Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1846 Arrive as promised
The steamboat rumbled away from the Bianzhou wharf, emitting thick black smoke, which became a unique scenery on the wharf.

Although the steamboat stayed on the pier for two days, it was not new, but when the steamboat made a rumbling sound and emitted thick black smoke, it still attracted a lot of attention.

The steamboat gradually accelerated, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The boats beside it were all dumbfounded. This boat is obviously carrying such a heavy load, but it can still run so fast?
Everyone is a boat, why does your boat run so fast?

Is it because of the black smoke?

Cheng Chumo and the others walked up and down the boat, feeling very novel.

The load is heavier and the speed is faster. However, the steamship is far from the shock that the train brought to everyone when it was in the world.

After all, ships can go without pulling or pushing, but the emergence of trains is subversive.

Even so, everyone recognized the value of the steamship.

Steamships were faster and heavier, a huge improvement in transportation.

After all, the train still needs to build a railway, but the Grand Canal has already been dug.

The smoky steamboat continued to accelerate and overtake on the water surface. Cheng Chumo and the others looked around and saw the overtaken ships, and they couldn't help grinning happily.

However, Su Cheng looked at the scenery along the road and the black smoke rising from the boat, but couldn't help sighing deeply.

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing? Is there something wrong with the steamboat?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously.

Su Cheng shook his head slightly, a little lost in interest: "Sometimes I really don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to make a steam engine."

Cheng Chumo and the others looked surprised when they heard this, wondering if it would be a good idea to make a steam engine?

That's a steam engine!
It shocked the entire Chang'an, shocked the entire imperial court, and won countless words of praise, what is there to doubt?

"Of course it's a good thing, does it need to be said?" Yuchi Baolin said with certainty.

Li Chongyi asked curiously: "What do you think? Why do you think it is not a good thing?"

Li Zhen also looked puzzled: "Yes, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Even if they can't figure out what's wrong with the steam engine.

Su Cheng said in a complicated way: "Look at the thick smoke coming out, polluting the environment."

polluted environment?

Cheng Chumo and the others heard Su Cheng mention this more than once, but they couldn't figure out what it meant to pollute the environment.

"Why don't you just smoke, what kind of pollution is this? Who doesn't cook with fire?" Yuchi Baolin looked indifferent.

Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "You just eat radish salty and don't worry about it."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Forget it, you don't understand after talking about it. Bring me a chair, I want to go fishing."

Soon Su Cheng got rid of the complicated state of mind. Pollution is an unavoidable pain in industrial development. It is nothing more than that.

Now when it comes to polluting the environment, if it weren't for his high reputation, others would think he is crazy.

Only when later generations realize the environmental problems will they realize the seriousness of the problem and change their views.

The steamboat was going upstream at a very fast speed, not slower than Cheng Chumo and the others rode their horses all the way back then. The most important thing was comfort, which was even more comfortable than riding in a carriage.

You can walk around freely, enjoy the scenery along the coast, even go fishing, play chess, and play ball, which is simply not too pleasant.

Before I knew it, the boat had already arrived in Luoyang.

When they got off the boat, Cheng Chumo and the others still felt a little bit reluctant, and they might not be so comfortable after returning to Chang'an.

"Be careful, everything else is fine. This table must not bump into each other. There are also balls and cue sticks. None of them can fall." Cheng Chumo ordered loudly as he disembarked.

Yuchi Baolin yelled: "When we return to Chang'an, we must quickly find a place to set up all the billiards, so that we can have fun together!"

"I'm going to take the train soon. To be honest, I really miss it since I haven't taken the train for so long."

As soon as this was mentioned, Cheng Chumo and the others felt resentment in their hearts again. Back then, Su Cheng didn't let them take the train, forcing them to ride horses.

"Oh, I've arrived in Luoyang so soon, don't say, I really miss leaving Chang'an like this." Wang Shengnan looked in the direction of Chang'an with a good expression on his face.

The relationship between her and Su Cheng was unclear before, but this time when she returned to Chang'an, it was different. The relationship between her and Su Cheng had been confirmed, and her identity had undergone a substantial change.

A few carriages, more than a dozen horses, and people walking on foot. The size of this team is not too big, and it is not conspicuous on the road. Who would have thought that there would be a prince of the dynasty and a family in this small team? Miss, how many grandpas are there?

On the cement road more than ten miles away from Luoyang, more than 20 horse-drawn carriages were escorted by three hundred cavalry.

Although several of the carriages looked a little old, they could still be seen to be very luxurious.

The accompanying iron cavalry is wearing armor and holding a fierce spirit. At first glance, they are elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield.

This is Xue Rengui who returned to Chang'an from Liaodong.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui was only Su Cheng's general, and he stayed in Liaodong for several years. As the governor of the Anton Protectorate, he held a heavy army. The greenness has faded away, and he has truly grown into a feudal official, showing the demeanor of a famous general.

"Is that Chang'an City?"

There was a childish exclamation from the carriage, and the child couldn't help being shocked when he suddenly saw the majestic city appearing in the distance through the window.

Xue Rengui pulled the reins, turned around and said with a smile: "That's not Chang'an City, that's Luoyang City. Chang'an and Luoyang are the two largest cities in the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the whole world, I'm afraid they are also the two largest cities."

"Are we going to play in Luoyang City?"

"Didn't you keep clamoring to see Daddy all the way? Let's go to Chang'an first, and bring you to Luoyang later." Jin Shengman comforted the child, holding the child's hand.

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "We won't go to Luoyang City, but we will go to Luoyang Railway Station, and we will make trains."

"By train? What's a train?"

"Well, a train is a train. I heard that it can pull thousands of people at a time without pulling or pushing, and it can run faster than a horse." Xue Rengui explained.

"Uncle, how could there be a car that can run faster than a horse?" The child looked at Xue Rengui innocently, as if you were so stupid.

Being looked at by the child like this, Xue Rengui scratched his head and felt helpless. To be honest, he didn't understand why the train would run faster than the horse. He had never seen it with his own eyes, but only read it from a letter, so he didn't know what to do. Explanation.
