To be honest, Su Cheng spent not much time back and forth in Haizhou this time, because there was a train from Chang'an to Luoyang, which saved a lot of time, and Su Cheng didn't stay in Haizhou for long.

However, the emergence of the train suddenly changed people's view of the journey. It only takes half a day to go from Chang'an to Luoyang, which is really convenient.

Li Shimin dreamed that he would build the railway soon. Not to mention anything else, the annual food and grass transportation would be less loss.

Compared to digging a canal, the railway can be built wherever it wants, and there is no need to mobilize a lot of manpower. The only constraint is that the manufacturing of railway tracks cannot keep up.

Hearing this, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the steam engine was created, there was still a long way to go in industrial development.

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty is talking about trains and railways all day long. You should go to Liangyi Palace later and say you can go to Chang'an, right? Come here quickly."

After hearing this, Su Changan walked forward obediently: "Gourmet to the Queen."

Empress Changsun held the child's hand and looked up and down, and smiled, "Look at this nose, this little mouth is really similar to Su Cheng. Silla is so far from Chang'an, and the child is still so young. It's very hard along the way, right?"

Jin Shengman smiled and said, "Empress Lao is worried. The child is very well-behaved and does not make any noise at all. It's okay to stop and stop along the way."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Since you are here in Chang'an, stay in Chang'an for a while."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, boy Su is the world. If you let your child learn more from Su Cheng, he will definitely be a wise king in the future."

Jin Shengman smiled and said, "I just wanted to let my child learn more with his father. I came to Chang'an from thousands of miles away, hoping that he could succeed."

Li Shimin took off a jade pendant from his body, waved to Su Chang'an and smiled, "This little guy is also a blessing. I love this jade pendant very much. I will reward you today."

While speaking, Li Shimin personally tied the jade pendant to Su Chang'an.

Jin Shengman was very excited. After all, the jade pendant worn by the emperor himself was different. The reward to the child in this way would also be of great help to the child to settle the throne of Silla in the future.

Not only that, Prince Li Zhi also asked the child to call him uncle, which made Jin Shengman even happier and satisfied that she was fighting this time in the palace.

"Chang'an, why don't you thank Your Majesty?" Jin Shengman said happily.

Su Changan said obediently: "Thank you Your Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "This child is really popular. Since you want to live in Chang'an for a long time in the future, don't be polite and bring your children into the palace more often."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Changle always runs into the palace. If you come with Changle, the palace will be lively."

Jin Shengmanfu said, "Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Empress."

Empress Changsun turned around and asked Su Cheng: "What's so fun to go to Haizhou?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and smiled: "Haizhou, the sea view is beautiful, vast and distant, the beach is good, the waves and seagulls circling. Of course, the most popular thing is seafood, which is really delicious. Unfortunately, it is too far from Chang'an. If it is transported, the seafood will smell bad."

"However, if the railway is built to Haizhou in the future, you can use the train to transport seafood."

Of course the seafood is delicious, but unfortunately, Chang'an is too far from the beach. Empress Changsun shook her head slightly and said, "It's thousands of miles away. It's too extravagant to transport seafood from such a far place!"

Is it wasteful to use a train? That's because you have never heard of "A concubine riding on the world of a man, no one knows that it's lychees coming."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's not considered an extravagant waste at all, it's just adding an extra car when transporting goods or pulling people."

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, but adding a few more cars is a matter of actually transporting seafood to Chang'an by train. It's not a waste of extra money. After all, it's just burning some coal, which is not worth it."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's not just seafood. The fruits from the south can be transported to the north in large quantities. The fruits in the south are diverse and delicious."

Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and Princess Changle felt a shiny look when they heard this. The fruits in the south are indeed of many varieties and delicious, and the only disadvantage is that they are too precious.

Transporting from the south to the north requires too much manpower and material resources, and it takes too much time. If the railway is built and transported by train, it will be fast and convenient.

Princess Changle smiled and said, "Lychees, bayberry, loquats, oranges, bananas, longans, will you eat as much as you want in the future? Oh, the railway must be built as soon as possible."

In this era, it is really difficult to be long-distance. Even Princess Changle is as expensive as she can’t eat southern fruits.

Of course, if Princess Changle was as luxurious as Yang Guifei, she could actually do it.

However, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are both those who are greedy for enjoyment and not compassionate with the people, and their children are not extravagant people.

If the railway really leads to Jiangnan, everything will be different.

Eat seafood, eat southern fruits, or even whatever is delicious, it can be easily achieved with a train.

Princess Changle's big eyes were shiny. Although she had long realized the significance of the train, she did not expect the railway to reach Jiangnan as soon as possible.

For foodies, food is the biggest driving force.

Princess Changle urged: "Father, you have to urge the Ministry of Works to speed up. You can't be lazy and build the railway to Jiangnan as soon as possible."

Empress Changsun smiled and nodded and said, "Compared to digging a canal, building a railway requires much less manpower, and the Ministry of Works is not polite to take it tightly."

Jin Shengman and Su Changan listened with a confused look on their faces, because they had never even heard of the fruits that Princess Changle said, let alone eaten.

There is no way, who made Silla so big and the climate is cold?

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I also want to build the railway as soon as possible. I have been thinking about it all day and night, and it really made me think of a way."

Not to mention Empress Changsun and Princess Changle, even Su Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this. What else did the emperor come up with?

It’s not that he looked down on Li Shimin, but he doesn’t think Li Shimin could come up with any good way.

"Your Majesty, what solution did you come up with?" Su Cheng asked curiously.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Xiao Yu was old and energetic and no longer asked for retirement. I want to place you as the Minister of Works. Your abilities are recognized by me and ministers in the court. You have become more and more calm in the past two years. In addition, you are most familiar with the construction of railways and have many ideas. It is perfect for you to be the Minister of Works."
