Chapter 266 264. The black dragon flying across the earth
The sunshine in the morning of September is no longer as hot as in July and August. The gentle breeze blows over the cheeks and ears, which is very pleasant.
Early in the morning, Aunt Zhao had already packed up her carriage, hitched her family's horse, called her niece, and headed out of the city.
In the first half of the year, a large building started to be built outside the west gate. Because of Miss Ruan, she had been paying attention to the news here and heard that it was used as a train station.
She had no idea what a train was, but she thought that with Miss Ruan's ability, she always felt that this should be a very powerful car, definitely more powerful than a carriage, and could pull at least a dozen people, right?
In her opinion, this is great!
In the past few days, loudspeakers in the city have been saying that the Qinghu Railway will be completed and opened to traffic today, and the opening ceremony will be held today.
This ceremony even alarmed Governor Ren, it must be very powerful!
It must be very lively today!
She was driving a carriage, which was full of people doing archery and snaring. They would join in wherever there was excitement. It would definitely be better to make money in a place with a lot of people.
Sure enough, as she had guessed, when she arrived in front of the two-story red brick train station located ten miles outside the west gate of Qingcheng, the place was already packed with people.
Counting Qianqian, there are tens of thousands of people coming here!
Even the small soil slope not far away called "Qingqiu" was full of people.
There was a lot of noise and a lot of people.
Some people came to see the excitement out of curiosity and wanted to see what the train looked like.
Some people come on pilgrimage to pay homage to the immortals and want to feel the immortal spirit.
With so many people crowded here, fortunately Baihu had already sent a regiment of soldiers here to help maintain order, so that no unexpected incident would happen.
“No stalls allowed here!”
Aunt Zhao had just packed her things outside and wanted to set up her archery stall, but soldiers immediately came to stop her.
"oh."
Aunt Zhao looked around and saw that no one was setting up a stall. She didn't dare to tell the soldiers apart. She tied the carriage not far away and left it to her niece to look after the carriage while she headed towards the mound over there.
There are heads everywhere, but the view on the mound is better over there!
She was also very concerned about what the train made by Miss Ruan would look like.
Is it a burning car?
Or a car that breathes fire?
Or a god's vehicle shrouded in flames?
She fantasized about all the possibilities of the train in her mind.
At this time, Ren Pingsheng, Ruan Tang, Xiaowan, Liu Wen, Wu Qiong, Lu Yingying and a group of attendants came to the interior of the train station.
"The train will depart from Qixing Manufacturing Factory in a while and stop at Qingcheng Town Railway Station. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at that time."
Wu Qiong said.
Next to him, there was a short man in his thirties named Li Yinxiang. He was formerly the deputy director of Qixing Manufacturing Factory and was later transferred to the director of the Railway Bureau of the Department of Highways. He was holding a walkie-talkie at the moment.
The arrival time of the train is being carefully planned there.
"The Liusha River Terminal in Hukou Town has just been opened for a month, but the cement road leading to Hukou from Qingcheng Town has already become the busiest road.
When the train opens to traffic, the goods from Qingcheng Town can be directly transported to Hukou Town for shipment, and directly transported to Dongyang County for distribution!
By then, it will definitely boost the economy and trade in Qingcheng Town and towns along the route."
Lu Junyi also came here today as an attaché. He said excitedly as he watched the extending train tracks disappear into the horizon.
As a businessman, he understands the significance of transportation for commerce!
Trains not only represent speed, but also represent strong safety, high efficiency, large quantity, low cost, and high comfort. It is a subversive revolution!
"Then the railway bureau itself can make a lot of money from this route."
Wu Qiong said with a smile.
This is a good thing for the Highways Department.
Ren Pingsheng said: "The money earned from the railway should not be spent elsewhere. It should be used to continue investment and fully roll out the railway network."
"That's what my lord said."
Wu Qiong said quickly.
He knew very well about the laying of the railway network.
In the development plan, the lord mentioned the construction of the railway network many times, which was a top-level design he personally made. In order to find out what the lord valued, what the lord's career development direction was, and what the lord's bottom line was, Wu Qiong
, he read it carefully more than ten times!
Principles of construction of railway networks.
First, wherever the army fights, railways are built. This is to deliver troops and materials to the front line, ensure the supply of military supplies, and reduce logistics losses.
The second is that power will spread wherever the railway is built. This is to expand power and influence. According to the plan, the railway line, at least in Wuzhou Province, will be fully rolled out in the next two to three years.
"Woo~~~"
Suddenly there was a distant, high-pitched, and extremely penetrating whistle! While everyone was chatting, it suddenly came from an extremely distant place.
Ren Pingsheng stood up from his seat, walked to the edge of the platform, and looked in the direction of the sound.
We haven't seen the train yet, but the black smoke billowing up in the sky has already broken into everyone's eyes.
Just after noticing the black smoke, the train behind was already in a distant place and entered the eyes of the people gathered at Qingcheng Railway Station.
"Wow!"
The people on Qingqiu first saw the train emerging from the horizon, like a black dragon coming from afar.
One moment they looked at it, it was still far away in the distance, but the next moment it had completely broken into their eyes!
On the vast plain, the black train, like a black dragon, came with unstoppable power, like a rolling torrent, and stopped people for a moment!
The people were stunned to see it.
"Evil, evil dragon!!"
On Qingqiu, someone suddenly shouted in horror.
But while people were shocked and stunned for a moment, the train spewing black smoke had already approached Qingcheng Town.
It was obviously so far away just now!
With the sound of the whistle that sounded like a dragon's roar, the train began to slow down, and with the sound of "pants...pants...pants", the ground shook.
This so close and shocking feeling made many people feel that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
In the crowd, Lu Xiaoshan looked at the train speeding from far away, his face was so shocked that he couldn't help it. He remembered the first video class he had just entered the Hanlin class, the train speeding through the vast land and high mountains, it was a kind of...
The feeling of dreams coming into reality was a bit trance-like for a moment.
"The dragon is coming!"
"The dragon is going to eat people!"
Some people were scared out of their wits and yelled.
"Don't be afraid, everyone!"
Lu Xiaoshan shouted loudly.
He is now practicing martial arts with his eldest brother Lu Feihu, and has already developed the dark power. At this time, his lungs are bulging, his fascia is exerting force, and his voice is like Hong Zhongda Lu, which immediately suppresses the sound of a large area around him.
"The evil dragon has been killed by the governor a long time ago. This is a train..." He looked at the confusion on the people's faces and knew that the people did not know the principles of trains at all. He also knew that they could not have the insight to understand trains.
He turned around and changed his words: "The dragon soul was surrendered by the governor and entered the human world to serve as chariots and horses for the people, benefiting the human world, and reforming through labor!"
"Oh~"
When he said this, the people immediately understood and were no longer afraid.
After all, he was brought into the mortal world by the Governor's surrender. When he thinks of the Governor's power in slaying the dragon and becoming a saint, and then looking at the black dragon flying across the earth, what else is there to be afraid of?
Looking at it this way, the evil dragon that turned into a train has a black dragon head, blowing out dark clouds, its long body, driving two railways, and roaring with dragon roar, which is really unparalleled in power.
This is Longwei!
"The train has a total of 20 carriages, each carriage is 20 meters long, and the total length is 400 meters. The maximum speed is more than 90 kilometers per hour, and the normal speed is around 75 kilometers per hour."
Ruan Tang talks about the train parameters like a treasure trove.
For her, making such an ancient locomotive is simply too easy! If it were not restricted by the industrial base, she could directly build a high-speed train with her own knowledge reserves and electromagnetic power!
Even this locomotive was modified by her.
Otherwise, ordinary steam trains are not so high in terms of power and energy utilization, and naturally they cannot pull 20 carriages!
"If this train is used to pull goods, how many tons can it pull at one time?"
Ren Pingsheng asked curiously.
Ruan Tang estimated: "It can pull more than 400 tons at a time when used to pull goods."
Four hundred tons per trip means a force of 50,000 people on the front line. One train trip is enough to feed the troops for two days! War is all about logistics. In future wars, as long as the railway is laid to the front line, the logistics baggage will be almost eliminated.
Transportation costs.
"Lord!"
While Ren Pingsheng was whispering to Ruan Tang, Wu Qiong walked over quickly.
It turned out that the person in front had finished speaking and it was his turn to speak.
Ren Pingsheng took the microphone and strode out.
There is a huge terrace outside the train station, which was cleared at this time and served as a podium for the opening ceremony.
As soon as Ren Pingsheng showed up and before he spoke, tens of thousands of people in the huge square in front of the train station and on the Qingqiu next to him suddenly burst into excitement, shouting "Long live" and resounded endlessly.
Standing on the high platform, Ren Pingsheng felt the strong power of faith coming towards his face, which shocked his spirit!
"Hello!"
He held the microphone, and his voice was spread far away through the tweeter behind the podium, immediately suppressing the voices of people shouting with their raw throats.
As he spoke, the noisy voice became quiet.
After a while, the entire scene fell silent, and the only sound left was the sound of breathing among the tens of thousands of people.
The people knelt down one after another.
The officials and attachés standing behind Ren Pingsheng were shocked when they saw this.
The lord's prestige and influence among the people are already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
The power that such a person can unleash is endless!
“There is no peace in the country without laws, and there are no smooth roads without rules.”
Ren Pingsheng pointed to the railway track that stretched out and seemed to disappear into the sky, and said: "Everyone, look at this road. It is called a railway track. This train is arranged on the railway. It is a thousand-mile road, starting in the morning and arriving in the evening.
The car is like this, and so is the country.
In recent years, the situation has changed. The imperial court has been prosperous, orders have been changed overnight, the country is huge, the laws are corrupt, corrupt officials are corrupt, the people in the fish and meat village are in poverty, and trade is not prosperous.
Establish rules and uphold legal standards.
In the past three years, from Qingcheng Town to Qingshui County, and from Qingshui County to Yuntai County, it was the re-establishment of rules, reform of laws, distribution of land, and recuperation that made the people prosperous, fed and clothed the people, and merchants gathered here.
The economy is booming.
From today on, the train will run across the plains and mountains. This is a vigorous, new, and inexhaustible powerful force!
Just like the new Yuntai County, the people will have enough food, clothing, and worry-free life, and it will get better and better and more prosperous in the near future!"
Ren Pingsheng did not emphasize the benefits of trains.
Because of this, people will have personal feelings and further publicity in the future.
Instead, I took advantage of this opportunity to explain more about the concept of laws after solving the problem.
Laws and regulations are the cornerstone of the system. Only when the laws and regulations are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can this system work well and the political power of the Governor's Mansion become more and more stable.
As Ren Ping has developed to this point, he is not only testing his own influence, but the most important thing is relying on a set of rules from him to officials, and from officials to common people.
Amidst the applause and shouts, Ren Pingsheng turned around and walked towards the platform.
A red silk ribbon has been hung on the black steam engine locomotive.
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand gently, and the red silk floated up and landed on the stone archway at the exit of the train station.
Then, the merchants, scholars, and common people who had received the train tickets before came to the platform through the passenger passage.
The conductor on the train opened the door, and people got into the carriage with novelty and excitement, and under the envious eyes of many people.
Because the platform is very simple and there are no blocking buildings on it.
The people on the mound outside the train station on the left can also see the scene inside the platform. To them, these people seem to have walked into the belly of the black dragon.
“It’s spectacular!”
Under the command of the train conductor, the passengers lined up and entered the carriage with clear windows. They looked at the neat chairs fixed on the ground. After sitting down, they found that the chairs were covered with a layer of leather but were still soft!
There are hundreds of chairs in just one carriage.
Everything is so fresh.
The clear glass windows can still be opened! Someone opened the window and excitedly waved to the people outside.
This also caused people on the mound outside to scream in surprise.
"This is so awesome!"
"There must have been thousands of people just now!!"
"This train is so awesome!"
"And when the train came just now, it was so fast. The governor said that the journey is thousands of miles, starting early and arriving late at night. Doesn't it mean that we mortals can be like gods and travel towards the North Sea and the night sky?"
People were shocked to see this hundreds-meter-long train, which seemed to have no end, and packed groups of people into the carriages. They felt that their own concepts had been strongly impacted.
