“This country is too domineering and arrogant to even allow begging, so don’t you give those homeless people a way to live?” Some people gritted their teeth, feeling that the Tang Kingdom was simply a brutal country, and even beggars were not allowed to exist, and it was too hateful to fight for the old life to grooming the peace.
“You know a fart.”
The residents of the Tang Kingdom looked at this group of people with contempt: “As long as they have hands and feet, they can’t die of hunger in the Tang Kingdom, let them build the railway, but give them the opportunity to work, you know?” Now the entire Tang Kingdom is up and down, full of all kinds of infrastructure projects, you can find a job casually, and it is impossible to starve to death. ”
“Impossible, what are you kidding, you mean that there is no starvation in the Tang Kingdom now?” As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.
After all, even a country of powerful treasures does not dare to say that its country will not starve to death.
Because occasionally there will be natural and man-made disasters, such as floods, droughts, plagues and other disasters, once these disasters occur, it is not known how many people will be displaced and corpses will be strewn everywhere.
But now the Tang Kingdom actually does not starve to death, this is not a joke, or something.
“No joke, because this is all a reward from the gods, and the god-sama has given us divine rice, so that we are saved from famine and no longer need to starve.”
When the residents of the Tang Kingdom talked about the gods, they immediately showed a pious look, after all, the gods who solved the famine in the Tang Kingdom, no matter how much they revered, could not be exaggerated.
God?!
Everyone’s eyes flickered, to be honest, before coming to the Tang Kingdom, they had heard some information about the Tang Kingdom, which claimed to be the country of gods and a country blessed by the ancient gods.
But they didn’t believe it very much, thinking that it must be the Lord of the Tang Kingdom who was bragging, how could there be such a creature as the primeval god in this world.
Therefore, it must be some kind of special world prop that makes this happen in the Tang Kingdom.
But no matter what the truth is, the Tang Kingdom has amazing financial resources, that is for sure, just the ability to make the two billion citizens hungry is enough to make the country of treasures hungry.
If they can snatch such a world prop, then the national strength of the Treasure Country will probably reach a new level.
“What do you mean by railways?”
Third Prince Zhao Feng suddenly noticed the strange term said by the uncle, and it was the first time he had heard of such a thing as a railway, which made him feel very curious.
“Haha, you are coming to Tang Country for the first time, it is actually a normal thing to not know the railway, it is now the main means of transportation in our Tang Kingdom, we basically have to go to the station, take a horse-drawn carriage, and go to major cities in China.” The old man brushed his white beard and smiled slightly.
“Why do you need to build railways in horse-drawn carriages?”
A group of people looked confused.
After all, according to their understanding, the so-called carriage is a horse pulling a cart, constantly galloping on the road, but there is no need to build any railway, ordinary dirt roads are enough.
“Oh, there’s the station in front, you can go over and see what’s going on.”
The old man enthusiastically led everyone to the station in front.
What the?!
The third prince Zhao Feng and the others quickly went to the station in Heihe City, and immediately they saw a huge building appear in front of them, which was simply full of traffic and people.
It seems that tens of thousands of people are coming in and out every moment.
At the same time, goods from all over the world gather in this place, which is not only the center of crowd gathering, but also the center of cargo gathering, which is simply the busiest and most lively place in Heihe City.
Immediately, they saw a road fundamentally made of steel in front of them, extending straight into the distance, with no end in sight.
And on this steel road stands a strange object, constructed of carriages one by one, at least a dozen carriages, which looks like a black snake.
The head of these carriages is a huge horse, the whole body is red, as if condensed by flames, from time to time from the nostrils of fire and whining sounds.
Numerous passengers dragged their luggage up and down from these carriages.
Even these strange carriages are not just as simple as one, there are more than a dozen standing side by side at the same time, which looks extremely amazing, completely shocking Zhao Feng and others.
“Is this the carriage?”
Zhao Feng and the others were stunned, when they had seen such a means of transportation, it was simply unheard of.
“That’s right, this is the special means of transportation of our Tang Kingdom – horse-drawn carriages.”
The old man said proudly: “Don’t look at it as if it is ordinary, but the speed can reach 600 kilometers per hour, and if you go full speed, you can even reach a thousand kilometers, but most of the time it is 600 kilometers per hour.”
The arrival of Heihe City in the capital Chang’an is a full 20,000 kilometers, but if you run day and night, it is estimated that it will take a day and a half to arrive. ”
What the?!
As soon as these words came out, the third prince Zhao Feng and others were even more shocked, they couldn’t believe what their ears heard, the distance of 20,000 kilometers, it only took a day and a half to arrive, which was too exaggerated.
It was so exaggerated that they couldn’t believe this old man’s words, and even thought that the other party was bragging.
But they saw the old man’s serious look, and they knew that the other party was not lying.
“Just kidding, such a fast speed, if it is to transport soldiers, then doesn’t it mean that in a day and a half, you can get from the capital to the most border city? Even if there is any unrest in the border city, a large number of reinforcements will arrive quickly and be suppressed in an instant. ”
The military utility of these railways was seen.
To know why a huge empire is so difficult to rule, it is because the territory is too vast, so that the forces are scattered, so that if there is a rebellion in a certain place, it is difficult for the central army to appear and rescue in time.
Without this railway, it would have taken at least months, or even a year, to arrive.
After all, the army is also a human being, and it also needs to rest.
And when the army travels, it is also necessary to carry all kinds of logistics, so that it naturally drags down the speed of the march.
But now the appearance of the carriage, the emergence of the railway, has changed everything, all the soldiers, logistics materials are carried to the carriage, a day and a half can be directly pulled to another place, and the soldiers will not be tired.
There is no doubt that this is definitely an epoch-making mode of transportation.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed that there was such transportation in the world.
