But this day Di Renjie called Li Min again. He explained to Li Min that Li Shimin wanted to take the bullet train.
That was about Li Shimin going to take the high-speed train. This matter seemed very important to him. If it weren't for Li Shimin's intervention, everything would be easy to say. With Li Shimin's intervention, he couldn't make a decision.
Therefore, he found Li Min, hoping that Li Min could give him some direction.
Li Min said after hearing this. "Since the emperor wants to take the train, let him go. It's okay."
Di Renjie said worriedly: "Because during the experimental stage, I'm afraid what will happen if something unexpected happens? Then the future situation is not optimistic."
He was worried about this.
But Li Min didn't think so.
He said: "You think too much. You have to believe in the power of our technology. It far exceeds people's imagination. And this technology has been running for three years. Although it is currently under trial, these technologies are the latest. It is also the safest, and we have also set up some plans. As long as this test is passed, I believe that the EMU will be ready for operation in June."
Li Min said this.
Di Renjie didn't have any special expression.
"In that case, I will promise them."
Di Renjie said so.
"Yes, just agree, it doesn't matter. Even if there is a problem, it is not our problem, he took the initiative to sit.
But as far as I know, the seventh brother said that it has entered the final stage and the problem should not be big. "
"Okay, sir, I'll talk to Fang Xuanling right now. Let him and Your Majesty make good preparations. We'll start it tomorrow."
"Go, it doesn't matter. Regarding the EMU. If you can, I hope to speed up the progress! Especially the train from Chang'an to Qingzhou. As for the train to Taizhou, that's another matter. Because there are still some shipyards in Taizhou. There. So I don’t want to drive trains there for the time being! After all, the speed is fast, and the spread of some news has become too fast. I don’t want some unnecessary trouble to happen.”
When Li Min said this, Di Renjie understood.
why? Because your distance remains the same and time becomes shorter.
More and more people are going to Taizhou, so people talk a lot.
Too many people talking too much is the most troublesome thing.
The probability of leaks at Taizhou's shipyard has also increased.
Even if Li Min does a very good job of keeping secrets, there will always be leaks one day.
So in order to slow down the leakage time, this is what he suggested.
So what if His Majesty and the others ask? "
"If they ask, they will say that there is no condition for opening traffic from Chang'an to Taizhou. The line needs to be reconstructed, and the reconstruction time may be longer.
We don’t have extra time and energy to transform it, so it’s best to build other railways. Let’s consider the Taizhou Express train again. "
Everything is based on what the Shengtang Group says.
Di Renjie said: "I understand what Mr. said, so I will call Fang Xuanling now. Arrange for them to wait at the station tomorrow!"
"Yes! Just give them three carriages. As for the emperor's arrangements, that is his business."
Li Min knew that Li Shimin would definitely let many people participate.
Therefore, he wanted to give him three carriages.
"I understand, sir. Then I'll call Fang Xuanling right now."
"Okay, tell me if you have anything else!"
"yes!"
So Di Renjie hung up the phone and then called Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was very happy after receiving the call.
"Di Renjie, how are you now? Did sir agree?"
Fang Xuanling asked excitedly.
"Yes, sir, it's okay. Three carriages will be given to you tomorrow."
Three carriages is already a lot.
"Thank you sir for me!" Fang Xuanling said.
"Sir, he said that this is a good opportunity for promotion, and I hope His Majesty can make some useful suggestions!"
"Understood, we understand this!" Fang Xuanling said again, he would agree to whatever Di Renjie said now.
Because now he wants to find Li Shimin in the palace. Talk to Li Shimin about this good thing.
Let Li Shimin be happy.
There are three carriages that can accommodate a lot of people. The support from Shengtang Group this time is really great.
"Is there anything else?" Di Renjie asked again.
"No, I will go into the palace now to talk to His Majesty!" Fang Xuanling said.
"Okay, let me know if you have any questions!"
"yes!"
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, she hung up the phone and went directly into the Tai Chi Palace to find Li Shimin.
As soon as Li Shimin saw him entering the palace, he asked: "Fang Xuanling, what's wrong? How are things going?"
"Your Majesty, there is good news!" Fang Xuanling said immediately.
"What good news?"
"The Sixth Prince said that we can take the train tomorrow, and then gave us three carriages."
Fang Xuanling said.
"What? Really? When did this kid become so good?"
Li Shimin was puzzled. Is this a discovery of Li Min's conscience?
Sometimes it’s so hard to be human.
If you treat him well, he will say that your conscience shows you. If you treat him badly, Li Shimin will be unhappy.
Li Min can be said to be in a dilemma.
"I don't know this."
Fang Xuanling said.
He really doesn't know about this.
"No matter what, it's a good thing this kid did this! I'm very happy."
Li Shimin was still very happy when he heard it.
Then he said: "Fang Xuanling, will you come with me then?"
"Your Majesty, is this really okay?"
"Of course you can, and I want the queen to be with the other concubines!"
Li Shimin said again.
"Come here, let the queen and all the concubines enter the palace. I have something to say to them!"
"yes!"
So the eunuch invited Queen Changsun, Concubine Yang and others to Tai Chi Palace.
There were about two hundred of these people.
All of them are as beautiful as flowers.
When Li Shimin saw them, he said mysteriously: "My beloved concubine, let's go to Qingzhou tomorrow to have some fun. How about that?"
At this time, Queen Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, are all the concubines together?"
she asked, pointing at everyone.
These concubines were numerous.
There are over a hundred people favored alone.
It is indeed not easy if we all go out together.
Li Shimin seemed to realize this, but because Li Min said he would give him three carriages, these people could afford it.
So, he said, "Yes!"
"How to get there?" Queen Changsun asked again.
"Let's go by train tomorrow!"
Train? What it is?
Everyone has never heard of such a name.
Concubine Yang asked at this time: "Your Majesty, what is a train? I have never heard of this name."
"That's a new car from the Shengtang Group. You'll know when you go there tomorrow. As for whether the Queen said it can seat so many people, it's definitely possible. It's just like a train. One carriage can seat many people. And this time I have three carriages to sit in on the high-speed train!"
Everyone understood, it turned out to be like this.
"So, early tomorrow morning. Let's take the train to Qingzhou. Have fun! We'll come back the same day!"
"It's your Majesty!"
Everyone was very happy, especially some concubines who were not favored, they were even happier.
Throughout the year, these people rarely get to spend time with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is usually too busy to spend a wonderful evening with everyone. But now Li Shimin takes the initiative to ask everyone to come together, that is his favor.
So everyone showed a very happy expression.
At this time, Empress Changsun asked again: "Your Majesty, what exactly is this train? What advantages does it have over a train?"
When asked here, Li Shimin suddenly didn't know what to say.
He had no choice but to look at Fang Xuanling.
"Let Fang Xuanling speak. He understands better. He knows more."
Fortunately, Fang Xuanling prepared some knowledge in advance.
Li Shimin also meant to let Fang Xuanling speak.
Therefore, Fang Xuanlingzi said: "It can be divided into three main points. The first point is that the speed of the train is very fast. Calculated now, it may take more than an hour for us to go to Qingzhou. If we take the train, it may take two hours.
It is fast and can very effectively shorten travel time, improve travel efficiency, and make it easier to arrange time.
And according to Shengtang Group, its shortcomings are also very obvious.
Because it requires more energy and more advanced railway facilities. Therefore, the construction and operating costs will be higher. But according to them, these operating costs are nothing compared to economic development!”
When Fang Xuanling said this. Everyone couldn't help but nodded.
At this time someone asked: "What about the second point?"
"Second point, as far as I know, the interior of the train is very modern. The seats are very comfortable, and it is also equipped with air conditioning and other household equipment. Compared with the train, it is not only a little more advanced. In other words, the train can provide A more comfortable travel environment. Meet everyone’s requirements for comfort.”
Everyone felt very magical when they heard this.
"I really can't believe that Shengtang Group can actually do this."
"Yes, Shengtang Group is developing very fast now."
At this time, Empress Changsun asked: "What is the third point?"
"Third point, because it is fast enough, there are more trains available every day. In the past, trains might only run two or three times a day, but as long as the train is close, it can run more than 20 times a day. . In other words, you can leave at any time. It will not be like before. If you miss it, you may have to wait for half a day or even a day."
Listen to Fang Xuanling say this. Everyone suddenly realized.
"Let's put it this way. This train is really wonderful. I can't wait to get on the train. Let's see what's going on inside!"
Queen Changsun said so.
In fact, it's not just her, other people think the same way, especially Li Shimin.
He really wanted to know whether the feeling of sitting on this train was as comfortable as Fang Xuanling said.
"The above are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the bullet train. In fact, Shengtang Group also provided some paper materials. Your Majesty, would you like to take a look?" Fang Xuanling said again.
"Of course I want to see it, bring it over and let me see it."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
So Fang Xuanling handed the materials to Li Shimin.
After Li Shimin looked at it, he became a little shocked.
Queen Changsun who was beside him also saw clearly what was written inside.
"This bullet train has more than three advantages, and more!" Li Shimin said.
"Yes, in addition to the few advantages and disadvantages mentioned by Fang Xuanling just now, I didn't expect that the high-speed train has so many advantages." Empress Changsun said.
The concubines, who did not see the advantages of this, were very curious.
They all asked: “What other advantages are there?”
"tell me the story?"
“Are there really so many benefits to an EMU?”
Empress Changsun took the paper and continued, "Let me tell you what I want to say."
"yes!"
"The first point is to save energy. Compared with airplanes and cars, trains can carry a large number of passengers at one time. By sharing resources, each passenger consumes less energy than cars and airplanes. Now it is as difficult as developing resources. If it can be saved a little, the same energy can bring Datang's economy to a higher level and support economic development.
In addition, train transportation plays a very positive role in the economic development of various regions. It can connect different cities and regions, facilitate the flow of energy, flow of goods, enhance trade and physiological activities.
In this regard, the EMU is strengthened on the basis of the train.
Another point is that the safety is very high compared to other means of transportation. The safety of EMUs has improved again because the track design is stable. And there is only one train running on one track.
It is not like cars, where there are many cars driving on a road.
Therefore, its safety performance is relatively high. Another point. You can enjoy the scenery along the way by taking the train. Saves you the fatigue of driving.
It also says that the glass of the train is larger than that of the train. Sitting in the train and looking at the scenery outside, it feels like you are in nature. Having said that, I want to go and see it. I want to go and see it today. "
Queen Changsun said a lot.
Everyone had the same idea as her.
"Yes, so I decided to take the high-speed train to Qingzhou tomorrow, and enjoy the scenery along the way. Of course, I haven't taken you out for a long time, so I just took this time to go out and have some fun, and also have some knowledge about the high-speed train. I hope you can put forward some comments and feedback so that Shengtang Group can improve.
Their improvements can further advance the development of EMUs. "
After hearing what Li Shimin said, everyone couldn't wait to go and see it.
"Your Majesty, I wish that tomorrow would come soon!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I really hope to have a wonderful journey."
"Your Majesty, is it possible to leave on the same day and return on the same day?"
"Your Majesty, can you stay a few more days? I remember that Her Royal Highness the Princess had a mansion in Qingzhou. We can go there and play!"
"Agreed, it would be great to go there."
…
Everyone was talking about it, and Li Shimin couldn't even reply.
Finally, he said: "Please prepare some changes of clothes tomorrow. Maybe we can stay in Qingzhou for a day."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone is very happy. This is great. It is really wonderful to be able to stay outside for one night.
