I pretend to be a fairy in ancient times
Chapter 93
Before leaving, Yan Yunjing personally hosted a banquet in the Imperial Garden for Yan Yunkai and Zhao Jizhuang.
After being away for many years, Zhao Ji saw Yan Yunjing again. The sick and weak boy who was suffering from appendicitis and lying on the bed had grown up.
He was only 16 years old, but he was the emperor, and he carried the heavy responsibility of a country on his shoulders, so he couldn't help but become immature.
However, the thought in Zhao Ji's mind was that fortunately Yan Yunjing succeeded Yan Yunkai, it seems that the child who tortured this child is long disabled.If Yan Yunkai continued to work hard, he might lose his hair and get wrinkled, which would be bad.
so far so good.
Zhao Ji glanced at Yan Yunkai from the perspective of picking up vegetables, he seemed to have lied to the child, obviously he wanted to go out to play, and he found some high-sounding reasons.
However, Yan Yunjing said to Yan Yunkai with a very moved expression, "Brother Huang has worked hard for me these years, and now he is going to patrol the world for me to scare Xiao Xiao. I will definitely work hard in the future, and I will never disappoint Brother Huang. my expectations and teachings.”
Yan Yunjing not only toasted Yan Yun with a glass of wine, but also called the newly married Empress Fu to pour wine for Yan Yun as a salute.
The queen was only a 15-year-old girl, she was naturally good-looking and dignified, she called Yan Yun "Brother Huang", with a very calm voice, maybe this is the bearing of a queen.
Zhao Ji only took one look, and then his eyes fell on the various flowers around the queen, all of which were cultivated in the glass greenhouse.
He thought absently, it seems that Yan Yunkai's initiative to decentralize power really touched Yan Yunjing, maybe there are still many people who want to laugh at Yan Yunkai behind his back as a fool.
Just when Zhao Ji was distracted, Yan Yunjing called him again, "Mr. Zhao saved my life back then, and he never thanked you face to face. I'll toast you too."
Zhao Ji didn't say any polite words, just kept smiling the whole time, and drank the wine in the glass directly.
Alas, the little emperor just said clearly that he would not be polite, but he became polite instead.
He used to deal with such things, he would not be so impatient, maybe he was about to leave at last, Zhao Ji suddenly felt anxious.
Yan Yunkai noticed Zhao Ji's emotional change, and said a few things that the court needs to pay attention to, diverting Yan Yunjing's attention away.
After eating a meal for two hours, when Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai came out of the palace, they confirmed once again that he was not in harmony with the aura of the palace.
On the second day after saying goodbye to Yan Yunjing, Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai took their luggage to the train station in the west of the city.
Now there are only two train lines running across the country, which run through the east and west and north and south respectively, and then meet at Jian'an City.
When the railway was first built, it was divided into dozens of sections and started construction at the same time. It used 300 million workers, and only one railway cost 8000 million taels of silver. These were all private investments in cooperation between Yan Yunkai and Shen Tuan, and did not use the treasury. resources, the resistance encountered was negligible, so the first railroad took two years to repair.
After the opening of the railway, the income of the first ten years will belong to the investor, and then it will be taken back to the state, because the land for the construction of the railway is expropriated in the name of the state.
However, Yan Yunkai will not do business at a loss, and this year's income alone has already recovered one-third of the cost.Moreover, the engine technology capable of making locomotives still belongs to the workshop opened by Yan Yun. Of course, such a secret cannot be disclosed casually.
At present, it seems that the people who benefit the most from the opening of trains are definitely not ordinary people who rely on trains to travel, but those businessmen who transport bulk goods.According to Chen Xing, the tea shop of Wang's, his former owner, transported goods to Beijing by train this year, which saved a lot of trouble and saved a lot of money.
Dajin’s business is very developed, and years of loose policies have also cultivated a large number of far-sighted businessmen. Before the first railway was completed, some people applied to the imperial court for a joint venture to build the second railway, so the second railway The railway was opened in September this year.
Nowadays, you can take the train when you travel far, and there are concrete roads for shortcuts. People's travel is much more convenient.Correspondingly, the probability of people committing crimes has also increased a lot, especially crimes committed by wandering.
This is a time of drastic change.
Zhao Ji looked at Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia who came to the train station to see them off, and actually hoped that they could go out and have a look and feel the changes in the world, but they were unwilling to leave the capital.
Jiang Xu followed Zhao Ji stubbornly. Since Zhao Ji persuaded Jiang Heshan to let Jiang Xu study by his side, it is impossible to leave her in the capital irresponsibly.In addition, there are Yang Xiaoer, Tang Jia, Zhang Guanshi, Li Tian, and others.
Of course Yan Yunkai hoped that he and Zhao Ji would be the only ones traveling, but this trip also planned to inspect various industries, so Zhang Guanshi, Li Tian and others had to follow.Since it was necessary to bring those irrelevant people along, it was no problem to add Jiang Xu and Yang Xiaoer.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Xiao and the others, Zhao Ji and the others got on the train through the VIP passage.
They booked an entire VIP car, with a dedicated chef in charge of catering, and everyone had their own small lounge, separated by wooden boards painted with blue paint, and the decoration of the entire car was mainly blue and white. Simple and elegant.
Before the train started, the conductor met Yan Yunkai and Zhao Ji with the sheriff and the train driver. Yan Yunkai encouraged them and sent them away.
At present, the quality of the train staff is very good, and the standing posture and speaking manner are very good.Before taking up their posts, they all received a year of rigorous training, including culture and etiquette. Li Tian was in charge of these, so Yan Yunkai also praised him a few words.
Recently, Li Tian is no longer a secret agent, because Zhao Ji discovered that his talent in business far exceeds the value of being a spy.
The current speed of the train is very slow, with an average speed of only [-] kilometers per hour, but compared with Zhao Ji's previous two trips, this trip can really be said to be enjoyable.
Eat, eat, sleep and sleep all the way, the train arrived at Suzhou Station on time two days later.Before that, Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai had only been on the trial run train in the workshop, and it was the first time to officially make a train.
Jiang Xu's father, Jiang Heshan, was promoted to the general judge of Suzhou last year. After returning to Beijing to report on his work during the Chinese New Year, he took the train back to Suzhou in the second year of junior high school.
Now that the train is open, officials from other places like Jiang Heshan can also bring their families to and from the capital and their places of work quickly.
It is said that someone in the DPRK proposed that in the future, the practice of returning to Beijing to report on work once every three years should be changed to once every six months or once a year, so as to strengthen the management of local officials.
But now there are still many places without trains, so the proposal is just a proposal, and it may take another eight or ten years to actually implement it.
Zhao Ji and the others wrote a letter to Jiang Heshan two days before departure, and when Zhao Ji and the others got off the train at Suzhou Railway Station, Feng Da, the housekeeper of the Tongpan Mansion, was waiting for them at the station.
After all, he wandered around in a closed carriage for three days. After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Ji felt that the world was much wider. However, he was dizzy, his feet were sloppy, and after all, he was a little mentally exhausted. He just wanted to find a stable bed and sleep well for a day and a night.
Yan Yunkai's physical fitness is good. He used to ride horses for hundreds of miles and sleep on horseback. The mere two days in the car did not have any impact on him.
Jiang Xu and Yang Xiaoer's condition is not bad either, they are both energetic little dolls, plus it's their first time traveling far away, their spirits are high, they keep opening the window to see the scene outside while sitting in the carriage.
Now that the trains have been built, bicycles are of course no problem. There are many people riding bicycles in Jian'an City. When we arrive in Suzhou City, we can see that there are more people riding bicycles, and many of them are women.
Zhao Ji asked Feng Da why, and Feng Da said, "These female workers made money in the workshop, and some of them would send money back to their families. There were also those who spent money regardless of the consequences, and spent it recklessly after making money, such as rouge and water powder. New clothes, as well as this new bicycle, all have to be bought, and some even compare with each other about what good things they have."
Zhao Ji feels that even if he spends the money he earns at will, it's no big deal. The most important thing is to have the ability and opportunity to make money.
In order to prevent Feng Da from speaking ill of those female workers, Zhao Ji said, "It seems that there are no villains and thieves in Suzhou City, so these women can walk on the road with peace of mind." Praise Jiang Heshan's political achievements.
Feng Da was really happy to hear that, and then he said a lot of things to praise Jiang Heshan's political achievements.For example, the salaries of the servants were increased, and they were allowed to patrol the city day and night, or they were diligent in order to be honest and upright.
Jiang Xu was also in their car, and when he heard Feng Da talking about his father, he also had a very concerned expression on his face.
Even though Jiang Xu cared so much about his father, once she talked about letting her go back to his father, she was unwilling.
What a strange feeling this man had, a desire to be close to him and awe to behold on the other.
When Yan Yun arrived in Suzhou, even if he didn't notify the Suzhou magistrate's Yamen, all the officials in Suzhou, big and small, knew about it.
But Yan Yunkai's trip this time is for fun, and he claims to be an official who is dedicated to serving.Yan Yunkai said that he had no power in his hands, and he refused all invitations from officials big and small.
However, these officials, how dare they treat Yan Yunkai as an ordinary official, he was once an uncrowned king.
For this reason, the prefect of Suzhou convened a meeting of officials of all sizes, and finally came up with a solution. Since Yan Yunkai had something to do with Jiang Heshan, he would let Jiang Heshan take leave, and all the official duties would be shared by others. His only task now is to play with Yan Yunkai. .
When Jiang Heshan met Yan Yunkai last time, Yan Yunkai claimed to be a failed scholar. It wasn't until King Wei's rebellion was quelled that Jiang Heshan realized that the person who traveled with him was actually the famous Yan Yunkai.
Since that meeting, Jiang Heshan has never seen Yan Yunkai again.
Now more than three years have passed, Jiang Heshan saw Yan Yunkai again, he was still wearing a white scholar's uniform, his appearance had hardly changed.
On the other hand, he himself was obviously only a few years younger, with many gray hairs growing on both sides of his temples, and a few more wrinkles on his forehead.
Zhao Ji and Jiang Heshan only met each other during the Chinese New Year, and they were not strangers. They received them very warmly, and at night, they mentioned to Zhao Ji that they wanted their daughter to stay by their side.
Zhao Ji didn't answer him, but called Jiang Xu to him and asked her to speak by herself.
Seeing Zhao Ji's encouraging eyes, Jiang Xu knew that her master would support her choice, so she said to Jiang Heshan, "A daughter can't rely on her parents forever. Now she is learning art from her master. How can she give up halfway before she has completed her skills."
Seeing his daughter's resolute attitude, Jiang Heshan had no choice but to give up his own ideas.
The next day, Jiang Heshan took Zhao Ji and the others to see several workshops outside the city. They saw that the windows were clean and clean. They asked the workers, and they all said that the food was good and the wages were paid on time.
Yan Yunkai and the others knew that this was a cliché to deal with inspections from above. Before they went to the workshop, they must have cleaned it specially, and they also explained how the workers should respond.
But looking at the overall environment of the workshop, it is also good, so I didn't pursue too much.
On the third day, I went to see the commercial street in the city. There were already many four or five-story buildings. I was tired from shopping, so I walked into a teahouse. After I sat down, Yan Yunkai asked Jiang Heshan bluntly, "Jiang Heshan Brother and I are old acquaintances, I want to know if the farmland in Suzhou is barren."
Jiang Heshan shook his head quickly, "Although there are a few workshops that recruit male workers, we still focus on the textile industry in Suzhou, and most of them are female workers. The fields in the countryside are not barren."
Yan Yunkai asked again, "In the largest workshop just now, the shopkeeper's surname is Zhang. I asked specifically, and he said that Li Zao Zhang has the same surname as the prefect of Suzhou. This must not be a coincidence."
Jiang Heshan said truthfully, "I heard that they belong to the same clan, and some people say that the workshop is actually the property of the magistrate. In addition, there are several adults who have their own workshops. To be honest, my wife's cousin He also said to open a workshop, and I agree. As long as you pay taxes on time, don’t deduct workers, and don’t discriminate against your peers, I don’t think it’s a problem.”
Yan Yun nodded, "There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money, as long as you don't abuse your power, it doesn't matter."
Jiang Heshan said, "Extremely so. We have also investigated and dealt with several black workshops before, and one of them is really a heinous one. The law of the court forbids the killing of slaves, and this family was originally a big family in Fucheng, with a reputation for raising people, after being found out, the magistrate led people to search it."
Now is the time of peace and prosperity, how can people who kill people at will be allowed to exist.
There are always people who are greedy for profit. As long as the big surface can be maintained, the bottom will not be chaotic.Yan Yunkai had a general understanding of the situation in Suzhou, so he didn't plan to stay here any longer.
The hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River has always been an important taxation area for the imperial court, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at it, so there will be no major problems.If something goes wrong, it will only appear in the border areas, where the power of the imperial court is extremely weakened.
Yan Yunkai and the others only stayed in Suzhou for three days, and then they got into the carriage and looked towards Hangzhou.Between Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is a straight concrete road. The carriage ran very smoothly on the road. It only took one day to reach Hangzhou City.
It’s not much fun to go boating on the West Lake. It’s the beginning of spring, the snow in the south of the Yangtze River has long since melted, and the willow buds have just emerged. There’s not even a single flower bud.
The next journey is all the way to the west, they are going to Yazhou, where there is a private port belonging to Yan Yunkai.
The shipyard run by Yan Yun has built large ships capable of going out to sea, and there have been caravans going out to sea in the past two years, but most of the overseas goods are rare playthings. Dajin's tea, silk, porcelain, and glass were very popular when shipped out, and a lot of gold was earned back.
This is Zhao Ji's request, as long as gold is not silver.Only sell pleasure toys, not technology products.
After leaving Hangzhou, there are not so many good roads to go.
The carriage had to pass through old and uneven roads and some bandit-infested areas. In order not to be damaged, they brought four more guards after leaving Hangzhou.
Bringing guards is also a kind of intimidation, but the group of them encountered two bandits blocking the road on the road, and they were all bandits with more than ten people each armed with weapons.Yan Yunkai can always see the traces of bandits in advance, and Tang Jia leads people to take them to his old nest in the end.
Jiang Xu couldn't help being excited when he saw it. He showed his hospitality in front of Uncle Yan and wanted to learn Kung Fu.
However, Yan Yun shook his head and said, "You child, you only know that you are called Uncle Yan when you ask me for help. You have a smart head, but it's a pity that it's not the material for martial arts."
Because Yan Yunkai said that she was not suitable for martial arts, Jiang Xu was so angry that he didn't talk to Yan Yunkai for a day, but a day later, she dragged Yang Xiaoer to Yan Yunkai and said, "Yang Xiaoer said he also wants to learn martial arts." , Uncle Yan, let's see if he has talent."
Yan Yunkai pinched Yang Xiaoer's wrist, and let him kick his legs, "It's okay, you let him get up every morning to practice with Tang Jia, as long as he can persist for three years, he can achieve small success in martial arts, and after that Choose a weapon to practice."
"Okay." Jiang Xu almost jumped up with joy, although Yang Xiaoer was also very happy, but he just hooked the corners of his mouth, and didn't show much emotion.
When they walked slowly to Yazhou, it was already three months later. In addition to encountering bandits along the way, they also saw several black factories, and Tang Jia led people to arrest the perpetrators. In case of collusion, it can be easily resolved by asking Yan Yun to come forward.
Yazhou in April is already a summer scene, with rippling seas, golden sandy beaches, and fresh and delicious seafood. On the first day when he arrived in Yazhou, Zhao Ji was full.
But he looked at the grilled conch on the iron rack unsatisfied, and wanted to eat another one.
Touched his slightly protruding belly, or goodbye.
After eating and drinking enough (coconut juice), Zhao Ji lay on the beach without any image, the sun shone warmly on his body, making him feel comfortable.
Just when Zhao Ji was feeling drowsy, a shadow suddenly blocked the sunlight. He opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was Yan Yunkai who was sitting cross-legged next to him, blocking the sunlight.
Zhao Ji pushed him, "You are blocking my light."
Yan Yunkai said, "Your face is red from the sun, if you continue to expose yourself to the sun, your skin will peel off."
Zhao Ji was so frightened that he acted, touched his cheek, and it was really hot.
After staying in Yazhou's seaport for half a year, when Zhao Ji and the others set off to return to Beijing, everyone was at least five degrees dark.
In the past six months, Zhao Ji and the others have only gone fishing by boat a few times, but Zhao Ji's fishing skills are still very bad, and every time they have to go to the bucket opened by Yan Yun to divide the fish.
Every time Jiang Xu saw his master and wife flirting regardless of the occasion, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but they didn't have any crack in the sea for him to drill.
In the past six months, they have not only been playing, but also undergoing rigorous training.Every day, I practice swimming for three hours, board surfing for two hours, practice the method of controlling the sail, and learn to recognize the stars.Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai decided to go out to sea with the boat, and of course they had to practice the necessary survival skills in advance.
But they are just practicing, and they have to rush back to the capital for the New Year in November, and the plan to go to sea is scheduled for next year.
When returning to Beijing from Yazhou, something happened that made Zhao Ji angry.
They took the train for two days to go to Huizhou Mansion. They planned to follow the instructions in Mrs. Xia's letter, get off at Huizhou Mansion and go back to their hometown to sweep the tomb before returning to the capital. However, after leaving the station, the government officials stopped them, saying that they would charge an additional fee for leaving the station. .
Yan Yunkai handled this matter very well, so he directly contacted the garrison and arrested the officials involved in the case.
But Zhao Ji was full of emotion in his heart, Huizhou is a place that does not show mountains and dews, and he does not know what kind of bad luck has happened, why he always encounters corrupt officials, and he is always audacious.
Later, Yanyun fined all the train staff who passed by Huizhou Station three months' wages on the grounds that they did not report their knowledge.
With such a heavy punishment, I believe that such things will not happen again in the future. In the past, it was better to do less than to do more. Those who were afraid of offending the officials, now they are personally involved, and they will know how to choose.
After returning to Beijing, as soon as Mrs. Xia saw Zhao Ji's black face, she cried on the spot, insisting that Zhao Ji had suffered outside.
Zhao Jilian said no, he ate well and slept well outside, was tired of spending time with his lover every day, and gained ten catties on the scale.It's just because of the darkening of the skin and the daily exercise, the muscles are all grown, so it's hard to see it.
He has abs, a full four pack.
Zhao Ji is extremely proud every time he sees his abdominal muscles.
After Yan Yunkai returned to Beijing, he went to the palace to meet Yan Yunjing. After a year of being alone, Yan Yunjing became much calmer.
Yan Yunkai talked about going to sea, but Yan Yunjing said with a smile, "Brother Huang, I'm going to be a father. The imperial doctor said that the queen will give birth in mid-February next year, can you wait until my nephew is born before going to sea?" "
Yan Yunkai could only agree.
After celebrating the new year in the capital, Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai went to live in the hot spring village on Taiqi Mountain for more than ten days.When Zhao Ji's skin became whiter, the queen was finally about to give birth.
Yan Yun drove back to the National Teacher's Mansion, only waiting for the birth of a nephew or niece.But until nightfall, the child was never born.
When he finally heard that a eunuch was coming, Yan Yunkai also had a smile on his face, and the child he raised with his own hands also had a child of his own.
But the eunuch brought not good news.
"The Empress Dowager's delivery was not smooth. The high court judged and Yu Yuxue said that Mr. Zhao had a method of caesarean section. The Empress Dowager asked Mr. Zhao to enter the palace to save the Empress Dowager."
Many people in the capital knew about Zhao Ji's caesarean section on Fan Xian'er.However, when all kinds of surgical operations have become common, no one in the capital is willing to try a caesarean section.
Unexpectedly, the royal family was willing to set such a precedent.Zhao Ji felt that since then, caesarean section surgery has been promoted.
Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, he would see the emperor and the queen mother first. The emperor wanted Zhao Ji to rescue the queen immediately, but the queen mother wanted Zhao Ji to give the female doctors in the palace the operation method, and then let them give it to them. The queen has surgery.
Isn't this a joke.
Zhao Ji's heart immediately turned cold.
Yan Yunjing wanted to argue with the Queen Mother, but heard Yan Yunkai, who came with Zhao Ji, say, "Let Xu'er bring a few ladies in clothes to perform surgery on the Queen."
Jiang Xu went out with Zhao Ji last year and gained a lot of experience in treating diseases.Especially when I helped in the clinic in Yazhou later, knowing that their mentor and apprentice could cure dystocia, many people came to ask for help.Yazhou has been a place of alienation since ancient times, and it doesn't matter whether Zhao Ji is a male doctor or not, it's more important to save his life.
To some extent, Jiang Xu is also experienced.
After Yan Yunkai put forward his suggestion, he quickly took Zhao Ji's hand, squeezed it, and calmed down his irritable mood.
During the time when Jiang Xu was brought into the palace, Zhao Ji went to inject anesthetics into the queen's spine.
After Jiang Xu was taken into the palace, he looked at Zhao Ji helplessly, and the little girl finally became a little scared.
Zhao Ji had no choice but to pat her head and encouraged, "Be calm, what you want to save is a patient, a life, and you know what to do."
"Hmm..." Looking at Jiang Xu's back, Zhao Ji felt that she seemed to have grown a lot.
The queen gave birth to a son and a daughter by caesarean section, which turned out to be twins.Now the hospital is about to die, and the pulse of the twins can't be read out.Fortunately, the mother and child are all safe. The queen mother said that she would do good to the little prince and princess, so they were not punished. Instead, they were all fined for one year.
But the imperial physicians were also wronged. The pulse of the fetus was already weak. Among them, the eldest prince was born at six catties and two taels, while the eldest princess was less than three catties. This strong and weak one deceived all the imperial physicians.
It was not until April that the fleet led by Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai set off from Yazhou Port.
Now there are only the two of them, and it is unknown whether they will face the storm or the new land in the future, anyway, it will be the two of them facing it together.

After being away for many years, Zhao Ji saw Yan Yunjing again. The sick and weak boy who was suffering from appendicitis and lying on the bed had grown up.
He was only 16 years old, but he was the emperor, and he carried the heavy responsibility of a country on his shoulders, so he couldn't help but become immature.
However, the thought in Zhao Ji's mind was that fortunately Yan Yunjing succeeded Yan Yunkai, it seems that the child who tortured this child is long disabled.If Yan Yunkai continued to work hard, he might lose his hair and get wrinkled, which would be bad.
so far so good.
Zhao Ji glanced at Yan Yunkai from the perspective of picking up vegetables, he seemed to have lied to the child, obviously he wanted to go out to play, and he found some high-sounding reasons.
However, Yan Yunjing said to Yan Yunkai with a very moved expression, "Brother Huang has worked hard for me these years, and now he is going to patrol the world for me to scare Xiao Xiao. I will definitely work hard in the future, and I will never disappoint Brother Huang. my expectations and teachings.”
Yan Yunjing not only toasted Yan Yun with a glass of wine, but also called the newly married Empress Fu to pour wine for Yan Yun as a salute.
The queen was only a 15-year-old girl, she was naturally good-looking and dignified, she called Yan Yun "Brother Huang", with a very calm voice, maybe this is the bearing of a queen.
Zhao Ji only took one look, and then his eyes fell on the various flowers around the queen, all of which were cultivated in the glass greenhouse.
He thought absently, it seems that Yan Yunkai's initiative to decentralize power really touched Yan Yunjing, maybe there are still many people who want to laugh at Yan Yunkai behind his back as a fool.
Just when Zhao Ji was distracted, Yan Yunjing called him again, "Mr. Zhao saved my life back then, and he never thanked you face to face. I'll toast you too."
Zhao Ji didn't say any polite words, just kept smiling the whole time, and drank the wine in the glass directly.
Alas, the little emperor just said clearly that he would not be polite, but he became polite instead.
He used to deal with such things, he would not be so impatient, maybe he was about to leave at last, Zhao Ji suddenly felt anxious.
Yan Yunkai noticed Zhao Ji's emotional change, and said a few things that the court needs to pay attention to, diverting Yan Yunjing's attention away.
After eating a meal for two hours, when Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai came out of the palace, they confirmed once again that he was not in harmony with the aura of the palace.
On the second day after saying goodbye to Yan Yunjing, Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai took their luggage to the train station in the west of the city.
Now there are only two train lines running across the country, which run through the east and west and north and south respectively, and then meet at Jian'an City.
When the railway was first built, it was divided into dozens of sections and started construction at the same time. It used 300 million workers, and only one railway cost 8000 million taels of silver.

Nowadays, you can take the train when you travel far, and there are concrete roads for shortcuts. People's travel is much more convenient.Correspondingly, the probability of people committing crimes has also increased a lot, especially crimes committed by wandering.
This is a time of drastic change.
Zhao Ji looked at Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia who came to the train station to see them off, and actually hoped that they could go out and have a look and feel the changes in the world, but they were unwilling to leave the capital.
Jiang Xu followed Zhao Ji stubbornly. Since Zhao Ji persuaded Jiang Heshan to let Jiang Xu study by his side, it is impossible to leave her in the capital irresponsibly.In addition, there are Yang Xiaoer, Tang Jia, Zhang Guanshi, Li Tian, and others.
Of course Yan Yunkai hoped that he and Zhao Ji would be the only ones traveling, but this trip also planned to inspect various industries, so Zhang Guanshi, Li Tian and others had to follow.Since it was necessary to bring those irrelevant people along, it was no problem to add Jiang Xu and Yang Xiaoer.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Xiao and the others, Zhao Ji and the others got on the train through the VIP passage.
They booked an entire VIP car, with a dedicated chef in charge of catering, and everyone had their own small lounge, separated by wooden boards painted with blue paint, and the decoration of the entire car was mainly blue and white. Simple and elegant.
Before the train started, the conductor met Yan Yunkai and Zhao Ji with the sheriff and the train driver. Yan Yunkai encouraged them and sent them away.
At present, the quality of the train staff is very good, and the standing posture and speaking manner are very good.Before taking up their posts, they all received a year of rigorous training, including culture and etiquette. Li Tian was in charge of these, so Yan Yunkai also praised him a few words.
Recently, Li Tian is no longer a secret agent, because Zhao Ji discovered that his talent in business far exceeds the value of being a spy.
The current speed of the train is very slow, with an average speed of only [-] kilometers per hour, but compared with Zhao Ji's previous two trips, this trip can really be said to be enjoyable.
Eat, eat, sleep and sleep all the way, the train arrived at Suzhou Station on time two days later.Before that, Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai had only been on the trial run train in the workshop, and it was the first time to officially make a train.
Jiang Xu's father, Jiang Heshan, was promoted to the general judge of Suzhou last year. After returning to Beijing to report on his work during the Chinese New Year, he took the train back to Suzhou in the second year of junior high school.
Now that the train is open, officials from other places like Jiang Heshan can also bring their families to and from the capital and their places of work quickly.
It is said that someone in the DPRK proposed that in the future, the practice of returning to Beijing to report on work once every three years should be changed to once every six months or once a year, so as to strengthen the management of local officials.
But now there are still many places without trains, so the proposal is just a proposal, and it may take another eight or ten years to actually implement it.
Zhao Ji and the others wrote a letter to Jiang Heshan two days before departure, and when Zhao Ji and the others got off the train at Suzhou Railway Station, Feng Da, the housekeeper of the Tongpan Mansion, was waiting for them at the station.
After all, he wandered around in a closed carriage for three days. After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Ji felt that the world was much wider. However, he was dizzy, his feet were sloppy, and after all, he was a little mentally exhausted. He just wanted to find a stable bed and sleep well for a day and a night.
Yan Yunkai's physical fitness is good. He used to ride horses for hundreds of miles and sleep on horseback. The mere two days in the car did not have any impact on him.
Jiang Xu and Yang Xiaoer's condition is not bad either, they are both energetic little dolls, plus it's their first time traveling far away, their spirits are high, they keep opening the window to see the scene outside while sitting in the carriage.
Now that the trains have been built, bicycles are of course no problem. There are many people riding bicycles in Jian'an City. When we arrive in Suzhou City, we can see that there are more people riding bicycles, and many of them are women.
Zhao Ji asked Feng Da why, and Feng Da said, "These female workers made money in the workshop, and some of them would send money back to their families. There were also those who spent money regardless of the consequences, and spent it recklessly after making money, such as rouge and water powder. New clothes, as well as this new bicycle, all have to be bought, and some even compare with each other about what good things they have."
Zhao Ji feels that even if he spends the money he earns at will, it's no big deal. The most important thing is to have the ability and opportunity to make money.
In order to prevent Feng Da from speaking ill of those female workers, Zhao Ji said, "It seems that there are no villains and thieves in Suzhou City, so these women can walk on the road with peace of mind." Praise Jiang Heshan's political achievements.
Feng Da was really happy to hear that, and then he said a lot of things to praise Jiang Heshan's political achievements.For example, the salaries of the servants were increased, and they were allowed to patrol the city day and night, or they were diligent in order to be honest and upright.
Jiang Xu was also in their car, and when he heard Feng Da talking about his father, he also had a very concerned expression on his face.
Even though Jiang Xu cared so much about his father, once she talked about letting her go back to his father, she was unwilling.
What a strange feeling this man had, a desire to be close to him and awe to behold on the other.
When Yan Yun arrived in Suzhou, even if he didn't notify the Suzhou magistrate's Yamen, all the officials in Suzhou, big and small, knew about it.
But Yan Yunkai's trip this time is for fun, and he claims to be an official who is dedicated to serving.Yan Yunkai said that he had no power in his hands, and he refused all invitations from officials big and small.
However, these officials, how dare they treat Yan Yunkai as an ordinary official, he was once an uncrowned king.
For this reason, the prefect of Suzhou convened a meeting of officials of all sizes, and finally came up with a solution. Since Yan Yunkai had something to do with Jiang Heshan, he would let Jiang Heshan take leave, and all the official duties would be shared by others. His only task now is to play with Yan Yunkai. .
When Jiang Heshan met Yan Yunkai last time, Yan Yunkai claimed to be a failed scholar. It wasn't until King Wei's rebellion was quelled that Jiang Heshan realized that the person who traveled with him was actually the famous Yan Yunkai.
Since that meeting, Jiang Heshan has never seen Yan Yunkai again.
Now more than three years have passed, Jiang Heshan saw Yan Yunkai again, he was still wearing a white scholar's uniform, his appearance had hardly changed.
On the other hand, he himself was obviously only a few years younger, with many gray hairs growing on both sides of his temples, and a few more wrinkles on his forehead.
Zhao Ji and Jiang Heshan only met each other during the Chinese New Year, and they were not strangers. They received them very warmly, and at night, they mentioned to Zhao Ji that they wanted their daughter to stay by their side.
Zhao Ji didn't answer him, but called Jiang Xu to him and asked her to speak by herself.
Seeing Zhao Ji's encouraging eyes, Jiang Xu knew that her master would support her choice, so she said to Jiang Heshan, "A daughter can't rely on her parents forever. Now she is learning art from her master. How can she give up halfway before she has completed her skills."
Seeing his daughter's resolute attitude, Jiang Heshan had no choice but to give up his own ideas.
The next day, Jiang Heshan took Zhao Ji and the others to see several workshops outside the city. They saw that the windows were clean and clean. They asked the workers, and they all said that the food was good and the wages were paid on time.
Yan Yunkai and the others knew that this was a cliché to deal with inspections from above. Before they went to the workshop, they must have cleaned it specially, and they also explained how the workers should respond.
But looking at the overall environment of the workshop, it is also good, so I didn't pursue too much.
On the third day, I went to see the commercial street in the city. There were already many four or five-story buildings. I was tired from shopping, so I walked into a teahouse. After I sat down, Yan Yunkai asked Jiang Heshan bluntly, "Jiang Heshan Brother and I are old acquaintances, I want to know if the farmland in Suzhou is barren."
Jiang Heshan shook his head quickly, "Although there are a few workshops that recruit male workers, we still focus on the textile industry in Suzhou, and most of them are female workers. The fields in the countryside are not barren."
Yan Yunkai asked again, "In the largest workshop just now, the shopkeeper's surname is Zhang. I asked specifically, and he said that Li Zao Zhang has the same surname as the prefect of Suzhou. This must not be a coincidence."
Jiang Heshan said truthfully, "I heard that they belong to the same clan, and some people say that the workshop is actually the property of the magistrate. In addition, there are several adults who have their own workshops. To be honest, my wife's cousin He also said to open a workshop, and I agree. As long as you pay taxes on time, don’t deduct workers, and don’t discriminate against your peers, I don’t think it’s a problem.”
Yan Yun nodded, "There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money, as long as you don't abuse your power, it doesn't matter."
Jiang Heshan said, "Extremely so. We have also investigated and dealt with several black workshops before, and one of them is really a heinous one. The law of the court forbids the killing of slaves, and this family was originally a big family in Fucheng, with a reputation for raising people, after being found out, the magistrate led people to search it."
Now is the time of peace and prosperity, how can people who kill people at will be allowed to exist.
There are always people who are greedy for profit. As long as the big surface can be maintained, the bottom will not be chaotic.Yan Yunkai had a general understanding of the situation in Suzhou, so he didn't plan to stay here any longer.
The hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River has always been an important taxation area for the imperial court, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at it, so there will be no major problems.If something goes wrong, it will only appear in the border areas, where the power of the imperial court is extremely weakened.
Yan Yunkai and the others only stayed in Suzhou for three days, and then they got into the carriage and looked towards Hangzhou.Between Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is a straight concrete road. The carriage ran very smoothly on the road. It only took one day to reach Hangzhou City.
It’s not much fun to go boating on the West Lake. It’s the beginning of spring, the snow in the south of the Yangtze River has long since melted, and the willow buds have just emerged. There’s not even a single flower bud.
The next journey is all the way to the west, they are going to Yazhou, where there is a private port belonging to Yan Yunkai.
The shipyard run by Yan Yun has built large ships capable of going out to sea, and there have been caravans going out to sea in the past two years, but most of the overseas goods are rare playthings. Dajin's tea, silk, porcelain, and glass were very popular when shipped out, and a lot of gold was earned back.
This is Zhao Ji's request, as long as gold is not silver.Only sell pleasure toys, not technology products.
After leaving Hangzhou, there are not so many good roads to go.
The carriage had to pass through old and uneven roads and some bandit-infested areas. In order not to be damaged, they brought four more guards after leaving Hangzhou.
Bringing guards is also a kind of intimidation, but the group of them encountered two bandits blocking the road on the road, and they were all bandits with more than ten people each armed with weapons.Yan Yunkai can always see the traces of bandits in advance, and Tang Jia leads people to take them to his old nest in the end.
Jiang Xu couldn't help being excited when he saw it. He showed his hospitality in front of Uncle Yan and wanted to learn Kung Fu.
However, Yan Yun shook his head and said, "You child, you only know that you are called Uncle Yan when you ask me for help. You have a smart head, but it's a pity that it's not the material for martial arts."
Because Yan Yunkai said that she was not suitable for martial arts, Jiang Xu was so angry that he didn't talk to Yan Yunkai for a day, but a day later, she dragged Yang Xiaoer to Yan Yunkai and said, "Yang Xiaoer said he also wants to learn martial arts." , Uncle Yan, let's see if he has talent."
Yan Yunkai pinched Yang Xiaoer's wrist, and let him kick his legs, "It's okay, you let him get up every morning to practice with Tang Jia, as long as he can persist for three years, he can achieve small success in martial arts, and after that Choose a weapon to practice."
"Okay." Jiang Xu almost jumped up with joy, although Yang Xiaoer was also very happy, but he just hooked the corners of his mouth, and didn't show much emotion.
When they walked slowly to Yazhou, it was already three months later. In addition to encountering bandits along the way, they also saw several black factories, and Tang Jia led people to arrest the perpetrators. In case of collusion, it can be easily resolved by asking Yan Yun to come forward.
Yazhou in April is already a summer scene, with rippling seas, golden sandy beaches, and fresh and delicious seafood. On the first day when he arrived in Yazhou, Zhao Ji was full.
But he looked at the grilled conch on the iron rack unsatisfied, and wanted to eat another one.
Touched his slightly protruding belly, or goodbye.
After eating and drinking enough (coconut juice), Zhao Ji lay on the beach without any image, the sun shone warmly on his body, making him feel comfortable.
Just when Zhao Ji was feeling drowsy, a shadow suddenly blocked the sunlight. He opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was Yan Yunkai who was sitting cross-legged next to him, blocking the sunlight.
Zhao Ji pushed him, "You are blocking my light."
Yan Yunkai said, "Your face is red from the sun, if you continue to expose yourself to the sun, your skin will peel off."
Zhao Ji was so frightened that he acted, touched his cheek, and it was really hot.
After staying in Yazhou's seaport for half a year, when Zhao Ji and the others set off to return to Beijing, everyone was at least five degrees dark.
In the past six months, Zhao Ji and the others have only gone fishing by boat a few times, but Zhao Ji's fishing skills are still very bad, and every time they have to go to the bucket opened by Yan Yun to divide the fish.
Every time Jiang Xu saw his master and wife flirting regardless of the occasion, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but they didn't have any crack in the sea for him to drill.
In the past six months, they have not only been playing, but also undergoing rigorous training.Every day, I practice swimming for three hours, board surfing for two hours, practice the method of controlling the sail, and learn to recognize the stars.Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai decided to go out to sea with the boat, and of course they had to practice the necessary survival skills in advance.
But they are just practicing, and they have to rush back to the capital for the New Year in November, and the plan to go to sea is scheduled for next year.
When returning to Beijing from Yazhou, something happened that made Zhao Ji angry.
They took the train for two days to go to Huizhou Mansion. They planned to follow the instructions in Mrs. Xia's letter, get off at Huizhou Mansion and go back to their hometown to sweep the tomb before returning to the capital. However, after leaving the station, the government officials stopped them, saying that they would charge an additional fee for leaving the station. .
Yan Yunkai handled this matter very well, so he directly contacted the garrison and arrested the officials involved in the case.
But Zhao Ji was full of emotion in his heart, Huizhou is a place that does not show mountains and dews, and he does not know what kind of bad luck has happened, why he always encounters corrupt officials, and he is always audacious.
Later, Yanyun fined all the train staff who passed by Huizhou Station three months' wages on the grounds that they did not report their knowledge.
With such a heavy punishment, I believe that such things will not happen again in the future. In the past, it was better to do less than to do more. Those who were afraid of offending the officials, now they are personally involved, and they will know how to choose.
After returning to Beijing, as soon as Mrs. Xia saw Zhao Ji's black face, she cried on the spot, insisting that Zhao Ji had suffered outside.
Zhao Jilian said no, he ate well and slept well outside, was tired of spending time with his lover every day, and gained ten catties on the scale.It's just because of the darkening of the skin and the daily exercise, the muscles are all grown, so it's hard to see it.
He has abs, a full four pack.
Zhao Ji is extremely proud every time he sees his abdominal muscles.
After Yan Yunkai returned to Beijing, he went to the palace to meet Yan Yunjing. After a year of being alone, Yan Yunjing became much calmer.
Yan Yunkai talked about going to sea, but Yan Yunjing said with a smile, "Brother Huang, I'm going to be a father. The imperial doctor said that the queen will give birth in mid-February next year, can you wait until my nephew is born before going to sea?" "
Yan Yunkai could only agree.
After celebrating the new year in the capital, Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai went to live in the hot spring village on Taiqi Mountain for more than ten days.When Zhao Ji's skin became whiter, the queen was finally about to give birth.
Yan Yun drove back to the National Teacher's Mansion, only waiting for the birth of a nephew or niece.But until nightfall, the child was never born.
When he finally heard that a eunuch was coming, Yan Yunkai also had a smile on his face, and the child he raised with his own hands also had a child of his own.
But the eunuch brought not good news.
"The Empress Dowager's delivery was not smooth. The high court judged and Yu Yuxue said that Mr. Zhao had a method of caesarean section. The Empress Dowager asked Mr. Zhao to enter the palace to save the Empress Dowager."
Many people in the capital knew about Zhao Ji's caesarean section on Fan Xian'er.However, when all kinds of surgical operations have become common, no one in the capital is willing to try a caesarean section.
Unexpectedly, the royal family was willing to set such a precedent.Zhao Ji felt that since then, caesarean section surgery has been promoted.
Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, he would see the emperor and the queen mother first. The emperor wanted Zhao Ji to rescue the queen immediately, but the queen mother wanted Zhao Ji to give the female doctors in the palace the operation method, and then let them give it to them. The queen has surgery.
Isn't this a joke.
Zhao Ji's heart immediately turned cold.
Yan Yunjing wanted to argue with the Queen Mother, but heard Yan Yunkai, who came with Zhao Ji, say, "Let Xu'er bring a few ladies in clothes to perform surgery on the Queen."
Jiang Xu went out with Zhao Ji last year and gained a lot of experience in treating diseases.Especially when I helped in the clinic in Yazhou later, knowing that their mentor and apprentice could cure dystocia, many people came to ask for help.Yazhou has been a place of alienation since ancient times, and it doesn't matter whether Zhao Ji is a male doctor or not, it's more important to save his life.
To some extent, Jiang Xu is also experienced.
After Yan Yunkai put forward his suggestion, he quickly took Zhao Ji's hand, squeezed it, and calmed down his irritable mood.
During the time when Jiang Xu was brought into the palace, Zhao Ji went to inject anesthetics into the queen's spine.
After Jiang Xu was taken into the palace, he looked at Zhao Ji helplessly, and the little girl finally became a little scared.
Zhao Ji had no choice but to pat her head and encouraged, "Be calm, what you want to save is a patient, a life, and you know what to do."
"Hmm..." Looking at Jiang Xu's back, Zhao Ji felt that she seemed to have grown a lot.
The queen gave birth to a son and a daughter by caesarean section, which turned out to be twins.Now the hospital is about to die, and the pulse of the twins can't be read out.Fortunately, the mother and child are all safe. The queen mother said that she would do good to the little prince and princess, so they were not punished. Instead, they were all fined for one year.
But the imperial physicians were also wronged. The pulse of the fetus was already weak. Among them, the eldest prince was born at six catties and two taels, while the eldest princess was less than three catties. This strong and weak one deceived all the imperial physicians.
It was not until April that the fleet led by Zhao Ji and Yan Yunkai set off from Yazhou Port.
Now there are only the two of them, and it is unknown whether they will face the storm or the new land in the future, anyway, it will be the two of them facing it together.
