"The Sixth Prince said that with it, most places in the Tang Dynasty can achieve the effect of dawn and dusk."
What Fang Xuanling was talking about was the steam train.
"Can a steam engine achieve such an effect?"
Li Shimin asked.
He was very curious, that was impossible, right? That is equivalent to a magical method! Li Shimin's expression was full of disbelief.
"No, no, no, it's not just a steam engine, the steam engine is just its heart! The Sixth Prince calls it a steam train! With it, it can travel a thousand miles a day. Take Taizhou, two thousand miles away, for example. It starts now, and the second It will arrive at this time of the day. This will be a distance revolution, which can shorten the time to one-sixth of the original! If it is a march, it will take at least ten days to get from Chang'an to Taizhou, but with it, It can be achieved in one day, and the soldiers will not feel tired on the train. They will still be energetic in fighting."
When Li Shimin heard this, he licked his lips directly.
Obviously, he was tempted.
With this divine object, how could the Tang Dynasty be strong?
He couldn't wait to see the results soon!
He even thought of urging Li Min to build it quickly!
"Is this serious?"
"Of course, what the Sixth Prince says is never wrong! Whether it's transporting supplies or troops, with the train, everything becomes very convenient!"
"Does this train need a cement road? If so, then... it will cost a lot of money!"
Since it is a car, there must be a road.
Therefore, Li Shimin's first thought was the cement road.
That’s a huge investment! It’s not something ordinary people can do! Even if Li Min wanted to build it, it would be very laborious and unpleasant!
Without waiting for Fang Xuanling to speak, he added: "In this case, how much cement will be needed to get to Taizhou? This is a big project! It will also use up a huge amount of time and energy..."
The implication is that it will cost a lot of money. It’s hard work!
Fang Xuanling said: "No, no, no, it is not a cement road, but something called a railway."
"Railway? What is that? A road made of iron? That will be a lot of money!"
Li Shimin believes that iron is more expensive than cement!
However, nothing is possible without money.
What Li Shimin thinks about most is money.
Yes, without money, you can’t build anything.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, only two people could create it. The first one was Li Shimin.
The second is Li Min.
Li Min is backed by Shengtang Group, and he will have as much money as he wants.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. The railway is only composed of two tracks, and it does not require much money. But it is not a lot!"
Put aside the money issue.
Li Shimin asked again: "What does the train look like?"
"The train is made up of multiple sections. One section is about one foot wide and high, and about nine feet long. It can accommodate about two hundred people!"
In this way, Li Shimin could imagine the shape of the train.
But there were doubts as to whether the steam engine could pull so many people.
"There are really so many people. How much strength does it take to pull out the car?"
"I don't know about this. Maybe this is what the Sixth Prince is studying now?"
Li Shimin didn't know anything about steam engines.
Therefore, its power is naturally unknown.
In fact, the steam engine is just a transition.
Li Min has a lot to do.
He wanted to be driven by an electric motor.
Build more reservoirs, but that would take too long.
Before that, railways had to be built.
Therefore, he adopted the fastest way, building railways first and installing steam engines first.
Anyway, this kind of thing is simply not too simple for him.
As long as there are people, there are things created.
"Have you ever heard when the railway will be built?"
Li Shimin already has an intention.
"I don't know about this, maybe I can go and ask now?"
"When you go, don't forget to involve the imperial court. After all, with the power of a Tang Dynasty group, if you want to build a good railway, you absolutely can't! You know the reason!"
Li Shimin thought to himself that this time must be a big investment. If possible, he might want to invest in Li Min to obtain the right to use it.
Otherwise, one day, the railway will be built, but we will not be able to use it.
You can't beg Li Min, right?
That would be funny.
Therefore, if he wants to invest, he can hold half of the shares, just like a bank.
"I understand!"
"Okay, go and come back quickly!"
Li Shimin was very excited.
He especially wanted to know when the railway would be built.
At the same time, I thought about it again.
After the railway is built, can I use it myself?
If Li Min doesn't open up, what will he do?
Are you asking for it from him?
Or rent?
Thinking of this, he got a headache again.
No matter what you do, it seems to be bad.
Until Fang Xuanling left Daming Palace, he was still struggling.
In the end, I can only force myself not to think about it, and I will know when the time comes.
Let's say that Fang Xuanling left the palace and headed towards the Shengtang Group.
As soon as we arrived at Shengtang Group, we took the elevator directly to the top floor.
At this time, Li Min and Li Yun were having a debate.
The two argued loudly about the railroad.
Li Min said that tunnels can be used to penetrate several mountains to shorten the distance.
However, Li Yun believed that it would be too difficult in that case. It was better to just go around it and build it successfully.
But there is a huge disadvantage, that is, the route becomes longer, the construction period becomes longer, and the budget becomes larger.
But it is still a good idea.
Li Min was okay, but Li Yun was blushing.
This guy may have blushed for the first time with Li Min.
But it wasn't that kind of hatred. After the fight, the two of them remained as usual. After all, this matter was the same.
No one is leaving this for another time.
The argument between the two left Fang Xuanling, who had come here, not knowing what to do.
To help or not to help?
Either wait or leave.
He stood here for a long time, trying several times to interrupt, but to no avail.
Finally, Baoneng sat aside and drank milk tea.
Watch the two argue.
During this period, Ji Ruxue also appeared.
When he saw it was Fang Xuanling, he came to salute.
"How long have they been fighting?"
Fang Xuanling asked.
"It's been since morning!"
"What?"
"However, there are also several projects that have come to fruition during their debates!"
Ji Ruxue said again.
It turns out their argument had a purpose.
"how much longer?"
"I don't know, maybe it will be at night, or it may be over soon. I don't know the specifics!"
Ji Ruxue was a little helpless.
"It doesn't matter, then I'll wait here until they finish talking."
Fang Xuanling could only express this.
After all, both of them are existences that he cannot mess with.
Ji Ruxue smiled slightly.
"Then just wait here. If you need anything, just call me."
"Good work!"
"Where there!"
Fang Xuanling sat down again, waiting for the two of them to finish.
