Chapter 998 Mr. Qiao's Trip to Ming Dynasty ([-]rd update, please subscribe)
The torrent of the times engulfs the fate of people, and the fate of people often undergoes earth-shaking changes in the great era.

The ocean-going immigrant ship sailed towards the coast at high speed. Against the background of light and shadow, the figure of Tianya Island emerged in the sea.

Tianya Island is actually a peninsula, located at the entrance of Linhai Bay, where the fort guarding Linhai Bay is located. When the ship approaches, you can clearly see the strong fortress on the island.From the other side, the cannon can be seen pointing straight out to sea.

"We have arrived!"

Like all the passengers, Qiao Zhiyong was already on board before the ship approached the bay, seeing Daming getting closer and closer, his mood was indescribably complicated.

"Father, look..."

Pointing to Linhai City, Qiao Jingcheng said.

"This is Linhai City. More than ten years ago, when Emperor Shengde of Ming Dynasty was still the owner of Nanhua Company, he led his troops over the thousands of meters high Andes Mountains, arrived here, and then conquered Chile in one fell swoop, renamed Chile Shanxi! If we disembark at the safe port in the north, we will pass through Taiyuan by train..."

Before the brothers could finish speaking, Qiao Jingxi, who was only 12 years old, laughed happily.

"Emperor Shengde is also from Shanxi, right? How can the name of the place refer to our Shanxi!"

"Isn't it just, Master, this Emperor Shengde is really interesting. Why do you say that you are using the place names of our Shanxi? Wuhuai is really like what the young master said, maybe it is also our Shanxi fellow."

"Haha, it's not necessarily true, but Daming established a country in a foreign land, and every time he conquered a place, he changed the place names of our Huaxia, not only to promote the might of Wu, but also to not forget the original..."

Qiao Zhiyong nodded at his son's words.

"It is the glory of my Chinese people that this Emperor Shengde can build such a large fortune with his bare hands on the territory of the Westerners..."

"Look, skyscraper!"

Suddenly, Qiao Zhiyong's words were interrupted, and the people on the boat pointed to the tall buildings on the shore and shouted excitedly.

They looked towards the shore one after another, and what caught their eyes were tall buildings. Looking at those tall buildings, people were all shocked.

In the eyes of people's astonishment, the ship was pushed onto the trestle by the tugboat.

"After disembarking in a while, you have to follow closely. This is not the country. If you get separated, you won't be able to return to Shanxi!"

"Who says you can't reach Shanxi, you can go north by train, Fifth Brother, isn't that the case?"

Qiao Zhiyong shook his head at the words of the youngest son, he loves this youngest son the most, after all, he is old enough to be a son!
Soon, they disembarked, passed the customs inspection, and took a taxi to the train station. After waiting at the train station for half an hour, they boarded the train to Nanhua.

"Father, this Pacific Railway is the first railway in the world that connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This railway has been built from Nanhua all the way to Linhai. It is the most important railway in Ming Dynasty. Ridge over the Andes Mountains - it is the highest mountain in South America, the highest point is 6000 meters..."

"Brother, how high is 6000 meters."

"It's almost [-] feet!"

In an instant, they were all stunned - [-] feet!How high is that mountain!

"This, this mountain is higher than the Taihang Mountain..."

Looking at the astonishment of his father, younger brother, and the guys, Qiao Jingcheng seemed a little proud. He had read all these from books, and usually his favorite thing was reading, and he even suggested this trip to Daming.

The Qing Dynasty fell, and China recovered.

and then?
The Qiao family must either adapt to the changes of the times and change itself, or disappear from the world completely.How will the Qiao family change?
Dad has been to Haizhou and Xuzhou, he has seen a lot and learned a lot, but where should he go?Where to go to learn?

Daming, of course!

What are you doing in Daming?
In Daming's terms, it is investigation, what is the investigation?

Even Qiao Zhiyong didn't have a clue in his heart, but what is certain is that he was given too many surprises on the road ahead.

When he was in China, he also took a train. To a certain extent, domestic railways are no different from Daming. After all, when Xuzhou started to build railways, the rails used were from Daming, and the locomotives were also from Daming.

And what attracted Qiao Zhiyong now?
With the beautiful scenery on both sides of the railway, and of course the towns he saw along the way, what kind of Daming was presented before his eyes?

The city is prosperous, the roads are smooth and clean, and the passengers in the carriages and the people you meet along the way all look peaceful and healthy. This may be the most intuitive impression.

After the train passed the central valley, it began to climb on the hillside. The earth showed bridges and valleys. When passing between the railway and the valley, the railway entered the sky and passed the cliff. At that time, Qiao Zhiyong was deeply shocked.

"This is really a miracle!"

While sighing, Qiao Zhiyong really couldn't imagine that the train was actually driving on such a cliff.Looking up, there are strange rocky cliffs towering into the clouds, and looking down, there are deep and narrow rushing valleys, which makes people dizzy for a while.

"Father, this is the famous "Devil's Nose", which means that the train runs on the devil's nose. As long as the devil blows, the train may..."

how could it be
He looked at the sky and the abyss outside the car window in amazement.Qiao Jingxi said with some fear.

"Brother, this, this car will be safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man on the side seat spoke.

"Haha, kid, don't worry, nothing will happen. Although the devil's nose is dangerous, its name is left over from the road construction. The road builders are like digging mountains on the devil's nose. Only with simple blasting and shovel digging, sections of thrilling wall-hanging railways were dug out of the cliffs. Just here alone, at least hundreds of road builders died, so this name is left behind..."

"I see, I never thought there would be such a story behind this road!"

Qiao Zhiyong sighed.

"Da Ming created this foundation in a foreign land, it's really too late!"

"That's why the national anthem of the empire has the words "Entrepreneurship is difficult, remembering the martyrs". This is not only about soldiers, but also engineers and workers. After passing this cave, there is the "Eternal Spring Temple". These pioneers, His Majesty will send people here every year to pay homage to them,... Over the years, His Majesty has never forgotten them."

"Your Majesty is benevolent!"

When the words fell, the man just smiled slightly, and then asked Qiao Zhiyong.

"Your accent seems to be from Shanxi. I am from Shaanxi. Since ancient times, Shanxi has been a family. Speaking of which, we are also half of our hometown."
