast!”
"I remember that when I first went out, the cement roads had not yet been built to Feng County. I didn't expect that now they are all covered with cement roads."
"Now there are only a few towns and villages that do not have cement roads."
"There are more and more new houses on both sides of the road, and they are becoming more and more beautiful as they are built."
"There are already a lot of cars and motorcycles on the road, they are everywhere."
Li Da looked at everything on both sides of the road carefully, and the scene when he immigrated came to mind.
It was not as good as it is now. There were not so many roads built, many houses were still old-fashioned, and there were relatively few cars and motorcycles driving on the roads.
Because they just came out, these cars and motorcycles were very expensive, and only the truly rich could afford them. But now, times have changed.
In just six years, everything has changed so fast.
There are many more cars and motorcycles on the road, and they can even be seen everywhere. The prices of motorcycles and cars have also dropped a lot, and they are gradually entering thousands of households.
By evening, Li Da and his party had arrived in Kaifeng.
"Li Da, when you went out, didn't you say that it took you several days to reach Kaifeng?"
"We have arrived in Kaifeng in just 2 days."
Carpenter Li remembered the letter Carpenter Li had written to him before, and asked a little strangely.
"Dad, times have changed. Now we have cars when we go out. Of course, the speed is fast, and people are very relaxed."
"When I immigrated, I could walk to Kaifeng on two legs. Of course, the speed was incomparable. Moreover, the entire cement road had not been built at that time. Many places were still the same old way.
Old official way."
Carpenter Li replied with a smile.
Looking at Kaifeng in front of us, it is completely different from a few years ago.
A few years ago, Kaifeng was not as lively as it is now, especially since it was almost evening, and electric lights started to light up everywhere in Kaifeng.
Electric lights have begun to enter thousands of households. This is incomparable to the Black Soil Province. Currently, only a few big cities in the Black Soil Province have electricity.
For immigrant towns, there is still no electricity.
At night when the electricity is on, the city becomes brighter and more colorful. There are more people in the commercial street at night than during the day, and it is extremely lively.
Li Da also took his parents and parents-in-law to go shopping in Kaifeng's commercial street to see if they could buy something.
"Oh, don't people in this city sleep?"
"It's so late at night when I go shopping. I'm so full that I have nothing to do."
"Isn't that right? And this electric light is really magical. It's very bright, almost like daytime."
"Yes, it's really bright, and this store is as bright as the emperor's palace."
"Oh, things here are so expensive, so expensive. This pair of shoes actually costs hundreds of pennies. What kind of shoes are these? They are so expensive!"
"Also, these clothes are very expensive. I really like this piece of clothing. It costs one tael of silver. It's too expensive. With that kind of money, you can buy cloth and make dozens of clothes."
"That's right, the food here is also expensive. If that pastry costs more than ten cents, who would buy it?"
The four old people felt very fresh about shopping, but when they saw the prices of the things, they shook their heads and said bluntly that the things here were too expensive and they simply couldn't afford them.
They have been in the mountains all their lives, and have seen the bustling commerce outside, a dazzling array of goods, all kinds of novel goods, etc. Everything is very new, but the price is unacceptable to them.
Li Da kept following, with a smile on his face.
Thinking about it, when I came to Kaifeng, I just passed through some places, and my legs were sore from walking. When I got here, I fell asleep in the inn and left by train the next day. I had the leisure time to go shopping there.
As for the things being expensive, Li Da thought it was okay. He still had a lot of money in his hands, but the four old men refused and felt there was no need to spend the unjust money.
I rested here in Kaifeng for one night. The inn where I stayed now has electric lights.
There is no way, industry competition is like this. Inns and hotels must keep up with the trend of the times, and electric lights are also indispensable.
Naturally, this cost a little more, and the result was that the four old men complained that there was no need to stay in a good inn. However, when it came to the comfort of the inn, they nodded and said that it was indeed better than at home.
It's more comfortable, especially the mattress bed, which is very comfortable.
Get on the train and head towards Black Earth Province.
The train is much more comfortable than the car, especially since the one Li Da bought was a sleeper. After lying down and having a good sleep, the train has gone a long way.
Along the way, Li Da also looked at both sides of the road carefully.
Compared with the past, Ming Dynasty's development seems to be faster and greater in recent years.
There are all kinds of machinery in the fields, and traditional farming methods are no longer visible.
In the city, there are more high-rise buildings, more factories and workshops can be seen, and more and more roads are being built, winding to the end of the field of vision.
The railway directly to Black Soil Province has also been opened, and there are two lines to choose from. The northern line takes Central Asia Province and Northwestern Province, passes through the Ural Mountains and then passes through Ryazan to go directly to Mocheng. The railway is even still going to
The city of Houzhao on the Baltic Sea coast was repaired.
The southern line passes through the Hezhong area and Nanyun Province, then crosses the Caucasus Mountains from the west side to the Sea of Azov, and along the Black Sea coast to Mocheng.
Dafeng Town, where Li Da immigrated, now has a direct train connection. You can reach it directly by train. You no longer need to transfer to the Black Sea and take a boat as before.
The transportation is very convenient and the speed is very fast.
Taking the train, we passed through the deserts, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands of the Western Regions, and then passed through the fertile Hezhong area, arriving at the wine country of Nanyun Province, and then began to enter the vast black soil province.
With the unremitting immigration over the years, the population of Black Earth Province has also increased. There are already immigrant towns in many places. When you look over, they are all boundless wilderness.
But the vast Black Earth Province is still sparsely populated, and most places are still uninhabited areas. You can see herds of wild sheep and horses freely enjoying the lush water plants, and hear the whine of the train.
Suddenly, groups of people were running across the wilderness, and the scene was very spectacular.
Time passed day by day, and finally arrived at Dafeng Town, where Li Da was located.
Compared with the simple town when the immigrants came here, today's Dafeng Town has also changed greatly, becoming larger and larger, with an increasing population.
"This is Dafeng Town, we've finally arrived!"
