Take the mall to Datang

Just after talking about the visit, the team began to line up, and the order was restored immediately. There was still a group of Jinwu Guards patrolling the open space of the square.

But there is someone setting up a painting booth next to it, which makes people even more curious. When I went over, I saw several young people holding this kind of black coal-like thing on a wooden board. Start graffiti painting. Here you can quickly draw people's heads. A painting costs only [-] cents. If you want to frame it, you can go to the booth next to it and spend some money to make it.

Looking at this row, there are also stalls selling various items. It is true that the stalls are not used. There is a table in front of these stalls, not on the ground. You can see that there are all kinds of things bought here, but where they are The stalls are really neat and tidy, not messy at all.

On the other side, there are shops selling various snacks. In addition to these, there is actually a station medical center, station storage station, and Passepartout freight point.

The most attractive thing is a relatively large shop, which specializes in selling special products and commemorative coins of Chang'an City. The specialty store is an industry invested by the Yuan family, but the ownership of the shops and stalls at the station belongs to the Ministry of Economic Development.

Soon a crowd of horse-drawn carriages came outside the gate of the station, but no matter who arrived at the door, the carriages were not allowed to enter, because there would be a special entrance for horse-drawn carriages, and people could be sent directly to the entrance very close to the station. The place.

Cheng Zhijie and other people came here today and almost clashed with the Jinwu Guard at the door, but fortunately, there were more rational people nearby to stop them, and the adaptability of the guides did not cause this group of people to conflict.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Cheng Zhijie is very angry. These generals have been very angry recently, because His Majesty seems to have the meaning of emphasizing civility over martial arts in the court. Changing the name of "Qin Wang Po Zhen Le" to "Qi De Le" can be vaguely felt.

Coupled with the pressing of the civil servants, there is no peace in the court.

Wen Neng prospers the country, military power stabilizes the country, and now Ding Guo Ping the world, in the eyes of the emperor of Tang Dynasty, attaches great importance to stability, unity and prosperity of the country, and a group of generals are not stupid.

But no matter how reluctant they are, the fact is that they all know in their hearts that there is such a battle to fight, and maybe they can enjoy the happiness in the future.

Writing from the carriage, a group of military officers were quickly shocked by the people here.

The crowd was dense, but no one was able to enter the building. They couldn't figure out what happened to the heavily guarded people at the door.

At the same time, after they all arrived, a luxurious convoy came behind, and Li Shimin walked out from it, surrounded by a large group of officials, but they didn't wear official uniforms today, all of them were casual clothes.

Just when they were curious, Yuan Shan came out from the station and brought people over to greet them.

"Yuanshan, this is the station you mentioned. The scale is quite spectacular." Li Shimin said.

Civil officials all know that Li Shimin doesn't like extravagance, and the construction of this station is not only comparable to a palace, but it is also comparable to the largest pavilion in Chang'an City. If you carefully calculate how much it will cost.

And all the money came from the Ministry of Economic Development, and most people were envious and jealous.

What makes the civil servants even more unbearable is that such a feat cannot be completed in a short period of time if they do it.

"Your Majesty, the construction scale of the station was built with passenger flow in mind. Once the station is successfully used, it will often receive a large number of passengers. Therefore, this scale seems to be large, but it is actually not a big deal." Yuan Shan said .

"Besides, railway stations of this scale can only appear in metropolises. The state capital railway stations passing by in the future will not have such a scale. I use large stations and small stations to divide them." Yuan Shan continued to explain.

"Since you're here, let's go in and have a look." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, please." Yuan Shan said.

He led a large group of people directly into the train station, which added up to hundreds of people. Basically, almost all the officials above the fifth rank in Chang'an came, plus some clan children, some people brought by the minister, this group of people There were 300 people in the group.

Seeing that someone had already entered, the surrounding people started to shout, but soon the Jinwu Guard patrol quickly stopped the scene.

"It's such a big space. No wonder a building of this scale was constructed so quickly. It turned out to be empty inside." Cheng Zhijie said from behind.

Yuchi Jingde didn't say anything, and Qin Qiong and others were looking around.

There are a lot of long benches in this train station that attract people's attention. Seeing what Li Shimin thought, Yuan Shan explained without waiting for him: "This is the train room, which is for those who are going to take the train." It is used for resting, this is the entrance channel, and you can go in and take the bus after passing the ticket check from here."

Soon everyone was brought to the platform, and Yuan Shan continued to introduce: "This is the platform, which is specially used for trains. This is the train. There are six carriages in total, and three of them are passenger carriages. The first car is the dining car, the remaining two cars are freight cars, one is installed behind the locomotive to carry coal, and the last car is used to transport luggage and goods."

As soon as Yuan Shan arrived, he heard the siren from the locomotive. This meant that the operator reminded Yuan Shan that the train could start at any time.

Chapter 614 is back

"Your Majesty, the next itinerary is to take the train directly to the Lantian station." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, I also want to see how valuable this thing that has invested so much financial and material resources can be." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty..." The ministers were still very worried and wanted to say something, but Li Shimin stopped them.

A group of people boarded the train and saw that the compartment was not spacious, but the seats in the two rows were arranged in an orderly manner.

But Li Shimin didn't care, what he wanted to see was to let this big guy come, and he was looking forward to it very much. There were also cushions on the seat for sitting for a long time without getting tired, and they were all filled with high-quality cotton wool.

Perhaps the fly in the ointment is that even so, there are advertisements of various shops printed on the seat covers.

Yuan Shan didn't care about this, he knew very well that from now on, all the operation of the railway station would be under the management of the Economic and Development Department, so how could he not talk about the cost, he is a businessman.

There are all kinds of advertisements in the seat cover shop, including cement for building materials shops, ready-made clothing advertisements for the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, and introductions for Chang'an City Inns and restaurants. It won't be too boring when you are on the go.

Seeing that everyone got on the train, Yuan Shan pulled down the whistle rope. After hearing the sound, the driver in the locomotive turned on the various braking equipment of the locomotive, and blew the whistle again, but this time it was in the huge chimney. There was billowing smoke, and after passing the semaphore instructions of the people on the ground, the train slowly started to move.

"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon's body." Ma He sat beside Li Shimin and carefully supported Li Shimin.

There was a strong momentum when the car moved, and everyone's hearts trembled at that time, because the huge Tie Gada really moved, and even thinking about their adaptability, they were surprised.

"It's okay." Seeing Yuan Shan's expression was calm, Li Shimin felt at ease.

The train had just stabilized while accelerating, Yuan Shan walked over from the seat next to him and said, "Eunuch Ma, please move, I want to enjoy the scenery along the way with Your Majesty."

Ma He had no choice but to look like Li Shimin, and soon Ma He made it to the side.

"Your Majesty, the speed of the train is faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage. Theoretically, it can reach Lantian County within a stick of incense, but the driver of this first test may not drive fast, and it will not exceed the time of a stick of incense at the latest. " Yuan Shan said.

When Yuan Shan was speaking, the speed of the train kept accelerating, and some people's palms were sweating when they saw the things that were quickly passed by outside the train window.

Especially seeing the things nearby flash by, which is faster than what you see when you are riding in a carriage.

Li Shimin was also very surprised at this time, seeing the things outside quickly skipping in front of his eyes gave him a real and surprising feeling.

"Why did the train suddenly slow down?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

"Return to Your Majesty, this car is slowing down now because the train is about to enter the station, and now we need to control the speed, otherwise it will be easy to pass by too fast." Yuan Shan explained.

"What, are you here so soon?" Li Shimin said.

"Yes, this is the advantage of the train." Yuan Shan said.

Soon the train stopped at the Lantian County Station. When everyone came out, the Lantian County Magistrate Guo Shouyi had already brought people to wait here. When he saw the emperor, a crowd of people waited to greet him respectfully.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to come to Lantian County from Chang'an so soon. It seems that this investment is very valuable." Li Shimin said proudly.

Yuan Shanxin said that this was all invested by the Ministry of Economic Development, how could this suddenly become the emperor's kindness, as expected, the emperor is shameless enough.

However, if you want to return to Chang'an from Lantian, you can't do it right away, because you need to turn the front of the car. Fortunately, you have prepared for it, and you only need to change the line to adjust the front of the car.

Now there is no design with two fronts, so we can only use stupid methods to increase iron such as to make it turn in circles.

When Guo Shouyi was reporting the situation in Lantian County, Yuanshan's people had already told them that they could prepare for the return journey. This time only took less than two sticks of incense, including cleaning the carriage, adding water and other maintenance, otherwise it would take a stick of incense You can continue driving without getting on.

Yuanshan didn't want any mistakes in the first test drive, after all, most of the powerful officials of the Tang court were in this car.
