Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 157
Boom boom boom boom boom!

Soon, Globetrotter [-] fired.

In the next moment, countless people on the deck could clearly see that the shell flew quickly across the sea, and then hit the trajectory of the land on the shore heavily.

The next moment, bursts of violent explosions came from the shore.

In front of everyone's eyes, as the shells exploded, bursts of smoke and dust rose from the shore soon.

At this time, the shore was filled with countless scarecrows and wooden boards. These scarecrows were placed very densely, looking like an army of ten thousand people.

Under the attack of the cannonballs, these scarecrows and wooden planks were blown up in the sky by the violently exploding cannonballs.

After the first round of shells, not long after, the second round of shelling began.

Then came the third round, the fourth round...

After more than half an hour, many people didn't know how many rounds they had shot.

Anyway, on the coast at this time, the scarecrow army formation has become horrible.

If these scarecrows were real people, I am afraid that the casualties would definitely not be small.

But if they were real people, they might all run away in the first round of shells, and no one would stand there stupidly and let the shells attack unscrupulously.

However, when some people saw the situation on the shore through the telescope, their expressions became very dignified.

Most of these people are generals leading troops, and they have been weighing in their hearts, if their own army is attacked by such weapons, can they withstand it?

The answer is obvious, absolutely irresistible.

On the contrary, when the young people saw the power of the shell attack, they all had happy smiles on their faces, because they knew that such a powerful weapon belonged to them.

And their enemies need to face such weapons.

Half an hour later, Globetrotter [-] slowly docked at the pier again.

When everyone got off the boat, their faces were all different, but the faces of Xiang Xun You, Jia Xu and others were very calm, and no one could tell what they were thinking.

However, no matter what they were thinking, after today's incident, Zhang Qingfeng believed that they would have to weigh it in their hearts when encountering matters related to the first department of Neo-Confucianism in Youzhou in the future.

The Department of Neo-Confucianism in Youzhou has developed into a towering tree without knowing it. If you want to provoke such a towering tree, the consequences will be very serious.

After this visit to Globetrotter [-], Zhang Qingfeng believes that his goal has been achieved.

At least for a short period of time, no one dared to underestimate the power of the Neo Confucianism department in Youzhou.

Next, Zhang Qingfeng and his party were arranged to rest in a large restaurant in Quanzhou City.

The next day, the train returned to Junping from Quanzhou, and Zhang Qingfeng and his party embarked on the journey home again.

"With the train, it will be convenient to travel to and from Quanzhou in the future."

On the train, many people expressed their heartfelt sighs.

In the past, it took at least six or seven days to travel from Quanzhou to Junping.

Now there is no need to take a train for six hours. No wonder they lament.

"It would be great if there were railways in every state and county, so that it would be convenient to go everywhere, without having to travel as hard as before."

"The cost of building the railway is very high. It is said that Mr. Ruixiang invested billions of dollars in the Luquan Railway, and the imperial court did not pay a cent." Someone said.

"Billions? Why is Mr. Ruixiang so rich?" Hearing this, some people were very surprised.

"Who is Mr. Ruixiang, a master of Neo-Confucianism, a contemporary sage, who knows astronomy first, geography second, and invented many things, such as glass, soap, cement, machines, etc., etc., these things are priceless. You can earn more than one billion a year, and building a railway is no small feat.”

After the train arrived in Yuyang, Zhang Qingfeng and his group got off the train.

Although the train has been successfully operated, there are still too few locomotives manufactured. Zhang Qingfeng still needs to improve some locomotive manufacturing processes to enrich the train transportation lines.

However, although there is only one locomotive, this locomotive has not been idle.

In the next time, during the day, the locomotive will be attached to the passenger car, and it will depart from Luping to Quanzhou on time.

People in Youzhou who want to take the train can buy tickets and enter the train platform to wait for the train.

The train goes to Quanzhou in the morning and returns in the afternoon.

At night, the wagons of the goods are hung up to transport some commodities and resources to the destination.

With the train, the coal in Youzhou can be easily transported to the steelworks by wagons, and the steel and other products of the steelworks can be easily transported out of Luping.

However, due to too few locomotives, the transportation volume is somewhat insufficient, and it still needs to rely on other means of transportation.

Perhaps only by waiting for more locomotives to be manufactured can the transportation capacity needs of Youzhou be met.

However, although the locomotive was equipped with passenger carriages during the day, the people of Youzhou turned the passenger carriages into freight carriages.

Basically, passengers who buy tickets will bring large and small bags of things. These things include personal items, but most of them are merchants' commodities.

Chen Erwa is an ordinary Youzhou farmer. A year ago, unwilling to farm for the rest of his life, he came to work in a workshop in Yuyang City alone, and entered a private workshop run by a small businessman.

Working in a workshop, the salary is only 800 yuan a month, which is very different from the salary in the factory of Lord Governor of Youzhou.

However, don’t be disgusted with this. Some people are willing to work. The salary of 800 yuan a month is much better than farming, and it is not as tiring as farming.

Chen Erwa, who worked in the factory for a year and saved a little money, suddenly wanted to experience the new train in Youzhou when the train opened.

Although he didn't get a ticket for the first train, he got a train ticket for the next day. The fare was very cheap, and he only needed 50 yuan to take one trip.

The next day, Chen Erwa set off from Yuyang by train and arrived in Quanzhou in less than five hours.

However, taking this train made Chen Erwa see a business opportunity.

The next day, he managed to buy a train ticket to Quanzhou again, and then found the boss of his workshop, offering to help him bring a package of goods to Quanzhou Port. Pay a deposit.

Next, Chen Erwa boarded the train with bags of goods, and successfully delivered the goods to Quanzhou, and got his first payment.

Later, Chen Erwa was not satisfied with earning such a little money every day, so he found a group of like-minded companions who wanted to make money, and then contacted more businessmen, expressing their willingness to help them bring goods at a low price.

They also temporarily develop passengers who have bought tickets, as long as the passengers are willing to help bring the goods, they will pay a certain amount of remuneration.

In this way, Chen Ergou's team grew stronger and stronger. Therefore, in addition to passengers, there are also countless large and small packages in the passenger train cars every day. These are commodities, all kinds of commodities.

Of course, this situation was also reflected in Zhang Qingfeng.

Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "How about this, set a standard for the weight and volume of each person's luggage, and if you exceed this standard, you will have to pay more."

Zhang Qingfeng's idea was quickly implemented, which hit Chen Erwa's team who brought the goods very hard.

However, although the goods that can be brought every day are much less, Chen Erwa can still make some money.

However, Chen Erwa, whose ambition has been aroused, is no longer satisfied with this situation. He now wants money, people, and contacts, so he is ready to make a big deal.

PS: Today is the second day after returning to my hometown. During the day, I used a bucket truck to push bricks for a long time and build walls in my hometown. It was a bit tiring. There are only two chapters today.

It will be fine if my mother and the others go into the city by car tomorrow, and I won't have to work. There will be three chapters tomorrow, maybe four chapters.
