The boat Yang Ji was riding slowly in it, and the gentle river water was flowing under his feet, with towering and strong embankments on both sides.

Looking up, a magnificent embankment pier appeared in sight.

On the dock, countless workers were densely packed, like ants coming and going in the piles of yards.

Two huge wooden behemoths stand on the embankment.

The huge canal ship leaned against a corner of the dock.

From the giant wooden structure, an object similar to a beam extends out, with thick ropes hanging on it.

Packets of goods were hung up by them, lifted from the canal ship, and then transferred to a corner of the dock.

"Officials, that's the dragon gate crane..." Li Erhu whispered beside Yang Ji: "I heard that it was the big Diao Dang Song Zhaoxuan, who is now around the official family, invented in Hebei during disaster relief in the eighth year of Yuanfeng..."

Yang Ji nodded slightly.

His eyes deflected and he looked at the dock.

There is also something there that he can't understand.

A long, bizarre wooden thing extends out from the pier.

On it, there are several rectangular boxes connected together.

Lifu on the dock is loading pieces of goods in those cars.

There were several horses in front of the carriage.

"What's that?" Yang Ji asked.

"Rail carriage!" Li Erhu followed the direction of Yang Ji's finger and saw the track, and explained: "This is something that Shen Tiju, who was dedicated to the creation of the Military Weapons Bureau last year!"

"Now, it is the most important means of transportation in and outside the capital, among the stacking yards and workshops!"

"The Taiping Car in Beijing has been reduced by half, so it has been reduced!"

Speaking of this, Li Erhu sighed.

In the past, the main logistics of Bianjing City relied on bulky and dangerous Taiping Cars.

Taiping cars rush around in Beijing, often hindering traffic. Almost every one or two days, pedestrians are killed and injured by Taiping cars.

Therefore, the people of Bianjing were afraid when they saw the Taiping Car.

I was afraid that these giants with loads of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms would be out of control.

However, since the orbital output has appeared, these things have been very rare.

Because merchants inside and outside the city are increasingly starting to use rail carriages to transport goods.

Compared with the Pacific car running everywhere, the track car running on a wooden track is greatly reduced to pedestrians.

Now there are still few cases of death and injury caused by rail carriages in a month.

Yang Ji listened, his eyes were full of energy.

While speaking, the boat was docked.

The officials of the Dike Office did not appear, but a man in green with an abacus and a book of accounts appeared.

Seeing this, Li Erhu quickly accused Yang Ji and went forward.

The man in green boarded the boat, patrolled around, and then started to fight with the abacus, with his movements extremely skillful.

Yang Ji looked at everything in front of him, and he moved his lips, and finally took his Yuansui and bowed to the dock.

But before leaving, he ordered a follower to inform Li Erhu. If he wanted to sue the government for extortion by the officials in Xiangyi and Chenliu County yesterday, he was willing to testify and explain.

However, the entourage soon came back to report, saying that Li Erhu had politely declined his kindness.

Yang Ji didn't take it seriously either.

After all, the people do not fight with officials!

Especially merchants like Li Erhu who need to go shopping everywhere are most taboo to offend the government.

Moreover, they have another characteristic - the more grassroots government officials are, the more they are afraid.

So, Yang Ji didn't say anything and took the people out of the stacking yard.

After leaving the pile yard, the noise in Bianjing City was already coming.

After only two steps, Yang Ji heard the hawking of the "Bianjing Newspaper Boy" he had repeatedly heard in Yingtian Prefecture and Jiangning Prefecture.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"

"Today's "Bianjing New News"!"

"Jiazhijin envoy Li Zhong and others were blamed. Our commentator Hu Feipan commented on this: A mere minister attempts to provoke discord and destroy the friendship between the emperor of the Holy Dynasty and the king and minister of the Jiaozhi County. It is really possible to kill! Fortunately, the emperor's sages have gained insight into the ills of the feelings and know their false deceptions. The world is very lucky!"

Yang Ji was immediately attracted to him. He looked in the sound and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old child with two children who looked like they were eight or nine years old. They held a thick tabloid in their hands and a bag of money on their backs.

Their faces were very clean, their eyes were clear, and their clothes were even clean.

When Yang Ji saw it, he whispered: "This is Bianjing City, you must not hurt anyone..."

He has heard of the legend of a boy from Bianjing in Jiangning and Yingtian Prefecture.

According to legend, these newspaper boys always carry hundreds to thousands of copper coins in their pockets.

However, no one dared to rob or hurt them, neither Bian Jing nor the arrogant second generation of Yanei.

Because the price of hurting them is unbearable for ordinary people!

The last person who hurt them was Wu Anchi!

And Wu Anchi has been locked up in the Imperial Academy so far!

The sentence in the edict was given: I abandoned the sage's teaching of benevolence and forgiveness, and did not care about the suffering of the people. I directly nailed it to the pillar of shame and was despised by the people of the world.

And its origin was that Wu Anchi beat a newspaper boy.

Although some people think that maybe it's just an excuse, it's just that the palace is taking advantage of the issue.

However, even in Jiangning Prefecture, if the yamen want to go to Beijing, their elders will repeatedly remind them - never make things difficult for a child!

The power of heaven is unpredictable!

What if?

Therefore, these newspaper boys became the "invincible people" in this imperial capital, and many legends and stories were derived from the local area.

Thinking of this, Yang Ji smiled. He walked up, took out five money from his body, and said to the three newspaper boys: "Give me one!"

"What a shame!" The old newspaper boy skillfully took the copper coins and threw them into the bag. An eight-year-old newspaper boy immediately handed a few tabloids to Yang Ji and said in a slight voice: "The guest bought my new newspaper in Bianjing today, but I bought it!"

"Today's tabloids, in addition to the court newspaper and the yamen newspaper, also have the latest series of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and a story released by our "Bianjing New Newspaper", called "Journey to the West to the West to Shier the Biography", telling the story of Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty who sought the truth from the West!"

"So, there are more tabloids today than usual!"

"Oh!" Yang Ji took the tabloid and laughed: "Is that true? Thank you!"

After buying the tabloids, Yang Ji took them and took his followers to find a nearby roasted pork shop in Sun's family. He had heard of the reputation of this roasted pork shop in Yingtian Mansion, which is said to be no less than that of Daxiangguo Temple.

So he ordered the signature dish of Sun's Shao Zhupu and ordered wine and meat for his followers.

Then he took the tabloid and sat in a seat beside the window of the Shaozhu Shop, and slowly looked.

"Interesting... Interesting..." When Yang Ji saw this, his eyebrows rose.

It is indeed the same as the legendary "Bianjing Xinbao".

The words are blunt and never pile up vocabulary. They only use words that the general public, especially idle men, can understand, to introduce things in the court or the palace.

And the so-called commentator article written by the so-called commentator called "Hu Fei Pai" is the most fun in this tabloid.

Because others can express their "high opinions" on diplomatic matters without restraint.

It should be noted that this is something that many court officials may not dare to speak casually.

And his contempt and neglectful attitude towards Jiaozhi is fully displayed in the text.

Just so happened that diners not far from Yang Ji's seat were also discussing the contents of today's Bianjing New News.

"Even the Prince of Jiaozhi, the friendship between the monarch and ministers of Jiaozhi and the Song Dynasty cannot be destroyed!"

"This Hu Feipai finally started talking again!"

"Just rely on this sentence, drink this cup!"

Yang Jixun looked at him and saw a few men in thick veil clothes, gathering around a plate of roast pork, chatting with wine.

"Hu Feipan? Finally speaking human words?" Yang Ji chewed the contents of the men's mouths: "In other words, what the Bianjing New News said for a while is not very popular..."

This is a very important thing.

Because, even in Jiangning Prefecture, some people know that the attitude of the "Bianjing Xinbao" may be the attitude of the palace.

Therefore, reading newspapers is a compulsory course for officials in Beijing.

According to legend, the crows in the Censorate read the "Bianjing Xinbao" every day to find the shortcuts in Zhongnan.

Continue to flip through the tabloid newspapers, in the corner of the second page, Yang Ji saw a report the size of a tofu block - the county, town clerk may not be convinced by Kaifeng Prefecture.
