His Highness actually asked me to explain to the Emperor?
At this time, Su Pengcheng was touched and nervous at the same time.
He didn't understand in his heart that His Highness was promoting him.
Otherwise, when it comes to understanding trains, His Highness is the one who knows the most, so why would you call him here?
Li Shimin glanced at Su Pengcheng, and then asked Li Min nonchalantly: "Min'er, who is this?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Father, he is the conductor of this Pioneer train and is responsible for all affairs of this Pioneer train!"
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then come and explain this Pioneer to me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Next, Su Pengcheng began to explain the Pioneer to Li Shimin and others.
At the beginning, Su Pengcheng's voice stuttered because he was nervous.
But soon, the sound returned to normal.
This man is a ruthless man who can put his life and death at risk. His psychological quality is naturally excellent.
Following Su Pengcheng's explanation, everyone listened with great interest.
They knew very well what the appearance of the train meant to Datang.
The emergence of trains was an epoch-making reform for Datang.
This is an opportunity for Datang. With the arrival of trains and three new types of crops, Datang will inevitably enter a period of rapid development again.
However, among the crowd, there was one person who was obviously not interested in what Su Pengcheng was explaining.
This person is naturally the Demon King Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but stepped forward, slapped Su Pengcheng on the shoulder, and asked carelessly: "Boy, can you drive a train?"
Plop!
Su Pengcheng was slapped down by Cheng Yaojin and sat down on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help curling his lips and said: "This body is really weak. With such a small body, how can you drive such a big thing?"
Next to Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong could not help but curl his lips and said: "You idiot Cheng, tell yourself, how many ordinary people can withstand your slap?"
Cheng Yaojin grinned and said hehely: "I thought that those who can drive a train must not be ordinary people! By the way, boy, can you drive a train?"
Su Pengcheng got up from the ground with a grin on his face, calmly distanced himself from Cheng Yaojin, and then said quickly: "Go back, go back to that..."
It turned out that Su Pengcheng didn't know Cheng Yaojin. For a moment, he didn't know what to call him and froze on the spot.
Li Min couldn't help but stepped forward and said to him: "Pengcheng, this is Duke Lu."
Su Pengcheng hurriedly said: "Go back to Lu Guogong, ordinary people can drive trains."
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said with joy: "Great! Then start the train quickly and let us see how such a big iron lump can run!"
Driving a train is just to let you experience it?
Su Pengcheng didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he couldn't help but look at Li Min in embarrassment.
At this time, after Cheng Yaojin said this, the civil and military officials, including Li Shimin, not only did not refuse, but looked very interested.
In fact, it was not just Cheng Yaojin. They were also very curious and wanted to see how such a huge behemoth could run.
Here, only Li Min has black lines on his head.
Huo, do you think the train is your family's carriage?
Open when you want?
Li Min couldn't help but said: "Lu Guogong, it costs a lot of money to start this train once. And every time the train starts, it will cause damage to the life of the train. Therefore, unless it is a normal round-trip transportation, it will not be used casually.
Start the train.”
After listening to Li Min's words, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but asked angrily: "Boy, have you been to Yizhou for a few days and stopped taking notice of your uncle Cheng? Do you believe I will slap you?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but glared and said: "Gong Lu, please don't mess around!"
After watching the train, everyone had an unfinished expression.
Li Min, on the other hand, was taken away directly by Li Shimin.
Now, Li Shimin had too many things to ask Li Min.
On the way, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask: "Yin'er, can this train be manufactured in large quantities?"
With the three new crops, Datang's economy is bound to improve significantly in just a few years.
With steel-making technology, Datang could build railways.
It doesn't take much, as long as the railways on a few main roads are built, then the entire traffic in Datang will be completely revitalized.
However, Li Min said in embarrassment: "Father, this train is the result of all my efforts. I'm afraid I won't be able to build another one within ten years."
Now Li Min's net worth is only a few thousand, and he has no hope of buying a train again.
However, if Li Min really spends all his money, he will probably be able to buy another train in just one or two years.
However, Li Min still has more things to buy, and it is impossible to spend all his money on the train.
Even with Datang's current technological capabilities, it would be difficult for them to build a train even if they were given another fifty years.
However, if Li Min continuously purchases some advanced instruments from the mall, this process can be greatly advanced.
Li Min not only wants to teach people how to fish, but also teaches them how to fish.
The two methods, working hand in hand, can further accelerate Datang's technological progress.
After listening to Li Min's words, Li Shimin could only sigh with regret.
In fact, Li Shimin also expected this situation.
This train is so huge and so fast, it must be difficult to build.
If it were easy to make, something would be wrong.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin asked again: "Yin'er, the yield of those three new crops per mu has really reached more than two thousand kilograms per mu? What are the land requirements for these three new crops?"
Compared with trains, this is also an issue that Li Shimin is concerned about.
We even care more about these three new crops than trains.
After all, the core idea of ancient times was to put agriculture first, and they would not put the cart before the horse.
Li Min couldn't help but said: "Father, among the three new crops, only sweet potatoes can reach two thousand catties per acre. Of course, if the land is good and the fertilizer can keep up, three thousand catties per acre is not impossible.
"
"By the way, in fact, there is a new type of crop called potatoes, and the yield per mu is almost the same as sweet potatoes. These crops can be grown throughout Datang."
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but said with great joy: "That's great! Starting next year, we will fully promote these three new crops within the Tang Dynasty. By the way, my father heard that you are still here
Yizhou has planted winter wheat, is this winter wheat really viable?"
