Zhao Si left the Chongzheng Palace and went to the door of the cabinet. The right servant of Shangshu Province shot Li Fu, the Minister of Academic Affairs Su Chi, and the right servant Huang Xingguo were waiting here.
When Zhao Si went to inspect Chengjun University, he was naturally accompanied by Li Fu, the right servant of the Shangshu Province in charge of academic affairs, as well as Su Chi and Huang Xingguo, the chief and deputy chief officers of the department.
"You three have been waiting for a long time. I am delayed by something. Let's go."
Zhao Si said simply and neatly.
Zhao Si got on the specially-made carriage, Li Fu, Su Chi and Huang Xingguo got on their own carriages, and then walked out of Donghua Gate under the guard of the cavalry, turned onto Donghua Street, and headed south.
Looking at the houses and people outside the window, Zhao Si thought silently.
Kaifeng City, the capital of the Song Dynasty, will eventually become history.
I have already planned the five capitals in the east, west, south, north and central. Kaifeng Prefecture will still be Tokyo, Jiangning Prefecture will be Nanjing, Xi'an Prefecture will be renamed Chang'an Prefecture and become Zhongjing, and Xijing will be Xichang Prefecture after the expansion of Kangju City - this news will be in
Announced during the Second Western Expedition.
At that time, the Western Region and the Hezhong region had been pacified and everything was on track. The western region of the Song Dynasty needed such a new city to serve as a regional center - a transshipment, economic and other center.
And Beiping Prefecture is the capital of Beijing, and will be given the title of "Capital" and become the official capital of the Song Dynasty. At least for the next hundred years, it will remain the heart of the Song Dynasty and even the world.
The cart was pulled by four white horses. They were extremely handsome. They had undergone strict training and would not be easily frightened. They moved lightly, and their hooves stepped on the stone slabs and cement of the street, making a clicking sound. From a distance, it sounded a bit strange.
Like the sound of knocking wooden fish.
The carriage soon arrived in front of a building outside Zhuque Gate.
This is the starting station of Kaifeng Prefecture Metro Line 1 - Zhuquemen Station.
Situ Fan Zhixu of the Zhongshu Province, Xie Kejia, the Senior Minister of the Left Government, Zhang Shangying, the Senior Minister of the Right Government, Zhang Shangying, Cai You, Su Ji, Zhang Ze, Fan Zhengguo, Han Jiayan, Zhang Wei, led Xiang Huadi, Ding Guochang, Li Sixian and more than 20 people
A senior official stood on the left side of the station gate; Li Gang, the governor of Kaifeng, Zheng Su Xie, the governor of Gewuyuan, Li Wei, Zuo Siye and others stood on the right to greet them.
Both the ministers and ministers had a lot of things to do, so Zhao Si told them to go about their business. Zhongshu was pragmatic and it was rare to get close to the officials, so he gave them a chance to accompany him to inspect Sungkyun University.
Behind them, two vermilion rail cars were painted to shine, parked one behind the other on the rails.
After greeting each other with greetings, Zhao Si said, "Everyone, please get in the car."
"Get in the car, get in the car." Fan Zhixu, the highest-ranking official present, responded, and then asked everyone to get in the car.
Zhao Si, Fan Zhixu, Xie Kejia, Zhang Shangying, Cai You, Su Ji, Zhang Ze, Fan Zhengguo, Han Jiayan, Zhang Wei, Li Gang, Su Xie and Li Wei, as well as more than twenty school clerks and bodyguards, went up.
The first rail car.
Xiang Huadi, Ding Guochang, Li Sixian and other senior officials boarded the second carriage, accompanied by Li Fu, Su Chi, Huang Xingguo and Shizhong Yu Wenxu.
The tramcar was driven forward slowly by twelve packhorses. The horses were restrained into a row of three and four rows, and they moved forward along the railway track honestly.
The entire track runs through the city, and the tramcars go neither fast nor slow.

There are two tracks, each with two rails. Outside the track is a barbed wire fence as high as one person, which separates it from the blocks outside. There is an intersection a section of the way, with an opening to let people and cars pass, and there are road police there.
Maintain order.
There were guard cavalry on both sides following the escort. It could be seen that the car ran at a trot similar to that of a horse. Although it was not fast, it was more stable. It ran for six miles in one breath without slowing down at all.
After exiting Xinzheng Gate, the tram stopped on the platform. I saw a two-story platform in front of me, and the tram platform seemed to have been moved to it.
Next to it is a tall tower-like building, with creaking and banging sounds coming from inside. From the west side of the platform, a bridge stretches out, with two parallel bridge piers at a distance, all the way to Qionglin Garden.
Li Gang led everyone up the steps to the platform, where you could see two trams parked on it. Two tracks were built on the bridge deck.
"It's strange. How can this rail car run without an ox horse?" Han Jiayan, the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, discovered a problem and asked curiously.
"So that Brother Shimao knows. This railcar is different from the one we just took. It is a newly improved railcar."
Han Jiayan was the sixth son of Duke Han Zhongxian, and he was married to Zhao Si's biological sister, the eldest princess of Jin. However, the eldest princess of Jin died of illness in the fifteenth year of Tianqi.
"Oh, official, is there any mystery in this?"
"Haha, let's take a ride first and then ask Master Su to explain it to everyone." Zhao Si replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's sit down and watch first."
"Everyone, please sit down." Li Gang stood up and said with cupped hands, "The car may be a bit bumpy, so it's best to sit tight to avoid bumping over the gentlemen."
After waiting for a while, the bell rang several times in the cab in front, and then the sound of kaka was heard coming up from the chassis of the car. Many people were startled and couldn't help but lower their heads and look down. But they could only
See solid clean floors.
Then I heard a rattling sound, which was very harsh, and then the car shuddered and started forward.
"Hey, it's amazing. Just by shouting a few times, the car started to move. It's amazing. Is there some mechanism under the car?" Cai You said very lively and pushed Zhang Shangying who was sitting next to him.
"Brother Tianjue, tell me, what kind of magical mechanism is this? Could it be Liu Ding Liu Jia who was summoned?"
Zhang Shangying smiled indifferently, "'You don't say anything, but you have strange power and chaos.' I don't dare to talk about something that I don't understand."
Since the fifth year of Tianqi's reign, he failed in the fight with Cai Jing and claimed to be ill and rested for several years. Later, he was reinstated because he put forward some constructive opinions on religion. When the cabinet was formed this time, he was promoted to the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province.
But after his recovery, he became more humble. Faced with the "provocation" from his once biggest political enemy's son, he just smiled and used Tai Chi to resolve it.
The tram was driving on the bridge, and everyone was talking in low voices while looking down at the scenery in the distance.
After walking for about two miles, I suddenly heard a clicking sound. The car shuddered slightly, as if something was empty, and slowly stopped. Then with a creak, the car slowed down quickly, and soon stopped at a platform.
superior.

What's going on? Has the car reached the terminal?
Li Gang stood up and said, "Gentlemen, we have now arrived at the terminal station, Qionglinyuan Station. We have run for almost two miles, and now it is up to Su Gewu to solve the mystery for everyone."
After getting off the tram, we went down the steps to the two-story platform. There were fifty or sixty people standing on the ground one after the other on the car, all gathered together, with Zhao Si as the center of the circle, the innermost
In the inner circle were Fan Zhixu, Xie Kejia, Li Fu, Han Jiayan, Su Chi, Su Mai, Li Gang and others. Cai You squeezed hard and finally occupied a position in the innermost circle.
The outer circle is Su Yan, Zhang Ze, Fan Zhengguo and others, the third circle is Xiang Huadi, Ding Guochang, Li Sixian and others, and the outermost circle is the attachés from Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province and Secretariat Province, spreading out.
They formed small circles again. If you look closely, you can see that most of these small circles have the Secretary and Provincial Secretary as the center of the circle.
Su Xie and Li Wei led the way, leading Zhao Si and others to a tall round tower-shaped building next to the platform. As soon as they got closer, they smelled the strong stench of cattle and horses.
Fan Zhixu, Xie Kejia, Han Jiayan, Cai You and others couldn't help covering their mouths and noses, but the smell was getting stronger and stronger, and they wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
However, the official walked in front with great interest and was not affected at all, so everyone had no choice but to endure it and follow behind.
Walking to the round tower building, everyone saw clearly that it was a building composed of cement piers and steel frames. Inside was a tall iron tower, with a huge round iron column constantly rotating inside.
Under the round iron pillar is a large disk with a radius of more than ten meters. The whole body is made of iron frames, with eight huge iron rods extending out, like a huge rudder placed flat on the ground.
On each iron pole, there are eight strong cows, and the eight iron rods are sixty-four cows. They are blindfolded, and under the greetings of more than a dozen cowmen, they neatly carry the eight iron rods and turn them.
.
The eight iron rods rotated the large disc, which in turn rotated the round iron pillar, which was connected to the superstructure three or four stories high. Only the creaking sound could be heard there, but it was blocked and could not be seen clearly.
The discs and round iron pillars are all built indoors, while the eight iron rods and sixty-four cows move in the shed extending outward. It is well-lit but can be protected from wind and rain. There is a hanging hanging behind the buttocks of each cow.
A cloth bag, just like the cows and horses that pull and ride horses in Kaifeng City - this is used to prevent the cows and horses from shitting on the ground.
Everyone resisted the pungent smell - even though they were wearing cloth bags, they still couldn't avoid the stench of cow dung filling the air. After walking around the huge tower-like building twice, Zhao Si said to Su Xie
