Due to the stature of the ancient people, a row of five seats on Earth has been changed to a row of four, and the depth of the seats has also increased a bit. Therefore, the size of the compartment of Earth Manned 118 can only carry 80 people.
Similarly, the number of passengers in hard sleeper compartments is also greatly reduced.
Nevertheless, the emergence of the train has also had a huge impact on the transportation and travel in this world.
And with the promotion of Ren Baqian, the trains and various means of transportation in this world will be extended to the entire land of Dayao at a speed several times, dozens of times higher than in the previous life.
A train track, by increasing the diversion of rails at the transfer station, for example, there is only one rail from point a to point c, but two rails are set up at point b, so that the round-trip trains can cross at point b.
This is also the method often used on Earth.
In this way, there can be up to eight trains on the route from Lancheng to Pingdu.
If only cargo is shipped, it means that the daily cargo volume reaches more than 10 million catties.
In this era, it can be said to be astronomical.
However, with the existence of tractors and trucks, the current requirement for carrying capacity is not so great, so Ren Baqian estimates that there will be a total of four round-trip trains per day, each of which is half loaded with passengers and half loaded with cargo.
In other words, there are two trains departing from Lancheng or Pingdu every day.
This carrying capacity can be said to be sufficient for several years.
After all, the Izumo people or the ancient people do not have the habit of visiting or traveling in another area, so there will be no transportation peaks like the earth.
After all, all the people who come and go are chambers of commerce, as well as a small number of scholars and officials with official duties.
Ordinary people in this world can hardly leave their homes for hundreds of miles in their entire lives.
In the next few years, when many people have become accustomed to traveling by train, it is possible to gradually increase the number of trains.
The next new railway plan is from Pingdu to Wangjing, and from Lancheng to Liuwandashan.
The laying of these two railways takes five years.
In this way, traffic from the east to the midwest and from the south to the north can be fully penetrated.
After that, it was from Lancheng to the Northern Protectorate and the Southeast Protectorate.
In this way, Lancheng became Dayao's only transportation hub.
As for the location of the new city, it is more than 200 miles away from Lancheng, and it only takes two hours by train. It will be the political center of Dayao.
…
"These people... are they the Empress? Why did the Empress come here?" Standing behind the crowd, Cao Gui looked at the team from far to near, and saw that the pupils of the visitors shrank.
Although he had never seen the empress herself, he had seen a portrait of the empress.
And even if you haven't seen the portrait, you can guess his identity just by looking at his posture and demeanor, and Zi Donglai's posture following behind him.
"Do you want to go back and inform the dean?" A student from Xiaojiang Academy asked.
"What's the use of notifying now? Let's take a look first." Cao Gui didn't turn his head and said, his eyes stayed on the Empress for a moment, and then moved into the crowd.
"That's Prince Zhao, right? It's so shiny, just like in the legend."
"These people... seem to be god-level masters? It's terrifying! In terms of high-end force, the imperial court is really terrifying! Whether it's the original imperial court, Chen Guo, or Daxia, they can't compare with it at all."
"Who are these people? They don't look very old... What a beautiful woman! Tsk tsk, she looks so young, but her strength is even stronger than mine, it's scary!"
"Following are the city lords of Yujiang and Liangcheng?"
"There are also Guzang, Zhongqing, and Xu'an city lords... they are all nearby city lords. It seems that they knew that the emperor would come." Ma Hualong pointed out a few people beside him and said.
"What do you think?" Cao Gui asked softly.
"Since these city lords are here, the empress should not go to other cities. It is very likely that she will go to Lancheng with us. Those god-level masters are all ministers of the court, right? Empress, Prince Zhao and so many ministers Coming here, there must be something important, it may be a major event involving the entire Izumo."
After the team left, Cao Gui pulled Ma Hualong back and said, "Go, let's go back."
Not only Cao Gui and other students from Xiaojiang Academy were watching this team, but also students from Zhitai, Wangjing, Jiangling and many other academies.
No one expected that when they met in Pingdu and went to Lancheng, the emperor would suddenly come to Pingdu, bringing with him the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
This made everyone guess after they went back.
…
"No matter what their intentions are, we are not able to participate now. Our goal this time is still the same as before, to overwhelm other academies in the exchange." A person in the inn where Jiangling Academy stayed said. "Only when we enter the court, will we have the opportunity to speak out!"
"Brother Huining said, don't be distracted at this time." Another person also said.
Everyone nodded.
…
And at the foothold of Wangjing Academy, five people sat together.
"If we overwhelm the other academies, sweep the face of that Zizhu Academy, and then refuse the court's invitation, they must have a pretty face." A scholar had a strange smile on his face.
"That's right, when we came, we were ready to sacrifice our lives for benevolence. If they really became angry and slaughtered the students who went to Lancheng, then the people of the world, those who live in a corner, can see the faces of these barbarians clearly , Their previous method of being gentle has also become a joke.
You know, we were invited by them.
If they want to subdue Shilin, if they hold back their breath, then we must be the heroes of Shilin! Another student with a pair of reptile eyes glanced at the few people in front of him, and said sentence by sentence. There was piercing hatred in his eyes.
If he becomes a hero of Shilin, no matter what the Great Yao court wants in the future, he must take Shilin's reaction into account.
From ancient times to the present, the pens of literati have never been offended!
The other three were silent when they heard the words, playing with the wine glasses in their hands.
"Why, the three of you haven't made up your mind yet? Don't forget that we study many classics, how can we easily turn to those barbarians?"
"Brother Tu Jie, Tu Gong, the lord of Wenshi City, died under the swords of those barbarians. If you stay in the academy, I won't say anything else. But since you are here, are you going to do something for the murder of your father and your enemy?"
One of the three of them crushed the wine glass with a livid face.
…
Zhitai Academy: The student from Xiaojiang Academy today is so handsome, is Xiao Nizi excited
Accompanying the voice was a series of silver bell-like laughter and playful sounds.
…
The next morning, many academies with various thoughts left Pingdu, and led by soldiers to a wasteland outside the city.
"Look, people from Wangjing Academy, Jiangling Academy, Baiquan Academy, and Fenghu Academy... this time the five academies are all together." Cao Gui bumped Ma Hualong's shoulder as a gesture.
"The thing that surprised me the most was that those old-fashioned guys from Wangjing Academy would come." Ma Hualong glanced at it, wondering.
When they look at others, others are looking at them.
Among them, there are only seven students in Wangjing Academy, fifteen in General Academy, thirteen in Baiquan Academy, and twenty students in Fenghu Academy, just like Xiaojiang Academy.
In addition, there are many other academies. At a glance, all the famous academies in Izumo are here.
And in front of them, on a piece of flat land outside Pingdu City, there was an extra row of buildings at some point.
At first, a two-story pavilion was more than ten feet wide, and the words "Pingdu Railway Station" were written on the top.
On both sides of the pavilion is a row of walls, which tightly block the inside.
"What is a train?" Everyone had this doubt again.
Heard it once yesterday, and saw the name again now.
