Soon, Shi Kefa arrived in Heyang County.
Feng Juan, the magistrate of Heyang County, came out of the city. After the two parties met, Shi Kefa's first question was: "What's the price of food here?"
Feng Juan was stunned when asked, but he immediately reacted and replied: "Eighty cents a dou."
Shi Kefa: "Sure enough, is it eighty cents? The price is already the same as in ordinary years. Grain production has tripled, but the price of grain is the same as in ordinary years and has not plummeted. It is precisely because of the outward transportation and acceptance A lot of refugees, right?"
Feng Juan had a phone call like this with someone covering his face, and he felt a little frightened. He thought to himself: This promotion officer from Xi'an sounded like he was conducting an investigation when he opened his mouth. Could it be that he already suspected me? Oops, Oops, I have been able to deceive others until now. If the court becomes suspicious and sends troops to suppress it, I will...ah, don't panic! Don't panic! My family members have all taken over, and at worst they are hiding behind Tianzun's big golden hand.
Shi Kefa: "Master Feng? Why do you have a nosebleed?"
Feng Juan stretched out his hand and wiped it, and wiped away the nosebleeds: "It's okay, it's okay. It's a minor problem that Xianguan has had since he was a child. It's okay."
While the two were chatting, the whistle sounded, and a huge iron car arrived outside the gate of Heyang County.
Shi Kefa was startled: "What?"
Feng Juan: "That's a small train from Gaojia Village in Chengcheng County to Heyang County. You came at the right time. This train just opened to traffic yesterday. Oops, it's not easy to get this railway track between the two places." Tens of thousands of migrant workers were dispatched and they worked hard for several months to build it."
Shi Kefa was confused. He couldn't understand anything about trains or railroad tracks.
Feng Juan: "Sir, do you want to send these more than 30,000 old, weak, women and children from Heyang County to Gaojiacun? It's more than forty miles, which is not very far. They can walk there, but Master Shi might as well take a little less distance." , let’s go there by train, and you can also select a thousand people from the old, weak, women and children who are in poor health and walk slowly to go there by train, so that they don’t hold back the big team.”
Shi Kefa: "What? Can it transport a thousand people at a time? Is this... a fairy chariot given by Heaven?"
Feng Juan felt relieved when he heard the word Tianzun coming out of his mouth. So you also know about Tianzun? I was afraid that you would think of me as a white lotus demon after you found out. Now that you know about it, I am not afraid anymore.
He cheered up and said, "Tianzun gave a fairy chariot before, and that chariot could run 240 miles in an hour. But later, Mr. Bai from Gaojia Village developed a steam train. We mortals can also build it. It's just that it's made by mortals." The steam train is a little slower than the fairy train, and can only run 60 miles in one hour. From here to Gaojia Village, it takes more than half an hour to run."
Shi Kefa was very surprised. A car carrying a thousand people could travel sixty miles in an hour. What kind of terrifying and strange thing was this? It was actually not given by gods, but could be made by mortals?
"I want to try this thing." Shi Kefa cheered up: "Let's see, I will go to Gaojiacun with the first train, and then select a thousand old, weak, women and children who are the slowest to go on the train together. In addition, There are 29,000 people, so let my soldiers escort them and walk slowly over."
Feng Juan handed over his hand.
Soon, Shi Kefa boarded the train.
This small train was the first steam train built by Mr. Bai. It could only run at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However, after the test run, Mr. Bai began to continuously optimize it and continuously improve the efficiency of the steam engine. As well as the transmission efficiency of the drive shaft, it can now run at a speed of fifteen kilometers per hour.

And its railway tracks were just divided into several sections and erected simultaneously. One side was built from Gaojia Village to Heyang County, and the other side was built from Heyang County to Gaojia Village. The two tracks were only connected yesterday and had just been opened to traffic.
The process of building railway tracks made the blacksmiths of Gaojiacun realize for the first time what "standardization" is, because railway tracks must be standardized. If one person makes it thick and another person makes it thin, they will not fit together.
So Song Yingxing led the smart craftsmen to unify the rulers. The blacksmiths in Gaojia Village and all the blacksmiths in Heyang County publicly recommended a ruler and set it as a standard called one meter. Then everyone unified it according to this standard. Build rails.
The "standardized" technical document issued by Tianzun last time was put into practical use. The measurement unit of one meter began to be used as the new unit of length in Gaojia Village and Heyang County. All craftsmen, whether blacksmiths, carpenters... Use this standard to make things.
Standardization makes all work efficiency begin to improve.
The production speed of breech-loading rifles suddenly began to accelerate.
Of course, Shi Kefa didn't know these things. He only knew that a thousand people crowded into this huge strange car, and then the strange car whined and started driving.
Such a big car, with so many people on it, could actually run. It didn't use oxen or horses, it only had a big black front end to pull it.
While Shi Kefa felt inexplicably surprised, the habit of "spying on intelligence" given to him by the profession of Jinyiwei also made him unable to hold back. He couldn't help but walked from the "passenger carriage" towards the front locomotive.
He was a high-ranking official, and he was originally sitting in the first carriage at the front, so he walked to the front of the carriage, opened the small door, and could see the locomotive.
There was a big iron hook hooked between the two carriages. The train was traveling at a speed of 15 kilometers, which was not fast. At this speed, he could completely cover it, so he had the courage to jump from the iron hook into the locomotive, opened the small door, and Got into the locomotive.
As soon as he entered, he felt a wave of heat hit his face.
Two middle-aged men with bare upper bodies were shoveling coal into a large stove with shovels. They were covered in sweat and covered in black, with only one pair of eyes shining.
Shi Kefa: "Huh? This car runs on coal?"
The two coal miners wanted to get angry and scold this guy for "violating the rules" in entering the carriage, but when they saw that he was wearing official uniform, they did not dare to scold him. They just said together: "Non-staff members are not allowed to enter the locomotive at will. It is dangerous here. Hurry up." go out."
Shi Kefa: "I will just look at you twice and then leave."
The two coal miners couldn't laugh or cry: "What's so interesting about this? This thing just boils water, and then the water vapor rushes out and hits the machine bracket, and the machine bracket drives the wheels to rotate. It's that simple."
Shi Kefa: "What? What? What? Boil water?"
His eyes followed the pipes on the big stove. No, he couldn't understand it at all. What kind of terrible thing was this?
