Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1757 Busy
The night at the train station was very peaceful, but the night in Chang'an City was not so peaceful.

The sky was getting brighter, and the city gate was already crowded. With the opening of the city gate, the people who left the city were so mighty that they couldn't see the end at a glance.

The people guarding the city gate were stunned, they had never seen such a big scene before.

The last time a similar big scene happened was when the library was completed and opened, but the scene that time was not as big as this time.

There are too many people out of town!

Because everyone in Chang'an City knows that the railway is about to be completed and opened to traffic, many people who should have left Chang'an long ago chose to wait because they were looking forward to the train.

Now that the railway is officially open to traffic, they can't wait to set off, and they also know that although the train is officially open to traffic today, it may not be easy to get tickets.

In fact, when they saw the vast and endless team, they felt very anxious. How could there be so many people?

The steam locomotive caused a huge sensation in Chang'an as soon as it came out, and the subsequent railways whetted everyone's appetite.

Who is not curious about the [-]-mile railway?
Who is not curious about the train that can travel [-] miles in half a day?

It’s only [-] Wen for a train ride, and it’s more than [-] Wen for a good meal in a restaurant. It’s not bad to experience the famous train in Chang’an. After all, it takes a lot of time, and it only takes one day. That's all.

There is no shortage of wealthy children from well-to-do families in Chang'an. They are more interested in trains, and they have been looking forward to it for so long. Of course, they want to experience the feeling of taking a train as soon as possible.

Although the gate of the city has just opened and the people leaving the city have not arrived at the train station, the train station has already become lively.

Before, because there were a lot of rich kids from Chang'an City chasing the train, and nearby villagers came to set up stalls, they had already tasted the sweetness.

Now that the railway is officially open to traffic, even a fool knows that there will be crowds of people. Isn't this a good time to set up a stall and do business?

The first to arrive were those on horseback.

Being able to ride horses shows that at least the family is well-off. They all brought their servants, and they couldn't help worrying that no one would take care of the horses after they got on the train.

And behind them are people sitting in carriages. Today can be said to be the busiest day in the history of Chang'an's carriages. All the carriages have been rented out, and even many people with carriages, donkey carts, and mule carts took the opportunity. Start a business, you can earn extra money and watch the excitement.

The first people who arrived on horseback jumped off their horses and went straight to the train station. They had already seen how turbulent the crowd was today, so they understood that it is impossible for everyone to get on the train today.

It can only be first-come, first-served, so the action must be fast.

There were already guides waiting at the gate of the train station. Seeing so many people coming, they quickly knocked on the gong, and then shouted: "People who take ordinary cars go to the ticket window of ordinary cars to line up to buy tickets! Take premium cars Please go to the ticket window of the premium car to buy tickets! Please line up in order! Please line up in order!"

There are a row of ticket windows in the ticket hall, each ticket window has a clever guy waiting, and there are wooden signs in the boxes under the table, which are the vouchers for the train, which train and which carriage are all on the wooden board. on the card.

Knowing that there would be many people who could not read, Su Cheng specially arranged for a lot of literate guys to patrol around the train to help them answer the questions.

The license plate will be recycled and reused when leaving the station.

A scale is placed on the table at each ticket window.

Because it is too laborious and time-consuming to count a hundred coins, Su Cheng came up with the idea of ​​weighing them directly with a balance, which is fast and will not make mistakes.

"I got the ticket! Haha! I got it! I'm the first one to get the ticket! Hahaha, here I come for the premium car!"

The first person to buy a train ticket couldn't help laughing triumphantly. He woke up early today and galloped on his horse. Finally, he finally lived up to his expectations. Not only did he grab a noble ticket, but he was also the first one!
It's not in vain that he has been chasing the train for so many days, and finally he can experience it by train!

Because most of the people who arrived first were from rich families in Chang'an City, because they were young and physically strong, and they rode good horses, plus they often came to the train station before, so they were the fastest.

At the beginning, the ticket windows of several ordinary cars were sparse, because almost all of them wanted to take the premium car, and there was a long queue at the ticket windows of the two premium cars.

Before the crowd in the carriage arrived, the license plates of the distinguished carriage had already been snatched up.

Because Su Cheng knew that there must be a lot of people taking the train today, so only ten noble carriages were arranged for the first train.

The [-] distinguished train cards were quickly sold out, but there were even more people who didn't get any.

Now they have two options. One option is to wait to buy the license plate of the distinguished carriage of the next train, and the other option is to buy the license plate of the distinguished carriage of this train.

Most of the children from rich families chose to wait. They felt that the distinguished carriages were worthy of their status, and they were unwilling to sit in the crowded ordinary carriages.

Of course, there are also children from rich families who feel that if they continue to wait to be sure whether they can buy the number plate of the rich car, they might as well choose to buy the number plate of the ordinary car. It is also good to experience it.

However, there was not much time left for them to choose, and the army of carriages behind them swarmed.

Because the road from Chang'an City to the railway station is a flat concrete road, the speed of the carriage is not slow.

The entire train station suddenly became noisy and crowded, because there were too many people here, some were taking the train, some were watching the excitement, and some were taking the opportunity to do small business.

Although it was noisy and crowded, although the train station could not be said to be orderly, it was still busy. This was because Su Cheng had done a drill in advance and arranged for people to maintain order.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that Su Cheng personally led people around for a few rounds. Almost everyone knew that Su Cheng was sitting here today. No one dared to make trouble, even the most rebellious person had to be honest.

After all, with Su Cheng's current status and prestige, even Cheng Chumo and his sons of the dukes would listen obediently, let alone other wealthy children.

Soon the number plates of ordinary carriages were also sold out, and ticket sales were suspended on all ticket windows.

All the people who bought the car number plates excitedly entered the waiting area along the aisle, a long train was parked there, the doors of each car were open, and people were queuing up to board the train.
