Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1640 Excited

Cheng Chu went back to the mansion excitedly, and started yelling loudly before entering the hall.

"Father, dad, I'm back!" Cheng Chumo shouted.

Cheng Yaojin said angrily, "You son of a bitch, you'll be right back when you come back, why are you yelling?"

After hearing this, Cheng Chumo couldn't help laughing, his face was full of complacency.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel moved when he saw it, and asked with staring eyes: "How is the railway repair today? Did something happen?"

Cheng Chumo laughed and said, "The railway, it's just like that."

Cheng Yaojin snorted: "If you fart, let it go quickly, don't wait until I beat you with a stick!"

It's almost enough to show off, if you continue to show off, you will really be beaten, Cheng Chumo hurriedly said: "Father, don't you know? Su Cheng is going to test the train on the railway tomorrow!"

When Cheng Yaojin heard it, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "What? Su Cheng is going to test the train tomorrow? Hasn't the railway been repaired yet?"

Cheng Chumo explained: "Two locomotives and twenty carriages have been built, so Su Cheng wants the locomotive to pull the carriages and run for dozens of miles to see how fast it can go and see if there are any problems. Improve."

Cheng Yaojin became excited when he heard it: "Really? Why didn't Su Cheng send anyone to invite the old man for such a big matter?"

Cheng Chu smiled silently: "You? Su Cheng didn't plan to invite anyone at all. If I didn't hear people from the construction site talking about it by chance, I wouldn't know."

Cheng Yaojin asked suspiciously: "Why is this? Is Su Cheng still not confident that he will succeed?"

Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "Looking at Su Cheng's indifferent expression, it doesn't seem like he has no confidence. He just thinks it's not a big deal. He will formally invite everyone to watch the ceremony after the railway is completed and opened to traffic."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Chumo asked with a smile: "Father, are you going to see it tomorrow?"

Cheng Yaojin excitedly said: "Nonsense, of course the old man wants to see it, but the old man wants to see how the train pulls dozens of carriages and gallops!"

Cheng Chumo scratched his head and said, "By the way, dad, isn't there a big court meeting tomorrow? You still have to go to the big court meeting!"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hands and said, "Who cares about the court meeting or not, the court meeting is not as important as watching the train!"

Zhao Guogong's mansion, Changsun Chong came to the study excitedly after returning to the mansion, excitedly said: "Father, it's done! It's done!"

Changsun Wuji put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked in doubt: "It's done? What's done?"

Chang Sun Chong excitedly said: "Trains! Su Cheng has already manufactured two trains and twenty carriages, but he is going to test them tomorrow!"

Changsun Wuji wondered: "Isn't the railway only built for a hundred miles? Why are you ready for a test run?"

Chang Sun Chong explained: "Su Cheng said that he just put the train on the railway and ran it for dozens of miles to see how fast the train can run and where there is room for improvement."

Changsun Wuji was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, to test whether the train can move dozens of carriages, to test whether the train can run so fast, there is no need to To build all the railways from Chang'an to Luoyang, you only need to run a few tens of miles to see it."

Changsun Chong nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth. You only need to run for dozens of miles to see whether Su Cheng is bragging!"

Changsun Wuji got up and smiled and said, "If you think about it this way, Su Cheng lied to His Majesty at the beginning, asking His Majesty to spend 200 million yuan to build the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then His Majesty felt sorry for the 200 million yuan and did not agree."

"If Su Cheng had said that the test could be done by building only a few dozen miles of railways, then His Majesty would have gritted his teeth and agreed."

Changsun Chong couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Doesn't that mean that Su Cheng lied to His Majesty in order to build this railway? Father, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Changsun Wuji asked with a half-smile, "The crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Chang Sun Chong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Changsun Wuji asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Then what do you think, why don't you take off your crown in court and scold His Majesty?"

That, of course, is a crime of disrespect!Chang Sun Chong almost blurted out, but he was not stupid, and then he understood what his father meant.

His Majesty will never pursue Su Cheng's crime of deceiving the king.

Chang Sun Chong quickly asked: "Father, are you going to see it tomorrow?"

Changsun Wuji put down the brush in his hand, and said with a smile: "Of course I'm going, not to mention that I'm also very curious about this train, our family has invested so much in real money."

"Although tomorrow is the court meeting, there is nothing to do in the court recently. Why don't you take a day off and go and see how Su Cheng's test car is going?"

Hejian County King's Mansion, Li Xiaogong couldn't help being overjoyed after hearing his son's report, he laughed and said: "I didn't see Su Cheng's steam car running that day, this time I have to take a good look at it, how can the steam car not be pulled or pushed?" You can run by yourself, you can even pull dozens of carriages, and you can run faster than a horse, is there really such a miraculous car in this world?"

Li Chongyi was stunned when he heard this: "Father, don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, why did you go to Su Cheng early in the morning to ask for shares?"

Li Xiaogong spat out a mouthful of tea foam with a bah, and said with a smile: "Nonsense, your father and I are not stupid, it must not be easy for Su Cheng to make such a big fuss, I believe Su Cheng can't be wrong!"

Li Chongyi was speechless after hearing this, and asked, "Father, are you going or not?"

Li Xiaogong said loudly: "Nonsense, your father, of course I'm going! The Great Court Meeting, it doesn't matter whether you go or not, anyway, if you go, you'll just take a nap!"

It was only at the end that Li Xiaogong realized that he seemed to be talking bald, and he actually told the truth. At this moment, Li Xiaogong also had a trace of embarrassment on his face. As an old man, he felt a little embarrassed in front of his son.

However, there was nothing unusual on Li Chongyi's face, it was because he had a strong desire to survive, but he was not surprised at all by this.

Although both the emperor and the honorable ministers in the court are very concerned about the construction of the railway, because Su Cheng suddenly decided to test the train, and the test run will be tomorrow, neither the emperor nor the honorable ministers in the court know .

Only Cheng Chumo, Li Chongyi and others, who had been idle and bored and followed the supervisor, brought the news back to their old man.

It was already late when they went back, so this matter did not spread in Chang'an City.

Otherwise, this matter will spread quickly throughout Chang'an City, and it will definitely cause a huge commotion in Chang'an City. Tomorrow, thousands of people will be empty-handed. I don't know how many people will go out of the city to see the grand occasion of the train running.
