Chapter 14 Yangcheng
After getting on the train, Zhao Guoyang relied on his strong body and carried his luggage in and Ma Jian followed him closely, for fear of being squeezed apart.
Why did Zhao Guoyang carry it instead of dragging his luggage away?
There is really no way. In this era, there are crowds of people on trains, and there is not even a stop. If you don’t carry your luggage on your shoulders, you will definitely not be able to squeeze in.
When passing the hard seat area, Zhao Guoyang suddenly discovered that a young woman in her early thirties was holding her son and peeing in the corner of the carriage. What surprised him even more was that no one around said he could stop him, which felt that it was very common.
This would have been incredible if it were the era before Zhao Guoyang was reborn.
But since he has arrived, Zhao Guoyang can only integrate himself into the current environment.
The sleeper berths in this era are actually not much different from hard seats. They are also small and crowded, but there are too many small beds with upper and lower bunks.
After Zhao Guoyang settled his luggage, he sued Ma Jian and climbed to the upper bunk to sleep to nourish his energy.
Ma Jian thought Zhao Guoyang was sleepy, but in fact he was very uncomfortable by the miserable scenes in front of him, and he couldn't say anything. After thinking about it, he could only sleep with his head covering and his eyes were clean.
As the most common long-distance transportation method in the early 1990s, the speed of green trains was one of its major disadvantages.
From Jinling to Yangcheng, we started and stopped all the way, and we walked for two days and two nights. The bumps along the way almost broke Zhao Guoyang's bones apart.
When he was secretly recalling the situation before he was reborn, when he was out in that era, he was flying and then picked up the luxury car after he arrived. Zhao Guoyang could only sigh and remained silent.
When getting off the train, I had another struggle, but with previous experience, Zhao Guoyang adapted a lot this time and squeezed out a way for Ma Jian along the flow of people.
"Guoyang, I'm in good health. Lao Hu, the head of the supply and marketing department, was much worse than you when he was on a business trip with me for the first time. He was so crowded that he almost couldn't find anyone." After leaving the train station, Ma Jian patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder with a smile.
The old Hu that Ma Jian mentioned is naturally Hu Dalong, the head of the sales department.
Due to the frame problem, Zhao Guoyang had a bad impression of this person and could not speak normally. When he heard Ma Jian mention this name, he smiled reservedly and did not express his opinion.
The two walked out of the train station with laughter and laughter. Although Zhao Guoyang was already empty at this time, he thought that he could reach his destination immediately, and his steps were a little faster.
After leaving the train station, a refreshing and cool breeze blew on his body, allowing Zhao Guoyang to sweep away the previous haze.
"Haha, Yangcheng is OK! Here, even in winter, the lowest temperature is not lower than ten degrees." Ma Jian smiled and took off his thick coat.
Looking at the tall buildings in front of you and the endless crowds of people on the street, Zhao Guoyang also showed a hint of amazement on his face.
You should know that in the early 1990s, the Republic had not yet proposed concepts such as "national central city" and "mega-city".
When it comes to big cities in China, there are only three names in our minds: "Beijing", "Songjiang" and "Yangcheng".
Pengcheng, another super-large city in Guangdong Province that emerged in later generations, is far inferior to these three cities at this time.
Among these three major cities, there is no need to say much about the capital. It is the political center of the Republic; Songjiang is the economic center of the Republic, and these two cities are municipalities directly under the central government.
And Yangcheng is naturally unique in its ability to compare with these two municipalities directly under the central government.
Zhao Guoyang didn't know much about Yangcheng in his previous life.
He only knew that the largest sports meeting in China, the National Games, was held in three cities in turn before the 2005 Jinling National Games, namely the three major cities of "Beijing, Shanghai and Sheep".
In fact, as the capital of Nanyue Province, the forefront of reform and opening up, Yangcheng has always been a very special city.
The people here are open-minded and enterprising, and their neighboring to Xiangjiang, an international financial center, give it a unique development environment and natural advantages that other big cities do not have.
Historically, since the Qin Dynasty, Yangcheng has been the political, military, economic, cultural and scientific and educational center in South China.
Since the 1930s, it has become the main port of the Maritime Silk Road in China, the largest port in China during the Tang and Song dynasties, and the only foreign trade port in China in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It can be said that Yangcheng is a very important city in the entire history of China. It is not a matter of overnight success.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Zhao Guoyang gradually relaxed.
Yes, after I was reborn, this was my first time to come to a metropolis like Yangcheng. It was indeed much more prosperous than a regional metropolis like Jinling.
"Guoyang, you have never been to such a prosperous city? Let's go, get on the bus first. After waiting, I'll take you around Yangcheng." Ma Jian saw Zhao Guoyang stunned there, thinking that he had never seen the world before, so he quickly reminded with a smile.
Zhao Guoyang responded quickly and dragged his luggage to follow Director Ma's pace.
The bus system in Yangcheng is even more developed than that in Jinling. There is one on each line almost every ten minutes. Ma Jian is familiar with the road and takes Zhao Guoyang directly to Line 12.
After getting on the bus, Ma Jian took out a 50-cent ticket and handed it to the female ticket seller sitting at the door.
"Two people, four cents, I'll find you one cent." The female ticket seller neatly picked out a one cents ticket from his hands and handed it to Ma Jian.
There is no saying that coin is automatically put on this era. In addition to being equipped with a driver, each bus must be equipped with a ticket conductor. Most of these ticket conductors are held by women.
The ticket seller in front of him was wearing a denim suit and looked quite fashionable and capable, which made Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but take a look and secretly praised: It's true that it's a big city, and it can keep up with the pace of fashion.
Maybe it was seen that Zhao Guoyang was not a local. After the vehicle started, the ticket seller kindly reminded him in half-baked Mandarin: "Comrade, find a seat and sit down quickly. This car is shaking very well."
"Ah, good...good!" Zhao Guoyang, who was a little distracted, nodded quickly and responded.
Ma Jian noticed Zhao Guoyang's expression and couldn't help but feel funny.
He had a free and easy personality and didn't go to Zhao Guoyang, so he found a seat on his own and sat down.
