The railway station outside Beijing’s south city is also crowded today, because the railway from Beijing to Taijin has finally been built, and today is the day when the train is officially opened.

The new thing about trains has caused a lot of sensation in the capital. After all, the construction of the railway was too big. Not only did it draw a large number of materials and officials, but it also used countless craftsmen. Just building such a large station outside the South City Gate was enough to attract the attention of countless people.

What's more, when the steam locomotive was tested before, every trip attracted countless people's attention. At first, many people thought it was a monster that could suck the clouds and fog when they saw the steam locomotive. Later, the news came out, which made them realize that it was just a travel tool developed by the imperial court.

It can be said that the steam locomotive had already attracted a lot of attention before it was released, so after the news of the railway construction was spread, especially when the news said that even His Majesty wanted to lead all civil and military officials to the station to watch the ceremony, it attracted a large number of people to come and watch the fun.

Li Jie accompanied Zhu Yunxi to stand on the platform of the station. In front of him was a brand new steam locomotive, which was actually the one they tested before. However, after their improvements, the performance of the steam locomotive has been greatly improved. Although the speed is still not improved, it is much better than before in terms of safety and endurance.

Beside Li Jie and Zhu Yunxiu, there were many civil and military ministers, and these people were also brought to watch the ceremony by Zhu Yunxiu. Although these people were all in high positions and powerful positions, when they saw the steam locomotive like a giant steel beast in front of them, they all showed shock.

In fact, among these ministers, some people had seen steam engines through some channels when the steam engine was started. At that time, the roar of the steam engine shocked them. However, now this steam locomotive is dozens of times larger than the steam engine, and naturally gives people a stronger visual impact.

"It's so beautiful, even more spectacular than I thought. When it runs, it will definitely be even more shocking!" Zhu Yunxiu also looked at the steam locomotive with an intoxicated look on his face, his mouth full of admiration.

Zhu Yunqiu was deeply influenced by Li Jie and had long been eager for steam locomotives. Unfortunately, he could only imagine on the drawings before. Now, the first time he saw the real thing, it also shocked him. In his eyes, every part of the steam locomotive shines with a special beauty, which is probably only felt by people like him who have a certain degree of mechanical knowledge.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the steam locomotive for a long time, and finally he relucted to look back, and then asked Li Jie: "Brother-in-law, have you tried to ride a steam locomotive? How do you feel?"

"In order to improve its performance, I tried it a few times. As for the feeling..." Li Jie touched his chin and thought for a while, then smiled, "I feel that this thing is not easy to say. You will know after you feel it yourself. It's very exciting anyway!"

Li Jie really couldn't think of any words to describe his feelings at that time. It was not that he had a lack of words, but that he had taken trains too many times in his previous life. He had taken high-speed trains with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, magnetic levitation with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour, and even airplanes with a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour. He had all taken the high-speed trains and it was hard to feel too much when he sat in front of him.

Of course, Zhu Yunxiu didn't know what Li Jie was thinking. Instead, he felt that Li Jie's answer made him look forward to it. After all, even Li Jie couldn't describe that feeling, which made him eagerly want to experience it personally.

But at this moment, Guo Zhenglin squeezed over and saluted Zhu Yunxi and said, "Your Majesty, all the people participating in the ceremony have arrived, and the people outside have almost arrived, so now are you going to start the ceremony?"

"Let's start!" Zhu Yunxiu immediately ordered. He would have been too late. If it weren't for too many people around him watching him, he would have pulled Li Jie into the carriage and carefully observed the steam locomotive.

Guo Zhenglin immediately agreed upon hearing this, and then personally led Zhu Yunxi and the others to a temporary high platform. Directly opposite the high platform were the officials involved in the entire railway project and the craftsmen behind them.

Originally, craftsmen were not qualified to attend such a ceremony, let alone meet the emperor Zhu Yunsheng. However, at the request of Li Jie, these craftsmen were still included in the ceremony list. Even behind the craftsmen, there were more civilians who participated in the construction of the railway. They were also invited to attend the ceremony. After all, they were the biggest contributors to the construction of the railway.

Zhu Yunxi led all civil and military officials to stand on the platform, and the craftsmen and civilians below also showed excitement. After all, their status was too low and they had no chance to see His Majesty the Emperor. Today, when they saw the beauty of heaven, their backs couldn't help but stand a little straight. On the outside of the venue, they came to watch the lively people, but because of the officers and soldiers, they could not get too close.

Zhu Yunxiu was not nervous, so he immediately stepped forward to scan the subjects, and then encouraged the craftsmen and civilians who worked hard, which made everyone even more excited.

Then the ceremony began. Li Jie brought the ribbon-cutting ceremony of later generations. Zhu Yunyu personally cut the red silk. Then the salutes that had been prepared around him were roaring, and the train also made a long whistle sound, which attracted countless people to turn their heads and pay attention.

Although the entire ceremony was not long, the scene was quite large. Zhu Yunyu announced his arrival, and then he and Li Jie and other important officials got on the front car. This car was specially made for Zhu Yunyu. It not only has a very beautiful appearance, but also has a very gorgeous decoration inside.

In fact, as Zhu Yunyu's identity, he should have built a special steam locomotive for him to use as his special train, but now the conditions are limited, and there is only one steam locomotive for him, so he can only draw an independent car for him first, with guards and cavalry on both sides and on the left and right.

Li Jie took Zhu Yunxi and others to board the bus, but did not set off immediately. Instead, he wanted to take them to visit the structure of the whole steam locomotive, especially the front position in front, which was the focus of the visit. Zhu Yunxi was also most interested in this place.

Zhu Yunxi and the others were not the only passengers of the steam locomotive. In fact, when they were visiting, the craftsmen and civilians outside also began to draw lots. Those who won the lottery could board the rear carriage and travel with Zhu Yunxi and others on the train. This is a great honor for anyone.
