Chapter 278 Changfeng (15)

Knock, knock, knock.

As soon as Zhong Jianzhong woke up, his ears were filled with the familiar sound of the train.

He sat up from the bed and rubbed his groggy head: "Where did you go?"

The personal soldiers' answer came from outside the car door: "I just passed Fuping after returning to the strategy."

"Slow enough."

"It's too slow. I'm going to eat in the morning."

"It's OK yesterday."

Zhong Jianzhong patted his face hard, then turned over and got out of bed.

The body is strong and the ground is silent.

It is as light and powerful as a leopard when attacking.

Zhong Jianzhong Chong's dressing mirror fixed to the wall showed a childish smile.

Below the smile are the angular muscles.

Zhong Jianzhong was very satisfied with his still young movements and figure. He was over half of his forties and had no prominent belly, so he was completely worthy of being proud of himself.

Think about his seventeenth brother. After he was thirty years old, he was the same every year. When he stayed in the Western Regions for another two years, he could no longer see his figure.

Nowadays, unlike in the past, the waist is wide and ten circumferences are emphasized. The so-called gentleman is not important or powerful. The wider his body is, the more respected he is.

Nowadays, we pay attention to moderate diet and healthy health. The medical community criticizes the eating habits of wealthy families with more meat and fewer vegetables, and believes that excessive oil intake is the main cause of strokes for many people.

In the past, the emperors were obviously fed with wealth and food, but before they could grow old, they were plagued by wind and fever, and no one could even reach their sixties. It was entirely because of the lack of wine and meat every meal and vegetables.

The menu used in the palace is a jade food batch compiled by the Neiren of Sishen in recent years and has been released to the outside of the palace by the palace: the appetizing and braised chicken is full of meat, and there are more than 20 dishes such as big oil, big meat, and the side dishes such as food and urged wine are all meaty. The rest are molasses and soups, and the soups are sweet meat soups, for fear that the emperor will not be able to suffer from strokes and diabetes.

This way of eating vegetables is so popular among the people that they are not good at all, and they are only used as embellishments. The most serious examples of the consequences caused by Zanjianzhong have seen with his own eyes.

One of his subordinates likes to eat scattered in daily life. Because he owned some shares in several factories, he bought some Ping'an bonds, and collected dividends and interest every year - many Western Army generals and schools basically made similar investments - so he has a wealth of wealth and is always drunk and meat every day, and is called a gourmet.

One time at a celebration banquet after the summer exercise, I ate four or five kilograms of meat in one go, drank more than two kilograms of soju, and poured it down on the spot.

At first, the medical officer gave him medicine, but the potion overflowed. The needle was acupuncture and there was no response. The pulse was almost gone. After it was confirmed that it was internal bleeding, and if it wanted to have an emergency blood transfusion, the blood drawn from his body could be separated from half of the tube of white oil.

Such blood doctors could not confirm the blood type and did not dare to transfusion at all. Finally, they had no choice but to use caesarean section to treat it. But when they cut the belly, which was nearly one foot thick, they found that their internal organs were almost rotten into mud.

This subordinate of Zhong Jianzhong did not survive until the operating table.

Throughout August, all the generals and schoolmen on Ningxia Road started to eat brown rice and vegetables, and the consumption of mutton dropped by half. In autumn, the shock was over and recovered a little. However, the consequences were still some. Several generals were so fat that they could hardly get up, but in autumn, they could ride on fast horses and follow the brigade to hunt.

Zhong Jianzhong never had this problem. The key to health preservation was that he received a secret teaching from Hangang in his early years. He had a regular behavior and a moderate diet, and did not lose anything or make mistakes or lose money. In the final analysis, it was the word "moderate".

Han Gang is so busy that he can take time to practice martial arts, let alone him as a general?

Therefore, when people in middle age, they still maintain a good body shape that young people must envy. Moreover, they have never been unable to do anything during the day or at night.

This is one thing he has always been proud of.

However, when Zhong Jianzhong washed up in the slightly cramped bathroom in the carriage, he walked into the dining car behind and saw Yao Gu, the Yanzhou military commander, sitting at the dining table, with a few plates of meat and vegetables lined up on the table, and was throwing his cheeks and stuffing a slice of roasted beef into his mouth.

When steam power was used in farming, slaughtering oxen was no longer a violation of the law. The court issued an order to relax the ban, and the generals and officials in the army immediately began to openly ate beef. These warriors believed that the meat of oxen that could be able to pick up plows would definitely be more powerful than mutton. Beef is more expensive than mutton. If you have money, you naturally put beef first.

Zhong Jianzhong also ate beef, but Yao Gu's way of eating made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want to be troublesome and sat down at another table through the aisle, "When did Yao San come up? Why didn't you see when you passed Yanzhou?"

"I have something to do in Fangzhou, and I came up at night."

"Don't sleep for a while?"

He took the tag and inserted a piece of beef. Yao Gu chewed it and complained, "This narrow car is too slow. It took him a night to get to Fuping. The bed is small and he is sleeping so hard that he is not happy. It is better to get up and get some food."

"Narrow-gauge road, if you drive fast, just wait for the overturn."

The train the two were riding on was on the Changyan line from Yanzhou to Jingzhao Prefecture. Although it was Jingzhao Prefecture, the character Jing was occupied by Kaifeng. To be changed, the nerd in the General Railway Administration used the Haojing of the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, according to regulations, the common names with local consensus were used as much as possible in the naming of railway highways, so the Changyan Railway was found.

This railway stretches south from the mountainous areas of northern Shaanxi and reaches Jingzhao Prefecture, the core of the Guanzhong Plain. It is one of the important routes connecting the northern part of Guanxi. According to the design plan, there is another route from Yanzhou to the north, leading to the Linfufeng of Hewai, which is occupied by the Zhe family. From then on, Guanxi Jianer was able to appear in the clouds of Hewai within a few days, pacifying the enemy and suppressing the rebellion, but this section has not been completely repaired and can be put into use for several years.

Through the double-glazed windows of the dining car, you can see that the train is slowly moving forward on the Baiku irrigation area north of the Wei River.

The Baiqu irrigation area has just undergone a large-scale expansion, with 179 new large and small reservoir ponds, more than 2,300 miles of main canal branch canals, and more than 30,000 hectares of dry land. The semi-arid land has been newly transformed into irrigated land, and the old canals have been repaired. The annual grain output is conservatively estimated to be 5 million stones.

Looking over from the slightly higher railway, the fields, fields, canals and rivers are intertwined into a net, and they are erected in a vertical and horizontal manner, like a chessboard. The neat greenness of the eyes makes people feel refreshed at just one glance.

However, the speed of the train can be judged from the milestones and trees on both sides of the railway, which is indeed very slow.

It took two days to go, and the train departing from Yanzhou had not arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture. It was only more than 600 miles away. It was on a normal railway and arrived one day earlier.

Maybe the cross wind blew over the river, and the train passing by a railway bridge was shaking.

The load is small, the vehicle is light, the body is narrow, the speed is slow, the wind resistance is poor, and it is easy to overturn when the speed is fast. This is the narrow-gauge railway train that the two are riding on.

Yao Gu grabbed the teacup that was almost shook off the table, "It's better to change it to a standard track as soon as possible. The car is like a donkey riding, and it's afraid of turning it over and over again."

"I asked the people from the General Railway Administration long ago, don't expect to be able to standardize the tracks in Kansai."

Kansai is full of mountains, and in addition to the Guanzhong Plain, it is also mountainous. The technical requirements and costs of road construction are higher than the Guandong Plain.

For this reason, most sections of the railway in Kansai are selected at the edge of the river valley, which is easy to build, and have a certain height, and are not flooded. However, there are also some sections that have to cross mountains and ridges, which is very troublesome. Building bridges and tunnels are inevitable projects. Especially for tunnels, it is common to dig and collapse. It is also a case of digging holes and digging out a dark river, so they are all going around as much as possible to go up the mountain.

After going north for dozens of miles, turn around and walk south for dozens of miles. The two roads are almost parallel, but the height difference comes out. In order to increase by one or two hundred meters, you have to walk an additional 100 miles. Build with standard tracks, and the cost and technical requirements are exaggerated, so there are narrow tracks.

The narrow-gauge railway road width is only two-thirds of the standard rail, and the upper limit of capacity and speed is relatively low, but the advantage is that it is easy to build and cost is reduced. After obtaining the cost and technical benefits, the problem is speed and safety.

After complaining a few times, Zhongjianzhong's breakfast was brought over by his personal soldiers. A standard healthy breakfast is balanced with nutrition and a combination of meat and vegetables.

Yao Gu glanced at it and sneered: "Zhong Shijiu, are you still feeling depressed by this meal?"

Zhong Jianzhong picked up the chopsticks and said, "You are so careful that you will get sick if you eat."

Yao Gu bit off a large piece of meat in one bite, chewed it hard for a few times, stretched his neck and swallowed it, revealing his mouth full of white teeth, "This cannot be eaten, that cannot be drunk, be careful as if a new bride, what else is there to be a human being?"

He grabbed the teacup, took two sips to relieve the greasiness, "If you die, you will die. You need to eat meat."

Zhong Jianzhong ignored Yao Gu. The relationship between the two families was not very good. He had not had much contact with Yao Gu over the years and focused on his own breakfast.

Yao Gu stopped chopsticks, "Zhong Jingluo Uncle Yi, my husband asked us to go to Jingzhao, what's the matter?"
