No wonder they were both shocked, because the Tianjin City they saw at this time was endless, all of them were houses, but there were no walls.

In fact, the point of Catherine's question was not to hide 5,000 people, but why is Tianjin City so big that it is beyond their imagination?

Not only that, there are also traffic and people coming and going, but it is orderly and even the ground is very clean. At least the streets they see are very clean. Computer::/

Before coming to the Far East, Catherine had read "The Travels of Marco Polo" and also looked up other information. She found that they all praised the cleanliness and prosperity of the Eastern Empire. She had never been there and was a little unbelievable. At this moment, it was beyond her imagination and was naturally stunned.

Catherine recalled Europe. Even the port of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, was not to mention garbage everywhere, but there were also quite a few. She could also see the debris in the port, and she could occasionally see vomit mixed with sailors after getting drunk; she even had shit and urine. It was left by someone at the port when others were not paying attention or in the night. She could smell shit and urine in the air.

This was after the European Renaissance. If it were in the Middle Ages, it would have been full of shit and urine.

However, the Tianjin city in front of you can tell that it is larger than Lisbon and has more residents, but why is it so orderly and clean?

"I am the right young minister of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Yizhi, and I have seen Princess Catherine, Princess Folangji!" Just as they were in a daze, a group of Ming officials came over, the leader, young but at a glance, was very knowledgeable, and greeted them with neither arrogant nor humility.

After saying hello, Anders came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to greet and communicate. At the end, he asked Fang Yizhi: "Mr. Fang, our princess has just arrived in your country and is very interested. Now it's just afternoon. Why not take a look at the customs and culture of Tianjin before going to the inn to rest?"

Fang Yizhi was a little surprised when he heard this, and then replied: "If your princess wants to go shopping, just go directly to the capital. Could it be that your princess is tired and has to rest in Tianjin?"

While talking, he was a little confused. If he was really too tired, he wouldn't ask to go to Tianjin City after getting off the boat, right?

Hearing his words, Anders was stunned. He looked at Catherine, thought for a while, but there was no translation, and he directly made a message: "Mr. Fang meant that he was going directly to the capital and going to rush to the road overnight? Although His Royal Highness the Princess was not very tired, it would be a bit bad if he was rushing to the road overnight?"

Seeing that Fang Yizhi seemed a little dissatisfied, Anders added: "Our ship was gifted to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, a whole boat. Just unloading the goods and loading them onto the car, it would probably be dark. Is it necessary to rush on the road?"

Hearing this, Fang Yizhi finally came to his senses and smiled slightly and said, "I forgot that His Royal Highness the Princess just came from the Folang machine. We took the train back to the capital. We will have a sleep and we will be able to arrive at the capital tomorrow. Compared to resting on the sea, it should be more comfortable except for a louder sound."

After hearing this, Anders couldn't help but blink, and he would be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow? He must have heard this wrongly! At least he had learned in advance that the itinerary of an ordinary carriage from Tianjin to the capital will take about three days.

Also, I just heard the word train again. What is this?

Just as he was about to understand, he suddenly saw Catherine looking at him without blinking, looking curious about the content of the conversation, so he had to press the doubts in his heart and said to Catherine: "This Ming official said that the capital of the country is more prosperous and fun. Therefore, it is recommended that we take a bus overnight, and tomorrow... it is not... it will be able to arrive in the capital in three days."

When Catherine heard this, she frowned and felt a little unhappy: Didn’t this Far East Empire be a country of etiquette? Is there anyone who treats guests like this?

Thinking of this, she said to Anders: "There is three days left, why do we still have to rush overnight? Is it necessary to be so anxious? This... is their Eastern hospitality method?"

After hesitating for a moment, she said the latter sentence.

Although before leaving, Joao IV repeatedly explained that the Ming Dynasty was the most powerful ally of Portugal, the future of Portugal depends largely on the meaning of the Emperor of the Ming Empire, so she must not offend her! But she still felt a little unhappy and didn't want to feel wronged from the beginning, otherwise she would have been bullied all the time!

Of course Anders knew the importance of it, but when he looked back, it seemed that this time it was a bit too much, so he thought about the words. The other party said, "Mr. Fang, it's three days away from the capital, so why bother to rush tonight? It's not too late to rest in Tianjin until tomorrow morning, right?"

"Three days?" Fang Yizhi heard this and questioned, then laughed loudly, but soon stopped laughing and said with a smile: "I have already said just now that I can leave today and arrive at the capital tomorrow morning. Where did three days come from?"

"Ah?" Anders was surprised when he heard this and quickly confirmed, "Can you arrive in one night? Isn't this possible? Even if you gallop on a horse, it's dark and lanterns this night, you can't run very fast! What's more, there are so many salutes!"

Fang Yizhi smiled silently when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Of course it was not a carriage or a horse, but a train to the capital. I had already explained it very clearly just now. It was a train special train, specially prepared for His Royal Highness the Princess."

Speaking of this, he paused and said again: "You haven't seen it before, so it's probably in vain if you say it. You'll know when you see it. I'll be ordered to pick you up and it's impossible for me to lie to you."

"..." Anders was speechless for a while: he traveled thousands of miles across the ocean, and he had seen too many things. What kind of train is your train, and it also has a car you have never seen before? No matter how powerful it is, how can you get there in three days?

However, the Ming officials said this, so he did not insist anymore. Anyway, he saw it in a while. So he turned around and said to Catherine: "Your Highness Princess, this master said that there is a special train for your Princess Princess, and you will be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow morning..."

When he said this, he remembered what Fang Yizhi had said before and added: "And it is more comfortable to sleep on this train at night than on the sea, except for the sound a little louder."

When Katherine heard this, she was immediately surprised. Curiosity made her nod. Mingguo really has such a powerful car? Then we have to see it quickly!

……………………

The Tianjin train station was naturally not too far from the dock. Catherine and her group got on the carriage and arrived at the train station soon after they were at the train station. Of course, the train passenger station was naturally under martial law.

Catherine got out of the carriage and was a little surprised to see the long iron can parked in front of her. She looked down and saw the red blanket on the ground extending to the iron can. The meaning was very clear, this was the so-called train.

With surprise in her eyes, she turned to look at Anders who had just arrived beside her, and asked curiously: "This is a train? Didn't you say that you can use an old almanac to transport it by boat? How can you transport such a long iron can?" : :

Anders was the first time to see him, so he was naturally confused. He knew that if he didn't know, he would make more jokes, so he had to ask Fang Yizhi next to him and said, "Sir Fang, is this a train?"

"It's a train!" Fang Yizhi smiled and nodded. He felt very comfortable in his heart about the rapid changes in the tomorrow and shocking these Western barbarians.

However, since the two sides had formed a brotherly country, he did not mean to continue to watch jokes, but he smiled and introduced to Anders, and at the same time, he introduced to Catherine: "This is the locomotive, the power of the entire train is. It is the heat energy generated by burning coal into kinetic energy, dragging the carriage behind to move forward together, so it is called a train, which is the guidance of the emperor and the prince is responsible for creating..."

His words were not fast, and it was obviously given Anders time to translate.

As Katherine listened to the introduction, she forgot about the princess's reserve in a strange place at some point. She didn't even notice that Cherry's mouth was slightly opened. She just kept looking at this thing called a train. I heard that the train could reach hundreds of miles in one night, and it felt a bit incredible under the premise of dragging so many cars.

After listening to the introduction, she got on the train without knowing it. She found that the train was decorated very luxuriously. If she hadn't seen it outside first and then opened her eyes suddenly, she would have thought she had arrived at some very noble and luxurious dining place.

Behind it is a sleeping carriage. It still feels the same. If you haven't seen the situation outside, you would think this is a house in the Paris Palace. Although it is a little shorter and narrower, you feel this way.

…………

After visiting the inside of the train, Catherine arrived outside again. When she reexamined the train, she still felt a little incredible when she remembered the interior layout.

At this moment, she saw the salute transported from the ship again, loading the carriage at the rear of the train, one after another, loading into the car, which made her a little worried, could the train be driven?

At this time, she already understood that Anders had never seen him, so she didn't ask him, but just admired the train she had never seen before.

It was almost evening when everything was packed. Fang Yizhi smiled and asked the guests to get on the bus, and then ordered them to leave.

Katherine felt novel in everything at this time, even if she heard the roar of the train and the smoke, she felt novel and fun. At this time, she was only thirteen years old and suddenly realized it.
