    "What's going on over there?" In addition to the ministers, many people gathered at the track station outside Chunmingmen today to watch the excitement, including the food scholar Abdoure.  He has been in Chang'an for more than a month, but he has never been able to find a way to study at the Imperial Academy. Later, with the help of a big food businessman, he thought of looking for Wei Jiansu, the second prime minister.  While waiting for news from Wei Jiansu, he also paid attention to the capital of the Tang Dynasty.  On the way north, he visited many cities of the Tang Dynasty, including Quanzhou, which has always been an important port, the emerging Huating, Dengzhou, one of the most important ports in the north, and Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. He initially took a boat, but  Later, it was switched to track tracks. Thanks to the track tracks extending in all directions in the Tang Dynasty, he was able to reach Chang'an in the shortest time.  Therefore, he was very interested in the track, and he heard that there was a special ceremony here today, so he mingled with the people to watch the fun.  He saw that the team that was originally lined up neatly and prepared to board the special iron-headed track car suddenly became a little chaotic, and there seemed to be a dispute.  "It's the Silla people and the Japanese who are quarreling. They always love to quarrel." Some people were not surprised and said with their hands on their hands.  There were many envoys from Silla and Japan to the Tang Dynasty and students studying abroad in Chang'an City. In the past few days, Abdoure had seen them and knew that they could study in the Imperial College, which made Abdoure full of envy and jealousy.  He used this as the reason when he applied to Wei Jiansu.  Therefore, when he heard the dispute between Silla and the Japanese, he felt a little happy for some reason.  But the conflict did not last long, and then I saw several people being kicked out of the queue. Those people looked ugly. Abdouge asked curiously: "What's going on?" "The imperial court violated the foreign affairs etiquette of Japanese envoys.  He was expelled from the crowd of spectators and ordered to return to his country, and the leader of his country was ordered to change his envoy." Someone who understood the negotiation process between the two parties said with a smile.  "Is this the imperial court preparing to attack Japan?" A businessman next to him suddenly shouted: "Then I have to buy stocks quickly." Stocks are not a new thing for the people of the Tang Dynasty. They were discussed as early as when Ye Chang organized the Andong Chamber of Commerce.  It has already appeared, but the listed stocks are still relatively new, originating from last year's war against Silla.  After that war ended, the value of the chambers of commerce that had originally subscribed to the conquest bonds issued by the imperial court had almost doubled - everyone knew that the goods of these chambers of commerce would be unimpeded in Silla in the future.  "The Japanese are seeking their own death." Someone whispered: "Our Highness, King Wei, can't help but dare to cause such an incident on King Wei's happy day." "What do you know? Just don't cause such an incident."  Aren't we going to stop attacking Japan? A few days ago, I heard from the leader of the Guangling Chamber of Commerce that Japan is rich in gold and silver, but it strictly restricts the entry of goods from the Tang Dynasty, and has repeatedly allowed soldiers to exploit the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty.  Being plundered and killed by them was unbearable. Originally, King Wei wanted to clean up the Bohai Kingdom first, but after seeing the situation in Silla, the leader of the Bohai Kingdom petitioned to open the market for trade. Now it is natural.  We are going to pick up the Japanese." These whispers reached Abdulge's ears. Abdulge found it strange that these Tang people were not very enthusiastic about religion. No matter what religion they believed in, except for full-time monks,  Very few people are immersed in the world of religion all day long.  But the Chinese people have two hobbies, which make them more fanatical than religion. One is learning. Their queen and prime minister attach great importance to education and treat it as a national event. In various places in the Tang Dynasty, now  They are all studying in school, and those with a little bit of talent in the Tang Dynasty will study hard.  The other is to participate in politics. In any corner of the Tang Dynasty, people who have nothing to do will always talk, evaluate a certain policy, or discuss something that happened recently.  "They value this world and ignore the afterlife. They value reality and despise the Kingdom of God No, this evaluation is not correct. They also attach great importance to the afterlife. For example, no matter what their faith, they advise people to cultivate more merit, and they  When worshiping the ancestors in the Kingdom of Heaven, they are always very respectful and pious The people of this country are really strange contradictions. "Abduge was thinking about how to evaluate the Tang people. Fujiwara Shinkachi, who was expelled from the team, looked defeated.  Confused.  He was sent to the Tang Dynasty as the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty. Unlike the previous envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty now took the ship of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to reach the Tang Dynasty from Japan. It only took a few days. With good luck,  In some cases, even five days will do.  Therefore, as the ruler of Japan, Fujiwara Nakamaru sent his beloved son as an envoy.  First, this mission is of great importance, and only his son can rest assured. Second, it is to accumulate some qualifications for this son and prepare for further advancement in the future.  "There are three things you must pay attention to during your trip to the Tang Dynasty. You must do it well. The first is to test the intentions of the Tang Dynasty. I want to attack Silla and share its wealth. I have secretly ordered all countries to build warships, but Silla  It is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty has conquered it before, I don¡¯t know if I am allowed to get a share of the pie. The second is to learn.?The Tang Dynasty's code-making skills have a vast network of spokes and talents are emerging in an endless stream. Today's prime minister, King Wei, is even more talented and wiser than in the past. If we study the rules and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, we must also learn the skills of the Tang Dynasty.  Three Now the emperor in the court is quite dissatisfied with me. Although he hides it, I know it. If it can be recognized by the Tang Dynasty, the emperor will have no choice but to continue to hide it.  These three matters are all of great importance, and you must do them well." It must be said that Japanese politicians are consistent in their self-righteousness. Fujiwara Nakamaro is no different from Japanese politicians more than 1,300 years later. On the one hand, he wants to seek gain  The interests of the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, they also fantasize about gaining the support of the Tang Dynasty. These ambiguous contradictions are due to their national character and are almost integrated into their genes. Therefore, anyone who thinks that they can influence Japan will not be able to change in a short time.  The so-called new thinking is either the conjecture of the ignorant, or it is a traitor who has taken advantage of Japan. It was Fujiwara Nakamaro's confession that Fujiwara Shinkachi took the opportunity to test. He originally thought that such disputes had often occurred before.  When the incident happened, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty usually mediated the matter, but never thought of reporting the matter to Ye Chang. King Wei, who was called by his father to be a genius and wise man, directly ordered him and his followers to be expelled from the country.  Tang didn't even give him a chance to meet him and listen to his explanation. "Go quickly, go quickly." Just when Fujiwara Shinagachi looked at a loss, the imperial army behind him was already urging him. According to King Wei, this guy was already there.  As an "undesirable" person, he was ordered to leave Chang'an within three days, and was sent to Beihai under the supervision of a sergeant, where he took a boat to leave the Tang Dynasty. For the Forbidden Army, there was no need to deal with those who angered King Wei.  He was as rude as he could be polite. Fujiwara Shinkachi wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "Sir, please slow down a moment. I have something to ask the King of Wei, and maybe I can save it"  ¡­¡± ¡°King Wei has always kept his word. If you are expelled, you will be expelled. Even if you want to see King Wei, you have to wait for another envoy to talk about the small island country. Whatever the Tang Dynasty arranges for you to do, you will do it.  Do it honestly, but you have some evil ideas, and you are playing petty tricks on us, China. Is it just that now is the last time?  "The Forbidden Military Colonel sneered twice, and raised the knife in his hand: "Let's go, don't delay." The Japanese who were showing off their interest were driven away, and there were boos and boos all around. Abdouge also felt happy to see it, but he  His attention was quickly attracted by what was happening on the other side of the train. The bell rang on the train. No matter when or where the bell sounded, it reminded people to pay attention. Therefore, in the small square in front of the station.  The people who were talking were all silent. Shou'an, Ye Chang and others had already boarded the train. This original train had eight carriages. The first carriage was occupied by the Imperial Army, while Shou'an, Ye Chang and others were riding in it.  Located in the second section, and further behind are the ministers, relatives and foreign envoys. The body is made of hardwood frame with wooden boards and velvet cloth, and push-up glass windows are installed. At this time, the windows are opened, and those sitting inside are.  People looked out curiously, and people outside also looked inside the car curiously. ¡°Is there any problem?  "Shou'an asked Ye Chang in the car. "There should be no problem.  "Ye Chang was also a little worried. He shook his head and said, "The horse-drawn track train has a limited capacity and cannot go very fast. It takes most of a day to reach the Hot Spring Palace.  The trains pulled by this powerful locomotive can carry several times or even dozens of times the load, and the speed is also faster.  Sho'an, think about it, if such a track train could reach every strategic place in the Tang Dynasty, starting from Chang'an, it would only take no more than seven days to reach any prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty. By then, the imperial court would  Not only is it difficult to issue government orders, but your wealth can also be circulated with the help of this car.  In the past, the imperial concubine liked to eat lychees, but with all the efforts of the country, the imperial court could only offer lychees to her. By then, all the people in Chang'an would be able to eat lychees." He used lychees as a metaphor, and Shou'an took it seriously.  In fact, not all the lychees Yang Yuhuan eats are grown in Lingnan, but many come from Fuzhou. Even so, it is not easy for the people of Chang'an to eat fresh lychees. Fortunately, saltpeter is used to make ice in recent years.  The method of freezing has spread, so rich families can use this method to eat some expensive lychees. What limits their sales is not the output, but transportation. In this era, transportation is not smooth, and there are too many good things hidden in it.  The place of origin is not allowed to be transferred out, and it ends up being wasted. ¡°Shiyilang, you are a foodie.  "Ye Chang mentioned lychees, and his two children both clamored to eat lychees, especially his daughter who had just learned to speak and called out "Zhi Zhi, Zhi Zhi" in a babyish voice, which made Shou'an roll his eyes at him, and then said  He held his daughter in his arms: "Don't make the children greedy." "It's better to be greedy. If you are not greedy, you will not grow strong." Ye Chang said with a smile. At this moment, a man in uniform arrived at him.  After taking the carriage, he saluted him and Shou'an: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, everything is ready. The boiler has been burned. Please give instructions, Your Majesty and Your Highness." Ye Chang smiled and gestured to Shou'an. When giving orders like this, Shou'an usually  Coming forward is the division of labor between husband and wife. Shouan does not care about specific matters, but it is the highest etiquette.She is still the person.  "Let's begin." Shou'an held the little princess on his lap and waved.  The man saluted again and turned to leave. At this time, people outside had seen thick white smoke coming out of the head of the locomotive. At first, people exclaimed that it was on fire, but some people with rich imagination said: "That is not a fire."  "This is an iron dragon. That's the dragon's nose over there. It's breathing clouds and mist." No matter what they thought, the onlookers soon discovered that the iron car shook violently, and then the bell rang again.  Start moving forward slowly.  This first trial run of the train was extremely shocking to the people in Chang'an City.  When they saw the iron car without horses, oxen or human power, dragging eight long carriages, slowly drove out of Chang'an East Station, and then ran towards the east, they let out an earth-shattering cry, the sound was so loud,  For a time, the rumble of the train was almost suppressed.  Abdouge watched in horror as the steel monster roared forward. He was even more shocked than the residents of Chang'an.  The residents of Chang'an have seen a lot of new things in recent years, and they are somewhat familiar with it, but this is the first time for Abdouge to see an epoch-making invention appear before his eyes.  "This sage, the true God, am I hallucinating, or am I seeing the devil How is this possible? Even if King Solomon is reincarnated, he will not have such power. Even if there is a djinn in the desert, it is impossible.  To conjure something like this" Abdulge's faith was originally very firm. Although after coming to the Tang Dynasty, in order to pursue knowledge, he obeyed the hadith and did some things that conflicted with his own beliefs, but he  Deep down in his heart, he still had a condescending mentality of "those with scriptures" looking at the "non-scriptures" of the Tang Dynasty, but at this moment, he felt that the true god he believed in was not as good as the Tang Dynasty.  The "God" he believed in, and his ancestor, was thousands of miles away from Ye Chang.  At least the sage, apart from boasting, did not bring such a "divine object" to their cannibals. Because it was the first time to run on a track other than the test track, the train did not run fast, and the speed per hour was  It's about twenty miles, which is much slower than galloping on horseback, but it can last for a long time. From Chang'an to Lishan, the distance of more than sixty miles can be reached in one and a half hours. They set off in the morning and arrived at Lishan in time.  On the way to have lunch, the accompanying ministers and nobles were all shocked. "Your Majesty, Your Highness" Wei Jiansu ignored the etiquette and got out of the car. He came to Ye Chang, bowed deeply, and performed a dance.  The great ceremony was abolished by Ye Changming's order. "Wei Gong, what are you doing?" Ye Chang asked him hurriedly. "His Highness is truly a man of God. Your Majesty is indeed a man of heaven." Wei Jiansu said in one sentence.  The two flattered each other, and then said: "This train is a sharp weapon for the military and the country. If your highness gets it, our country and the Tang Dynasty will be safe forever." He does not lack knowledge, but lacks some courage. When he was in the car, he looked at some  Relevant information. Ye Chang likes to use data to talk about the information. For example, the information on the train has clear data on the speed and load of the train. It was these data that made Wei Jiansu realize.  Why does Ye Chang attach so much importance to trains? "The Tang Dynasty is changing rapidly. You and I are lucky to be born at this time. This is the beginning of the world. If you help me and King Wei, why not worry about becoming famous in history, and why not worry about not being rich.  Baishi?  "Seeing the ministers and relatives coming forward one after another, all of them looking horrified, Shou'an said slowly. Ye Chang smiled slightly: The expedition to Silla showed the power of firearms, and today the train shows the power of technology again  , From now on, everyone in the imperial court truly agrees with him, and all the innovative measures he has prepared can be implemented in a drastic way.
