Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1772 Good News

Su Cheng and Princess Changle were having breakfast when Wu Jue, Shen Xiao and others walked into the upper room. They greeted each other with inquiring expressions in their eyes.

Su Cheng and the princess got up very late, they already knew it, and they were not surprised that Su Cheng got up late, but the princess also got up so late, which is very rare.

Why did the princess get up so late?
It must be because I went to bed late, and I didn't sleep late at all.

Why does the princess sleep so late?

I didn't hear that the princess was uncomfortable, and I also heard that something happened last night. Then why did Su Cheng and the princess sleep so late last night?
Everyone has been there, and the answer is self-evident.

They just feel very puzzled, why?

If Su Cheng had just returned from an expedition, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and it would be fine if the firewood burned until late.

But Su Cheng has been back for so long, why did he suddenly catch fire again?

Although she was a little tired and hurt everywhere, but Princess Changle sat there with a radiant complexion and rosy skin. She ate gracefully, as if she didn't notice the probing eyes of Wu Jue and the others.

With such a thick skin, Su Cheng certainly didn't care about the probing eyes of Wu Jue and the others. The food was still delicious, because he was really hungry.

After eating and drinking enough, Su Cheng went back very comfortably, and began to calculate that he had to go out today.

The electric lights in the mansion were all installed, and it was really gone after tossing until midnight last night.

Go to court?
It's too late.

to the palace?
Li Shimin's picture of Lao Lian is also nothing to look at.

So, should we go to the train station, the firearms supervisor, or the Shenji camp?

There has been no war recently, so the firearms supervisor and the Shenji battalion are actually quite leisurely. After thinking about it, Su Cheng thinks it's better to go to the train station to have a look.

No one came to report these days, so the train station should be operating normally, but Su Cheng felt it was necessary to inspect it.

As soon as he left the Duke's mansion, he saw someone galloping towards him on horseback.

"My lord, my lord, the villain is here to announce the good news!"

"The fleet that went out to sea is back!"

Su Cheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then couldn't help feeling very pleasantly surprised.

The fleet that went out to sea can be regarded as returning. Although he has never mentioned it these days, he is very worried in his heart.

Although the fleet traveled thousands of miles to sea, it was normal to be delayed on the road, but despite the passage of time, he still felt a little uncertain.

After all, the ships of this era are not very good, the navigation technology is not good, the navigation route is not very familiar, and the sea is unpredictable.

Fortunately, the fleet returned smoothly. Su Cheng was really relieved to hear the news.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you can't get your shoes wet. Su Cheng knows that the fleet will be buried in the sea if the fleet keeps going out to sea, but he doesn't want the fleet to have an accident right now.

Because that will dampen everyone's enthusiasm, and we still have to give everyone a taste of the sweetness.

Su Cheng smiled pleasantly and said, "Okay, okay, I should be back by the time I figured out, how is the fleet going? How's the damage?"

"My lord, I also encountered some risks on the way, and we survived without any danger. Only a dozen or so people were lost, and most of them were from aristocratic families. We have gained a lot from this trip! "

After all, it was the first ocean voyage, and it was inevitable that some people would be lost. Su Cheng first sighed slightly, and then asked, "Where are they? When will they enter Beijing?"

"My lord, if they go by water, they should almost reach Luoyang."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Are you coming to Luoyang soon? That's just right, let them come to Chang'an by train!"

train?The messenger was stunned, what is a train?
I have only heard of muskets and artillery, but I have never heard of trains.

He drove non-stop all the way, passing Luoyang without entering, and he had never heard of a train.

"You have worked so hard all the way. I will reward you with [-] coins. Go and rest. The guild will send people to Luoyang to meet them." Su Cheng ordered with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Su Cheng was lazy at first, but now he regained his energy and led the guards to flatter him and head straight to the train station.

After leaving Sujiazhuang and turning to the concrete road leading to the train station, Su Cheng had to slow down, because there was an endless stream of people on the road, some were going to the train station, and some were going to Chang'an.

Before arriving at the train station, Su Cheng felt a burst of noise coming towards him, and saw that the surrounding area of ​​the train station was full of people.

It's so lively!

Seeing the bustle of the train station, seeing so many people coming and going, with excited expressions on everyone's faces, Su Cheng understood in his heart that the operation of the train station was very successful these days.

The birth of the train has completely conquered the people who come and go, and the word-of-mouth of the train has been completely established.

Entering the train station, Su Cheng went upstairs directly. The lobby on the first floor was full of people, it was too noisy, but the upstairs was the office area, which was quieter.

"My little one welcomes you!" The chief steward of the railway station greeted him in a twitchy way.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Old Wu, how is the train operation?"

"The little one strictly followed the rules set by the father-in-law, and everything went very smoothly. The train station is making a lot of money every day!" Steward Wu couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "That's good, but the rules and regulations I made are not golden rules. If you find anything that needs to be supplemented and corrected, you should also bring it up. The important thing is to find ways to operate the train station well."

"My lord, don't worry, the little one will definitely live up to my lord's expectations, and will definitely run the train station well!" Steward Wu almost patted his chest to promise.

The railway station is making a lot of money every day, welcoming and sending so many people every day. In the future, regardless of whether it is ordinary people or rich and powerful, as long as they leave Chang'an, they will take the train first, and he is in charge of the railway station. This is power!

As long as the train station is managed well, he will be considered a figure in Chang'an City in the future. How good is this job?

"By the way, the fleet that went out to sea is back, and now it's about to return to Chang'an City. You send someone to notify Luoyang Railway Station, ask them to send people to meet them, and arrange for the fleet to come to Chang'an by train." Su Cheng ordered.

The fleet that went to sea is back?

This is a great happy event, Manager Wu hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord, I will send someone to take the train to Luoyang!"

Su Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Go, go!"

Steward Wu walked quickly with his waist down, and Su Cheng remembered that he had to inform Wang Shengnan as soon as possible.

Anyway, Wang Shengnan is also the vice president of the Maritime Trade Association.

These days, Wang Shengnan has been thinking about the fleet going to sea very much, and it is time to tell her the good news to make her happy.
