Chapter 593: A Vote Is Hard to Find

"Master Horse, the train has been tested for half a month, is it ready to start official operation?"

Half a month later, Lin Wu came to the Horse Mansion again and reported to Zhao Yin.

"Are the trains enough right now?"

Zhao Yin asked.

"It should be enough, there are about sixty passenger trains that can be put into use now, and one hundred freight trains, all of which are half of Luoyang Chang'an!"

In fact, Lin Wu felt that there was no need to build so many trains, and the people of Chang'an almost didn't go far away.

Besides, it costs a lot to build a train, and it would be a bit of a waste to build so many at once!

"It should be about ......!"

Zhao Yin nodded, "The departure time has been set?" ”

"It's set!"

Lin Wu took out a piece of paper from his arms and respectfully handed it to Zhao Yin.

This watch is made according to the meaning of the horse, and the earliest train starts at the beginning of the hour and ends at the end of the evening!

The people of Datang are all resting at sunrise and sunset, so when the unitary time ends, they are generally not very good at going out!

"Alright, let's do it!"

After Zhao Yin looked at the timetable, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Master Horse, there are so many trains every day, and the lower officials are worried that there will be no source of customers, and manpower and coal will be wasted in vain!"

You know, there are a lot of people on a train, and a lot of coal is burned on the way, which is a lot of money.

"That's more? I'm worried that it will be hard to get a ticket! ”

However, Zhao Yin does not think so.

Trains are the fastest mode of transportation in this era, and the people are not stupid, so they naturally understand which is more cost-effective!

"Now that everything is ready, we can arrange ticket sales tomorrow, and it will officially open the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

After Lin Wu left, Zhao Yin entered the palace to find Li Er.

"Don't talk yet, let me guess ......!"

After seeing Zhao Yin walk in, Li Er first made a silent action, thought for a while, and continued: "You kid came here today, is it for the train?" ”

Since taking the train once, Li Er has been looking forward to the train opening as soon as possible, and he has been counting with his fingers every day.

"That's right, Lin Wu came to report today that the train test has ended, everything is normal, and it can be put into use!"

After Zhao Yin finished speaking, he took out the timetable that Lin Wu gave him from his arms and handed it to Li Er.

"Well, yes, the price is okay!"

Li Er looked at it carefully for a while and spoke.

For this kind of novelty, 300 wen for a hard seat, 700 wen for a hard sleeper, and 1,000 wen for a soft sleeper are already very cost-effective!

"That's right, since the train is for the convenience of the people, it is necessary to set a price that can be accepted by the people!"

For the common people, 300 wen is indeed not too cheap, but if it is compared with the cost of food and accommodation on the road, 300 wen is not too cost-effective.

"Now that everything is ready, when will the train be officially opened?"

"The son-in-law has ordered Lin Wu to arrange the sale of tickets, and it will be officially opened the day after tomorrow!"

"Good!"

"When the train is officially opened, the son-in-law is going to take the princess over to play for a few days!"

"Alas......! If it weren't for my busy schedule, I would have gone with you! ”

Although Li Er's identity is noble, it is precisely because of this that he can not go wherever he wants.

"Isn't it too much to send so many trains a day?"

He didn't usually notice that there were so many people coming and going in Chang'an City.

"I'm afraid this little son-in-law won't be enough!"

Zhao Yin said firmly.

"Is that true?"

Li Er looked at him suspiciously.

The train hadn't been opened yet, and it hadn't been tested, so he really didn't understand why this kid had such confidence?

"Father-in-law, today's Tang Dynasty, peaceful and prosperous, everything is developing for the better, not to mention, the land of Luoyang is even more prosperous, there must be a lot of business and trade, and it is normal for many people to take the train!"

He could guess that once the train opened, the Datang people would know the benefits of this thing, and they would inevitably rush to try it.

Secondly, there is no longer any threat around Datang, and the people can rest assured that they can boldly go out of the city without worrying about other dangers, which is also the most important factor.

In the past, there were other surrounding countries that often brutalized the people of the Tang Dynasty, but now, those surrounding countries have long been flattened, and even those bandits and robbers have all been suppressed on the grounds of military training.

"Then I really want to see it!"

After saying this, Li Er couldn't help but be overjoyed, the reason why Datang became like this was not because of his painstaking governance.

And this kid has always been above the top, since he said so, he can also take these words as if he was flattering himself, of course, these are just Li Er's wishful thinking.

After returning to the Horse Mansion, Zhao Yin told his women about the train, and promised that if the train opened in a few days, he would definitely take them out to see it.

The girls were overjoyed at once, and without waiting for him to say anything else, they turned around and ran back to prepare their things.

After seeing the movements of the women, Zhao Yin couldn't help but wonder, he just had a plan, but he didn't expect that they would be so concerned.

The next day, after eating early in the morning, Zhao Yin went to a ticket station in Chang'an City.

In order to avoid the phenomenon of crowding, many ticket offices have been set up throughout Chang'an City.

Rao is that he was mentally prepared, and he also rushed early in the morning, but it was still late.

Looking from afar, good guys, a long queue has already been discharged!

In order to prevent people from gathering to make trouble, the imperial court also sent a lot of people to maintain order here.

But fortunately, no one made any trouble, and even if anyone spoke, it was a few people who gathered together and whispered, not even those who made a loud noise.

This scene made Zhao Yin very satisfied, and then raised his legs and walked towards other sites, as expected, this is the case everywhere, and it has reached the point of overcrowding.

In desperation, he had to go to the station outside the city to buy a ticket, which was also crowded with people just like the city.

"Master Pony, you're here."

At this moment, Lin Wu's voice came.

Then he smiled and walked quickly towards this side with his back molars.

"How are ticket sales?"

Although the ticket offices were overcrowded, he didn't know how many people were buying tickets when so many people gathered.

Or just to join in the fun?

"Master Pony is really clever, everything is as you expected, it has reached the point where it is difficult to find a ticket, and even the train tickets for the next few days have been booked!"

Speaking of this, Lin Wu couldn't help but worship Zhao Yin even more.

What is the role of the superintendent? It's not for the benefit of the people!

Now, because of the suggestion of the horse master, it can be recognized by the masses, and Lin Wuna is quite satisfied.

"After all, the train is the first time it has come out, and there are naturally many curious people, and now it is so popular, which is a reasonable thing, and after a few days, everything will be calm."

It's human nature to love to join in the fun, so it's normal that the train station is so hot at the moment.

After a few days, after this fresh energy passed, everything was on the right track.
