Datang: God-level Choice

1 The circulation cycle is a little slower

But like fresh fruit or aquatic products, even if there is a more convenient method of making ice with saltpeter, the time is still not enough.

Moreover, the carriage is still too bumpy, and the fresh fruit will be damaged during the journey, and the price will not be sold at all.

But the speed is fast and the train is not stable. It can fully support the fresh goods trade, and give merchants a huge fortune out of thin air.

Even if the price is five times or ten times more expensive, with such speed and capacity, businessmen are willing to pay.

In the hearts of many people, they began to think together, how to find a way to jointly write a letter to His Royal Highness King Qin, calling for the opening of railway freight.

It's so different

More ingenious businessmen are keenly aware that this railway is a super potential investment target.

Chapter [-]: Five-star speed and service

! (The first one! Ask for full order!)

Happy time always flies by

With a long whistle, the train has arrived at Luoyang Station

[-] passengers lined up in disbelief and walked off the carriage

"It's here"

"It's so fast, I've only played a few rounds of cards"

"It was morning when we left, and it's noon now"

"It's so early, let's go to Luoyang for a day, and take the train back tomorrow."

"Okay, but hurry up and grab the tickets, or else it's so hot, it'll be weird to be able to buy tickets tomorrow"

"Yes, I forgot, thank you for reminding"

The passengers have a feeling, and they are still: reminiscing about the almost perfect train journey just now

For Datang, let alone from Chang'an to Luoyang, even in the two nearest prefectures and counties, the traffic time is calculated according to: days, except for businessmen, or those who go to Beijing to take exams, and occasionally visit relatives, generally there are very few people. out of state

Even Datang has relaxed the approval of road guides now, and has built many concrete straight roads.

1 Because although the cement straight road has upgraded the road, the horse carriage is still limited by the horsepower, and it is still not very convenient.

But now, this express passenger train has finally turned the dream of reaching thousands of miles away in a few hours into a reality.

just like a dream

The only trouble is that this train ticket is not easy to buy, especially in the first few days

Even Li Er and the important ministers were impressed

With their eyes, they can clearly see that at the speed of two hours, they can completely connect the two major cities of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City and Luoyang City.

The biggest shortcoming of Chang'an City's inconvenient transportation has been completely made up for

Chang'an City is closer to the border of the Western Regions, which can better control the advantages of the Western Regions. With the development of transportation, materials from all over the Tang Dynasty can be reached more easily and can be fully displayed.

"This train is really a good thing!"

Li Er heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "If the entire Tang Dynasty were railways, I would be able to travel freely and often visit all parts of the Tang Dynasty."

"Especially the newly incorporated Persian area, I have never been there once. It's a pity."

The important ministers on one side were all snickering secretly. They were patrolling everywhere, obviously thinking of pretending to be coercive and traveling. However, it is also very positive to patrol around the imperial road, especially in overseas enclaves like Persia. Therefore, the important ministers also No one objected, "This one-way line is still inconvenient, especially when going back and forth, we have to avoid each other"

"It would be great if we could resume work and lines."

"By the way, from Songjiang Prefecture to Jiangnan, several railways must be built."

Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is deeply touched

In the past, Dengzhou City had insufficient inland capacity, resulting in a large backlog of goods at the port. Now the design scale of Songjiang House is larger than that of Dengzhou City. Land transportation is also a big headache for him.

The waterways in all the states and prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are not all unobstructed, and the waterways in many places are too narrow or too shallow, and they are not as easy to use as imagined.

To put it bluntly, there is no huge transaction volume of sea trade. Chuochuo, but now sea trade has increased the logistics demand of Datang by dozens of times or even more, and even the Grand Canal is a bit unbearable.

It was not until the appearance of the railway that Gao Shilian was given a new idea, and it was the most perfect solution

As long as you are not fools or blind, you can see the advanced nature and huge potential of this railway.

Whether it's passenger or freight, it's not a horse-drawn carriage, or even comparable to the steam-car passenger transport that has just appeared.

Even Tang Jian, the minister of households who was originally the most skeptical of trains, was no exception.

"The double-track budget of the Changluo-Luozhou Railway is only a few million pieces, no problem"

"But this needs to connect Songjiang Prefecture and the entire Jiangnan. Even if the old man is only doing rough fortifications, he is very clear that it will be at least several thousand miles away, and the waterway must be widened to cooperate."

Tang Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Without a few hundred million pieces, it is impossible to handle such a large project!"

The important ministers on one side also looked at each other in dismay

This train is good, but it's a bit expensive
