The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 489 New Year's Eve
"Can a car made entirely of iron transport so much goods really be pulled?" Several women felt very unbelievable.

They really couldn't imagine how much strength it would take to pull so much cargo.

Lin Hai smiled and said: "Because the railway is very flat, and the car is on it, the force required to pull it is much smaller.

Moreover, the steam engine is very powerful and can drag a large amount of cargo.

Moreover, the speed of the train is very fast. If you don’t stop, you will keep running.

One day and one night, you can even run one or two thousand miles.

Calculated in this way, the delivery speed of goods is much faster than that of horse-drawn carriages!
The key is that even if it rains, the speed will not be affected! "

Lin Hai explained.

“If you put it like that, wouldn’t it be possible to travel through the entire Great Xia in a short time?

Going out for fun will become more convenient in the future. "

Yuhuashi asked.

"Of course, if there are any problems at the southern border, the troops can be transported quickly by train.

Therefore, as long as there is a railway, Daxia is not afraid of any enemy.

The key is to use trains to transport goods, and the court can also earn a lot of freight.

Although the investment is very large, the capital can be earned back in ten to twenty years.

In the future, a large amount of money can be earned every year to replenish the national treasury. "

Lin Hai felt very excited when he thought about it.

Daxia will become the overlord of this world sooner or later, and the vision of the coming of all nations may not take many years to come true.

"You are really amazing. You can think of such things." Even Lin Ruoxue was amazed.

It is really hard to imagine how far Daxia can develop in the future.

“This kind of thing may not be possible within a few years, so let’s talk about current things.

After the night watch, he quickly went back to sleep.

I have to go out to pay New Year greetings at dawn tomorrow!

Although I don’t have many relatives in the capital.

But some officials may come to your door! "

Lin Hai said with a smile.

"This is the reason why I don't want to be an official. Every time during the holidays, many officials take the opportunity to come and give gifts.

None of this is needed for us.

It is enough to be able to do your own thing well.

These people give gifts all for the purpose of getting promoted and making a fortune.

It's really abhorrent! "

Yuhuashi has a free and easy personality, and the most annoying thing is these human relationships.

"It bothers me too, but since you are an official in the government, this kind of thing is inevitable.

It’s just one day, just treat it like business! Lin Hai persuaded.

Chat while eating.

Soon it was midnight, and there was a dense sound of firecrackers outside.

"It's finally the New Year, let's set off firecrackers!" Qiaoer said happily.

"it is good!"

Lin Hai took out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance and distributed them to everyone one by one.

"It's Chinese New Year, this is the lucky money for everyone!"

Yuhuashi was very surprised that he could receive lucky money every year when he was in the family.

I didn’t expect to receive it this year.

"Brother Lin is actually so thoughtful!"

"Haha, celebrating the New Year is just for good luck!"

"Yeah, I haven't received lucky money for a long time!" Princess Chenxi was the happiest one.

I jumped with joy while holding the lucky money I received.

Xian'er was stunned as she held the red envelope, her eye circles turning red.

"What's going on?" Yuhuashi asked quickly.

"This is the first time I have received lucky money since I can remember!" Xian'er was so moved that she cried.

Yuhuashi took her into his arms and comforted her.

Xian'er was once an oiran and was admired and sought after by many people.

But the more he looks like this, he must have gone through a lot of hardships to get to this point.

Lin Hai smiled and said: "This is a happy thing, no one will cry today.

From now on, if you come to my place to keep vigil every year, I will give you red envelopes! "That's good. From now on we will all celebrate the New Year together!" Princess Chenxi rushed to say.

Come outside together, the servants have prepared fireworks and firecrackers.

Lin Hai gave the order and started setting off fireworks and firecrackers.

Watching the colorful fireworks explode in the sky, I am full of hope for the new year.

After setting off the firecrackers, Yuhuashi and Xianer said goodbye and went home.

Lin Hai was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

Princess Chenxi and Lin Ruoxue had no choice but to go home.

Lin Hai and Qiaoer were left behind.

"Madam, please rest quickly. Someone will come to visit you at dawn."

"Well, I serve my husband!"

Wait until the next day, get up early and have dinner.

As expected, many people came to visit Lin Hai's house.

These officials had already understood and knew that Lin Hai's status in the Queen Mother's heart was higher than that of the prime minister.

With the support of the prince behind him, the relationship between the five major aristocratic families and him is also very good.

Although his official position is not very high, he can be said to have great power.

He can concurrently serve as the Minister of Rites, and he can also control the military.

I am afraid that Lin Hai is the only one in all dynasties.

What's more, he is the emperor's teacher and is deeply loved by the young emperor.

Even if the emperor grew up and took charge, he would still rely heavily on Lin Hai.

If you can't even understand this, your job as an official will be in vain.

Most of the officials first went to the prime minister's home to pay New Year's greetings, and then came directly to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai yawned as he received these officials.

It's just that they look familiar and want Lin Hai to remember them.

Although Lin Hai didn't like these etiquettes, he still kept these officials in mind.

If there are really capable people, I wouldn't mind promoting them.

After all, Daxia is now short of people.

As long as you are willing to work and have good moral character, you can be entrusted with important tasks.

One wave after another was sent away, and it was almost noon.

Lin Hai could finally take a rest.

He said to Qiao'er: "Let's eat early at noon, and then go back to sleep after eating.

I'm really exhausted today! "

"Okay, I'll tell you to cook quickly!"

At this time, someone came over to report: "Sir, the Queen Mother is here!"

Lin Hai just took a sip of tea and spit it out.

"What, why is the Queen Mother here at this time!"

"Let's go out and greet him!"

Lin Hai took Qiao'er outside and saw Gong Yanwu leading the little emperor.

Hurry up and salute.

"I have met the Queen Mother, and I have met the Emperor!"

"No gifts!" Gong Yanwu said with a smile.

"Why did the Queen Mother bring the Emperor out in such a cold weather?"

“Although it’s Chinese New Year, the palace is not lively at all.

I just want to take the Emperor with me to wish you, the teacher, a happy new year! "

The little emperor stepped forward and performed the master-disciple ceremony towards Lin Hai.

"Teacher, Happy New Year!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, no gifts!"

Lin Hai quickly took out the red envelope.

“It’s Chinese New Year, and I’ll give you a red envelope too!”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I had prepared many red envelopes.

Originally, I planned to send a red envelope if someone brought their children to pay New Year greetings.

I didn’t expect it to be of great use!
