Chapter 1255 under the train journey

"This train is so amazing! How does this horse...'s brain grow?" Pang Tong looked at the trees and fields that were constantly regressing, and his mouth was almost unable to close.

"With the train, as long as the railway is built, the troops and food from Hebei can be transported to the front line without any loss.

In addition to the radio, I am afraid that the imperial court's control over the local area will be far more than before in the future."

Zhuge Liang thought of the significance of trains to the Han Dynasty as early as when he heard news about trains on the radio. Now, after witnessing it with his own eyes, he is more convinced that the emergence of trains will change the whole world, and this change is of far-reaching significance.

The biggest problem with logistics in ancient times was the loss on the road. People and animals had to eat, and the carrying capacity was still small, so the water transportation was slightly better. However, rivers that could sail would not reach every city.

Trains are different. As long as you have enough manpower and materials, the railway can be built at the foot of any city of the Han Dynasty.

After all, the width of this railway is only a carriage.

Of course, this is because Zhuge Liang has too little knowledge. When he arrives in Siberia or the plateau in the future, he will know that in some places, it is really difficult to build roads like the sky...

"Why has the world...because it has become like this?"

Cui Jun was also looking at the scenery outside. Along the way, he felt more and more that everything was so strange.

Is this still a big man?

"Rice hops and tea boiled water, melon seeds and candied poria cake, hold your feet in front!"

A shout attracted the attention of everyone in the carriage. They looked at it and saw a person wearing the conductor's uniform pushing a four-wheeled car. The car was a little narrower than the passage, and there were countless bottles and jars on it.

"Give me a pot of rice wine and a box of Poria cocos cakes!"

"What does melon seeds taste like? Give me a can of sweet ones!"

"Is there any hot water? I just need hot water, and hot water costs money? No more!"

"Why don't there be no winter melon candy today? I have money! What? The people in front of me bought it all? You don't know how to prepare more goods, I'll take the train for this!"

The car was pushed all the way, and there was business all the way. Zhuge Liang and others were stunned. Hebei really made business awesome. There were no other vendors on the train, but he only sold the price he wanted!

Huang Yueying is also a girl who loves snacks. When she saw the cart pushing over, she asked, "How much does melon seeds cost?"

"There are sweet and salty, and the original flavors are all just fried. You need a can? One can of salty can be eight cents, the original flavors are seven cents, and the sweet flavors are ten cents!"

Ten dollars?

Why don't you grab it?

Huang Yueying shrank her hand back like lightning.

Melon seeds are one of the favorite snacks of Chinese people in later generations, but melon seeds in later generations generally refer to sunflower seeds, while there were no sunflowers in the Han Dynasty. At this time, melon seeds were actually the seeds of melons or watermelons.

Unlike later generations who ate melon meat, watermelons in this era are still wild and the melon meat is not red, but yellow and white. The taste is not very sweet and even slightly bitter. However, because of the sufficient moisture and the sugars these days are too precious, they still have great edible value.

Anyway, Ma Qiang almost cried out when he first ate watermelons of this era. What is this...

But if you are used to eating it, it's okay. Just chew it as a cantaloupe...

"Sweet? Do you still have sweet melon seeds?" Lu Yi asked, then looked at Lu Ji.

Tsk, this little kid's eyes were glowing.

"Fry it with maltose! Do you want it? Don't let me go!

Let me tell you, it may not be necessary if I have these snacks when I come to the second trip. If there is no such thing, don’t say I didn’t remind you.”

The conductor is not afraid that no one will buy his things. Anyway, he is the only vendor on the car, so he still has time to sell it slowly.

"There are two cans of each of the three flavors, two cans of rice wine, two cans of flower tea, and three boxes of Poria cocos cakes. Is there a cup?"

"Yes, cups are only rented but not sold, five per cent!"

....

"Ten!" Lu Yi grinned and paid, and then distributed snacks to everyone.

"Hebei is good everywhere, but this merchant's face is really hard to accept... These things can't be sold at half the price outside!"

Looking at the melon seeds sprinkled on the table, Lu Yi either felt sorry for the money, or he felt that he had been slaughtered as a sucker.

"We still have no experience. Look, we all bring our own food over there!"

Everyone looked at a table not far away, but it wasn't it. They brought all the barbecue and were eating it now.

It seems that it is indeed a problem that I take less trains...

The vending truck was just a small episode, and the train was slowly driving. Zhuge Liang and others were talking about the world while watching the scenery outside.

Pieces of farmland, villages, and garages. All of this means that under the governance of the Hebei court led by Ma Qiang, the people of Hebei have lived a peaceful and prosperous life.

"General Ma...who are you?"

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and recalled everything he saw since Wancheng, and he was vaguely looking forward to the arrival of the day when he saw Ma Qiang.

Zhuge Liang believed that this day would not be too far away.

"Crack... Hello, dear travelers.

I am the conductor of this train.

Thank you for taking this train. In the next journey, I will spend an unforgettable day with you.

Next, we will connect to Dahan No. 1 Radio Station and wish all the travelers a happy journey.”

Zhuge Liang and others widened their eyes, looking for the source of the sound, and finally saw several small black holes on the ceiling above the aisle, and the sound seemed to be coming from there.

This train...is this thing installed?

As the familiar music sounded, Zhuge Liang and others were forced to listen to the radio along the way.

——Guangzong

"Woooooooooooooo~~"

As the train speed gradually slowed down, the train slowly entered Guangzong Railway Station.

"Hello, dear travelers.

I am the conductor of this train.

Our train has arrived at the station. Thank you for your care and thank you for choosing to take our train.

I wish you all a bright future and achieve great success.

The car door is open, please take your carry-on luggage and get off the car in an orderly manner.”

With the sound of the radio, the car door slowly opened, and the passengers present also began to pack their luggage and prepare to get off the car.

What we encountered along the way is enough to become a topic of conversation at the dinner table for a long time in the future.

"I finally arrived in Guangzong. This train is indeed much better than a carriage~"

Cui Jun stretched his waist and made a clattering sound all over his body.

Although it is a little smoother than a carriage, I still feel uncomfortable after sitting for so long.

"This railway station has light bulbs, it is worthy of being Guangzongcheng..."

"Where are we going next?"

"First find a place to live, and then go to Peking University to take a look." Zhuge Liang suggested.
