Due to the aboriginals' human form, the five seats on Earth were changed to four. At the same time, the depth of the seats was also increased. As a result, the 118 passenger carriages on Earth could only carry 80 people.
Similarly, the number of passengers in the hard sleeper carriages was also greatly reduced.
Even so, the emergence of trains was a huge impact on transportation and travel in this world.
With Ren Baqian's promotion, trains and other means of transportation in this world would be promoted to the entire territory of Dayao at a speed that was dozens of times faster than in Ren Baqian's previous life.
For example, there is only one railway track from point A to point C, and two railway tracks are set up at point B. In this way, the trains to and fro can cross each other at point B.
This was also a method often used on Earth.
Through this method, there could be up to eight trains on the route from Lan City to Pingdu.
In terms of cargo transportation alone, more than five million kilograms of cargo could be transported every day.
In this era, it could be considered an astronomical figure.
However, with the existence of tractors and trucks, the current requirement for carrying capacity wasn't that high. Therefore, Ren Baqian estimated that there would be a total of four trains per day, with half of the passengers and half of the cargo.
In other words, there would be two trains departing from Lan City or Pingdu every day.
This carrying capacity could be said to be enough for a few years.
After all, the people of the Yun Nation and the aboriginals didn't have the habit of visiting or traveling to another area. As a result, there wouldn't be a peak traffic flow like on Earth.
After all, the people coming and going were the chambers of commerce, a small number of scholars, and officials with official duties.
The ordinary people of this world couldn't walk more than 50 kilometers away from their homes in their lifetime.
In the next few years, when many people had gotten used to traveling by train, the number of trains could be gradually increased.
The next new railway plan was to connect Pingdu to Wangjing and Lan City to the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
The construction of these two railways would take five years.
In this way, the transportation from the east to the central and western regions and from the south to the central and northern regions could be completed.
After that, it would be from Lan City to the Protectorate of the North and the Protectorate of the Southeast.
In this way, Lan City would become Dayao's only transportation hub.
The location of the new city would be more than 100 kilometers away from Lan City. It would only take four hours by train, and it would be the political center of Dayao.
…
"These people … Is that the empress? Why is the empress here? "Cao Gui stood at the back of the crowd and looked at the approaching group. When he saw who it was, his pupils shrank.
Although he had never seen the empress in person, he had seen a portrait of her.
Moreover, even if he had never seen the portrait before, he could guess his identity just by looking at his posture and bearing, as well as the way Zi Donglai followed behind him.
"Should we go back and inform the Dean?" a student from the Xiaojiang Academy asked.
"What's the point of notifying him now? Let's take a look first, "Cao Gui replied without turning his head. His gaze lingered on the empress for a moment before moving on to the crowd.
"Is that Zhao Prince Consort? What a shiny head, just like in the legends. "
"These people … seem to be Spirit Wheel experts? It was simply terrifying! In terms of high-end martial arts, the Imperial Court was simply too terrifying! Be it the original imperial court, the Chen Nation, or the Great Xia, none of them can compare. "
"Who are these people? She didn't look very old … What a beautiful girl! Tsk tsk, he looks so young, but his strength is actually a level higher than mine. Terrifying! "
"City Lord Yujiang and Liang City Lord are following behind them?"
"There's also Gu Zang, Zhong Qing, City Lord Xu An … They're all nearby City Lords. It looks like they already knew that the Emperor was coming." Ma Hualong pointed out a few people beside him.
"What do you think?" Cao Gui asked softly.
"Since these City Lords are here, the empress shouldn't be going to other cities. It's very likely that she's really going to Lan City with us. Aren't those Spirit Wheel experts the ministers of the imperial court? Since the empress, Zhao Prince Consort, and so many ministers are here, there must be something important that involves the entire Yun Nation. "
After the procession was far away, Cao Gui pulled Ma Hualong along and said, "Let's go back."
It wasn't just Cao Gui and the other students from the Xiaojiang Academy who were watching this procession. There were also students from Zhitai, Wangjing, Jiangling, and many other academies.
No one expected that the Empress would suddenly come to Pingdu while they were gathering in Pingdu and heading to Lan City. She even brought along all the court officials.
This made everyone speculate after they returned.
…
"No matter what their intentions are, it's not something we can participate in now. Our goal this time is still the same as before, to suppress the other academies in the exchange, "someone said in the inn where the Jiangling Academy was staying. "Only when we enter the imperial court will we have a chance to speak up!"
"Brother Huining is right. Everyone, don't be distracted at this time," another person said.
Everyone nodded.
…
In the inn where the Wangjing Academy was staying, five people sat together.
"If we suppress the other academies, embarrass the Black Bamboo Academy, and then reject the imperial court's recruitment, I think they will look very good," a scholar said with a strange smile.
"That's right. Before we came, we were already prepared to sacrifice ourselves for a righteous cause. If they really fly into a rage out of humiliation and slaughter the students who are going to Lan City, then the people of the world and those who are content in their own corner will be able to see the true colors of these barbarians. Their previous conciliatory methods will become a joke.
You have to know that we were invited by them.
If they want to subdue the scholars and hold back their anger, then we must become the heroes of the scholars! " Another scholar with a pair of reptilian eyes scanned the people in front of him and said. His eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred.
If they became the heroes of the scholars, even if the imperial court of Dayao wanted to do anything in the future, they would have to consider the reactions of the scholars.
Since ancient times, the writers of the scholars couldn't be offended!
The other three people remained silent and played with the wine cups in their hands.
"Why? Haven't the three of you made up your minds? Don't forget that we have studied many classics. How can we easily side with those barbarians? "
"Brother Tu Jie, the warlord of Wen Shi City, Duke Tu, was killed by those barbarians. If you had stayed in the academy, I wouldn't have said anything else. But since you are here, are you going to work for the enemy who killed your father? "
One of the three people immediately crushed his wine cup with an ashen face.
…
Zhitai Academy: "That student from Xiaojiang Academy is so handsome today. Little girl, are you moved?"
Along with the voice was a series of laughter and playful voices.
…
The next morning, many academies with different thoughts left Pingdu and went to a wasteland in the north of the city under the lead of the soldiers.
"Look, the people from Wangjing Academy, Jiangling Academy, Baiquan Academy, and Fenghu Academy … The five academies are finally here." Cao Gui nudged Ma Hualong's shoulder and said.
"What surprises me the most is that those old-fashioned fellows from Wangjing Academy actually came." Ma Hualong glanced around and said in bewilderment.
While they were sizing up others, others were sizing them up too.
Among them, there were only seven students from Wangjing Academy, 15 from General Academy, 13 from Baiquan Academy, and 20 from Fenghu Academy, the same as Xiaojiang Academy.
In addition, there were many other academies. At a glance, all the famous academies in the Yun Nation were here.
In front of them, a row of buildings had appeared on a piece of flat land that was originally outside Pingdu City.
The first two-story pavilion was more than 30 meters wide, and the words "Pingdu Train Station" were written on the top.
On both sides of the pavilion was a row of walls that tightly blocked the inside.
"What's a train?" Everyone was puzzled again.
They had heard of it once yesterday, and now they saw it again.
