Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 230 Encountering Bandits
Li Ke was startled, and looked back, and saw an aunt pushing a wooden shelf with wooden wheels, passing by the crowded aisle, on which some fruits, peanuts and melon seeds were placed.

Li Ke was speechless, then smiled wryly.

Although I am speechless, I am very happy to see that the people can also drive many industries!
At least many people in the car will spend some money to buy these foods, which also proves that the quality of life of the people of Long Kingdom is indeed very high.

this time.

Li Ke's destination is the south!
All the time, he has been active in the west and north.

Chang'an used to be to the west, and today's capital city is to the north.

Li Ke has hardly been to the south, so he wants to see how the various places in the south are developing.

Throughout history, the south has developed very well in several dynasties.

The south is rich and prosperous, with mountains and rivers.

Whether it is food or living standards, it has always been ahead of other places.

For a long time, Li Ke has been checking the situation in some relatively poor places.

Now, let's reflect on our thinking, and also want to see if these places that have always been good are really that good?
The speed of the train was indeed fast enough for the people of this dynasty.

Li Ke was somewhat dissatisfied, and he didn't feel comfortable sitting in the car.

Fortunately, there is a six or seven-year-old girl opposite him. The little girl is very cute. From time to time, a small cart passes by, and she will pester her parents and ask to buy some snacks.

And from time to time, he would look at Li Ke with wide-eyed eyes, which made Li Ke also interested in her, winking at her from time to time, and teasing her, which can be regarded as relieving boredom and boring along the way.

In addition to the little girl opposite, there was also a beautiful girl sitting beside Li Ke.

The girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her family is a little rich. This time, she also brought some money and wanted to go out for a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Li Ke's appearance has long attracted this young girl, but she has never seen such a handsome man as Li Ke, so she would keep her eyes on Li Ke from time to time along the way.

Li Ke was naturally aware of it, but he didn't give any response.

But he didn't expect that after a long time, the girl would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with Li Ke.

This surprised Li Ke a little. He didn't expect this kind of rumored encounter to happen on an ancient train.

After a few brief chats, Li Ke made up an identity for himself, saying that he is a scholar, and he also came here for sightseeing. He heard that there are many beautiful mountains and rivers in the south, so he came here because of his reputation.

Hearing what he said, the girl seemed to open up the topic at once, and she and Li Ke used this as an entry point to chat about many things and scenery.

During the period, the girl mentioned the current emperor, Li Ke, several times.

Whenever it is mentioned, there is a look of admiration and awe in her eyes.

It seems that Emperor Li Ke is the god in her heart.

For such a situation, Li Ke is no stranger to it.

He just watched the girl with a smile on her admiration for Li Ke, the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom.

Afterwards, the two chatted a lot, until it got dark, and Li Ke and the girl felt sleepy, so they lay down on the small table in front of them and prepared to rest.

After the train has been improved, a lampshade made of glass is installed at the front of the train.

The burning torch inside is basically less likely to be blown out by the wind while driving.

It's just that the light from the fire is still not very bright.

But fortunately, it is also possible to see clearly within a distance of nearly seven or eight meters in front of the front of the car.

The most important thing is to be able to see the railway clearly!
So in this case, the train slows down and can still move forward.

It's just the speed, it will be in the thirties or forties.

In this way, it can travel [-] kilometers in one night, which can save a lot of time and avoid staying at night.

Li Ke's compartment was very close to the front of the car.

When resting on my stomach, I can also see the faint light from the torch in the lampshade on the front of the car outside through the window.

He was always thinking about whether he could use the steam engine to generate electricity.

In this case, find a way to make a light bulb.

Perhaps it can not only solve the problem of trains running at night, but also allow Chinese people to have new things to use for lighting at night.

Today's common people almost all use resin for lighting, and even candles have not been invented yet.

The lighting facilities are extremely backward!

Once the light bulb and electricity are produced by Li Ke, they will play a very important role in life.

So he conceived in his mind, based on the knowledge he had mastered, thinking about how to realize the steam engine to generate electricity and make light bulbs.

While he was lying on his stomach meditating, he suddenly felt that the speed of the train slowed down a lot.

In the end the train even stopped straight away.

He raised his head and sat up straight, feeling a little unclear.

The girl on the side didn't seem to be asleep either, so she raised her head and looked around, and said to Li Ke:

"What's the matter, why did this train stop? Didn't it mean that it can also run at night?"

Not only her, but everyone else in the carriage also made doubtful voices at this moment.

Li Ke frowned slightly, vaguely feeling something was wrong.

At this moment, the door of this carriage was violently kicked open.

Then, one by one, holding big knives, very fierce-looking big men rushed in and shouted:

"Everyone is not allowed to move, we are bandits, carjacking only seeks money but not life, but whoever dares to resist will surely die!"

The people in this carriage became nervous when they heard these words.

Bandits have always existed, even if Li Ke ruled the world, he could not completely eliminate the existence of these people who ignored the court and the law.

Even if there are trains now, they will still jump out and rob, and there will be a carload of people in one robbery.

In this way, they can get a good harvest after doing it about once.

Li Ke in the car frowned slightly, his face a bit ugly.

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing when he took a train!

But this can't be blamed for the incompetence of the local government. After all, this is ancient times, and these bandits are hiding in the deep mountains. Even if the government wants to encircle and suppress them, it will definitely not be an easy task.

I'm afraid that if you enter this mountain, you won't be able to find their traces at all.

It is bound to be extremely difficult to solve these hidden dangers.

But unfortunately, the route of the train often always has to go to remote places.

So these bandits hide here.

It's also convenient for them.

When Li Ke was thinking this way, the bandits had already started to shout violently, telling everyone in the car to hand over all their money.

Most of the people were afraid, so they all took out their money and belongings one after another.

During the whole process, Li Ke didn't say anything.

But when one of the bandits came in front of them, he became interested in the girl next to Li Ke:
"I didn't expect that there was a beautiful woman hidden here. Get up and come back to the mountain with us."

Hearing this, the girl panicked.

Li Ke's face also turned gloomy. It seemed that these bandits and thieves not only robbed some money, but also robbed people.

This made Li Ke unbearable.
