Chapter 512: This is VIP service

As for the issue of freight, a discerning person can calculate the greasy in it.

But this problem is again a difficult problem to solve, unless the imperial court abolishes the current box, but in that case, new problems will arise.

For example, when loading, a carriage cannot be filled, such as when transporting steel goods, due to its own heavy weight, so no matter what is done, it is impossible to fill a carriage.

And this problem, in fact, can only be seen by the benevolent and the wise, and there is no particularly good way to solve it.

Of course, it is not completely impossible, for example, it is stipulated that certain types of goods are calculated according to boxes, or by weight, but in that case, it will obviously cause dissatisfaction among some people.

So, after months of discussion and arguing, in the end it could only be resolved in this way.

It took half a day to load the cargo, and there were other trains parked at the station, but those trains clearly showed no signs of moving.

The passenger station has also reached the departure time, and the flow of people is mostly those freight owners.

Some are not at ease with the goods leaving them, others are purely curious, and of course, there are also those who are doing it for some purpose.

"Father, it's so spacious and bright here...... a young woman took off the gauze on her face after boarding the train car, curiously probing everything in the car, and couldn't help but shout.

"Tsk, I really didn't expect that the imperial court would use crystals for this......" The middle-aged man pouted, all sighing at the luxury of the train.

In terms of family background, there are not many people in the entire Datang who dare to compare with their family, in other words, if they make a list, although their family is not as good as before, it is at least in the top 20.

But even their family didn't dare to use the crystal as a window.

"Master, this court is really good at making money, the old slave inquired before, the back carriage costs thirty-three yuan per person, eleven stations on the way, each additional station adds three dollars, a carriage has a hundred seats, and I heard that it can also stand. In addition to these ordinary carriages, there is also a type of carriage that can be slept lying down, and it costs five cents per person per station. And our carriage, ten yuan per person at each station, and an additional ten yuan for the use of the car......" The butler-like man looked painful.

He has calculated this account, even if he charters the back carriage, it is only three times and three hundred dollars is enough, even if it can sleep, six times the money is about the same.

But now their carriage, whether it is a single fare or a usage fee, is scaryly expensive, and there are ten of them on this trip, and it costs more than 20 yuan for a one-way ticket alone.

"This gentleman, if you think so, but it is a bit biased, cheap has the benefits of cheap, expensive has the truth of expensive, if you have been to several different carriages to experience, you will understand that this carriage is really worth the money." There are two attendants in the carriage, a man and a woman, who serve different guests according to their genders.

Of course, women still rarely come out to do these jobs in this era, but it is not nothing, and the job of being a flight attendant, how to say, in order to recruit suitable flight attendants, their wages are the same as that of male flight attendants.

And you can also take a break for each round trip, which means that you can run for a day, rest for a day, and properly take a rest and a monthly salary......

Three-three-nine, three-forty-two, three-five-one-fifteen, three-eighth Women's Day......

One hundred and fifty dollars a month, fifteen days, one hundred and fifty dollars, an average salary of ten dollars a day, this job, how many people have broken their heads and wanted to squeeze in.

At this time, it was the male flight attendant who spoke, and the woman had just started operating, although she had learned, but at this time there was always a feeling that she couldn't start.

"Can you tell me what's the difference?" The woman who got on the bus first didn't think it was too expensive, well, in this family, money is not money at all, she was just curious about what the value for money in the mouth of the flight attendant meant?

"Okay!" The male flight attendant nodded and began to walk to the front: "Let's talk about service first, first of all, there is a special person to serve in this carriage, that is, the two of us, from you get on the train to get off the train, we will stay here during the period, if necessary, you can call us at any time." In other carriages, there is only one attendant in each carriage who is responsible for maintaining order. In addition, hot water is also available in this carriage at any time, which is not available in other carriages, and in terms of food, this carriage provides three meals, equipped with a separate restaurant, if necessary, when booking a train, you can make a request in advance, and the station will prepare three meals in advance, but this is required to charge separately.

Of course, the taste may not be the same as the outside, but this is only subject to the factors of the conditions, in fact, on the whole, the taste is still very good, for example, the lunch provided is hot pot, all the pot bases and dishes, are directly sent from the Chang'an Taipingfang Royal Hot Pot Restaurant, the taste is the same, but the environment is different, the experience is different, so sometimes the taste is different.

Another example is these seats, the back are all hardwood seats, which will definitely be uncomfortable to sit for a long time, but here there is no such confusion, because these are soft-soled and elastic.

The other is the bedroom, there are six bedrooms in the car, if you are tired, you can rest in it......"

The male waiter introduced the entire carriage without missing a single detail.

All in all, in short, it is to tell everyone the fact that this is a specially customized carriage, and all the items are decorated differently from other carriages, and even directly tell everyone that the cost of this carriage is the cost of the next ten carriages combined, so only ten times at a time, it is actually very cheap.

All objects on the train are fixed, mainly to prevent tables and chairs from moving due to inertia, resulting in accidents.

"It's really worth the money!" The middle-aged man nodded, he also saw the situation in the back carriage when he got on the train just now, although it can't be described as crowded, but a hundred people sit in a carriage, which is still quite uncomfortable for him personally.

And this carriage is a little more expensive, but it is indeed worth the money, not to mention the service provided for the time being, it is to let people see, that is also a lot of face.

As everyone finished visiting, the train began to move slowly.

It's very smooth, and there is hardly any special feeling, of course, the main reason is because of the lack of power, from the start to the speed, this distance takes about 20 miles.

In other words, within twenty miles of leaving the station, the train is speeding up.

But even so, it still makes everyone curious.

They have seen the train, and they have seen it from afar during the test, but this is the first time to take the train, especially looking at the scene of flying upside down outside the window, one by one they are even more excited and can't do it, lying on the glass of the window, shouting in surprise, looking like they have never seen the world.

Of course, no one can say anyone now, no one has experienced it, and even the driver who controls the train exclaimed again and again that it was too exciting when he learned it for the first time.

The speed of the train is actually not fast, compared to the time of the test, the speed of the train officially put into use is slower, and it is not even as fast as the galloping war horse.

But everyone knows that war horses can't be compared with trains, because war horses can't run non-stop all the time, but trains can.

Because there is a fixed track, there is no need to worry about whether you can't see the road or anything, and even at night, the train will still be speeding at the speed of the day.

It's just that the dim lights in the carriage, the darkness outside, and the sound of sizzling that has never left the ears, the day's march still makes people feel a little tired.

The passenger train was a full third faster than the freight train, and the freight train departed after waiting less than half a cup of tea.

Of course, because there was no stop along the way, the passenger car stopped ten times, and in fact, the arrival time of the two trains was not too long, only less than two hours.

And this trip also made them truly understand what the flight attendant meant by value for money.

Not to mention the advantage of time, ten people occupy a carriage, not to mention the spacious place.

"When will this train return?" After getting out of the car, the middle-aged man asked the housekeeper beside him.

"Master, it is said that in two hours, they will enter the station to add coal and water."

"Father, it's hard to come to Luozhou, why don't you play here for a few days and then go back?" The girl seemed to be aware of her father's thoughts, but she didn't want to go back so soon, so she hurriedly hugged her father's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay, then stay two days and go back!" The middle-aged man thought about it and felt that it might be too late in terms of time.

This trip out, in fact, is to see what is going on with the freight, as much as I said before, but I can't always take a look at it myself, if the effect can, all the way to transport by train freight in the future, a year down, their own just in the freight can save thousands of costs, and this, are all earned by them.

"Shall we go around the city, then?" The girl looked at her father with some concern, she knew that this trip was not for fun, so she felt a little unconfident.

"Liang Cheng, you take someone to protect the safety of the young lady, Lao Wu and I will take a look at the station, before dark, let's meet at the gate of the station."
