    "The Beijing-Tianjin Railway has been officially completed and is scheduled to officially start operating on the first day of October."

    "Beijing-Tianjin Railway stocks soared, reaching as high as 55 silver dollars per share!"

    "Train tickets are on sale today. One-way train tickets to and from the Beijing-Tianjin area are priced at 110 Wen each!"

    In the early morning in the capital, accompanied by the slightest bit of autumn chill, the shouts of newsboys rang out in the streets and alleys of the capital. Soon, a large number of people poured out from every corner, quickly selling out all the newspapers in the hands of the newsboys.

    "Haha, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway is finally completed. This stock has risen to 55 yuan. It's a big profit!"

    ¡°I have heard about this train countless times, and now that it has finally been repaired, I must go take a look and ride on this train.¡±

    "Yes, yes, let's go together, let's go together!"

    ¡°I also want to see what this train looks like and how it moves on the rails.¡±

    "I heard that this train is as powerful as an ox and can pull hundreds or thousands of people at a time. I don't know if it's true or not."

    "Of course it's true. I've gone to see it a few times. The train is like a long snake. It's pulled by a steam locomotive in front, and there are many carriages behind it. When it starts to move, it makes a clanging sound, and sometimes it crashes.  There were blasts of sirens and black smoke billowing out."

    "It actually looks quite scary, but its strength is really great. The strength of an ox is nothing compared to it. Being as strong as an ox is simply an insult to it."

    "Is it really that powerful?"

    "Just buy a ticket to see and see. It's not expensive anyway. It only costs 110 yuan a ticket. Just think of it as a novelty. I heard that the emperor will also take this train to Tianjin that day. Maybe you will be lucky enough.  I¡¯m riding the same train as the Emperor.¡±

    "real?"

    "This is still fake. Go buy your tickets quickly. If you don't buy your tickets, all the tickets will be sold out by then."

    "Yes, yes, go buy a ticket, go buy a ticket, there happens to be a football match in Tianjin that day, so I will go to Tianjin to watch the match."

    "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? From now on, it will be much more convenient to go to Tianjin to watch football games. You can just take the train."

    ""

    Following the report in the Ming Dynasty Morning Post, all the old and young men in the capital knew about the official opening of the train. People who had nothing to do and happened to be going to Tianjin suddenly began to come to the train station in the South District to buy trains.  Ticket, try something new.

    After all, there are only a few people who have ridden a train, and a new thing like a train is definitely the most attractive thing to attract people¡¯s attention, plus the stocks of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company.

    Young and old men in the Beijing-Tianjin area have been paying attention to this railway and this train for a long time. After waiting for more than a year, when the railway was finally completed and the train was running, naturally they wanted to see what this train is like.

    The ticket office of Xincheng Railway Station in the South District of Beijing has already been crowded with people. There are long queues at every ticket gate. There are too many people joining in the fun.

    The most indispensable thing in the Beijing-Tianjin area is people with nothing to do. For any new things, these old and young men who are full and have nothing to do will go and join in the fun.

    "Give me a train ticket to Tianjin on the first day of October."

    ¡°Excuse me, do you want to buy a train ticket departing at that time?¡±

    "How about dividing the time?"

    "Of course it's divided by time. There are dozens of trains every day. Starting from a quarter past nine o'clock in the morning to a quarter past eight o'clock in the evening, there is a train at every moment."

    "Ah, I will take the same train that day."

    "How can we know the emperor's itinerary? Whether we can ride the same train as the emperor depends on luck. Our ancestors smoked, so naturally we can get the glory of the emperor."

    "Yes, yes, then buy me a train ticket for this hour~"

    "A train ticket for this hour, please show your ID card."

    "You also need an ID tag?"

    "Of course you need an identity card. If you don't have an identity card, it will be a mess."

    "Here, here, luckily I brought my ID tag with me~"

    "This is 110 copper coins~"

    A lot of jokes were made here at a window of the train station because buying train tickets.

    There are many requirements for purchasing train tickets. For example, only silver notes and silver coins issued by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty and copper coins minted by the imperial court will be accepted. The change will only be in accordance with the proportion stipulated by the imperial court.

    At the same time, you are also required to show your identity card and so on, because thisAfter waiting for a long time, seeing that everyone had nothing to report, Xiao Jing raised his voice and shouted to withdraw from the court.

    "Your Majesty~"

    At this time, Liu Jin stood up.

    "Liu Aiqing, what's the matter with you?"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin and asked with a smile.

    Everyone in the government and the public knew that Liu Jin was very lazy and rarely spoke unless something happened.

    "Your Majesty, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway has been completely completed recently and is scheduled to be officially opened to traffic on the first day of October. I would like to invite your Majesty and all the princes from the DPRK and China to take the train together to witness this great historical moment!"

    Liu Jin quickly said respectfully.

    "Haha, okay~"

    "The Beijing-Tianjin Railway has finally been completed after more than a year. I have heard so much about the trains and railways that my ears have become calloused. Now I finally have the opportunity to take a ride in person.  Let¡¯s experience what this train is like.¡±

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately laughed happily and agreed immediately.

    "Everyone, let's go together. Let's all take this train and see the first train in Ming Dynasty!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
