"Going to Nanzhou City?"
Ying Feiyu flattened his mouth.
Ying Zheng has never traveled far since his last eastward tour. Judging from this attitude, he wants to take advantage of this trip to have a good time!
It has been more than ten days since I came out of Xianyang, and it will take at least half a month to wander around Nanzhou City for a few days!
When we arrived in Xianyang, it was probably already autumn!
"Your Majesty! Nanzhou City has been raining since the beginning of summer, and there are floods. You can't go!"
"Yes! You are the king of a country, so it is better not to go to such dangerous places!"
The old guys were worried about Ying Zheng's safety, so they tried to persuade him one by one.
"It's precisely because I knew there was a flood there that I went there! I can't let the people of Great Qin suffer there! In addition, I also want to go and see if the flood is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster!"
The look in Ying Zheng's eyes was very firm, as if no one could change it.
The old guys just shut their mouths and said nothing more.
As your Majesty said, if such a big disaster occurs, if Your Majesty goes there in person, it will not only give the people confidence to tide over the difficulties together, but also deter officials from deducting relief food!
After deciding on this matter, everyone began to pack their luggage and get ready to go.
Since the railway in Kuaiji County has not yet been completed, the veterans cannot continue to take Yingzheng's special train and have to find other ways!
"How about taking a carriage?"
local officials suggested.
This was the most common means of transportation before.
Even now, it is the most common form of transportation besides along the railway lines!
"Although Licheng is not big, there are still many carriages. Your Majesty and your lords will be transported to Kuaiji County safely!"
The officials thought it was time for them to perform, and they made promises with their chests puffed out.
"Hurry up and pull it down. It's at least 1,400 miles from here to Kuaiji County. A large group of us are riding in a carriage. When we get there, the water has receded. Why are we going there? Roll up our trousers to pick up fish. ?”
However, this proposal was immediately opposed by veterans.
"Alas...! It would be great if there was a steam car at this time. That thing is tireless and runs so fast. It's only three to five days!"
Zhang Han sighed and thought of the car in his backyard.
The leather seats have good shock absorption and are much more comfortable than riding in a carriage!
"We don't have steam cars, but we have steam ships!"
Just when everyone was having trouble getting to Kuaiji County as quickly as possible, Ying Feiyu suddenly spoke and winked at everyone.
"That's right! A steamship is just like a train. It can travel thousands of miles a day. It's much faster than a steam car!"
"Yes! This Licheng city is not far from the sea. Let's set off now. It won't take long to reach Jiaodong County. From there, we can take a boat and arrive at Kuaiji County in two days at most!"
"Haha! His Royal Highness is the one with the brightest mind to come up with such a good method...!"
When the old guys heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Steamships not only travel between Nanhae County and Nanyang, but can also be seen in other coastal counties!
It’s just that it’s relatively much less!
Some are private boats that travel to and from Southeast Asia, bringing things back to the island to sell!
There are also some who specialize in transportation, hauling people and goods!
The government along the coast will also have some ships to help people immigrate!
Immigration is an important national policy of the Qin Dynasty. As long as there are people who want to immigrate, the court will fully support it!
No ships to send, no houses to help build, as long as you are willing to immigrate to Nanyang!
"Okay! Let's go by boat!"
Ying Zheng decided on this matter, and local officials immediately sent someone to contact him.
The veterans quickly packed up their packages, boarded the special train, and took the train to Jiaodong County!
This place is not far from Jiaodong County. The old guys got on the train and the cook started preparing lunch.
After eating and drinking, and just taking a short rest, the train whistle sounded again, then gradually slowed down and stopped slowly!
"We're here now?"
Ying Zheng was about to take a nap, but he didn't expect that the train had already started to stop, so he could only force his eyelids to open.
Looking out the window, officials from Jiaodong County were already waiting outside the window.
If nothing unexpected happened, after the matter was settled, officials from Licheng sent someone to take the train one step ahead of them and report the news!
"Hmph! These guys can't do anything for the people! When it comes to flattering others, each one is better than the other!"
Zhang Han Monkey Spirit naturally thought of this and suddenly showed a contemptuous look.
"Hey! Lao Zhang, you really don't have the qualifications to say this!"
Wang Ben quickly told him to stop.
"What? I can't say anything anymore?"
"You really can't!"
"Why?"
"Looking at the whole Qin Dynasty, you are the number one in flattering me. Even those outside the window are not as good as your little finger!"
"Pfft..."
Wang Ben's words made all the veterans present laugh.
"Haha! Lao Wang, you are right!"
"Don't accuse me unjustly! I, Lao Zhang, am a real person and I never do those things of flattery or flattery! Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart!"
If these words were said in another place, Zhang Han might not care about them.
But this is in front of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I cannot admit this even to death!
"Haha! Okay! It's time to get off the car. We don't insist on these things with you. We have known each other for decades. We all know what kind of people we are, haha!"
The veterans waved their hands, followed Ying Zheng, and slowly got off the train.
Just like Licheng, the officials bowed respectfully and led Ying Zheng to the port!
Just as the old guys guessed, officials from Licheng came to report and asked them to prepare a steamer for His Majesty to use in Kuaiji County!
"Your Majesty, this steamer was sent by the imperial court to transport immigrants to us. It has been idle in the past few days!"
The official followed Ying Zheng and explained respectfully.
"Um!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
He is not interested in the daily use of this ship. He only cares about when this ship can leave!
"Your Majesty, please board the ship. Your Majesty has ordered people to add coal and water in advance. It is estimated that it is almost burned by now..."
The official made a respectful gesture of invitation, and then continued: "Your Majesty, after I heard that Kuaiji County was affected by the disaster, I was very anxious and called on the people to collect some food. Could you please bring it with me to meet the urgent needs of the people of Nanzhou! "
"Yeah! I'm interested!"
Seeing a group of officials carrying bags of grain onto the ship, Ying Zheng took a look at him and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, don't tell me. The officials in Jiaodong County are much more sensible than those in Licheng. At least they can flatter His Majesty!"
"yes……!"
The veterans behind Ying Zheng heard the sound and murmured quietly.
