"What is this?" Looking at the various lines on the wrinkled paper like graffiti, Tang Shanshi let out an unconscious moan.

"This is called a train. Have you seen it? The one that reaches the wheel is an iron car. Your steam engine is placed on it." Li Chengqian said, pointing to a black piece of stuff.

"Then what are these two lines?" Tang Shanshi was powerless to complain about Li Chengqian's painting skills. Facing the only guy who wrote words in the entire Tang Dynasty who could prevent counterfeiting, any complaints were useless.

However, Li Chengqian was not ashamed at all. Facing such an ugly painting, he said without changing his face: "This is a railway track. The weight of this iron cart is too large after loading with a steam engine, so it must be prepared for special purposes. The railway track is specially used for running this kind of iron cart."

"What's the stuff behind?" Tang Shanshi pointed to the small squares behind the largest black spot and continued to ask.

"This is a car box. Since there is an iron car and the power is installed on the iron car, there must be a car, otherwise the previous work will be in vain."

Li Chengqian struggled to identify what he had drawn on the so-called "drawings", explaining to Tang Shanshi little by little what was there.

After a while, Tang Shanshi finally realized what Li Chengqian was talking about, threw the wrinkled paper to the side, and asked nervously: "Gao Ming, what do you mean is that you can use a steam engine as a power system, and then use it to drive the wheels to rotate, thereby pulling something heavier than it. Is that what does it mean?"

"Yes, don't you understand what I said just now?" Li Chengqian glanced at Xiao Tang and blamed him with his eyes and realized it.

But soon Ya turned her attention to the so-called "iron cart", picked up the paper thrown aside, and said excitedly: "I call this thing a train. If you can succeed, it will only take a day for us to arrive in Luoyang in the future, and even better, we can walk back and forth in a day."

"A round trip from Chang'an to Luoyang a day?" Tang Shanshi had not come back to his senses from the shock, but was once again frightened by Li Chengqian.

After contacting Li Chengqian one afternoon, Xiao Tang received too many new things. Whether it was iron trucks or railway tracks, he was surprised by what Li Chengqian said.

The distance between Chang'an and Luoyang is nearly 800 miles away. Hong Ling's urgent report could reach that day, but if you say that you can have a meal at another place at noon, you will be a bit crazy.

Who doesn't know that Hong Ling's urgent report was 800 miles faster, which was the fastest speed in the Tang Dynasty. Now Li Chengqian actually said that if the iron car was made out, it could reach twice the speed of Hong Ling's urgent report. How could this not surprise Tang Shanshi? How could he not think that he had met a madman?

"How is it? Have you thought about it? I tell you that the Research Department has a great future. If you don't want to do it, there will be a lot of people waiting in line. If I didn't want to do it, I wouldn't want to give you this errand for the sake of our brothers."

Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Tang who was hunched and said sternly, as if he could get the position of the Research Office. Xiao Tang should thank him very well.

"Gao Ming, are you just saying true? It really takes half a day from Chang'an to Luoyang? Don't lie to me." Tang Shanshi didn't care about what Li Chengqian said and what he meant. He just wanted to know now whether it really takes half a day from Chang'an to Luoyang.

"Shi Shi, you're heartbroken when you say this. Just say when I, Li Chengqian, cheated on my brother, and you're talking about when I've cheated on you." Li Chengqian patted his chest and promised loudly.

But in fact, he had no idea whether the steam engine that had just been invented could make the train run so fast. The reason why he tried so much was just to fool Tang Shanshi into being deceived and do this.

After all, craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty were extremely unstable. No one would be willing to join this business if they had the opportunity. Since Tang Shanzhi had been on a pirate ship once, it was unreasonable that Li Chengqian would not continue to fool him this time.

"Okay, I'll be deceived once. Since you've said so, I'm Tang Shanzhi, who has eaten a hundred beans and didn't know how to fishy beans, was really deceived. She patted her chest and replied to the errand given to him by Li Chengqian.

Double the speed of Hong Ling's urgent report. If this so-called railway was built to Liaodong or the Western Regions, how much credit would it be? Xiao Tang was not really stupid, nor was he so easy to fool. If it was really not good, Li Chengqian would probably not agree even if he called "heartbroken" ten thousand times.

And Xiao Tang also knew that Li Chengqian found him, and he could not escape sooner or later. Instead of being forced to take office afterwards, it would be better to go with the flow and agree now. At least in this way, everyone can live up to their face.

In this way, Tang Shanshi once again accepted Li Chengqian's arrangement and retreated to Chang'an to continue his research. Changsun Chong was liberated and happily returned home to fight his newly married concubine for 300 rounds. The next day, he was so upset that he couldn't get up - his legs were weak.

After arranging Xiao Tang's affairs, Li Chengqian temporarily entered the incubation period. Every day, he was not only playing chess but also writing and painting, trying not to attract other people's attention.

After all, he came to Xianyang to keep a guard for the old man, not to come here to relax. It was somewhat worthwhile to be impeached after a lot of trouble.

While Li Chengqian was extinguished, Silla and Baekje fell into boundless fear, because the Tang Dynasty's "Sea Wolf" navy occupied Tsushima Island, an important island between them and Japan, and drove out all the islanders on the island.

The two small countries have not forgotten. Just half a year ago, they joined forces with Goguryeo and the Tang army. Now the Tang navy appears behind them, so it is clear how the outcome is.

Therefore, after the two countries discovered that the huge warships of the Tang Dynasty's "Sea Wolf" navy were cruising near their coastline, they were immediately distracted. While sending envoys to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, they were rectifying the army to strictly guard against them.

But what they did not expect was that the messenger sent was blocked back before he even went out of the border. The Liaodong Legion stationed on the border between the former Goguryeo and the two countries told them very tactfully: There is a war zone ahead. If you want to go there, please take a detour!

The two countries had no choice but to let the envoys go on a water route, intending to go ashore from Dengzhou in the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an. Sadly, these guys were not lucky. They just went to sea and encountered pirates. Before they could say a few words, they were taken to the bottom of the sea by people, even the boat and the turtle.
