Chapter 3175

On the official road outside the city of Hangzhou, red and blue flags were fluttering in the wind. Under the escort of a guard composed of about 500 cavalry, the motorcade of the Executive Committee was slowly marching towards the city of Hangzhou.

As the distance to the city of Hangzhou gets closer and closer, the number of onlookers on both sides of the official road is also increasing, and it gradually begins to become crowded.

Tao Donglai and others are both familiar and unfamiliar with Hangzhou. Except for Qiao Zhiya and Schneider, all of them have been to Hangzhou before traveling through time. Ning Qi and Yuan Qiuye even lived here for a while.

However, in the city in front of them, most of the area visible to the naked eye outside the city is still farmland, which is obviously different from the Hangzhou city in their impression.

Ning Qi looked at the scene outside the car window and suddenly said: "I remember there seems to be a cross-river tunnel next to the mouth of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiuye knew that what he was talking about was not the Hangzhou in front of him, but the Hangzhou in another time and space. He immediately responded with a smile: "Old Ning, you have a good memory! To the south of the river mouth is the Qingchun Tunnel, and on the other side is Xiaoshan's Century Park.

, the surrounding area is full of high-rise buildings! It’s really a sea of ​​change, the changes are huge!”

Ning Qi praised: "So your memory is much better than mine. You haven't been here for decades, but you can still remember it so clearly!"

Yuan Qiuye explained: "Back then, my father was in charge of a rice breeding base in Xiaoshan. He often took me to the fields, walking back and forth through the Qingchun Tunnel, probably hundreds of times."

When Ning Qi saw him talking about this, his expression became sad. He must have thought of his deceased father Yuan Ruoxiu, so he changed the subject and said, "I don't know if our generation will have the chance to see the day when the cross-river road is completed!"

"

Yuan Qiuye said: "Isn't there a Qiantang River Bridge in the Hangzhou-Nanjing Railway planned by the Ministry of Transport?"

Ning Qi waved his hand and said: "The railway has already started and is under construction, but the bridge across the river is not easy to implement with the engineering technology we can currently implement. For the time being, it can only be a long-term plan. One bridge will fly to the north and south.

, it will take a lot of time to turn the natural chasm into a thoroughfare."

Yuan Qiuye suddenly nodded. There are actually many projects like this that seem to have mastered the technology but cannot be put into practice. In the final analysis, the root causes are all in industry.

A project like the cross-river bridge requires huge steel and cement production capacity, as well as a large number of experienced engineering and technical personnel. These conditions will take time to accumulate slowly.

But one thing is certain, after Hangzhou is established as the capital of Han Dynasty, it will definitely become the most prosperous city in East Asia for a long time in the future. Whether it is a bridge across the river or a high-rise building, Hangzhou will be the place where these engineering miracles will be in the future.

The earliest place in this time and space.

However, ordinary people will not think about something so far away and beyond their knowledge. The current excitement is more practical than a cross-river bridge.

For most people, the highest-ranking official they can see in their lives may be a county magistrate. The magistrate at the next higher level may not have the opportunity to meet him, let alone the big shots at the top.

.

Today, I can see the rulers of the Haihan Empire making a collective appearance at my doorstep. This kind of opportunity may not be encountered several times in a lifetime, so naturally I must cherish it.

"It's coming, come on, come on, come on, let's start beating the gongs and drums!"

The convoy was still more than three miles away from the city gate, and the official responsible for directing the reception activities under the city gate eagerly issued an order for the drummers to start moving immediately.

Dozens of gongs and drums were beating together, and such a loud noise could be heard clearly even from a carriage several miles away.

Tao Donglai laughed and said: "The noise is quite loud, it seems to be quite lively!"

Shi Diwen said: "It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Hangzhou. Of course, the welcome ceremony must be more grand to be decent. But I only gave the order. The specific details are left to the people below, and I don't have time. Ask more,”

The person responsible for planning and organizing the city entrance ceremony was Yang Yun, the interim mayor of Hangzhou after the change of ownership. He had not been in office for too long. He was transferred to his current position only after Bai Kesi came to inspect the Donghai Region last year. This time he welcomed the executive. The arrangement of the committee's activities is one of his first important tasks after officially assuming his duties.

Yang Yun has been working under Shi Diwen since he was transferred to Zhoushan to take charge of commercial work more than 20 years ago. He has always been known for his prudent handling of affairs, and has won Shi Diwen's trust.

Later, Shi Diwen simply hired Yang Yun from the Ministry of Commerce and put him in charge of the government affairs of the Zhoushan Islands. After that, Yang Yun's promotion was steady and steady, from Zhoushan to Ningbo, and then to Hangzhou, step by step he became the Donghai Region. Important figures in officialdom.

Yang Yun has been an official for many years, and he is well versed in the ways of being an official. The most important thing in the officialdom is not meritorious service, but stability without making any mistakes.

Yang Yun was quite attentive to this task, and even sent people to Sanya to learn more about the various celebrations held in Sanya in the past.

Noisy gongs and drums, fluttering colorful flags, dragon and lion dances... all the contents that have been used in past celebrations are copied. Although this may seem nothing new, it is better than being safe and there will never be any mistakes.

Although his plan may not please the senior officials of the Executive Committee, it will certainly not make the big shots dissatisfied. In short, handling this errand safely is the best result.

Although separated by a thick city wall, the noise outside the city was still transmitted into the city through Qingchun Gate.

Zhu Zhongyun, who was resting with his eyes closed in the attic, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Here he comes!"

The team he commanded was also composed of four people. Including himself, there were five people in total, one more than the other teams. Therefore, the wooden box that Wang Yuan sent here according to the address also contained five rifles to achieve firepower. Fully open effect.

As for the men who were previously deployed here to play the role of household heads, they left the city this morning and went to the Qiantang River to prepare boats, waiting to coordinate with their companions in the city to evacuate Hangzhou.

Zhu Zhongyun didn't know whether the other teams under him were functioning normally at this time, but his arrangement was that the team he led personally would serve as the main force of the operation, while the other teams would serve as backups in case he missed his position. , and then let them wait for the opportunity to act.

Of course, Zhu Zhongyun knew that if he missed, it would probably alert the enemy, putting the Haihan people on guard and possibly changing their route, and the other teams might not even have a chance to take action.

Therefore, for Zhu Zhongyun, he can only stay still in this position. Once he takes action, he must hit him with a fatal blow.

As for the escape route, he actually knew that there was not much hope of escaping. If the action failed, there would be no point in escaping. If he succeeded by luck, it would cause Haihan to be in chaos for several years, or even decline.

, so what’s the regret even if you die?
