Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1649
Li Shimin suddenly regained his spirits when he heard that, and put aside the idea of ​​building a railway in the palace just now. Originally, he had just had a flash of inspiration. Seeing that Su Cheng objected, and Wei Dafan also objected, he gave up.

He was full of interest in Su Cheng's sudden proposal, and quickly asked, "Build a railway in Chang'an City? Let's hear the details!"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Actually, it's just an idea. Chang'an City is so big that it takes a lot of effort to go from the east city to the west city, and from the north city to the south city, especially for ordinary people. Relying on foot strength is really embarrassing.”

"So, we can consider building a few small railways in Chang'an City. The speed does not need to be fast. The route is fixed, and a station is set up at a certain distance. The train stops when it arrives at the station, and people get on and off. It is a great convenience for the common people to go to any place in Chang’an by taking the train and only needing a few pennies.”

Li Shimin listened thoughtfully: "This idea is interesting."

Wei Zheng also nodded and said, "It can indeed bring great convenience to the common people!"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Actually, I just said it casually, and it is quite troublesome to implement it. Chang'an City is very expensive, and it is not easy to plan routes and build railways. Moreover, there are too many people in Chang'an City. You can’t stop right away, it’s easy to hurt people when crossing the streets and alleys, so whether it can be done or not has to be considered in the long run.”

Li Shimin and the others also fully understood Su Cheng's idea now. It is indeed a good idea to build a small railway in Chang'an City, and then use a small train to pull the carriages around Chang'an City.

But if you want to build one or even several railways in Chang'an City, it will be difficult. Chang'an City is very expensive.

And Su Cheng's worry is indeed a problem. The speed of the train is fast, and there are so many people in Chang'an City, it is easy to hurt people.

Li Shimin waved his hands and said with a smile, "I'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is to build the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang. Hurry up and make the test successful!"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Li Chongyi, Changsun Chong, Fang Yiai, Qin Huaidao, Li Zhen are all supervising the work everywhere, and they are all working hard!"

Hearing Su Cheng talking about them, Cheng Chumo and the others immediately straightened their chests, their faces full of excitement.

It's still Su Cheng's righteousness, don't forget to mention them in front of the emperor at this time!
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'm waiting for your good news! After the train is completed and opened to traffic, I must take the train to feel it."

If the emperor said to take the train now, they would have to persuade them anyway, after all, everyone is not sure whether the train is safe or not.

But if the railway is built, there should be no danger for the train, right?
Wei Zheng asked with concern: "Will you test the car again?"

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard this. They should continue to test the car in the future, right?
Su Cheng said with a smile: "The manufactured rails have to be transported to the front to lay the railway, and it is not easy to transport them with cattle and horses. Now that the train has been successfully tested, it is advisable to directly load the rails on the train and transport them to the front construction site. It's easy to test the train."

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly realized, yes, since the train has been successfully tested, how easy is it to transport the rails directly by train?
That is to say, the train will run every day in the future, which is equivalent to testing the train every day, so that we can see whether the train is safe or not.

Wei Zheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. If the train is always safe, then there is no need to dissuade His Majesty.

"Go back to the palace!" Li Shimin got on his horse and said loudly, this trip can be said to be a trip full of joy and return.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Su Cheng said respectfully.

Li Shimin was just about to pat the horse on his way, but suddenly stopped, turned around and asked: "Su Cheng, next time something like this happens, you must report it to me, do you hear me?"

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if there is a major matter, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin patted his horse and led the officials and guards away, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and the others did not stay, they also left together, they grinned, quite proud of themselves.

At the beginning, they trusted Su Cheng very much and thought that Su Cheng would definitely make the train. Now that Su Cheng has succeeded in making the train, and it is better than they expected, of course they are very happy.

The industry they invested in is very successful. Once the road is built, it will be a lot of money.

Li Shimin led his group of officials and left slowly. After running back and forth for a hundred miles, they were all so tired that they couldn't get up fast even if they wanted to.

Seeing that the emperor was gone, Cheng Chumo and the others suddenly opened up again, and they all surrounded him.

"Su Cheng, let's try the train again. Let's run around and compete." Cheng Chumo and the others watched eagerly. They also wanted to compete with the train and feel the speeding train up close.

Su Cheng stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "What are you trying, there are still things to do next."

Cheng Chumo and the others must have regained their spirits immediately, and quickly asked, "Is there anything else to do?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Of course there will be a meeting to summarize after the experiment."

Cheng Chumo and the others froze as soon as they heard it, and summing up in a meeting is the most boring thing.

"Can't we make another trip?" Yuchi Baolin asked expectantly.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Tomorrow, the rails will be transported by train. If you want to compete, you can come and compete every day."

Yuchi Baolin shook his head and said, "Didn't the train slow down when the rails were transported?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's just that the acceleration process will take longer, but the final speed will not be slow. That's all right, you should hurry up and do your work. The most important thing is to complete the railway construction as soon as possible."

After seeing the Mercedes-Benz train today, they all felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they wished that the railway would be built tomorrow.

"Don't worry, Su Cheng, we'll go oversee the work right now!" The eldest grandson nodded his head.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Improving efficiency belongs to improving efficiency, but the quality must also be guaranteed. We can't just try to be fast, but we must also ensure that there will be no problems with the railway built."

Cheng Chumo and the others all thumped their chests: "Don't worry, the quality will definitely be guaranteed!"

It can be said that the construction of the railway this time has attracted worldwide attention, and the emperor is also very concerned. They are still counting on this to make money and show their faces. How could it be messed up?

Cheng Chumo and the others got on their horses and galloped away, while Su Cheng ordered the craftsmen to carefully check the train to see if there were any problems, and then called everyone back to the workshop to start summing up experience.
