Chapter 311 The Train Starts 2

After a while, everyone finally walked into the fire carriage. The carriage where Liu Xia was located was highly confidential. No one outside knew which carriage Liu Xia would take.

Under the guidance of Luo Chengxian, Liu Xia walked into the No. 3 car. The decoration of the No. 3 car is different from other cars. The other cars are ordinary seats, but this No. 3 car has tables and chairs, just like a small office.

The interior is all made of wood, carved with exquisite patterns and painted with a layer of bright black. The seat was very comfortable. Bian Yujing, the carrier of Liu Xia, walked to his seat. Opposite Liu Xia were rows of seats, and there were rows of seats behind. Liu Xia was protected in the middle. Regardless of the front and back, the closest row to Liu Xia was the soldiers of the guard. Then there were the representatives invited by Liu Xia. And those ministers.

More than 600 people slowly got on the train. At this time, hundreds of bodyguards came up with refreshments. Now it's June, and the weather is slightly hot, so Luo Chengxian put a lot of ice cubes at the railway station. Because the glass technology is very mature, this train is decorated with glass. Unlike the previous train, the glass used in this train can see the outside from the inside, but the inside can't be seen from the outside. This is also to protect Liu Xia's safety and not let people outside know which carriage Liu Xia is in.

With ice cooling, all six carriages become cool, which makes many people can't help moaning comfortably.

"It's so comfortable! I just don't know how the train runs.

An official lay on a chair made of bamboo and said comfortably. It's hot now, so Luo Chengxian spread a layer of bamboo on the original cotton chair.

Luo Chengxian walked to Liu Xia's side, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, now the personnel have arrived. Do you want to start the train?"

Liu Xia said, "Go ahead. Let me see how the train is."

"Yes." After saying that, Luo Chengxian let a guard next to him go to the position of the locomotive and notify the driver and let him drive the train.

After a while, only a whistle sounded, and the train began to move slowly.

"Look! The train is gone!" A businessman representative pointed outside and exclaimed.

In fact, he doesn't need to say it. Everyone knows that most people now look out and the train moves. Naturally, they know it.

After a while, the train left the railway station. As soon as it came out of the station, people outside the railway station could see the train.

"The prince is in that train. I really don't know what it's like. I really want to try it."

"Drive!" At this time, many ordinary merchants spontaneously rode the horses in their homes and began to follow the train all the way.

This suddenly became a beautiful scenery along the line.

The people living on both sides along the way watched the train fly by in front of their eyes. They were not surprised. When the Institute of Science and Technology tested the train before, they often came to see it, but they watched too much. At the beginning, it was a new picture, and it would be boring to read more slowly.

They don't know that this train is very different from the last time.

"Mom, look, another monster is coming."

A six- or seven-year-old child pointed to the train that was about to fly by with a smile and shouted to a farmer on the farmland next to him.

"That's not a monster. I heard that it's called a train. It can take people." The farmer did it on the ground and pointed to the train in the distance to explain to the children next to her. In fact, she didn't know too much about the train, which she heard from other people.

"Mom, why does he still smoke?" The child pointed curiously to the thick black smoke on the locomotive and asked.

The peasant woman was stunned for a moment, because she didn't know why the train was smoking, which was not what she could understand.

"That's the train gasping tiredly."

"Then why are you gasping so much?"

"If you run fast, you will gasp. Well, let's go home. When your father comes back, it's time to shout that he's going to be hungry again.

The train sped by.

In the carriage, Liu Xia and Bian Yujing sat together. At this moment, the representatives opposite were chatting happily.

Many people look at the scenery outside, look at the scenery passing by, and are more and more interested in this train.

"This train is really comfortable and not bumpy at all. If you take a carriage on this road, you will definitely have a sore backache all over your body. I didn't expect this train to be so smooth. It would be great if every state capital was connected to the train, so that you can take the train when you go out for inspection. You don't have to be so tired. An official said with a smile.

Luo Chengxian heard the words and smiled. After all, what he made has been recognized by others. How can this not make him feel comfortable?

Nowadays, technology is still in its infancy, and the radio has not yet been born, so the train cannot be driven casually, and there is a possibility of collision. Therefore, the position of each train must be strictly controlled at every moment.

"It will definitely lead to various state capitals in the future, but take your time. Nowadays, steel production is insufficient, and it is difficult to lay railways on a large scale."

"Your Majesty, the railway is fragile and easy to be destroyed. Once destroyed, if the train does not know, it is likely to derail and overturn. This--" Luo Chengxian said his concern.

After all, it is a time of war. It is hard to guarantee that the scouts who have no place run to their own territory to destroy the train lane.

"Yes, you are right. The train lane must be closely protected. A protective station must be set up every other distance and send soldiers to guard it.

Luo Chengxian is now the head of the railway company. He has the most say about the train. He only heard him say, "What the prince said is right, but I don't know where the soldiers of this protective station should belong--"

The railway company should be regarded as a commercial organization, but after all, it is a war-tattled era, and it is inevitable that there will be some special events, so at present, it cannot be directly attributed to civil affairs, and now it should also be mixed with some military and political institutions.

"I plan to set up a railway department, which is responsible for the construction, operation and research and development of the railway. The personnel of the railway department are under the responsibility of the logistics department. The protection station is also managed by the logistics department and the railway department. The soldiers of the protection station are transferred from the logistics department. As for the rest, the Railway Department is responsible. At the same time, a train search is set up on the train, which is the responsibility of the Investigrator and the Railway Department.

Now the rights of the Railway Department are divided into three parts, which are dominated by the Logistics Department, the Investigation Department and the Railway Department respectively. This is also a compromise method of Liu Xiaxiang. When the world is unified and the politics is clear, the rights of the Railway Department can be returned to the Railway Department.

"As for the general director of the railway department, you will serve as Chengxian for the time being. As for the merger of the railway company into the railway department, it will become a department to manage the income of railway operation."

After saying this, Liu Xia turned her head and looked at Li Fengyun's widowed wife. Li Fengyun was the captain who led a brigade to die rather than give in the battle of Hu Prison Pass. After that, Liu Xia personally awarded Li Fengyun's brigade the highest honor in the pro-guard brigade, and was renamed Fengyun Brigade. After Liu Xia returned to Luoyang, he even went to Li Fengyun's home in person to visit his wife.

At that time, Li Fengyun's wife was pregnant. Now the child is four or five years old. At this moment, he is waiting in Li Fengyun's wife's arms to look out of the window with dark eyes curiously.

Li Fengyun's wife is not very old and still very young. Someone in the family also urged her to get married again, but she was reluctant. Fortunately, Liu Xia will give them a certain subsidy every month, otherwise she really doesn't know how to live with a child.

The train ran today, and she was invited again. Come here. Li Fengyun's deeds have been spread everywhere. In order to make the soldiers fight bravely, Liu Xia publicized and exaggerated his deeds. At this moment, you can see an article about Li Fengyun in colleges in all prefectures and states. This article was written by Liu Xia herself.

"How has your sister-in-law been these years? Are there any officials who have the right to bully you? How is the security there? Liu Xia asked him.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern. The woman has been doing well over the years. If it hadn't been for the prince's silver coins every month, I'm afraid that our orphans and widows would not have been able to live long ago. The prince is kind to both our mother and son.
