Chapter 573 The First Railway

After another three months like this, everything in the Ming Empire was in order. It seemed that it was the same whether there was Fang Qiang or not, and all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.

At this time, the Ming Empire has entered a real era of great development. A railway leading to Shu is rushing day and night, and the Sixth Army has also marched to PZH. Ming Yuzhen and Liang Wang are worried all day long. Governor Feng Mo!

However, Feng Mo did not disappoint Fang Qiang's trust. The enemy's sugar-coated shells were useless. He spent most of the day patrolling the newly built steel factory, and other than that, he went to the farmers to observe the people's sentiments!

Feng Mo's ability is really outstanding, and he has done some practical and good things for the common people. Gradually, Feng Qingtian's reputation has risen!
There are many Jinyiwei spies in the Sixth Army, so Fang Qiang knows Feng Mo's every move like the palm of his hand. This young man is very rare!

He is not only capable, but also loyal. If he can manage Shu and southern Yunnan properly, he can be considered for the cabinet!
Of course, this is all for the future!

Fang Qiang has not been bored at home all day during this period, and he will walk around in the empire when he has nothing to do!
Today is an important day. The railway line from Nanjing to Bengbu and then to Xuzhou has been repaired. The train built by the Ministry of Industry has also passed the trial operation stage. Today is the official passage!

This is a very commemorative day, so Fang Qiang decided to join in the fun!
At 9 o'clock in the morning, at the Jinling City Railway Station, there were crowds of people on both sides of the platform. All the people looked at the iron guy in front of them curiously, and some people talked and pointed, but the people who really decided to take the train were very slow This is not surprising, because the acceptance of any new thing requires a process!
"What the hell is this iron guy? Not only does it smoke, but it also whines. It's really scary!"

An old man dressed as a farmer said with lingering fears that he came to Jinling City to sell vegetables. For some reason, the business was very good today. All the vegetables were sold out early in the morning!
After the food was sold, the old man was not in a hurry to go home, just in time for the bustle at the train station, so the old man came over to have a look. He thought there was a temple fair here, but he didn't expect it to be just such an iron guy!

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here? Oh, I see, you are also here to watch the fun!"

Just at this moment, a young man's voice sounded next to the old vegetable seller. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his whole person exuded a sense of cleverness!
"You are the third son!" The old vegetable seller recognized the identity of the young man at once. This boy is from the same village as him. When he was young, he often came to his house to steal vegetables. After being admitted to some academy in Jinling City, he will be a high official in the future!
But at this time, the old man Cai was not very happy. He immediately turned cold and asked: "Well, you brat, if you don't study hard in the academy, why come here to join in the fun? Your mother will help you study It's not easy, the old scalpers at home have been sold, who are you doing right?"

"Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood!" The young man explained anxiously, "Today is the day off for Daming College. I came to this train station to work and study. This way I can earn some money and reduce the burden on the family!"

"Work-study?"

Uncle Zhang is an honest farmer who has been dealing with the land all his life. He can't figure out the words "work-study-study program", let alone what it means!
The third son didn't know how to explain it to Uncle Zhang, so he said, "This is the task entrusted to us by the academy. Only when we complete it can we graduate smoothly!"

"Mission? Graduation?"

Uncle Zhang, who sells vegetables, still doesn't understand, but he believes it a little bit, because Xiao Sanzi has been a sensible child since he was a child, so he shouldn't waste his studies!

The young man suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't wait to say to the old vegetable seller: "Uncle Zhang, let me introduce to you, this thing is called a train, and it is really a good thing that can travel fast. You only need to sit on it, and it will take about half an hour." You can come to our village!"

This is the task assigned by the academy to the third son, and the work-study program he talks about is also the same!

It turned out that this train was a novelty, and the residents in Jinling City didn't dare to take it at all, and they couldn't understand how a big iron guy could travel so fast!

People are always full of fear of the unknown, so this time the launch ceremony from Jinling City to Bengbu and then to Xuzhou was not attended by many people at all!
The reason is very simple, the big guys don't dare!

Not to mention it's free, even if you pay for nothing, the common people won't sit!

A group of bigwigs in the cabinet were dumbfounded seeing this situation. The train was built with a lot of money. If the people don't accept the money, it will be in vain!
In fact, it is not to blame for the ignorance of the people. Even in the cabinet, there are quite a few people who do not agree with this thing, but this is Fang Qiang's suggestion and no one dares to deny it!

To say that the most anxious person among them is Du Lu. He is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. The train is independently developed and manufactured by them. It was finally built, but it was not recognized by most people. His I was so worried, like ants on a hot pan!

The launch ceremony was about to start, but the common people were not willing to take the train at all. It would be a great fun, so he mobilized the students of Daming Institute of Technology to pull people on the street, and he also wanted to explain the function and benefits of this train!

Of course, all of this is not for nothing. The Ministry of Industry pays the students wages, so there is a work-study program for the third son!
"Little Sanzi, don't lie to you, Uncle Zhang! Our village is outside Jinling City! It's more than 70 miles away from here! I walked all night yesterday and arrived at Jinling City this morning. Can you go back? Just kidding! Maxima is not so fast!"

"Uncle Zhang, my father died early. You have taken special care of me since I was a child. I will never lie to you no matter what! You only need to sit with me once and you will understand!"

"This……"

Uncle Zhang hesitated. He knew the young man in front of him. Although this child was a bit mischievous, he was kind-hearted and respected him, so he probably wouldn't lie to him!

"Okay! Uncle Zhang will trust you this time!"

In this way, Uncle Zhang agreed to take the train!

Daming Institute of Technology mobilized all the students of the school to solicit customers this time, so similar things happen all the time!

Du Lu, the Minister of Industry, has already issued a death order. Even if the common people can't get on the train, the students themselves have to take the train. Otherwise, the train will go to Xuzhou empty, and the fun will be great!
