Chapter 157 The Man Who Fought the Train

The train is something that Yun Zhao really has after coming to Daming.

That's why his mood has changed so much.

This thing is also the closest thing to his life, and with the train, Yun Zhao feels as if he is a big step closer to his own world.

He really hopes that the train can bring Daming into a new era.

He had to hide this thought, and he couldn't tell anyone, even if he had a lot of money, Yun Zhao was ready not to say anything.

Man is actually a complex animal, at least, no man can be absolutely honest when it comes to honesty.

So after the ecstatic Yun Zhao returned to Yushan City, he returned to his former appearance.

Now, there is not much he can do, and a broken Ming wants to recover completely, and he can't get it without ten years of work.

Although Xia Wanchun didn't understand where the master's focus was, he still faithfully carried out the master's order, and both the train freight and the bus ticket were reduced by half at the same time.

As a direct consequence of this, the newly built railways began to run day and night, and not only that, but the number of locomotives running on the railways doubled.

At this time, Xia Wanchun suddenly discovered that the wired telegraph that the master had been making finally came into use, at least it played a great role in the marshalling of the railway.

In particular, it plays a greater role in real-time monitoring of locomotive positions.

With this thing, there is no need to worry about accidents when several locomotives are running on the same railway at the same time.

Even if one of the locomotives breaks down, you can stop the train behind you in advance.

He is now the commander of Lantian County, so naturally he will not personally pay attention to the improvement of this cable telegraph, and after entrusting the subject to the Yushan Research Institute, he began to examine the impact of the reduction of railway freight on the national economy and people's livelihood.

In particular, it is necessary to monitor those places where civil unrest is likely to occur.

Thousands of miles of carriage line!

This is the largest carriage shop in Lantian County, but also the oldest history of a carriage shop, they are not only responsible for helping guests transport goods, transport people, but also take over the business of the dart bureau, there are 2,000 carriages in the whole carriage shop, there are more than 3,000 people rely on the carriage shop to eat, in Lantian County is a non-negligible existence.

Lantian County is prosperous in commerce, naturally there is no only such a carriage shop, if you count all the large and small carriage shops, the number of people who eat this meal exceeds 10,000 people.

If you count Chang'an, Yushan, and Phoenix Mountain City, there are more people.

Since he began to build the railway, Xia Wanchun has found Zhao Wanli, the shopkeeper of the carriage shop, and told him in detail about the impact of the railway repair on their car dealership, and told Zhao Wanli bluntly that the construction of the railway is a major national event, and it is impossible not to repair it for the livelihood of these people.

At that time, Zhao Wanli was very disdainful of the railway, he thought that a big teapot with fire running on the railway was a very unreliable thing, and the businessmen would naturally choose their horse-drawn carriage business to do business.

Now, after the train opened, Zhao Wanli never expected that those businessmen who had dealt with him for many years would actually throw themselves into the arms of the railway at the first time and ruthlessly abandon him, the old man.

After Zhao Wanli, who was not convinced, took a train in person, he saw the locomotive humming and dragging millions of catties of goods on the railway at the speed of a fast horse, and he felt that the general trend had gone.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the carriage company has no chance of winning after getting on the train.

He suddenly remembered that Lantian County Zun had told him about the change of career in the carriage shop, and it was too late to regret it at this time.

Zhao Wanli has experienced troubled times, even in troubled times, the name of Wanli carriage shop is also well-known, except for being robbed a few times in Shaohua Mountain, the goods they are responsible for have never been lost.

When he Zhao Wanli was in his heyday, even Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and other giants had to give him some face.

It's not that he didn't think about whether his business would be in danger, and when the Lantian Yun clan came to power, he didn't start with his Wanli Carriage Company, on the contrary, because of the prosperity of commerce in Guanzhong, the Wanli Carriage Company has achieved unprecedented expansion.

He also knew that it was actually the old thieves of the Yun clan who robbed his goods.

After learning this secret, Zhao Wanli hid this secret in his heart, didn't say anything to anyone, and admitted these losses.

He considered all the enemies, and thought that the carriage was as stable as Mount Tai, and this business could be done for a long time, but he never thought that it was the train that defeated him.

The train has been running for more than a month, and in the area of Chang'an, Lantian, Yushan, and Phoenix Mountain, the carriage shop has not received a decent big business except for a few pitiful small orders.

What Zhao Wanli can't tolerate the most is that the most lucrative passenger business has completely fallen to the bottom.

Looking at the dart masters sitting under the eaves and looking at him, Zhao Wanli sighed - the train does not need a dart master......

"There's no way to live."

After Zhao Wanli confirmed this reality, he gave an order to the bookkeeper in the car dealership to pay the guys and dismiss them!

This money was taken out by him after he emptied his family funds, and he Zhao Wanli has been bold all his life, and he doesn't want to be poked in the back when he is frustrated.

In any case, it is necessary to leave a chance for children and grandchildren to make a comeback.

In Guanzhong, the reputation stinks, and there is really nothing left.

After the coachmen got the wages from the account office very quietly, they left quickly, and they could no longer be the whips of the carriage for thousands of miles, they could also find jobs in Xi'an, Lantian, Yushan, and Phoenix Mountain City to drive the carriage for others.

After all, there are many people on the train, and the relatives of some large families are not willing to show their heads.

Eventually, they will find a way to earn a living.

The guys are gone, the coachmen are gone, even the dart master is gone.

Zhao Wanli expected that some people would stay, and when the bookkeeper handed over the empty key to the cash cabinet, Zhao Wanli realized that none of the brothers who were kind-hearted at the beginning were willing to stay.

All that was left of the carriage was the dense carriage and the large cattle in the stable.

Soon, these things will not belong to him Zhao Wanli, because, when he was expanding the carriage shop, he borrowed money and the interest was very high......

Sitting alone on the threshold, Zhao Wanli trembled his hands, lit a cigarette, and desperately waited for the arrival of the creditor.

Zhao Wanli is a man, he didn't run away with the little money left in the car dealership.

Instead, he was ready to pay off all his debts and then take his family back to the countryside, at least, and at least some food ration fields that no one could take away.

The creditors came at the appointed time, and Zhao Wanli was not in the mood to say a word, just politely invited people in, and then ...... There's nothing to do with him.

The carts here and the animals here are all agreed upon to pay off debts, and he can't stop them if they should be taken away.

He thought he could face defeat calmly.

However, when those people took away his carriage and took away his big livestock, Zhao Wanli's heart was like a knife.

When a fat guy took away his weapon rack with someone, Zhao Wanli closed his eyes in pain.

It may be that this guy thinks Zhao Wanli is very pitiful, so he took a golden horse chopping knife from his shoulder and put it beside Zhao Wanli, sighed, and left from his side.

Zhao Wanli stroked the golden knife, and couldn't help but remember that when he sealed the knife and retired to the rivers and lakes, the heroes in Guanzhong jointly funded and gilded his horse chopping knife, which had accompanied him for most of his life.

What a glory it was...... It seems like yesterday.

A person who looked like a bookkeeper politely asked Zhao Wanli to rest on the threshold of another place, and he was going to lock the door here.

When Zhao Wanli looked up, he found that the plaque of his carriage shop had been unloaded and placed beside him.

The title deed has been mortgaged to someone else, and now the money is not paid, and this place already belongs to someone else.

Zhao Wanli took off his belt, put the plaque of the carriage shop behind him, carried his golden knife, left the former carriage shop, and walked out of Chang'an step by step.

When leaving Chang'an, Zhao Wanli couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and Zhao Wanli, the golden knife who had not shed tears for a long, long time, burst out of his eyes.

He really couldn't figure out how he could leave this familiar city in such an embarrassed manner.

"Woo woo"

A train whistle woke Zhao Wanli, and following the reputation, he saw countless people rushing towards the luxurious railway station, they seemed to be very excited, those people were very similar to the appearance of the long-distance carriage when he had just opened the passenger carriage.

"Lao Tzu doesn't accept you!"

A wave of anger rose from his heart, and when Zhao Wanli walked quickly to the train station and wanted to enter, he found that he was penniless.

Under the surveillance of the officials in charge of guarding the station, Zhao Wanli fled the train station in embarrassment with the golden knife, and walked step by step along the train track in the direction of his hometown.

I don't know how long he walked, but he suddenly stopped.

A train clattered, dragging a puff of white smoke from afar.

Zhao Wanli stabbed his knife in front of his chest, looked at the speeding train and roared: "Come on, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you!" ”

After saying that, he rushed towards the train head-on with a golden horse chopping knife......

"It was Zhao Wanli who rushed towards the locomotive with a knife, and it seemed that he wanted to cut the train with a chopping knife."

A servant gloated and shook the short stick in his hand and explained to Xia Wanchun, who was dressed in a green shirt.

Xia Wanchun said: "Did he win?" ”

The official smiled at the young man, who seemed to be a student of Yushan Academy, and said, "Victory, the golden knife was broken into two sections, and his body became a pile of flesh and blood.

If it weren't for the broken knife next to him with his name on it, he wouldn't know that it was Zhao Wanli's unlucky ghost who competed with the train. ”

"Did anyone see the scene?"

The official shook the short stick in his hand into a flower, and said to Xia Wanchun: "Okay, my little minister, there are at least three witnesses who saw him rushing towards the train, a farmer working in the fields, a cowherd baby, and a master who drove the train.

The first two said that they heard the train horn to signal him to leave, but as if he hadn't heard, he rushed towards the train with a knife and a plaque on his back.

Xiao Xianggong, there are thousands of people pulling behind the train, and there are millions of pounds of goods hanging, where it is said to stop.

The master who drove the train said that although he saw it, there was no way, Zhao Wanli didn't dodge, and the car he drove was on the tracks, and he couldn't dodge it, so he hit it straight and straight...... That's it, bad! ”
