Chapter 1642 The sages are complete

It seems that Su Cheng really didn't take this seriously. Cheng Yaojin and the others found it difficult to understand Su Cheng's state of mind, and Su Cheng may also find it difficult to understand their state of mind.

Li Ji smiled and said, "Hurry up and try the drive, it's a mule or a horse that pulls it out!"

Li Xiaogong couldn't wait to say, "Yes, test the train quickly. We are anxious to see how the train runs and how fast it can run."

It was a morning and they were really anxious to wait.

Su Cheng turned over and got off the horse, and smiled and said, "Okay, let's start. First, drive a locomotive onto the rails, then pull the car to the rails with a cow to connect it, and finally connect a locomotive."

When the craftsmen saw so many dukes and princes coming, they were all very reserved and didn't know what to do.

Now that they saw Su Cheng coming, they finally had the backbone and immediately started to work hard.

In fact, they had already planned what to do last night, so now they started to do it step by step.

Some craftsmen ignite the fire and fill in the carbon, and drove the steamer onto the rails, and then other craftsmen brought a few cows to pull the carriages onto the rails...

The craftsmen were working hard, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong and others were all standing aside and watching with relish.

Suddenly, a slight tremor appeared on the ground. Su Cheng, Li Ji and other generals immediately turned their heads to look. Before, smoke and dust were everywhere in the distance, it seemed that a large group of cavalry was galloping towards this side.

"What's the situation? Why did a cavalry suddenly come?" Su Cheng asked in confusion.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It should be Your Majesty."

Su Cheng looked surprised: "Ah? Why is the emperor still here? No, how could the emperor know?"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled, "We haven't even attended the grand ceremony. Your Majesty will definitely ask. His Majesty was very concerned about the construction of the railway. Now that you know you want to test the driving, how could you not come and take a look?"

Su Cheng said helplessly: "It's really just a small experiment. I didn't expect that his Majesty would alarm him."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Looking at this, Your Majesty has directly canceled the dynasty meeting, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed over so quickly!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled gloatingly and said, "You didn't report to Your Majesty. You should think about how to explain to Your Majesty, otherwise you will definitely blame you if Your Majesty comes down later."

It’s not that right? It’s really just a small experiment. Li Shimin is also a wise king of the generation. It’s impossible for him to be so stingy?

What? The emperor is coming?

The craftsmen who were working next to him were shocked and their legs began to tremble.

They never expected that today's experiment would alarm His Majesty the Emperor!

He obviously didn't report to the emperor, but he didn't expect that the emperor would even cancel the dynasty meeting after hearing this and ran straight to him!

The craftsmen who were already working hard suddenly slowed down, and the emperor was coming soon. Their hearts were ups and downs and they didn't know what to do.

Not only the emperor came, but also followed a group of ministers in the court. Su Cheng seriously suspected that Li Shimin had directly led all the ministers to the court.

Li Shimin rode his horse and his eyes fell on the railway tracks and the locomotive on the railway tracks.

To be honest, this is the first time Li Shimin has seen railway tracks. It turns out that this is the railway, which is not much different from what he imagined.

However, he was still shocked by the two locomotives and twenty cars.

Although I have seen steaming cars before, this locomotive is much larger than the steaming cars I saw before!

He had previously lamented that the steamed car was a giant, but now compared with the locomotive, he suddenly realized that the steamed car before was like a child.

There are also these twenty cars, which are completely different from the carriage he imagined. The carriage is too big, and one carriage can support the carriages of several carriages.

These twenty cars can definitely support one hundred carriages!

So imposing! Looking at these giants, Li Shimin suddenly felt full of expectations.

"Welcome to Your Majesty!" Su Cheng and others greeted respectfully.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Su Cheng and said angrily: "Su Cheng, don't you know that I am very concerned about building the railway? Why didn't you report me to such a big deal about the test drive?"

Sure enough, he asked, and Su Cheng smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, this is just a small experiment in the middle, not the final version, so it is not worth making a big fuss. The locomotive was finally finalized and tested. Of course, I will report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to come in person! Your Majesty, you are a little too anxious!"

Too anxious? The train has such great significance, how can he not be anxious?

However, you can't be too impatient in front of Su Cheng. As the emperor, you still have to grasp the reserve.

Li Shimin looked solemn and asked in a deep voice: "Su Cheng, you can test the railway after building dozens of miles of railways. Why did you say you wanted to test the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang to ask me for two million chunks of railways?"

Su Cheng spread his hands and explained calmly: "Your Majesty, I have to test the durability of the train, right? Even if you can run dozens of miles, it doesn't mean you can run eight hundred miles. What if it falls halfway through the run? The locomotive is like a heavy car, and dozens of cars can't pull the cattle and horses. What should I do?"

It seemed that something was right, but it was wrong. Li Shimin suddenly thought of something and asked in a deep voice: "There is no need to build an 800-mile railway test. Isn't it enough to just run a 100-mile railway back and forth?"

Su Cheng greeted him slightly and smiled calmly, "Your Majesty is a wise and genius, with a wonderful idea. I am stupid and I couldn't think of this. Now, after your Majesty's guidance, I suddenly realized it! Your Majesty said so much, but why didn't Your Majesty think of it at the beginning?"

Li Shimin was speechless when he heard this. Is it his fault for his feelings?

He didn't know what the train looked like, how it ran, and what could he come up with?

Li Shimin also understood that with Su Cheng's eloquence, he could never say that Su Cheng could.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Didn't you say you want to test the train? Hurry up, I want to see if the locomotive can run with so many cars and how fast it can run!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Please wait, your majesty will be able to complete the assembly soon, and the test train will begin soon."

After saying that, Su Cheng drove the horse to the craftsmen and comforted him: "Everyone doesn't have to be nervous. You just need to work step by step. Don't worry about anything. Even if something goes wrong, I will be responsible for it. You don't have to be nervous. After the test run is over, I will have a heavy reward."
