Chapter 3 The Railway Story
"That was the 82nd year of the Republic. At that time, Shanghai built a dozen miles of Songhu Railway. It was led by two big bosses, President Feng and Premier Duan. The seven generals went to Shanghai to congratulate each other. I also followed them to Shanghai Huacha Huacha!"
"When I arrived in Shanghai, I had to get on the train from Wusong Town and arrive at the station, but I didn't expect that... These eight real-time generals named Wu were blocked!"
Everyone asked, "What's going on?"
Anji Li said in a mess: "The ticket seller actually asked us to get tickets. Of course, the small amount of money didn't require a few adults to speak. I was the first to take out two hundred yuan bills and asked: 'How much does the fourteen best seats cost?'"
"When several adults were secretly praising me for my good work, the saleswoman glanced at me casually and said, "I don't want to spend money on Nongge, I have to wait for a dream!"
Everyone was surprised, and Anji Li continued, "I said, 'Look clearly, this money is a banknote issued by the Bank of Communications, and it is 100% cashed out!" As a result, do you know what that woman said?"
He deliberately stopped and said nothing, and everyone asked in a verbal manner: "What do you say? What do you say? Say it quickly!"
"The woman said: 'Ala only recognizes the banknotes of Shanghai Industrial Bank, Bank of Communications? What's the point?...Ala only accepts banknotes issued by Shanghai Bank. Besides, this kind of high-quality seat can be used by people from Nongjie to sit... I have to book! I know how tired it is!'"
Anji Li learned this woman's Shanghai tone vividly, and everyone immediately laughed.
"I think that the few supervisors cannot be embarrassed, and they cannot let the few supervisors squeeze into the second-class shop, right? I said, 'I am from the Ministry of Transport. These two are General Duan and General Feng, and several generals, who missed their itinerary. Do you know how much responsibility it is?' As a result, the woman's next sentence became even more harsh: 'Ministry of Transportation... Nong repairs what Russian railways are like, but they don't want to talk about Alah, and they haven't built a mile! Look at the railways built in Alah Shanghai... Nong knows how to use public banknotes to eat and drink, what Russian generals, and the masters, and the rice bucket!'"
Anji learned the mean voice of the female ticket seller. Everyone laughed. Only Murong Xuehai sat there with his face turned pale. At this time, Anji said, "At this time, I had not spoken yet. President Feng's face turned pale and had already walked out of the car. I was about to persuade him a few times, but Premier Duan also turned around and got out of the car. The few generals of the military commanders also didn't have a good face and didn't speak. After walking for a long time, he arrived at the dock. President Feng looked at the sea and finally spoke. He said, "Go back! Go back! I have never been so angry since I was a child!"
Everyone's expressions were solemn, and they pricked up their ears to listen to Li Anji's speech: "They always use railway issues in the south to ridicule us, saying that although there are thousands of miles of territory in the north, there is not even a half-foot railway. Everyone was scolded so much that they couldn't raise their heads. If you were stimulated, how could you not be angry? Therefore, Premier Duan also said: 'I Duan Tiemin is also a personality! If I don't build a few thousand miles of railways, I will write my name upside down!' President Feng made the decision on the spot: 'We will pay 4 million yuan in Jiangsu, and ask them to pay 4 million yuan in Zhili. Let's talk about it for a few thousand miles of railways. Anji, how much does your Ministry of Transportation pay?"
"At that time, the Ministry of Transportation mainly relied on the annual profit of more than 3 million yuan by the Trade Bureau. I was just a director, but I dared to say: 'Our Ministry of Transportation guaranteed 10 million yuan!' I was not finished yet, and the governor of Shandong Wang also spoke: 'Old Feng, you Jiangsu has this courage, and I will also pay 4 million yuan, all the way from your Jiangsu to our Shandong!"
"In this way, everyone was so angry that they could not help but breathe. They raised more than 30 million yuan in project funds here. With this starting fund, our Ministry of Transportation will try every means to make money and build Pinghan and Jinpu, which are 3,800 miles apart. Although the Southern Railway was built early, the total number is only more than 1,000 miles! In terms of railways, our Ministry of Transportation can make a lot of money for our northerners!"
Most of them are from the northern regions. After hearing this, they couldn't help but applaud. Liu Jingxiao was thinking secretly that if he became prosperous in the future, he would have to build a few miles of railways to play. Only Murong Xuehai said: "Now the Shen family is getting more and more closed! This is not good!"
No one noticed this sentence. Li Anji was proud, and suddenly grabbed her clothes in a hurry and jumped off the table quickly. Only then did everyone realize that the two waitresses who had just brought two more breakfasts to Li Anji.
Let’s not talk about how Anji Li ate these two big breakfasts. Let’s continue to talk about this itinerary. Director Li is advising him along the way, which can be said to be peaceful all the way.
However, everyone finally understood what happened that "most of the Pinghan Railway was connected". It turned out that the several iron bridges on the rivers that the railway passed by were still under construction, and the day of completion was nowhere to be achieved. There were indeed a group of capable people in China who were proficient in language and writing.
Fortunately, the Chinese are the best at dealing with inspections from superiors. As soon as the train arrives, several steamboats have been waiting there, and the station manager is personally serving them. Of course, this is the result of Director Li's personal "visit in a micro-dress". Ordinary passengers do not have this blessing.
However, at the moment of stopping, Liu Jingxiao received several telegrams from Ding Chong, urging him to speed up: "I hope you can come quickly, the military and civilians of Hubei Province are looking forward to it day and night. The border army can conquer and fight well will be of great use..."
It’s just that it’s still a lot of time to transport so many people across the river, but when the troops are transported across the river, the trains have already been prepared there.
Of course, after all, the conditions here are difficult, so Lord Li Anji could only condescend to take a dining car.
However, every dining car is equipped with a beautiful waiter familiar to Director Li, and Director Li is going to have more and more large breakfasts.
However, since there is such efficiency, Anji's prediction completely failed, and it only took five days to arrive at Hankou Railway Station.
Accompanied by the whistle of the whistle and the beautiful voice of the waitress: "Dear travelers! Arrival at Hankou Station, wait to pack your luggage..." Liu Jingxiao tidied up her clothes, and thought that Wang Zichun would definitely not come to greet her, but Ding Chong is a good man and will most likely come to the train station to greet her. When she thought of this, the officers would pay attention to the instrument.
Everyone knows that the military uniform is still sold by the military, and I have been wearing it for more than a year and have more time to travel in the wild, so I look a little ragged at first glance, so I have to use my military posture to make up for the shortcomings.
Wanyan Yuzhuo helped her husband to sort out her appearance. When she nodded, Liu Jingxiao felt relieved. At this time, the train stopped in place.
Liu Jingxiao opened the car door and looked out, ready to jump out of the car, but the scene in front of him made him look stunned.
