"Is this month's science report out, hurry up and take a look."

"Come out, here."

One of the students of the country picked it up and looked at it, and then said, "Failed again?"

"This is the thirty-seventh failure of artificial rainfall."

"But the good thing about this Li Chong is that when they fail, they will directly say that they failed, instead of finding all kinds of reasons to shirk it."

"The only few times we succeeded, it was when it was almost raining."

"But the problem is...... Is it the result of the rain on God's own, or is it the result of artificial rain? It's hard to say."

[In view of the general environment,

"To be honest, I want to fly into the sky myself."

"Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?"

"Isn't this all the time I've experimented without any accidents? And...... Don't you want to fly into the sky and look down on the land of the Tang Dynasty under our feet?"

"I don't want to."

"You, you really don't have any fun at all."

"Though ...... The experiment of artificial rain was not very successful, but people can actually fly in the sky. That alone makes me have to be very respectful."

"You haven't seen a steam locomotive yet. The steam locomotive is also said to have been developed by him and his people."

"Or ...... Apply with the bachelor and check it out. I heard that the railway from Luoyang to Shaanzhou has been repaired. We will go from Chang'an to Shaanzhou, and it will only take a few days at most to bring a few extra horses."

Those who can study in Guozijian are generally not from a bad family.

Each person brought two or three horses as a backup, and it was estimated that it would take two or three days to arrive.

Of course!

If you rush like this, the road will definitely be harder.

In fact, steam locomotives have appeared a long time ago.

Merely......

In the case of ancient information and no good travel conditions, even if something really appears in a certain place, even if you hear about it, you may not have the opportunity to see it with your own eyes.

Look at even in the later generations, many people may never have been out of the province in their lifetime, let alone in ancient times.

Therefore, if you were born and raised in Chang'an, you may not have been to this Shaanzhou.

Unless......

You choose to travel on your own.

The two of them did what they thought of, after all, they had heard of this steam locomotive countless times, but the problem was that they had never been able to see the real thing.

Isn't that a pity?

This question was soon passed through the bachelor to the kokuko sacrificial wine.

The so-called national sacrifice wine is actually the principal.

To be honest, it's boring.

After all......

What's so nice about this steam locomotive?

What you have to do now, and the most important thing you have to do now, is to study well the scriptures and classics that will be tested in the imperial examination.

But......

Don't even say it!

Even the country sacrificed wine himself, to be honest, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Thereupon......

After thinking about it, I planned to go on an outing.

You can play and learn while on the road.

After the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation.

Of course!

It's also not mandatory.

It is based on the principle of voluntariness, and if you are willing to go, you will go.

And......

Some people's hometowns are in the east of Shaanzhou, maybe they have already seen them.

For this part of the students, they will continue to stay in Chang'an.

In the end, there were at least one or two hundred people who wanted to go.

This amount feels a bit too much.

Other than that......

What to do if something happens along the way.

To this end......

They also need to go back and get the consent of their parents.

After such an operation, I have to wait until the beginning of spring next year before we set off.

After arriving in Shaanzhou, it was already February or March of the following year.

It is also thanks to the emergence of this railway.

Shaanzhou has now become a very prosperous city.

It can be said that the comings and goings of this business trip are no less than those in other places.

Mainly, because of the previous Sanmenxia blockage, many materials from the east of Sanmenxia were difficult to be transported to Chang'an.

But now it's different!

Many materials in the south can be transported to Luoyang by water, first to Luoyang, then from Luoyang, and then by railway around Sanmenxia, from land to Shaanzhou, and finally from Shaanzhou, by ship, and then to Chang'an.

In this way, this section of the waterway of Sanmenxia, which was originally difficult to navigate, can be perfectly avoided by rail transportation.

I have to say something bad.

That's probably because there is still a problem of transshipment difficulties.

Because it is quite cumbersome to transfer this cargo from the waterway to the land, and then from the land to the waterway.

But......

This is better than the shipwreck in Sanmen before.

And it is still ten ships, can sink eight or nine, back then, when the Tang Dynasty was just founded, it had collected a lot of precious books, calligraphy and paintings from Jiangnan or where, and planned to transport them back to Chang'an by ship.

As a result, there was an accident on the road that hit the reef and wrecked, and in the end, many precious books, calligraphy and paintings were washed away by the river.

After seeing the steam locomotive, everyone had to sigh for such an invention.

It is said that from Shaanzhou to Luoyang, it is the slowest and will not exceed three hours.

Of course!

This high frequency of population flow will naturally bring certain pressure to Datang's population management.

Even......

Some thieves committed crimes in Shaanzhou, and after three hours, they ran to Luoyang, which is possible.

Also, should Datang prohibit the flow of the people?

If it is not banned, will it do any harm?

These are the problems that Datang must face next.

Thanks to this year's Shangyuan Festival, the railway was not opened during the festival.

If so......

Then the people of Shaanxi, as well as the people on both sides of the railway, don't they also get Luoyang to join in the fun?

When the time comes......

This Luoyang must be overcrowded.

At that time, whether this hostel and mansion will be enough or not, it is estimated that it will have to be said separately.

You can't let people sleep on the street.

However, there is also the possibility that people do not sleep at all, and play from day to night, and then from night to day.

In a word......

These are all questions that must be addressed.

Other than that......

With such a convenient railway line for transporting goods, it became much more convenient for the merchant to buy the grain and vegetables of the people along the way, and then pull them to Luoyang.

But this convenience is convenient, so how to ensure the interests of the people.

How can we make these businessmen not let them make too much money and be too ruthless?

And also!

If the average businessman suddenly becomes rich, it can only be said that it is not a good thing.

Although the advent of railways has provided a lot of convenience, it is inevitable that it will also bring some disadvantages.

In particular, how can wealth be concentrated in the hands of certain people?

However, one thing to say, on the whole, the benefits should outweigh the disadvantages.

After all, if the efficiency of the transportation of goods has improved, the lives of the people should be better.

The quality of life should also be able to be improved.
