"Thank you, big sister!" Long Yuzhu also followed up and thanked him, for Guang'an's graceful bearing, every move was impeccable elegance. She has long been envious, and now that someone is taught, of course she is very happy, but she doesn't understand whether she will be despised by Datang officials.

………………

The snow scene of Chang'an, which is different from the Western Regions, has a lot of people watching, and there are people walking in the snow looking for plum blossoms everywhere.

The original palace group of Longshou has been fully renovated, the new city under the mountain has also been built, the whole new city does not have a city wall, all adopt the ring line style, look down from the top of the mountain, it is a circle, a circle, need to expand in the future, and can continue to build around the city.

The people who moved into the new city were almost all nobles, families, and businessmen, especially the villas in the middle of the mountain, whose status was low, and they were not eligible to move in if they had less money.

The bottom of the mountain is also quite interesting, the playground is in the east, all the merchants live nearby, and the south side is near the foot of the mountain is the station, in order to travel conveniently, there are many officials who choose this place.

Chang'an City now gathers tens of thousands of officials, plus their families, there are more than 200,000 people in this area, which shows its scale, as a welfare, everything that belongs to the officials, Li Shimin is rewarded with a house, as for the small officials, of course, it is a collective dormitory.

High-ranking officials' mansions, small officials' independent buildings, and many skilled craftsmen, the allocated houses are about to catch up with the third and fourth grade officials, like Sun Simiao, Qingshi, whether they live in or not, the same high-rise buildings and courtyards as the second-grade officials, slaves and miscellaneous servants are all equipped in place.

200,000 coolies, 180,000 laborers, and 100,000 laborers, after a year of hard work, not only completed the first phase of the construction of the new city, but also completed the construction of the 20-mile railway from the new city to the old city of Chang'an.

Today, hundreds of thousands of people are on both sides of the road, waiting for the opening of traffic, although Li Shimin's Shenlong has seen it countless times, and there is no fuss about the car that can run without a horse, but the 15-zhang long car parked at the station, how to start, is still very curious.

At today's opening ceremony, not only the workers were allowed to watch, but also countless people in Chang'an, and the left and right Wuhou also all went out to maintain order.

Li Shimin took the minister of civil and military affairs to watch through the glass on the second floor of the station, and a thousand selected people, workers, as well as foreign envoys and merchants, were lining up to get on the train.

The first pass, of course, will not let Li Shimin get on the bus, for the unknown, it is better to let others explore.

"Please sit down, don't move, the train is about to start, there will be a little vibration at the beginning, please don't panic, stay calm, this is normal." The waiter who recruited the training explained loudly to the crowd who were looking around and watching.

The crowd that entered the carriage was sitting down honestly, holding on to nearby objects with their hands.

"Woo!!!" With a long sound, the body shook, and slowly began to move forward.

"It's moving, it's moving!" The people of Chang'an have all seen Li Shimin's car, and they have long been accustomed to hearing that long whistle, and when they heard the train whistle, they couldn't help but say to the people around them.

It's also a sense of pride, as if you know more than others.

Li Shimin and the others couldn't help but take a step forward when they saw the train start, and looked at it a little nervously, after all, the train looked so long, and there were a thousand people pulling, and many people were skeptical about whether it could be started.

"Boom! Boom! "The train changed from slow to fast, and gradually became fast, without much effort, only a small tail was seen.......

After a long time, everyone on the second floor put down the binoculars as if they were lost, listened to bursts of cheers and surprises in the distance, looked at each other, and were speechless for a long time, I really don't know how to describe the feelings in my heart.

Only Li Shimin seemed quite excited, and asked Li Jing beside him: "Li Aiqing, what do you think of this thing?" ”

"Return to the Holy Heavens, the important weapon of the country! With this thing, the army can go to the border in a few days, and the Tang Dynasty will be forever solid, congratulations to the saint! Li Jing congratulated.

Li Jing is worthy of being a military genius and is very aware of the benefits of trains.

"Haha! Ha ha! With the help of this thing, whether it is the Western Regions or Goguryeo, all of them are in my pocket. Li Shimin laughed happily.

"With this car, the transportation of grain and grass is greatly reduced, the logistics support is worry-free, and the army is invincible!" The fat on the eldest grandson Wuji's face trembled, and he touched his beard and sighed.

This is his cleverness, the horse's fart is good, and invisibly disturbs Li Shimin's itch.

"Not only military, but also commercial exchanges, also have great use, especially from Chang'an to Luoyang, there are a large number of goods every day, and after the train is opened, you can go in one day, and many goods that can not be sent can also be delivered, no wonder Weiguo advocates building this road first." Fang Xuanling touched his beard and nodded.

"The vision of defending the country has always been long-term, next year Chang'an to Luoyang road repair, whether it is tolls, or taxes, can be greatly improved, and so the railway all over the country, when the time comes to inspect the country, it will only be a few days of effort, the imperial court has greatly strengthened the local control a lot." Xiao Yu couldn't help but say.

Several people started from the perspective of their own management, taking into account the benefits of the train, which also gave Li Shimin a firm determination to engage in internal affairs first, and originally wanted to attack Goguryeo, but he didn't insist, the big deal is in a few years, anyway, it will be easier to fight when the time comes.

"You Aiqing are right, I also look forward to the day when the railway will spread all over the country, and Li Aiqing's train may support going so far?" Li Shimin said with a smile, and then asked Li Chunfeng, the great hero of the scientific research institute.

"Back to the saint, the steam engine used now is the third generation, which has been improved a lot, as long as there is coal, it can always operate, at most there are two maintenance personnel on the car." As soon as Li Chunfeng talked about the machine, he immediately explained.

"What about the steam engine on board? Can you cross the ocean? They didn't have any supplies on the way. Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, digested his meaning and asked again.

"No problem at all, even if there is no coal, it is feasible to use wood fire, but it doesn't have that much power, they have a supply ship, which is theoretically enough for a year." Li Chunfeng replied with a sharp answer.

"That's good, your scientific research institute is working hard, check it more, they are all good sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty, they can't be folded in the sea, they will set off after the beginning of spring." Li Shimin nodded and told repeatedly.

"Holy benevolence, the ministers will abide by the holy precepts, and they will not let you down, and they will not let the soldiers who go to sea have any mistakes because of the ministers." Li Chunfeng solemnly surrendered.

"Thank you for your hard work, pass on my message, after the train between Chang'an and Luoyang passes, I will reward you and others." Li Shimin said with satisfaction.

"Colleagues on behalf of the ministers thank the Holy Majesty first!"
