Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1668 There is a lot to do
In the first room of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the sound of clanging irons can be heard endlessly.

Since the old man received the letter from Chang'an, he summoned many craftsmen to enter the mansion, and then there were clanging sounds in the mansion.

Wang Songyan finished reading the letter in his hand, but his brows were tightly frowned, and his face was full of puzzled expressions.

Because the contents of the letter were so ridiculous, if he hadn't been sure that the handwriting on the horse belonged to his son, he would have thrown the letter on the ground and scorned it severely.

In the past, his son was a little jumpy, but after being hit by Su Cheng in Chang'an in the past two years, he has become more and more stable.

Therefore, Wang Songyan hesitated for a while. If he believed the letter sent by his son, the content of the letter was unbelievable. Something went wrong.

The problem is that the old man is very concerned about the affairs of Chang'an and the steam car. After receiving Qingyun's letter, he immediately summoned craftsmen to study the drawings and build the steam car according to the drawings.

Now holding the letter from Qingyun, he didn't know how to tell the old man, because the content was really absurd.

Although it was very difficult, Wang Songyan finally took the letter and walked towards the old man's courtyard.

"Father, Qingyun has sent you a letter!" Wang Songyan said respectfully.

The old man who was reading in the shade raised his head, with an expectant look on his face, and said with a smile: "Oh, Qingyun has sent you a letter, read it quickly and listen to it."

Wang Songyan showed a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitantly said: "Father, Qingyun's letter is a bit outrageous, maybe he is exaggerating."

Not only was the old man not disappointed when he heard it, but he became even more energetic, and said with a smile: "The old man can't wait, read it quickly and listen to it."

After hearing this, Wang Songyan made up his mind and began to read the letter. The expression on his face was still complicated, but the old man listened very seriously.

The letter was quite long, and Wang Qingyun used a lot of very strong particles in his heart. Wang Songyan felt very awkward reading it, because he couldn't understand Wang Qingyun's shock and excitement at that time.

After finally finishing reading the letter, Wang Songyan hurriedly said: "Father, sometimes Qing Yun is a bit exaggerated and exaggerated. Father, you don't have to take it seriously. You will understand everything when Shengnan's letter comes back."

The old man straightened up, the smile on his face had faded away, and with a serious look on his face, he said in a deep voice: "Not to mention that Qingyun has become much more stable in the past two years, even in the past, it was impossible for Qingyun to deal with this kind of thing." Jump off, it's impossible to exaggerate."

Wang Songyan said in a deep voice: "Father, do you really believe it? A train carriage is as big as five or six carriage carriages, and twenty train carriages are all filled with rails. How heavy is that? The locomotive pulls such a heavy carriage , run faster than a man riding a horse? Dad, do you think it is possible? Unless there is a fairy cast a magic spell!"

"Yes, Su Cheng is talented and capable. Liquor, Su tea, glass, corn seeds, cotton seeds, banks, charts, binoculars, muskets, artillery, etc. are all miraculous and remarkable, but But there are traces to follow, and they are all within the scope of our understanding.”

"But this is completely beyond imagination, and it is simply incomprehensible. Therefore, I think it is impossible! Qingyun must be exaggerating!"

The old man got up and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "It's really hard to understand. The old man has experienced and heard a lot of strange talks in his life, but he was still shocked by Qingyun's letter and hasn't recovered for a long time."

"But, Su Cheng can fly, did you believe it before? Su Cheng can see the scene on the moon, did you believe it before? Su Cheng can see the dense microorganisms in the water, do you believe it?"

"There is a kind of car that can go by itself without pulling or pushing, do you believe it? However, almost all the people in Chang'an City have witnessed it with their own eyes. Since these are possible, why is the train thing impossible?"

"You can't trust others, can't you still trust your own son? Qing Yun didn't hear it, but witnessed the train's [-] carriages filled with rails, and personally rode a horse to follow the train. Do you think this is an exaggeration? ?”

Wang Songyan couldn't help being silent after hearing this. Although the content of this letter really made him feel unbelievable, he still didn't believe that his son would exaggerate on such an important matter.

"It's a pity that Sheng Nan didn't write a letter, otherwise we wouldn't have to doubt it. Why don't I give Sheng Nan a letter to ask?" Wang Songyan pondered.

The old man slowly shook his head and said: "Sheng Nan didn't send a letter, which just means that what Qingyun wrote in the letter is true, so we don't need to doubt it at all."

Wang Songyan was surprised and said: "Father, do you believe it now? Shouldn't we send someone to inquire again and confirm it?"

The old man nodded and said: "There is no need to doubt! This old man believes that what Qingyun said in the letter is true. Tomorrow you will gather everyone together, and this old man will personally announce the news. By the way, how far has the steam car manufacturing reached?"

Wang Songyan suppressed the surprise in his heart, and quickly said: "The parts of the steam car are almost built, but the rubber sealing ring is a little troublesome, and it is still in the test."

The old man said with emotion: "Although we found the rubber, without Su Cheng's secret recipe, we would not be able to figure out how to use the rubber even if we spent a few lifetimes thinking about it."

Although they all felt that since rubber was what Su Cheng wanted, it must be of great use, but they didn't know what it was.

Looking at the drawing paper attached to the letter, Wang Songyan pondered, "Father, there are still many differences between the train and the drawing sent by Qingyun."

The old man nodded slightly and said: "That's normal. That drawing is the original design drawing. Su Cheng must have made improvements after the first experiment. But generally speaking, it will definitely not change much. Such a drawing is already very Precious, let us walk in front of other famous families!"

Wang Songyan also couldn't help nodding his head and said: "If the train is as powerful as described in Qingyun's letter, then this blueprint is really too precious! But it is a pity that the emperor does not agree to privately build the railway, which is a troublesome matter. The current emperor is very promising and powerful!"

The old man smiled and said: "Why can the train pull the rails of [-] carriages? Why can it run so fast? In the final analysis, it is because of the steam engine, and the steam engine is the core! Even if you can't build a railway, as long as you master the technology of the steam engine, there is still a lot to do! "
