Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1643 Getting Ready
All the craftsmen were trembling with anxiety, but after hearing Su Cheng's words, they suddenly became very at ease.

That's right, the Duke is here!

Duke, what kind of holy family is that?
With the dukes around, even if there were any mistakes, they couldn't be blamed.

Moreover, the Duke also said that even if there were any mistakes or omissions, they would still be rewarded heavily. What kind of mind is this?

For a while, all the craftsmen felt that a scholar would die for his confidant, even though they were not scholars.

In this world, artisans have a low status, especially in the eyes of high officials and nobles, but Duke Rong, despite his high position and authority, attaches great importance to them.

In this world, no high-ranking official can value them as much as Rong Guogong.

A group of craftsmen got busy again, dragging all the carriages onto the rails and connecting them with each other.

Become!

The spectacle of a locomotive with twenty gigantic carriages behind it is truly heart-pounding.

What's even more exciting is that the test drive has just begun.

But Li Shimin and the others were a little surprised, because they found that the craftsmen were leading a locomotive to the rails with oxen.

What made them even more surprised was, why was the locomotive still upside down?
What is this for?
Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Yaojin yelled: "Su Cheng, are you stupid? Isn't there a locomotive in front? Why are you still dragging one up? Besides, why is this locomotive still backwards?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Of course I have to add another one at the back, otherwise, I can't turn around after running for dozens of miles. Why don't you drag these dozens of carriages back?"

Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is indeed the truth. These twenty carriages together with the locomotive are very heavy. After running for dozens of miles, there is no way to turn around. It is not easy to get back, so add an inverted locomotive at the back." , when the time comes to drive back directly in the reverse direction, this idea is really brilliant, Su Cheng, you are really thoughtful."

Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was to drag all the carriages back in the opposite direction. Su Cheng was really thoughtful about this point. Otherwise, a locomotive and twenty such large iron carriages would Even nine cows can't pull it back.

While talking, the craftsmen finally connected the locomotive behind to the carriage.

The assembly of the train is considered complete.

However, Li Shimin and they were not in a hurry to be happy this time. Who knew what Su Cheng would do next.

"Grandpa, the preparations have been completed." The craftsman said respectfully.

Su Cheng was also very happy to hear that, and said with a smile: "Okay, then drive according to the plan, pay attention to the speed, and don't drive too fast, I will follow on horseback, and when you exceed my speed, don't go any further." Speed ​​up, keep going fast, and after running fifty miles, start to slow down until you stop."

The artisans who drove and followed the car selected last night immediately agreed.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's get ready!"

The craftsmen boarded the car, Su Cheng turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please wait again. The station has just started to be built, and the place is simple. I hope Your Majesty will not mind."

Originally, Li Shimin planned to wait here, but after hearing Su Cheng's words, he realized that Su Cheng planned to ride a horse and chase the train to test the speed of the train.

Let him wait here now?how is this possible?

Li Shimin shook his head and said with a loud smile: "Why are you waiting here? I want to ride a horse and compare it with your train to see if your train is faster or my BMW is faster!"

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing: "You don't need to compare to know the result. If you run two or three hundred miles, your majesty's BMW will definitely lose. If you only run fifty miles, your majesty will definitely win."

Li Shimin's horse is one of the best BMWs in the world. It has strong explosive power in short distances, and because of the construction of the railway, both sides of the railway are also arranged very flat. It is no wonder that the train can run faster than Li Shimin's BMW in just [-] miles.

Although Su Cheng told the craftsman to keep going at a constant speed if he surpassed him, in fact he didn't intend to let the horse run wild, but to control the speed of the horse to test the speed of the train.

As far as he knew, the speed of this steam train would not be too high, so the speed of his test train was about one hundred miles per hour, as long as it could reach this speed.

Just now Li Shimin heard Su Cheng say that when the speed of the train exceeds the speed of Su Cheng's riding a horse, he will keep moving forward at a constant speed. He couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Now he suddenly remembered that Su Cheng said that the speed of the train can reach about [-] miles per hour.

That's right, it's not bad to be able to run two hundred miles an hour with so many carriages. If he can still surpass his BMW, it would be too outrageous.

That's a full twenty carriages, and they're all made of iron!

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Then I will control the speed of the horse. If the train can run at my speed, that would be great!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin turned his head and said in a loud voice: "Today's train test run is a rare event. If you are interested, you can ride the horse with me and see how fast the train can go!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold back for a long time, rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting all morning, so I want to compare with the train."

All the ministers also agreed one after another, what are they here for?Don't you just want to see if the locomotive can pull dozens of carriages, don't you just want to see how fast the train can run?

Can it be more intuitive than running a horse with a train?
After seeing Li Shimin get on the horse, Changsun Wu, Li Ji and others got on the horse directly.

A group of ministers got on their horses one after another, and then drove their horses to the emperor's back in a very tacit understanding according to the platoon during the court.

Li Shimin waved to Su Cheng and said with a smile, "Come on, Su Cheng comes to me and joins me."

To keep pace with the emperor, this honor is not insignificant.

However, all the ministers have nothing to say, because today is the day of the test drive, and Su Cheng can afford this honor.

Once the test drive is successful today, then Su Cheng's contribution will be greatly increased, and his influence on the court and the world will also be greatly increased.

Su Cheng was also polite, and directly drove his horse to Li Shimin's side, but he didn't really keep pace with Li Shimin, but was a horse behind Li Shimin.

The train was already rumbling and burning, and the movement was getting louder and louder.

At this moment, Su Cheng became inexplicably excited. Seeing the craftsman in the locomotive sticking his head out to ask for instructions, Su Cheng immediately waved his hand to signal that he could drive.
