Chapter 321 The Incredible Train (Part [-])
After everyone got into the car, Li Changfeng gave the order to start.

Click click!

The train started to move slowly, and the expressions of the people sitting inside became excited.

Because Emperor Ganwu and Li Changfeng were present in the first carriage, everyone maintained restraint, while merchants and representatives of various industries in the rear carriage let out bursts of exclamations.

"It's moving! It's really moving!"

"There must be hundreds of people on the train. The train can be pulled with such a heavy weight!"

"There are hundreds of people, including His Majesty's guards, I'm afraid there are no fewer than a thousand people. It's really unbelievable!"

"It's much more comfortable than riding in a carriage. It's not bumpy at all, and you can even drink tea in it!"

"If such a railway is laid throughout Dagan, it will be very convenient to travel far in the future!"

"It shouldn't be like this, it's more convenient to pull goods, and you don't have to worry about damage on the road and robbers along the way!"

"Yeah, and you don't need so many people to look at the goods, it's much better than a carriage!"

"..."

Over time, the speed is getting faster and faster.

Emperor Qianwu watched the scenery passing by outside through the window, and sighed: "The speed is so fast, it has surpassed the average horse."

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's far from the design speed."

Generally speaking, the running speed of a horse is [-] kilometers per hour.

This speed is far from the design speed of the train.

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were astonished.

Emperor Qianwu turned his gaze back and asked, "How long will it take to reach a hundred miles?"

Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Half an hour."

The design speed of this steam train is [-] kilometers per hour. In fact, it is impossible to run at extreme speed. Excluding the acceleration and deceleration time, the average speed is [-] kilometers per hour.

One hour equals two hours.

One hundred miles equals fifty kilometers.

Isn't that half an hour?
This speed, in Li Changfeng's opinion, is really too slow.

But for people in this world, it is simply incredible.

The officials couldn't suppress the horror in their hearts any longer, regardless of Emperor Qianwu's presence, they let out bursts of exclamation.

"One hundred miles in half an hour, how is this possible!"

"Based on this calculation, wouldn't it be easy to travel thousands of miles a day? This is absolutely impossible!"

"Such a speed cannot exist!"

"Your Highness, you must be joking, right?"

"..."

Even Emperor Qianwu couldn't believe it, and asked solemnly: "You are not joking, is the speed you said true?"

Li Changfeng smiled lightly and said: "Of course it is true. If you don't believe me, you can time it."

Emperor Qianwu nodded, and immediately ordered: "Incense, time!"

Soon, a stick of incense was burning.

Li Changfeng clapped his hands twice, and a group of service staff came out one after another, bringing hot tea and seasonal melons and fruits to Emperor Qianwu and the ministers.

"Half an hour is long or short, everyone relaxes and chats while eating."

……

The stick of incense hadn't finished burning, and the train began to slow down slowly with the sound of "呲" to release the pressure.

The whole carriage shook for a while, and Emperor Ganwu asked in surprise, "Are you at the station?"

Li Changfeng nodded: "That's right."

Then he got up and said to the officials: "The station will arrive soon, everyone can get off the bus to see if you have reached the end station."

Soon, the train came to a complete stop.

Emperor Qianwu and his officials got off the car.

Everyone was shocked when they entered the newly built station and were greeted by local officials.

"The incense hasn't been burned yet, less than half an hour, my God!"

"Really, it turned out to be true, it's unbelievable!"

"This speed is terrifying!"

"..."

Pu Jingtai was among the ministers, trembling because he was too shocked.

Dagan, there is such a miraculous thing!
He subconsciously thought, if the railway track was laid to Korea, wouldn't it be possible to reach Dagan in a day and night?
In addition to the civil and military officials, the accompanying merchants and representatives from all walks of life also looked excited and exclaimed on the platform.

Traveling a hundred miles in half an hour is something they never dared to dream of before. Many merchants were shocked and discovered the huge business opportunities contained in it.

After staying at the terminal for a while, Emperor Qianwu led the crowd to get on the train.

It was a long time after the train started that Emperor Qianwu regained his composure, looked around all the officials and spoke slowly.

"Gentlemen, now you understand why I tried my best to push forward the construction of the railway in the first place, right?"

When Li Changfeng proposed this project, everyone opposed him. He insisted on going his own way and endured a lot of pressure. Some people even called him a fool in private.

Now I can finally feel proud.

All the ministers bowed their heads in shame.

Feng Quji stood up, bowed to Emperor Qianwu, and bowed his hands to the officials.

"Your Majesty, colleagues!"

After everyone's eyes turned to him, Feng Quji spoke solemnly.

"At the beginning, the old minister was actually against this matter, but later His Royal Highness personally came to persuade the old minister. Now that I am the deputy minister of the Ministry of Railways, I will introduce the advantages of the train to everyone. Let's see if what I said makes sense."

Emperor Ganwu nodded in satisfaction, motioning for him to continue, naturally none of the officials dared to object.

Feng Quji raised his first finger.

"First, the train is very stable and comfortable, and there is almost no difference from the ground. In addition to the seats you see, there will be sleeper cars in the future, where you can sleep on them for long-distance travel, and even a dining car to provide food."

After a pause, Feng Quji raised his second finger.

"Second, the train runs extremely fast and is very suitable for pulling goods. It is not afraid of robbers intruding. It only needs one or two people to hold the goods, or even none. It will promote the development of Dagan trade."

Then raise the third finger.

"Third, since you can transport people and goods, you can also transport troops, horses, food and grass. If the Emperor Tiangao's government is not fulfilled, it will be history! The above three points have a great impact on my work, and you must already know it well. !"

After finishing speaking, Feng Quji bowed deeply to Emperor Qianwu, with a hint of guilt on his face.

"Your Majesty has a far-sighted view. How could the old minister see so far in the past, and he also objected in his heart. Now that I think about it, I feel deeply ashamed for my short-sightedness!"

Emperor Ganwu smiled lightly: "The old prime minister has said so."

Feng Quji smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at Li Changfeng, and bowed deeply, with admiration, disbelief, reverence, and even a trace of imperceptible fanaticism in his expression.

"Your Highness..."

Feng Quji thought for a while, not knowing how to express his complicated feelings, and finally popped out a sentence that old general Ye Qing had commented on Li Changfeng before.

"Your Highness, it's really a blessing for me to do so!"

The ministers also echoed for a while.

"Your Highness is really a blessing to me!"
