The next day, outside the newly built railway station in the south of Chang'an City, although there were not crowds outside here, there were already a lot of people. However, there were so many people and not many ordinary people. Although there were ordinary people watching from a distance, they could not get close to the station.

This station is different from Dahan's station. Most of its buildings are typical Chinese buildings, built with wooden and stone foundations. Although the area is not too small, it is naturally impossible to compare with the pure reinforced concrete buildings of Dahan.

Apart from the platform, there is basically not much reinforced concrete in other places.

Not only Chang'an, but all stations along the way are basically the same. At this moment, Li Shimin is also waiting on the platform, everyone is waiting for the first fully running train to arrive.

This train was also the first train that opened directly from Yumen Pass. The rare Empress Changsun behind Li Shimin, even the concubines of Li Shimin, and even Li Yuan were waiting here, as well as Li Shimin's prince, as well as the sisters and younger brothers that Li Yuan had created for him in recent years.

Because it is different from history, when Li Shimin went to the Western Regions, he had a thorough talk with Li Yuan, so Li Yuan naturally didn't have to be under house arrest in Chengqian Palace. Therefore, Li Yuan's life was much better than history, and his health was actually quite good, and he probably lived longer than history.

After all, in history, Li Yuan was placed under house arrest in Chengqian Palace. There was nothing else except playing with women every day. His grade was older, and he was a woman except for eating wildly. Even so, Li Yuan lived to be 69 years old in history, which was considered extremely long, at least compared to his life.

Now he is in good spirits, and he can also see Li Shimin's children, which is considered to be full of children and grandchildren. Therefore, Li Yuan is very energetic. Although he has created humans, he is not as many as in history, and his whole body is not as fat as in history, and his spirit is still very good.

In addition to the royal family, the rest are the well-known officials of the entire Tang Dynasty. Except for those who have to be on duty, they all came. Putting aside these, they are the families of these officials, the heads of various aristocratic families in Chang'an City, and even some responsible personnel.

It can be said that at this moment, they gathered at the front of the railway station, not as servants and more than a thousand guards, but almost represent the top aristocratic class in the entire Tang Dynasty. If someone could catch all the here in one go, it would have completely wiped out the highest level of the entire Tang Dynasty.

And the farther place is the people of Chang'an Car. Today, there are countless people gathered here in Chang'an City. In fact, the number of people gathered at the railway station is not too many, but there are only a few people waiting to see the train on both sides of the railway extending from the railway station to the Western Regions.

Within a distance of more than ten or twenty kilometers near Chang'an City, almost all the people on both sides of the railway were waiting and watching, but these people were 200 meters away from the railway, and even further away. The reason why they were far away was naturally because Li Shimin formulated relevant laws.

Destroying railway tracks is illegal, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty are much stricter. If you report the act of destroying railways, you can get high rewards, so most people dare not get close to them.

However, it did not affect them waiting to watch the fun from a distance of 200 to 300 meters. After all, for them, the steel dragon that can drive on the railway track is truly unprecedented.

Li Shimin and the others were all sitting on chairs. After all, there was not so accurate time now, and they just gave an approximate time. So in order to miss the first ceremony, even Emperor Li Shimin could only wait here.

"Erlang, is the thing you are talking about reliable? You can really travel thousands of miles a day, and you can travel thousands of miles a day with thousands of stones of supplies?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask again.

"When I say to my father, this is true. We have tested the railway during the construction process." Li Shimin explained with a smile.

"Then this thing is really magical. Could it be that this thing has divine power? I heard that Huo Gang is a god from heaven coming to earth?" Li Yuan couldn't help asking, mainly because this thing has a great impact on people of this era.

Even though the entire project has been built for five years, there are still many people who do not believe in the entire Tang Dynasty. After all, there are too few people who have seen it with their own eyes.

Even though the news has spread long ago, no one is willing to believe it, which is why so many people gather here to watch it today.

"Grandpa Emperor, I don't know whether Huo Gang is a god, but Grandpa Emperor, the ability to run this train is not divine power, but science, which is the reason for natural existence." A girl wearing a gorgeous long dress next to her spoke in a crisp voice.

She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with her long soft black hair tied with a girl's bun behind her, and a piece of slender and white neck was exposed outside, elegant like a swan, shoulders like a knife, waist like a bun, slender figure, delicate face and eyes like picturesque, beautiful nature, delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, clear and beautiful eyes as bright as Xiaoxi, and gentle as jade, as graceful as a stunning geese.

In those cold and bright eyes, there is a kind of wisdom that seems to see through all things in this world.

The so-called flowers are the appearance, birds are the sound, moon is the spirit, willows are the shape, jade is the bone, ice and snow are the skin, autumn water is the posture, and poetry is the heart.

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't know if he is the God Emperor Grandpa, but the Emperor Grandpa knows that he is Xiaolizhi's future good husband." Li Yuan turned around and looked at the cute little man, with a kind smile on his face and couldn't help but tease him.

Li Lizhi smiled brightly on her face, without shyness, only a graceful smile, and she whispered: "I'll thank you for the praise of Grandpa Emperor for him."

"You, you are such a clever little ghost." Li Yuan stretched out his hand and patted her little hand, and couldn't help but smile. There were so many children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, but after Li Yuan was liberated, only Changle had seen him for the longest time in these years, and not only looked at him, but also chatted with him every time.

So Li Yuan’s favorite is this eldest granddaughter, who is also the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Because when she was the only one who came to see him, she had no other purpose, just to see her grandfather, that's all.

Li Lizhi smiled slightly and stopped talking. Li Shimin next to her also smiled. Just as she was about to speak, a voice from afar suddenly came over: "Your Majesty, here you are."

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and immediately stood up from his position, raised his head and looked into the distance. The crowds waiting for the chat became agitation. The concubines waiting for chat, princess and princesses, etc. also stopped chatting and looked up at the distance.

"Guanyin maid, hold it back a little later. Chengqian and the others are not suitable for identifying their identities in this scene. After today's ceremony is over, they will return to the palace to pay homage to us." Li Shimin saw a ball of black smoke coming out from a distance, and then lowered his voice and spoke.

He knew that Empress Changsun had been thinking about her two sons for a long time, but was afraid that she would not be able to hold it back for a while.

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Concubine Yang who was standing behind Empress Changsun. Seeing Li Shimin's gaze, Concubine Yang immediately nodded gently to indicate that she had heard it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Empress Changsun also whispered. Of course, she knew that today was the official opening ceremony, not only the official opening ceremony, but also the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and important ministers from the Han Dynasty. The two sides had to sign a series of strategic contracts, so today's task was also very important.

After confirming, Li Shimin turned his gaze to the distance. At this moment, wherever his eyes were, a long black dragon was driving quickly towards here with black smoke.

Li Shimin and the others didn't see it clearly here, but at this moment, all the people guarding both sides of the railway were already exclaiming. In their sight, it was really like a steel dragon. It was emitting black smoke, and there were a total of more than a dozen or twenty cars hanging behind it on the railway tracks and running by at a speed faster than horses.

With the loud whistle sound of "woosh", the train whistled past with "bang" and "bang".

"I'm really open today. It's not a pity that the leader Huo, who rebuilt the Han Dynasty, could even create such a steel dragon."

"Yes, when we built it before, we didn't believe it when we heard them telling this thing, but now we see that it's really nothing fake."

"If it weren't for the great officials who built the railways who told us several times that it was a machine made of steel, just like a Changle plow pulled by our horses, they were all of which belonged to machines. I thought this was a divine dragon from heaven who came down to earth."

"Who said no? If I had seen it for the first time, I thought it was a dragon who had descended to earth. Otherwise, how could it have such great strength? How did you say it do it? How could this steel run away by itself?"

"Hey, if I knew, I would have gone to be an official, and I would have chatted with you here."

"I want to tell you, this great man's craftsmen are probably not all Zhuge Kongming alive. I heard that Zhuge Kongming could make wooden cattle and horses."

"You turtle son still knows Zhuge Kongming? Everyone should share the popular science with you, you definitely don't know."

"Hehe, don't I like listening to stories."
