Chapter 330: Yan Ruyu's belly is big
In the case of the same total length of the carriage, the soft sleeper car of the later generations has nine private rooms and 36 beds, while the design of Ang Lee has only six boxes and 24 beds, so that the width of each box is one and a half times that of the later generations, so that the width of the bed and the aisle can be increased, so that people can stay in it more comfortably, which can be called a five-star enjoyment.

The consumption orientation of the soft sleeper car is the noble officials and aristocrats, and the wealthy businessmen with a lot of money, to create a comfortable riding environment for them, and charge high fares, and the number of these nobles is relatively small after all, so each train only prepares a soft sleeper car.
In terms of ticket sales for soft sleepers, you can either buy a single bed or buy all four beds in a private room, which is to consider that the rich and noble have servants to follow, so that after buying a private room, it can be more convenient for these servants to serve their masters.
Of course, after buying the entire private room, there is no limit to the number of people inside, as long as the guests who spend money to buy tickets are willing to let ten servants accompany them, but if you only buy one sleeper ticket, you can only have one person, and if you bring a servant, you can buy a hard seat ticket! so as not to disturb other guests in the same private room.
Hard sleeper carriage is more suitable for long-distance people, such as Chang'an City to Luoyang City only seven or eight hundred miles, most of the day's work is there, not too much, but there are still some people with weak physique, continuous sitting will not be able to stand, or people who like to lie down, you can buy a hard sleeper ticket.
Compared with the comfort and spaciousness of the soft sleeper, the conditions of the hard sleeper are much worse, and a carriage designed by Ang Lee is divided into ten groups of high-priced beds, each group has six berths, and the ten groups have 60 berths, which is more than double the 24-berth soft seats.
Of course, the price of the hard sleeper is much cheaper, and the price of the hard seat conceived by Ang Lee should be one-third of the soft sleeper, so it is much cheaper.
And because the current track laying is only a line not too far away, so, the configuration of the hard sleeper car is also less, a train two hard sleeper cars are good, more is not necessary, of course, if the railway is repaired to Anxi in the future, the hard sleeper car will occupy the mainstream.
Both soft and hard seats are one seat per person, but the environment of soft seats is better, and hard seats are relatively poor, which is not only reflected in the softness and comfort of the seats, but also in many aspects.
For example, the seats of the soft seat carriage are four seats per row, two on the left and right sides, and the hard seat carriage has five seats in a row, the width of each seat is relatively lower, the aisle in the middle is narrower, and the spacing between each two rows is not the same, the soft seat has a total of 20 rows, each row has four seats, and a total of 80 people can be seated, while the hard seat has as many as 30 rows, each row has five seats, and a total of 150 people should be accommodated.
There is also the number and size of the tempered jade glass of the window, the soft seat compartment is more and larger, the car is brighter, and the hard seat is relatively dim.
The car experience is different, in terms of fare, of course, there is a relatively big difference, the ticket price of the hard seat is only about half of the soft seat, and the price of the soft seat is slightly lower than the price of the hard sleeper, after all, the soft seat has 80 people in a carriage, and the hard sleeper is 60 people, the price is naturally a little more expensive than the hard sleeper.
Ang Lee thought about it again and again, feeling that the soft seats of a train need three carriages, and the hard seats are the most, set to five carriages, after all, there are more poor people, and their spending power is limited.
In addition to these standard four carriages, Ang Lee also designed a kind of empty shell carriage, which has no seats, of course, the top is designed with handrails, which is equivalent to the bus stop of later generations, so that such a carriage is enough to accommodate two or three hundred people, and the price is even cheaper, only half of the hard seat.
Although standing for most of the day is very torturous, compared to walking for more than half a month to reach the destination, it is already much more comfortable, which saves half a month, you can suffer a lot less sin, eat a lot less meals, and the money you can save is enough to make up for the loss of a long-term journey.
In the planning of the carriage sequence, Li Ang considered the first soft sleeper, followed by three consecutive soft seats, followed by the dining car, followed by two hard sleepers, followed by the most five hard seats, and three empty carriages without seats at the end.
According to Ang Lee's plan, the 15 carriages of this train are enough to transport nearly 2,000 passengers to the destination at one time.
Of course, the premise of realizing all this is that the locomotive must be built as soon as possible, otherwise, everything is just empty talk, and the steam engine model has been built, the steam locomotive is about to come out, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before all this is realized.
In order to quickly facilitate the life of the people after the locomotive is built, the construction of a large number of train carriages must start as soon as possible, and continue to accumulate technology, improve the level of construction and reduce costs.
The site for the mass construction of train carriages is placed in the R&D center, anyway, the space here is large enough, at least there are still large pieces of vacant land, and it is not too late to move out after the land is tight in the future, so that all kinds of talents are gathered together to facilitate research and exchanges, and other researchers can also come to visit the process of producing carriages, so as to inspire and make themselves better invented.
Since the steam locomotive was built, Li An's enthusiasm for work has suddenly become a lot higher, because trains and railways are too important to the Tang Empire, only by shortening the transportation, the Tang Dynasty can better control the remote areas, and even, continue to expand the territory, so that the Tang Dynasty's frontier extends outward again.
There was a saying in later generations: "Where the railroad is laid, the interests of the empire will be extended." Thus, the railroad can completely change the frontier of an empire's interests, and in the face of a large-capacity railway, the empire's violent apparatus can reach wherever the railroad can extend at any time, so as to protect the interests of the region.
Although there were many difficulties and setbacks encountered in the development process, Ang Lee enjoyed it, and every time he achieved a phased result, he could make Ang Lee excited for a long time.
In order to develop the steam locomotive, Li An has given up going to Luoyang to inspect the track laying process, anyway, there are so many officials in charge of the Ministry of Industry, there will not be much problem with the rails, the construction of the carriage is next to the research and development center, when there is a small problem, Li An will of course go over to see, and make some guidance to solve the problems encountered.
Of course, because the R&D center is next to his own courtyard, for this reason, even if he puts more energy into R&D, Li Ang has to go back to the mansion every night.
In addition, Li Ang is tired from a long day of work, and he also needs to relax, he can eat a small bowl of ice cream when he returns to the mansion, and hug Yan Ruyu to play in the swimming pool for a while, and even snap for half an hour to relax.
Speaking of which, Ang Lee's inspiration is a little strange, it seems that every time after pampering Yan Ruyu, he suddenly has some kind of inspiration, if there is no Yan Ruyu to accompany him, Ang Lee feels that he may have to invent a lot less.
"Madam, there are so many good dishes today, why don't you eat them!"
Seeing Yan Ruyu looking at the food in a daze, Li An asked curiously.
"My husband has been very busy lately, and he came back late, so he doesn't care about Ruyu at all."
"How could I not care about you? Isn't it a husband who pampers you every day? This is not enough. ”
Ang Lee said playfully.
"Hmph, you just want your own comfort, you fall asleep when you're done, and you don't care about others at all."
Yan Ruyu said aggrievedly.
"Madam, I was wrong, I have been too busy lately, neglecting my care and love for you, come, let me hug my husband."
Seeing that Yan Ruyu was a little aggrieved, Li An directly put down the dishes and chopsticks, took Yan Ruyu into his arms, and kissed Yan Ruyu's forehead and eyes.
"Well~~~~"
Under Ang Lee's gentle caresses, Yan Ruyu's face was full of happiness and made a coquettish sound.
"Little jade baby, let's eat!"
Li An kissed Yan Ruyu's pink and tender little mouth, and said softly.
"Husband, don't you ask, why don't I want to eat?"
Yan Ruyu pursed her mouth again.
"Isn't it because your husband snubbed you? I apologize. ”
Li An frowned slightly.
"Woooooooooo......oo The husband also said that he cares about other people, and he can't even see the changes in other people's bodies? ”
Yan Ruyu was sad again.
"Changes in the body?"
Li An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Yan Ruyu's belly seemed to be bigger, he had always thought that he had eaten too much, but he ignored another possibility.
"Madame's belly is bigger, can't she have a baby!"
Ang Lee guessed with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hmph, you men! It's just carelessness, it's been two months, and you can't find out. ”
Yan Ruyu glanced at Li An angrily.
"Really? You really have a baby in your belly, haha! It's great that we finally have a baby. ”
Ang Lee jumped up excitedly.
"Hmph, look at you, I found out half a month ago, I've been waiting for you to find out, but you must not care about other people's bodies."
Yan Ruyu said reproachfully.
"Madam, I always thought you had eaten too much, and I was to blame for it, but Madame should have told me earlier! How dangerous this is! ”
Li An knew that the first three were very dangerous, and suddenly, he had some palpitations.
"So, I've been shouting about pain lately, let my husband be lighter! This can be regarded as a reminder, but the husband still can't find out, he really has no conscience. ”
Yan Ruyu still has some complaints on the whole.
"Okay, okay, it's all my husband's fault, everything is my husband's fault, in the future, I will spend more time with my wife every day, and if there is a violation, let my wife spank me."
Li An opened his mouth to reassure.
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu turned her anger into joy, and snuggled tightly in Ang Lee's arms, like a docile kitten, sticking to Ang Lee with tenderness.
"Madam, you need to eat more when you have a baby, come, let your husband feed you."
Li An hugged Yan Ruyu very tenderly, and fed the food into Yan Ruyu's mouth one bite at a time, making Yan Ruyu happy, and the whole person melted.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, summer has passed, and autumn is slowly coming.
Autumn is the harvest season, and all kinds of plants and fruit trees are already fruitful, and the harvest season is approaching.
In ancient times, agriculture was the core industry of an empire, and it was the most important industry related to the life and death of the empire.
As a strong and stable empire, the Tang Dynasty also attaches great importance to agriculture, and now, the autumn harvest is about to begin, and the focus of the work of the court is naturally on the autumn harvest, and court officials at all levels are busy with the work related to the autumn harvest.
As the emperor of a country, Li Longji naturally attached great importance to the autumn harvest work, and convened important ministers in the Zichen Hall to deploy the work related to the autumn harvest.
"The autumn harvest is less than ten days, you Aiqing must fully cooperate and do a good job in the autumn harvest, if there are any difficulties, you can tell me, I will help you solve them."
Li Longji looked at the ministers, in addition to a few prime ministers, these ministers also have important officials from various departments, usually, these officials who do not have the title of prime minister are not qualified to enter the Zichen Palace, and now the emperor has summoned them, which can be regarded as paying special attention to them.
"Your Majesty, the household department and officials at all levels have already made arrangements, but the railroad tracks are being laid along the line from Luoyang to Chang'an, and if these tens of thousands of laborers cannot return home in time to harvest, I am afraid that it will have a greater impact on the autumn harvest."
A household official spoke.
When Li Longji heard this, he looked at several officials of the Ministry of Industry and asked, "How long will it take for the railroad tracks to be laid?" ”
"Your Majesty, within ten days, the railroad tracks will definitely be laid."
The Ministry of Works official immediately replied.
"Your Majesty, if it doesn't affect the autumn harvest, tens of thousands of laborers should stop work now and start construction again after the autumn harvest, otherwise, it will definitely be too late."
"Yes! Your Majesty, many of the people who were requisitioned in Guanzhong are now in Luoyang, even if they can return in ten days, it will take half a month to return to Chang'an from Luoyang, and then return to their fields, it may take many days, so that most of the months have passed, and the autumn harvest will definitely be delayed. ”
Several ministers pointed out the problems faced by tens of thousands of laborers, especially the laborers requisitioned in Guanzhong, which would take a lot of time to return to Guanzhong, and would definitely delay the agricultural time.
Li Longji frowned, looked at the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and said softly: "If it can't be completed within five days, let the people go back to the autumn harvest first!" Not violating the agricultural time is the first priority, and the rails can be slow. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen will urge the craftsmen of all sections to speed up the progress of the laying, and strive to complete it within five days."
Officials from the Ministry of Industry spoke loudly.
"By the way, what has Li Shilang been busy with lately? Someone who hasn't seen him all along? ”
When the dynasty was dispersed, Li Longji looked at several ministers of the Ministry of Industry and asked.
