Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1259

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment before saying:

“Biao’er and I have already drafted a set of laws for the railway, and we still need your feedback to refine the details.”

Subsequently, Wei Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Biao immersed themselves in refining the details of railway management laws.

Time passed slowly, and the train continued its high-speed journey, speeding through mountains and rivers.

Two hours passed in this way, and the Tengfei began to gradually reduce its speed because it was almost at its destination.

Meanwhile, at Lianyungang Station, just like in Beijing, the area was already packed with people.

Some of them were soldiers who had been arranged by the imperial court to maintain order here, while others were merchants who wanted to inspect the train.

Of course, besides witnessing the train, these merchants had another purpose: to take the train to the capital.

Like the merchants in the capital, they also prepared a large quantity of goods to be sent to the capital for trade.

But the majority of people at the scene were just onlookers, their eyes fixed on the seemingly endless railway tracks.

"Do you think that train the imperial court mentioned is really that magical, able to get here in just two hours?"

"I don't know, but the imperial court shouldn't make things up. Judging by the time, the train should arrive here soon."

"Just asking, have you ever seen what a train looks like? Is it like a horse-drawn carriage or an oxcart?"

"How is that possible? Can horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts travel that fast? It takes two hours to get from the capital to Haizhou!"

"I'm so excited! I really want to see what the train looks like and whether it's really as amazing as it seems."

The onlookers shared their thoughts, all expressing curiosity about the train.

Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Look, look over there! Isn't that thing moving and emitting white smoke a train?!"

Upon hearing this shout, everyone's gaze turned to the distant railway tracks, and then everyone exclaimed in surprise.

The Tengfei, like a galloping dragon, moved towards the station while spewing out large amounts of steam.

Meanwhile, those sitting on the train, whether businessmen or officials, all saw the people at the station.

The officials were all alright. Although they were equally shocked, they didn't show it too much, since the train wasn't of much use to them.

Most officials in the capital, unless assigned to official duties, would most likely never leave the capital for their entire lives.

But for merchants, it was different. The emergence of trains was a magical tool that made it easier for them to do business.

"It's true, we've really arrived in Haizhou! My God, we really got from the capital to Haizhou in just two hours!!"

“That’s right, this is indeed Haizhou. I’ve been to Haizhou many times, and I can see that mountain every time I come!”

"Traveling a thousand miles a day, it really does! With such a magical device, we won't have to work so hard in the future!"

Woo~woo~!

Amidst gasps of amazement, the train slowly pulled into the station along the tracks and finally came to a stop beside the platform.

The unique and loud hissing sound also woke up everyone who was daydreaming!

Because people have already been deployed here in advance, there is no need to worry about safety.

When the train stopped, Zhu Yuanzhang, along with a group of officials and a large number of merchants, walked out of the carriages.

Although they were still inside the train station, they could still hear gasps of surprise coming from outside.

"It took only two hours to get from the capital to Haizhou. Even though I was mentally prepared, it still felt amazing to experience it firsthand."

Hearing the noise coming from outside the train station, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Wei Wu and slowly spoke.
