After everyone got into the car, Li Changfeng gave the order to start.

Click, click!

The train moved slowly, and the expressions of the people sitting inside became excited.

In the first carriage, because Emperor Qianwu and Li Changfeng were present, everyone still maintained restraint, and the merchants and representatives of all walks of life in the back carriage let out bursts of exclamations.

"It's moving! It's really moving! ”

"There are hundreds of people on the train, and with such a large weight, the train can even be pulled!"

"What hundreds of people, plus His Majesty's guards, I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand, it's unbelievable!"

"It's much more comfortable than riding in a carriage, it's not bumpy at all, and you can even drink tea in it!"

"If the entire Daqian lays such a railway, then it will be very convenient to go far in the future!"

"If this is not the case, it is even more convenient to pull goods, and you don't have to worry about damage on the road and robbers along the way!"

"yes, you don't need so many people to watch the goods, it's much stronger than a carriage!"

“……”

It's getting faster and faster as time goes on.

Emperor Qianwu looked through the window at the scenery that was passing by quickly, and sighed: "The speed is so fast, it has surpassed the ordinary horse." ”

Li Changfeng smiled: "This is nothing, it is far from the design speed." ”

Generally speaking, a horse runs at a speed of 20 km/h.

This speed is far from the design speed of the train.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were stunned.

Emperor Qianwu retracted his gaze and asked, "A hundred miles, how long does it take to arrive." ”

Li Changfeng smiled: "Half an hour." ”

The steam locomotive was designed for a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and it was practically impossible to run at top speed, excluding acceleration and deceleration time, which averaged 50 kilometers per hour.

An hour is equal to two hours.

One hundred miles is equal to fifty kilometers.

Isn't that half an hour?

This speed, in Li Changfeng's opinion, is too slow.

But for the people of this world, it's simply incredible.

The ministers could no longer suppress the horror in their hearts, and they didn't care about the presence of Emperor Qianwu, so they let out bursts of exclamations.

"Half an hour and a hundred miles, how is this possible!"

"If you calculate it this way, wouldn't it be casual to travel thousands of miles a day? It's impossible! ”

"There can't be such a speed!"

"Your Highness, you must be joking, aren't you?"

“……”

Even Emperor Qianwu felt incredulous, and asked solemnly: "There is no joke in front of you, is the speed you said true?" ”

Li Changfeng smiled lightly: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can time it." ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded, and immediately ordered: "Burn incense, timer!" ”

Soon, a stick of incense burned.

Li Changfeng slapped his hands twice, and a group of service personnel walked out one after another, carrying hot tea and seasonal melons and fruits to Emperor Qianwu and the ministers.

"Half an hour is not long or short, everyone relaxes and chats while eating."

……

A stick of incense had not yet been burned, and the train began to slow down slowly with the sound of "呑" sounding to relieve pressure.

The entire carriage shook, and Emperor Qianwu was shocked: "Arrived at the station?" ”

Li Changfeng nodded: "That's right." ”

Then he got up and said to the ministers: "It's about to arrive at the station, you can get off the train and see if you have reached the terminal." ”

Soon, the train came to a complete stop.

Emperor Qianwu and his ministers got out of the car.

When they entered the newly built station and saw the local officials who greeted them, everyone was shocked.

"The incense hasn't burned yet, it's not even half an hour, oh my God!"

"Really, it's true, it's incredible!"

"This speed is terrifying!"

“……”

Park Kyung-tae mingled among the ministers, and the whole person trembled because he was too shocked.

Daqian, there is such a magical thing!

He subconsciously thought that if the railroad tracks were laid to Goryeo, wouldn't it be a day and night to come to Daqian?

In addition to the civil and military officials, the accompanying businessmen and representatives from all walks of life also looked excited and exclaimed again and again on the platform.

Half an hour to travel a hundred miles, this is something they never dreamed of before, and many businessmen were shocked, but also discovered the huge business opportunities contained in it.

After staying at the terminal for a while, Emperor Qianwu led the crowd to get on the train.

After a long time after the train started, Emperor Qianwu regained his composure, looked around at the ministers and slowly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now you understand why I tried my best to promote the construction of the railway in the first place, right?"

When Li Changfeng proposed this project, everyone opposed it, and he insisted on going his own way and endured a lot of pressure, and some people even scolded him in private.

Now I can finally raise my eyebrows.

The ministers all bowed their heads in shame.

Feng Quji stood up, bowed to Emperor Qianwu, and bowed his hand to the ministers.

"Your Majesty, colleagues!"

When everyone's eyes were on him, Feng Quji spoke solemnly.

At first, the old minister was actually against this matter, but later His Royal Highness personally came to the door to persuade the old minister. Now that the old man is the vice minister of the Ministry of Railways, he will introduce the advantages of the train to you, and see if what he said is reasonable. ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to continue, and naturally no one in the group dared to object.

Feng Qujian raised his first finger.

"First of all, the train is smooth and comfortable, almost indistinguishable from the ground. In addition to the seats you have seen, there will also be sleeping cars on which you can sleep for long journeys, and there will even be a dining car for food. ”

After a pause, Feng Qujian raised his second finger.

"Second, the train runs extremely fast, it is very suitable for pulling goods, and it is not afraid of robbers, and only one or two people are needed to press the goods, or even need, which will promote the development of the Daqian trade."

Then put up a third finger.

"Third, since you can transport people and goods, you can naturally also transport troops, horses, grain and grass, and the far away decree of Emperor Tiangao will become history! The above three points have a great impact on my cadres, you must already know it! ”

After speaking, Feng Qujian bowed deeply to Emperor Qianwu, and there was a little guilt on his face.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, where could the old minister see so far at the beginning, and he was also against it in his heart, and now he thinks about it, and he is deeply ashamed of his original eyes!"

Emperor Qianwu smiled faintly: "The old minister has already spoken. ”

Feng Qu smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at Li Changfeng, and also bowed deeply, with admiration, disbelief, reverence, and even a trace of imperceptible fanaticism in his expression.

"Your Highness......"

Feng Qujian thought for a while, didn't know how to express his complicated feelings, and finally popped out a sentence that the old general Ye Qingcang had commented on Li Changfeng before.

"Your Highness, it's really a blessing for me!"

The ministers also echoed for a while.

"Your Highness is really a blessing to me!"

I'll change a chapter first, I'll write it later, I haven't revised it yet, I'll go out temporarily, and I'll change it later
