The new dynasty and the new atmosphere are continuous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In October, the Wu clan in the world was exempted from military service, which was the great kindness of Comrade Lao Wu to the surname Wu.

On the 29th of the month, each state of the two capitals placed a district of the Dayun Temple, and each of them collected a copy of the "Great Cloud Sutra", so that the monks ascended to the throne to explain. Nine people, including Wei Huaiyi, Fa Ming, and Yun Xuan, who wrote the scriptures, were given purple robes and silver turtle bags. There are 1,000 monks in total. This is the second time (four times in total) that the Tang Dynasty has built temples in various states.

On the first day of November, the Chang'an-----Luoyang Railway was opened, and Emperor Zetian accepted Wei Xi's invitation, cut the ribbon in person, and got on the train to Chang'an.

It's a spectacle that hasn't been seen since the beginning of the world, the machine is dead, and you can run as long as you drink water and eat coal!

Because Wei Xi is here, the running locomotive is very close to the style of a modern locomotive, almost not much worse.

The people of Shendu surrounded the train station, and when the train roared and emitted white smoke, the people scattered in panic!

Oh! The train roared and started.

Carrying 500 passengers, the speed is 20 miles per hour (a little more than the speed of people walking fast), the two places are 600 miles apart, and Chang'an will be arrived in two days!

In ancient times, the normal marching speed was three miles, more than thirty miles a day, which was called the double road, and the infantry doubled the road and competed, which was about 100 miles, while the cavalry doubled the road and traveled more than 150 miles a day.

In other words, it takes about six days for the team to reach the other end!

When Wei Shiwei made a report, everyone praised the speed, and at the same time, these imperial elites were almost aware of a situation: "If it is used to transfer troops!" ”

No wonder Wei Xi said that this is the important weapon of the country, and it can only be given to the country!

Wu Zetian's card carriage, belongs to the imperial carriage, the decoration is luxurious, the carriage is draped in satin, the floor is carpeted, there is a throne in the middle, and the left and right are specially made large flat glass windows, and the scenery can be seen at a glance.

There are also private rooms for her special rest, special toilets, reception rooms, and study rooms, and the environment is comfortable!

It cost 300,000 yuan to decorate this carriage, and the special consultant is Shangguan Wan'er, who will arrange it according to the empress's preferences, and only Wei Xi can invite Shangguan Wan'er, and the empress is very satisfied!

At first she sat on the throne, and Wei Shiwei kept showing her the places where the train passed.

But when she came back later, she sat on the throne less, but summoned her son-in-law Wei Xi, nephew Wu Chengsi and son Li Dan to sit together to play mahjong or cards.

Shangguan Wan'er sat beside the empress with a smile and occasionally offered advice to her.

Wu Zetian will definitely win a big win, and occasionally Wei Xi will touch himself, and it is Wu Chengsi and Li Dan who lose so much that they take off their pants.

"Bump!" Wei Xi shouted, and when Wu Zetian put a whiteboard, Wei Xi took out a pair of whiteboards.

"It's mushy!" Wei Xi spread the mahjong and said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, you have set off the cannon!" ”

"Haha, self-touch!" Wei Xi shouted, stretching out his hand: "Ten yuan for the position, thank you for your patronage!" ”

Character can be seen in the play, Wu Zetian is a cold bystander, the most natural is Wei Xi, sometimes even bold and presumptuous, while Wu Chengsi and Li Dan are much more restrained.

But Wu Zetian tolerated Wei Xi, feeling that this was like the feeling of being a relative, a feeling of home that had not been seen for a long time.

Li Dan gave Wu Zetian the feeling that he was too cautious and trembling.

even made Wu Zetian very worried, if he really handed over this country to him, would this cowardly son be able to keep the country?

And Wu Chenghe?

He has no talent and no virtue, Wu Zetian knows it!

Before he pretended to be "Our Lady is coming, Yongchang Emperor" The holy stone cheered her on, Wu Zetian had never reused him!

Wu Chengsi deliberately flattered, and it was rare for her to be pleased.

Only the daughter and son-in-law Wei Xi and Princess Taiping, both have the ability and have nothing else to ask for, let go, Wu Zetian once saw a pair of ordinary mothers and daughters, the daughter hammered her mother's back, chattering about homely things, the scene is very warm, and Princess Taiping treats her like this, the only daughter in the world treats her like this!

This is one of the reasons why Wei Xi is always safe and sound, his political enemies continue to slander enough to make three tigers, he has a natural original sin---- is too good at fighting and holding military power for a long time, but Wu Zetian has never dealt with him.

After all, he didn't show his back, and he was very affectionate with the princess, and he disposed of him, and Wu Ze really became a loner!

……

The train gives all the Tang people a sense of novelty, the carriage is clean and tidy, in addition to the seats, sleepers, dining cars, boiling water rooms, toilets, has become a small ecological environment.

Because of Wu Zetian, the food on the train is very good, the staple food is Hu cake, porridge, dry rice, noodles, steamed buns, fried chicken, smoked duck meat, beef soup, yokan, etc., and then there are fresh melon dishes offered halfway, cooked by professional chefs, almost no different from the palace.

They didn't get off the train at night, if Wei Xi's high-ranking officials had sleepers to rest, the guards didn't have such good treatment, so they could only close their eyes on the hard seats.

The specifications of the train running route designed by Wei Xi are not low, the double line runs, there are different platforms in and out of the station, the whole process is closed, there is no crossing road, and the local people want to cross the opposite side of the train track, if they don't take the overpass, or they don't have a culvert, so the speed has been maintained, and there is no need to worry about safety accidents.

Wu Zetian traveled by royal car this time, accompanied by hundreds of noble courtiers, hundreds of service personnel, and 300 Praetorian Guards.

Blockades along the way, important passes are protected by troops.

They watched the scenery along the way, a railway is a scenic line, and the beauty is in the ordinary.

But at that time, the railroad was anything but ordinary!

Trains can drive a range of downstream industries:

The development of iron ore and coal mines, the progress of the foundry industry, and... Glass, a large amount of glass used in the train, is produced in the industry of Princess Taiping.

China is native to colored glass, but Wei Xi knows the green glass of the West, since he has the right, he must have sent spies to the West to spy on him, and he finally succeeded in it.

Then he did the same, and he also began to make green glass, and with constant experimentation, he made white glass.

The glass industry was a big business in the Tang Dynasty!

There are also wooden carriages, decorative materials, water supply along the way, coal, maintenance, food and other guarantees. A railway line has driven many people to make a fortune!

When the train arrived in Chang'an two days later, as it entered the station, it saw another train whizzing out on the opposite side, full of ecstatic passengers, their shouting could even be heard by the opposite car.

"They seem to be very happy!" Shangguan Wan'er said.

"Of course I'm happy, the train runs for free for three days!" Wei Xi explained.

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized that at the beginning, the train fare was still quite expensive.

Wei Xi's operation methods made people have to be convinced, only Wu Chengsi slandered him and said: "It is worthy of being born in selling medicine." But he forgot that his samurai family started by selling timber.

……

After Wu Zetian left the station and returned to the palace, Wei Shiwei asked her to resign for the railway, at first she chattered and wanted to write the Great Zhou Artery, and Wei Xi next to her rushed to say: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Artery is more majestic!" ”

Wu Zetian glanced at him deeply, as if he had seen through his psychology, and Wei Xi's ambition to deal with an army of half a million couldn't help but tremble.

After all, he held on, and his face was calm.

Wu Zetian wrote down the four big characters of "Imperial Artery" according to his words, which have been handed down at the main entrance of each railway station to this day.
