Chapter 242

Fu Wang and his son were talking to each other along the way, constantly cursing each other.

The soldiers who guarded them just looked at them with a smile, without any obstruction.

Trucks can only be used to transport necessary supplies, and naturally they will not be used to transport them.

Therefore, they can only walk to Chang'an.

Fortunately, this is Luoyang, and both father and son are supported by thick fat, so they are not afraid of anything.

If he was in other places, or his body was thin, he might have lost half his life before reaching Chang'an.

Almost all of Fu Wang's family property was brought back to Chang'an.

Their silver will be minted into silver coins and circulated in the market.

All kinds of property will be reused.

Because the period of entrustment is relatively short, most of the family property is basically at home, unlike other feudal kings who are scattered all over the place, which is difficult to deal with.

The heavy snow continued to fall, and they finally arrived in Chang'an half a month before the Chinese New Year.

Walking on the streets of Chang'an, their eyesight is not enough.

The wide concrete road spreads straight ahead.

Both sides of the road are full of people, and the red lanterns spread along the road to the distance.

There is a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and it smells full of New Year's flavor at this time.

The mental outlook of the people is very good, and the clothes on their bodies are basically all new.

There was hardly a beggar in sight, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Row upon row of small buildings on both sides of the street, neat and orderly, bright windows, like crystals, reflecting sunlight.

King Fu sighed again and again, looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, he thought he was in heaven.

Even the capital in memory is far inferior to the current Chang'an City.

"Could it be that the city of Chang'an in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty has returned?"

Fu Wang was stunned.

Zhu Yousong, the little fat man, walked behind Fu Wang Zhu Yousong, also looking so shocked that he couldn't extricate himself.

For the two of them, the prosperity and wealth of those years was very unbearable compared with the present.

There is a large black courtyard in the inner city, which is specially used to imprison the prince of Ming Dynasty.

These people will be transformed here, and then distributed to remote places, farming or grazing.

The glory and wealth are gone, but the life is saved.

Sun Jie has no interest in Fu Wang and his son, they are just a pair of trash.

The current Sun Jie is not in Chang'an City, but in a large field in the north.

The school grounds are very large, with a radius of more than ten miles, surrounded by walls.

The wall was five or six feet high, and it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.

In this wall, several black railways circle around the wall along the wall.

Sun Jie sat in the cab of a steam locomotive, carefully controlling it.

It is not difficult to control the steam locomotive, Sun Jie has done a lot of preparations before.

Most of them are mechanical things, so don't worry too much, or you can't figure out various electronic instruments.

Outside the steam locomotive, Sun Chuanting led a group of guards and kept chasing it.

His face was full of shock, and that feeling was like seeing something in a myth.

A giant black steel dragon galloped across the land with dragon breath.

If Sun Jie hadn't brought this, he would have thought that the dragon had descended into the world.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this giant steel beast is like a black dragon. Is Your Majesty subduing a dragon?"

Sun Chuanting's voice became stuttering.

The huge shock brought by the steam locomotive is far beyond what the car can achieve.

The surrounding guards were basically the same, and some of them even stayed where they were, with their legs numb and unable to move.

Sun Jie accelerated the speed of the steam locomotive, and a large amount of water vapor came out from the exhaust port.

Accompanied by the loud siren sound, the speed is getting faster and faster.

Sun Chuanting chased for a while, but couldn't catch up, so he had to stop and watched the steam locomotive gradually go away.

Lu Xiangsheng rode a war horse and wanted to compete with the steam locomotive.

It's a pity that you can surpass it at the beginning, but the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

Helpless, he had no choice but to go back on horseback.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng who came back, Sun Chuanting asked: "What do you think of this thing?!"

Lu Xiangsheng got off his horse, looked at the steam locomotive going away, and said: "This thing is faster than a car, more powerful, and can pull a lot of things. According to what His Majesty just said, this thing can travel from Chang'an to Jinling. But it came in an instant.

However, the road to take is really harsh, and a special railway needs to be built. The cost is a bit high, but it is only repaired once, and it can be used for many years. If it is used every year, it is not very high!
In terms of military affairs, if this kind of railway is built to the frontier, even if there are not many defenders in the frontier, once there is a change there, the court soldiers and horses can arrive in an instant.

It's a good thing, it's a good thing! "

Lu Xiangsheng's vision is very vicious, so he can naturally see the role of the steam locomotive.

Sun Chuanting also nodded very positively.

"By the way, Brother Sun, tell me, where did His Majesty come from for these miraculous things? These things seem to have appeared out of thin air, with almost no signs!"

Lu Xiangsheng asked suddenly.

Sun Chuanting looked at the warm sun in the sky, and sighed: "We ministers don't need to know these things, we just need to know that His Majesty is the number one enlightened ruler today and through the ages!"

Lu Xiangsheng was still a little unwilling to give up, and murmured there: "There is a saying in the army, Your Majesty is like a man outside the sky!"

Pointing to the sky with a mysterious look on his face.

"General Chen has been missing for a long time, things are probably not normal!"

Lu Xiangsheng was very curious.

Also, this kind of thing, as long as it is an individual, there is a lot of curiosity.

It would be strange if you didn't.

"Let's stop this matter here, Your Majesty is the emperor destined by heaven, you and I don't want to chatter here!"

Sun Chuanting's voice lowered a little.

Being an official with Sun Jie and being an official with Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting's mentality is very different.

Being an official in Chongzhen, even facing Chongzhen, is more out of the respect generated by the rhetoric of Confucian Neo-Confucianism.

Serving as an official here with Sun Jie is full of reverence from the bottom of my heart, and even a bit of fear.

He was obviously a young man, but it just made Sun Chuanting terrified.

Thinking of those outlandish things, Sun Chuanting was terrified in his heart.

Every time I met Sun Jie, it seemed that the person standing opposite me was not a human being, but a god in the sky.

"Boom!"

While speaking, Sun Jie drove a steam locomotive and came galloping from a distance.

The majestic white smoke, in the eyes of the two, is like the clouds under the fairy seat.

"If it's not a fairy in the sky, why go against the world?
Thousands of years from ancient times to the present, the same thing has been carried on like this, but His Majesty has completely changed the things of these thousands of years! "

Lu Xiangsheng whispered.

Sun Jie accurately parked the steam locomotive in front of the two of them.

"You two, come up, I'll take you two for a ride!"

Sun Jie shouted at the two of them through the car door.

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng hurried on the steam locomotive.

Under Sun Jie's control, the speed of the steam locomotive gradually increased.

The cold wind came in from the outside, and the hair of the two of them was blown up by the wind.

Sun Chuanting's gaze gradually became a little misty, and the road outside the steam locomotive turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In this mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, a black steam locomotive that looks like a giant dragon is driving towards the distance with thick white smoke.

Farther away on both sides of the steam locomotive are subjects kneeling on the ground. They have different clothes, which are completely different from those in the Central Plains.

Wherever the steam locomotive goes, it will attract a large number of surrenders.

In a daze, he saw Sun Jie, who conquered the whole world just like the first emperor back then.

Those illusory scenes gradually crumbled before his eyes, and he finally came back to his senses.

"Now I finally understand why Your Majesty named the country Daqin!
In the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers!I am afraid that this sentence will eventually become a reality! "

……

New Year, just like this day by day.

The flavor of the New Year in Chang'an City has reached its peak, and there is a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

Children were running around in the streets wearing new clothes, and small merchants also took advantage of the last time before the end of the year to sell their goods hard.

The adults didn't worry too much about the dangers these children would encounter in the city, or being abducted by human traffickers.

At the end of each year, the inspections on the streets will increase exponentially.

These inspectors have undergone a long period of training before taking office. Although they are not as good as the regular army, they might as well give way compared to the reserve forces.

According to the tradition of this era, the patrol inspectors are not much different from the previous yamen servants in terms of responsibilities.

But when the common people faced the two of them, their attitudes were turned upside down.

In the minds of the common people, the government servants hardly have a good impression.

This is a group of people who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, and are dedicated to oppressing kind people.

But inspections are different. They are very close to the people and often mingle with them.

Nowadays, there is a saying in the market: "If you have difficulties, find a patrol inspector!"

The reason is inseparable from Sun Jie's improvement of the inspection pay.

Sun Jie was wearing ordinary clothes, wandering aimlessly on the streets of Chang'an City.

Whenever the New Year is approaching, he will do this, and feel the lives of the people more closely.

On the front, back, sides, and further away, the guards stayed close to each other, their eyes fixedly scanning the crowd in front of them, not passing by any corner.

There are also big opera singers and storytellers on the streets, all kinds of colorful.

Sometimes Sun Jie would huddle among the crowd, watching the commotion, and would tip a few silver coins from time to time.

In the past, these people who ran the rivers and lakes were low-ranking businesses. Few people could think highly of them, and sometimes they would attract extortion from government servants or the government.

Their identities are firmly nailed to their low status, and they will never be able to recover for a lifetime, and even future generations will not be able to engage in other industries.

Today, they are free citizens without so many restrictions.

Next to the street, a stall attracted Sun Jie's attention.

The stall owner was over half a century old, with white hair, ravines on his face, thin and short.

The clothes on his body were full of patches, and they were so tattered that they couldn't see their original appearance.

Two half-grown children clustered beside him, with tattered straw sandals under their feet.

Several broken wooden boxes were thrown on the ground by a pole.

He rubbed his face, opened those tattered boxes, and took out his own food.

A black robe, a flower crown, and a cloak.

A half-grown child was holding a broken gong and beating it recklessly.

The sharp sound of the gong attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

The middle-aged man cupped his fists and opened his voice:
"I'm coming from Sichuan, and I'm new to Guibao, please Haihan, if you read it well, it's a good fortune to reward you once or twice.

If there is any offense, please bear with me.Walking outside, poor hospitality, please forgive me! "

His face was full of flattery, and his words were full of caution.

Another child cleared his throat and began to sing.

The voice is immature, but sophistication.

The middle-aged man, in this child's libretto, turned several somersaults again and again.

It drew rounds of applause from the surrounding people.

"what!"

The middle-aged man suddenly yelled, the cloak covered his face, then swung it down suddenly, and suddenly appeared halfway to the faces of the people.

A red-faced Guan Gong face appeared on Gu Gu's face.

"drink!"

There was another cry, and the right hand was raised from under the body, passing by the face.

The red-faced Guan Gong was replaced by the white-faced Cao Cao.

"Good good!"

"very nice!"

This exquisite face-changing has attracted the applause of many people.

Sun Jie stood in the crowd, applauding continuously.

This middle-aged man is so skilled that there are almost no flaws to be seen.

Also, in this turbulent time, if there is no way to suppress the bottom of the box, how can we have enough food?

They don't have those halos on them, it's just a means for them to make a living.

The child stopped singing, and the broken gong sounded again.

The middle-aged man clasped his hands and begged for a reward with a smile: "Everyone, take care of me, take care of me a lot!"

"Okay, see the reward!"

A shout sounded, and a black cloth bag was thrown from the crowd and landed on the ground.

The rope in the pocket broke, and seven or eight silver dollars fell to the ground.

A young man steps out from the crowd.

The middle-aged man quickly picked up the money bag, bowed his waist, his face was full of flattery and flattery.

The two children also knelt on the ground together, speaking various auspicious words.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The middle-aged man thanked repeatedly.

"I also gave the money. This trick of changing faces should also be revealed. Let me see it!" The young man smiled and grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulder.

The middle-aged man seemed not surprised, and responded with a smile: "The bottom of the sea is not exposed, and the skills are not spread. Thousands of taels of gold are not sold on the road, and you will send old friends on the street.

My lord, put it in a basin of gold and silver, forgive me, forgive me! "

The waist is even more bent.

Flattery, more.

But the young man didn't seem to want to let it go, and he was still there.

Sun Jie's originally high-spirited expression immediately collapsed.

Just when he was about to stop it, several inspectors walked through the crowd holding iron rulers.

"Stop, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the best place, who allowed you to do this?!"

A young inspector stood in front of the young man, pointing the iron ruler at the young man's nose.

The young man looked at the clothes on the inspector, his heart trembled, and he ran away in despair.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly looked at the inspector again.

"Several officials, the villain has just arrived in Guibao Land, and there are some things that don't know the etiquette, please bear with me!

This is today's money, the villain invites the officials to drink a few cups of tea to moisten their throats! "

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and carefully put the reward from the young man into the inspector's hand.

The inspector stepped back a few steps, and reprimanded with embarrassment: "This is Chang'an, not other places. We are not those dog officials who oppress the people. If it is your money, it is your money. Don't do this, let me miss my future!"
That's enough, you guys can perform here in peace.If anyone comes to harass you again, come to us.We will give you justice! "

The inspector left behind a few words, and flew away.
