In the early morning, with a loud whistle, the whole city of Qingzhou was boiling.

After two years of construction, the railway line from Dayu Kingdom to Laiwu in the south, Kaiping in the north, and Dengzhou in the east was officially opened.

All the people who learned about this news were happy and went to the station to buy tickets, which surrounded the entire station.

Xiao Ming and a group of officials also arrived at the scene, and Brandon was also here.

After staying in Qingzhou for a month, Brandon has basically completed the procurement of supplies. This time, there were a total of 75 Dutch merchant ships heading to the Great Yu Kingdom, all of which were filled with cargo.

"This time, the Dutch mission purchased a total of 100 reciprocating steam engines, 16,000 muskets of encroachment, 70 pieces of white sugar, 3,000 pieces of porcelain, 9,000 pieces of silk, and 20,000 pieces of cotton... "On the platform, Li Kaiyuan read the purchase list of the Netherlands to Xiao Ming.

"To be honest, how much is the total amount of money." Xiao Ming's eyes kept staying at the crowded station.

"The purchase of Jinlong totaled six million." Li Kaiyuan smiled so hard that he couldn't see the eyes. This amount was quite large.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. With the loan obtained from the Netherlands, the finances of the Great Yu Kingdom have finally become rich, especially the sale of Zhenglu muskets has basically reached the same cost as the breech rifle.

In this way, his army could successfully install 16,000 envoy muskets from this transaction, which did not include the transaction with Li Chuyuan.

"Martial arts and industrial products are really profitable!" Xiao Ming sighed. He finally understood why contemporary America is keen on making money in wars, which is indeed addictive.

Brandon smiled on the side, and he could see that the visit made the Emperor of the Great Chongqing Kingdom very satisfied.

"Brenden's envoy hopes that the friendship between the Great Chongqing Kingdom and the Netherlands will last forever," said Xiao Ming.

Brandon was a little flattered, "Of course, of course, this is what we are looking forward to."

While the three of them were talking, the steam locomotive made another loud whistle. At this time, people holding the tickets and lined up in a long queue began to get on the bus in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get on the car." Princess Pingyang reminded.

Xiao Ming nodded and made a gesture to Brandon. Braden looked excited. He sorted out his dress and walked towards the motorcycle.

"Father, go quickly, go quickly!"

Xiao Yi jumped in front of him, looking impatient. In order to witness this great incident, Xiao Ming brought a lot of people this time, Luluo and Ziyuan, Cui Xueer and Fei Yueer. Of course, the young Xiao Yi is indispensable.

In addition, all the important officials of the court arrived, including Fiji, Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang, and even the Confucius father and son, Ge Yiren and others.

Not only that, King Yong, King Huainan, King Runan and others also came to observe.

For Xiao Ming, this is not only the opening of the railway, but also an opportunity to show his muscles to the outside world.

"Slow, slower." Xiao Ming held Xiao Yi's hand and said to Princess Pingyang while walking: "The key task under the Railway Department is to connect the railway lines north of Youzhou, Jinzhou, Raozhou and Liaozhou. Although the barbarians withdrew from Guandong, their threat is still very great."

For Xiao Ming, even if he lost Guandong, the barbarians were the largest nomadic people in the north, and the threat was only relatively reduced, not absolute.

Moreover, a more dangerous enemy after the barbarians had already taken root in the vast land north of Jianzhou, and this was Tsarist Russia.

In the past, due to the barriers of barbarians, he could not understand the situation north of Jianzhou. After occupying Jianzhou, he immediately ordered an advance team to search north.

The news that was sent back shocked him. Compared with the contemporary era, Tsarist Russia in this era had more infiltration into Kanto than in the contemporary era. They discovered the Tsarist Russian city after leaving three hundred miles north of Jianzhou.

This incident attracted the high attention of Xiao Ming. He ordered the Secret Guards to investigate the influence of Tsarist Russia in Siberia and began to plan to regain Siberian land, and railways were undoubtedly the key to this plan.

"Yes, the emperor." Princess Pingyang saw from Xiao Ming's serious expression that the matter seemed to be a little serious.

Remind Princess Pingyang that Xiao Ming entered the steam engine locomotive. For today's experience, they reserved the first five carriages.

Entering the steam locomotive, Xiao Ming seemed to return to the present. Although the steam locomotive was a little backward, many of the layouts of the carriages were still no different from those of modern times.

After all, it would be much easier to use modern experience to run a steam locomotive.

"Your Majesty, this is the seat." Princess Pingyang personally introduced to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming looked at it and now the seats of the motorcycle are made of metal frames, with brand new cotton cushions installed on the frames, which look similar to those of contemporary train seats.

There is a small table in the middle of the seat, so that some items can be placed, and there are protruding luggage racks on it, which is also designed in accordance with the contemporary design.

What satisfied Xiao Ming the most was the thickened glass window of the motorcycle, where you can enjoy the view outside while sitting on the table.

"Very good." Xiao Ming was very satisfied.

Princess Pingyang breathed a light sigh and arranged for Fei Yueer and others to sit down. She said: "Prince, this steam engine locomotive is equipped with an improved high-temperature and high-pressure steam engine, which can reach 90 kilometers per hour and a load of about 60 kilometers. Therefore, it only takes six hours to get from Qingzhou to Dengzhou. After all, the railway has taken many detours, and coal and water are required to be added along the way."

"You can get to Dengzhou in six hours!" Brandon's mouth was so surprised that it took him three days to get off the ship in Dengzhou and then go to Qingzhou.

Princess Pingyang said proudly: "I have never spoken loudly, and you will understand when you arrive in Dengzhou."

"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming was in a good mood. He hugged Xiao Yi and said, "Yi'er, when you arrive in Dengzhou, your father will take you to eat the most beautiful seafood."

The officials in the carriage all laughed when they heard this. At this moment, they were all so excited because it was really incredible.

While everyone was chatting, the time for the motorcycle to set off was up. With a loud whistle, the motorcycle began to move forward slowly.

"The motivation is moving." Xiao Yi clapped his hands happily.

Outside the window, the station was retreating, and huge cheers rang out on the platform where people and seas were kind.

Xiao Ming, who was sitting by the window, was recognized by the people, and they began to shout: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xiao Ming waved through the car window. Undoubtedly, today was also an exciting day for the people of Qingzhou. The sleeping lion of the Great Yu Kingdom finally began to wake up.

Amid the cheers, the motorcycle was getting faster and faster. At this time, the carriage became quieter and everyone began to enjoy the scenery along the way and became addicted to it.
Chapter completed!
