Looking at the tall Kaifeng city gate, Du Zhongxiao let out a sigh and said to Tao Shiqi beside him: "I will enter the city later, and I will go and find an inn to stay in. You can rest, I will visit some old friends."

Tao Shiqi looked at the sun that was about to set in the west and said with his hands: "Officials, it's not too early, so it's better to rest early, and it's not too late to visit guests tomorrow. We are the first time we have been here in the capital, so it's better to be careful."

Du Zhongxiao looked at the sun, thought for a while and said, "Okay, that's it, let's go to Daxiangguo Temple."

When the lights were on, Du Zhongxiao took Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang to the street outside. Chen Qin was pestered by Lu Saisai and wanted to see the prosperous capital. He didn't know where he went early.

Looking at the crowds, Shisanlang praised: "It is indeed the most prosperous place in the world. It is not only a lot of people but also a lot of people selling things. Look at the clothes of these people, their complexion, and their expressions, they are all things that you can't see anywhere else. Oh, it's really worthy of being the capital!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "It's good that you know. It's okay during the day, just wander around in lively places. Don't wander around. As soon as you speak, people will hear that you are a foreigner, so be careful to be cheated."

The three of them walked around the Bian River and felt a little tired, so they found a wine shop and sat and drank.

Du Zhongxiao came to the capital for the second time, and everything around him was still the same as before, but his mood had already changed. Last time he lived here, in order to prepare for the imperial examination, he was so tired that he was so tired that he could not enjoy the scenery. Later, he passed the Jinshi and celebrated with the same year every day. He didn't have time to take a look at this world's most prosperous place. This time he revisited the old place and relaxed his mood, which was naturally different from before.

Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang were drinking and evaluating the surrounding architectural scenery. The pedestrians on the road enjoyed it.

It was not until the night was dim that Du Zhongxiao took the two away.

Standing up, Shisanlang said, "It's a pity that the wine tastes a little light. If the wine has more strength, it will be very good tonight."

Tao Shiqi said: "When we live in the capital, we will sell wine. The wine in Yongcheng is here, and it will definitely be easy to sell!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and didn't say anything. There had been terrible liquor in the capital, but the taste was always bad, and the wine shops only sold less.

When I returned to the inn, I saw someone standing outside. When I saw Du Zhongxiao coming back, I hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The official is back, and the young man is anxious to wait here. My official will set up a banquet by the Bian River outside the city tomorrow to welcome the official, and I hope the official will be condescending."

Seeing that it was Han Jiang's family, Du Zhongxiao hurriedly bowed: "I must have arrived early after I got down, so I'm sorry to come and tell me."

After saying that, he invited the man to come in and drink a cup of tea, but he refused to leave quickly.

Han Jiang was the former president of the General Secretary of Chenzhou. He recruited the Bachelor's College and entered the Pavilion for the Pavilion for the Pavilion. He also served as the Tongzhi Taichang Liyuan. He first arrived in the capital. He grew up in the capital since he was a child. He heard that Du Zhongxiao entered the capital, so he hurriedly sent his family to invite him.

Han Jiang, a Jinshi in the second year of Qingli, is now the highest official position. Before he became a Jinshi, he had been an official for many years. He was a general judge and entered the Guange, a place for talent cultivation. His future is limitless. Not to mention Du Zhongxiao, there have been few Jinshis who have been promoted as fast as he has been.

When they returned to the inn, Shisanlang and Tao Shiqi were so excited that they couldn't sleep. They gathered together to discuss interesting things they encountered on the road. Du Zhongxiao lay on the bed, thinking that he would meet the Saint's resignation this time and what should he say.

The emperor did not meet him as soon as he wanted to meet him, but he had to schedule a row of orders. Before Du Zhongxiao entered the city, he had already notified his date of arrival in Beijing. The emperor himself also attached great importance to this young Jinshi with outstanding political achievements and gave priority to the order, ranking five days later.

Du Zhongxiao wanted to laugh when he remembered the expression of the eunuch who informed him of the date of entering the palace. In the eyes of the eunuch, it was a great thing to be received by the emperor in five days after entering the capital. To thank him, Du Zhongxiao also gave him a ingot of silver. But in Du Zhongxiao's opinion, he had to wait for five days after notifying him in advance, which shows how difficult it is to see the emperor.

When officials came to Beijing, they just went through the procedures and dealt with each other's yamen, it would last for a long time. Du Zhongxiao did not need to be in trouble, but the procedures they should be handled must not be missed. The official complaints were to be changed, and the official uniforms and other messy things could not be completed within half a month.

Listening to Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang next door, Du Zhongxiao was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep for a while. This time, when facing the saint, the monarch and ministers answered their future in a very important way, and they had to be carefully considered. Du Zhongxiao didn't know what the emperor would ask him, and it was difficult to guess. He could only try to collect all kinds of taboos and should not say anything at that time.

The Qingli New Policy that just passed cannot be mentioned. The reform started with a huge momentum and soon ended without success. There is nothing to say. The Party in the northwest cannot be discussed. There is still a debate with the war, but the overall situation has been decided, so there is no need to mention it again. This is a taboo. Du Zhongxiao was not clear about the various interests involved in the future and dared not participate rashly. It is best to talk more about how he governed the place, how to reclaim wasteland, and all households and people.

The nights in Tokyo are no different from those in other places, and Du Zhongxiao finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Du Zhongxiao asked Shisanlang to go outside to buy some goods, and brought Tao Shiqi himself and all the way outside Xinsong Gate.

As soon as he left the city gate, he heard a dull "sudden, sudden" sound. Du Zhongxiao's heart moved and immediately realized that it was the sound of a steam engine. Did Han Jiang bring the Chenzhou-made car and ship into the capital? The Cai River in Chenzhou is connected to the capital, so it is not difficult to drive here.

Han Jiang had already sent his family to wait at the city gate. When he saw Du Zhongxiao and the others, he hurried forward to salute.

After arriving at the restaurant by the Bian River, Han Jiang had already brought several young officials from the museum to wait there. When he arrived at the second floor, the guest and guest of Xuli sat down. Han Jiang pointed out the window and said to Du Zhongxiao, "When you are ready, let's see what that is?"

Du Zhongxiao arrived in front of the window and looked up and saw wooden vehicles and ships on the Bian River, with black smoke rising from it, slowly moving.

After looking at the car and ship, Du Zhongxiao said happily: "I didn't expect this car and ship to be really made!"

Han Jiang laughed: "I have been in Chenzhou for three years. With your help, I built this boat and could run on the river. This time I returned to Beijing, I took this boat and drove along the Cai River. A few days ago, the emperor watched the boat and felt that this thing had great potential. I asked me to build a new boat and put it on the Jinmingchi Lake."

Du Zhongxiao lay in front of the window and looked at the cars and boats moving in the river, feeling excited. Over the years, he has spent countless efforts on the steam engine, but it has not been practical, which has become a heart-wrenching problem. Sometimes he even wondered whether he could make a practical steam engine in his lifetime. Until today, he saw the steam truck on the river and put down his heart. As long as he was in time, the steam engine would definitely be perfected. With the steam truck running on the river, others would only receive various support when they saw the benefits.

Turning around, Du Zhongxiao sat down and said to Han Jiang, "I don't know if the cars and ships are easy to use now."
