Chapter 132

Although Liu Bowen, a teacher, received an invitation to watch the starting ceremony, he also did not come.

Instead, he asked his son Liu Lian to come over for him.

Perhaps because there were so many important people present, Liu Lian seemed a little reserved in front of Yang Xian. Yang Xian couldn't help but think of the scene when he had just traveled to this world. At that time, because Yang Xian didn't come after waiting for a long time, it was Liu Lian who took the initiative to go out to find Yang Xian happened to meet him who had just crossed over to seize the body because he fell off his horse.

At that time, the two sides were still very familiar with each other. At that time, Liu Lian was the son of Liu Bowen, the civil servant leader in eastern Zhejiang, and Yang Xian himself was just an ordinary Hanlin official, and he was also a student of Liu Bowen.

I just didn't expect that in just two years, the identities of both parties would change so much.

It was also because of Yang Xian's encouragement that Liu Lian followed him into officialdom.

Xu Miaoyun sat quietly in the carriage the whole time, looking outside with her eyes, not knowing what she was looking at.

The Beijing-Yangzhou rail train departs for the first time, with a total of four carriages.

The first car in the front row was filled with big shots and accompanying officials who came to watch the ceremony.

The next three carriages were filled with all kinds of supplies.

Anyway, the resources have already been spent on the train to the capital, so Yang Xian is not prepared to waste this transportation opportunity.

Wang Yuemin coincided with him on this point.

After the workers under the command loaded the last box of desserts into the truck, Wang Yuemin stepped out of the truck compartment, clapped his hands, and when he turned his head, he caught Yang Xian's eyes.

Yang Xian smiled and gestured with her.

Wang Yuemin was stunned for a moment and reached out to touch the ends of her hair. It turned out that yellow poplar hair was wrapped around it.

The moment she reached out and took it down.

Breeze blows.

The poplar flowers go with the wind.

The hair all over his head also flew up.

Yang Xian was stunned for a moment, then waved to her and said with a smile: "Miss Wang, the train is about to start."

On the track leading to the capital.

Six majestic war horses spread their hooves and ran along the sleeper track towards the capital.

The truly earth-shaking breakthrough in glass manufacturing in our country occurred during the Kangxi period.

Imported flat glass appeared in my country in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. During the Kangxi period, glass windows began to be used in the buildings of the Old Summer Palace. During the Yongzheng period, they also began to be used in the Forbidden City. It was not until the Qianlong period that glass windows were commonly used in the palace.

These expensive imported products have replaced the traditional window paper and changed the facade appearance of traditional buildings because of their good lighting and enclosure properties.

At this point in time, this technology obviously does not exist yet, and Yang Xian has not made a breakthrough in this area.

Since there was no way to install glass, Yang Xian could only install protective nets on both sides of the original windows of the passenger car.

This is both breathable and allows passengers to enjoy the scenery outside the train.

It also ensures the safety of passengers.But if it rains, it will be a bit troublesome. Then the two rows by the window will have to be abandoned.

Yang Xian thought to himself that it was time to start taking action in the field of glass manufacturing.

We are so busy these days that we cannot take care of many things at the same time.

It really made him realize what it means that manpower is sometimes exhausted, even with the help of the system. It is hard to imagine how all kinds of time-traveling gods without the help of the system and golden fingers can play in other worlds.

"This rail train is really fast."

Zhu Biao's words beside him brought Yang Xian back to reality from his thoughts.

"This car is not only fast, but also not bumpy at all." Zhu Ming nodded and said.

Zhu Xi had talked with the craftsmen before and knew that the greatest contribution to the smoothness of the train was due to the extremely smooth wheels of the train.

The two daughters, Xu Miaoyun and Wang Yuemin, looked at the passing scenery outside the window, their eyes shining.

Watching the scenes on both sides regress rapidly, this feeling is really amazing for them.

This was an experience they had never had before in a carriage.

"According to ancient records, there was such a rail car in the Qin Dynasty?" Xu Miaoyun, who had read all the ancient books, suddenly asked.

Without waiting for Yang Xian to answer this question, the second prince Zhu Xi answered it directly for him.

"Although the idea of ​​Yang Shenhou's rail train did come from the Qin Dynasty, he made a lot of improvements in both the train itself and the track. Therefore, whether it is the transportation load, train speed, or comfort, it is better than The Qin Dynasty is much better."

"Am I right?" Zhu Ming turned to look at Yang Xian, his expression was like that of a normally naughty student who finally got good grades and was waiting for praise from the teacher.

"The second prince is right." Yang Xian smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Xu Miaoyun. "In order to withstand heavier trains, especially the track part, I put a lot of effort into it. But it is amazing that Miss Xu knew that the Qin Dynasty had rail trains, because there are very few records about it, so So many dynasties in the future have failed to inherit this transportation technology, and they are worthy of being famous among the women in the capital."

"Master Yang is so ridiculous. I only accidentally read a few words about rail trains in an ancient book. Master Yang is really amazing. He was able to completely restore it with those few words." Xu Miaoyun said. road.

"Okay, I know you two are both great, so stop complimenting each other here." Zhu Fang interrupted the conversation between Xu Miaoyun and Yang Xian with a smile and asked. "By the way, Marquis Yang Shen, you said that this rail train takes about a whole day from Yangzhou to the capital, so what are you going to do about eating, drinking and sleeping during this period?"

This question is on point. After all, rail trains are not horse-drawn carriages. They stop when they are told.

Yang Xian replied: "On the track from Yangzhou to Beijing, there is a station every hundred miles."

"Each station has a 20-meter-long platform and 12 station buildings, including a lobby for passengers to rest and eat, and convenient public toilets. Not only that, each station is also equipped with stables, horses, feed, water wells, etc. There are also personnel responsible for vehicle and track maintenance and loading and unloading, as well as guard personnel.”

Everything was taken into account, and Yang Xian could be said to have considered everything that could be considered.

Zhu Ping and the others nodded repeatedly when they heard this.

A smile appeared on Yang Xian's face, and then he said: "Of course, there are also various snacks on the train, all produced by Mingji Desserts. And if the passengers really can't help but need to go to the toilet, there are also snacks on the train. There is a special room for going to the toilet.”

As he spoke, Yang Xian pointed in a direction behind him.

Everyone turned their heads and followed Yang Xian's line of sight, and sure enough they saw a door in the distance.
