The train entered the station with a slight surprise and steadily stopped on the platform with everyone's surprise and shock.

People generally have feelings of fear and worship for huge things.

The biggest and moving object that everyone sees in life is probably a sailboat.

However, people already have enough understanding of sailing, but not trains.

Previously, he saw the biggest giant on land, probably a carriage. Now a giant with more than ten carriages was parked in front of him, and the other person was very shocked.

At this time, the turbulent crowd saw that the train was still and saw that His Majesty the Emperor was still, so they gradually calmed down and gathered behind His Majesty the Emperor, staring at the train curiously.

Everyone was shocked. How did more than ten carriages be pulled?

Everyone present is considered elites of the Ganchao, but no one has seen such a large object that can move on its own. It is really shocking.

At this time, Gao Huan smiled and said, "This is the train, driven by coal burning, that is, as long as there is coal, he can speed on the railway. It does not require eating, drinking, or rest. It runs on the road in twelve hours a day, and it takes nearly a thousand miles to arrive in three days, which is faster than the cavalry..."

Gao Huan personally introduced that if he hadn't seen the real thing, everyone wouldn't believe it at all, but now the train is in front of them, forcing everyone to believe it.

"You are all talented people who work hard. I believe you have realized the economic and military value of trains!"

The economic development of Jiangnan is due to the Yangtze River, Huai'an appears along the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, and bustling cities like Linqing are also due to convenient transportation.

Everyone immediately realized that trains and railways were equivalent to a canal, and it was more efficient than that.

All the people present were smart people. After seeing the railways and trains, the officials of the court realized that they might play a huge role in national governance.

For a great empire, the biggest difficulty in ruling is that the territory is too large and it is beyond reach for the border areas.

Today's governance system and governance technology have limited the territory of the empire. With trains and railways, the connection between the frontier and the core area of ​​the empire will definitely be strengthened.

It turns out that what happened on the border may take several months to react. When the army sent it over, the place would have been decayed.

If a train can transport coal, it can transport people and materials. After establishing a railway network, the army can only drive over for a few days, which will directly improve the governance capabilities of the court and expand the government's governance boundaries.

The banks and chambers of commerce saw the role of railways in commercial and economic terms.

Now, the business in China is mainly developed along the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal. Many provinces are not close to the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, and transportation is very inconvenient.

Now trains and railways can transport coal from Shanxi, so specialties and materials from other provinces can also be transported by train.

"Your Majesty, how much coal does this train transport, how much consumption is consumed along the way, and how much does it cost?" The representatives of each bank account immediately began to ask their most concerned questions.

Their work is all day long to investigate various workshops and local economies, obtain information and analyze them, and then decide whether to make a loan or invest.

The appearance of trains shocked them, broke their cognition, and made them eager to know whether trains and railways could bring economic value.

"You will know how much coal you transported when you unload it. As for how much consumption and how much it costs along the way, you have to ask professionals."

Gao Huan explained with a smile, and the train door had been opened at this time, and Song Yingxing and others came out in a row.

"Smacking"

Gao Huan took the lead in applauding, and the military band behind him immediately played the song of triumphant.

Thunderous applause sounded from the station, and Song Yingxing and his group made up for the treatment they did not receive in Shanxi.

Gao Huan was quite happy to see the train arrive safely. He knew that with the rotation of the steam locomotive, a new era had arrived.

Human society has struggled in agricultural civilization for thousands of years, and the Central Plains dynasty has gone through several cycles of reincarnation and is finally about to break the shackles and enter a new era.

"Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission and complete the task on time."

Song Yingxing waited to get off the train and saluted Gao Huan. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles and excitement.

Gao Huan stepped forward and held his hand and shook it hard, "Your dear has made great contributions."

Gao Huan turned around, faced the crowd with Song Yingxing, and laughed loudly: "Now everyone wants to know about the train, I'll tell you something."

"Director Song, when will the train depart from Shanxi and how many days will it take to arrive in Tianjin?"

"Director Song, does the train only need to burn coal, and does not need to rest? In addition, how much coal does the train burn along the way, is the cost lower than that of a horse-drawn train?"

Everyone in the crowd rushed to ask questions, eager to find out the details of the train's transportation.

"Everyone! The train departs from Jingxing Station in Shanxi on the 25th night. It takes only three days to arrive on the road." Song Yingxing waved excitedly: "In addition, in addition to burning coal, the train also needs to add water. Generally, there is no need to rest on the road. Only when you arrive at the station to replenish water, it will stop for a while. As for the cost of train transportation, the courtyard initially estimates that only one-thirty of the train is pulled by horse."

Everyone was so surprised that they took a breath of cold air when they heard the words, and the scene immediately became more enthusiastic.

"Everyone, after this transportation, the court will hold a press conference to introduce the train transportation situation and data in detail to everyone." Seeing that people were too enthusiastic and asked them to ask, they probably couldn't finish talking about it dark, so they smiled and said, "Director Song is tired too. I have asked someone to prepare a banquet. Everyone should celebrate the merits for President Song first, and then let them rest. At the press conference another day, if you have any questions, President Song will answer them together."

At this time, the four-wheeled carriage prepared by the government had already stopped outside the station. Gao Huan immediately led a group of people into the car and left and went to the best restaurant in Tianjin.

However, many people stayed at the station, watching the workers appear on the platform, picked up shovels and climbed onto the car, put the coal inside into the bucket, and then lifted it out of the car with levers and pulleys.

The workers moved quickly, and within a day, the coal was unloaded from the train. Looking at the mountains of coal, everyone completely believed in the ability to transport trains.

Among these people who stayed to observe were reporters from various newspapers, representatives from chambers of commerce and consortiums.

The spring river water warms the duck prophet, the people from various chambers of commerce and consortiums, immediately realized the wealth and benefits that trains and railways would bring.

In fact, not long ago, after someone in the court learned about the general situation of the train, he conveyed to some chambers of commerce and wealthy people that he could buy the Shanxi coal mines at the bottom.

However, at that time, major chambers of commerce and rich people were not interested in this. They realized that Shanxi had no investment value anymore. They invested in Shanxi coal mines and threw firecrackers into the pit, purely seeking death.

Now that they saw the train running, they broke their original perception, many people immediately realized the opportunity to get rich.

Therefore, everyone could not wait to announce the detailed data at the press conference, so they collected large amounts of silver dollars and silver notes on the silver number in Tianjin overnight, and hurried to Shanxi to buy coal mines.

Everyone was thinking about taking advantage of the financial crisis that broke out in Shanxi some time ago, and coal mine prices plummeted, making a big profit.

Once the press conference is announced, Shanxi coal mines have become fragrant steamed buns, and even if you have money, you can't buy them...
