The outer city of the capital, under the You'an Gate on the left, is a mess.

You'anmen is on the left, Zuo'anmen is on the right, and in the middle is Yongding Gate, where the left and right are not on the map to see where the left is and where the right is fixed, but from the direction of the emperor in the Forbidden City, the left is the left, the right is the right.

Zhou Sijing, the director of the Steam Bureau, has dealt with similar things a lot, since Huo De Xingjun began to hit the road, their craftsmen drove the heavy and slow steam locomotive wherever it went, and where could the ordinary dirt road withstand such a big thing, and it would sink as he walked; Sometimes, the crops were crushed in the fields, and the farmers would be beaten with pickaxes.

As for crushing bridges and planting ditches, there are too many to count.

It stands to reason that he has seen wind and rain, but the current situation really makes Zhou Sijing feel tricky.

On the way, he always felt that Huo De Xingjun knocked down the city wall, how could the steam car collapse the city wall? But now at least this is really the case, the front of the car is not rooted in the city wall, not even a hole is exposed, but a gap is indeed exposed in the city wall, revealing the rammed earth structure inside.

The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the people who watched the excitement were on the periphery of You'anmen, three layers inside and three layers outside, Zhou Sijing saw that his little brother was admitting his mistake to the soldiers at this time, and he rummaged through his body and found less than one or two pieces of silver in his hands, and he was about to be scared silly.

They are also the Ministry of Works, and the head of the branch can see the problem at a glance...... The city wall was repaired in the year of Jiajing, and it has not been repaired for 30 years, not to mention that the normal city wall was struck by a steam car, even if General Zhenshuo was taken to bombard, it could not be blasted inside, at most, the blue bricks outside were smashed, and the inner earth was rammed.

Most of the reasons for such a situation are that the adhesive materials are not good, and Xu Guangqi cannot be blamed for it.

But who asked him to ride his bike to the south of Beijing? If you go to Yangou City in Liangxiang County, even if you crash the city wall, you will be fine. hit the city of Beijing, can only bear all the responsibility, can you still bite the Ministry of Industry?

Zhou Sijing pushed aside the crowd and walked in, he knew the family situation of this eighteen-year-old Xiucai who was recruited into the Steam Bureau last year, and he was frightened.

Generations of Suzhou people, ancestors made a fortune in trading, to his father when the family fell into the middle, re-farming, since childhood in Longhua Temple study, last year was admitted to Jinshanwei's Xiucai, married a wife.

I wanted to teach in my hometown to make up for the need to continue my studies, but I caught up with the lack of such talents in the Steam Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Sijing recruited a few in a row, but it was unsatisfactory, and when Xu Guangqi came, he was tired and tired, so he simply used him.

This is not a person with any ambitions, it is said that he came to the Beijing Division Steam Bureau to recruit or his old man who had obtained fame but had never been a member of the ranks, and said that Songjiang Mansion used the steam machine made by the Steam Bureau to weave cloth, and there was no fly camp in the officialdom in this place, and it could also make some real contributions to the world - mainly with subsidies, like the study of Beiyang, although there was no real award, but he enjoyed the seven-grade official body, and the Wanli Emperor allocated a tael of moon and silver, and there were rewards for making improvements.

In Xu Guangqi's words, coming to the Steam Bureau is more expensive than farming and teaching in his hometown.

In the future, I can save money to buy a boat, and I can go to the Great East Ocean to see the world.

In these years, if you don't have big ambitions, who will be an official! Make money, do business in the East and West, and change the family to be a big man.

This mentality is understandable, this is the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, the inherent morality and etiquette, the social environment has all changed, a large amount of silver inflow and ocean trade seems to have created countless huge riches overnight, and people's long-standing desire and envy for wealth have finally found a breakthrough.

Zhang Juzheng's reforms made the imperial court efficient but also made the people afraid of power struggles, the government-run military, imperial examination academies and private craftsman schools injected new vitality into the society, and the development of the four seas also greatly increased the experience of people of insight in the government and the opposition.

Zhou Sijing stepped forward and didn't speak, and the old servant next to him naturally stepped forward to salute the Military Academy of the Terracotta Division, telling the ins and outs of the matter, and indicating that the Steam Bureau of the Ministry of Industry would have full authority to repair the damaged city wall, they had dealt with too many similar things, and the head of the Steam Bureau only needed to bow his hand from afar.

On the Steam Bureau's ledgers, this expenditure is called an experimental accident.

But this accident really happened.

The chubby official of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division stepped forward and saluted again, and then handed the official document to Zhou Sijing's old servant, and arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, Master Zhou, people can't go, and the city is downwind." ”

The official document is a telegram, as the so-called upward and downward effect, the great tomorrow is about the mother's womb with the anthropomorphic preference of utensils, people only black and thick things are called cannons, but they are called 'bit' and 'so-and-so general'; people also know that the steam engine is saved up from a pile of mechanical parts, but it is still called Huo De Xingjun; the same is true of the telegram, the people can see the telephone poles all day long, but people just want to call it Shunfeng Ear.

It is necessary to embody a feeling of 'others worship the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and the people of my people are the gods and Buddhas of the heavens'.

And just thinking of this feeling, the people can make up the stupid appearance of the stupid child who said to the world during the Chinese New Year, 'Change this me to me', hehehe, and added with a smile: 'The people haven't used it yet, I will try it for you first'.

The telegram was not signed, and the content was just one sentence: Zhun Huo De Xingjun went to the royal road of Tianjie, led to the noon gate, and pulled the goods.

Just when Zhou Sijing read the official document and asked Xu Guangqi if he could still ride the car, and fifty percent of the soldiers and horses were helping Xu Guangqi operate and drag the machine, there was already the sound of drums in You'anmen, and the middle officials sang the sound of horse hooves to avoid and advance together.

Behind the two military eunuchs who played suona and beat the waist drum, the four horizontal and four vertical scattered horses walked out of the city gate in neat steps.

The drumming stopped, and the people stopped talking.

Sixteen horsemen in brocade clothes guarded by green and blue unicorn suits with steel arm bindings and gold lacquer cuirass, straddling the tall mixed gray spotted Xiyi horse, dragging the reins in one hand and holding the thorn in the other hand The riding world Taiping Gong was on the shoulder, and the chin was slightly raised and swept over the soldiers and people gathered under the You'an Gate with a state of contemplation.

In the end, their eyes were fixed on the Great Fire De Xingjun, who was dragged crookedly into the cart in the middle of the road, and the first to ride out the Beizhen Fusi Qianhu Tooth Plate.

Zhou Sijing looked at the tooth card, pursed his lips with his tongue uneasily, glanced back at the B-type Huode Xingjun who was getting hotter, and then slashed at Xu Guangqi, who was controlling behind him, with his eyes, and cautiously reprimanded: "The court has an order, take it to the noon gate, take it, and you can't come down yet!" ”

After that, he was more cautious and bowed his hand to the Jinyi Qianhu who was sitting on the horse, swallowed his saliva slowly, and said: "Qianhu is above, Zhou of the Steam Bureau is polite...... Xu Suozheng and this Type B Fire De Xingjun are still young, no, no, no, they will be sent to prison, right? ”

Wang Tianrui, a thousand households who carried the emperor all the way to practice brocade clothes racks, broke his success because of Zhou Sijing's words.

While the smile was still under control, he coughed lightly, and the lieutenant in front of him deliberately blew the suona to change the tone, and the drums also beat twice, and the sixteen horsemen all turned around and headed towards the Forbidden City.
