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

Xia Yuanji had no choice but to cry and laugh: "Lord Hao is very polite. ”

In just a few words, after all, there are more friendly ingredients, Hao Fenglou is not humble, a guard moved a wooden stool, he sat down unceremoniously, Yang Jing next to him did not dare to make a sound, but he hurriedly took a wine cup and added rice wine, most of the others are also Ye Gong Haolong, usually Lord Hao Haifang is so affectionately called, but now he is dumb, and he is silent one by one.

Hao Fenglou didn't think that the wine cup was greasy, he picked it up directly, a glass of rice wine went down, his eyes never left Xia Yuanji, and said with a smile: "Xia Butang ......"

Xia Yuanji hurriedly waved his hand: "The old man is already an idle cloud and a wild crane, and he really doesn't dare to be a minister." ”

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "Then how about calling Xia Gong." ”

Xia Yuanji shook his head again: "Everyone here is called Mr. Xia, the old man." ”

Hao Fenglou pursed his lips and smiled: "Is Mr. Xia doing well here?" Since Mr. Xia arrived here, the Hao family didn't deliberately ignore it, but just ......"

Xia Yuanji smiled: "Ling Zun's intentions, but Xia knows it, and it is embarrassing to meet, so why do you have to meet, in fact, the old man came here, or thanks to the care of your father and son, the life is also free, I have met some new friends, and I have seen many new things." However, Hou Ye heard that he had made a new contribution, which was really gratifying, and he heard that His Majesty was urgently summoning Haiphong to enter Beijing, but he didn't know when Hou Ye planned to leave. ”

The conversation began, and it was again on this occasion full of market atmosphere. The two sides who spoke didn't feel abrupt, Hao Fenglou smiled. Said: "Leaving is to move, but it's a pity, but there is still a big thing, you have to do it to leave, it's really not to despise the emperor's order, but if things are not done properly, it is inevitable that you will not worry." ”

Xia Yuanji is a gentleman. Of course, he didn't ask about other people's major events, but just smiled: "The big thing in the mouth of the Hou Ye must be a big thing that has topped the sky." He unconsciously took the edamame from the plate. Peel it off and put it in your mouth.

This casual action is okay on such occasions. Edamame is eaten like this. But if it is seen by those people in Jinling, I am afraid that I will be dumbfounded.

Hao Fenglou took another sip of rice wine and said, "Mr. Xia is smiling and teaching people to be embarrassed, come, eat the bar first." ”

Hao Fenglou said, summoned a few guards to sit down together, and the guards looked solemn one by one. But Hao Fenglou called, but he was also free and easy. They moved stools one by one, took a square table, put them together, and everyone found their own wooden stools, and began to eat and drink by the stall under the lamplight.

Strange to say, sitting here together, there are businessmen, there are once famous ministries all over the world, there are famous horses and marquis of the Ming Dynasty, there are also ordinary teaching gentlemen, and there are powerful soldiers with strong strength.

After three rounds of drinking, even Yang Jing let go, he was curious, and couldn't help but say: "Hou Ye's alcohol is good, the student can't bear it, I can drink and talk with Hou Ye, I'm afraid that if I say it, no one will believe it, the student is really presumptuous, and I always want to can't help but ask, but I don't know what big thing Hou Ye has in Liangshan, it is ...... It's ......"

Hao Fenglou took over the conversation: "If this matter is successful, it will definitely change the pattern of Langshan, and even Cochin and Siam will have a new look." ”

Yang Jing only thought that Hao Fenglou didn't want to say it, so he said some empty words to prevaricate, but he didn't care, and laughed in his heart, he was indeed presumptuous, and some things were still inconvenient to ask.

Xia Yuanji's face was slightly red, but his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he seemed to be a little moved, in his opinion, Langshan was enough to be called a new look, this Langshan pattern, how much has not changed enough? What else is there that makes this Hao Fenglou so respected.

He drank the wine, but finally couldn't help it: "What the Hou Ye said, but I don't know what it is." ”

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

Hao Fenglou's question caught Xia Yuanji unexpectedly, he held the wine cup silently, and finally said: "I want to see a thing or two." ”

"Okay." Hao Fenglou smiled: "Okay, then tomorrow, someone Hao will give Mr. a leave of absence in Weizhong, Mr. Xia is afraid that he will have to go to bed early, and in the early morning, there will be few people waiting for Mr. Xia." ”

Xia Yuanji was a little stunned, and he didn't know what Hao Fenglou was selling.

I ate a few more pillars of incense, in fact, later, what everyone said, many people have forgotten, the words on the wine table, there is no need to remember, everyone left their seats, Hao Fenglou taught people to account, everyone dispersed without mentioning.

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

Early the next morning, Xia Yuanji got up, after washing, he was about to go to duty, but as soon as he got out of the house he rented, there was already a carriage waiting outside, Hao Fenglou rode a healthy horse and beckoned to him: "Mr. get on the car quickly, it's getting late." ”

Xia Yuanji remembered what happened last night, he thought it was just a polite remark, but it turned out to be true, he was a little sorry in his heart, this carriage was hanging with dewdrops, it can be seen that Hao Fenglou had already come, this early morning was humid, Hao Fenglou was afraid of disturbing his rest, so he waited here all night.

Xia Yuanji greeted him twice, but he was not polite and got into the carriage.

The carriage went straight to the south of the city.

It took more than an hour to leave the city, and farther away was where the workshops gathered, but the team did not stop, and continued to move forward, and it was another half an hour, some mines and the like, seventy-eight rounds, and the carriage finally stopped.

At this time, there was already a commotion outside, so I heard someone say: "The student has seen Hou Ye, Hou Ye quickly dismounted, everyone has been waiting for a long time, just wait for Hou Ye to proofread." ”

The voice of the person who spoke was very excited, and even his voice trembled a little,

When Xia Yuanji got out of the car, he saw that there were many people gathered here, the first one was a Confucian with a scruffy beard, and there were many rough men.

It's just that soon, Xia Yuanji was attracted by a novelty, right here, is a railroad track, this rail Xia Yuanji has seen some, in some mines, often lay some rails, and walk on some coal carriages, it is said that in this way, can save some manpower, the carriage walks on the rails, than on the flat ground, there are many more loads.

But the rails were obviously wider than those rails, and they were smoother, which was obviously very different, and there were sleepers and gravel in the middle, which had an indescribable taste.

On this railroad track, there was a behemoth, two people tall, all cast of fine iron, with wheels underneath, and the wheels fit together with the rails, and the wheels were connected by things together, but they did not know what they were doing.

"It looks like a car ......" Xia Yuanji muttered in his heart, because this thing was too large, which made Xia Yuanji begin to doubt his judgment, because this car is at least thousands of catties, who can push such a car?

There seem to be busy people inside and outside the 'iron car', some people are checking the wheels, some people are checking various parts inside, Hao Fenglou looked at the car with his hands, very satisfied, this thing has been somewhat similar to the steam train of 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, and other aspects of the technology need to be broken through, such as the smelting level of steel, the forging of complex construction, these things seem simple, but there is no breakthrough, but it is not successful.

Fortunately, after several years of leapfrog development, Liangshan has roughly met these conditions, and even if it is not met, there is an alternative plan. And Hao Fenglou's greatest contribution is that he pointed out a train of thought and direction for these smartest people, which made the emergence of the train, greatly shortened by ten or even twenty years, you must know that things are spiraling development, many times, the emergence of the so-called new things, I don't know how many detours, the development of technology is often an attempt again and again, the front hit a wall, after the head broke the bloodstream, I had to return to the original point, continue to take a new road, and so fail dozens of times, decades will pass, and wait until there is the right direction, And this direction can produce enough benefits, new things will appear, will be carried forward, and finally future generations can continue to innovate on this basis.

There are several carriages behind this locomotive, the carriages are full of goods, all of them are boulders, looking at tens of thousands of pounds, and there is a carriage that is different, there are fixed tables and chairs in it, and the bearded reader is busy saying: "Hou Ye, please Hou Ye, please get on the train." ”

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

If Xia Yuanji was in Jinling, when he saw this scene, he would have been frightened a long time ago, but when he arrived at Langshan, many things were not strange, so he also got in the car.

There are many seats in the car, and there is a horse lamp on the wall of the car, Xia Yuanji is not polite, and he found a vacant seat to sit down, and the bearded reader is still talking about introducing Hao Fenglou with relish, and said: "The car has produced two cars, and it has been tested dozens of times, and it can ensure safety, so I invited Hou Ye to come and see, Hou Ye, can you start?" ”
