Chapter 403 [402] Caught Another Fish
Qinglin Railway Station.
In order to welcome the arrival of the Vice Palace Master, the entire platform has been decorated quite splendidly, with no less than ten thousand flower pots alone.
"Ding ling! Ding ling!"
The crisp sound of the bell instantly spread across the wide platform of the station.
A railway conductor dressed in a formal suit shouted as politely as possible, "Everyone, get ready for departure!"
A band that had been waiting on the side, also the best band in Qinglin City, immediately played a cheerful tune.
Each beautiful female attendant, dressed in a neat uniform and wearing exquisite makeup, immediately lined up and boarded the train.
Every female attendant had a great figure and a beautiful face.
If they were to walk on the street like this, from elderly men to five-year-old children, they would definitely take a second look.
This lineup was also an exclusive treatment for important figures.
Under normal circumstances, each train would have six carriages at most, or as few as three carriages, with the number of attendants usually ranging from five to ten.
The attendants were just ordinary people.
But today was an extremely special situation. This train only had three carriages, but the Council had gathered twenty-four beautiful women with excellent looks.
In the luxurious first carriage.
Cheng Han quickly glanced at a woman through the large glass window of the carriage, and his gaze flickered.
Qian Changyun, who had come along for the fun, stared in astonishment at the graceful figures, unable to close his mouth.
The expression of this eight-year-old child was enough to show just how high the quality of these beauties was.
It wasn't until the last beauty twisted her waist and disappeared from the window's view that Qian Changyun reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
He sighed in his heart, "The treatment for important figures is truly enviable!"
Qian Changyun caught a glimpse of his sister's disapproving gaze and couldn't help but dryly laugh, "I'm just curious, where did the railway station find so many beautiful women?"
Qian Qingqing smiled ambiguously, "Just now, your nose was pressed against the glass, and you got a little bit of dirt on it. You'd better wipe it off."
Qian Changyun was startled and instinctively touched the tip of his nose.
"Pfft!"
The little girl couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Qian Changyun lowered his head and looked at his clean fingers, then glanced at his sister, who was smiling beautifully. He knew that he had been tricked again.
He turned his head with a sullen expression and grumbled, "You're so mean!"
Cheng Han couldn't help but smile.
"Ding ling!"
The bell rang again.
"Activate the Crystal Furnace!"
"Activated!"
Faint shouts could be heard.
Cheng Han suddenly spoke up, "Previously, the Tianyun Hall only established a track system in the Xuan Palace and had no intention of building tracks in the various small spirit realms.
"In my opinion, this is a great waste and a narrow-minded behavior!"
This was also one of the important reasons why he decided to remove the previous head of the Tianyun Hall from power.
In another timeline, trains had a profound impact on human civilization.
The fact that the track system, such a good thing, was kept hidden in the Xuan Palace by the Tianyun Hall was simply absurd!
Qian Qingqing agreed with this, saying, "With the track system, the cost of goods transportation between cities will greatly decrease, and ordinary people can buy cheaper products."
Qian Changyun didn't understand much about these things, but he listened attentively.
Cheng Han continued, "A few days ago, the Science and Magic Research Institute launched a new project, which is to use magic-powered internal combustion engines to replace crystal energy. The first experimental prototype will be seen in three months."
The jurisdiction of the Tianyun Hall not only included transportation airships, but also the track system.
After he successfully developed the Blaze Eagle last time, driving away the former deputy palace master and taking control of the Tianyun Hall, he naturally started a large number of new projects.
He directly mentioned the cost, "Brown oil is cheaper than gray crystal. According to the internal calculations of the research institute, if we switch to internal combustion engine track cars, transportation costs can be reduced by more than 80%.
"In the near future, the average prices of goods in Qinglin City can be reduced by 20 to 30%."
Qian Qingqing's face was filled with admiration, "This is an amazing thing!"
She paused for a moment and added, "The changes you have brought to Taian have exceeded the past thousand years."
Qian Changyun was a bit confused, "Why would the establishment of a track system lead to such a significant decrease in prices?"
The young girl smiled and explained, "You may not know, but the transportation cost alone accounts for more than 40% of the cost of many goods."
She casually picked up an exquisitely crafted glass cup, "Take this glass cup for example. The main raw material, quartz sand, comes from a mine in Beiteng City, while the other materials come from Anhua City and Qinglin City.
"Previously, it would cost at least three gold coins to transport one ton of goods from Anhua City to Beiteng City. With the transportation of raw materials and finished products, one ton of goods would cost six gold coins.
"In this way, how could the price of goods be low?"
Qian Changyun finally understood, "Brother-in-law is amazing!"
He finally realized that this track, in fact, had such a profound impact on the lives of every ordinary person.
Cheng Han silently smiled, "I have always believed that if a technology cannot serve ordinary people, it will be meaningless."
Since he had mentioned building "a world on wheels," he naturally had to follow through. Taian was just a sample of his transformation.
As they spoke, the train carriage suddenly shook lightly.
The platform outside the train window began to slowly move backward.
The tram started!
Led by the Grand Chancellor Yu Xianglong, a large group of officials gathered on the platform immediately made a gesture of farewell.
Cheng Han just glanced at them and showed no intention of returning the gesture.
With his current high position, besides the Palace Master of Xuan Palace, no one was qualified to make him do so.
After a few seconds.
"Boom! Boom!"
The door of the luxurious compartment suddenly knocked.
Qian Qingqing turned her head and responded, "Come in!"
The next moment.
The door was pushed open.
A beautiful woman with a prominent figure quickly entered the compartment and respectfully said, "Vice Palace Master, lunch is ready!"
Today's lunch was arranged on this tram.
And while enjoying the food and watching the scenery along the way, it was also carefully prepared by Qinglin City.
Cheng Han nodded, "Let's begin."
The beautiful woman respectfully responded and turned around to shout, "Prepare the meal!"
A large group of beautiful women quickly rushed in.
Although Qian Changyun was still young, he could truly appreciate the dazzling beauty of this group of women up close.
Soon.
A folding dining table was set up, various utensils were neatly arranged, and exquisite delicacies were served.
After everything was prepared.
Three of the beautiful women stayed as waitresses, while the rest bowed neatly and exited the compartment.
Lunch began.
*
Ten minutes later.
A lush green hillside happened to come into view through the window.
There was also a clear river flowing in the distance.
Such a scenery could be described as a beautiful painting.
Qian Changyun stared blankly at the scene and murmured with a hint of regret, "I think Mom and Dad should have come with us."
Enjoying delicious food, admiring the beautiful scenery, and having a group of beautiful women by his side, it was truly an unparalleled enjoyment.
This child suddenly felt sincerely grateful. If it weren't for this brother-in-law, he probably would never have had such an experience in his lifetime!
My luck is really good!
Across the dining table.
Cheng Han took a sip of freshly squeezed juice and suddenly heard a vibrating sound.
"Buzz!"
A soul thread appeared out of thin air.
The figure of the black cat flashed by, and a series of information followed.
Cheng Han put down his glass and suddenly asked, "I heard that there have been many strange incidents at various construction sites during the construction of the tram?"
Qian Qingqing was taken aback for a moment and immediately replied, "That's true! In the past few months, the 'Earth Devouring Worms' have appeared unusually frequently, more than five times the usual."
"Even the Tai'an Xuan Pavilion felt that this was too abnormal and sent two Xuan Masters to investigate, but they didn't find any problems."
"The Xuan Pavilion believes that this should be due to the excessive rainfall in the spring this year, which caused a large number of Earth Devouring Worms to appear."
The term "Earth Devouring Worms" in this sentence refers to a type of earth-based anomaly that particularly likes to appear on rainy days in the spring and summer seasons.
As one of the main suppliers for this project, the little girl was very familiar with many things that happened during the construction of the tram. She had even personally killed an Earth Devouring Worm.
Cheng Han nodded without expressing his opinion, "I understand."
But in his heart, he muttered, "The police chief investigated before and suspected that the Earth Devouring Worms were related to the Prayer Society. These followers of the strange gods can seek the power of the Snake Lady in secret. It's normal that the Xuan Pavilion couldn't find anything."
Qian Qingqing felt that something was amiss, "Is there a problem?"
Cheng Han smiled, "I think we will find out soon."
The little girl was startled, "Could the tram be in danger?"
Qian Changyun's chopsticks suddenly stopped, and a look of nervousness appeared on his young face.
The three beautiful waitresses beside him also became uneasy.
Cheng Han comforted with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing major will happen."
In his heart, he added, "This time, I might be able to catch a big fish again!"
He was wandering around Qinglin City, riding the tram, partly to witness the changes in his hometown, and partly to try to seduce some people.
From the current signs, it seemed that this move was successful.
Cheng Han looked at the waitresses and ordered, "Do you have someone named 'Yu Yulan' among you?"
The leading beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Reporting to Vice Palace Master, yes!"
Cheng Han commanded, "Bring her in!"
He had sensed something different about this woman, so he ordered the black cat to investigate.
And the investigation results showed that there was indeed a significant problem in a certain section ahead.
Although the beautiful woman was full of doubts, she obediently responded, "Yes! Please wait a moment!"
