Chapter 1843: The door to the new world

After leaving Shanhai Pass, Qian Qian looked back at the majestic pass outside the pass, and saw that there was only one pass outside the pass, but it became the boundary between Lu and Ming, and this border divided two worlds. One world's door closed to Qian Qian, while the door to a new world was opened to him.

call……

Qian Qian let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he felt like he had come to the capital from Ningbo. It was just that fate played a joke with him, but it brought him back to a new starting point.

But everything outside the pass was beyond his expectations. From the time he left the pass, the straight road continued to the north. There were market towns everywhere, and there were carts and horses carrying goods everywhere. In order to provide rest for the carriages and horses, there were always inns and wine flags hanging with flags every now and then.

There is a road of more than a hundred miles to Qinglong here, but this one is much closer than you imagined, because I have been riding a car, the road is flat and the road is not bumpy along the way. I thought it was just a small town on the frontier, and at most it was just a town of the same big. However, before I arrived at Qinglong, I could see countless houses extending outward.

These are all satellite towns. Qinglong's land value has risen, so many trades and populations have migrated to nearby towns to live. Some are horse markets. Along the small town, there are countless cattle and horses coming to trade, and some are distribution centers for silk and cloth.

There are crowds of people everywhere and pedestrians. But connecting the small towns and the Qinglong are train stations. The giant whistles whistle and then with the momentum of the earth shaking the mountains, the rolling smoke rolls from the front of the car, like a long snake, carrying goods and populations, scattered everywhere outside the pass.

Building railways has become a fashion here. Major commercial banks are willing to build roads. Some people purchased large tracts of land somewhere. These barren lands were originally worthless, but as long as they bought the land, they began to apply for the construction of branch railways to China Merchants. As long as the station comes, not only can the railway be operated to earn money, but the land can also appreciate countless times. Because with a station, it means that a large number of people who migrate out of customs will gather, and once they settle down, many businesses will come in.

Of course, this is something that big business companies are worried about. This kind of investment that can often cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver is definitely not something that ordinary people can get involved.

However, for ordinary people, they are already accustomed to the convenience brought by railways. The construction of railways has caused ordinary businessmen to ignore the distance of sales. Many people originally only stick to Qinglong's business, but now, their investments dare to appear hundreds of miles away, or even hundreds of miles a small town, may be noticed by people, purchasing land and establishing markets, and the distribution of goods is ten or a hundred times that of the past.

Ordinary people are naturally willing to settle in market towns scattered outside the pass. Even no matter how far away the pastures are, some people dare to work. The construction of railways has expanded from nothing to something, from one to two, from two to four, four to eight, and almost snowballed.

The planned route has exceeded more than 10,000 kilometers, and the built railway line has passed 3,000 kilometers. This... is just the beginning.

The first railway was time-consuming and labor-intensive. After all, the craftsman team was not mature, and the planning and technical difficulties encountered in the middle also needed to be overcome. The craftsmen also needed to be proficient. But now, it is completely different. Countless skilled craftsmen and countless technical personnel have been trained, and this railway... has become a special discipline.

Qian Qian saw the railway with his own eyes and the steamed car like a monster. He was a little confused. This shock came even bigger than he witnessed the prosperity outside the pass.

He was almost scared to breathe, and often when steaming cars rushed past, the biggest difference between people outside the pass and immigrants. For the old residents here, they often looked as usual, but for new immigrants, they were often frightened to the face of the earth.

After finally reaching Qinglong, Qian Qian also saw the prosperity along the way almost completely, but he had a faint expectation in his heart. In this strange city, he believed that only things that would unexpectedly appear would appear.

The boundary between Qinglong and the nearby small town comes from a pioneering river. After crossing the bridge, you will see countless magnificent buildings in Qinglong City.

"I'm going to live here." Qian Qian narrowed his eyes, and had never been so sure.

Since he has come, I have the money, of course I have come to live a good life. But here, he saw more prosperity that he had never seen before. Although he did not have the grand atmosphere of the capital, under the eyes of the bright lights and wine, Qian Qian suddenly felt that he was worth the trip.

But when he reached the bridge, he unexpectedly saw an old acquaintance, just...

Qian Qian looked at the familiar face and shivered for no reason, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Deng."

Deng Jian came to greet him in person today, but his face was as gloomy as it was.

Ye Chunqiu had already written a letter and explained everything. Of course, with Deng Jian's temperament, Deng Jian deeply hated what Qian Qian did. He had made up his mind to break off contact with Qian Qian. In his heart, Qian Qian was a traitor, a traitor, and everyone was punished.

But after all, Deng Jian came, not sure because he was considering his past relationship or because of Ye Chunqiu's letters.

But no matter what, Qian Qian can't make trouble in this life anyway.

Deng Jian first glared at Qian Qian, and then he spit out a word from his mouth: "Go."

After leaving, Qian Qian looked like a child who had done something wrong and nodded in disappointment when he saw his parents.

Deng Jian took a leave today and specially invited Qian Qian to the vicinity of Prince Lu's Mansion. But when he arrived here, Qian Qian was truly eye-opening.

When Qian Qian first arrived at this Qinglong, he thought that the city was his dream place. But when he arrived here, he saw the towering Prince Lu Mansion, countless nearby departments, square stone buildings planned, wide streets, and neat flowers and trees beside the road. He realized that this Qinglong had such a good place to go.

Even along the way, he actually saw the library, a huge building. Although it was only 30% tall, it was decorated with glass and marble, and shining in the sun.

On the outside are small buildings, all of which are rich families. They are neatly decorated and look extremely quiet.
