Chapter 58 Entering Beijing to report on work
The morning sun poured into Junju, waking up the people who were still asleep.
Zhang Wei was a little surprised, looked at Zhou Peiling in front of the door, and felt a little reluctant: "Are you leaving?"
"That's right. Zhou Peiling nodded and replied, "Chang'an just sent a letter to transfer me elsewhere, so I may not continue to stay here." ”
"Alas. I thought I could stay a little longer, but it seems that it won't work. Zhang Wei shook his head helplessly.
Zhou Peiling smiled: "No way. The third phase of the railway project has not yet been completed, and there are still many places that need me. ”
"That's just as well. It's just that you need to be so early? If you delay it a little, I can also organize a banquet for you, and say goodbye to you!"
Zhang Wei asked.
Zhou Peiling shook his head and refused: "No, although the train has been opened, it still takes more than half a day to travel from here to Chang'an, so in order not to miss the hour, forget it." ”
"Alas. It's a pity, too. But you're going to have to be safe all the way, you know?" Zhang Wei said.
He knew that Zhou Peiling had lofty ambitions, and his personality was also vigorous and resolute, and he would never have any procrastination, although he didn't know why he was shepherding sheep like this, but after getting along these days, he also knew what Zhou Peiling's temperament was.
And the reason why Zhou Peiling ran to Junzhou and helped him build the Danjiangkou Bridge was also because he had the intention of climbing up.
Everyone knows that the lord has always been known for his good talents, and he has always been concerned about the construction of the railway, and even more so in the world, if he made this feat in the local area, it would be a bright business card, enough for the local bureaucrats to catch the through train and rise directly to the top level.
The Danjiangkou Bridge is a key bridge connecting Junzhou to Chang'an, and if it can be built, Zhou Peiling's future career will naturally be very smooth.
"Huh. I don't mean to say goodbye seriously, and with your current performance, I guess it is just around the corner to go to Beijing to report on my work. When the time comes, in Chang'an, there will be a time for gatherings. Zhou Peiling comforted.
Zhang Wei thought about it and felt so: "This is also true." But when the time comes, you'll have to have a treat, okay?"
"Of course, my door in Chang'an will definitely be opened for you. ”
Zhou Peiling responded, and seeing that it was a little early, he waved his hand: "Since that's the case, then I'll go?"
Zhang Wei glanced at the rising sun, the sun was shining, and he was a little dazzling, just like the person in front of him, which made him feel so sharp, and said with a smile: "That's good." It's just that after you arrive in Chang'an, you have to pay attention to the people around you, don't provoke them, understand?"
If there is anything wrong with Zhou Peiling, it is that his personality is too stubborn, and if he is invested in one thing, he will concentrate on it, even if others ask, he will ignore it.
"It's nature!"
Zhou Peiling responded to the Tao and did not take it to heart.
Carrying his own salute, he left the palace and came to the Junzhou Railway Station.
Because this railway has just opened, there are not many people in this Junzhou railway station, all of them are tourists who are curious about the beautiful scenery of Junzhou, and only one train can take them away.
Therefore, there will only be one train to Chang'an at Junzhou Railway Station in the morning, but in the foreseeable future, especially when Junzhou becomes an important city for business with the Song Dynasty, it will become a different scene.
Hand the train ticket to the ticket inspector, the train ticket is still too expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
But with Zhou Peiling's income, it was still supported, and after sitting down under the arrangement of the flight attendant, he turned his head sideways and looked at the scenery outside the window.
This scene Zhou Peiling didn't know how many times he saw it when he was building the Danjiangkou Bridge and the railway, and even how many times he went there in a year, when he went, and what he did, he also remembered it clearly.
"Whew-"
The high-pitched whistle sounded, accompanied by the vibration of the car body, and the scenery outside the window began to move, at first quite slowly, and then faster and faster, so that the scenery was fleeting, and the whistling sound began to sweep outside the window, and it also blew Zhou Peiling's hair away.
After straightening his hair, Zhou Peiling showed a satisfied smile: "Even if you can't take revenge, as long as you can repair this thing to all parts of China, it will be a great cause." ”
The hatred in his heart has not been forgotten, and he has thought a lot and understood a lot of truths over the years.
Back then, if he hadn't been stopped by Zhang Jiushao and really went to revenge, he might have succeeded, but he still couldn't change all this, in that heavily guarded and orderly manor, what happened to his father would continue to repeat itself, and there was no end.
Only by relying on the railroad and using this steel-like beast can the heavy gate be smashed open and the people in it can be given a way to live.
This is everything Zhou Peiling is thinking about at the moment.
A round of scorching sun rose into the sky, releasing its infinite power, shining on the entire foundation, and the rumble of the train continued, taking the group on the car through the mountains and mountains, across the distance that took nearly half a month to cross the previous day, and when the sun was about to set, Zhou Peiling finally arrived in Chang'an.
Walking down from the train, Zhou Peiling's eyebrows were slightly condensed, just because there were too many people gathered around, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"This is a lot of people. ”
The perennial trek through mountains and rivers has made Zhou Peiling accustomed to being alone, if he sees so many people, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, and he is not alone on this trip, and he also carries many important measuring instruments.
Those instruments were developed by the students of the Truth Academy, and some of them were only experimental in nature, and there were no more in the outside world, and they were brought to them in order to build the Danjiangkou Bridge.
In order to protect these instruments, Zhou Peiling also specially customized several pear wood boxes to prevent damage, and more than a dozen instruments were all placed at his feet, although they rented people from the outside world, but they also made them unable to move.
"Senior Zhou, where should we go next?"
The colleague behind him pushed his back, also with a bit of cowardice.
They are Zhou Peiling's classmates at the Truth College, and they are also assistants in the construction of the Danjiangkou Bridge, and one person's energy is limited after all, and only through the joint efforts of many people can this almost miraculous undertaking be accomplished.
Zhou Peiling pursed his lips and complained: "Let's go to the Ministry of Industry to report first, after all, official business is important." As he spoke, he picked up an instrument at his feet and said to the crowd in front of him, "I'm sorry, can you let me pass?"
Although they have been told repeatedly, but those people have no space, how can they make room for them?
Trapped here, Zhou Peiling felt anxious: "If you can't arrive at the Ministry of Industry within the specified time, what can you do?" Although it doesn't matter if it's late, Zhou Peiling has always been strict with himself, where can he allow himself to make such a mistake?
His classmates were also a little nervous, and they were really not good at how to deal with so many people.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and the crowd dispersed, revealing a path that could accommodate one or two people.
Zhou Peiling was suddenly overjoyed and shouted, "Don't delay, let's take advantage of this time to get out of here." ”
As soon as he picked up the instrument, he saw a familiar figure appear in front of him, and hurriedly put down his salute in a panic, and raised his hand to salute: "Hello Minister Yang." It's just Minister Yang, why are you here?"
"Huh. For you, of course. ”
Yang Chenglong swept over the students in front of him with a smile: "With the situation here, if I don't come, I'm afraid you will be trapped until midnight." It would be terrible if the disciple I was most proud of was captured by that female ghost. ”
"Minister Yang, where did you get some female ghost?"
Zhou Peiling pouted, this habit of joking is also Yang Chenglong's characteristic.
Yang Chenglong pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile: "You haven't encountered it? That's really a pity." His eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw that more than a dozen people in front of him were all men, and none of them were with their families, he felt a little lost: "Alas. If it's like you, why don't you want me to introduce you to one or two?"
"It's-"
Zhou Peiling's cheeks were red, and he replied embarrassedly: "Minister Yang said that he laughed, I have always had the heart to fall in love with the world, where do I get the heart to fall in love? If I marry someone else, I am afraid that it will only be like that Dayu girl." ”
"That's what your elm head is, but I don't think that's the case with your colleagues. Yang Chenglong pointed to the person behind Zhou Peiling and said jokingly.
Zhou Peiling turned his head, and really saw that there were so many young women who were bold enough to look at the young women who were passing by, and their straightforward and slightly clumsy behavior also caused those women to laugh for a while, and their graceful posture made these people even more obsessed.
In Chang'an City, because of the prosperity of women's rights, it is not as feudal as the Song Dynasty, especially under the drive of those weaver girls, there are also many women who can come out of their own homes and often play together on the streets, which is a beautiful scenery in Chang'an City.
"I mean, you, aren't you really so?" Zhou Peiling pretended to be angry.
"Confucius has said that my fair lady and gentleman are good. This is human nature, what is there to hide?" Wang Ruofeng replied boldly, his eyes still sweeping over those beautiful women, and he did not hide his desire.
"And don't you think that woman is pretty? It's a pity that her breasts are a little flat, and I like big breasts. ”
"Big breasts, you're superficial, aren't you? I think it's pretty good! This white skin and tender flesh must have come from a rich family. If I marry her, where will I run into the mountains and forests?"
"So what? big breasts have milk, and they feel pretty good to the touch. ”
“......”
As soon as he said a few words, he immediately aroused the ** of several people, and began to comment on the beauties on the street.
Zhou Peiling's face was flushed, feeling like an ant on a hot pot, and he was a little restless.
Yang Chenglong smiled: "Ha." No matter what you say, it won't help, if they don't recognize you, you'll still be wild after all. It's better to go back to report with me first, and when you finish your official duties, you will have time to talk. ”
"Absolutely. ”
Everyone responded together and followed Yang Chenglong towards the government affairs area.
