Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1212

When Wei Wu was drinking tea, Xu Da also raised his cup, but what he drank was not tea, but ordinary boiled water.

Hearing Wei Wu say that he was leaving, Xu Da paused holding the teacup, and then spoke:

"Are we going back now?"

"Well, Mr. Xu, your recovery is very good. You don't need any more injections. Just wait for your body to heal on its own."

Wei Wu nodded in response, then continued:

"After all, my wife is pregnant, and as a husband I should spend more time with her."

"That's right. Yuxuan is pregnant and needs you to take care of her. So I won't keep you here."

Xu Da expressed his understanding of Wei Wu's decision, but then he spoke again:

"I can never repay you for saving my life. If anything happens in the future, the Duke of Wei will definitely help you!"

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xu. But in this capital, I am the only one who can bully others. Who can bully me?"

While speaking, Wei Wu raised his eyebrows in a funny way, which made Xu Da laugh.

After laughing, Wei Wu casually placed the teacup on the table and stood up.

"Uncle Xu, I'll be leaving now. Before I go home, I have to go to the palace and talk to Uncle Zhu about your situation."

"Okay, after I recover, I'll go to your house and have a drink with you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Old Man Xu. There's no need to see me off now."

Wei Wu bowed and responded to Xu Da, then turned and left the Duke of Wei's Mansion and rushed straight to the palace.

As with every previous visit, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were reviewing memorials in the back hall of Fengxian Hall.

The two of them didn't even notice Wei Wu's arrival, but fortunately the eunuch next to them whispered a reminder.

Seeing Wei Wu walk into the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao put down their pens at the same time and looked towards Wei Wu.

"Xiao Wu, why did you come to the palace when you weren't at Tiande's place looking after him?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, he probably guessed in his heart that Xu Da no longer had to worry.

The fact was just as he thought. As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Wu gave an answer.

"Mr. Xu is recovering very well. He no longer needs to take medication or change the drainage gauze every day."

"You just need to rest well at home, pay attention to your diet, and wait for your body to heal naturally, so I came to tell you."

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smiled, and then walked straight to Wei Wu and patted him on the shoulder.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, but when he spoke, he did not mention Xu Da at all.

"That's perfect! Your eldest brother is hosting the railway's official opening ceremony the day after tomorrow. I was thinking you wouldn't be able to make it!"

Was Wei Wu's first reaction so quick after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words?

However, it was soon realized that the original time set by Zhu Biao was that the railway would officially start operating in twenty days.

He has been in the Duke of Wei's mansion for eighteen days, so isn't it the day after tomorrow when the official start of work will begin?

Thinking of this, Wei Wu also smiled.

"Railways and steam locomotives appeared in people's lives for the first time. Needless to say, I was quite looking forward to it."

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Biao beside him immediately said with a smile:

"You're not the only one who's looking forward to it! My father and I, as well as the wealthy merchants and common people who have rushed to the capital during this period, are all looking forward to it!"

Under the promotion of the Ming Dynasty's state machinery, matters concerning trains and railways had long been informed to the people of the world.

The first thing was to publicize the role of trains and make all the wealthy businessmen in the world willingly come to the capital to witness this epoch-making moment.

In addition to promoting the role of trains, it is actually also making first-hand protective preparations to enable people to have a certain understanding of railways.

You have to know that even in the information-rich world of later times, there are still people who get killed while making trouble on the railroad tracks.
