Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1850 Plan
Wang Shengnan and Jin Shengman sat together and talked in a low voice, the scene was very harmonious.

Su Cheng was still sitting on the sofa by the window in his arms, the little guy jumped up and down excitedly, screaming.

The train finally pulled out of the station, and then began to pick up speed.

The train ran faster and faster, the scenery outside the window kept receding, and the little guy collapsed and jumped excitedly.

"How about taking the train?" Su Cheng was also very happy.

Su Changan nodded repeatedly and said, "It's fun, it's so fun, I will take the train again in the future."

Jin Shengman looked at the receding trees outside the window, silently estimating the speed.

"Shouldn't the speed be slower than a horse now?" Jin Shengman asked in surprise.

Wang Shengnan nodded with a smile and said: "Well, the speed that the train can reach is [-] miles per hour. It is difficult for ordinary horses to reach this speed. More importantly, the train can maintain this speed for a long time."

"Although a good horse can exceed this speed, it can't last long and has to rest for a long time. This is the most powerful part of the train."

"Not only the speed, but also the carrying capacity is much stronger than that of war horses and carriages. Because of this, the train caused a sensation as soon as it appeared, which simply subverted the world's perception."

The train was speeding, and the scenery outside the window was receding. Sitting on the train, Jin Shengman truly realized the extraordinaryness of the train.

She was very excited, more excited than ever.

All along, what worries her the most is that Silla is too far away from Chang'an, and since she will inherit the throne in the future, she is doomed to be unable to stay away from Silla for a long time.

But the appearance of the train gave her another hope. If the train reaches Xinluo, it will not be difficult for her or her children to come to Chang'an in the future.

Thousands of mountains and rivers are no longer obstacles.

Even Su Cheng might take the train to Silla to see their mother and child.

Jin Shengman leaned forward and asked with concern: "When will the railway be built to Liaodong? Can we also have trains in Silla?"

Su Cheng could understand Jin Shengman's anticipation, but he had to pour cold water on her.

The railway is very important to the Tang Dynasty, both the emperor and the ministers in the court attach great importance to it, but is Liaodong important to the court?
Of course, it is also very important, but it is not that important, and Liaodong is remote, and there are not many exchanges with other places, so the demand for railways is not so high.

Therefore, Liaodong will definitely fall behind in the priority of building railways.

Su Cheng pondered: "The railway will definitely be built to Liaodong. There is no doubt about it, because His Majesty and all the officials in the court have a consensus that all places must be connected by railway."

After hearing this, Jin Shengman's face immediately showed joy: "That's really great!"

Su Cheng sighed softly: "Don't be too happy, the construction of the railway is a big project. The two railways that the imperial court has confirmed are centered on Chang'an, one runs from east to west, and the other runs from north to south. Part of the line has been confirmed. Once we get down, the railway from Chang’an to the south must be built first, and the north can only go to Zhuojun for the time being, so we don’t know when the railway will be built to Liaodong.”

After hearing this, Jin Shengman said in her heart that she was not disappointed, it would be a lie, and she also understood that from the perspective of the monarch and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, there was nothing wrong with this decision.

She also understands that this result is the will of the whole country, and even Su Cheng can't change it, and he can't let the court build a railway to Silla now.

Not to mention Su Cheng, even the emperor couldn't do it.

Disappointment is disappointment, but disappointment is not despair, because there is still hope. After all, the imperial court still wants to build a railway to Liaodong, because this will deepen the connection between Liaodong and the Central Plains, which will help Liaodong return to its heart.

Jin Shengman said softly: "In any case, there will be a day when the railway will lead to Liaodong, won't it?"

Su Cheng nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course, and the speed of the train will continue to increase. One day, the train will be able to travel thousands of miles a day."

Travel thousands of miles a day?

Jin Shengman opened his small mouth slightly with a look of shock.

What is the concept of traveling thousands of miles a day?
Doesn't that mean that she only needs one day to come to Chang'an?

How many miles can you travel in a day by horse-drawn carriage?

It's only a few dozen miles away.

Not to mention Jin Shengman, even Wang Shengnan was shocked.

Traveling thousands of miles a day, I dare not even think about it, I can’t even think about it, is that flying through the clouds?
Wang Shengnan thought about it: "It's really hard to think about traveling thousands of miles a day, but I really look forward to the day when the railways will bloom everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. With the trains, I will be able to visit famous mountains and rivers and scenic spots to my heart's content. It's interesting to think about it." very."

Jin Shengman nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, in fact, many people in Silla admire Datang and are full of curiosity and yearning for Datang. Many people want to visit Datang, but the distance is too far away. Now, the road is not smooth..."

The two were whispering and gossiping, the little guy was very excited at first, but after eating and it gradually getting dark, the little guy started to feel sleepy, sleeping on Su Cheng's lap as his pillow.

Wang Shengnan was also leaning on the sofa in a daze, but Jin Shengman didn't feel sleepy at all. Although she was tired after a long day's journey, seeing the person she was thinking about day and night, it seemed that the exhaustion all over her body was dispelled. .

Jin Shengman got up gently and came to sit beside Su Cheng, looking at Su Cheng and the little guy who was sleeping on Su Cheng's lap, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"It's really hard for you to take care of the children all the way." Su Cheng said softly.

Jin Shengman shook his head slightly, and said softly: "No, I didn't feel hard at all. In fact, he was very good along the way. Although it was boring and tiring to stay in the carriage all the time, I told him that I was going to see my father. He can be patient."

Su Cheng felt very warm when he heard this, and said with a smile, "When we get to Chang'an, I'll take him around to play."

Jin Shengman said with a smile: "Then he must be very happy."

"By the way, is your sister okay?" Su Cheng asked with concern.

Jin Shengman nodded and said, "My sister is in good health."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Then don't rush to go back, stay in Chang'an for a few more years, let Jue'er enlighten him, and I will teach him more, maybe, the railway will reach Liaodong by the time you return."

Jin Shengman asked expectantly: "Is it that fast?"

Su Cheng explained: "Technology is the primary productive force, and it depends on human effort."

"Then, can we also have trains in Silla?" Jin Shengman asked.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Yes, the steam engine is actually not complicated, and it will spread in a few years. When the railway is built in Liaodong, Silla can follow suit to develop the railway."
