Relaxed whole body!
He was the one who laid the first shovel of the railway, and he has always been ashamed of this.
Today has suddenly become a happy event!
Emperor Jing suppressed his inner joy and waved his hand, saying, "Fang Qing, there is no need to be modest. This is all your credit. But is this also the credit of science?"
"Of course, this is science!" Fang Zheng said with all his might, "Your Majesty, please experience it first. When we arrive in Taoyuan County, I will prepare a banquet and explain it to everyone slowly."
Emperor Jing nodded slightly and looked out the window with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
At this moment, the officials in the hard seat carriage had passed the excitement.
From the initial window prying, it turned into an interesting guess about the principles of the train.
At this moment, the crew member who had previously announced the train's departure appeared again.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.
It was the same flight attendant as before, but this time he was pushing a cart and walking through the narrow aisle.
There are all kinds of things on this cart.
At first glance, there are things like mung bean cakes, candied fruits, and bamboo tubes.
Everyone was puzzled and looked at her curiously.
I just heard the attendant push the cart forward and say, "Peanuts, melon seeds, drinks. Do you need anything? Please put your legs down."
As everyone made way, they suddenly understood.
Wow, this train is really thoughtful, with food and drinks provided.
"Is that bamboo tube filled with water? Give me one portion and one portion of candied fruit."
The attendant smiled and explained, "It's two silver coins in total. Do you want to pay in cash or put it on record?"
There was a sudden silence in the carriage.
It's not free, it costs money after working for a long time...
"What kind of candied fruit costs two cents?!" someone shouted indignantly.
"One penny for the candied fruit and one penny for water. The water is not ordinary water, it is the natural spring water from Taoyuan County with a sweet taste. You can try it." The flight attendant maintained a professional smile.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. The water in Taoyuan County was actually worth one penny of silver. It was really outrageous!
"Please get me a bottle of water." Finally, someone couldn't help it. He was really thirsty as he hadn't had a sip of water since morning.
The flight attendant took the silver and handed over a bamboo tube of water.
The man took a sip and his eyes lit up immediately. He picked up the bamboo tube and said in surprise, "Sweet! I have never tasted water so sweet. This Taoyuan Spring water is really magical. It's like it has sugar in it!"
"Give me a bamboo tube too!"
......
Inside the business car.
Li Yansong frowned as he looked at the merchandise the flight attendant was showing him.
With a bit of anger on his face, he said, "Why would you dare to sell this thing for ten taels of silver per small bag? Is Fang Zheng crazy about making money?"
The attendant was not in a hurry and said softly, "Sir, this milk slice is complicated and expensive to make. It is only available in this carriage and is not available outside. If you think it is expensive, you can choose a boxed lunch. There are braised pork and chicken rice."
"Look at your rice. There are only two or three pieces of meat and a few boiled vegetable leaves. It's still cold. How dare you ask for five cents of silver? Take it away. We don't want it."
Zhang Dongxiang said, "Mr. Li, why don't you want it?"
Then he said to the attendant, "Put everything in the cart here. I'll take care of it all."
The flight attendant handed over a small booklet and said, "Sign here and I'll leave everything to you."
Zheng Qiao was surprised and said, "It's obvious that they are ripping people off. Why are you giving money to Fang Zhengyi?"
"Oh, just eat some of his food. What if Fang Zhengyi comes to our house to collect the debt?" Zhang Dongxiang sneered and signed on the notebook. "Count it as my treat. Try this milk slice and see what it tastes like."
Seeing that the signature was completed, the attendant bowed and said calmly: "The sold goods are not refundable or exchangeable. Lord Fang has instructed that all the consumption in this carriage will be deducted from the tuition of Yucai Primary School and will be paid in the next semester. Please enjoy your time."
After saying that, he quickly turned and left.
Zhang Dongxiang: “…”
......
The view outside the window passed by several factories.
A series of strange and neatly arranged buildings began to appear before his eyes. Emperor Jing looked around and asked, "What are those houses...?"
Fang Zhengyi explained: "Your Majesty, we are about to enter Taoyuan County."
"What? Have we arrived at Taoyuan County?" Emperor Jing took a breath of cold air, "How long have I been sitting here?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "It takes less than an hour to get from Dongjiao University to Taoyuan County by train."
"Is that so..." Emperor Jing swallowed his saliva, "You must explain everything to me in a moment."
Terrible...Trains are really terrible.
It seems that as long as the railway is long enough, this thing can travel thousands of miles a day without any problem!
Moreover, the comfort in the carriage is incomparable, which is many times better than riding a horse.
However, the mystery behind this still needs Fang Zheng to explain it in detail again and again.
Not long after, the train slowly pulled into the station, and people who had been prepared outside the train opened the outer lock.
After the flight attendant reminded them to take their personal belongings with them, the officials were already waiting at the door of the vehicle.
As soon as the door opened, officials who had already changed into casual clothes and held their official uniforms got off the train one by one.
"We're here? How can it be so fast?"
"Yeah, it feels like nothing has happened yet we've already arrived in Taoyuan County."
Looking at the bustling scene around them, the officials actually felt as if they were in another world!
The station in Taoyuan County is different from that of Dongjiao University. It is an open-air station with a square in front.
At this moment, countless people gathered in the square, looking forward to it, and dozens of police officers were standing by.
When the train arrived, there was a deafening shout.
