Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 218 Steam Train!Daming Treasures!Zhu Yuanzhang felt numb again, really numb!
"Yes, my subordinates will go now."

Just as the two tigers were about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Forget it, let's go by ourselves."

The loud voice just now made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart move.

Curiosity soared, as if being tickled, there was no way to wait anymore.

After coming to Peiping, he was shocked too much.

The first is the asphalt road under your feet, and the second is the movie.

He felt that this thing that made sound and made the ground vibrate constantly was probably another novelty.

After getting out of the carriage, a building about five feet wide came into view.

There was an endless stream of people coming in and out. Some of the people looked like hawkers, carrying poles, and some were carrying cotton wool, which seemed extraordinarily lively.

There is a large plaque on the building with big characters: Railway Station - Gu'an Station.

"TRAIN STATION?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. He had heard of horse carts, ox carts, and donkey carts, but he had never heard of trains. What is a train?
If you don't understand, you can only ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the common people who came in and out, and Erhu knew what he was going to do without him opening his mouth.

Erhu scanned around and saw a man in his thirties with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Brother, can you move around and ask a few questions."

While speaking, Er Hu shook a few pieces of broken silver in his hands.

The 30-year-old young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed Erhu to Zhu Yuanzhang, rubbed his hands and said, "You two, what do you want to ask?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "What are you doing with your shoulder pole?"

The young man was dressed in sackcloth, put the pole on the ground, and lifted the cloth from the basket. Inside were some carpentry planes, saws and other tools.

"Look, my lord, I'm going to Beiping City to do carpentry for others. Now people in the city are renovating houses every day and need to make furniture. The market is good."

The young man smiled honestly and stated his purpose.

"How much money do carpenters make a day?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The young man said truthfully: "Carpentry is very popular now, and the wages are one hundred yuan a day."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised. Is the coolie work so profitable now?

The wages of one hundred yuan are indeed no worse than farming.

According to the current prices in Beiping, one day's wages can buy a big fat chicken and more than 30 catties of wheat. This is enough for a family of six to live on.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled, and began to think about the situation of the people in Peiping.

It's no wonder that these farmers don't need to farm land, because large tracts of land are contracted by large households, and more grain is grown with chemical fertilizers, and the price of grain has dropped.

The common people do not need to pay poll tax, land tax, etc., and become free people completely, relying on their ability to make a living
This Li Xiao really has a special way of thinking. When we first met him, we could always think about things from other angles. Now it seems that his angle is too special.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought that he hadn't asked about the train that he wanted to ask.

Thinking of this, he pointed to the train station, "What is this train station?"

"Oh, that's what you wanted to ask."

The young man enthusiastically explained: "Speaking of this."

There was a look of admiration on his face, "That's simply a miracle, the means of a god. We don't even believe it, it's something that can be made by humans."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What the hell is it, don't keep it up."

The young man spread his hands, staring and said: "Big guy! It's so big! It can make a huge noise. You can think of it as a very big carriage, which can carry people from here to Beiping."

"Big guy, it's not a horse-drawn carriage to carry people to Beiping, is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"No, no, no." The young man waved his hand: "It's definitely not a carriage, it's a big iron lump that can pull hundreds of people."

"A few hundred people?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback. He couldn't imagine anything that could pull hundreds of people on land, and only a big ship could do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "When did this thing appear in Beiping?"

"half year ago."

The young man explained: "Half a year ago, the newspaper suddenly announced that the train was officially in operation. From Gu'an County to Beiping, you can arrive by train, passing through Daxing County on the way. Currently, there is only this line in Beiping."

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Erhu gave the broken silver to this man, and he took the silver and left with a smile on his face.

"Master Huang, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Erhu asked.

"Go, of course I'm going, I want to see what this big fellow known as the means of the gods is."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the gate of the train station with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, the two tigers waved their hands, and immediately Jin Yiwei appeared secretly, and the two tigers said one after another, "Send the carriage to Beiping." Jin Yiwei nodded, and then pulled the carriage away.

After finishing, Erhu followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the train station.

There are many people at the train station and it is extremely noisy.

If the train is the same means of transportation as the ship, Zhu Yuanzhang judged from this that his layout for more than 30 years is now chaotic, and the mobility of the people in Beiping is very high.

There are also shops in this train station, which sell pasta, dry food and water.

There is a big window in the middle that says: Ticket Office.

I asked a passer-by again and learned that if you want to take the train, you have to buy a ticket first.

So Zhu Yuanzhang started to line up in order again. After all, it was a public interview, and he always treated himself as an ordinary citizen.

When it was my turn, the conductor at the window asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Peking."

The conductor said: "Peking is one coin per person."

Erhu took out broken silver and handed it over, but was rejected by the conductor, saying: "Sorry, sir, there are a lot of ticket buyers here every day, so we don't accept broken silver, and we have to use Daming Banknotes. If there is no Please go to the exchange office to redeem in advance."

Broken silver has to be weighed, and there are many people buying tickets, which is very inconvenient, so it has to be exchanged for precious banknotes in advance.

"The Daming Treasure Banknote?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, can we still use precious banknotes here?
This kid Li Xiao, because he said that the treasure banknotes depreciated like waste paper, he asked the fourth child to stop using the treasure banknotes.

Why can it be used again now?

Did he do this secretly?
Damn it, isn't this kid secretly printing money by himself?

This is a serious crime, a serious crime of copying and beheading, this kid is so bold!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu and said, "Erhu, do you have any treasure on you?"

"Master Huang, I really have one."

Erhu was ecstatic in his heart, and took out a treasure note from his body.

That was the salary that Zhu Yuanzhang gave Erhu a few years ago. The Daming banknote with a face value of 1000 taels has already become waste paper, but Erhu is not reconciled, and he is not willing to throw it away as waste paper, so he always carries it with him.

He thought to himself, great, this 1000 taels of Daming banknotes, I didn't expect to be able to use them in Beiping, and they will give me 99 taels of silver later. It's a pleasure.
This increased salary can finally be fulfilled! !
Erhu took out the Daming banknote and slapped it in front of the window.

He smiled slightly, waiting for the money to be poured.

Unexpectedly, the face of the conductor changed immediately. According to Peking regulations, using counterfeit banknotes is a serious crime. How could this guy use such fake banknotes to fool him?
"Come on! Someone is using counterfeit banknotes!"

"Beat the watchman! Someone is using counterfeit banknotes!"

The conductor immediately took the banknotes in his hand and kept shouting loudly.

Erhu: "????"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "????"

The two were a little confused.

How come this regular Daming treasure banknote turned into a counterfeit banknote?

In an instant, everyone in the lobby of the train station was stunned and looked over one after another. Who would have thought that someone would dare to use counterfeit banknotes?

Anyone who dared to use counterfeit banknotes had their heads chopped off.
"There are people who use counterfeit money."

"Look, there are people who are not afraid of death."

"We've heard that Prefect Li hates people who use counterfeit banknotes the most. Last time, they destroyed a den and chopped off their heads."

The common people were pointing and talking.

At this time, a group of watchmen in black clothes with gongs hanging on their chests in the train station came quickly with knives.

"Bold, how dare you use counterfeit money here, take it down!"

The leader Yingong gave an order.

Immediately, four or five people attacked Zhu Yuanzhang and the two of them.

"Bold! Who dares!"

Erhu was startled, these people are really crazy.

The Daming Treasure Banknote he took out was said to be a counterfeit banknote, and he still wants to take the Holy One?

Erhu was about to wave his hands and call out Jin Yiwei to take down this group of unknown people.

Yin Gong, the leader, went to check the counterfeit banknotes first.

His eyesight was sharper than that of the new conductor, and he could tell at a glance that this was a banknote of the Ming Dynasty that had been revoked a few years ago. Perhaps someone from other places didn't know the situation and misunderstood him.

"Stop, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

The leader, Yin Luo, hurriedly stopped his subordinates, and explained: "This is a banknote of the Ming Dynasty that was invalidated a few years ago, it is not a counterfeit banknote, it is a misunderstanding."

Yinluo went to Zhu Yuanzhang and Erhu again.

"I'm sorry, both of you, this is our mistake." He bowed and apologized, and then returned the Daming treasure to Erhu.

"What do you mean, isn't this a Daming treasure?"

Erhu looked displeased and said, "Didn't that person just say that he wanted to buy a ticket and needed the money of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't that it?"

Yin Luo looked at Er Hu, obviously a little helpless, and said: "Who would have thought that the Daming banknotes that have been abolished for several years can still appear, we are not using this kind of treasure banknotes."

Erhu asked: "What, is there another kind of precious banknote in Peking?"

Yinluo nodded, and then explained: "Now Peiping uses the new second edition of Daming Banknotes. If you have silver notes and cash, you can go there to exchange Daming Banknotes and then buy tickets."

As he spoke, he pointed to a window.

Over there is the place where the Daming Treasure Banknotes are exchanged.

That's right, when Li Xiao issued this treasure note, he didn't think it would only be used in Beiping.

In the future, after his father-in-law Zhu Di ascends the throne, he can directly promote it.

Anyway, sooner or later, it will be promoted nationwide, so the name is Daming Baochao, the new version of Daming Baochao! !
Because it has only appeared for three years, it has not been fully popularized yet, only [-]% of it has been popularized.

However, the banknotes of Daming Treasures are very stable, and there is no slight depreciation.

"What? New version of Daming Treasure Banknote??"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who understood it, was numb, and his scalp was numb! !
Forget about the others, now even treasure banknotes are dared to be printed! !
When Zhu Yuanzhang printed the banknotes at the beginning, he wanted to master the money system of the whole Ming Dynasty.

Once you control the money system, you can then control the people in the world.

Although he failed and gave up.

But that doesn't mean others can do it! !

If you control the money, doesn't that mean you control the country? ? ?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help saying angrily: "Who stipulated that Beiping can print new banknotes?? Don't you, Li Xiao, the prefect of Beiping, don't want your head?"

"How can you call our magistrate by his first name?"

This Tongluo may have a kind of crazy enthusiasm for Li Xiao, and said loudly: "In Beiping, the magistrate is the sky, Li Qingtian, we don't listen to anyone, only Li Qingtian."

The voice fell.

The surrounding people also spoke one after another:
"There's Li Qingtian in Peking, who defends loyalty and traitors sternly and honestly!"

"That's right, since Li Qingtian came to Peiping, the life of our common people has changed drastically."

"We don't listen to anyone, not even the emperor, but Li Qingtian."

Not only Yinluo, but even other common people have a fanaticism towards Li Xiao.

"Bold."

The two tigers were furious.

He was about to wave his hand to take down these unscrupulous troublemakers and this strange man with a gong hanging around his neck.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to interrupt, saying no.

If the identity is revealed, the purpose of unannounced visits will change.

Zhu Yuanzhang also suddenly understood why Li Xiao wanted to show the movie "Daming Li Qingtian" in various places in Beiping.

The content of that movie is all about praising and bragging about how stern and selfless Li Xiao is in Beiping, making decisions for the people.
He does this to better control the people's thoughts and achieve his own goals.

No wonder, no wonder, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Beiping.

It must be able to respond to all calls to be able to do it.

In Beiping, Li Xiao's prestige has reached its peak, surpassing him as the emperor.

This kind of person only needs to raise his arms, and he is afraid that he will be able to organize a powerful army of soldiers and troops immediately, and can turn the dynasty upside down
"Li Xiao, Li Xiao. Fortunately, we know your purpose. You are still our grandson-in-law. Otherwise, just relying on this one, you won't be able to keep your head."

Zhu Yuanzhang's killing intent disappeared in a flash, but he thought of asking him to be sworn brothers with Li Xiao in a few years, and owe Li Xiao a favor, so he pressed it again.

At least for now, he didn't see a commoner dissatisfied with life.

Instead, everyone had a smile on their face.

"What yamen are you from!"

At this time, Erhu frowned and looked at the group of people in front of him.

The black clothes and the gong on the chest are very strange. Does the Ming Dynasty have this yamen?

"Is it from outside?"

Na Yinluo smiled and said: "We are watchmen, mainly responsible for maintaining law and order, catching criminals, and serving the people."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and said goodbye.

"Beat more people"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two tigers and said, "Write this down."

Li Xiao was really bold, he built a new yamen, it must be an institution like Jinyiwei.

No wonder someone impeached him and said that he would set up Jinyiwei again and become king and hegemony
Erhu nodded, took out his notebook and wrote it down.

"Let's go, go over there and have a look, even the Daming treasure banknotes have been printed for us, lawless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the place pointed by the watchman just now.

The window reads: Daming Banknote Exchange Office.

Erhu felt a little disappointed, his precious banknote was still useless
When you get home, throw it away as waste paper.
He walked to the window and asked, "How to exchange?"

The guy in charge of the exchange said with a smile: "You can exchange as much silver as you want for precious banknotes. You can exchange banknotes from well-known banks for silver. You can exchange precious banknotes for silver, and silver for precious banknotes. You can exchange them at will. It's a one-to-one exchange."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly taken aback.

Can be exchanged at will?

The treasure banknotes printed by the imperial court before can only be exchanged for silver, and treasure banknotes cannot be exchanged for silver.

By the way, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of it.
Five years ago, Li Xiao once talked to himself about the depreciation of banknotes.

It is said that if you want the precious banknotes not to depreciate, you must control the issuance of precious banknotes.

It is linked to gold or something, is this the reason?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly: "The banknotes can be exchanged for gold, can gold be exchanged for banknotes?"

The guy smiled and said: "Of course, no matter how you exchange it, you won't lose money. The price of treasure banknotes and gold and silver are equivalent. The three can be exchanged anytime and anywhere. Except for our temporary station, there is also the Daming Bank in Beiping City. It's convertible."

"Change!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered: "Two tigers, let's exchange 1000 taels first."

He wanted to see if Li Xiao's Daming banknotes could be freely used in Beiping.

After all, when I promoted Daming Treasure Banknotes before, many people did not recognize or accept them.
"Yes."

Erhu took out a 1000 tael bank note and handed it over.

After the guy inspected it and confirmed the authenticity, he took out 1000 taels of treasure notes, "For your convenience, here are some scattered ones for you."

Erhu took the banknote and felt something different when he touched it.

This treasure is small, very small, and very light.

The precious banknotes issued by the imperial court use mulberry paper as the printing material.

The bill is one foot long and six inches wide.

The expansion is very large, and there are various anti-counterfeiting marks on it.

And this treasure banknote is only the size of a palm, with two ends long.

The treasure banknote reads: Daming Tongxing Banknote.

The denominations above are different, including: 100 taels, 50 taels, 20 taels, ten taels, five taels, one taels, five qian, and one qian.

Erhu counted the number. There were nine pieces of 100 taels, one piece of 50 taels, one piece of 20 taels, two pieces of ten taels, one piece of five taels, three pieces of one tael, three pieces of five pieces of money, and five pieces of one piece of money.

Erhu lit it and found something was wrong.

His brow began to sweat.

The number is no problem.

It is indeed 1000 taels.

But Baochao has a big problem
The small amount is okay, the pattern on it is a landscape.

On the big banknote, there is actually a portrait printed on it.

This avatar.
Erhu didn't dare to look at it any longer, sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Master Huang here."

"What's the matter, show us."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the banknote from Erhu, looked carefully, and was stunned!
This treasure banknote feels very good, and it has a concave and convex feeling.

It was actually printed with colored ink.

These are nothing.

The face of their family is actually printed on the banknote! ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang only felt his scalp tingling.

He flipped through the banknotes in his hand.

20 taels of silver, printed with Zhu Gaochi's head portrait.

50 taels of silver, printed with Zhu Di's head portrait.

And the 100 taels of silver was actually printed with his own profile picture.

What's worth mentioning is that Li Xiao actually printed his own face on the denomination of a penny.

It's numb, Zhu Yuanzhang is completely numb!

This Li Xiao not only printed precious banknotes privately.

Even the family portraits were printed on it.
Outrageous, outrageous!

"Master Huang, think about the good."

Erhu whispered from the side: "In this way, people all over the world can see your valiant appearance and remember you from generation to generation."

He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to explode, so he hurriedly found a reason to persuade him so as not to hurt the innocent
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang eased up a bit.

He stared blankly at his own portrait on the one hundred and two bills in his hand.

No. It doesn't make sense.
The self on this banknote looks like he was 30 years old, and his appearance at that time was indeed wise and mighty!

If this precious banknote can really be passed on and used, wouldn't the world remember him as Hongwu Emperor from generation to generation? ?
"Let's not talk about this, go buy a ticket and see what the train is"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around and saw that there were seats in the hall, so he sat down to rest.

Erhu went to buy a ticket with the banknotes.

For two denarii, buy two tickets and use two one-denoir banknotes.

When buying the ticket, Erhu suddenly found out that Li Xiao printed his face on the coin, probably on purpose, as the rate of use of this coin is the highest
Not long after, I bought the ticket. After Erhu inquired, I found that there was a time limit for the departure of the train, so Erhu asked what time it was, and the clerk replied: "Departure at nine o'clock."

Then, Er Hu appeared on the head:? ? ? ?
The guy explained with a smile: "Master Zhifu changed the time of Beiping from 24 o'clock to [-] hours. There is a big clock tower in Beiping City. The time of the clock tower shall prevail."

As he spoke, he pointed to the side: "See, that's a clock. When the shortest pointer reaches nine, it's nine o'clock, and the train leaves on the hour."

Erhu turned his head and saw a big guy, how tall a person is, with a wooden shell, a hammer swinging from side to side, a disc and pointers with one long and one short on it. After studying it, he found that it was clock
"Master Huang has bought the ticket. It's nine o'clock and it's nine o'clock."

Returning to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Erhu explained: "Nine o'clock should be the beginning of Sishi, one hour has been changed to two hours, 24 hours a day"

"What???"

Zhu Yuanzhang was numb, and said speechlessly: "Even the time set by the ancestors has been changed?? How to determine the time?"

"Master Huang, look, it's the clock over there."

The two tigers led Zhu Yuanzhang to a big clock, "Just now, my subordinates have already asked clearly. Every swing of the pendulum below is one second, 60 seconds is one minute, six ten minutes is one hour, and there are 1 hours in a day."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he realized that this clock was amazing.

"Now you can keep time without a sundial?"

You must know that in order to ensure the accuracy of the time, the Ministry of Rites has a special office for timekeeping, and there is always a special person to record it to ensure the accuracy of the time. Once you encounter continuous rainy days, you can only rely on the timing of the Ministry of Rites.

"This can actually keep time? But what if the clock fails?"

"Master Huang, everything is subject to the bell tower in Beiping City."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He thought to himself, Li Xiao has changed everything, how come there are so many strange ideas in his mind
However, dividing twelve o'clock into 24 hours is more convenient for timing. One hour is too long, and sometimes it is really difficult to confirm the exact time.

And this clock is accurate to the minute
At this time, a wealthy businessman in silk and satin walked in front of the clock. He looked at the clock and checked something in his palm.

Then he nodded and was about to leave.

"What's in your hand??"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw a delicate little thing in his hand at a glance.

"You say this?"

The rich businessman saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes were not ordinary, so he was willing to chat, and said with a smile: "This is a pocket watch, to tell the time."

As he spoke, he also showed off the exquisite pocket watch in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened immediately.

"May I borrow it?" Erhu asked hastily.

"Well." After hesitating for a moment, the wealthy businessman nodded, "Yes, but be careful, this one is more expensive, and there are not many of them in Beiping."

While speaking, he was full of pride. Owning this pocket watch represented a status symbol.

Erhu took the pocket watch and respectfully handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he was taken aback again.

Good guy, this small and exquisite thing is similar to the big clock, and it is also used to tell the time. Isn't it possible to tell the time anytime, anywhere? ? ?

"How much is this taels of silver?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly moved his mind and wanted to buy it.

"Sorry, this is not for sale."

The wealthy businessman explained: "If you want to buy it, you can go to a watch shop in Beiping to buy it. Such a pocket watch costs 1000 taels of silver."

"Ten taels?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was expensive at first, but then he felt that it was not expensive at all. The exquisite and small object in his palm was like carrying a sundial with him, and it was the kind that was not afraid of rainy days.

"Hmph, we don't need to buy it. We went to Peiping, so someone will give us a gift."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought, when we go to Beiping, wouldn't Li Xiao give us the best pocket watch? ?

Thinking of this, he gave the pocket watch to Erhu, and Erhu returned it to the businessman.

When the businessman heard this, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of background, and he didn't seem to be lying, so he took out his business card and handed it over with a smile on his face:

"Let me introduce myself, Zhang Tiezhu, a member of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce. There is a large chicken farm in Dong'an County. We sell fat chickens and eggs. You are a foreigner. When the railway is connected to Yuanyuan in the future, if there is a business in this area, you can buy it." Let me introduce you, nice to meet you."

"chicken farm?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and said, "I have a chance to visit."

The businessman said: "Waiting for you at any time, I don't know your Excellency."

Erhu introduced: "My master's surname is Huang, and he is in the grain merchant business."

The businessman said with a smile: "Master Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you. You look like a nobleman."

At this time, a staff member of the railway station shouted: "Passengers, the train is ready to depart at 15:[-], and enter [-] minutes earlier. Passengers, please get your tickets and enter sequentially."

Afterwards, the common people were seen lining up and entering one by one.

"Master Huang, come with me. I have a VIP card here, and I can go through the VIP passage. I will arrange for you to sit in the VIP car later."

The businessman named Zhang Tiezhu warmly invited him.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and followed.

Xindao, this Li Xiao also divides people into three, six, and nine classes.
As expected, there were very few people in this VIP channel.

Through the VIP passage, there is a table blocking the entrance.

An identity check is required.

When he arrived at the VIP checkpoint, Zhang Tiezhu reported his identity and took out his identification badge, and the guy began to check the number of VIPs.

Tooth plaques were used in the Ming Dynasty to prove their identity, and Li Xiao did not change this point.

"Zhang Tiezhu, VIP No. 0189, please enter."

The man put Zhang Tiezhu in.

That Tie Zhu said with a smile: "These two are my distinguished guests, help me to register, I will lead them in, and the fee will be charged to my head."

The guy smiled and said: "Okay, no problem. Please tell me your name, please take out your tooth card and simply register."

"Huang Ba, Wang Erhu."

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang and Erhu took out tooth cards from their pockets and registered them.

Zhu Yuanzhang's tooth card is a fake identity, but Erhu is real.

"Wang Erhu, from Nanjing, after entering Beiping, remember to go to Shequ to apply for a floating population permit, please come in."

After the buddy registered, he put the two tigers in first.

Then start to register Huangba's Huh. Huangba?

He frowned, the name was too familiar.

Because the Tianzi No. [-] in the VIP brochure is Huang Ba's name.

"This guest. Are you Huang Ba?"

The man looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.

"That's right, we are Huang Ba, how about it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated: "Can't you go in?"

"No no no, you misunderstood."

The guy immediately became very respectful, bowed and said: "Master Huang Ba, you are our VIP No. It’s the Tianzi carriage.”

The so-called Tianzi carriage was used by Li Xiao's family. No matter how rich the other people were, they couldn't take it.

hiss! ! !
That Zhang Tiezhu gasped.

I actually made friends with such a person! !

I didn't expect that. I'm so lucky.
Tianzi compartment, Tianzi No. [-] VIP! ! !
Isn't this Mr. Huang Ba a relative of Mr. Li, the magistrate?

Make a good friend, you must make a good friend!

"We Huang Ba are the No. [-] VIP in Tianzi."

"That kid Li Xiao prepared this, right? He's still thinking about us."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a warm current pouring into his heart, making his whole body warm.

When a person reaches old age, what he longs for most is to get the care of his relatives.

Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons were all enfeoffed in various places, and they were not allowed to leave the fief. They seldom met each other and lacked the care of their sons.

And Li Xiao, who hadn't seen him for five years, always kept himself in his heart.

This sudden scene reminded him of the time he and Li Xiao were in the yard five years ago, which he vividly remembered.

He still remembers us, remembers us.
"Master Huang is good."

At this time, a buddy came and bowed respectfully, "Master Huang, please go with me. Please."

Tianzi No. [-] VIP, the treatment given is the treatment of Tianzi No. [-].

Full escort service!

"Lead the way." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Surprised by Zhang Tiezhu, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang very consciously, and he, a VIP customer, could not enjoy such treatment.
After passing through the passage and coming to the square, a huge monster came into view.

steam train!

Steam locomotives, also called steam locomotives, are the earliest and oldest trains that use coal as power and steam engines as the core. By using coal to boil water, the water turns into steam, thereby pushing the piston to make the train run.

The train is pitch black, and there is a big chimney at the front of the locomotive, and a big Ming flag is planted in front of it.

The outer skin of the eight carriages is painted with army green paint. Under the carriages are round steel wheels that are hundreds of meters long, like a dragon! ! !
In the feudal society, I can't even imagine how it was made.
"God, this train is so spectacular!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.

The two tigers on the side were also dumbfounded.

It's numb, Zhu Yuanzhang's feet are numb again, his scalp is numb! !

And there were many people in the square who took the train for the first time, and they were shocked:

"Is this the legendary steam train?"

"It's magnificent, it's magnificent, my God."

"Master Zhifu is really a god, he can actually create such a big guy"

"That's not true. With this train, we ordinary people don't have to buy expensive carriages to drive. This train will soon reach Peiping."

"Miracle, Li Qingtian, Li Qingtian!! Daming Li Qingtian!"

"With our Li Qingtian in Peking, life is getting better every day."

Many people even knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to the train a few times!
There is no other reason, they all feel too shocked, just like a fairy.

"Master Huang, it's the first time I've seen a train. I'm like you too, but you'll get used to it after sitting too much." Zhang Tiezhu on the side chatted enthusiastically.

It took a long time for Zhu Yuanzhang to recover from his surprise.

He pointed to the train and asked, "This iron lump, can it go faster than a carriage?"

"It's not only faster than a carriage, it's faster than riding a horse, and it doesn't need to rest."

Zhang Tiezhu enthusiastically explained: "At this time, it is only Beiping. I heard that when the railway arrives in Nanjing, it will take one day to travel from Beiping to Nanjing!"

hiss!
Zhu Yuanzhang gasped.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to quickly transport troops and food to Peiping?
At the beginning, Emperor Sui Yang spent countless lives digging the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

It is for the south-to-north grain transfer! !
And Li Xiao created a train more efficient than the Grand Canal in only five years?
The wonders of the ages are shocking! ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang only felt trembling all over, and was very pleasantly surprised! !

This train will be famous forever, forever! ! !

"Master Huang, please move, this is the Tianzi No. [-] carriage."

The guy bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and followed. He wanted to see what the inside of the train looked like and what it felt like to sit up.

"Are these two friends of Master Huang?"

The guy looked at Erhu and Zhang Tiezhu, they were not VIPs.

Zhang Tiezhu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang expectantly, he also wanted to take this Tianzi carriage
"Yes, let them come together."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Needless to say, Erhu, this Zhang Tiezhu stayed, and he could ask about things later.

"Thank you, Master Huang." Zhang Tiezhu was very excited.

in this way,

The three entered the Tianzi carriage.

This carriage cannot be called a railway carriage at all, it is simply a room with a soft carpet on the floor, a soft couch, a big bed, seats, and a separate cook, buddy.
"My God, this carriage is too luxurious"

Zhang Tiezhu, who saw the Tianzi carriage for the first time, became numb.

This is countless times better than the VIP car.

Zhu Yuanzhang found a table and sat down, while Erhu led Zhang Tiezhu to sit at the next table.

As soon as we sat down, the waiters brought good tea, exquisite pastries, freshly cut melons and fruits, and the best melon seeds and peanuts, all on the table one by one.

And asked Mr. Huang if he wanted to eat something.

But Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and refused.

"My God, what kind of treatment is this?" Zhang Tiezhu looked straight.

Of course, they also brought a copy to their table.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat by the window and saw that there was no movement on the train, so he asked, "When will we leave?"

"Master Huang, the train will leave in five minutes."

The guy immediately explained.

Waited patiently for 5 minutes.

suddenly,

An extremely loud whistle sounded.

woo woo woo———

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help looking forward to how the train would move.

Immediately afterwards, the entire carriage began to vibrate.

bang dang bang dang bang dang
The frequency is getting faster and faster, and the speed of the train is getting faster and faster.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting by the car window, felt that the surrounding scenery began to recede gradually, faster and faster, and a cool wind rushed towards his face.

bang dang bang dang bang dang
At the back, the carriage gradually stabilized, and the scene of receding around gradually blurred, and it really surpassed the speed of the horses
Fast, too fast!
If this speed is maintained, the distance from Nanjing to Beiping can really be achieved in one day
How exactly is this done.
Zhu Yuanzhang got up slowly, wondering if he couldn't stand up at such a fast speed?
But when he stood up and walked around, he found that he was walking on flat ground! !

"Okay! That's great!! I didn't expect such a fetish to appear in my Daming."

"This is the most important weapon of the country! The most important weapon of Ming Dynasty!"

"Even if they are separated by thousands of miles, they can be reached day and night!!"

"A train that travels thousands of miles a day without tires brings unimaginable changes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, if he had this thing, he would be able to open up the territory and expand the territory of Ming Dynasty to a farther place!
"It's a pity. We are getting old. In the future, we can only rely on the fourth child to do this."

Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth in the carriage, walked around a few times, and then returned to the soft couch to sit down.

Clouds and winds come flying in the rain, and you can see all over Kyushu in an instant.

Listening to the sound of the new water near the outside, the sky is open to the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and couldn't help but think of a poem he wrote before, and the situation and scene were like such a poem.

In an instant, I can see all over Kyushu through the clouds and fog. At the beginning, I just used this to express my ambition, but I didn't expect that it can really be realized now.
Ok, great! !
Li Xiao, oh Li Xiao, we sure didn't misread you!
Even if you are brave in every way, you are not in every way!

A train more magical than the Grand Canal
This one can make up for all mistakes!

"Master Huang, this is a letter. The magistrate left it to the distinguished guest of Tianzi No. [-], that is, you. He said that if the distinguished guest of Tianzi No. [-] visits, he must hand over this letter to you."

At this time, the man on the train respectfully put the letter in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"A letter? That kid Li Xiao left it for us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, picked up the letter, waved his hand, and the servants next to him retreated one after another.

He opened the envelope, took out the letter, and looked down, it was indeed left by Li Xiao.

[Brother Huang Ba, see the words like me. ]
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel warm when he saw the words of Big Brother Rhubarb. It was really Li Xiao who left it for us. He continued to look down.

[Seeing this letter, it proves that the eldest brother came to visit the people in private to check the people's sentiments.

Haven't seen each other for five years?

The eldest brother once said that he would come to see the younger brother in a year.

But the little brother waited and waited, but he couldn't wait for the big brother to come.

Haven't seen you for many years, miss you so much!
As you can see, the city of Peking has undergone tremendous changes.

In the past five years, my younger brother has been fighting for New Peiping day and night. My younger brother once said that we must build a prosperous Ming Dynasty.

After years of hard work, we finally saw some signs in Beiping City.

Nowadays, Peiping has achieved the goal of teaching, earning income, getting medical treatment for sickness, getting care for old age, and living in a place where people can live.

There were a lot of difficulties, a lot of opposition, and a lot of places that chilled me. I wanted to give up many times, but my younger brother gritted his teeth and persisted.

During this period, many methods were used, even the army was used to suppress it. There was a painful period of time, but that was all in the past tense. As the elder brother said, which reform method does not bleed?
The reform spans a wide range and completely changed many of the big brother's systems.

Please forgive me for this point!
The next step is the national well-off plan.

Let people all over the world live a better life! ! !
So many things, too many words to describe.

Big brother, little brother misses you!

After reading this letter, after you have visited Beiping, remember to inform me so that my little brother will know that our big brother is coming, and we must give you the best hospitality!

In addition, I hope you can live here with peace of mind, let's live a happy life!
Free time, health care, fishing.

Don't leave when you come to Peking
—————— Dear little brother Li Xiao. ]
Read the letter.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched it again, and after that, he could not speak for a long time.
heart is moved
Li Xiao, Li Xiao.

You really moved us, we don't even know what to say to you
