Chapter 592: Li Er's Test Ride

"This car seems a little small!"

Li Er looked at the guards and ministers around him, frowned and said.

If it was in an open place, he didn't feel that there were many people protecting him.

But today, they were all huddled together, and it made him feel a little irritated!

"When it is officially opened to traffic in the future, the son-in-law will be the supervisor to build an exclusive carriage for you, whether it is decoration or space, it will be much better than this!"

After all, he is the emperor! The treatment must be more special.

"Good!"

Li Er nodded again and again, and he was very satisfied with the last steamer.

"Woo woo woo ......!"

With the sound of the whistle, the train started slowly, and the scenery on both sides of the train gradually regressed.

"It's on, the train is really moving!"

Some ministers shouted excitedly, and immediately closed their mouths after receiving Li Er's white eyes.

At this moment, Li Er's palms were also sweating, after all, it was the first time to ride, and he was still very excited!

"If there is another war, this train is the best way to transport troops!"

In the past, marching was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Going too fast, worried about consuming physical strength, the combat effectiveness is reduced!

If you go too slowly, you are worried about delaying the military aircraft, which is really a dilemma!

Now, with the train, as long as you add coal and water, you can travel day and night, and the soldiers don't have to work hard anymore, you can also sit on the train to rest and maintain your strength!

And Li Er also took a fancy to this point, so he especially supported the construction of the railway!

"That's right, that's one of the purposes of the son-in-law's proposal to build a railway!"

After all, war is not every day, so passenger and freight can still be carried out normally.

"Trains can travel day and night, and they are much better than horses!"

The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed and said.

Although the speed of the horse is also very fast, if it runs for a long time, not to mention that people can't stand the bumps, even the horses can't stand it.

"Such a good thing, it's a pity that there is only one, if we can repair all over Datang, it will be convenient for us to go anywhere in the future!"

Fang Xuanling also nodded in agreement.

"This one alone has cost a lot of money, if you repair the entire Tang Dynasty, I don't know how much it will cost, I'm afraid it won't be enough to pour the entire treasury!"

But Dai Zhou shook his head.

Although he also admits that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, it is too expensive!

However, Zhao Yin only smiled and said nothing.

Although Datang is now strong, it is far from being open to traffic in the whole country, so he doesn't want to participate in the debate!

"After the official opening, I must go to Luoyang to have a look!"

Li Er, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly came out with such a sentence.

"No problem, when the time comes, the son-in-law will bring the princess, and let's go to ...... together!"

Zhao Yin and Li Er began to chat, and before they knew it, they had reached the end.

"Huh? But what's wrong? ”

Seeing that the train stopped, Li Er was a little puzzled.

"After running for so long, I should have reached a hundred miles, so I have to change the front of the car and return to Chang'an!"

Zhao Yin opened his mouth to explain.

"Okay, then let's go back the way you came......!"

Li Er comfortably lay down on the sleeper and gave an order, "If I run a hundred miles in a carriage, I'm afraid my bones will be upside down, but with the train, I can lie on it!" ”

"Well, the train is indeed good, if you travel at night, after a night's sleep, you will already be thousands of miles away!"

The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded again and again.

With the train, he also wants to go to Luoyang to have a look, anyway, it's just a day's journey!

"That's right......!"

Li Er seemed to think of something, and suddenly sat up, "How many people can such a train carry?" ”

"If it's carrying passengers, it's about a thousand people, but if it's about transporting troops, three thousand should be fine!"

Zhao Yin thought for a moment and said a number.

If there is a real emergency, you can sacrifice comfort and carry more!

"Well, that's good!"

Hearing this figure, Li Er was still very satisfied.

Datang now has many thermal weapons, and sending 50,000 troops is enough to destroy a country, which is probably only twenty trains!

"The train construction is good, I have seen it today, and all those who participated in the train construction should be rewarded!"

After arriving in Chang'an, Li Er waved his hand and said quickly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Wu thanked him.

"Let's go, let's go back too!"

After the group got off the train, they rode back home!

After tossing for a long time, Zhao Yin's stomach was already hungry.

"Husband is back?"

Seeing Zhao Yin enter the door, Princess Changle, who was playing badminton, ran over happily.

"Well, have you had lunch?"

Zhao Yin nodded perfunctorily and began to ask.

"Because I don't know when my husband will come back, our sisters used it first, but we also left some for my husband!"

Princess Changle hurriedly waved her hand at the maid behind her, motioning for her to go and get lunch.

"Can the husband accompany his father to see the train? Did you take a ride? ”

Princess Changle blinked, very curious.

Although she had also seen the train outside the city, it was a pity that she only glanced at it from afar, let alone took it!

"Well, it's about two hundred miles back and forth, don't worry, when the train test is over, this horse will definitely take you to Luoyang for a few days!"

Zhao Yin nodded.

"But you have to talk!"

Hou Qingli blinked, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

"That's nature!"

Lin Wu has already reported the situation just now, and the trial operation is going smoothly, if nothing happens, it will be officially launched in a few days.

"Great, great!"

The girls jumped for joy.

At this time, Li Er, who had just returned to the palace, was also showing off to Empress Eldest Sun, and promised to take her to Luoyang to play after the test!

During this time, Zhao Yin ordered Li Wanting to publish the newspaper to publicize the train and warm up the operation of the train in advance!

"Have you heard? The train outside the city is about to start working, so you can not only ride on it, but also lie down and sleep! ”

"I don't dare to think about lying down, the ticket price is estimated to be higher than the sky!"

"No matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than riding a horse? For more than half a month along the way, people's food, accommodation, and money were everywhere, and in the end, they were half tired to death! ”

"That's right!"

"In my opinion, the biggest advantage of this train is to transport goods, and it will be much more convenient to come to Chang'an to do business in the future!"

"I just don't know if this thing is safe?"

"The newspapers have said that His Majesty has already ridden in the test stage, who is Your Majesty? That's the true dragon emperor, will your life be more precious than Your Majesty? ”

Under the propaganda of the newspapers, during this period of time, the most discussed issue among the people after tea and dinner was the train.

Zhao Yin not only promoted the benefits of the train, but also promoted the customs and characteristics of Luoyang to attract more people to come over.

Before that, traveling far away was time-consuming and costly, and people almost never traveled far.

But after having the train, Zhao Yin believes that many people will be willing to travel to Luoyang!
