TRAIN STATION.
Zhu Zhanji was stunned as he looked at the dense crowd. Although he hadn't seen the train yet, his curiosity about it was completely aroused.
What kind of charm does this thing have that can attract so many people here?
Yin Yong left and came back again, wiping the sweat on his head and breathing heavily: "Your Highness, the tickets for this train are sold out, we can only sit on one train."
"Next trip? How many times does this thing go a day?" When Zhu Zhanji heard Yin Yong say that this trip was over, he felt regretful and thought he could only wait until tomorrow.
Yin Yong nodded: "The trip takes about half an hour, we only need to wait half an hour."
One trip every half an hour... Zhu Zhanji was shocked, how could there be so many?
In fact, what ZhuZhanji didn’t know was that this train not only transported people, but also cargo.
As people's pockets get bigger and bigger, more and more people want to take the train. Although train tickets are expensive, many people can afford it if they only take it once.
It is precisely because of this that the train station is so lively.
Half an hour later, Yin Yong took Zhu Zhanji onto the train with ease.
Zhu Zhanji followed Yin Yong onto the train, walked into the carriage, and said in surprise: "Huh? Why is there no one there? Aren't there a lot of people down there?"
Yin Yong led Zhu Zhanji to a spacious place to sit down, and said with a smile: "Although there are many people outside, at least half of them have just got off the train, and they will not go back right away. There are also some who are ready to sit down. The train won’t leave immediately.”
Since Zhu Zhanji brought a lot of people, and for safety reasons, Yin Yong directly booked a carriage.
It is impossible for ordinary people to book the entire carriage, not even if they are rich, not even if they are fourth or fifth grade executives. The ticket sellers were people from the Zhenguo government, and neither money nor power were taken seriously by them.
But the people in the Navy are different. The Navy is now led by Tang Ding. With the relationship between Xinguo Gongfu and Zhenguo Gongfu, it is not difficult to book a carriage.
Before the train started, Zhu Zhanji heard noises coming from the carriages on both sides.
Curious, he stood up and walked forward to listen. He opened the small window on the car door and immediately saw that the car opposite was packed with people.
"What's going on on the other side?"
Yin Yong also listened and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, this is how you normally take the train."
Zhu Zhanji reacted very quickly. This is how he normally takes the train, so his current situation was obviously abnormal.
He nodded and said with a smile, "General Yin is interested."
"Your Highness, you're welcome." With Zhu Zhanji's words, Yin Yong's efforts were not in vain, "Your Highness, the train is about to start, so you'd better sit down first."
"Oh? Okay." Zhu Zhanjiyan followed the advice and walked over and sat down. He laughed and said, "Gu Zheng wants to take a closer look at how this train moves."
Yin Yong smiled and sat opposite Zhu Zhanji.
Not long after the two sat down, after three loud whistles sounded in succession, Zhu Zhanji suddenly saw the scenery outside the window slowly moving.
"Huh? What's happening outside?"
Yin Yong glanced out the window, looked back and responded with a smile: "It's not the movement outside, it's the train. It's not obvious yet, but it will get faster and faster soon."
Hearing what Yin Yong said, Zhu Zhanji's gaze that had just been withdrawn turned to the window again. He wanted to see how fast this train could go.
Then, the scenery in Zhu Zhanji's eyes receded faster and faster, and finally it even reached the point of being dazzled and he had to look back.
"The horse is running faster and faster. There is no falsehood at all." Zhu Zhanji looked at Yin Yong with admiration and asked, "Is this a train?"
"This is the train." Yin Yong understood Zhu Zhanji's shock very well, because he had the same expression when he saw it for the first time.
"Guess, it should be a steam engine pulling this train, right?"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yin Yong with a smile.
Yin Yong nodded.
Zhu Zhanji pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "But as far as I know, ordinary steam engines shouldn't be able to pull such a huge train, right? What's more, it's still such a fast speed. Do you know what's going on with the steam engine of this train?" "
Yin Yong shook his head vigorously and said: "Your Highness, the general is just a rough man, how can he understand this? But the general has heard that this train was made by a mechanical workshop. If your highness wants to know, wait until you return to Beijing. , you can go to the machine workshop to have a look."
"Mechanical workshop?" Zhu Zhanji asked again
, smiled and nodded: "That's fine, I'll definitely go and see it if I have the chance."
Beijing Railway Station.
Heavily armed sergeants stood on both sides, separating an open space of about two feet in the middle.
Wang Yuanji and the ceremonial eunuch sat side by side and waited quietly.
After taking a sip of tea, the eunuch turned his head to look at Wang Yuanji and saw that he had his hands clasped in front of his stomach, looking neither arrogant nor impetuous. Putting down the tea cup, he praised: "Master Wang, you are so generous..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the sun in the sky, "The sun is not bright tomorrow, so why does our house feel so hot? Mr. Wang's magnanimity is really enviable to our family."
Wang Yuanji turned slightly to one side and came close to the eunuch's ear: "I'm not satisfied with what you said, I'm also very hot, I'm just enduring it."
The eunuch looked at Wang Yuanji with wide eyes, not expecting that Wang Yuanji would answer him like this.
Wang Yuanji looked at the eunuch's dull eyes and felt very satisfied. He just liked the stupid look in other people's eyes.
The eunuch smiled bitterly, lowered his head and said, "I really didn't expect that Mr. Wang has such a side."
Generally speaking, when someone compliments someone very generously, shouldn't they acquiesce in a reserved manner? Why would Wang Yuanji still say such things?
But these words touched the eunuch's heart, and he suddenly felt that the distance between him and Wang Yuanji was much closer.
While the two were talking, a dark train was speeding over, emitting thick white smoke.
The eunuch enthusiastically stretched out his hand to guide Wang Yuanji, "This should be the trip, right?"
Wang Yuanji nodded slightly, stood up and said, "It should be, let's prepare too."
The train slowed down as it approached the station, and the smoke that had been left far behind gradually enveloped the entire train.
When the smoke slowly dispersed, the train appeared in everyone's sight.
Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait to open the carriage door and waved his hands vigorously to see the little fog in front of him. His eyes suddenly fell on the tall city wall of the capital in the distance, "Jingcheng, Guzhen has come to the capital, in such a short time..."
Although Zhu Zhanji had left Ming Dynasty for several years, he could still clearly remember how long it took to take a boat from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the capital. But now, I board the train in the morning and arrive in the afternoon. This speed...
