Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

At that time, even if the construction of train tracks takes up everyone's land, everyone will understand that it is for the convenience of trains.

Of course, money and compensation will definitely be given for land occupation, but some things cannot be solved by giving money and compensation.

This must be understood by the people from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise, if it arouses public resentment, it will still have some impact.

"What? From Yangzhou City to Chang'an City?"

"Sit on the train and arrive at Chang'an City after lying down for a day and a night?"

"It used to take about a month to get from Yangzhou City to Chang'an City. Now I heard that the concrete road has been built, and the speed is much faster, but it only takes one day and one night. Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"This is what His Royal Highness King Qin said, can it be false?"

"If the railway from Yangzhou City to Chang'an City is built in the future, I might be able to go to Chang'an City to see and see. I have never been to Chang'an City in my life."

Hearing Li Ke's words, everyone present was shocked!

Everyone did not expect that it only takes one day and one night for the train to travel from Yangzhou to Chang'an City!

You must know that it is Chang'an City thousands of miles away, and it can be reached in one day and one night, which makes everyone extremely shocked and unbelievable!

This long distance means that many people in Yangzhou and Suzhou have never been to Chang'an City in their lifetime.

After all, it takes a month to go there, and another month to come back. There are only twelve months in a year, and one-sixth of the time is spent on the road, which is not worth it.

How much work do you have to do in two months.

However, if it only takes one day and one night, then everyone can go and see the glory of Chang'an in the Great Tang Empire!

Thinking of this, everyone became extremely excited and excited.

And when those businessmen heard that it only takes one day and one night to take the train from Yangzhou to Chang'an City, their inner shock was much stronger than that of ordinary people!

Because before Li Ke came to Yangzhou, they all had to go to Chang'an City to buy goods!

At that time, the official roads were not built into concrete roads, and it took at least two months on the road to go back and forth each time.

Therefore, they know better than ordinary people how far there is between Yangzhou and Chang'an.

It is also because of this that they were so shocked when they heard that it only takes one day and one night to travel from Yangzhou to Chang'an City by train.

Because it's just incredible!

If this speed is really achieved, then Datang's business dealings will be countless times more convenient in the future!

Just imagine, a batch of treasures were brought back from overseas today, and they were going to be transported to Chang'an City for sale.

After all, Chang'an City is the capital of the country, and there are rich and powerful people there, and it is also the main market for valuables.

If it was before, they would need to arrange a mule cart, and then spend more than ten days on the road to reach Chang'an City to start selling these valuables brought back from overseas.

After the sale, it will take another half a month before returning to Yangzhou City.

Stock up from Shanghai City and go to sea again.

It took more than a month in the middle, and the whole month was spent on the road.

However, if there is a direct train from Yangzhou to Chang'an City, it only takes one day and one night to reach Chang'an City.

After selling the goods, I took the train back and arrived in Yangzhou after a day and a night.

It can be said that even if there is a delay of two or three days in Chang'an City, it will take at most five days to get everything done.

Compared with the previous rounds, this time saved at least a month of time!

One month is enough for them to do a lot of things and make a lot of money!

Thinking of this, the anticipation and excitement in their hearts was more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary people!

Seeing the anticipation in everyone's eyes, Li Ke also showed a smile on his face.

This is the transition of the means of transportation, leading to a great improvement in transportation efficiency.

Chang'an City is about 1150 kilometers away from Yangzhou City, and even if the speed of the Datang train is not fast, it only needs to reach 50 kilometers per hour to arrive in 23 hours.

23 hours, isn't it the time of a day and a night?

After all, the train does not need to rest, it only needs to add coal and boil water to keep running, day and night.

And building a railway from Yangzhou to Chang'an should not be a problem in this era.

After all, he is building a railway with a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, not a railway with a speed of 3 kilometers per hour, so the requirements for the railway will be much lower.

As for the railway with a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, with the current industrial level and under his guidance, it is not a problem at all to build it.

As for labor, were not the slaves the best labor?

And once the railway is built, he can return to Chang'an City with peace of mind!

At that time, he can not only be his prince or even emperor in Chang'an City, but also continue to promote the development of Shanghai City!

Therefore, this is also one of the main reasons why he wants to build this railway!

PS: The first update!corpse.

Chapter 338 Establishing a Maritime Academy!Look for Yuan Tiangang!

Of course, the construction of the railway from Yangzhou to Chang'an will be done later.

The main purpose of today is to let everyone experience the train experience first.

Let everyone know what kind of train it is, what it feels like to ride, how fast it is and so on.

"Now, if everyone wants to try the train, they should line up in an orderly manner."

"There are two trains here, both of which run between the seaport and Jianggang. They are all free of charge. You can take whichever train you want to take."

After Li Ke said something to everyone, he let the soldiers on both sides get out of the way.

"You can go up to experience the train?"

"And it's free to ride. You must go up and try this train to see if it's good."

"Quickly get in line!"

After hearing Li Ke's words, everyone was very excited and looking forward to it.

They all came to line up at the doors of the carriages one after another, and stepped into the train carriages one by one.

Those who went up first found a place to sit down, and those who went up later didn't care when they saw that there were no seats, so they found a place and sat directly on the ground.

Not only ordinary people got on the train, but also the businessmen who came to watch.

Compared with the common people on the side of the passenger car, they are on the side of the freight car.

After all, in their view, this train is mainly for transporting goods, and the freight cars are naturally more important.

After getting up, they found that the freight car had no seats and no fancy design, it was just a rectangular car!

This kind of carriage is undoubtedly the most suitable for loading, the space is maximized, and more goods can be loaded at one time.

Soon, everyone here got on the bus.

Thousands of people, probably more than 2000 people sat on each train.

"Sit down and hold on tight, the train will start moving soon!"

Soon, the staff on the train began to shout loudly.

After everyone heard this, they all sat down and helped each other according to the instructions, and there was a lot of anticipation in their eyes.

Soon, the steam engine started to work, and puffs of white smoke began to come out of the chimney.

Immediately afterwards, the steam engine drove the wheels of the locomotive to start running, and the whole train began to move forward slowly.

"It's really moving!"

"I feel it too. It really doesn't need animal power at all. This train can carry more than 2000 people forward!"

"Oh my god, this train is amazing!"

"The scenery outside the window is changing, and the train is indeed moving!"

"The speed is getting faster and faster!"

When the train moved forward, everyone on the train could clearly feel it, and their faces were shocked!

Although they believed this fact before, it was all out of trust in Li Ke!

But at this moment, they have personally experienced the train and witnessed with their own eyes that the train is really not pulled by animal power at all, and they took more than 2000 of them forward.

The inner shock, as well as the impact on the worldview and cognitive outlook, are hard to describe in words.

In their view, this is completely a miracle!

At this time, some people couldn't help but think of the scene they saw on the Yangtze River and on the Yangzhou pier some time ago.

It was also a boat back then, with no sails hoisted and no one rowing.

But that ship was also emitting white smoke from its tail, and then sailed quickly in the Yangtze River.

At that time, everyone didn't understand it, thinking that the stern of the ship was on fire.

But now seeing the locomotive continuously emitting white smoke, and the train carrying more than 2000 people on the railway, everyone suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.

That boat and train should be powered by the same kind!

Although I don't know what it is, it must have something to do with the white smoke.

Looking at the constantly changing scenes outside the window, everyone can feel that the speed of the train is getting faster and faster!

Someone who has ridden a horse has seriously felt the speed and found that the speed of the train is not worse than the speed of riding a horse!

Generally, the maximum speed of riding a horse is about 50 kilometers per hour, which means that the speed of this train has also reached about 50 kilometers per hour at this time!

Yes, after replacing the steam engine with several times more power, even though more coal was burned, the horsepower was indeed completely full.

Even if it pulls more than 2000 people, it can reach a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour.

Next, if you want to increase the speed per hour, you have to build a more demanding railway and start two steam engines at the front and parking spaces at the same time!

Yes, both trains have two steam engines on them!

However, only one was activated.

Because this is the route between the seaport and Jianggang, when going from Jianggang to the seaport, the current locomotive is the head.

But when returning from the seaport to Jianggang, the current locomotive becomes the tail of the train!

Although the train has a valve device, it can go forward or backward.

However, it is not recommended to reverse the train for a long time. After all, there is no vision, and it is still somewhat unsafe.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to start another steam engine as a locomotive to drive the train forward.

But for normal driving, it is enough to start only one steam engine.

The common people don't understand this, but they know that the speed of the train is very fast!

The businessmen sitting in the freight car at the back were stunned when they saw that the speed of the train was so fast, comparable to the speed of riding a horse!

Although riding a horse has such a fast speed, it can only carry one person and cannot transport any goods.

Moreover, horses also need to rest. To maintain such a high speed, they can only run for more than an hour at most.

And this train not only maintains such a high speed, but also carries more than 2000 people!

Not only that, this train doesn't need to rest, it can run all the time!

Now they believe that it really only takes one day and one night from Yangzhou to Chang'an City!

Moreover, after they thought that this train would be used to transport goods between the seaport and Jianggang, their hearts became ecstatic!

With this train, the transportation of goods from Jianggang to seaport, and from seaport to Jianggang is simply too convenient!

It saves effort and time.

Soon, everyone felt the speed of the train slow down.

It didn't take long for the train to stand still on the railway. Everyone looked out the window and found that they had arrived at the harbor pier!

You must know that the distance between the harbor and Jianggang is about 10 kilometers!

And at this time, only half a stick of incense had passed since they set off!

This speed is too exaggerated!
