Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 625 Silly Dog
Gao Ming talked eloquently, from train fares to future operating models, and then to paper currency reform.

The consciousness of the traveler is not covered, Gao Ming's saliva was flying all the way, but Li Shimin and others were fascinated by it.

When he was about to speak, the train also pulled into the railway station of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Knowing the news of Li Shimin's upcoming arrival, the governor of Taiyuan came to wait in the afternoon. Seeing the train stop, he quickly brought a group of Taiyuan officials to greet him.

And Li Shimin and others were tired after a day's train ride. After getting off the train, they ate and slept under the careful arrangement of Taiyuan Governor, and boarded the train again the next morning to return to Chang'an.

After returning, everyone started to get busy.

Li Shimin was busy dealing with government affairs, Gao Ming was busy planning the railway line, Changsun Wuji was busy supervising the construction of the Daming Palace, and Cheng Yaojin was the busiest among them.

He was busy directing his son to drive the train.

"Hurry up, hurry up...you brats, do you know how much face your father and I have thrown away to win you this golden job that you will never worry about for a hundred years, and you are still dawdling, if you don't have me, what would you want Don't even think about it, why don't you face yourself with drowning?"

"Uh..." Hearing Cheng Yaojin's sudden twitch, Cheng Chusi, who had just walked over, suddenly showed a confused face, "Father, what do you mean by that?"

"Snapped!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin slapped him on the head, cursing with spit flying all over the place.

"The meaning of this is to ask you, why don't you take a piss and look like a bear. If you are ugly, you should read more, bah!"

"..."

When did Dad become so educated?
In an instant, Cheng Chusi, who was sprayed with saliva all over his face, was stunned.

Seeing this scene, Li Ji, who was instructing the soldiers to maintain order, suddenly burst out laughing, "Hey, this Cheng Zhijie will still be learned and used!"

He shook his head while talking, and then continued to direct the soldiers next to him.

"His Royal Highness ordered that all knives over five inches are not allowed to be brought into the car, and the luggage is not allowed to exceed twenty catties. Babies do not pay, and those who can walk less than five feet pay half of the money. Priority sitting..."

As a new thing, the train itself can attract a lot of attention, and people like to follow the crowd, so there are too many people here this time, so many that it is impossible to maintain order without sending out the army.

With so many people taking the bus, in order to facilitate charging and prevent fare evasion, Cheng Yaojin also came up with a way to mark it.

Those who spend two hundred Wen to Luoyang will use a brush to make a cross on the other party's face when they get on the bus, while those who spend five hundred Wen to Taiyuan will draw a circle on the other party's face when they get on the bus.

And the result of this is that when you get in the car, you can see that the people sitting in the car, regardless of whether they are men or women, big girls and young wives, all have circles and crosses on their faces.

If this matter were placed in modern times, it would definitely cause turbulent waves, but it would not happen in the Tang Dynasty, because it was the circles and forks that the Duke asked to draw. Do you dare to have an opinion?

Get out if you don't want to sit, they won't let you sit!

Different times have created different practices, and different practices have brought about different ideas.

Just like now, seeing other people getting into the car with circles painted on their faces, and there are more and more people behind them, those who only have copper coins and silver but no treasury bills are starting to panic.

"Hey, whoever has treasury bonds, take me to Luoyang, I'll give you three hundred cash!"

"I'm going to Luoyang too, I'll pay twice, four hundred Wen!"

"I'll give you a tael of silver, who will take me to Taiyuan!"

"And I……"

For a while, there were shouts and shouts in the station, and many people began to join forces, planning to use the priority of the treasury bills to board the train.

Seeing this scene, the household official in charge of directing his subordinates to collect money immediately showed admiration.

"Sure enough, it has become like this, His Royal Highness is really amazing!"

Thinking of this, he quickly picked up a brush and joined the ranks of drawing circles and crosses on the passengers' faces.

"Two in Taiyuan... circle circle, five in Luoyang, chachachachacha..."

As the ink was flying, the household official, who was over half a century old, felt as if he had been awakened, and he seemed to have returned to his time as a small official.

Thinking of his lost youth, at this moment, his eyes were moist.

"I'm so touched. It turns out that this is the life I long for. Come on, come ten more to Luoyang, I'll be chachachachachachachachachachachachachachachachachachachacha..."

……

The train was filled up quickly, and those who got on the train felt complacent, while those who didn't got on the train were downcast.

As the train moved, several young people with black circles and crosses painted on their faces suddenly stuck their heads out of the car window and smiled towards the crowd below.

"Haha, let's go. The car officer said that it will take two days to go back and forth. Come early the morning after tomorrow, hahahaha!"

"And you have to prepare the prince coins, it's useless if you come here, hehehehe!"

"Miss, you go back, I will come back tomorrow and bring you Luoyang's flower cake..."

Amidst the laughter and shouts of the crowd, the train drove out of the Chang'an Auto Show, and then speeded up on the road.

This immediately caused another exclamation.

"Wow... so fast, faster than my horse!"

"This is a divine object!"

"That's right, that's right, I feel like I'm about to fly..."

For them, besides, riding the train is really a magical experience, which makes them very excited.

Female passengers are better, more or less pay attention to their behavior, not too out of line, but those young guys don't take this into consideration.

At this moment, quite a few people had stuck their heads out of the window, letting the howling wind blow their hair wildly.

Some people opened their mouths to let the wind blow in, grinning their teeth and shaking their cheeks, which looked ridiculous.

Cheng Yaojin was sitting in the first compartment, and after seeing this scene, he immediately pointed at those young people and smiled at Li Ji beside him.

"Haha, Mao Gong, look, these guys are too stupid, what did His Highness the Crown Prince say last time? Silly dog... yes, it is a silly dog, that's what he said, hahahaha..."

He laughed as he spoke, but after a while he frowned again.

"Huh? Why are these idiots still blowing? Is this comfortable? Well... I'll try it too!"

As he spoke, he also followed the example of these young people and stretched out his head, opened his mouth towards the oncoming wind, and was blown so hard that his teeth grinned.

At this time, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey hey hey...it's really comfortable, hey hey hey...Maogong, you can try it too, it's so interesting!"

Seeing his excited look, Li Ji was silent for a while, and only after a while did he utter two words.

"silly dog!"

Cheng Yaojin: "o(￣dish￣///)"
