Royal Gold Magistrate

And the carriage behind has fallen into another kind of silence.

After the carnival, everyone fell into silence, watching the passing scenery outside the window with tears in their eyes.

A project with a development cycle of more than ten years, the results that can shock the world were born in the hands of a group of unknown people.

At first, this was just Fang Zhengyi's idea.

He told everyone that there is a kind of car in this world that can walk by itself and transport countless goods. With this kind of car, they can live a life that they can't imagine in their dreams.

If it were ordinary people, they would never believe that there are cars that can walk by themselves in the world.

But the speaker is Fang Zhengyi, they believe it!

It is said that there are fireworks in the world, but there was only smoke in their lives before, and it was Fang Zhengyi who brought the fire.

No matter when they encounter any difficulties, Fang Zhengyi always stands in front of them.

From scratch, from poor to rich, this patron saint has created countless miracles.

They have no reason not to believe, and they will never allow themselves not to believe!

Afterwards, it started with a kettle, and followed Fang Zhengyi to start this research road with his own hands.

There are countless difficulties and problems in this process. The manuscript paper of their calculations can fill the entire Taoyuan County, and the casting workpieces can fill all the warehouses of Eastern Suburb University.

Many people have thought about giving up, but the road before them is a long and rugged road with no bottom.

And the road is full of fog traps...

But everyone persisted in the end, because there was always a lighthouse standing at the end of the road.

Today, they proved their worth and achieved Fang Zhengyi's goal.

Satisfaction, excitement, happiness, and anticipation are all in this moment.

And the painters in the compartment were fearful at the beginning, and now they are deeply affected by the emotions of the group.

...

The test section has reached the end, and the train stops slowly.

Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao jumped out of the car at the same time, and with the help of Soot, the two had already become a big mess.

Under his call, everyone also began to step off the fire one by one.

However, his expression still couldn't hide his excitement.

Fangzheng raised his hands and said, "Congratulations, everyone, our train has finally come out today. In order to record this moment of making history, I specially called the painters from Dongda University, and let them collectively make a painting here. For posterity! Now stand behind me in three rows."

Everyone was in an uproar, and their hearts were moved.

Only then did Li Yuanzhao suddenly understand that it was the role of the painter.

"Old Fang, you are still thoughtful."

Fangzheng grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and took out a small notebook from his chest and shook it in front of his eyes.

"It's not enough, I need someone to compile the history! To compile a railway history, the list of all the people involved in the construction of the railway train is here, and no one will be missed."

"You are the real heroes."

Li Yuanzhao nodded and smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then the two walked towards an open place.

All the staff in the steam station began to line up automatically.

Although most of the painters still don't understand what happened, this moment is obviously extremely serious.

With great enthusiasm, everyone took out their drawing boards, charcoal pencils and sat on the ground to start painting in different areas.

In only one and a half hours, a world-famous painting that will play an important role in later generations was born.

In the center of the screen is Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao sitting next to each other, and behind them on the left and right are many research institute personnel.

Everyone is full of smiles, making V letters with their hands.

This action caused a trend of photo imitation in later generations, which lasted for a long time.

But as for why everyone is holding up two fingers in a V shape, what is the specific meaning of this action, and it is an unsolved mystery that has kept countless scholars sleepless at night...

.......

Inside the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Jing asked about politics as usual.

Several chiefs of the Ministry of War and the Cabinet sat on the lower chairs, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Feng Jie reported: "Your Majesty, due to the shortage of pig iron in the market today, the price of iron is still rising steadily. Compared with the previous two months, it has doubled. Now our Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry and the Royal Academy of Sciences are jointly casting new guns. Because The price of iron has skyrocketed, and the craftsmanship is not fully mature, so the 37 taels of silver that was originally approved is no longer enough to spend."

"Master Xu is also here today. Can I add another 20 taels to the Ministry of War to deal with the unexpected? I have already reported it before. Guns are a major matter of national defense and cannot be delayed for a day. You can give me an accurate statement."

Xu Wen expressed embarrassment in writing: "There is no war at the moment, so let's slow it down if we can. The main problem is still on the railway. After two months, we will have iron. Besides, the development and construction of new ships, before the household department Not long ago, 300 million taels of silver were allocated, so it’s really not possible to adjust it within the Ministry of War.”

Feng Jie was slightly angry: "Master Xu, one yard belongs to one yard, and the sailors belong to the sailors. Am I still waiting for the Lao Shizi's railway for military and state affairs? The manufacture of weapons cannot be stopped. Our entire army needs to update equipment, and the progress must not be delayed. .”

Emperor Jing tapped on the imperial case and said with a headache: "Don't quarrel, these two days have been repeated in front of me. Don't you just want me to stop the demolition of the railway immediately?"

"I have already said in the court that Fangzheng will be given a month or two. You are not joking! Dear friends, you might as well wait a while. When the railway is completed, there will be countless refined iron."

Several veterans looked at each other.

Li Yansong gave a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it is not the ministers who are persecuting Your Majesty. The old minister doesn't understand why His Majesty still wants to let Mr. Fang continue when he knows the nonsense? The defense of the country by railways is obviously just a supernatural theory."

"The old minister believes that His Majesty is also dismissive of these claims."

Facing the questioning gazes of the veterans, Emperor Jing showed embarrassment, struggled for a while and said with difficulty

"Railway construction...is my first shovel..."

"???!"

The eyes of a group of old men were all dull for a moment.

It turns out that you made the first shovel, no wonder this crap has not been resolved for so long.

I understand now.

This project was initiated by the emperor, and if it was abandoned halfway, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the emperor?

Now it's hard to get off a tiger, if you can drag it, you will drag it....

There was a complete silence in the warm pavilion, and no one dared to speak.

Emperor Jing blushed, sitting there holding a teacup, staring at the teapot intently.

But at this moment, Guo Tianyang suddenly broke into the embarrassment, and reported with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, the slave has been found."

Emperor Jing coughed lightly: "Railway, right? There's no need to hide it. Let's talk about the specific situation here."

Guo Tianyang responded, and said, "It took a lot of time for the servant to send people to check the railway. Jin Yiwei has been strictly guarding against letting Dongchang inquire."

"Later, I sent someone to the Eastern Suburb University, and accidentally discovered that a painter knew the inside story here and inquired about the news of the railway. However, the painter said a few words and realized that he was being tricked and refused to disclose it again..."

Emperor Jing said irritably: "Just tell the result, what is the use of the railway?"

"Cha! I heard that they seem to be researching a car that can run by itself!"

Emperor Jing: "..."
