The heavens start from saving Daming

'woo~~~'

Amidst the ear-piercing roar, the chimney of the steam locomotive hanging from the coal bunker was billowing black smoke.

The steam engine near the wheel vented the pressure, and a large stream of white water vapor was ejected.

The curious Wu Meiniang reached out to open the window, but Li Yunze immediately called to stop, "Don't open the window."

Wu Meiniang was obedient, and took back the little hand that went to push the window.

But those civil and military honorable foreign envoys pushed open the windows one after another.

In an instant, the pungent black smoke and dust were swept into the compartment, which immediately caused a vigorous coughing sound.

Seeing this scene, Wu Meiniang quietly covered her mouth, and then took out a silk scarf to cover it.

"Wait a while." Seeing the chaos in the carriage, Li Yunze called out, "Close the windows first, and then open again when the speed increases so that it won't be so choking."

The windows were closed, and everyone who had recovered crowded around the windows to look out.

Accompanied by the sound of 'hangchihangchi', the train gradually accelerated, and the scenery outside was constantly receding.

There was a continuous coughing sound from the carriage in front, which was where the envoys from various countries sat.

Li Yunze was not interested in pointing them out, so he leaned on the soft cushion and closed his eyes to rest.

Until this time, Fang Xuanling, who was horrified, said something in the hearts of everyone, "It really moved?"

Li Yunze grinned, "You didn't believe in feelings before."

Everyone was embarrassed and embarrassed to answer the conversation.

Li Er, who had been staring at the window before, turned his head to look at Li Yunze, "How long can you run?"

"The terrain is flat, and if you fill it with coal water, you can run about [-] miles in one breath, but it will be much less in the mountains." Li Yunze explained, "The main reason is to add water. After all, the steam engine keeps deflated, and if you don't replenish water in time if steam

When it's over, it won't be able to run. "

Over there, Changsun Wuji was holding a pen and paper in his hand, and he quickly recorded "[-] miles on flat land, half of it on mountainous areas." '

Li Er asked again, "What is the speed?"

"We're only pulling a few carriages now, so the speed is faster. If we pull more, it will be about a hundred miles an hour. Of course, the speed will be slower in mountainous areas."

After a pause, he then added, "The train can run continuously. It can run for two hundred miles to replenish the coal and water. It can keep running for a few days and nights."

"For a few days and nights, wouldn't it be possible to run thousands of miles?"

"This is a real national weapon. You can't run so fast on a horse."

"If the horse is exhausted, it won't be able to run for days and nights."

Amidst the chattering discussions among the crowd, Changsun Wuji quickly recorded on the paper, "Speedy horses can travel a hundred miles in one hour, and the mountainous area can be halved."There is plenty of coal and water, and it goes back and forth endlessly. '

Li Er's expression became more and more satisfied, "How many people and goods can it carry?"

"It's hard to say, it's more comfortable or just force it." Li Yunze smiled. "If you only want to pull people, it should be no problem to pull thousands of people at a time. If you want to pull goods, a million catties is nothing."

Changsun Wuji's writing is like flying 'artifact train, which can be given away or transported. Ordinary people can get more than a thousand pieces, and ordinary people can get millions of catties. '

From the side of the foreign envoys in the front carriage, there was a fierce quarrel.

In a good mood, Li Er raised his hand and waved, "Call them over."

The envoys were called over, and everyone's faces were shocked.

Li Er sat on the chair and asked with a smile, "Why are you arguing?"

"Your Majesty." Ma Zhou, who was in charge of accompanying the envoy, immediately saluted and said, "The minister said that it was driven by the force of the mechanism, but the dog envoy said that there was a horse dragging ahead. The minister was not angry, so he argued with him. "

"Hahaha~~~"

Li Er laughed triumphantly, "Whether the horse is dragging it or not, I will know when I get to Yunyang. Let's drink some hot drinks and rest."

Inuami Mita, who was extremely shocked, stared at the scenery outside the window.

After a while, he turned around and saluted Li Er and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, why are there so many Tang troops outside?"

Speaking of this, Li Er's face immediately sank.

There are many Tang troops along the way, not entirely to protect himself, but because of the endless theft incidents, he had to mobilize soldiers and horses to patrol and guard along the way.

Iron is undoubtedly a good thing, especially the quality of the laid rails is excellent, whether it is made of farm tools, weapons, armor or anything else, it is a high-quality raw material.

Since it is a good thing, people who make up their minds are naturally indispensable.

Not only were there resold directly on the construction site, but even whole villages took advantage of the night to dismantle the paved railroad tracks.

Last year, there were only dozens of death row inmates executed by Li Er himself, but at least half of them were habitual criminals who stole railroad tracks.

He is also very helpless, but there is really no good way for the time being.

Li Yunze smiled over there, and simply leaned back to sleep.

Chang'an City is only tens of miles away from Yunyang, and it only took more than half an hour to arrive.

The legs of all the diplomatic envoys who got off the train were weak.

When crossing the Weihe Bridge before, many people were shocked to kneel down when they saw the Nuoda Bridge made of fine iron everywhere.

Such miraculous power is beyond the reach of human beings.

The envoys, who braced their spirits, got out of the car and rushed to the direction of the front of the car.

After wandering around the front of Nuo Da's car several times, he couldn't find a single horse hair.

Some unwilling ones even jumped into the front of the car to search, but all they could see was coal except iron.

It is possible to make such a heavy steel object run so fast without being drawn by livestock or manpower, this, this, this.
At this moment, many envoys worshiped Datang with all five bodies. The Datang who has mastered inhuman power is the kingdom of heaven.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Li Er looked at the front of the Nuoda car that was adding water through the water tower in front of him, and watched the snowflakes falling from the sky melt into water instantly on the steaming front of the car, his eyes were full of ambition.

With such a military weapon in hand, who can be the hegemon of the world!

The accompanying civil and military nobles were also emotional, and their enthusiasm was hard to hide.

With such treasures, wherever the railways of the Tang Dynasty are built, there will be the land of the Tang Dynasty.

When everyone was immersed in an inexplicable atmosphere, a group of people walked unsteadily on the official road built almost along the railway line.

Li Ji, who accompanied him, said in the foreword, "It's Zuo Wuwei's troops, and it seems that they are escorting and releasing prisoners."

"Ok?"

Li Er frowned slightly, "Call me here."

A group of people came over, and when they saw Li Er, the sergeants of Zuo Wuwei immediately saluted, while the prisoners who were trembling in the snow suddenly wailed towards Wu Meiniang who was beside Li Yunze.

"Good girl, save us quickly~~~"

Li Yunze looked over and immediately smiled.

They are all acquaintances, brothers Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, and a few men from the nephew generation of the Wu family.

Li Er also glanced at Wu Meiniang, who had a pale face, and immediately asked, "What did they do?"

The captain in charge of the escort immediately responded, "These people stole the rails."

Because of losing the railroad track, Li Er hooked dozens of them last year.

All parties attach great importance to this, but the Wu family brothers did not restrain themselves at all, and actually blatantly carried out stealing and selling.

Knowing the reason of the matter, everyone's eyes turned to Li Yunze.

Li Yunze here had a familiar expression, he led Wu Meiniang, who had a pale face, and turned back to the carriage.

Seeing this scene, Li Er waved his hand, "Press back to the capital."

There are many nobles around, all with different expressions.

The Wu family really has a problem with their brains.

Because of Wu Meiniang's relationship, the Wu family obviously got another look.Among other things, the project from Yunyang to Fangzhou was a big piece of meat, and it fell into the hands of their family easily.

Li Yunze's finger slits, casually leaking out some scum would be enough for the Wu family to eat, so he didn't know how to cherish such a god-given opportunity, and even did the thing of stealing and selling the rails.

Compared with Lijiazhuang's great wealth, the mere railway track is worth a few dollars.

If this affects Li Yunze's sense of Wu Meiniang, it will be a real loss.

What does it mean to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon? This is it.

Cheng Yaojin touched Li Ji who was stroking his beard beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, do the girls in my family have a chance?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ji immediately laughed out loud.

He didn't respond, but just gestured to Li Er who was not far away.

The meaning is self-evident, the emperor is waiting for the opportunity, how can it be our turn.

Cheng Yaojin, who was originally a fine person, understood instantly, and stomped his feet with a sigh.

What a great opportunity, it's a pity that the idiots gave the opportunity themselves, but they couldn't seize it.

"I've already known what you guys are like." Inside the carriage, Li Yunze poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Wu Meiniang, "There's no need to worry that it will affect you."

Wu Meiniang was obviously relieved, but after a while, she felt a little nervous again.

Li Yunze understood her thoughts, "How to deal with it is up to you."

In essence, the lost rails belonged to Li Yunze's personal belongings. As the saying goes, if the people don't prosecute officials, he can let them go easily.

Wu Meiniang, whose pretty face was full of gratitude, raised her head to look at Li Yunze and nodded heavily.

'The idiot brothers are really hopeless, and they almost implicated me.it's really, really'

Wu Meiniang's small hands were faintly white because of being held too hard.

On the way back, everyone agreed to not mention this matter.

On the contrary, the envoys from the small days kept asking Li Er for magic tricks such as railways and trains.

Looking at Li Er who was full of impatience, Li Yunze said with a smile, "You can build it if you want. The cost of [-] guan per mile can help you build it."

"Five, [-] guan?!" Inugami Mita screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Why is it so expensive?"

Li Yunze shrugged, "Do you want love or not."

Back in Chang'an City, everyone went back to their homes, but Wu Meiniang didn't go back to Li's Village, but got into the carriage and went straight to Duke Ying's mansion.

At this time, Wu Meiniang did not experience the tragic experience of being bullied and tortured by her brothers in history, and she still wanted to help the Wu family.

But she really couldn't say this by herself, only her father, the warrior Xun, could come forward to intercede.

Sure enough, at dinner time, the travel-worn warrior Xun brought Wu Meiniang and Wu Shun sisters to Lijiazhuang.

Li Yunze, who had prepared dishes and drinks, invited them to have dinner together.

The samurai Xun knew that this matter was essentially stealing, and it didn't seem like a serious capital crime.

But the problem is that both the emperor and the court attach great importance to the railway, regard it as a military weapon, and even mobilize the sixteen guards to guard it in turn.

Those idiots have kicked on the iron plate.

What's more terrible is that if it affects the status of the youngest daughter in Lijiazhuang, it will really be a big loss.

The frustrated samurai Xun, after taking his seat, didn't hold the wine glass or chopsticks, but dragged Wu Shun who was about to have a big meal.

"Nephew, I will entrust you to take care of my eldest daughter in the future."
