The heavens start from saving Daming

Zeng Erlang is the youngest son of the old Zeng family. Because his family is poor and his appearance is not so outstanding, he is in his 20s and has not yet married a wife.

The two brothers in his family also had a sister, and only the eldest married a daughter-in-law through a sister-in-law exchange. Zeng Erlang was either in a daze or went around peeking at the eldest daughter and the younger daughter-in-law of each family during his slack.

No way, the family is too poor to afford to marry.

Whenever night fell, Zeng Erlang tossed and turned over and over again, listening to the knocking and calling from the eldest brother's room, and he almost stabbed the bed board.

It's not a problem to stay like this all the time, so when Li Yunze took over the river dredging project in Chang'an City, Zeng Erlang went to Chang'an City to open his eyes and join the ranks of migrant workers with the temptation of extra money.

Everything in Chang'an City dazzled these older rural youths, and their hearts were extremely shocked.

At that time, I swore in front of my companions that one day I would move into Chang'an City and become a city dweller.

His companions ridiculed him for his ignorance, and then they started to brag and fart.

When I was working in Chang'an City, I dredged various rivers during the day, and after dinner at night, I was basically bragging and farting, and then went to bed.

Although Li Yunze opened a night school and spent a lot of money to invite scholars to teach reading and literacy, there are not many people who are willing to learn.

The main reason is that I am too tired to work during the day, and I really don't have the spirit.At the same time, when I get older, I feel that my whole life has already been finalized. What kind of education should I go to at this time? Do I still want to take the imperial examination?
Zeng Erlang insisted on going to night school, even if he was too tired, he would never miss any class.

At the beginning, of course, I don't know anything. As a teacher, a scholar only teaches, and he doesn't care whether he learns or not.

Many companions who attended night school also gradually quit for various reasons.

Zeng Erlang, who wanted to change his destiny, was still holding on. Even during his spare time during the day, he didn't talk to his companions about where there were half-closed doors. Instead, he squatted on the ground and practiced the words he learned last night with a branch.

So it has been persisted until the end of the dredging project.

When the project was over, the night school was cancelled, and everyone went home, Zeng Erlang still felt unfulfilled, but it was a pity that there was no chance.

After returning home, Zeng Erlang no longer peeked at other girls and daughters-in-law. He either squatted outside private schools in the village to eavesdrop, or wrote and drew on the ground.

Everyone in the village made fun of him for being insane, and the muddy legs still wanted to change his fate.

Later, the construction of the railway began to call for corvee. Zeng Erlang learned that Li Jiazhuang was in charge of this matter, so he took the initiative to take over the corvee for his elder brother.

Unsurprisingly, there was a night school at the construction site at night.

Because Zeng Erlang knew a lot of characters, after studying for a period of time, he was recommended to take classes in the railway technical school.

This time, he directly broke away from the work on the construction site and began to learn professional knowledge.

The first is mathematics.

Perhaps because of his perseverance, or perhaps because of his talent, Zeng Erlang was sent to the advanced class with excellent results after nearly a year of study.

The content taught in the advanced class is very professional.

From railway maintenance, to scheduling and scheduling and so on.

Those who can come here to study are outstanding talents who stand out from hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Except for the practical class, they didn't have to go to the construction site to work in the wind and sun. They studied hard for a year, and they didn't pass the assessment until the railway was about to open to traffic. They graduated and were assigned to work in various places along the line.

Zeng Erlang was very lucky. He was assigned to work as a dispatcher at Chang'an East Railway Station. With a super high income of two yuan a month, he lived in a house allocated by the railway company and became a real city resident.

You know, even a fourth-rank official in the imperial court can earn about four pennies a month.

Zeng Erlang also has additional allowances and various in-kind rewards.

When he returned to his hometown village on vacation, the threshold of the house was trampled down by the matchmaker.

The eldest brother always babbled that it was Zeng Erlang who robbed him of the opportunity, if he was the one who went to work in the corvee, what would happen.

For this kind of complaining words, Zeng Erlang, who had opened his eyes, just smiled and said nothing.

For an illiterate like his elder brother, if he really went to a technical school, he wouldn't even be able to go to an evening school.

After rejecting the village blind date proposed by his parents and leaving behind gifts and belongings, Zeng Erlang left his hometown village.

The village is nice and has memories of my childhood, but I want to go outside and see.

Zeng Erlang, who returned to Chang'an City, took several of his apprentices with all his heart, and tried his best to train them all, so as to get rid of his fate of facing the loess with his back to the sky, open his eyes to see the world, and it is worthwhile to come to this world to embark on the journey. Once.

Then on this day, the second wife of Lijiazhuang came to the station.

When Wu Meiniang, who was wearing a long skirt embroidered with gold strokes and a red cotton cloak, got off the gorgeous carriage, all the people who were waiting here stared straight at the notice.

Although he was young, his bearing and demeanor really made everyone's heart beat like a deer.

He raised his hand and opened the hood, revealing his black hair like clouds and mist, and stepped forward like a little phoenix about to fly.

The earrings were shining, and Wu Meiniang, who was wearing the gold hairpin, clapped her hands, "You are all excellent employees of the company, and your abilities have been recognized by everyone."

Listening to that clear and sweet voice, Zeng Erlang and the others felt their scalps tingle.

God is sorry to see, apart from going to Pingkangfang, the daughter of the owner of the grocery store is the most prestigious girl they can get in touch with every day.

Facing the daughter of the duke of the state, the person in charge of the Li family village at this time, I really felt my scalp tingle.

"After the opening of the line from Chang'an City to Luoyang City, a lot of people are needed along the line. You are all excellent employees. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in the advanced advanced training. Qualified graduates can get a [-]% bonus salary."

Wu Meiniang chattered for a while, and finally stepped aside, and a strong man continued the conversation.

The man first saluted Wu Meiniang respectfully, but straightened up and turned his face, but his face was frosty, "You don't need to know the identity of this officer. You just need to know that this officer will become your instructor."

"What you will learn next will be the sharp weapon of the country, the most important treasure of the country! Whoever dares to leak it is not just a matter of losing your own head."

After the man finished speaking, he waved his hand vigorously, "You have three days to go home to take care of housework, and after three days, we will gather here and send you to do training."

Everyone dispersed. On the way home, Zeng Erlang was so excited that he just went straight to the grocery store without going in.

He was going to propose to the grocer's daughter!

At the station, when the man who had a stern look in front of the workers before turned around to face Wu Meiniang, he simply bent down and said words full of warmth, "Second lady, don't worry, the next official must When painstaking efforts are made to train them to operate electricity
The skills of the stage are guaranteed to be learned by everyone. "

Wu Meiniang, who was obviously thinking about something, smiled faintly, "I'm sorry."

With the commencement of construction of the railway from Chang'an City to Luoyang City, the early training work will naturally start in advance.

One of the most important things is to train those dispatchers to learn to operate the radio station.

If there are too many trains, there must be reasonable scheduling, otherwise accidents will easily occur.

In this regard, nothing can be more convenient than the radio.

It is not easy to operate the radio station, and it can only be selected and trained from these basic dispatchers.

As for the scholars of Datang, most of them are not even qualified for admission, because their mathematics is super bad.

After tidying up her mind, Wu Meiniang showed a smile, "Captain Wu, has the matter of stealing been done a while ago?"

Hearing this, Wu Yan immediately showed an angry expression, "What a bunch of bastards, they dared to pick up cars and steal. Baiqisi has already arrested everyone, even the guys who sold the stolen goods. That's it. "

He said a little embarrassedly, "Many sheep have been eaten."

A few days ago, Li Yunze arranged for a truck to transport a large batch of merino sheep from Chang'an City to Shengzhou, where they would be sent across the Yellow River and handed over to the obedient tribes assigned by the Tang army to raise them.

I never thought that on the way, a group of locals actually took advantage of the opportunity of the train to turn and slow down to climb into the train.

Hundreds of sheep with several wagons were thrown off the train, most of them were killed and injured, and none of them were found in the end.

The news came to Chang'an City by telegram, and Li Er was furious.

Li Er, who regarded the train as the wings of the Tang Dynasty, valued the safety most, and immediately ordered Baiqisi to arrest him within a time limit.

Wu Yan personally led the team to drive there by train, and soon arrested all the local people who were picking up the train.

Those people also plausibly called for grievances, "We rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water."Our house is right next to the railway, so it’s fine if we don’t dismantle the railway tracks and sell it, and it’s not a big deal to get some things. '

The consequences of this incident are serious.

Those who pick up cars and sell stolen goods are naturally dealt with by law, but the local county magistrate was locked up and taken away by people from Dali Temple who came by train the next day.

In a higher state, from the governor to Biejia, from the long history to the recorder to join the army, and even Liu Cao were dismissed and investigated.

All of a sudden, the court was shaken up and down.

It is precisely because of this vibration that states and counties along the way have frantically strengthened education and lectures, and the seriousness of patrolling and arresting.

Things that happened from time to time, such as picking up trains, boarding trains without buying tickets, forcibly stopping trains and forcibly boarding trains to transport goods and deliver people, etc., disappeared as far as the naked eye could see.

Yamen is like this, they usually turn a blind eye to it.

But once the top really hits hard, they will immediately get serious to ensure that they don't become the next one.

"It's work."

Wu Meiniang smiled, looked up at the snowflakes gradually falling from the sky, but there was a stone in her heart.

Wu Yan naturally knew why. There was already a lot of noise inside and outside Chang'an City about the emperor's intention to betroth his eldest daughter, Princess Changle, to Villa Master Li.

However, he was determined not to say a word about this kind of thing.

It's not his turn to participate.

"Yesterday, Yanzhou sent a telegram, saying that there were gangsters demolishing the railroad tracks, and the officials wanted to rush over to arrange disposal." Wu Yan chose to run away very conscientiously, "Let me go first."

Since the opening of the Changsheng Railway, from Chang'an City to Shengzhou for more than a thousand miles, many things along the way can be known on the same day, and can be reached in two days at most.

The speed and efficiency of its information acquisition has already broken the ceiling of imagination.

In contrast, even if it is very close to Huazhou, it can only take a few days to know what is going on, and the transportation is through messengers and horseback riding.

With such a striking contrast, everyone from Li Er to Chaotang has devoted great enthusiasm to the railway.

After Wu Yan put oil on the soles of her feet and ran away, Wu Meiniang got into the carriage with her skirt and "returned to the village."

The matter of Princess Changle was very uncomfortable, she was determined to ask the master to find out!
