Diao Dehong was a native of Qin in the past and had good stonemasonry skills. He was one of the first Qin people to be sold to Taoyuan. As a craftsman, his family was quite valuable at the time. When life was as good as grass, his family was worth six, each of which was worth ten taels. You should know that when the Qin people fled at that time, they were willing to follow him as long as they gave him a bite of food. His family was considered a sky-high price.

Diao Dehong originally thought that after coming to Ming Dynasty, he would become a servant of a wealthy family, but at that time he didn't care at all. Life and death matters were the biggest. As long as he could survive, what could he not bear?

But he never expected that after arriving in Taoyuan County, they would have divided a house and dozens of acres of land. Although it was just a simple thatched house and the land that had been abandoned for a long time, he still thought he was dreaming. Not only did they not become someone else's private property, they owned their own house and their own land.

The officials showed them their loan list. He only woke up when the land certificate covered with the red seal of the government was stuffed into his hands. He never expected that the journey of suffering that he thought would be a great fortune. This was a fall from a coptis jar to a honey jar.

Over the past ten years, the thatched huts of that year have turned into three-room large tiled houses. Not far from home, they have built the same big houses for their eldest son and second son. They have already started a family and started a career. What makes him even more proud is the third son and the youngest son. When they came here, they were still very young. When the government forced them to go to school, they were still very resistant. After all, although one of them was only ten years old and the other was only eight years old at that time, as a boy, they were considered a tough labor force.

However, the government government, which seems easy to talk, has no room for forced payment on some things. It either sends the child to school or pays heavy fees. Compared with the two, what else can I say? In addition, the child does not need to pay and manage the meal when going to school, so there is nothing to say.

But now, Diao Dehong is extremely grateful to the old official who slapped the table and scolded him, because he had never been to Diao's family, which had been a stonemason for generations, and he actually had the talent for studying.

The third brother was too late to enter the school, but he still got into the county school of Taoyuan County. He is now an official in the county, and his youngest son is even more promising. He was admitted to the Beijing University of Ming Dynasty. This is amazing. In that class, the entire Taoyuan County passed his own son. When the news came out, the county magistrate Ben wrote a letter to congratulate him.

Compared with the achievements of the third and fourth brothers, the eldest and second brothers are much worse. Now they can only be a farmer at home. Fortunately, they all have the best skills of a stonemason and live a much better life than ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, if you have a skill, you can naturally make more money. The Diao family is now a well-known big player in this area.

Now Diao Dehong has a prosperous family business and his sons are successful in their careers. He doesn't have to work so hard anymore. The hard life in Qin in his early years left too many hidden dangers on his body. Now it is no longer the same as before. The stonemason can no longer do the job, so he can only move his mouth and point his disciples.

However, Diao Dehong, who has been working for his whole life, is unable to rest. He does not do heavy physical work anymore, and is still capable of other tasks. Now he is carrying a small hammer with a gong hanging around his waist, and patrolling along the railway with an angry wind lamp. He picks up the small hammer and hits the rails from time to time. He has been working for almost two years and is already an experienced veteran. By the sound of the hammer hitting the rails, he can tell whether there are any problems with the rails there.

He was responsible for the tracks that were ten miles away.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty built this railway that Diao Dehong discovered that when they moved here, the villages that had been built were planned with purpose, because after the railway was completed, all the villages were within a few miles on both sides of the railway.

In the words of the governor of Ben County, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. However, the youngest son who came home during the Chinese New Year last year told himself that this was said by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor is too far from Diao Dehong. He is not more grateful to the county magistrate Ben Kuan of Taoyuan County. He is a good official.

Since this road, the life of the eldest son and the second son has become more and more prosperous. Their stone sculptures have now been sold to Wuling, Shayang and other places far away. If there was no such railway, it would be really difficult to transport these heavy stone sculptures.

So, patrolling this railway is also to protect the sons' continuous ways to make money.

Diao Dehong, who is already old, is content to be able to use his remaining energy.

The railway is really a magical thing. At the beginning, Diao Dehong watched dozens of horses pulling such a long carriage and galloping on it. At the beginning of this year, the horses pulling the carriage disappeared, and it was replaced by an iron box that would whimper and smoke. There were more cars dragged and faster.

Diao Dehong couldn't figure out what this is, but he just needed to know that it could bring more benefits to their family.

Anyway, after the Ming Dynasty, he would be a little uncomfortable if he didn't come up with this novel thing every year, and many things completely subverted his cognition.

Look, over the past few days, many people in uniform have come to plant poles as thick as bowls along the railway, and then pull them on the poles. This thing just follows the railway and moves forward all the way.

I heard that this thing is called wired telegraph.

Diao Deyi naturally didn't know what the telegram was, but since it was something made by the government, it was naturally good. The task he received now was not only to check the railway tracks within the ten-mile range, but also to take care of these poles and lines. If a problem is found, he must report it immediately.

Since the first snowfall, the superiors have asked to patrol every day, especially at night, and they have taken great attention because something has happened.

The bad things in Qi State were too shameful to see the people of the Ming Dynasty living well. Not long ago, some people of Qi State secretly ran to the Ming Dynasty, destroyed a section of railway tracks, and caused a train that was speeding at high speed to derail and overturn. It was a train for transporting people.

Diao Dehong heard from his eldest son that this time he lost his car, hundreds of people died!

It was precisely because of this incident that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty angrily issued an order to start a war against Qi, and now the two countries are about to fight.

Diao Dehong thought the emperor did it too well, it was like his own family. If his son was beaten up and he could not stand up for his son, how could he have the face to be like this?

Of course, it is to take revenge.

When the two countries were doing well, the bad people from Qi came to sabotage. Now that the two families fought, they would definitely not give up and would definitely come to sabotage. Therefore, Diao Dehong became more concerned about his job. It was not for the generous salary, but for the responsibility on his shoulders. He dared not let the Qi people destroy the railway tracks.

The weather was very cold, with snow particles falling on the covered straw raincoat. Diao Dehong knocked on the railroad tracks while walking. In the night, a circle of light yellow halos appeared and disappeared from time to time. A lonely figure gradually disappeared in the darkness with the sound of banging bangs.

In Taoyuan County, Wu Zhengting was very busy.

I don’t know how many spies the Qi people sent. In the entire Wuling War Zone, smoke of gunpowders was everywhere, attacking and assassinating officials, attempting to destroy warehouses, schools, etc. The Qi people had only one purpose, which was to cause chaos in the Wuling War Zone. The most successful thing they did was to destroy a section of railways. The people who did this were extremely cleverly mastered the time, causing a passenger train to derail and overturn without any precautions, and hundreds of casualties were killed or killed.

For this matter, all over the Wuling War Zone were severely criticized by the Zhengshi Hall and the Emperor, and this incident became the fuse for the Ming Dynasty to declare war on Qi.

After tearing the face apart, the battle between the two sides in this regard became even more intense. Wu Zhengting’s current daily work is to arrest these people.

So far, Wu Zhengting felt that the situation was still under control. The people's war that Your Majesty mentioned was fully played in this incident, and a large number of people spontaneously devoted themselves to the activity of defending the railway. Otherwise, such a long line would be impossible to do without any leakage with the power of Wu Zhengting and the power of the Ministry of Railways.

It was also the joining of the general public that the railway had only happened to one incident and was safe and sound, and many people who tried to destroy the railway were caught.

Wu Zhengting was too lazy to see these people at all and too lazy to try them. After being arrested, he ordered Ming Zhengdian to be sentenced. These people were all suicide squads selected by Qi from the army of Changning County, and they had no value for interrogation.

"Director Wu, the Supervision Department has come to another official letter." A national security official pushed open the door and walked in, putting the official letter in front of Wu Zhengting: "We are not allowed to kill those caught anymore. We say that we are abuse of lynching."

Wu Zhengting sneered: "When will the guys from the Supervision Department be able to take charge of our National Security Bureau?"

"The director, it's not that they can't control us, but they didn't like to care about our affairs before. If they caught this matter, they would naturally be unreasonable. In my opinion, let's forget it. The people they were caught should be locked up first and then handed over to the Dali Temple."

Wu Zhengting said angrily: "I used to be a family. I've divided the family and bite us, it's even more than biting others. What's so damn war. Can you be merciful?"
