Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1642
It seems that Su Cheng really didn't take this seriously. It was difficult for Cheng Yaojin and the others to understand Su Cheng's state of mind, and it might be difficult for Su Cheng to understand their state of mind.

Li Ji said with a smile: "Hurry up and test the car, it's a mule or a horse coming out for a ride!"

Li Xiaogong also couldn't wait to say: "Yes, hurry up and test the train, we are anxiously waiting to see how the train runs and how fast it can run."

It's been a long morning, and they have been waiting very anxiously.

Su Cheng got off his horse and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start. First drive a locomotive onto the rails, then pull the carriages to the rails with oxen to connect them, and finally connect a locomotive."

A group of craftsmen were very cautious when they saw so many princes and county kings coming, not knowing what to do.

Now that they saw Su Cheng coming, they finally had a backbone and started to get busy immediately.

In fact, they had already figured out what to do last night in advance, so now they started to do it step by step.

Some craftsmen ignited the fire and filled the carbon, and drove the steam car onto the rails, and then other craftsmen brought a few cows to pull the carriages onto the rails one by one...

A group of craftsmen were working in full swing, Li Ji and Li Xiaogong all stood aside and watched with relish.

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground. Su Cheng, Li Ji and other generals immediately turned their heads to look. The smoke and dust in the distance seemed to be filled with a large group of cavalry galloping towards this side.

"What's the situation? Why did a cavalry come suddenly?" Su Cheng asked suspiciously.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It should be His Majesty who has come."

Su Cheng looked surprised: "Ah? Why is the emperor still here? No, how did the emperor know?"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We didn't go to the Great Court Meeting, His Majesty will definitely ask. Originally, His Majesty was very concerned about the construction of the railway. Now that you know that you are going to test the train, why don't you come and see it?"

Su Cheng said helplessly: "It's really just a small experiment, I didn't expect it to alarm His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Looking at it like this, His Majesty has directly canceled the Grand Court Meeting, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed over so soon!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled gloatingly: "You didn't tell His Majesty, you should think about how to explain it to Your Majesty, otherwise His Majesty will definitely blame you when he comes down later."

Can't it?It's really just a small experiment. Li Shimin is also a generation of Mingjun, so it's impossible to be so narrow-minded?
What?The emperor actually came?

The craftsmen who were working next to them couldn't help being shocked, and their legs began to tremble.

They never expected that today's experiment would even alarm His Majesty the Emperor!
He obviously didn't report it to the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to even cancel the court meeting after hearing this, and just ran here!

A group of craftsmen who were working in full swing suddenly slowed down. The emperor was coming soon, and they were upset and didn't know what to do.

Not only the emperor came, but also a group of ministers from the court. Su Cheng seriously suspected that Li Shimin directly led all the ministers from the court to come.

Li Shimin came on horseback, his eyes fell on the railroad track and the locomotive on the railroad track.

To be honest, this was the first time Li Shimin saw the railroad tracks. It turned out that the railroad was like this, and it was not much different from what he imagined.

However, he was still shocked by the two locomotives and twenty carriages.

Although I have seen a steam car before, this locomotive is much bigger than the steam car I saw before!
Before, he felt that the steam car was a giant, but now compared with the locomotive, he suddenly realized that the previous steam car was just like a child.

There are also twenty carriages, which are completely different from the carriages he imagined. This carriage is too big, and one carriage can hold up to the carriages of several carriages.

These twenty carriages can definitely hold up to a hundred carriages!

So imposing!Looking at these behemoths, Li Shimin was suddenly filled with anticipation.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Su Cheng and others greeted him respectfully.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Su Cheng, and he said angrily: "Su Cheng, don't you know that I am very concerned about the construction of the railway? Why didn't you report to me about such a big matter as the test run?"

Sure enough, when he asked, Su Cheng explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is just a small experiment in the middle, not the final version, so it is not worth making a big fuss about. The locomotive will finally be finalized and tested. Of course, I will report to Your Majesty. Please drive me." Come in person! Your Majesty, you are a little too impatient!"

Too impatient?The train has such a great significance, can he not be in a hurry?

However, you can't be too impatient in front of Su Cheng, the emperor, you still have to be careful about being reserved.

Li Shimin's expression was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Su Cheng, you can test the railway after building dozens of kilometers, why did you say that you wanted to test the railway and asked me for 200 million yuan to build the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang?"

Su Cheng spread his hands and explained calmly: "Your Majesty, I have to test the durability of the train, right? Even if it can run for dozens of miles, it doesn't mean it can run for eight hundred miles. If it runs What should I do if the locomotive is so heavy, and the dozens of carriages are heavier, and the horses and oxen can’t move, what should I do?”

There seems to be some truth in what he said, no, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, and asked in a deep voice: "Then there is no need to build a railway test of [-] miles, can it be enough to run a railway of [-] miles back and forth?"

Su Cheng saluted slightly, and said with a calm smile: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is truly a genius, with fantastic ideas, and my humble minister is stupid, so I didn't think of this. Now, after His Majesty's instruction, I suddenly realized it! What your majesty said is true, but why didn't your majesty think of it at the beginning?"

Li Shimin was speechless when he heard that, is it his fault for the feelings?
He doesn't know what the train looks like, how it works, what can he come up with?

Li Shimin also understood that with Su Cheng's eloquence, he would never be able to speak against Su Cheng.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Didn't you say you want to test the car? Hurry up, I want to see how fast the locomotive can run without pulling so many carriages!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, the assembly will be completed soon, and the test drive will start immediately."

After finishing speaking, Su Cheng drove his horse to the front of a group of craftsmen, and said with relief: "Everyone don't need to be nervous, just work step by step, don't worry about anything, even if something goes wrong, I will take care of it, and you don't have to worry about it." Be nervous, after the test run is over, I will definitely reward you."
