Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1630 Hope
Su Cheng didn't send Wang Shengnan home all the time, but turned back after sending him to the city gate.

In the Duke's Mansion, Princess Changle and Wu Jue are chatting.

Just now Princess Changle pulled Wang Shengnan and kept saying thank you words, all of which fell into Wu Jue's eyes, she immediately and keenly noticed something strange, obviously something must have happened when Duke Guo drove the steam car to see him, or in other words, something happened in the steam car. The effect must be greater than imagined.

So, after Su Cheng and Wang Shengnan left, Wu Jue asked immediately.

Princess Changle did not hide the truth from Wu Jue and the others, and directly told them what happened in the palace.

Wu Jue, Shen Xiao and the others listened attentively, their small mouths slightly opened, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Build two railways between Chang'an and Luoyang?Earn 100 million guan every year in the future?
Can a steam engine be installed on a ship?

Wu Jue licked his lips, his big eyes were very bright: "It's just that the railway from Luoyang to Chang'an can earn 100 million yuan a year. If the railway is built all the way to Jiangnan, how much money can it earn in that year? I'm afraid it's not tens of millions. right?"

Princess Changle smiled and said: "There are many people traveling from Chang'an to Luoyang, so they can earn 100 million guan a year. How much manpower and material resources will be spent and how much land will be collected to build all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, our government cannot do it. "

"The railway is very important to the imperial court. The imperial court must control the railway. The section of the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang was exchanged by Mr. Lang with the technology of the steam engine. In the future, apart from the imperial court, there will be no private railway construction."

"Railway? A road paved with iron, how much iron does it take to get from Chang'an to Luoyang?" Luo Xiangfeng was shocked, she felt that this was almost an impossible task.

Princess Changle smiled and nodded, "It's really not easy to build such a railway. It will take a long time and cost a lot of money, but once it is built, it will make a lot of money every year in the future. Generally speaking, it is worth it!"

Wu Jue beamed happily and said, "Of course it's worth it. Why do we keep so much money in our family? It's better to invest in the railway and let the money make money. It's too late for others to envy such an opportunity."

"Then we have to be busy. We have to decide the route first, and then go to buy land. Since we need to use so much iron, it is not cost-effective to buy pig iron directly. It is better to buy an iron mine, and then we have to buy a coal mine."

Su Cheng strode in. Hearing Wu Jue's discussion, he couldn't help laughing and said: "We don't have to worry about buying land. Lu Guogong has already taken it over. Zhao Guogong has many iron mines and expressed his willingness to provide iron. Let’s collect some more ourselves, it’s not a big problem, the coal mines are owned by the British public.”

Princess Changle asked in surprise, "When did they say that?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's just that when I left the palace, they caught up with me."

Wu Jue couldn't help but pouted after hearing this: "Don't they think that this business is a lot of money and want to buy shares? Although the construction of the railway does cost a lot, we can afford it, and it is even more than enough."

Su Cheng didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "There are more people, more power, more people involved, the railway can be repaired faster, and it can be operated better."

In Chang'an's manor, Wang Qingyun was pacing anxiously in the front hall.

Today he was in a daze. After thinking about it for so long after he came back, he still couldn't figure out why that weird car could go by itself without pulling or pushing.

What made him very speechless and worried was that his sister hadn't come back until now.

My sister should know that he will return to Chang'an in two days, why didn't she wait for him at home?

He even went to Sujiazhuang as a guest, and he hasn't come back yet!

If he saw Su Cheng driving that weird car through the streets in the city today, he would have already run to Su's village.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Wang Qingyun kept pacing.

"Young Master, Young Master, Miss is back! Miss is back!" Xiao Si ran over excitedly.

Wang Qingyun strode out of the front hall and saw his sister helping the maid to get off the carriage, but her expression seemed a little dazed.

On the way home, Wang Shengnan was indeed very restless. The design drawings in his hands were heavy. In her opinion, it was not a matter of precious or not. These represented Su Cheng's deep affection for her.

"Sister, why did you come back? Don't you know that I'm going back to Chang'an these two days? Why aren't you waiting for me at home?" Wang Qingyun asked repeatedly.

Wang Shengnan said calmly: "Come back when you come back. I didn't lock the door to prevent you from coming back, but it's only been half a year since I saw you. Do I have to go out of the city to meet you?"

"I didn't ask you to go out of the city to meet them. It's okay to wait at home to catch the wind!" Wang Qingyun muttered in a low voice. After all, they are brothers and sisters. Don't you think about it if you haven't seen each other for half a year?
"What are you going to Sujiazhuang for? Do you know the weird car made by Su Cheng? It's so strange, how can you walk by yourself without pushing or pulling?" Wang Qingyun asked suspiciously.

Wang Shengnan smiled and said, "I know, it's called a steam car. When Su Cheng assembled the steam car today, I was watching from the side."

Wang Qingyun's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "What? You were watching from the side when Su Cheng was assembling? Didn't it all fall into your eyes?"

Wang Shengnan nodded and said, "Yes, I saw everything."

Wang Qingyun quickly asked: "Why can the steam car run by itself without pulling or pushing?"

Wang Shengnan explained with a smile: "Didn't I tell you the name, just use steam to push forward!"

Wang Qingyun was still confused after hearing this: "How can steam push the car forward?"

Wang Shengnan explained: "Have you ever seen water boiled? Whoever boils it, the steam rises up and can even push the lid of the pot open. This is the principle used, do you understand?"

Wang Qingyun frowned and thought hard, should he understand now?But why he still can't understand now.

Of course he knew that the water was on the top of the pot, but what did it have to do with the car moving forward?

I can't figure it out!However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as your sister can understand it!
Wang Qingyun said happily: "So, sister, you have mastered the manufacturing method of steam cars?"

Wang Shengnan couldn't help but give his elder brother a blank look, and said speechlessly, "Do you think I can understand how to make a steam car just by looking at it?"

Wang Qingyun frowned when he heard this. It seems that he was too optimistic just now. The steam car is so amazing, how could it be possible to know how to assemble it just by watching it once?
If that's the case, how could Su Cheng let his sister see it so easily?
