The next day, Xie Yiyao got up early. She no longer had to get up early and stay up late to revise the law. Xie Yiyao had a rare leisurely breakfast.

After breakfast, she went to her own space to practice for a while. When she calculated that the time was about right, she left the space to look for Feng Junyi.

Feng Junyi had just finished his morning court session. Unlike Xie Yiyao, he did not have a strong appetite and basically did not eat much. When he saw Xie Yiyao coming over, he took her directly to check the railroad tracks.

"Are you so confident in Feng Junmo? It will take us at least half a month to check all the railway tracks in the country. Can he do it?"

Xie Yiyao was a little worried that Feng Junmo couldn't handle it alone, so she couldn't help but ask Feng Junyi.

"He has taken your marrow cleansing pill and has been with me for almost three years. He can definitely take charge on his own."

Feng Junyi was very confident in Feng Junmo. He believed that with Xie Yiyao's elixir, even the most ordinary person could be reborn, not to mention the prince who had received a good education.

Xie Yiyao knew that Feng Junmo would have to face it alone sooner or later, and this time was a test for him so she didn't say anything more.

As time was running out, Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi were in a hurry along the way. However, Xie Yiyao was relieved that Liu Mu had kept the problems detected by the system in mind, and no similar errors occurred during the subsequent laying of railroad tracks.

Overall, their inspection of the rails went relatively smoothly, with only some minor flaws, which were corrected in a timely manner.

"What is this?"

Xie Yiyao was feeling a little bored after checking the railroad tracks. She was walking around to look at the newly built railway when her attention was attracted by a thick notebook in Liu Mu's hand. She asked with some confusion.

"Hehe~, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I am afraid of making the same mistake again in the future, so I will record all the problems you raised before and the methods for improvement in this notebook and look through it from time to time."

Liu Mu scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He was a rough man who usually only did some rough work during marching and fighting. This was the first time he was assigned to do such delicate work. He was worried about making mistakes, so he thought about it day and night and finally came up with this good idea. It seems to be working well so far.

Xie Yiyao didn't expect that Liu Mu, who looked like a big and strong man, could be so thoughtful. She admired Liu Mu's pragmatic style and said to him with admiration.

"Yeah, that's good! It's a good habit!"

After Xie Yiyao finished speaking, she looked at Feng Junyi. Feng Junyi understood what Xie Yiyao meant and immediately said:

"General Liu also made great contributions to the construction of the railway. He was given the title of Anxin Earl, which will be hereditary for three generations. He was also awarded 1000 taels of gold and a Earl's mansion."

Liu Mu was already so excited after hearing Xie Yiyao's praise that he was a little overwhelmed. He didn't expect there would be something even more exciting. He looked at Feng Junyi in a daze and even forgot to thank him!

It was only when a soldier behind him secretly pulled the corner of his clothes that Liu Mu finally reacted. He fell to his knees on the ground:

"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Queen! Long live the Emperor! Live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, Queen!"

Xie Yiyao looked at the unshaven, dark-skinned and thin Liu Mu and said sincerely:

"You deserve this."

Building a railway that connects Daden, Lu and Linyue is not an easy task. Even with the drawings and materials she provided, there will still be many unexpected emergencies in the specific implementation, and its difficulty is no less than building the Great Wall.

Zhang Zhongdan came over to be the supervisor for a few days in the early stage because he was worried. Later, he handed over everything to Liu Mu and let him be fully responsible. The fact that the project was completed quickly and well shows that he is capable.

This kind of talent is exactly what Da Deng needs. Once he becomes a marquis, he will feel that his abilities are recognized, and he will work harder for Da Deng in the future.

Besides, conferring him a marquisate would be a guarantee for the soldiers who followed him. She could see that he was a good leader and would not ignore the soldiers who had followed him through life and death.

There is another more important point. In order to break the monopoly of the aristocracy, we must thoroughly muddy the waters of these privileged classes and allow those who were born in poverty to have titles. When there are more poor people with titles, it will form a deep-rooted influence on the common people, that is, they will surely have a day to succeed if they rely on their own hands and hard work.

After Xie Yiyao arranged Liu Mu's affairs, she took Feng Junyi away. She also wanted Feng Junyi to help her choose which train.

She planned to buy a train from the system mall. Although Zhang Qianfan had already made a train, its performance was definitely not as good as that in the system mall.

The reason why she asked Zhang Qianfan to build a train was not to use the train he built, but she was afraid that if the train broke down in the future and no one could repair it, then all the work she had done to build it would be in vain.

Of course, in order to encourage Zhang Qianfan, Xie Yiyao planned to run the train he made on short-distance routes, and she would still use the trains from her own system mall for long-distance routes.

Anyway, now she can buy anything for free in the system mall, so she must have a few cool and comfortable trains. This can be considered as her parting gift to the people of Da Deng!

The people of Deng were so good to her, so of course she had to repay them by letting them enjoy the best life. She always insisted that people live to enjoy, not to suffer.

Whoever wants to suffer can suffer it. Anyway, the people of Da Deng have fallen into her hands, and if they suffer a little, it means her saintly light is not bright enough!

"Boss! You are now a marquis!"

The soldiers who had been following Liu Mu only dared to rush forward when they saw Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi leave. They excitedly lifted Liu Mu up high and made a parabola!

Liu Mu was thrown around by his own men until he saw stars and his eyes turned black, but his face was full of excitement. Although he was thrown around by the soldiers, he still shouted loudly:

"What bullshit are you talking about! I'm a baron!"

Liu Mu's face was full of excitement and pride. I might have thought that the earl was higher than the marquis!

The soldiers grinned and laughed:

"Yes, yes, yes! Our boss is the uncle! I just heard it clearly! There is no mistake!"

"Oh oh oh!"

A group of men with tanned faces surrounded Liu Mu and shouted excitedly. They had finally made it. Their boss was now an uncle, and their status would naturally rise as well!

"Drink! Drink! It's my treat! We won't leave until we're drunk today!

Liu Mu shouted with a proud look on his face! He usually spent every penny he had, but now he doesn't feel sorry for the money at all!

"You won't come home until you're drunk!"

"You won't come home until you're drunk!"

"Oh oh oh! There's wine to drink! There's meat to eat!"

The soldiers here are reveling around Liu Mu.

Finally, following the system's advice, Xie Yiyao selected three trains that best matched the laid tracks. With a wave of her hand, Xie Yiyao saw brand new trains appear at the newly built railway station.

"With this train, we can reach every place in Da Deng in three days. In the future, Feng Junmo can easily inspect local officials in various places. It can also allow him to see more of people's lives and understand more about the difficulties faced by the people. This will strengthen his control over the country."

"The most important thing is to build roads first if you want to get rich. With this railway, the economy of Dadeng will get better and better, and the lives of the people will get better and better. As long as their lives are good, I will feel at ease!"

Xie Yiyao's face was filled with excitement. She had never thought that one day she would be able to make such an outstanding contribution to mankind. No matter what, she had accumulated some good karma!

Feng Junyi looked at the brand new train and couldn't help but speak.

"The first train will depart in three days. We will ride with the people then!"

He had never ridden on a train before. As the chief disciple of the Qinglong Sect, although he was considered knowledgeable, he had never seen a train before!

"it is good!"

Xie Yiyao's face was also full of excitement. She hadn't taken a train for a long time!

She must bring a lot of snacks and enjoy the scenery along the way while eating them. Now it is spring and the flowers are blooming. The scenery along the way must be so charming that she can't wait!

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! All the railways in Dadeng have been repaired!"

The little newsboy walked through the streets with a newspaper and called out, and passers-by were all curious:

"Is it the iron road that the Queen Mother mentioned, which only takes three days to travel across the entire Da Deng?"

"Yes! Everyone, come and see! The Queen and the Emperor have decided to run the first train in three days. They will travel around Da Deng by train!"

The newsboy shouted excitedly!

"Ah! Then I want to ride in that car that breathes fire!"

The passers-by were so excited after hearing this that they quickly bought a newspaper and started reading.

"Aren't you afraid of being burned to death?"

"Are you stupid? If that train could burn people to death, how could the Emperor and the Empress do it? I guess that train should be able to spit fire while running! That's why it's called a train!"

The man said as he read the newspaper.

"Oh my goodness! Look at the times when the trains arrive in various towns!"

"Oh my god! Is this true? This train only takes half a day to get from Yanjing to Linyue! It took me half a month to get from Linyue to Yanjing!"

"Oh my god! If this is true, then I can go straight home when I'm resting after work!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Give me a newspaper!"

"Give me one too!"

"I want one too!"

The newspaper detailed the stations where the train stopped, the time required to reach each station, and the ticket price. What was most incredible to the people was that the train ticket was very cheap. It only cost 50 wen to get from Yanjing to Linyue!

Their travel fare to Yanjing is 500 Wen!

It suddenly became 450 Wen cheaper!

50 cents, for a well-off family, 50 cents is enough for a month's expenses!

"Where can I buy a ticket? It just so happens that it's my turn to rest in three days! I want to go home!"
