The impression of Shanghai on immigrants is very different from that along the canal, just the wharf is much wider than the wharf along the canal, and the road under their feet, black and flat, sparkles under the reflection of the sun, everyone dares to swear, let alone see, even if they never thought that there would be such a straight road under the sky.

Along the riverbank, there are dozens of harbor-shaped wharves, one boat goes, and another one is squeezed over, which seems to be endless, and the docked ships are also larger and more magnificent.

People's clothing is obviously different from that along the canal, clothes and pants are distinct, they seem to be in good spirits, and you can see many foreigners who only exist in legends, these foreigners are the same as the Chinese, moving goods, doing work, nothing special.

"This is Jiangnan, I can't imagine that my second pillar is really here!" Today's two pillars, the black is still the same black, but the body is stronger, at this time he was looking around curiously, and it took a long time to hold back a sigh.

"Hey, what's that way?" Zhao Xiucai suddenly found that at the end of the wharf, there was a road that seemed to be paved with iron bars, several columns side by side, each of which was separated by a crossing, paved on a long hill made of gravel, and one of them was parked with a black, round car, with huge wheels as high as a person's chest, and a length of more than two zhang!

Everyone looked at it, and no one knew what it was.

A soldier in charge of maintaining order looked over there and said, "That's the railway, all of them are paved with steel rails, and the section from Shanghai to Changzhou has been paved, and when it opens next year, it will only take five hours to travel from Shanghai to Changzhou for 350 miles."

And now Changzhou to Nanjing, Nanjing to Dangtu. When the three sections of Tu to Wuhu start at the same time, up to three years. It can be opened to traffic on the whole line.

As for the black guy above, it's the locomotive. Connecting to the carriage can tow thousands of tons of goods, about millions of catties, so it must be erected on steel rails, because the general road surface cannot bear such a large weight. ”

The immigrants were all stunned, one guy can transport millions of catties, it's incredible, they all pointed to the locomotive and discussed, but what Zhao Xiucai thought of was that it would take five hours to take the train for three hundred and fifty miles. Then they walked two thousand miles from Linjin to Shou County, if there was a train, wouldn't it only take a little more than a day? You know, it took them twenty days!

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!" At this time, a port worker in a navy blue uniform ran over quickly, waved his hand, and said: "Our Commander-in-Chief Wang just came from Xiangshan, he wants to go ashore to see everyone, don't panic, just feel free." Commander-in-Chief Wang was very kind. ”

"What?" This was already more than stunned, but petrified on the spot, and the name of Commander-in-Chief Wang was mentioned many times by the fighters on the ship, and they knew it. This is the big boss of the Democratic Alliance Army, the chief scoop, or in the words of the official crepe. He is the emperor of half of the south of the Yangtze River!

And who are they? They were the most ordinary peasants, and the vast majority of them were tenant farmers. There is no way to live in the north, and I only go to beg for a life with the mentality of giving it a try. But he was about to be received by the emperor, which he never dreamed of.

"The ship is coming up, and Commander-in-Chief Wang will come over immediately!" The port attendant looked at the river bank and said, "Commander-in-Chief Wang will shake hands with you, and may ask some things, don't be nervous, ask what to answer, come, look at it now, what is a handshake, and then you should seize the time to practice." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the warrior.

Although the official staff repeatedly reminded not to panic, but can you not panic, the refugees faced each other, shaking hands vigorously over and over again, but how to shake how awkward, in contrast, it is more natural to kowtow, at the same time, there are many people with the corner of their eyes to sneak a glimpse of the fleet that is approaching the dock.

The three leading ships, majestic and majestic, the huge hull sparkling in the sun, the slender guns on the deck are daunting, what they saw and heard at the dock today subverted their cognition, and they realized that the outside world is so strange and so wonderful.

It didn't take long for a soldier to shout: "Commander-in-Chief Wang is here, everyone stop." ”

Dozens of people got down from the boat, but to the surprise of the immigrants, that is, there was no car to greet them, and there was no yellow umbrella to shade the sun, so they walked over, and the soldiers also seemed to be strange, and they were busy, and there was no scene where they appeared in the impression of the emperor patrolling, the officials and sergeants greeted each other solemnly, and the people needed to kneel to receive them.

Everyone's legs and feet were a little weak, but the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army did not prompt them to kneel, and they did not dare to kneel, they were all guessing who was Commander-in-Chief Wang, because the clothes of the people who came were almost the same, except for the difference in color, some wore black clothes, some wore green clothes, and some people's clothes were sky blue, and no one wore dragon robes!

Soon, a young man came out of the crowd, stretched out his right hand, and walked over and said: "I am Wang Feng, commander-in-chief of the China Democratic Alliance Army, I am glad that you have responded to our call to go to Jiaozhi to start a new life, and I thank you on behalf of the Democratic Alliance Command, the Chinese Government Council and the Jiaozhi Provincial Government."

Thank? The immigrants' minds were blank, and in their understanding, it was Wang Feng who gave him a new life, and he should be grateful!

The strong incomprehension made them stand in a daze, but Zhao Xiucai trembled all over his body for a moment, he saw Wang Feng walking towards him, and his body trembled not excited, but nervous and scared!

The emperor walked towards an ordinary person, and the first reaction of a normal person was nervousness and fear!

When Zhao Xiucai didn't know what to do, Wang Feng's right hand had already held his right hand strongly.

"Plop!" With a sound, the previous advice was all forgotten at this moment, Zhao Xiucai knelt down out of instinct, and stammered: "Little people knock to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Zhao Xiucai raised his head, hula, Wang Feng quickly knelt in front of him, and shouted unevenly: "The grass people ask the emperor for peace, long live the emperor, long live long live!" "There are also a lot of people who keep kowtowing.

There was silence all around, and everyone looked at Wang Feng with strange faces, even Wang Feng himself was a little stunned, what does it feel like to be called long live by others? Although Xianfeng, who is also the supreme ruler of China, is calm, Wang Feng comes from modern times, and the concept of equality and freedom has been deeply rooted in his bones, he feels very uncomfortable, and he is still a little sad in his heart.

What's more, under the general trend of democracy and freedom, being called long live when you are alive will be retribution after death, and you are likely to be scolded and broken your backbone!

"Get up, all of you, who made you kneel?" Wang Feng's face sank, and he lifted Zhao Xiucai up.

Zhao Xiucai's face turned green with fright, and although the others didn't kowtow, they still knelt still.

"Hey~~" Wang Feng sighed and said helplessly: "It's me who spoke too much, I apologize to you, in fact, I can understand you, China's thousands of years of feudal society, the supremacy of imperial power, the emperor's words decide life and death, plus the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is not to blame."

However, I must make it clear that our Chinese Democratic Alliance Army advocates democracy, equality and freedom, and between people, no matter what profession you are engaged in, your status may be different, but you are equal in personality, except for your parents and teachers, no one is qualified to accept the kneeling of others!

Look at them again, who knelt down before me when I came? Get up, what's your name, don't be nervous, I won't eat you, just come and see how you're doing, find out what work we still can't do, if you don't welcome me, I'll leave immediately. ”

Wang Feng said it to this point, and the immigrants stood up one after another, but their eyes were still dodgy, and they didn't dare to look at Wang Feng, Zhao Xiucai also said cautiously: "Xiaomin's surname is Zhao, the double character is Shangyi, the commander-in-chief of the emperor, you have arranged a good place for us, it is too late for us to thank us, how dare you be dissatisfied, you are serious." ”

Wang Feng shook his head and said, "I should thank you because you trust me, otherwise why would you come to Shanghai thousands of miles away?" And I'll tell you the truth, although the land is fertile, and the government has given the greatest support in terms of policies and resettlement, everything has to start from scratch, and the dampness and heat in that place are unbearable, and the epidemic miasma is frequent, and it is difficult for the northerners to adapt to it all at once in the past, and if they don't do it, they will die, but you still respond to our call, come without hesitation, and participate in the construction of Jiaozhi, you are the builders and founders of Jiaozhi, you yourself said, should I thank you? ”

"This" Zhao Xiucai was dumbfounded, is he so great? He couldn't understand it, and always thought that Wang Feng had rewarded him with food.

Wang Feng said again: "Our government is for the people, not above the people or oppressing the people, you don't understand now, it doesn't matter, you will understand in the future, however, I make a request to you, in the future, you will call yourself me, no longer call yourself a small people or grass people, you know?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Xiucai nodded again and again.

Jiangnan is the base of the Democratic League, and the people here were the first to come into contact with the Democratic Alliance, watching the growth of the Democratic Alliance, and experiencing the successive release of a series of policies.

And these peasants from the north are different, they have been oppressed and enslaved all their lives, and the concept of hierarchy has long been deeply rooted, and it is impossible for them to have a normal heart at first sight when they see themselves, the supreme leader of the Democratic Alliance Army, in a short period of time.

Wang Feng smiled again and asked, "Where are you from?" How is hometown? If you are not satisfied with this way, please mention it to me directly, and we will try to improve, come, start with you. ”

Wang Feng pointed casually at Cao Mazi, and Fu Shanxiang, out of professional habits, took out a notebook and a pen to prepare for the record.

"Is it me?" Cao Mazi was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Commander-in-Chief Huiwang, my name is Cao Mazi, and I have no father and no mother, because I had measles when I was a child, and my face was uneven, so others call me Cao Mazi" (to be continued......)
