▍Everything is so good! 【End】【Random drop outside the episode】

Time moves forward, and it will be the Spring Festival in a blink of an eye.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but the imperial city is located in the south, no matter how cold it is, it is much warmer than the north.

There are still many pedestrians on the street, but most of them are carrying baskets and carrying burdens, all of them are beaming, and there is an endless stream of customers at the door of each shop. Most of the people who go in empty-handed come out with big bags and small bags.

The hustle and bustle of December has already left the imperial city. Those merchants from all over the Northern Jin Dynasty who came to the imperial city for cement and glass, some returned with full rewards, and some lamented frustrated.

Meng Yining and the two stayed in the imperial city for the New Year this year, and Manager He sent people to send money and some food, such as sausages, sausages, vermicelli, starch, salted fish, mountain products, etc., several carts.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze shared several shares as usual, one was sent to the palace, one was sent to General Yuchi's mansion to the old lady, and one was sent to Nanwang's mansion.

In the end, it was heard that the Nanwang Mansion was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother. This year, the Nanwang did not come back to the imperial city. Hearing that there was some imminent movement from the alien race in the grassland, the Nanwang stayed at the border.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is another year of Lantern Festival.

The entire imperial city is covered with all kinds of lamps.

The amusement park is even more decorated with lights and festoons. It is overcrowded and even more lively than the New Year's Eve.

There are children's laughter everywhere.

It was also rare for Meng Yining and the two to squeeze into crowded places at such a lively time, to join in the fun.

The amusement park prepared a lot of small gifts today, and Meng Yining also asked people to distribute money for the festival to the elderly and children in the orphanage for the elderly, letting them come out to play by themselves, and buy whatever they wanted.The children in the orphanage even got tickets to the amusement park, including tickets for the rides inside. If they want to come to the amusement park, they only need to queue up.

Several food courts and department stores in the imperial city are also offering discounts from the day of the Spring Festival until today. Originally, the food courts and department stores were going to have the Spring Festival holiday.But when they were asked whether they wanted double wages or holidays, most of them chose double wages.

Meng Yining sighed that everyone knows the importance of money.

After the lively Lantern Festival, everyone is back on track.

Meng Yining also has something to do here. He discussed with Xia Wenze about setting up an orphanage and a nursing home along the railway. He Fangliang knew their plan early on, and had already trained a few stewards.

Meng Yining entrusted this matter to He Fangliang, and asked him to take a few stewards he had trained to do it. After all, it would be impossible for him to complete the two-way journey alone, and it would take too much time. It's time.

The nursing home and orphanage in the imperial city were completed by He Fangliang with a few stewards. He was familiar with all the rules and regulations. After a few people did it a few times, they could be divided into two teams and go to the southern border and the border respectively.

Xia Wenze looked at He Fangliang and explained to him the things to pay attention to, "At that time, you will take people to the border gate, and the border gate still needs to build an amusement park, a food city, etc. Of course, if you have plans along the way, you can also write Come down, we will discuss again at that time. In the direction of Nanjiang, you can let Ma Guanshi and them go. They are only responsible for the construction of orphanages and nursing homes. It is relatively easier for them. If anything happens, take the token I gave you take it out."

He Fangliang wrote it down seriously, "I know the young master."

"Okay, nothing else, you go."

"Yes."

Xia Wenze clicked on a few pieces of paper on the desk. These are the things he and Ninger wrote to do in the next year or two, such as opening an orphanage and a nursing home, which are the most basic. He gave He Fangliang two years to do this.

There are also steam engines, electricity, these will start after the railway is laid.

Speaking of the railway, after the Lantern Festival, Emperor Mingyou had already sent people to act.

Ordinary people are paid 40 yuan a day to build railways, not including food, but there is enough hot and cold water. If it is summer, there will be frozen mung bean soup. If someone is injured due to work during the construction of the railway, the medical expenses can be fully paid to reimburse.

For those who commit crimes, they don’t get such good treatment. If they can’t pay the fine, that is, the prison term plus the amount of the fine is counted as the construction period. Except for food and drink, they don’t have a penny of wages.

If the fine is paid, the construction period shall be calculated according to the sentence.

Some people are okay, especially those petty thieves. Although they haven't done this kind of hard work, they came from the bottom after all.But those dudes can be miserable.

He grew up in rich clothes and well-fed food, not to mention doing hard work, and I'm afraid he didn't even wipe the table. Now, many people cried for their parents and mothers, and regretted it in their hearts.

But it was too late to regret it, the construction period was not completed, even if the father was a relative of the emperor, he had to finish the work before leaving.

This makes the ordinary people in every section very happy. People who are usually high above them are even more pitiful than them. How can they say that they still have wages every day, and they will send them some delicious food at home.

What about these nobles who they had to respect and fear in the past?You work a lot, you don't get paid, you still eat big pots of rice, you don't see much oil and water, and if you don't do well, you will be fined for the construction period, which is terrible.

Gee.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze went to see it a few times, but they didn't have any sympathy for these people, but they were a little funny seeing the expressions of ordinary people.

After the railway started to be built, the number of beggars in various towns decreased a lot. I heard that they all went to repair the railway. They also got wages to get paid. There were three big steamed buns every day, and one steamed bun was as big as an adult bun. Enough to fill one person.

Occasionally, ladies from various towns bring big fish and meat to distribute to improve the food for railway repairers.

Everything is going well.

As the railway was gradually built from the imperial city to the border and southern Xinjiang, homes for the elderly and orphanages were built, and corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were planted throughout the Northern Jin Dynasty and even on land in other countries.

Meng Yining obviously felt that his ability was upgraded faster. According to this upgrade speed, he might not be able to upgrade his ability to level ten until the railway was repaired.

And he further discovered that if he did something that was good for the Northern Jin Dynasty, or even for the world, the speed of upgrading his abilities would be accelerated.

In golden autumn and October, there are abundant harvest scenes everywhere.

And the construction of the railway has reached the final stage.

Proof once again that unity is strength.

The people of the entire Northern Jin Dynasty took action, and the railways leading to the north and south were completed in less than a year.

The first train on the side of the Ministry of Industry has already been completed, just waiting for the railway to be laid.

On October [-]th, the weather was fine, the sun shone warmly on people, and the autumn wind was blowing.

The railway station two miles outside the imperial city was crowded with people, and there were people watching the excitement everywhere.

Emperor Mingyou was dressed in simple ordinary clothes, standing beside him were four elders who also wore ordinary clothes, followed by other court officials, including Meng Yining and Xia Wenze.

Today is the day when the train starts running. Emperor Mingyou invited Meng Yining and Xia Wenze to come and participate.

Many people in the imperial city who knew about it also ran over to join in the fun.

On the rails, a train made of iron sheets and wood was parked steadily on the rails.

Although it was only iron gray and not as good-looking as the trains in this world, people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Whether it was Emperor Mingyou, the court officials, or the common people who participated in the construction of the railway, or even those dudes, all of them stopped their eyes on the train.

In particular, Wei Shilang, who had done his best to facilitate this matter, had red eyes, his face was full of excitement, and his eyes were shining with light, "Your Majesty, it's auspicious time." Wei Shilang looked at the sun and reminded him in a trembling voice. Emperor Mingyou by his side.

Although Emperor Mingyou's expression was indifferent, if you look closely at his eyes, you can find the light hidden inside. "Everyone, come up with me."

The train plus the locomotive has a total of thirteen cars and twelve cars, three of which are sleeping berths, one is a canteen, one is a container, and the remaining seven are ordinary seats.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze also contributed a lot to the completion of this train, because it was made of energy boxes and energy lines, etc., and Wei Shilang would ask them if they encountered any problems, and then they would go Ask the star world, just like that, the first train in the Northern Jin Dynasty, or the energy train, was made.

It can be said that the production time of this train has been longer than that of the railway.

If it were not for the participation of Meng Yining and Xia Wenze, the production time would have to be pushed back.

Those who were lucky enough to board the train today were all high officials of the imperial court, and everyone boarded the train in an orderly manner following Emperor Ming You with excitement.

There are six sleeper berths on the train. Because this world is not as open as this world, there are three sleeper berths divided into men and women. One is only sold to female relatives and brother-in-law, and the other two are only sold to men.

There is no such distinction in ordinary carriages.

Emperor Mingyou and his party entered the sleeper car first, but they only came in for a visit first, then went to sit in the ordinary car, and came back after arriving at the next town.

The sleeper beds are all 90 centimeters long, which is wider than the current soft sleeper beds.The quilts are all pure cotton, and the quilts and curtains are all dark blue.

Ordinary seats are all in pairs. There are no three seats. The aisle is relatively wide and does not look crowded. The seats are also made of cotton, which is moderately soft and hard. Even if you sit for a long time, it will not be too uncomfortable.

All in all, it's quite satisfying.

Amidst the sound of the whistle, the train started slowly, and after a tremor, the scenery outside the glass window slowly moved back.

The court officials in the carriage were a little apprehensive at first, but when the train really started to move forward, especially when they didn’t feel the bumps like a carriage at all, everyone couldn’t help but cheered, completely gone. majesty.

Even Emperor Mingyou, in such an atmosphere, looked agitated, and raised the arc of his mouth again and again.

The one who was most excited was Wei Shilang. The whole person was in tears at the moment, woo woo woo, that's great, it's really as he imagined, it's really great.

And Meng Yining and Xia Wenze were also smiling in such an atmosphere.

Looking at the scenery moving backwards outside the window, Meng Yining was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

A beam of sunlight came in from the window and fell on his face. The years were quiet, and with a ding dong, Meng Yining recovered from the joy of upgrading his powers. His second brother sent him a message on the plane trader .

Meng Yining clicked on the plane trader, and when he saw the message his second brother left him, he was stunned.

Xia Wenze noticed his strangeness and asked, "Ning'er?"

Meng Yining turned to Xia Wenze, and then threw himself into Xia Wenze's arms regardless of the people in the carriage, "Brother Aze, my second brother said, it's done."

Xia Wenze didn't understand it at first, he hugged Meng Yining amidst the teasing of Emperor Mingyou and others, and then he understood, he was also stunned.

Done?Is that what he meant?

Xia Wenze picked up Meng Yining and walked to another unoccupied carriage, feeling agitated, "Ning'er, is the supernatural ability artificially activated?"

"Yeah." Meng Yining couldn't be happier. The success rate of artificially stimulating supernatural powers was too low at the beginning. He never dared to let brother Aze try, and his second brother and the others didn't suggest it. They just kept waiting. Bian is also working hard to continue researching, until today, his second brother sent him a message that the ability to artificially stimulate the ability can finally be 100%.

Meng Yining didn't expect that in such a day, not only his ability had been promoted to level ten, but the man-made ability he had been waiting for would also get the most wanted news today.

Xia Wenze hugged Meng Yining tightly when he heard the words, his expression lost his usual gentleness and indifference, he could finally be with Ning'er all the time.

The two hugged each other, quietly feeling each other's heartbeat, the sun shone on them through the car window, everything was so good.
