Chapter 356: The Train Is Coming

"This car is really long enough, can it be moved?" Li Ke and Li Hao took the lead and walked into the train, and no one had any opinion on this kind of ranking. Even the old guys who have retired like Cheng Fairy and Li Jing in the back have no opinion.

They don't have much to do with the affairs of the imperial court now, and they only go to participate in big discussions. In addition, their bodies are well maintained, and after a lot of time, these old guys are just like Li Hao, wandering around and seeing all kinds of new things.

I heard that the train here was going to pass, and they robbed half of the places of those incumbent officials, and then ran here one by one proudly following Li Ke and taking the train to Luoyang together.

"It's definitely okay to drive, since these have been tested, it's definitely going to work. Those engineers and scientists can still be reassured! Li Hao replied with a smile after listening to the discussion that followed.

What's the point of bringing a few hundred people and pulling some more things? Later generations of trains pulled more things than that, and they ran as fast as they could, so there was no need to worry about this problem.

"Woooooo At this moment, the whistle sounded from the front of the train, indicating that the train was about to leave. The people in the car were all quiet at the moment, and then sat nervously in their seats. It was the first time they had taken this kind of train, and they didn't know what it was like, so they all quieted down.

"Bang dang." At this moment, the train suddenly moved, making all the people on the train vigilant. The guards around Li Ke even ran to him to protect him, only Li Hao still looked out the window calmly.

This represents the start of the train, what's all the fuss about? I think that once upon a time, I didn't take less trains, and the train at that time was much more comfortable than now. The chairs in this car are too simple, and they are hard, and it is very uncomfortable to sit on. Li Hao felt that if he proposed to the people who built the trains, he had to add a cushion to the actions of these trains, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to sit up.

After a false alarm, the people around looked at Li Hao, who had a calm face, and they were all a little embarrassed, and then they all quieted down. You must know that Li Hao also took Xiao Wu and Gao Yang together, these two girls reacted very calmly, and that group of big men naturally couldn't fall behind in front of women.

As the train moved, the flute was played again, but this time it was longer, indicating that the train was starting. The carriage began to move slowly, and the scenery around it slowly receded, and then it became faster and faster.

"That's a lot faster than a carriage!" Li Ke hadn't realized anything yet, but the veterans not far away reacted extremely quickly! This thing is far faster than they expected! And it can pull so many people and things!

"No wonder the imperial court deliberately put the route of the Western Regions on the first plan to build, after having this thing, no matter how far the Western Regions are, it is also the territory of my Tang Dynasty, wahaha, I have to instill these things with those young officers and soldiers of the Military Academy when I go back."

Those old guys are attached to the military academy after retirement, and what they want to instill in the young officers and soldiers is nothing more than some bandit logic. For example, we now have trains, and one car can pull thousands of people over. This is completely free to bully a country over there, if you pull dozens of trips over, won't the Western Regions completely become the backyard of the Tang Dynasty?

"That's right! Go back and leave homework for those little guys, and let them come up with the battle plan for advancing into the Western Regions! ”

The Western Regions in the mouths of these people are very wide, basically covering West Asia, Africa and Europe in later generations. Although the map is clearly marked that those places should be Africa and Europe, these old guys have always referred to the Western Regions as a collective, and those places were originally in the west of the Tang Dynasty.

"These old guys, one by one, have been thinking about playing here and there all day long, and there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp." Li Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing the movement over there. Coupled with the train and the Persian Gulf Canal being excavated, isn't Datang ready to unify the Western Regions at any time?

Moreover, Li Hao said that the European section has a civilization no less than that of the Tang Dynasty, and if they are allowed to develop, it is very likely that they will be able to come over and start a war with the Tang Dynasty. On the side of the couch, it is not allowed for others to sleep soundly, so let them all be destroyed before they get up now.

And those European women look more pleasing to the eye than the women of Kunlun Nu and Tianzhu Nanyang, which is very in line with the aesthetics of Datang's figure. Although you can't stuff too many women into your palace, it's not bad to find a few European beautiful secretaries and translators once in a while.

Since having the profession of secretary, Li Ke feels that his daily life has become much simpler. If there is something to do, there is nothing to do, and that's it. After these secretaries took up their posts in the palace, they basically stayed here, otherwise they knew too many secrets, how could they let them out.

"War is a powerful tool to promote the development of a civilization, but in addition to the train is used to transport troops, doesn't the emperor think that if all the places in Datang are connected to the railway, the economic circulation of my Datang will be much faster? The emperor wants to go there, and the speed is a lot faster, and the development of science and technology has brought more than just war. ”

Li Hao smiled after hearing this, it is true that the military strength of the Tang Dynasty has brought great changes because of the development of science and technology, and muskets and artillery have made the war much easier. However, science and technology have also changed society, and now the rapid development of various industries in Datang is also inseparable from the support of science and technology.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, the train can arrive in one day, and after arriving here, the officials here have already received a telegram, and then fortified at the railway station to welcome Li Ke and their arrival. This car is occupied by the high-level of Datang, and if there is an accident, the entire Datang will be in turmoil.

"This speed is not worse than eight hundred miles of urgency, right? At such a speed, all kinds of emergencies will become much easier in the future. Coupled with the expressway, it will be easier to go anywhere in the future. ”

After the war, the old guys in the car became energetic again, and they had not experienced this feeling of galloping like a fast horse for a long time. Except for a few times along the way to add water and coal, there was no stop at all during the whole journey.

Moreover, there are also simple toilets on the train, and there are places such as kitchens, which make it a lot more convenient for people sitting on the train, which is completely a place that fast horses cannot match.

After arriving in Luoyang, Li Ke and the others stayed here for one night, and went back to Chang'an early the next day. Li Hao didn't go back, he and those old guys were going to stay in Luoyang for a while, and those old guys were going to take a steamer for a ride, and they hadn't taken that kind of new means of transportation yet.

Li Hao is here to preside over all the heads of his shopping malls and shareholders' meetings, with the development of the economy, the progress of the times, shopping malls must also make changes with the times, of course, there is also a focus on dividends.

How much money does Datang Mall make a year now? This has become an astronomical number in all important cities with the branches of Datang Mall. And some large and small shopping malls that follow the trend have also come out, so it is inevitable to keep pace with the times, otherwise they will be eliminated.

"In addition to buying products from all over Datang, our mall can also expand the role of the mall, so that the mall is not just a place to shop. Eating, drinking, and having fun can all be achieved in the mall, which can not only create a prosperous economic zone, but also make the business of the mall better. ”

Li Hao didn't expect this thing to develop so quickly, of course, this has a lot to do with the rapid development of Datang's economy now, everyone has money, and they are naturally willing to spend money to buy things.

However, how to develop the shopping mall, for Li Hao, who came from later generations, isn't it a very simple thing? In later generations, the mall was originally a place for shopping, but with the change of the times, it developed into a shopping and leisure center, and it is now just as suitable as it is here.

"I can set up a relationship with the Datang Opera House, so that their branches in Datang will be built together with our shopping mall in the future, and then we will introduce branches from all over the natural residence to the vicinity of the mall, and then you can introduce some local food to stay in various places and add some entertainment, so that you can eat, drink and have fun."

As long as they are ahead of everyone in some places, then they can take the lead in making money, and other people who follow the trend can only lag behind and drink some soup, and the loss is not enough, the purchasing power of the people of Datang is too strong now, and there are always places that Datang shopping malls cannot cover.

"It's a good idea, we'll come up with a plan and start setting it up in some big cities. However, in this way, you will have to pay less dividends in the coming year, and we need to increase our investment budget. After listening to Li Hao's words, the general manager of the mall felt that this idea was good and was ready to adopt it.

Other people don't have any opinions after hearing this, less dividends will be less dividends, and it doesn't matter if their family property is less now. On the contrary, after the rectification of his own shopping mall, the business will definitely go to a higher level in the future, and then do you still care about this little money?

Li Hao saw that these people had no opinions, and left the rest to them. The general person in charge of the mall here is his own student, if Li has bad intentions, it is easy to take other people's money, but it is difficult for others to take his money. So Li Hao never worries about what problems will happen to all his industries.

He didn't even care much about how much he was worth now, so he didn't know how much he was worth now, as if several banks in Datang also had his shares. In this way, I am afraid that his net worth can be described as rich and rival the country, and there is no problem at all. If Li Ke can copy Li Hao's house, it will be developed.
