Chicken?

Lin Zifan almost laughed out loud!

If it is said that after spending so much steel, so much manpower and material resources and various costs, the train that can only be transported can only transport the volume or weight of dozens of people at a time, it is indeed very chicken!

But the question is, will Lin Zifan do this kind of thing?

Don't even bother to take care of it, right?

Since he has done it, it must be a real train, a train, it is easy to transport thousands of people, and even if you squeeze it, and then 'open a hanging', it is not impossible to transport tens of thousands of people!

At least a train that can transport tens of thousands of people, 24 hours a day, at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, useless?

Lin Zifan continued: "Everyone has seen the benefits of asphalt roads, but asphalt roads are just ordinary official roads!"

"And the railway, on the other hand, is an existence that can upgrade the asphalt road again!"

"At present, the train you see, under normal circumstances, is only four or five hundred miles per hour...... But after that, the train will inevitably increase its speed again and again!"

"Moreover, you don't need a mount, you can cross the entire Datang in one day, and you don't need to rest at all!"

"Tell me, if there is a war on either side, we will go to the rescue. ”

"Directly let the reinforcements take the train, you can rush to the battlefield within a day, and you don't need to recuperate, you can start the battle directly~"

"Train...... Is it still a waste of a lot of steel, manpower, and material resources?"

Lin Zifan smiled and said, "Not only that!"

"In terms of business, the emergence of trains will also bring a steady stream of benefits to our Datang, as well as ...... Income!"

"That's right, the steel, manpower and material resources invested in the premise will cost a lot of money, and it may even empty the treasury that has become rich with great difficulty. ”

"But what about after that?"

"After the construction of the railway, the train speed is extremely fast, and we can send our Datang goods out and buy them to other countries!"

"Why are we so poor?"

"It's because their productivity is relatively low! The good furs of the mountain people have been bought by businessmen from other countries at low prices!"

"If so, can we send these goods directly to the prosperous cities abroad, are we afraid that we won't be able to sell them and sell them at a high price?"

"There are many wealthy people in foreign countries, and they are not afraid that no one will buy them! If you don't buy them, others will naturally buy them!"

"Wouldn't this improve the livelihood of our Datang people, so that the poor mountain people can also make more money?"

"At the same time, when the railway is built, we must ask the people of Datang to pay them...... Isn't it also possible to make them rich?"

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, after our railway is completed, it will not be free to ride!"

"If you want to get on the bus, you have to buy a ticket, and if you buy a ticket, you need silver!"

"It's okay for our people from the Tang Dynasty, most of them have mounts when they come, but those foreign merchants are weak and slow, and they come and go, what a waste of time?"

Lin Zifan smiled confidently......

"With such a convenient and easy means of transportation as the train, will they sit on it?

"Time is the most valuable existence! Not to mention don't forget, please guard, please 'logistics' or something, it will cost a lot of silver~!

"If you take our train, the time saved is enough for them to earn more money......

"Once the train is completed, the merit will be in the present and the benefit will be in the future!"

"From now on, whether it is the military or the economic aspect of Datang, it will quickly prompt and leave other countries far behind!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the train ...... Chicken ribs or not?"

Lin Zifan's long list of words directly stunned everyone.

No matter who it was, looking at Lin Zifan at the moment, his mind was full of confusion and shock......

Although they can't understand some of the concepts that Lin Zifan said for the time being, they are not stupid! After being explained in detail by Lin Zifan, they have already understood the benefits and strength of the train!

"Can you really transport at least tens of millions of people?" said Prime Minister Cao Cheng's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"There will be more, not less!"

Lin Zifan is full of confidence......

"The speed is the same, it will only be faster than four or five hundred miles per hour, not slower!"

(PS: One hour is equal to two hours, and one kilometer is equal to two miles, so a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour is an hour of more than 400 miles...... ）

"And both the load capacity and the speed will only continue to increase, and it will become more and more amazing!"

"If that's the case, I have nothing to say......"

Prime Minister Cao shook his head, still thinking it was a bit too 'sci-fi'. After all, the benefits are amazing!

If it is really as Lin Zifan said, once the railway is completed......

Even if Datang does not have the empress, the world's number one master, it is enough to stand on the top of the world! Not to mention anything else, just the terrifying ability to transport and support soldiers is already against the sky!

Even if Prime Minister Cao doesn't understand too many economic problems, she knows that this benefit alone is enough for them to invest!

"If we can really improve the economy, so that we can make money from foreigners, I also agree!"

Li Shangshu of the household department nodded again and again, and also agreed.

Unlike Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Prime Minister Cao Cheng sees the most military benefits. The household is still a book, but it cares more about the economy......

The Ministry of Households, in charge of the treasury, no one knows better than her how poor Datang was before!

Therefore, she almost risked offending Lin Zifan to oppose it, because she was afraid that she would spend too much money and make Datang poor again......

However, hearing Lin Zifan say this, she changed her mind instantly.

It's just because Li Shangshu has always remembered Lin Zifan's words......

Why is Datang so poor? That's because all Datang's things are bought by foreigners at low prices!

This is not the end, after buying it at a low price, it will be processed and bought back at a high price......

As soon as they come and go, foreigners are equivalent to earning back all the silver of Datang, how can Datang not be poor?

If the train can make the people of the Tang Dynasty rich, or even make money from foreigners, then she, Li Shangshu, is naturally the first to agree!

"What do you think of the others?"

The Empress looked around the crowd, trying to get their opinions from the others.

However, contrary to the empress's expectations, almost all of them nodded after thinking for a while, thinking that this matter was feasible!

Even if it was the old man and the young old man who were quite incompatible with Lin Zifan before......

After all, everyone is working hard for the rise of Datang, railways, trains, ...... The investment is really huge!

However, compared with the input, everyone obviously values the harvest more!
