[092] Old Stanford on
Long Hao does not hate this Lelan Stanford. Because of the different angles, the decisions must be very different. Moreover, this 67-year-old man lost his beloved son of 15 years ago 8 years ago.
From a perspective, he has been punished! Even if he has a wealthy family, he will die without a son, how sad his old age will be?
It was precisely because of his loss of his son in his later years that Leland Stanford's mood changed greatly. He stayed in a hotel in Paris for a full five weeks and finally decided to build a university.
Lelan regarded his 8,180-acre ranch in Palaatu as the site of the new university, and the name was named after his deceased son: Stanford University!
If Long Hao had not made a single shot, under the original historical trajectory, Stanford University would have flourished based on this huge ranch and become the leading prestigious university in the United States! Of course, Long Hao's arrival and Stanford's future
It will only be more brilliant!
You know, Stanford is a university to put it nicely, but in fact, it is desolate and remote, with unfavorable transportation... According to Gao Tianyang's investigation, although Stanford has been established for several years, it has not officially started classes to this day.
!
Palaatu City is called "Garden City", but what is the real situation? In today's era of industrialization, it is synonymous with remote and remoteness! In Palaatu, towering primeval forests and wild beasts
Lorrari... American pine and rubber trees are like weeds on the grassland, and can be seen everywhere!
It is no wonder why Stanford University has been established for several years and is still not well-known yet! How can such a simple living condition like the savage living together, attract outstanding teachers and hard-working students?
While waiting for the butler to report, Long Hao thought about Lelan Stanford's life several times, and finally came to a conclusion: Lelan wanted Stanford University to be carried forward, and wanted the people of future generations to remember his death.
Son, it is the best choice to transfer this 'wild' Stanford to yourself!
The housekeeper did not lie. After about three hours, he finally came back, bringing good news to Long Hao and others who were waiting a little bit lost.
"The master is willing to see you, please come in!"
The door of the mansion made of pig iron slowly opened with some difficulty in pushing the butler.
According to the butler, the door has not been completely opened for five years. Normally, Mr. Lilan lives in seclusion in the mansion and building and never goes out. If he wants to buy daily necessities, the butler and servants are all from the door.
Small door in and out.
This time, Lelan Stanford ordered the door to be opened to welcome Long Hao and his party for the first time, and the housekeeper was also very surprised.
Lilan's pasture mansion is indeed a great man. Long Hao's carriage convoy walks inside, just like a camel is lost in the desert, and the lambs are lost in the grassland, too small to measure. In one look, it is vast, only the black dots in the sky tell
Long Hao, it was inhabited by someone. After crossing the door just now, he did not change the time and space, and came to the deserted and deserted country.
The housekeeper led the way: "The master moved to Odin Temple first and waited for you."
Odin is a Nordic god. It seems that this railway tycoon believes in the Nordic god religion.
Long Hao asked curiously: "Is Odin Temple a place where Mr. Stanford uses to meet guests?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "No, the master has built a total of fourteen independent buildings, all of which are for living! The Odin Temple is just the closest to us!"
When this vast mansion was first built, Lelan held the beautiful wish of a family full of children and grandchildren. He hoped that in a hundred years, the Stanford family could grow lushly in San Francisco. These fourteen independent buildings, in Lelan's plan, were
Leave it to his descendants to live in.
This ranch mansion is like the "Valhalla" temple in Stanford!
However, with the death of Little Lelan, Valhalla was gone and was slowly dying. When Lelan Stanford died, according to his will, the mansion would be sold as Stanford University
operating capital.
These are all things Long Hao doesn't know.
"It turns out to be for us..." Long Hao said, "But, does it take time for Mr. Stanford to go to Odin Temple?"
‘Valhalla’ is so vast that Lilan is already very old. I wonder if it can withstand the bumps of the carriage?
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the butler's dry face, just like the rain after a long drought: "The master is taking the train, haha, it's very convenient!"
The train is indeed a train. When the carriage drove for half an hour and stopped at the entrance of the Odin Temple, Long Hao saw the train!!
To be precise, it should be called a locomotive. Next to the huge and towering Odin Temple, a dark and 'old-style' locomotive was painted with a little red color, like a perched giant beast, parked there quietly. A black one
The long line extends from the foot of the locomotive to the distance...that is the railway track!
The old-fashioned locomotive is naturally evaluated by Long Hao's eyes. However, in the late 19th century, this locomotive has perfect shape, smooth lines, full of industrialized strength and beauty, and a high funnel-shaped chimney insertion
In the front of the locomotive, it is like the horns of a bull, which symbolizes the fierce speed and unparalleled impulse.
This locomotive represents the peak of technology now!
When the butler saw Long Hao and his group's shock, he felt relieved and proudly introduced: "There are railways laid between the independent buildings... This big guy is rushing wildly, and the maximum speed can exceed 100 kilometers per hour!"
Lelan Stanford is worthy of being a former railway giant, and has actually laid all the railway tracks into his own manor! According to the butler, no one can take this locomotive except Lelan and his relatives.
When you step into the Odin Temple, it is empty and atmospheric. The floors, walls, stone pillars, stairs and ceilings are all made of high-quality materials, with luxurious decorations and beautiful meanings. However, the furniture in this hall is almost zero.
Even the lighting was only a handful of lamps. It was clearly during the day, but Long Hao and his group seemed to have walked into the night.
This Odin Temple has lost its soul and is empty, like a tomb built in advance!
Lelan Stanford was waiting for Long Hao on the third floor. When he met, Long Hao felt that this huge Western old man was already in a state of decline, his eyes were filled with the afterglow of dusk, and there was no more time!
Lilan sat in a copper wheelchair. The workmanship of the wheelchair is not exquisite, and can even be described as rough. However, there are 1.5 meters high wheels on both sides, but this transportation tool used by the disabled is an emperor.
throne.
Lelan sat high above, looking down at Long Hao and others, as if he was sitting on the bright red locomotive by the Sacramento River. (Note: The Sacramento River was the Century Avenue Railway in 1863
The location of construction on the 8th of the month.)
"Please sit down!" Lilan's voice was very low.
Chapter completed!
