Release that Witch

The next day, No Winter City ushered in the fourth holiday after the fall, and it was the first weekend of Zhongqiu.

Since there is no such thing as a Genesis in the world, for most people, they have to be busy all the time to fill their stomachs. Since Roland’s promulgation of the stipulations of the seven-day break, the people have given this gratitude to his head to be able to rest completely for a day, and will not deduct the salary. What kind of picky is the lord of such kindness and love?

Especially after the migrants who moved from the field experienced the living environment without the winter city, they all settled down here, even if the city hall’s publicity about the devil did not curb this momentum. Hunger and poor, even the threat of the devil has become less important.

However, Barov’s report shows that after the official opening of the rest day system, the production of no winter city has not been affected too much. The main reason is that rest is not mandatory, and there are many people who choose to continue working and earn extra compensation. However, the city’s trade behavior has grown substantially. On weekends, the square area is always overcrowded. Not only the local merchants, but even the foreign traders are swaying. They choose to open the sale on this day and spend the rest of the time on the acquisition. Western products featured and resold to other places.

This week-long flow of goods was unimaginable a year ago, but now with the growing number of cement ships, the pace of trade has become more rapid. Like the inland big city of Chishui City, you can even eat fresh sea fish that are made from the port of Shoal and immersed in ice. In the past, the nobility and merchants there could only eat salted and dried fish.

In view of this, Roland simply put the major publicity, achievements, and various awards ceremonies on the rest day, and through the habits of the masses to further promote the active trade of commercial so-called wool out of the sheep, pay more It is completely worthwhile to get back from buying and selling taxes and consumption.

Today's weekend is no exception. The warmth of the summer has not yet dissipated. The cloudless blue sky is blowing the breeze, which is obviously a good weather for travel. On the street, people are moving, from the river dock area to the north wall of the city, you can see the people waiting for you everywhere.

The difference is that they are not buying a few pounds of good meat to go to the convenience market, but waiting to witness the new invention of His Majesty the King.

The first trial run of an unprecedented vehicle "train".

Jewel merchant Victor is also one of them.

After learning about the propaganda of the city hall, he even threw a big deal that he was talking about to the subordinates. He even took a cement boat from the old king to the winter city.

Victor is undoubtedly one of those who have a very strong touch on the changes in the West. When he was still a remote town, he visited the landlord. For the person in charge, he did not leave much impression. He only remembered that he was a middle-aged aristocrat with a bloated body. He complained about his own management of this barren land. If it is not occasional to get one or two pieces of fine gemstone from the other hand, he is estimated to stop at the long song fortress.

Even so, Victor has visited the West at most once a year, and no matter when he comes, this Bianque town is almost as old and decaying as the previous year. However, in the past three years, he has come here more frequently, especially after Roland Wimbledon announced the establishment of the city, basically reached the level of once a month.

The west of the Grey Fort seems to have become another world.

Here, the day is no longer a day, but a month; the same month is no longer a month, but a year, otherwise it is difficult for him to explain why the change of the winter city can quickly reach this point.

Victor walked into a street-facing pub, and the boss immediately smiled and greeted him. "I knew you would come, and I specially left you a window seat on the third floor."

He took out a silver wolf and threw it to the other party. "Take me up."

"Yes, please come with me."

As a frequent visitor to this pub, Victor naturally does not have to choose to crowd the streets with civilians. Although there are many people gathered on the third floor, at least the vision is much wider.

The people around are already talking about the show today.

"That narrow street is the way the train will go? It’s too far from the central square and the residential area."

"The street? I didn't know, it was called the track system, the things used in the mining area." Then someone laughed and said, "Since it is not for people, of course, it is farther away from people. You think the train is a carriage!"

"What do you mean by the shop in the silver mine hole?"

“Yes, it was originally produced here and needs to be used with a steam engine.”

Victor couldn't help but join in the fun. "I have seen the trailer pulled by the steam engine. The advantage is that it doesn't care about the terrain. If you put it on the ground, the Hummer can replace it. So this is the case, the city hall should not promote it. Become a "transportation tool across the ages"? ”

"Maybe it's just a gimmick." Another person muttered.

"Go," there was a buzzing sound immediately around. "You haven't come to the winter city for the first time? Roland can never boast of this aspect of Haikou."

The man was too convinced to say something, and there was a whistling whistle in the distance.

"呜"

"Come on, it's coming!" The room suddenly boiled up, everyone was going out of the window and staring at the small street on one side of the castle area. Some of the preparers had already pulled out of their arms. Lookout.

Victor also looks at the source of the sound

I saw a black long dragon slowly coming out of the sheltered house, and it was reflected in the eyes of everyone. Its size is huge, its head is like an iron bucket on the wheel, and the top of the bucket is sprayed out of the gray smoke, which is exactly the same as when the steam engine is running.

Next to the front of the car, there is also a four-wheeled carriage that is pulled by two horses. The speed is the same as that of the train. It looks like it is in the middle of each other. However, it is quite difficult for every step of the horse to be filled with a box of ore. This can be seen from the fact that the driver is constantly waving the whip. If the iron casting wheel is not used, the carriage may have been crushed. .

As the train gradually showed its full picture, Victor couldn't help but feel the goose bumps behind him.

There are one and one carriage behind the front of the car. They almost all have four or five carriages, and they are also filled with ore. From the weight point of view, I am afraid that it is comparable to a riverboat dedicated to transportation. It is.

The problem is that it carries several train cars at the same time!

The people’s exclamations are endless!

"Four...fourth!"

"Five!"

"Is it impossible to have it later?"

"God is on, six!"

"Come out, the seventh!"

Like a monster, the front of the car dragged the entire seven trains, passing through the open space in front of the castle at an extremely steady speed.

The questions in Victor’s mind have also been answered.

A steam engine fixed at the mine entrance, dedicated to the mine car in and out, and a steam engine capable of autonomous operation are completely different concepts.

The latter means that as long as the rail is built, it can transport a large shipment. Weight is no longer a bottleneck limiting land transport, but it is more powerful than shipping. If he is willing, he can even evacuate a city in a short time.

Victor, who is a family of merchants, naturally knows the importance of transportation. It is not unreasonable that most cities are built near rivers. The emergence of such a vehicle will bring unlimited possibilities for the flow of resources. The cross-aged argument is not exaggerated at all.

He felt an indescribable rush to the heart. There was satisfaction and loss in it... He felt that he was witnessing history, but he was abandoned by history in other kingdoms. The lords still indulged in the sound of dogs and horses, their The way of travel is still horses and horses, and their roads are still covered with blue bricks and muddy.

But they are completely ignorant and used to it.

Victor couldn’t help but think of a thought.

The future has arrived, except that it is not evenly distributed.
