As soon as he left the city gate, Qi Tian saw an endless stretch of railroad tracks, extending along the north city gate toward the mountains in the distance.

"How come the work is done so fast?"

Seeing this scene, Qi Tian was a little shocked.

But what Tieniu said next broke his cognition.

"It costs more than ten cents per person. We spend hundreds of taels of silver every day to recruit people. Even during the Chinese New Year, there are many people coming to work."

In the farming society of the Liang Dynasty, the price of labor was kept very low.

Ordinary laying of railroad tracks is already a relatively leisurely job compared with some dock workers.

So it only takes a dozen pennies to call someone over.

The price of labor is so low. As long as you pay, there will be no shortage of labor.

Cooperating with the productivity of the Ministry of Industry's workshop, these railway tracks were quickly constructed successfully.

"Let's go up and have a look."

Qi Tian accepted the situation and saw that the sky was getting dark and it was almost time for lunch.

I quickly followed Tieniu and prepared to go up and have a look.

Several people walked up the railway track.

There are already many minecarts lined up at the end of the railway track.

This is a minecart drawn by Qitian himself. Its function is very simple, with only brakes and one pedal.

There is no steam engine or anything like that yet.

If equipped with a steam engine, maybe a small train can be made in this era.

But the distance from Beishan to the capital is not necessary.

"Boss, look, that's it. The Zhan-style coupler you mentioned can easily hook up a dozen carriages. After sending them down once, you can just ask a few people to pedal the empty carriages back from the capital.

It doesn’t take much effort.”

The weight of the empty bike is very light and you can pedal it up when going up the mountain.

As for going down the mountain, they can use the slope from top to bottom to go down directly.

"Have you tested it?"

"It's been tested and it's very stable! Just like the maintenance and upkeep of the rails you mentioned, a lot of people are needed."

Tieniu nodded, spoke very seriously, and directed people to place the mine carts on the rails.

Qi Tian's heart moved.

"Wife."

"What's the matter, Mr. Xian?"

Ye Ning curiously looked at the mine cart in front of her, and after hearing Qi Tian's words, she set her sights on him.

"Let me get you some excitement, come up here."

Qi Tian took Ye Ning's little hand and hugged her into his arms.

"Sit here?"

"right!"

Today is the first time it is put into use. Qi Tian wants to call Ye Ning to experience this feeling with him.

"good!"

Ye Ning snuggled into Qi Tian's arms obediently.

Tieniu stepped forward and said: "Boss, this is the brake, and this is the pedal. When you go to the city gate in a while, just park the car there and go back. The people I arranged there will collect it in the evening.

"

"knew."

Qi Tian and Ye Ning both looked excited.

After pulling the handbrake, the minecart began to move slowly downward.

Qitian and Ye Ning sat on the mine cart, and the bumps they imagined did not appear.

On the contrary, this minecart is very stable!

The biting cold wind blew against my cheeks, and everything under the mountain seemed very small, but as the mine car accelerated, it began to become bigger and bigger.

This is an extremely wonderful feeling!

Whoosh!

The minecart starts going faster and faster.

"Ms. sir, it's so fun!"

Ye Ning's little face was flushed, and she stretched out her hands excitedly to feel the strong wind, not caring about the cold weather at all.

Watching her dancing, Qi Tian also found it quite interesting.

It is said that there is a kind of suspension bridge effect between men and women, that is, when they experience exciting things, they can feel love.

This is the case now.

With a move in his heart, Qi Tian lowered his head and kissed Ye Ning's red lips.

Ye Ning trembled and curled up her warm body into Qi Tian's arms like a little white rabbit.

A sweet fragrance came from the tip of the nose, and the two of them kissed while sitting in the mine cart.

…

Soon, the car arrived in front of the North City Gate.

At this time, several workers in the mines saw that the whole world was coming, and they quickly stepped forward:

"Master Qi, why is your minecart here?"

This mine cart is neither big nor small, and can hold several hundred kilograms of coal at a time.

It definitely cannot be used by people in the entire capital.

They thought that there would be at least 10 or 20 cars coming down, but they didn't expect that there were only two people, Qi Tian.

"I'll take my wife with me to try it out. They will remove the coal after loading the goods."

Qi Tian walked out of the car with Ye Ning, who was flushed in his arms, and after exchanging a few words with a few people, he came to Sihai Study.

"Ms. sir, you have written so much about Red Mansion, but many people still think you..."

While walking on the road, Ye Ning informed Qi Tian of the situation in the past few days.

She is usually busy with military affairs outside and meets many people.

I've heard a lot of rumors.

Ever since Qi Tian said last time that the Red Mansions Meeting was over.

Many people insinuated that he had exhausted his talents.

Although many people like to read this book, with the blessing of Qitian's notoriety, it has successfully created a strange phenomenon.

That is, no one has improved their perception of Qi Tian because of this book.

On the contrary, they were all waiting for Qitian to fall from the altar.

At the entrance of Sihai Study, there are now several pots of anthracite coal placed under the awning specially built by Qitian.

In winter, Qitian will provide free anthracite for those who cannot afford books to come and read.

"Look, Qitian is here!"

"Are you here to deal with the Red Mansion matter?"

"Why don't you go up and ask and see what book he is planning to publish next!"

"Haha, you are so bad. The Red Mansion is his limit. Do you really think he can write anything else?"

As soon as everyone saw Qitian coming, they started talking.

Sun Yazhi was also sitting here at this time, looking at the Red Building with a few little sisters.

They all like to eat popcorn from Sihai Study Room.

He even set up a group for reading Red Mansions and discussed it every day.

However, in Qi Tian's eyes, this kind of behavior is just like the Qinglong study group established in elementary school.

It doesn't make any sense.

After all, these girls combined may not have enough knowledge in their heads to fill a book.

Even the discussion has no results.
