Chapter 680: A giant leap for mankind

When Xia Yuanji saw Hao Fenglou, he was a little embarrassed, but Yang Jingren and others on the side were all petrified.

Xia Yuanji had no choice but to laugh and cry, "Mr. Hao is so polite."

After a few short words, there was still more friendly elements. Hao Fenglou was not humble. A guard brought a wooden bench and sat down without hesitation. Yang Jing next to him did not dare to speak, but quickly took a wine cup and added rice wine. Most of the others were Ye Gong Haolong. He usually called intimately as the defense of Lord Hao, but now he is silent.

Hao Fenglou didn't mind the wine cup was greasy, so he picked it up directly. After drinking a glass of rice wine, his eyes never left Xia Yuanji, and said with a smile: "Xiabutang..."

Xia Yuanji waved his hand quickly: "I am already idle clouds and wild cranes, and I really don't dare to be the word "Tribean".

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "Then what if you call Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yuanji shook his head again: "Everyone here is called Mr. Xia."

Hao Fenglou smiled pursed his lips and said, "Have Mr. Xia lived here? Since Mr. Xia arrived here, the Hao family has not deliberately ignored him, but... "

Xia Yuanji smiled: "Xia knows Lingzun's intentions, and it is embarrassing to meet. So why do you have to meet? In fact, I came here because of the care of you father and son. Life is free and easy, and I have made some new friends and many new things. It is really gratifying that the Marquis has made new contributions. He heard that His Majesty urgently summoned the sea to the capital, but he didn't know when the Marquis planned to set off."

The conversation started, and it was in this occasion full of urban atmosphere. Both parties who spoke did not feel abrupt. Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "It's a pity that there is still a big thing. You have to do it before you can set off. It's not that you are slouching the emperor's order, but if you don't do it properly, you will inevitably feel relieved."

Xia Yuanji is a gentleman. Of course, he would not ask about other people's major affairs, but just smiled: "The big thing in the marquis's mouth must be a big thing that is overwhelming." He unconsciously took the edamame from the plate, peeled it open, and put it into his mouth.

This inadvertent action is fine on such occasions. Edamame is eaten like this. But if the people in Jinling look at it, they will be stunned.

Hao Fenglou ate another mouthful of rice wine and said, "Mr. Xia is smiling and makes people ashamed. Come on, eat the bar first."

After Hao Fenglou said that, he summoned several guards to sit down together, and the guards all looked solemn. However, Hao Fenglou summoned them, and they all came to bring stools, took a square table, and put them together. Everyone found the wooden stools and started to eat wine next to the stall under the lights.

Strangely, there are merchants, once famous tribes, famous princes and marquis of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary teachers, and powerful big-headed soldiers of Kong Wu.

After three rounds of drinking, even Yang Jing let go. He was curious and couldn't help saying, "The Marquis's alcohol is good, and the students can't bear it. If you can drink and have fun with the Marquis, no one believes it. The student is really presumptuous and always wants to ask, but he doesn't know what the Marquis's major event is in Liangshan. It is... it is..."

Hao Fenglou took over the conversation: "If this matter is done, it will definitely change the pattern of Lang Son, and even Jiaozhi and Siam will be completely renewed."

Yang Jing thought Hao Fenglou was unwilling to say it, so he said some empty words to make excuses. He didn't care. He smiled in his heart. He was indeed presumptuous and was still inconvenient to ask some words.

Xia Yuanji's face was slightly red, but his eyebrows were raised slightly, as if he was a little moved. In his opinion, Lang San was already called a brand new look. Isn't there enough changes in the pattern of Lang San? What else is there that Hao Fenglou is so respectful.

After drinking, he couldn't help but: "I don't know what the Marquis said."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Mr. Xia wants to see?"

Hao Fenglou's problem was unexpected. Xia Yuanji held up the wine cup and said without saying a word, "I want to see a little bit."

"Okay." Hao Fenglou smiled: "Okay, then tomorrow, Mr. Hao will ask his husband for a leave in the guard. Mr. Xia is afraid that he will go to bed early. In the early morning, there will be no need to wait for Mr. Xia."

Xia Yuanji was a little stunned, wondering what mysterious Hao Fenglou was selling.

I ate a few more incense sticks. In fact, afterwards, many people have forgotten what everyone said. There is no need to remember what they said at the table. Everyone left their seats. Hao Fenglou taught people to understand the account, and everyone left their own way and did not mention it.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next morning, Xia Yuanji got up, washed up, and was about to go to the duty, but as soon as he left the house he rented, there was a carriage waiting outside. Hao Fenglou rode a strong horse and waved to him: "Sir, get on the car quickly, it's going to be late."

Xia Yuanji remembered what happened last night. He thought it was just a polite word, but it turned out to be taken seriously. He felt a little apologized. The carriage was hanging in Shanghai. It was obvious that Hao Fenglou had arrived a long time ago. The moisture was heavy in the early morning. Hao Fenglou was afraid of disturbing his rest, so he waited here all night.

Xia Yuanji exchanged a few greetings, but he was not polite and got on the carriage.

The carriage went straight toward the south of the city.

It took more than an hour to leave the city. A little further apart was where the workshops gathered, but the team had not stopped yet and continued to move forward. It took another half an hour to see some places like mines. The carriage finally stopped.

At this time, it was already noisy outside, so someone said, "The student has seen the Marquis. The Marquis should be dismounted quickly. We have been waiting for the Marquis to read it for a long time."

The speaker was very excited, and even his voice was trembling.

When Xia Yuanji got off the car, he saw many people surrounding him. The leader was a unshaven Confucian scholar and many shallow men.

But soon, Xia Yuanji was attracted by a novel thing. It was here a railway track. Xia Yuanji had seen some of these railway tracks. In some mines, some railway tracks were often laid, and some coal-pulled carriages were walking on top. It is said that this would save some manpower. The carriages would carry much more cargo on the rails than on flat ground.

But the railway tracks are obviously wider than those railway tracks, but also smoother, which is obviously very different. There are sleepers and gravel in the middle, which has an indescribable smell.

On this railway track, there is a huge creature, which is as tall as two people. They are made of fine iron all over their body, and there are wheels at the bottom. The wheels are connected with the rails, and the wheels are connected by things, but I don’t know what they are doing.

"It looks like a car..." Xia Yuanji muttered in his heart. Because this thing is too huge, Xia Yuanji began to doubt his judgment. Because this car is at least thousands of pounds, who can push such a car?

There seem to be busy people inside and outside the "iron truck". Some are checking the wheels, and some are checking various parts inside. Hao Fenglou looked at the car with his hands behind his back, feeling very satisfied. This thing is already somewhat similar to the steam trains in later generations. In fact, the principle of the steam train is not complicated. The key to the problem lies in the emergence of the steam engine, which requires breakthroughs in other aspects, such as the smelting level of steel and the forging of complex construction. These things seem simple, but without breakthroughs, they cannot be achieved.

Fortunately, after several years of leapfrog development, Liangshan has roughly met these conditions. Even if it is not met, there is an alternative solution. Hao Fenglou's greatest contribution is that he pointed out a way and direction for these smartest people, which greatly shortened the emergence of trains by ten or even twenty years. It is necessary to know that things are spiraling up and developing. Many times, the emergence of so-called new things, I don't know how many detours have been taken. The development of technology is often tried again and again. After hitting the wall in front and bleeding, I have to return to the starting point and continue to take a new path. After dozens of failures, decades will pass. When the correct direction is found and this direction can produce enough benefits, new things will appear and be carried forward. In the end, future generations can continue to innovate on this basis.

There were several carriages behind the locomotive. The carriages were filled with cargo, all of which were huge rocks. They looked like they weighed tens of thousands of pounds, and there was another carriage different. There were fixed tables and chairs inside. The unshaven scholar hurriedly said, "Please, Marquis, Marquis, please get on the car."

Hao Fenglou was quite a bit of fearless spirit of dedication to science. He said in his heart that if something went wrong with the car, he would be finished, but he still got on the car. Other guards, craftsmen and scholars went up one after another. Hao Fenglou poked his head out of the window of the car, waved to Xia Yuanji, and said, "Mr. Xia, please get on the car."

If Xia Yuanji in Jinling had seen this scene, he would have been shocked. But when he arrived in Lang San, he was not surprised by many things, so he got into the car.

There were many seats in the car, and there were lanterns inlaid in the wall of the cabin. Xia Yuanji was not polite and found an empty seat to sit down. The unshaven scholar was still introducing Hao Fenglou to the public, saying: "The car has been produced and has been tested dozens of times. It can be safe and safe. I asked the Marquis to come and see him. Can the Marquis start?"
