Chapter 591: Good News to Li Er
As a person who has traveled through later generations, Zhao Yin doesn't like to get up early at all, so it wasn't until noon that he came to the palace to find Li Er.
"Why did you kid come here today?"
Li Er was pulling Fang Xuanling and others to play table tennis in the Imperial Garden.
Since these movements, Li Er went down to the early dynasty, and he would exercise for a while first, and then review the recitals.
In Zhao Yin's words, it is called a combination of work and rest!
"The son-in-law is here to congratulate Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yin smiled mysteriously and sold a pass.
"But what's the good thing?"
Li Er was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't accept the request from Xuanling.
"That's right, the railroad is now built and ready for testing!"
"What? Railroad repaired? In other words, if I want to go to Luoyang, I can get there in one day? ”
Li Er paused the movement in his hand when he heard this, and froze in place.
He has always wanted to go out for a walk and appreciate the great rivers and mountains of his Tang Dynasty, but he is on the throne and does not allow him to travel for a long time at all, but if the railway is repaired, he can arrive in Luoyang on the same day, and it is no problem to play for four or five days.
"That's right, but it still needs to be tested for a while before it can be officially ridden!"
"How long will it take?"
"At least half a month first!"
"I've been waiting for the past few days, haha!"
I heard that I had to wait, so I scared Li Eryi, but fortunately it didn't take long.
"Wouldn't it be much faster to transport back and forth in the future?"
The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and smiled.
"That's right, trains can not only carry goods, but also passengers!"
Later generations of trains made a lot of money, and it was endless.
"Have you started testing now?"
Li Er couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Not only him, but even the other ministers were wide-eyed and very concerned about this matter.
Because they also have a stake in it.
As soon as the train starts running, it means that it starts to make a profit, and they have an extra dividend every year!
Moreover, there is no competition problem in this railway, and no one can afford to build a railway.
Even the imperial court, which has strong strength, will take more than a year to build a railway, and others can't even think about it!
"Lin Wu has started testing now!"
"Okay, I'll take the time to see for myself tomorrow!"
Li Er couldn't wait to see what the train really looked like.
The last time I watched the train run, the railway was not fully completed, and it was over in only a dozen miles, and he hadn't seen it yet!
"When does Your Majesty plan to pass?"
Zhao Yin opened his mouth to ask, planning to inform Lin Wu in advance, lest Li Er go, and only see the empty railroad tracks.
"After the end of the early dynasty, I will go with them with the auxiliary machine, probably at the end of the day!"
Li Er thought for a while and set a specific time.
"Good!"
Zhao Yin nodded.
For safety reasons, the train station is not located inside the city, but in an open place outside the city, but it is not too far.
……
The next day, after Zhao Yin had breakfast, he took a carriage to the palace.
He calculated the time, and when he arrived at the palace gate, Li Er also happened to take the group out of the palace gate, and they went to the train station outside the city together.
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
Lin Wu, who received the news, greeted Li Er outside the train station early.
"Excuse me......!"
Li Er waved his hand, craned his neck and looked inside, "Can the train leave?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the train is boiling water now, and it will be ready to run later!"
Lin Wu replied respectfully.
"Okay, take me to see!"
Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
So, under the leadership of Lin Wu, the group entered the train station.
Since Zhao Yin invented cement, all new buildings have been converted to cement, and this castle tower is no exception.
At the top of the station, three eye-catching characters of "Chang'an Station" are written in red paint!
"This station is well built!"
Li Er looked up and nodded in admiration.
Entering the station, there is the ticket hall and waiting room, which are also made by Zhao Yin in imitation of later generations!
These things, for Li Er, are all very fresh.
He looked left and right, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden!
After visiting the station, Lin Wu led everyone to the platform.
"Oh my God, this is the train?"
Eldest Sun Wuji looked at the long train and couldn't help but sigh.
"Didn't Zhao Guogong have seen a train before? How can it still be so novel? ”
Zhao Yin looked at his unseen appearance and smiled mockingly.
"The last time I saw it was just a locomotive, I didn't expect the train to be so long?"
The eldest grandson Wuji did not hide his surprise at all.
Because except for Zhao Yin, everyone's expressions were the same as him, and they were so surprised that they couldn't be more surprised!
"Let's go! Let's go up and have a look! ”
Li Er patted the body of the train and said happily.
When you get on the train, the first thing you see is the hard seats, all the chairs are fixed and immovable!
"Your Majesty, these are low-priced hard seats, suitable for ordinary people, and there are some sleepers in the back, on which you can lie down and sleep, but the price is also higher than these hard seats!"
Zhao Yin began to introduce briefly.
"Let's go and see what the sleeper looks like!"
Lie couldn't help but be curious, and walked in the direction Zhao Yin pointed.
"This is a sleeper? It's really good, when I travel in the future, I will take this kind of sleeper, not only can I enjoy the scenery, but I can also sleep on it......! ”
Li Er lay on the sleeper and felt it for a while, and began to think, "When I am free, I will make a sleeper and go to Luoyang to have a look!" ”
"Can we sit on it and feel it?"
Cheng Yanjin asked cheekily.
He was also full of curiosity about the train, and the last time he just rode a horse to follow it, he already felt that the train was going fast.
If you can experience it for yourself, it will definitely be like a lightning speed!
As soon as his words fell, the other ministers also looked at Lin Wu with anticipation, and they all wanted to experience it in advance!
"This ......!"
Lin Wu looked at Zhao Yin in embarrassment.
Although he was developing the train, all orders still had to be obeyed by the horses!
What's more, a few days ago, the colt specially confessed that after testing for a period of time, it was determined that there were no accidents before it could carry passengers!
"How many times have you tested it?"
Zhao Yin saw his embarrassment and asked.
"I've been on six trips before and after!"
"But what went wrong?"
"According to the news from the flying pigeons, everything is normal, there are no accidents!"
"Okay, then let's drive a hundred miles!"
Hearing that there was no danger, Zhao Yin gave an order.
You know, this person in the car is the king of a country, if something happens to him, Datang will fall into chaos!
"Great!"
The ministers cheered.
It seems that thick skin also has the benefit of thick skin!
The reason why Zhao Yin said to drive a hundred miles is because in the process of training drivers, they are all running this hundred miles repeatedly, and they are also familiar with this section, so there should be no accidents!
"Yes!"
After Lin Wu received the order, he turned around and went to make arrangements.
And Zhao Yin and the others sat in the same carriage with Li Er, just in case!
