"Feng Shangshu...Feng Shangshu...!"
After the young lady entered the palace, she quickly ran towards the Ministry of Works with her calves in the air, shouting as she ran.
Although he called Feng Quji an old man in private, this was in the palace and he had to give the old man face.
You still have to shout "Shang Shu"!
The trains have been tested and now we are waiting for the railway to be completed.
Now that she has learned the good news, Xiaozhengtai can't hold back her excitement!
"Young Master, please stop shouting, our Minister is not here!"
As soon as he broke into the gate of the Ministry of Works, he met Yuan Wailang and stopped him.
"Not here? Where did the old man go?"
Koshota looked confused.
"Forehead……"
Hearing the title of old man, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, was suddenly startled.
Good guy, Feng Quji was also the former prime minister after all, but now he is called an old man!
But it's nothing strange. Guiguzi's famous name has impressed countless students. The young master should be called the old man, isn't he also called the old man?
"Back to the young master, our minister took a stack of drawings and headed to the royal study to meet the emperor!"
"Meeting my father? Didn't I just leave the morning court for a while? Why is he going to see my father?"
Ying Feiyu tilted his head and asked doubtfully.
"This subordinate doesn't know, but it seems he has some good news? The minister left in a hurry and didn't give us a chance to ask!"
"Okay! I'll go to the imperial study room and have a look!"
Knowing Feng Quji's whereabouts, Xiao Zhengtai immediately changed direction and ran towards the imperial study.
…
"Hahaha! Okay! Great!"
After a while, a small figure came to the door of the royal study.
Before he even entered the door, he heard Ying Zheng's hearty smile.
Yo?
It looks like there is really some good news?
Without waiting for the announcement, the young lady pushed the door open and entered!
Han Xin and Wang Li did not dare to rush in, so they guarded the door with the guards!
Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon throne, grinning widely!
"Father? Why are you so happy?"
The young lady glanced at Feng Quji in the hall, and then at Ying Zheng.
"Hahaha! You came just in time, kid. I was planning to send someone to find you...!"
Ying Zheng was not angry because of his intrusion. Instead, his eyes lit up and he felt that he had come at the right time. "Come and take a look at the railway drawings that Feng Aiqing just sent. All the routes on them have been completed. That is to say, , the train will be fully operational soon, and I can also go to Yanmen County to take a look at the grasslands where the Xiongnu once lived, and see if the people of my country in Great Qin are still used to living there, haha!"
Ying Zheng said happily, feeling extremely good.
This is the first vehicle in Da Qin that can travel thousands of miles a day. If you say you are not excited, you would be lying!
Even Han Xin and Wang Li outside the door were excited after hearing this.
It's just that they didn't dare to show off too much, they just looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
"Seriously? Is the railway really repaired?"
Ying Feiyu hurriedly ran behind Long An, grabbed the drawings and flipped through them quickly.
Feng Quji shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This is the young master. If it were any other person, the moment he broke into the royal study, his head would be in danger.
Let alone running behind the dragon case!
"My young master, it has indeed been repaired. After I heard the news, I came immediately to report the good news to His Majesty!"
Feng Quji bowed his hands and said with a smile.
"Great, I will send someone to notify Huang Yuan later and ask them to pull the locomotive to the railway for testing!"
Xiao Zhengtai's face was full of joy.
"Testing? Why do you still need to test? Haven't you already tested it before?"
These two words undoubtedly poured cold water on Ying Zheng's head.
He was preparing to pack up and go to Yanmen County in the next two days.
But according to this kid’s opinion, it definitely won’t work!
Even Feng Quji looked confused and stared at him with his old eyes blinking.
"Of course, the previous test was to see if the train could run, but now we are testing whether the train can run long distances and whether it will encounter any obstacles. It is also testing whether the rails are qualified...!"
Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes and continued: "If we let people board the train without passing the test, if an accident occurs, the whole car will be in danger!"
Not to mention in this era, even the newly built railway tracks in later generations will need to be tested for a long time, just to ensure the safety of people's lives!
"I think what the young master said is very reasonable!"
Although Feng Quji also felt that the test was troublesome, after his analysis, it was indeed necessary.
These ministers have invested a lot of money in the railway and are looking forward to the day when the train will be officially put into operation.
If it is not tested and problems occur on the first day, who will dare to take the train in the future?
If no one rides, you won’t make any money!
If the railway can't make money, wouldn't their previous investment be in vain?
"Uh...that makes sense!"
Ying Zheng reluctantly nodded and asked, "When can the test start?"
"It will be after tomorrow morning at the earliest!"
Koshota thought for a moment and gave an approximate time.
The railway has not yet been built, so once the train is built it can only be placed in the workshop.
Even if Huang Yuan is notified now, the fastest time to deliver parts and assemble will be tomorrow at noon!
"Okay! After tomorrow morning, I will take all the ministers to watch!"
After hearing this time, Ying Zheng was quite satisfied, at least it didn't take ten days and a half.
"okay!"
Xiao Zhengtai agreed immediately.
"When the train opens, it is estimated that more people will immigrate to the Huns!"
Even though the train has not yet started testing, Ying Zheng has already begun to imagine what it will be like after the train is put into operation.
The reason why it is difficult to immigrate now is because people have the idea of returning to their roots.
I don't want to leave the place where I grew up.
What's more, the Huns were thousands of miles away?
After immigrating there, it is basically impossible to return to Daqin!
It will be much easier after the train is opened. It can be reached in one day, making it convenient for people to visit relatives!
"Yes, as our Daqin becomes stronger and stronger in the future, there will be more and more train lines!"
Feng Quji nodded with a smile on his face.
"Trains have many benefits. In addition to the passenger and freight transportation mentioned earlier, they can also drive the economy along the railway!"
Koshota spoke slowly.
“Boost the local economy?”
Now the two of them didn't understand again.
They are just charging fees from the people and merchants to make money. What does it have to do with the railway coast?
"Yes, the train does not depart from Xianyang and arrives directly at Yanmen County. It has to stop many times along the way to pick up and unload passengers and replenish the coal and water needed by the train!"
"So, there will be many people visiting relatives for short distances. In addition, some young masters are tired of staying in the local area. They can go to the counties and counties along the railway to experience the customs and customs of other areas!"
"And those poets, calligraphers and painters can go to other places to find inspiration!"
"In short, after the railway is opened, as long as the railway stops at the station, the economy will be boosted...!"
Ying Feiyu explained to the two of them eloquently.
Only then did the two understand that the railway not only facilitated the people and benefited the military, but also promoted the economy along the railway.
Wouldn't it be better to build a few more?
