As the train moved along, the nervous wealthy merchants grabbed the armrests of their seats one by one, but soon they all relaxed in unison. Vertices are updated the fastest

Because the train didn't seem to be as bumpy and dangerous as expected, Wu Wang Li Ke, who had been standing there without help, even shook it lightly and stood firmly in place.

The relaxed wealthy businessmen soon immersed themselves in the thrill of the speeding train, looking at the scenery flying by outside the window, these top rich people in Chang'an City shouted in surprise.

"Look, isn't that one ...... just passed, isn't it a three-hundred-mile urgent messenger?"

"It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be as fast as ours."

"Amazing, it's really amazing, if this railway can be repaired to the Western Regions, wouldn't it be possible to get from Chang'an to Yumen Pass in two days?"

"Cut, look at your little bit of interest, if you want me to say that you will keep repairing to the Persian side, then our goods can be transported in ten days, now run once a year, then we can run thirty times a year."

"Old Jiang, then you are going to make a fortune, thirty times a Chinese New Year's Eve, you really dare to think about it."

For more than half an hour, the train passed through Tongguan, and the enthusiasm of the businessmen was still undiminished, and at this time, there was a ten-year-old young girl, pushing a small car, and all kinds of drinks were placed on the car, including tea and wine.

The wealthy merchants were a little overwhelmed, looking at the girl with doubts in their eyes.

"Give me a glass of grape wine." Li Ke stopped the girl with a familiar car and gave an order.

He was demonstrating to those rich businessmen, saving those turtles from knowing what to do.

There was only a shallow layer of grape wine in the crystal clear wine glass, and the young girl handed the cup to Li Ke's hand, said 'Please use it slowly' and continued to push the car forward.

"Bring me a glass of grape too." The wealthy businessmen followed Li Ke's example and stopped the girl.

Of course, there are also some smart people who will try to ask for something else, such as tea or liquor.

At this time, after pouring the drink, the girl will smile and put the cup into the groove on the armrest of the seat, and make a gesture of please by the way.

It was only by this time that merchants knew the purpose of the groove in the armrest of the chair.

Sitting in a soft chair, sipping all kinds of free drinks, looking out the window at the summer farmland, the wind does not blow or rain, and the train has arrived in Luoyang three hours later.

When have wealthy businessmen ever experienced such a comfortable trip? One by one, they were excited, and they raised their glasses to celebrate, during which someone shouted: "Your Royal Highness King Wu, the villain thinks that this fare is not much than five hundred yuan." ”

"Yes, five hundred is indeed not much." The rich businessmen like turtles chimed in.

Free drinks, comfortable seats, sweet-looking waitresses, all this made them feel that if they gave the price low, it would only reduce their qualifications. Therefore, this price must be high, so high that ordinary people can't afford to sit down, and so high that it is daunting, so that the forced price will naturally be high.

Li Ke smiled and said nothing, and his heart was already happy.

At the beginning, Li Chengqian wanted to position the price of this carriage in Baiwen, but he Li Xiaosan used a little trick, and the price immediately increased fivefold, I have to say that when it comes to making money, the big brother is not a little worse than himself.

"Okay, since everyone says so, then the ticket price of this business car from Chang'an to Luoyang is set at 500 Wen, but it needs to be noted that 500 Wen is only the price from Chang'an to Luoyang, if you go to a farther place in the future, the fare will increase." Although Li Ke was very happy, he still did not forget the distance and gave those wealthy businessmen a preventive shot in advance.

"Deserved, deserved." As Li Ke's words fell, the businessman surnamed Jiang immediately responded.

For him, a few hundred wen is not the most important thing, if he used to go from Chang'an to Luoyang, how could it take three days to take a carriage, and these three days even to eat and live with him is afraid that five hundred wen is not enough.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, this, this price seems to be a little wrong...... At the same time that Jiang Fatzi responded to Li Ke's call, a guy who usually had some trouble with him stood up.

"What's wrong? If you think it's expensive, don't sit. Jiang Fat didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, and immediately sneered.

"Jiang Fatzi, my old Han (the author's real friend cameo) has always spoken fairly, and I can't do it for 500 yuan and 600 miles." The guy who didn't deal with Jiang Fatzi sneered, and stiffened his neck: "Why don't we set a penny for one mile, six hundred miles from Chang'an to Luoyang, let's set six hundred wen, do you dare?" ”

"Why don't you dare? Could it be that I am still short of that 100 pennies. Jiang Fatzi couldn't be excited, and immediately counterattacked when he heard the words.

"Okay, so what do you think?" Old Han, who had ridiculed Jiang Fatzi, immediately made a decision, and then looked at the others present.

At this time, the people sitting in the carriage were all the top wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, who was willing to lose face for a hundred yuan, and they all applauded at the moment.

As a result, the ticket price from Chang'an to Luoyang increased by another hundred, and it rose dramatically to 600 wen.

That's 600 Wen, according to the coal price of Datang at that time, 600 Wen is enough to buy 2,000 catties, and the coal required from Chang'an to Luoyang is about 3,000 catties at most.

That is to say, if according to the pricing of these guys, a train from Chang'an to Luoyang, as long as it is loaded with two of them, it can be profitable, not to mention that there are some ordinary carriages in the back.

The originally stopped train trembled, and then with a whistle, the train moved again, but the direction changed to Chang'an, and the rich merchant was led into another identical carriage, but the seat of this carriage was opposite to the one just now.

As for why this is the case, it is because considering that the turtles of the Tang Dynasty have never taken a train, if they move upside down to look at the scenery around them, it will cause physical discomfort, so they specially used this way to connect the two groups of carriages together.

And when the train is officially running, there will be no such connection method.

……

"Okay guys, with a trip from Chang'an to Luoyang, I believe you should have an intuitive understanding of the train, so let's talk about the most important thing today." After waiting for the train to run steadily, Li Ke came to the front of the crowd and gently high-fived everyone's attention.

This time from Chang'an, the problem of train fares is just a trivial matter, the most important thing is to let businessmen experience the convenience brought by speed, and the cost of freight is the root of today's travel.
