Chapter 585 - 583 Trial Run
Since the Peach Grove began construction last year, Wong Qiao, Qi Younian, Cheung Wusi, and others had been extremely busy. On a daily basis, he either went to work in the Peach Grove or inspected the progress of the construction. To save time, he always traveled on horseback. Therefore, although the Peach Grove was well-built, arrangements for the female relatives to visit had not yet been made. Even the wife of the Princely Heir had not visited the Peach Grove since its renovation.
With the introduction of the Railway Carriage, a round trip could now be made in under an hour. Ye Zi, aiming to make recruiting workers more convenient, had already planned for interested villagers to take a tour. This would inform people that commuting to work in the Peach Grove using the carriage to transport workers was very convenient and did not waste time.
Since Mother had proposed a visit, it was of course no issue at all.
......
In the following period, in order to familiarize people with the Peach Grove for future industry expansion and to hire workers, as well as to test the operational parameters and conditions of the wooden tracks, Fan Zhengyuan arranged two to three trips per day for the Railway Carriage to and from the Peach Grove, depending on the situation, over the course of a month.
These included trips specifically for sightseeing as well as for transporting materials and settling the families of craftspeople and workers.
Even though the sightseeing trips had not ensured that all the residents of Clear Water Village had visited, at the very least, the head of each household had checked on it. The children, mixed with Sanshun and Jiajia, led by the guards, had gone to play more than once.
The first ones arranged to visit the Peach Grove were Madam Yin and Lady Zhao, along with a group including Jiajia and Xiuqin, and about a dozen children from the village, inaugurating the visits to the Peach Grove.
