But after a while, everyone finally walked into the train car, the car where Liu Xia was was was highly confidential, and no one outside knew which carriage Liu Xia would sit in.

Under the guidance of Luo Chengxian, Liu Xia walked into the No. 3 carriage, the decoration of the No. 3 carriage is different from other carriages, the other carriages are ordinary seats, but this No. 3 carriage has tables and chairs, just like a small office.

The interior is entirely made of wood, with delicate carvings and a glossy black finish. The seat is very comfortable, Liu Xia's bearer Bian Yujing strolled to his seat, opposite Liu Xia is a row of seats, and there are also rows of seats behind, Liu Xia is protected in the middle. Regardless of the front and back, the closest row to Liu Xia were soldiers of the Guards. After that, there were representatives of the representatives invited by Liu Xia. And the ministers.

More than 600 people slowly walked on the train, and at this time, hundreds of guards came up with refreshments and fruits, and now it was June, and the weather was slightly hot, so Luo Chengxian placed a lot of ice cubes at the train station. Because the glass technology has been very mature, so this train is decorated with glass, different from the previous train, this train uses glass, you can see the outside from the inside, but from the outside is not clear inside, this is also to protect Liu Xia's safety, so that people outside know which carriage Liu Xia is in.

With ice cooling, it became cool in all six carriages, which made many people can't help but sigh comfortably.

"It's so comfortable! I just don't know how the train runs. ”

An official lay on a chair made of bamboo and spoke comfortably. Now that the weather is hot, Luo Chengxian spread a layer of bamboo on top of the original cotton chair.

Luo Chengxian walked to Liu Xia's side, smiled, and said, "Back to the prince, now that the personnel have arrived, do you want to start the train?" ”

Liu Xia said: "Let's go, this king will see how this train is." ”

"Yes." After that, Luo Chengxian asked a guard next to him to go to the locomotive to inform the driver and let him drive the train.

After a while, only a whistle sounded, and the train began to move slowly.

"Look! The train is gone! A merchant representative pointed outside and exclaimed.

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, others also know that most people's heads are looking out now, and the train is moving, and they naturally know.

In a few moments, the train left the station, and as soon as it got out, people outside the station could see the train.

"The prince is in that train, I really don't know what it's like, I really want to try it."

"Drive!" At this time, many ordinary people and merchants spontaneously rode their horses at home and began to follow the train all the way.

This suddenly became a beautiful scenery along the line.

The people living on both sides of the way, watching the train speeding past in front of their eyes, they are no longer surprised, when the Academy of Science and Technology tested the train before, they often came to see, but they saw too much. At first, it was a fresh picture, but it was boring to see more slowly.

They didn't know that this time the train was speeding and the last time was very different.

"Mother, you see another monster is coming."

A six- or seven-year-old child, grinning, pointed to a speeding train and shouted to a farmer in a nearby field.

"It's not a monster, I heard it's called a train, and it can seat people." The farmer made it to the ground, pointing to the train in the distance and explaining it to the children next to her, but she didn't know much about the train herself, which she had heard from other people's mouths.

"Mother, then why does he still smoke?" The child asked curiously, pointing to the thick black smoke above the locomotive.

The peasant woman was stunned for a moment, for she did not know why the train was smoking, which was not something she could understand.

"It's the train panting tired."

"Then why is it so much gasp?"

"If you run fast, you will pant hard. Okay, let's go home, and when your father comes back, it's time to shout that you're going to be hungry again. ”

The train sped by.

In the carriage, Liu Xia and Bian Yujing sat together, chatting happily with the delegates opposite at the moment.

Many people are looking at the scenery outside, looking at the scenery speeding by outside, and they are more and more interested in this train.

"This train is really comfortable and not bumpy at all, if you take a carriage on this way, you must be bumpy and your back hurts, I didn't expect this train to be so smooth. It would be nice if every state capital had a train, so that you could take the train when you go out to inspect and not be so tired. An official said with a smile.

When Luo Chengxian heard this, he smiled slightly, after all, the things he made were recognized by others, how could this not make him feel comfortable?

Nowadays, technology is still in its infancy, and radio has not yet been developed, so trains cannot be driven casually, and they may collide if they are not done well, so the position of each train must be strictly controlled at all times.

"In the future, it will definitely go to the state capitals, but you have to take your time, and now there is not enough steel production, and it is difficult to lay railways on a large scale."

"Lord Wang, the railway is fragile and easy to destroy, once it is destroyed, if the train does not know, it is very likely to derail and overturn, which-" Luo Chengxian said his concerns.

After all, it is a time of war, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no place for scouts to run into their own territory to destroy the train tracks.

"Well, you have a point, the train track must be closely protected. It was necessary to set up a protective post at intervals and send soldiers to guard it. ”

Luo Chengxian is now the person in charge of the railway company, and he has the most say in the train, so he only listened to him: "What the prince said is exact, but I don't know where the soldiers at this protective station should be——"

The railway corporation should be regarded as a commercial organization, but at this moment, after all, it is an era of war, and some special events will inevitably occur, so it cannot be directly attributed to the civil affairs at present, and now it should also be mixed with some military and political institutions.

"This king intends to set up a railway department, which is responsible for the construction and operation of the railway, as well as research and development, and the personnel of the railway department are under the responsibility of the logistics department, and the protection station is also managed by both the logistics department and the railway department, and the soldiers of the protection station are transferred from the logistics department. As for the rest, the Railway Division is responsible. At the same time, a train inspection was set up on the trains, which was under the responsibility of the Investigation Department and the Railway Department. ”

Now the power of the railway department has been split into three parts, which are controlled by the logistics department, the investigation department and the railway department, which is also a compromise method that Liu Xiaxiang came up with.

"As for the general director of the railway department, you will be Chengxian for the time being, and as for the railway company, it will be merged into the railway department and become a department that manages the income of railway operations."

After Liu Xia said this, he turned his head to look at Li Fengyun's widow, Li Fengyun was the captain who led a brigade to die during the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and then Liu Xia personally awarded Li Fengyun's brigade the highest honor in the Guards Brigade, and was renamed Fengyun Brigade. After Liu Xia returned to Luoyang, he even went to Li Fengyun's home in person to visit his wife.

At that time, Li Fengyun's wife was pregnant, and now the child is four or five years old, and she is waiting in Li Fengyun's wife's arms at the moment looking out the window curiously with dark eyes.

Li Fengyun's wife is not very old, she is still very young. There were also people in the family urging her to marry again, but she was unwilling. Fortunately, Liu Xia will give them a certain subsidy every month, otherwise she really doesn't know how to live as a woman with a child.

Today, when the train was running, she was invited again. To. Li Fengyun's deeds have now spread everywhere, and Liu Xia hyped and exaggerated his deeds in order to make the soldiers brave in battle. At this moment, you can see an article about writing about Li Fengyun in the colleges of every prefecture and state. This article was written by Liu Xia himself.

"How has my sister-in-law been all these years? Are there any officials who have the power to bully you? How is security in your place? Liu Xia asked him.

I saw the corner of the woman's mouth smiling slightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, the women have been doing well over the years." If it weren't for the fact that the prince would send out silver coins every month, I am afraid that our orphans and widows would not be able to live a long time ago. The prince is kind to both our mother and son. ”
