On the second day, before dawn, Qiao Zhiqing walked over from the stuffy study.Obviously, I only wore thin shorts and shorts, but I still sweated all over my body.He changed into gray linen clothes and linen pants, and after leaving the study, he sat down under the porch pavilion by the lake.The clothes of the present have the appearance of the later generations, the pants are the pants, the blouse is the blouse, and it is no longer the robe and horse coat of the past.The clothes made of linen cloth are extremely breathable, and a gust of night breeze blows from the lake, and Qiao Zhiqing's body does not feel much cooler."
President, you have to hurry today, why don't you sleep more" Wang got up on time at 54 o'clock, inspected the defenses in various places just now, and when he returned to Qiao Zhiqing's residence, he found that he had already gotten up."
It's too hot, I can't sleep" Qiao Zhiqing pointed to the stone bench and motioned for Wang Wu to sit down and speak.This young man has become much more mature since he caught up with him when he was in Nanjing."
The president is worried about the drought situation in various places" Wang Wu looked at Qiao Zhiqing's sad appearance, knowing that he must be very worried now."
Yes, if it doesn't rain for a day this thief, I won't be at ease for a day."
Qiao Zhiqing snuffed out the cigarette butt, got up and stared at the east.The sky has already appeared in the white belly of the fish, and the morning sun is about to rise again."
The president doesn't have to worry too much, God will definitely be moved by your sincerity, and it will rain heavily soon" Wang Wu comforted Qiao Zhiqing, and his heart was full of emotion and admiration for Qiao Zhiqing."
I hope so, it's almost dawn, and you go and prepare the carriage.Let's go in the morning, we can also cool down" Qiao Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to Wang Wu, returned to the study and asked the maid to get a basin of water and wash up.The maids in the presidential palace are divided into three shifts, each of which lasts eight hours, and there are people serving outside the door all day.Wei Ziyou also got up very early today, and after Qiao Zhi finished cleaning and rinsing, she was already waiting outside the door.The group took advantage of the darkness to go to the train station, and Wang Wu took out a battalion of troops to accompany him to protect it this time, and yesterday he had already set up a proper defense on the presidential train.Both the Hebei Provincial Military Region and the Henan Provincial Military District received information that there were sentinel guards every kilometer along the railway.Today's steam trains travel at speeds of only 30 kilometers per hour, and they can keep up with trains with a quick horse.The area along the route is not safe, and there are small groups of bandits from time to time.Therefore, the military regions did not dare to be careless, and if something went wrong, it would be a big thing to lose their heads."
Brother Qiao, this drought is mainly concentrated in western and northern Henan.Now the railway has been repaired to Xinxiang City, do we go straight to the destination, or get off the train along the way" Wei Ziyou took the itinerary and made arrangements, and in the spacious presidential private room, there were only two people, she and Qiao Zhiqing."
Hasn't the Yellow River Bridge in Zhengzhou been repaired yet" Qiao Zhiqing looked out of the window intently, facing the wind of the window, and his heart calmed down a little.As soon as the train left Beijing, there was already a scene of harvest outside the window.Ripe wheat is one after another, and the smell of wheat can be smelled in the carriage."
No, it is not expected to be completed until next year.However, the construction of the railway south of the Yellow River has begun, and there is no delay," Wei Ziyou blurted out, and all the news was clear.When Qiao Zhiqing ordered to inspect Henan yesterday, she had already sorted out all the information.This year, the Ministry of Railways has launched a new major project, that is, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway from Beijing to Guangzhou.This railway runs through Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong five provinces and one city, is expected to be built in five years, and is also the first railway artery of New China.The Beijing-Guangzhou Railway is of great significance, whether it is to communicate the economy of the north and the south, or to strengthen the political and military control of the south of the Yangtze River, it is of extraordinary significance."
That's good, the Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge is the first bridge of thousands of meters in China, and the significance is extraordinary.This itinerary is also added here, let's go to the construction site to inspect by the way" Qiao Zhiqing nodded and smiled softly at Wei Ziyou, obviously satisfied with her answer.She's like a computer, she knows everything she asks.People often say that beautiful women have no brains, but Wei Ziyou accounts for both.Sometimes I think about it, it's not too fair that God created man.Because China's bridge-building technology is not yet developed, the construction of the Yellow River Bridge in Zhengzhou has not started for a long time.The bridge brought together bridge-building experts from all over China, and for the first time, concrete and steel technology were used in bridge building.After a year of exploration, construction has finally begun this year.Of course, Qiao Zhiqing also helped a lot with these bridge-building techniques, and he also provided a lot of simple theories."
Write it down, then we can go directly to Xinxiang City.Then take a horse-drawn carriage from Xinxiang City to inspect all the way to the construction site of the Yellow River Bridge.In this way, we not only inspected the drought situation, but also learned about the construction of the bridge.Kill two birds with one stone, and don't delay the trip" Wei Ziyou made a suggestion seriously, holding a pen and constantly adding Qiao Zhiqing's schedule.In the drought in northern Henan, Xinxiang and Jiaozuo are also the most serious, and they can be inspected just by the way."
Okay, let's do as you arranged."
Qiao Zhiqing agreed to Wei Ziyou's suggestion, in fact, it was the same everywhere he went.When the drought hit, there were people fleeing the famine everywhere, and he now wanted to see how the local government responded.The governor of Henan Province is now held by Yuan Baoheng, who was also promoted and reused by Qiao Zhiqing because of his meritorious service to the uprising.Qiao Zhiqing mainly values his ability, he is the governor of Henan, and he also has a set of experience in governing Henan.The drought in Hebei is not severe, and only a few counties and cities along the way have experienced drought conditions.It was the first time Qiao Zhiqing had seen such a severe drought, and in his time and space, the water conservancy and irrigation system was already very developed, and it could also withstand small-scale droughts.Now it is completely dependent on the weather, and the drought that began in the spring has continued until now.The entire field is almost bare, without any crops.As soon as the train entered the territory of Henan, the drought became severe.Along the way, thousands of miles of red land, there is no green in sight, and there are cracks in the fields.Qiao Zhiqing asked the train to stop temporarily in a wheat field, where farmers were harvesting wheat in groups.Because of the drought, the golden wheat seedlings obviously did not grow tall, and the ears on them were only the size of a little finger.At this time, there are fewer trains, so scheduling is also convenient.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing's special train arrived, in order to ensure the safety of the special train, the train number in the entire Henan Province was temporarily suspended.However, there is only one train a day, and it does not affect anything.If it was placed in Qiao Zhiqing's time and space, the railway would probably be full of trains."
Come and see, this iron guy has stopped" "Train, is that a train, my son will sit on this" "Everyone listen, the train has stopped, everyone goes to see the train" "The peasants saw this iron guy stop, and they all gathered around curiously.Hu Wenhai asked the soldiers on the car to strengthen the guard, and after the door opened, he followed Qiao Zhiqing off the train
