Sure enough, the next day, the talk of the streets was trains. According to the newspaper, some people are able to understand; But some people don't understand, especially illiterate, and can only hear from the people who listen to books. Originally, in order to increase the interest, the book exaggerated a lot, and as a result, it was false, and there were all kinds of theories.

"Have you heard? Now there is a kind of car that burns the fire, and as long as the fire is burned, the old car runs like it flies. ”

"Of course it's fast, there are hot wheels under the feet of the immortals, you don't see, there are so many hundreds of hot wheels, it's strange if you're not happy!"

"I've heard about it a long time ago, and I've seen it, oh mom, in a blink of an eye, with a whoosh, the long twenty or thirty zhang car passed in one fell swoop."

"My brother-in-law's brother-in-law works in the coal mine in Weinan, and the car is old, so he can pull a lot of things, and he can run back and forth three times a day without resting, and he doesn't eat forage."

"That is, people are trains, they only eat fire, they only eat coal"

Li Er saw it, his heart was overjoyed, and he asked Changsun Chong in person: "Is your train really good?" ”

The eldest grandson nodded and said, "It's okay, I just want to invite Your Majesty to have a look, when do you have time to guide?" ”

Li Er was overjoyed, touched his beard and said, "Okay, wait for the rest the day after tomorrow, I'll take someone to take a look, you can prepare." ”

Changsun Chong responded, and he had long expected that on this day, Changsun Chong had already prepared a carriage, welded with iron-framed chairs, covered with cushions, and a small table, which was also covered with a cover, which was very elegant.

After the eldest grandson rushed back, he went to explain again, and finally on the day of Li Erxiu, he was ready. The carriage is, of course, capped, with shelves for the house salute and large windows. The inside is also painted white, making it look bright, and there are plates of fruit and hot tea on the table.

Because it is a passenger car, it is 20 meters long and has about 60 seats, which is enough to sit.

Li Er was wearing civilian clothes today, and the bridge silently brought more than a dozen old courtiers, and the eldest grandson Wuji was naturally inside, and the eldest grandson Chong personally invited them to get on the bus, and Zhou He sat down in the seat behind Li Er. There are also some guards at both ends.

As soon as Cheng Yanjin came in, he saw the fresh strawberries on the table, and directly picked up a plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Everyone was surprised, but they didn't see it, and said, "Is there only fruit?" Let's plate braised pork. ”

The eldest grandson Chong was surprised. Does this man think this is a restaurant? Fortunately, Qin Qiong, who was behind, pushed it and said, "How can there be braised pork on the train, wait for my brother to invite you to eat enough in the evening." Walk. Hurry up and sit down. It's about to open. ”

Cheng Yanjin sat down at this time, and one person occupied three seats, hey, I really don't know what to say about this person, everyone looked at the decoration inside curiously, and asked this and that. The eldest grandson Chong explained them one by one.

With a long roar, the train started, and everyone looked out the window, and Cheng Yanjin even stuck his furry head out of the window. Woo yelled. But the good times didn't last long, the old general who had no shape got motion sickness and vomited, and this time his head had to leak outside.

Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly poured a glass of water, handed it over and said, "Uncle Cheng, are you okay?" ”

"What can happen, I had a stomach upset yesterday, vomiting and diarrhea." Cheng Yanjin pretended to be hard and said.

The eldest grandson twitched the corner of his mouth, fortunately, it was a lie, just spit it out, but don't pull it, although the toilet is there, but the facilities inside are not complete.

Everyone was very excited, touching here, looking there, unconsciously they had arrived in Weinan, this time it took an hour, and the bus was relatively light. Li Er took everyone out of the car and felt very good. Not only is it fast, but it's also stable. If it is a large number of people, it is very cost-effective.

"Your Majesty, if we have a train connecting the east, west, north and south of the Tang Dynasty, it will be possible to arrive in a few days, which is very convenient. In this way, there are more than a dozen such carriages, and there can be 600 people at a time, which is of great benefit to both military and civilian people. If the people want to leave a relative, they don't need to go for ten days and half a month, as long as one day or three or two days, and there are many people, and they are not afraid of robbery. ”

"It is precisely this principle, even if it is a war, if you transport troops, it is very fast, and there is no need for soldiers to go to the border."

"That's it, the morning is coming, it's really fast!" Everyone's beautiful words, one by one, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

At noon, naturally, the barbecue, wild vegetable soup, and other dry food were much more abundant than last time. These old fellows ate and drank to their heart's content, cleaned their teeth, soaked their urine, and got in the car to continue their home.

When he arrived in Chang'an, others went home, or went out for a small gathering, and the eldest grandson Chong slipped back to the palace with Li Erti.

"Chong'er, you're doing well, what reward do you want?" Li Er was happy in his heart, because he really didn't know what happened last time.

Seeing Li Er's embarrassment, the eldest grandson Chong said: "Where is my credit, this is all the credit of the craftsmen below, although I am the general leader, I don't do much." Your Majesty wants to reward, and the son-in-law goes back to write a note, and writes down the meritorious people below, and Your Majesty will reward the meritorious deeds. ”

"Well, that's fine." Li Er said with a smile, but he still rewarded Changsun Chong with a lot of treasures.

"So this train is feasible, where should the railway be built next?" Li Er asked, he couldn't wait for the train to be promoted tomorrow.

When the eldest grandson heard this, he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, everything still needs to be done carefully. Chang'an and Luoyang are not far away, but they are closely connected, so you want to build such a long-distance train track first, what do you think? ”

Li Er listened, nodded, and said, "That's how it should be, so be it, you go back and make an excerpt." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, my son-in-law will do my best." Changsun Chong replied with a smile, "It's just that this train has it, someone has to take care of the train track?" ”

"By the way, I looked at it today, the train is not far from the pipeline, it really should be guarded, if you get a guardrail, you need a lot of wood, if not, I'm worried that someone doesn't know, and walks around on the train track at will, in case it hits someone, wouldn't it cause a big disaster?" Li Er said, so there must be measures.

Hearing this, Changsun Chong shook his head and said: "The whole country has announced that it is forbidden to go to the train track, if there are still people who are not afraid of death, then there is no way, because of those disobedient people, such a good means of transportation can become an ornament." ”

"It's because I haven't prioritized it, and the article will be issued in a few days." Li Er's head bowed, "That train is so good." ”

Changsun Chong came back, according to his personal work performance, as well as recommendations, and wrote credit to everyone, the most ordinary road construction worker, Changsun Chong did not forget. After the real article Chen was presented, Lord Hua of the Ministry of Works, who participated in the invention of the train, and Lord Li, who was in charge of the survey, were promoted to two levels and made a viscount, which also belonged to the ranks of the nobles. There are also a few children of the poor family who have also been promoted to the rank of knight, and some of the people below have received more gold and silver last time, and even the most ordinary road builders have been rewarded with five taels of silver.

The money was allocated to Changsun Chong, and Changsun Chong did not keep all of it, and if anyone deducted his wages, he would be severely punished immediately. I really caught two moths, and actually deducted the reward of the road builders, and only three taels of five taels of silver were issued. The eldest grandson was angry, and as soon as his official position was pushed to the end, he could only leave in disgrace.

A gentleman loves money, takes it in a good way, and always thinks about what it is to deduct others.

Because of the first experience, the survey of the train line from Chang'an to Luoyang was handed over to Master Li. Master Li was even more attentive when he received the task, this railway of less than 100 miles can be upgraded by two levels, then this nearly 700 miles, it must not be upgraded by two levels. The key is that there is a more attractive thing is that the surveyor and the paving person will have an inscription on the side, which is an opportunity to leave a name through the ages.

Princess Changle loves to be lively, and when she saw the train in the newspaper, several princesses pouted and asked Princess Changle to find a way, and they also wanted to do it.

"Xianggong, can you ask my sisters to take the train? You don't know, I've been dizzy by them these days. Princess Changle handed over a cup of hot tea and greeted her.

The eldest grandson Chong saw that his wife was busy coming and going, it turned out that it was because of this matter, and said with a smile: "Okay, the weather is very good tomorrow, I will ask people to prepare, and you can bring it over tomorrow." Madame's instructions, and they must be followed. ”

"Really?" Princess Changle didn't expect it to go so well.

"My husband never tells lies, and I guarantee that you will have a lot of face in front of your sisters." Eldest Sun Chong said with a smile, "It's getting late, let's settle it." ”

The next day, Princess Changle's family came to more than a dozen princesses, large and small, and the eldest grandson rushed into the door, startled, and hurriedly slipped away. These most noble golden branches and jade leaves of the Tang Dynasty are more powerful than the other, and they have to get a lot of good things from him every time.

"Oh, brother-in-law, where are you going?" The most tricky Princess Gaoyang had sharp eyes, and when she saw the eldest grandson rushing away, she walked over quickly, dragging the eldest grandson Chong, and did not let her go.

The eldest grandson frowned, and hurriedly turned sideways, this widow is really a coward, and it is estimated that he has not won Princess Gaoyang until now, making this person act more and more perversely, and said: "I suddenly remembered that there is something else, I will take you there as a big pillar, and you can also take the train." ”

"Let's take a look, eldest brother-in-law, we are not welcome." Princess Gaoyang has to inch in.

Princess Changle came over and said, "If your brother-in-law doesn't welcome you, you can still promise me to take you to the train, and you won't let people prepare it yourself early this morning." Gao Yang's words are really conscienceless. ”

Princess Jinyang looks like a dough, most like the eldest grandson queen, and her popularity is good, so she hurriedly said: "Oh, time is not leaving, let's go to the train station quickly, the little sister can't wait." ”

"That's it, Gao Yang, your temper is in the Fang family, don't be arrogant to our sisters." Princess Nanping and Princess Gaoyang were at odds, so they choked.

When Princess Gaoyang saw what everyone said, she had no choice but to pout, hold back her anger, and save the anger of the people, after all, Princess Changle was present today, and she couldn't do too much. (To be continued......)
