A house full of cannon fodder reads my mind. Who knows? I’m going crazy.

Before dark, the two brothers Xie Zhiluo and Ah Huai took a carriage back to see the emperor. They also brought a lot of food to the emperor, such as squid grilled by Yan Bao himself, grilled lamb skewers, grilled eggplant, and There are sixty-year-old fans.

Finally a small cake.

The three-layer cake could not be finished, so the top layer of cake was packed and sent to the emperor.

The smell of barbecue rushed straight to his forehead, and the emperor's mouth watered.

He stared at the food and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Eat some." After Xie Zhiluo asked the palace servants to test the poison, he said, "Father, do you want to drink? I will have a few drinks with you."

The emperor squinted: "You want to drink at a young age?"

Ah Huai took out the juice and said, "This is orange juice that Yan Bao packed for us. My son and the prince are still young. We will have a few drinks with our father after we grow up."

The emperor laughed angrily: "You are really naughty!"

Saying this, the emperor seemed very happy.

Let them sit with you.

He is an emperor and a human being, and occasionally he wants to experience the happiness of a family, a loving father and a filial son, and the happiness of ordinary people.

The emperor took a sip of wine and found a piece of grilled squid in front of him. It was dried squid that had been grilled and then torn into pieces. It was served with a dish of soy sauce and a little bit of mustard. It tasted very good with the wine.

This is what Shen Shoufu eats.

The emperor also tasted it today, thinking that the dried squid would be very fishy. Who knew it was so delicious? A mouthful of dried squid and a sip of wine made him feel as happy as a god.

After finishing a plate of dried squid, the emperor was still not satisfied and looked at Xie Zhiluo.

Xie Zhiluo smiled: "No, Yan Bao just gave me one. If my father likes it, I can ask Yan Bao to send some more to my father tomorrow to drink with him."

The emperor nodded, drank some wine, looked at the two and a half-year-old boys, and asked Ah Huai, "How have you been studying with the master lately?"

Ah Huai said, "It's... not bad."

"What do you think about the train?" The emperor is old and doesn't have so much energy to take care of those things. There are many princes, but few of them are needed.

Xie Zhiluo is the prince and must be trained intensively, so naturally he cannot be released.

Ah Huai is from the common people and has no power and power, so he can be reused.

"Okay!" Ah Huai's eyes were bright, and he could not fart with one stick.

The emperor didn't know how to complain: "Tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Industry and study hard. You will be responsible for the train from now on. My son is definitely not a waste who doesn't know everything."

Ah Huai: "???"

I can't!

Xie Zhiluo kicked him secretly.

Ah Huai then came to his senses and realized that his father was training him, and even if he had no chance of becoming the emperor, he would not be able to enjoy it for free.

If the railway is built, he can be crowned king and rewarded in the future.

Understanding this, Ah Huai neatly knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "My son, I obey my orders. I must study hard and share my father's worries."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and ate a piece of raw grilled squid. Compared with dried squid, grilled dried squid was still more delicious.

When I was at the beach before, why didn't I know that this little guy was so drunk?

When it comes to eating, talk about Bao Hui!

The next day, Yan Bao learned that the emperor liked to eat grilled dried squid. When he went to the palace to thank the emperor for the reward, he presented a large bag of dried squid with instructions on how to eat it, as long as it was roasted and cooked.

The emperor also asked: "What is that green, choking sauce? It's quite tasty."

Yan Bao wrote two words and took out a small porcelain bottle with mustard mud inside.

Yan Bao had prepared it in advance. He squeezed it out of the mustard strips and put it into a new package.

No one knows that people used to squeeze it out like toothpaste.

After entering the palace, Yan Bao went to pay his respects to Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jiang also went to pay her respects. Concubine Jiang also gave her a birthday gift yesterday, so Yan Bao would definitely come to pay her respects.

Concubine Jiang was still favored in the harem, and she was pregnant with another child. Concubine Jiang didn't know it yet. The emperor was getting stronger and stronger. Not long after returning to the palace, Concubine Jiang became pregnant with the little princess.

They were all little princes before, but this time Concubine Jiang got her wish and became pregnant with the little princess.

Yan Bao was not a talkative person. She knew that Concubine Jiang was pregnant, but she didn't tell her.

Ah Huai knew that Yan Bao had entered the palace, so he invited people over and told her what the emperor said last night: "Why did my father entrust me with such an important matter? If I don't do it well, will he?" disappointment?"

Yan Bao patted his shoulder reassuringly, seeing Ah Huai's uneasiness, and wrote: Don't be afraid, just study hard. Building a train is not that easy. As long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something.

Ah Huai still had a crying face: "I don't even know what a train looks like."

Yan Bao: [I know, I've sat there before, but it's a pity that I can't tell you. 】

"I'm so confused now, I don't know what to do." Ah Huai was distressed.

Yan Bao wrote: Don't be anxious, do it bit by bit. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Ah Huai thinks about it too.

Yan Bao was optimistic about A Huai: [You kid, don't look at you who are weak now, but you will be a very powerful road construction expert in the future, especially the train. If you hadn't worked hard, you wouldn't have been able to ride on it within ten years. 】

[Young man, it’s up to you whether I can get on the train early! 】

[Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you are willing to do it, there is nothing you can't do! 】Yan Bao cheered Ahuai up, giving him a little more confidence.

When Ah Huai went to the Ministry of Industry to study, he performed very well. Although he didn't know anything, he was smart and willing to work hard to study, so he grew up little by little.

When the train was being built, the emperor went to see it.

Yan Bao also learned from Shen Shoufu that the railway currently being built was from Beijing to Guangling, a hundred kilometers away.

When the first locomotive came out, the emperor asked Yan Bao to see it. It was covered with red cloth. When it was uncovered, it was a little different from the train in Yan Bao's memory.

Color is not the same.

But the shape is similar.

There was only one carriage and it was in the experimental stage. This was a big deal. The emperor wanted Yan Bao to witness the first locomotive being built.

The train station was built outside the city.

There is no place in the city that is crowded, and every inch of land is precious.

The train station covers a large area and is noisy, so it is best to choose one outside the city.

The capital city is protected by walls and a moat. If the train was to lead into the city, it would be necessary to demolish the walls and build bridges. The project would be too large, and it would not be cost-effective to consider it after multiple considerations.

Yan Bao looked at the brand new train and gave the emperor a thumbs up.

The emperor smiled proudly: "It's not in vain that I spent so much manpower, financial and material resources to finally build the first train."

Yan Bao didn't expect that they would make it in more than a year.

Although there is only one locomotive and one carriage, it is still built.

As the train whistle honked, the emperor took Yan Bao onto the train.

The door design and the carriage are exactly the same as the train in Yanbao's memory.

They are made based on first-hand information.

That’s right, this train is a fish head train with chopped pepper.

Yanbao usually has 118 seats, but this one has 18 seats.

They will cut corners.

Yan Bao could understand that there was almost no industry at this time, and it took more than a year to get 18 positions with the efforts of the whole country.

The seats were limited, so the only people who could get on the train were the emperor, Yan Bao, Xie Zhiluo, Ah Huai, the train builder, Shen Shoufu, and five other cabinet ministers, except for the two people who drove the train.

The rest are guards.

As soon as the train started moving, the people on the train leaned forward.

Yan Bao also staggered forward.

Xie Zhiluo, with sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed Yan Bao's arm: "Be careful!"

Yan Bao nodded with a smile.

Shen Shoufu's eyes widened. He looked at Xie Zhiluo who wouldn't let go of his hand and coughed slightly in warning.

Xie Zhiluo could only retract his hand silently. The corner of his eye fell on Yan Bao, who was looking out the window curiously, with the corners of his mouth raised.

Ah Huai picked his fingers nervously, don't let anything happen, don't, it must go smoothly.

After trying so many times, it will definitely work!

Yan Bao looked at the nervous Ah Huai, patted his shoulder reassuringly, and gave him a look that said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

For some reason, Ah Huai suddenly felt at ease.
