An incomparably piercing strange cry suddenly sounded like gold cracking silver, and the ministers present were startled, and then they saw the iron monster's head puffing out white smoke.

Seeing this scene, the legs of the officials with slightly worse psychological quality are a little weak, and in the face of unknown things, people have the heart to retreat, not pure fear, but it is the most normal to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

But no official really dared to turn around and run, joking where the emperor was still standing, with a smile on his face, you dare to run, what's the matter, your life is more precious than the emperor's?

Yang Yiqing's brows furrowed a little deeper, the emperor was too calm, and his composure was really abnormal!

It seems that everything is under its control, and it shows a accustomed attitude towards all this.

But why? Yang Yiqing was sure that this train had never appeared before, so why would the emperor know?

It's hard to understand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I invited you to Tongzhou today to let you come to the opening ceremony of the train, and take you to feel the magic of this train, after all, you used to say that it was a waste for me to lay a large number of railroad tracks on the ground, and I did not refute you because I know that facts speak louder than words!"

The emperor's words were light-hearted, but the ministers still understood, what the emperor meant was that I didn't bother to refute you, and I only liked to use facts to slap you in the face.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how to verify that this train can carry tens of thousands of catties of goods and travel thousands of miles a day?"

Zhu Houwei glanced at Liang Chu who spoke with pity, this old man's knowledge is not small, but it's a pity that his thinking has been rigid, since I brought you all to Tongzhou, it is for verification, could it be that I came to see the play?

"General Zhou."

Zhou Ning stepped forward and saluted: "The last general!"

"Let the three thousand soldiers board the car!"

"The last general obeys!" After responding, Zhou Ning immediately commanded the three thousand soldiers of the Tiance Army who came to escort them to board the car.

The train had forty wagons, each two feet long, more than enough for three thousand people.

Yang Yiqing silently calculated, if all the three thousand soldiers add up to almost 500,000 catties, this is naturally far from 10,000 catties, but now is not the time to care about these.

After a few years in the cabinet, Yang Yiqing has learned to be obedient, and he knows that the master he serves is not a master who can be measured according to common sense, not only has countless whimsical ideas, but this means is also endless.

For the sake of your own face, it's better to see more and talk less......

"Ladies and gentlemen, please board the car with me." After Zhu Houwei saw that all the 3,000 soldiers had boarded the car and the thick iron doors were closed, he waved his hand and walked straight to the carriage specially reserved for him.

The three carriages are specially prepared for the emperor and the officials, but those who can stay in one carriage with the emperor must at least be the elder of the pavilion and the six departments and nine secretaries.

The first train born in the world, its main role is not to transport goods but to transport people, since it is to transport people, it will inevitably be divided into ordinary areas and VIP VIPs, but there is no need to get a sleeper this year, otherwise Zhu Houwei plans to add a sleeper car.

There are wooden chairs in the ordinary carriage, but there are certainly no three thousand seats, so most of the soldiers who board the car are standing, looking a little crowded, but there is no confusion at all, this is military discipline, if the army in the whole world is compared according to military discipline and combat effectiveness, the new army of the Ming Dynasty recognizes the second, and no army dares to recognize the first.

The VIP area naturally seems to be much more spacious, with cotton sofas, coffee tables, and a few cups of fragrant tea, and the fragrance of tea suddenly overflows the entire carriage.

People in this era are accustomed to sitting on hard wooden chairs, and at this time they suddenly have an indescribable sense of experience when they sit on the sofa.

"How's this sofa? Why don't I ask the sofa factory to send a few sets to all of you? ”

Jiang Mian smiled: "Sofa? It's a good name, but it's worth a lot of money. ”

Zhu Houwei was speechless, the meaning of Old Man Jiang's words seemed to be that he was still planning to collect cash?

How greedy is he in the eyes of officials......

However, as an emperor, he almost rolled up his sleeves to grab money, and the name of greed for money fell on him, and it didn't seem too wronged to fall on him.

Woowoo......

The sharp and dull roar suddenly sounded again, but it had already been experienced once, and the officials in the carriage were not startled this time, and the ability to read books and accept new things was still quite strong.

The steel behemoth spewed out white smoke that soared into the sky, and the wheels began to turn slowly with a clanging sound.

This clanging sound is caused by the inertia of the train itself, and the steam train is undoubtedly the most advanced means of transportation in the current era, but in Zhu Houwei's eyes, it is indeed rudimentary to the point of outrageousness.

The high-speed rail EMUs of later generations are all integrated, and the current steam train is dragged, that is, the locomotive produces kinetic energy to drag the first carriage, and when the kinetic energy comes up, the first vehicle drags the second carriage, and so on, there are connectors between the carriages and the carriages, after the kinetic energy comes up, the train runs, and the carriages naturally produce a clanging sound.

Feeling that the train began to run, and the scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, the shock in the eyes of the ministers could no longer be described in words.

The Iron Behemoth is actually moving, no! It's running! Run like a lightning speed!

Loaded with more than 3,000 people, not even the train itself weighs hundreds of thousands of pounds, how can it really run!

The previous doubts of the ministers had long since disappeared before the ironclad facts, and the shock in their hearts was completely revealed on their faces at this moment.

The people in the officialdom pay attention to nourishing qi, pay attention to joy and anger, can make them feel shocked, and there is no restraint of shock, which shows what kind of sensory impact this train brings them!

As for whether running like this in the belly of the monster will make the officials panic, that does not exist, and the ninety-five respects dare to sit, what do they have to worry about.

If a gentleman does not stand under the wall, it will also score points!

"After the morning court, I came to Tongzhou, and I walked for almost two hours on the way, how long do you think it will take to take this train back?"

Yang Yiqing looked out of the car with his eyebrows and sighed: "This car is galloping, fast as a galloping horse, according to the old minister, half an hour is enough."

Zhu Houwei laughed heartily, Tongzhou Industrial Park is only sixty miles to Beijing, and the speed of this train is almost sixty miles per hour, half an hour is just right!

"What do you think of this train, do you still think that I wasted laying this track on the ground?"

"Shame on the Ministers and Landless ......"

Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "In fact, this can't be blamed for Aiqing's lack of knowledge, to be honest, when I saw the water in the kettle being boiled when I was ten years old, I was able to open the lid of the kettle, and I had an extremely bold idea......"
