The main structure of the iron wheel car is wood, only the wheels and part of the base are made of iron material, so the car is not very heavy, far inferior to the iron car in later generations.

In this way, as long as Li Longji and dozens of ministers board the carriage, the total weight of the carriage will increase a lot, which has higher requirements for the driving manpower.

In order to ensure that the vehicle can pass on the rails at a relatively high speed, Li An added 6 male servants, with a full amount of 8 or 1 people, responsible for driving the front of the iron wheel.

This is also calculated by Li An in advance. The driving force provided by 8 or 1 people is enough to pull the train and dozens of people planted.

In order to facilitate getting on and off the car, the position of the horse and horse is designed in the middle of the side, and there are 6 rows of seats in the front and back. Similarly, there is a small open space in front of the front row, where the legs can be stretched freely, which is the most comfortable position, and the rear row is a simple wooden cushion, which is slightly less comfortable.

Li Longji first boarded the car with the support of 2 small court Eunuch, Gao Lishi also followed along, Li An and dozens of ministers who followed closely from behind, and boarded the car in order according to the position.

Everyone was surprised to see the inside of the car. This structure was something they had never seen before. After all, the vehicles on land were very small, and the car built by Li An was very large and had 48 seats. , The scene can be called luxurious.

“Your Majesty, you sit at the front.”

Li An must of course reserve the best position for Li Longji, and the four seats in the front row are reserved for Li Longji. In Great Tang, no courtier can sit on par with Li Longji.

However, with the exception of Li Longji, no courtier dared to sit down casually. When Emperor was present, the courtier could not sit down casually unless Emperor gave the seat. This is the imperial power of the feudal era, anyone Don’t touch it.

“Let’s sit down, Ministers!”

Of course Li Longji will not let all the courtiers stand on the bus, he is still very good to these courtiers.

According to the size of the official position, the ministers of the government officials sit down first, and the ministers of the officials and officials sit down. After a while, these ministers all sit down.

Although Li An ’s position is not the highest among the group of ministers, he needs to explain the situation of the car for Li Longji, so he sits behind Li Longji, and the position around him is still free.

“Great General, please sit down! Just sit beside me.”

Li Longji politely asked Gao Lishi to sit down as well. His old slave was quite old, and it would be more difficult to stand and ride.

“Your Majesty, the old slave just stands.”

Gao Lishi resigned.

“Great General still sit down! Otherwise, Your Majesty will be upset.”

Li An responded.

Seeing this, Gao Lishi walked directly to the second row and sat next to Li An. He was a slave of Emperor. He could not sit with Emperor anyway, and there were so many ministers in the carriage.

Seeing that the minister was all seated, Li An lifted the silk curtains on the side and ordered aloud: “Okay, drive, start.”

Twenty-eight male servants heard the order and began to pedal hard, slowly starting the iron wheel head, and pulling the carriage to move forward slowly.

“Huh, moved, really moved.”

“It seems that the front of the car can really pull so many of us!”

“This rail car is not only stable, but also able to pull people. The only drawback is that the rails are too much material.”

“Yeah! Yeah! My Great Tang ten thousand li mountains and rivers. If all the railroad tracks were laid, how much iron would it take!”

When the vehicle slowly started, all the ministers discussed privately. It is not surprising that the ministers will have such doubts in the Great Tang, where supplies are relatively scarce.

Li Longji lay on the comfortable seat and felt the speed of the car slowly increasing. After the speed stabilized, slowly looked towards the outside of the car.

“Yes, it is indeed smoother than Marathi’s, and its capacity is also greater. Don’t worry about Ma Jing, I like it very much.”

Li Longji felt that this person’s car was too comfortable, and he had a small 9 9 in his heart.

“Many thanks Your Majesty praised, This Small Official will make persistent efforts to make the car better.”

Li An knew that Li Longji would definitely like it, but didn’t expect Li Longji to praise him in front of so many ministers, which he did not expect.

Li Longji was satisfied with the nodded, looked towards Li Linfu on the side and rear, opened the mouth and said: “Right Chancellor, Guanzhong area, can there be iron ore?”

Li Linfu hearing this, I was shocked, this time accompanied Li Longji to come to inspect, Li Longji and Li An are the absolute protagonists, the head of his group of officials, has become a relatively minor person, plus him I don’t quite understand Li An’s things, so I just laughed at all along with my colleagues, not at all took the initiative to say any suggestions, and didn’t dare to talk nonsense, so as not to expose my ignorance.

“Back to Your Majesty, there are 9 mines in Guanzhong iron mine, 5 are being mined, and 4 are unmanned.”

Li Linfu’s cultural knowledge is not very good, but he knows a lot about Imperial Court, and even knows how many iron mines in Guanguan are clear. When Li Longji asks, he can answer directly.

Therefore, Li Linfu has always been favored, not only by flattering and fawning and stubbornness, he also has a few brushes, which makes Li Longji feel comfortable to use.

“Oh, there are so many, how about the reserves?”

Li Longji didn’t care about these details of political affairs, and he didn’t expect that there are so many iron ores in Guanzhong area, but he is more concerned about the reserves of these iron ores.

“Reserves?”

Li Linfu was stunned for a while, and faithfully replied: “Your Majesty, according to the current mining progress, these iron ore mines have not been exploited for 10,000,000 years. When one iron mine was in the pre-Qin period, it was already being mined, and it has not been mined until now At the corner of the mountain, my Great Tang is rich in resources and the resources can never be exploited. “

Li Longji hearing this great joy: “According to putting it that way, as long as you use black powder to explode the ore, you can get a lot of iron material. As long as there is enough iron material, it is possible to lay rails on the road.”

“Your Majesty, as long as black gunpowder is used, the mining speed of iron ore will increase exponentially. This Small Official believes that my Great Tang will definitely have countless iron materials. When the time comes, it is entirely possible to lay rails. “

Li An affirmed that he has envisaged this situation many times. As long as there is no problem with the output of gunpowder, the mining speed of iron ore is guaranteed, and once there is a large amount of iron material, the laying of rails will naturally There is no shortage of raw materials.

Li Longji highly recognized this, looked towards Li An, and urged: “Minister Li, if you want to lay rails on the road, you must have enough iron material, and my Great Tang does not lack iron ore, as long as you are in black powder In the workshop, with enough black powder, the mining efficiency of iron ore will be greatly increased, and the raw materials required for laying the rails will not have any problems. Therefore, the burden on the Minister Li is very heavy, and must try to configure more Yes. “

“Yes, Your Majesty, This Small Official understands that This Small Official will definitely redouble its efforts to configure enough black gunpowder as soon as possible, so that the laying of rails will never lack raw materials.”

See that Li Longji and Li An have reached an agreement on the laying of rails, all the ministers are started, but the thought of the giant might of black gunpowder, the ministers are calm, if black gunpowder can really make iron ore The speed is increased many times, then the extra iron can be used to lay rails, that is to say, as long as there is enough iron, it is not unrealistic to lay rails on the road. Of course, the Great Tang is ten thousand li It is impossible that all roads are covered with rails, but it is completely feasible to lay rails on some of the core arterial roads, and Li An has a better plan that will increase the capacity of the iron car by many times. , Why not give it a try?

Lying on a comfortable special seat and enjoying the scenery outside the car, the ministers feel very good. If you can sit in such an iron car in the future, the fatigue of the journey can be greatly reduced. The distance traveled in a day can be greatly increased, and the people sitting in the car will not be tired.

In particular, these ministers are not too young, and their bones are relatively weak. They ca n’t travel far in a day when they sit in a bumpy carriage. Otherwise, the bones will be broken up. If they sit in such an iron wheel carriage, There will be no more uncomfortable feelings. When going out for inspection, the efficiency will increase many times.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that Great Tang has enough iron materials, otherwise everything is empty talk. Of course, these ministers also believe that as long as a large amount of black powder can be produced smoothly, it can be greatly increased. The output of iron material allows Great Tang to have enough iron material to produce rails.

The comfort of the iron wheel car has been unanimously recognized by Li Longji and the ministers. At this moment, only the sufficiency of the iron material is left, and the premise of sufficient iron material is the large supply of black powder, and for Li An It is said that providing enough black powder is simply not a problem. Therefore, the railroad track is finally popularized, and it is already a matter of rigidity. No one can change it.

The iron carriage stopped slowly within 3 miles, because the rails are currently only so short, there is no way to drive forward, which makes everyone feel a little unpleasant, such a comfortable iron wheel, who does n’t want much Sit for a while?

With the order of Li An, ten or eight servants changed the direction of the drive mechanism and driven the iron wheel head backwards to drive the iron wheel carriage back to the place of departure.

“It’s going back, it can go back directly.”

“It’s amazing, This Lowly Official was thinking just now, how can I turn the direction of such a big car? Didn’t expect can actually come back directly, amazing invention!”

“Minister Li invented so many new things, Lu Ban is alive!”

“Minister Li’s achievements are much better than that of Luban Master. Luban Master can’t make rails and iron wheels!”

When the carriage slowly receded, everyone was surprised. Many people were thinking about the U-turn problem, but the head of the car didn’t move, and they just fell back. This made everyone startled. Of course, some ministers saw Li before. An came back in reverse, and more ministers were busy eating cucumbers, not at all noticing how the carriage came back.

Li Longji also recognizes the technology of automatic steering of the front of the car, and he likes the car made by Li An more. Of course, he hopes that Li An can create a special royal car for him to meet his various needs.

Li Longji’s most desired railway line starts from the northern part of Daming Palace and extends to the hot spring palace a few 10 li away. In this way, it is very convenient for him to go to the hot spring palace every time, and there is no need to bump all the way.

However, for the time being, this is not realistic. It is necessary to produce black gunpowder on a large scale, and then increase the output of iron ore. After the iron material is sufficient, a long-distance rail is laid, and then it is possible to realize his idea.

The iron-wheeled car slowly stopped at the starting position. At this point, the experience was over. Li An first stood up and reminded: “You guys have arrived at the station and can get off.”

The ministers hearing this all stood up consciously and said to themselves, they did not feel much before the experience, they felt that laying the rails was too material-consuming, and after the experience, they all changed their views and understood the iron Wheels have great advantages, and Li An has promised to continue to improve until these vehicles can benefit 100 people, so everything is possible.

“You Minister get off first, I have something to say with Minister Li.”

Li Longji does have a lot to say to Li An, and these words are not convenient in front of the ministers.

The court officials heard the order, and in order of size, moved towards the carriage in order, and after walking down the carriage, they gathered in small groups to discuss the feasibility of laying rails on the Great Tang road, and, with the current national power of Great Tang, once Which road should be laid first, etc.

Different ministers will have different views, but the general opinions are not much different. Among them, the road from Chang’an City to Luoyang is the consensus of many ministers. They think that the relationship between these two cities is Most importantly, this path is the most important road in the entire Great Tang, so rails must be laid first.

As for Li An, they will continue to improve the performance of iron wheels. These ministers are unable to discuss it. After all, they do n’t understand these, and they ca n’t figure out how Li An will be improved. However, they are still willing to Believe in Li An. After all, Li An surprises them countless times, making them think that Li An is omnipotent. Maybe after some research, they can invent more practical iron wheels.

After all the ministers got off the bus, Gao Lishi also took two small court Eunuch who had been standing off the carriage, leaving only Li An and Li Longji in the whole carriage.

“Minister Li, I plan to distribute 10000 100 surnames to accelerate the mining of iron ore in Guanzhong. Are you equipped with black powder to supply?”

Li Longji asked with great concern.
