Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment.
He stood up slowly and took the chart that Guo Tianyang brought over.
When I unfolded it, I was instantly delighted!
This chart is drawn on sheepskin, and the painting on it is very detailed and exquisite.
In order to prevent people from not understanding it, I even wrote a lot of notes in small characters.
With this chart, the time from Dajing to Feika has been shortened by less than half.
And Lai Gouer has personally verified it, which means that one supply can reach the destination directly?
The ministers were also speechless in surprise. Doesn't that mean that Da Jing's rate of making money has doubled?
Lai Gouer continued: "I have also summarized the latest situation in the Holy City and Feika and brought it over in a book, but it is still in my luggage."
Under the nervous gaze of the ministers, Emperor Jing suddenly laughed out loud.
"Okay! Great! The Qing family is brave and resourceful, and they are truly the pillars of the country!"
"I am ashamed of myself."
"If you can afford it, if I say you can afford it, then you can afford it!" Emperor Jing waved his hand and said without any doubt, "The Qing family has really worked hard and made great achievements. The news and reports from the Holy City and Feika were sent directly to the palace. Can."
"Guo Banban, take this chart and redraw it. In addition, find someone to copy the news brought by Lai Qing's family."
After a brief explanation, Emperor Jing glanced at Lai Gouer with relief.
"The Qing family has worked hard all the way back, and I will definitely give you a reward in the future. You must be homesick after not returning home for many years. Just rest in the capital these days. When you have recovered enough, you can come to the palace to see me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lai Gouer saluted solemnly.
Emperor Jing said with a smile: "You should go back and rest first. The others will stay and continue discussing with me."
"Your Majesty," Fang Zhengyi said suddenly, "Beijing has changed a lot in recent years. I am afraid that he will easily get lost alone, so how about I accompany him?"
Emperor Jing nodded: "Then you can go too."
Obviously, there is no use for Fang Zhengyi to stay here, and he doesn't seem very enthusiastic.
But as soon as Fang Zheng stepped forward, Emperor Jing suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The prince usually hangs out with him, but today the conversation was about the war. Why didn't the prince say a word?
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing's eyes drifted to Li Yuanzhao who was standing aside.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. Just one glance and the anger in your heart rushes up.
I saw that the prince was wandering in the sky, thinking absently about something.
Emperor Jing's old face suddenly fell...
...
The discussions among the civil servants and generals in the palace are still going on.
Fang Zhengyi and Lai Gouer had already arrived outside the palace.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Lai Gouer seemed to have been relieved of some burden and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's figured out."
Fang Zheng side-eyed: "Why, are you nervous? I think you performed well."
Lai Gou'er twitched his lips: "Are you not nervous? It's all just pretending... You've practiced it outside."
Fang Zheng smiled and slapped him on the shoulder: "Pretend well! Pretending is also a skill. The capital has changed a lot in the past two years. I will take you to see everything, and then we will go to Taoyuan County."
"Okay, it's all up to big brother."
The two of them walked side by side, and Lai Gouer asked curiously: "Brother, you don't seem to have any opinions about the matters in the Holy City? The reaction of the officials today is a bit too intense, right?"
Before he could finish his words, Fang Zheng said: "I think there will be a fight sooner or later. As for how to fight, there will naturally be capable people in the government who are responsible for it."
"As for why it's so intense, you'll know when we meet."
...
The two of them chatted all the way, took a detour to visit the exchange and Jingxing Bank, and then went straight to the train station in the capital.
The train station is crowded with people at the moment. In fact, it has never been less popular since it was established.
A wide square opened outside the train station, with various food stalls lined up in the square.
There were people soliciting customers to stay at the hotel, some holding billboards, some sitting on the ground begging, and people from the Army and Horses Division patrolling the area.
A chaotic and lively situation.
Lai Gouer was quite surprised: "Brother, are all these people here to take the train?"
"Oh, that's not entirely true. Many of them are just making a living here." Fang Zheng led him through the crowd, "If you want to take the train, you have to buy a ticket first. It's easy to buy now, but I'm afraid if you come in the morning It’s hard to grab.”
"Brother, do you still have to buy a ticket to take the train?" Lai Gouer said in surprise.
"Of course I don't need it. There is a special VIP room for reception, and there is no need to queue up. But since you are here, I will show you what it is like for ordinary people to take a car."
While he was talking, Fang Zhengyi had already dragged him to the ticket office.
I took out my banknote and bought the most expensive seat, then entered the waiting hall.
After waiting for a while, the two of them actually entered the platform.
A large group of people rushed towards the platform, and Fang Zhengyi and Lai Gouer were caught in the crowd.
I glimpsed a man in a hat from a distance, holding a loudspeaker in his hand and roaring at the top of his lungs.
"Stay inside! Move to the side! Don't push out!"
"Can't you hear me? Go in, don't stop, go in quickly!"
“Find your own number and wait in line, don’t wait in the back!!!”
Lai Gou'er looked at this scene with great novelty, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He has traveled to various countries, but he has never seen a scene like today, especially in a scene that he is familiar with.
Waiting for the train to rumble into the station with an indomitable momentum, emitting black smoke.
The expression on Lai Gouer's face froze.
"This...is this a train?"
"Yes, this is the train." Fang Zheng said.
A train passed by in his eyes, Lai Gouer's expression gradually became crazy.
Although I had known about trains and steam engines overseas for a long time, it was only when I actually saw this steel giant that I realized that it was completely different from what I had imagined!
The great scene... suddenly seemed strangely unfamiliar to him.
"Don't be stunned. The car has stopped. Let's get in."
The train door was opened by the conductor, and Fang Zheng walked into the carriage first.
Lai Gouer came to his senses and quickly followed in.
The things inside were understandable. The two sat side by side, and Fang Zhengyi deliberately made the seat by the window available for him.
Lai Gouer was lying on the car window without saying a word, and there were already waves in his mind.
Until the train started moving and the surrounding scenery passed by, Lai Gouer took deep breaths repeatedly and sat back down.
He murmured: "Awesome, so awesome! Is this something only gods can do?"
"So, do you know why the imperial court is so fierce in the main battle?" Fang Zheng smiled and looked out the window, "The transportation capacity of the train is unmatched by anything in the world."
"The exchange and Jingxing Bank can gather the world's money, and the train can increase the speed of the world's material circulation dozens of times."
“Dajing is no longer the original Dajing.”
"Dajing is fearless and has no opponents in its eyes, so it cannot tolerate anyone's provocation. This is why the court reacted so fiercely."
