The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi have been busy laying railway tracks for a while. Xie Yiyao is worried that if the tracks are not laid up to standard, it will leave hidden dangers in the future, so she is particularly serious.

She would have the system carefully check every section of track laid by Liu Mu and Zhang Zhongdan to ensure that there were no omissions before she would feel at ease.

So, basically every day she would get up at dawn, have a simple breakfast, and then go to take a look at the section where the railway tracks were laid.

After inspecting the newly laid tracks today, she decided to go to the Royal Academy of Sciences as it was still early.

She didn't care much about other things. What she was most concerned about at the moment was how the locomotive was being manufactured.

She didn't mean that someone had to be able to build a locomotive, but she hoped that at least someone understood the principles of how the train operated.

In the future, if there is any problem with the train, someone will be able to fix it even if she is not there, and that is enough.

In the Royal Academy of Sciences, Zhang Qianfan was competing with Liu Hong. After such a long period of research, he finally made the locomotive!

Looking at Liu Hong's unfinished locomotive, Zhang Qianfan worked even harder in his heart to prevent Liu Hong from laughing at him. He decided to dampen his enthusiasm this time!

Zhang Qianfan had a messy hair, two big dark circles under his eyes, and he had lost a lot of weight. Because he had to frequently test the operation of the locomotive on the simulated railroad tracks in the yard, he was a little tanned, and his clothes were wrinkled. He looked extremely disheveled and had no appearance of a homeless person.

At this moment, he no longer looks like the elegant and noble man he used to be. If you don’t know him, you might think he is a refugee who came to Yanjing to escape from war!

“Hahaha~, I’m finally going to succeed!”

Zhang Qianfan shouted excitedly, then looked at Liu Hong provocatively.

When Liu Hong heard his shout, he looked up at Zhang Qianfan, then looked at the locomotive on his side that was almost completed, and his hands' movements couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Zhang Qianfan crawled to the locomotive and started to ignite it, while glancing at Liu Hong sideways.

The little guy still wanted to fight with him. In order to let the craftsmen make the parts he needed as soon as possible, he spent a lot of money and secretly sold his mother several pieces of jewelry!

The craftsmen in the workshop looked at the huge amount of silver and then gritted their teeth and worked overtime overnight to make it for him!

But Zhang Qianfan worked on the locomotive for a long time but still failed to ignite it. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

That's impossible! He made everything according to the Queen's drawings!

While Liu Hong was busy with his own work, he secretly paid attention to the situation on Zhang Qianfan's side.

In fact, after being in the Academy of Sciences for such a long time, he has already recognized Zhang Qianfan in his heart. At first, he thought that Zhang Qianfan was just a playboy who thought the Academy of Sciences was fun and came here to play for a few days.

So they didn't take him seriously, and even felt a little contempt for him in their hearts.

But after spending some time together, he found out that he was wrong. Although Zhang Qianfan had the common problems of those young masters from wealthy families, he was really serious about doing things and had a smart mind.

He was just a child spoiled by his parents, but he was essentially a good person. He studied knowledge seriously, never bullied men or women, and he was even often seen seeing injustice and punishing those young men from noble families who molested common women.

He saw Zhang Qianfan busying himself on the locomotive for a long time without success, so he walked over curiously and observed it carefully.

Zhang Qianfan was confused as to what happened to his train today and was scratching his head anxiously. At this moment, he saw Wang Yi coming over and knocking and patting his train. He suddenly felt embarrassed and angry, thinking that Liu Hong was here to laugh at him.

"Huh! Are you here to laugh at me?"

So, he said to Liu Hong with a fierce face.

"Who am I to laugh at you? You have at least completed the locomotive, while I have only just begun to work on it. Go ahead and start the engine, and I'll see if I can help you figure out what went wrong."

Zhang Qianfan was a little angry at first, but when he heard Liu Hong's answer, his expression improved a little, and he obediently started to light the fire.

Liu Hong kept circling the locomotive for several circles. He looked at Zhang Qianfan with some uncertainty:

"Is there something wrong with your spark plugs and ignition coils?"

Zhang Qianfan was sweating anxiously in the car. When he heard what Liu Hong said, he slapped his thigh!

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"

So he quickly jumped out of the car. Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi stood in the distance and watched Zhang Qianfan and Liu Hong.

Her face was full of appreciative smiles; these two people were smarter than she had thought.

Xie Yiyao suddenly felt that she had really underestimated these ancient people. It was not that they were stupid, they were just limited by their backward civilization. If you give them the same things, they might not do worse than modern people.

"Why are you here, Queen?"

Zhang Qianfan was the first to notice Xie Yiyao, and he looked at her in disbelief.

"I just came to see how your research is going."

When Xie Yiyao saw that Zhang Qianfan had noticed her, she simply walked forward.

"Your Majesty, come and see my locomotive! Isn't it cool?"

When Zhang Qianfan heard Xie Yiyao ask this, his eyes lit up and he wanted to show Xie Yiyao the results of his recent work.

Xie Yiyao approached and carefully observed the locomotive that Zhang Qianfan had just built. Then, she smiled and said to the craftsmen who were helping Zhang Qianfan with satisfaction:

"Thank you for your hard work during this period."

When the craftsmen saw Xie Yiyao speaking to them so kindly, their faces suddenly turned red with excitement.

They were the craftsmen assigned to Zhang Qianfan to build trains. They had been working day and night with Zhang Qianfan during this period. It would be a lie to say that they had no complaints. But all their complaints were dispelled by Xie Yiyao's words "thank you for your hard work".

Everyone was smiling with a simple and honest look on their faces. At this moment, the worker who went to check the spark plugs and ignition coils had already finished. They reported excitedly:

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Master Zhang, do you want to try again now?"

"Try! Of course I'll try!"

After hearing this, Zhang Qianfan climbed onto the locomotive with excitement and began to skillfully start the engine.

The train's long whistle sounded, and accompanied by a rumbling sound, the locomotive really started moving slowly on the rails!

All the craftsmen in the yard stared at the big guy they built with wide eyes, and it actually moved!

"Success! We finally succeeded!"

There were bursts of cheers in the courtyard of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and the craftsmen who followed Zhang Qianfan were so excited that they couldn't help shouting!

However, the craftsmen who followed Liu Hong seemed a little frustrated. They had been working day and night with Lord Liu during this period.

However, Lord Liu of their family did not have the wealth of Lord Zhang, and could not afford to spend a lot of money, so he could not ask the craftsmen of the parts manufacturing factory to rush the work for them, and that was why Lord Zhang got there first.

In fact, they had a hunch that as long as Lord Liu was given time, Lord Wang would be able to build the train!

"Feng Junyi, confer the title of Xuanhua Marquis on Zhang Qianfan, a title that can be inherited for three generations! Then give each of the workers who work for him a house."

Seeing that the train she had long dreamed of was finally built, Xie Yiyao of course fulfilled her original promise without hesitation.

Conferring the title of marquis on Zhang Qianfan is equivalent to giving him the title of academician, the only difference is that academicians are only for one generation, but Zhang Qianfan's title is for three generations.

The reason she did this was to tell everyone in Da Deng how much the court valued the Royal Academy of Sciences and scientists.

Zhang Qianfan scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this. In fact, he only built the locomotive according to the Queen Mother's drawings. He was just contributing his part. The real hero was the Queen Mother, and he really didn't deserve it.

"Empress, I... I just copied the train and built it. Besides, it was Liu Hong who helped me find the reason why I couldn't start the train."

Zhang Qianfan almost called out Liu Hong, but when he thought of his father pulling his ear and admonishing him every day to be careful when speaking in front of Xie Yiyao, otherwise Liu would twist his head off and kick it like a ball, he was so scared that he quickly changed his words.
