In the county seat, outside the station, the old patriarch is bidding farewell to Xiong Yan.At this moment, the New Year is approaching, and according to the usual practice, Xiong Yan went to the capital to register as Yichengzi.After all, the eunuch who delivered the decree at that time had already made it very clear that before the Chinese New Year, he must go to the Zongzheng Organization in the capital once."
It's not easy to live in the capital.You must be careful and cautious on this trip. ”Looking at Xiong Yan, who was about to leave, the old patriarch admonished.Back then, he Xiong Ye was also a famous genius in the entire Changzhou.Everyone in the world thinks that he has the talent of a jinshi, and he himself thinks so.However, after arriving in the capital, I realized that the most important thing in the world is genius.In the capital of Nuoda, the entire Great Chu gathered, and more than half of the geniuses gathered.There, you can meet a genius with a meal.If you fight, you can meet a genius.There are even many geniuses who are silently in the capital, in front of a petty official.In addition, geniuses in almost every part of the country have dreams of going to the capital.Under various circumstances, before the old patriarch went to the capital, he was full of pride, but after entering the capital, when he came back, he was not good.Compared with that group of real geniuses, he Xiong Ye is just a green leaf."
Uncle Ye rest assured, this trip is just to register, and there will be no trouble.Moreover, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where did so much filth come from. ”Xiong Yan said nonchalantly.When he goes to the capital, he will become the ninety-ninth son of the emperor.At that time, what kind of bull, ghost, snake and god will be idle and have nothing to do to provoke the prince?"
You still have to be careful, the capital is the capital after all, not only the center of the world, but also one of the most famous places in the entire Three Realms.""
When I was in Gu County, the innate master was the strongest.When you are in the county town, the master of the clan can dominate one side. ”"In the state city, the great grandmaster is strong, and he can be regarded as the top rank.And in the provincial capital, with the power of the true immortal powerhouse, he can take the governor's words as a deaf ear.As long as they don't rebel, the court won't do anything to them. ”"However, in the capital it is completely different.Not to mention the true immortals, even if they are the strongest among the true immortals, that group of ancient people who came in person are not His Majesty's opponents. ”"It can be said that the capital is the real Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.Even if it is a true immortal powerhouse, he can't turn over the waves.Therefore, even if you were a true person of the Yang God in your previous life, you should not be careless. ”Speaking of this, the old patriarch's expression was even a little stern.He really cares about Xiong Yan, and finally the Xiong clan has a Yichengzi and has a rising trend, but if he offends a giant who shouldn't be offended because of carelessness, it will be really cool.Feeling the concern in the old patriarch's words, Xiong Yan smiled and nodded: "Uncle Ye, don't worry, I still understand this truth." ”"I'm just a small Yichengzi, it's just that I'm lucky to have a small fief.In Changzhou, he is considered an upper-class person.put it in Ji Province, barely a character.But in the capital, it's nothing. ”Hearing this, the old patriarch nodded slowly.Then, he talked about some of his own experiences, and Xiong Yan listened to them one by one.From time to time, I asked a few words, and the scene was very harmonious for a while.After a while, Xiong Yan and Oak got on the rail car and came to the box that had been packed a long time ago.The so-called rail car is actually similar to a train.Rail sleepers are laid underneath, and on top are carriages made of iron or steel.At the front, the front of the car, is where the power lies.And the rail car has been around in Dachu for a long time.As early as the time of the previous dynasty, it has appeared.At that time, the rail car purely used spirit stones as power, which was very expensive, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible to drive at all.Only when the emperor went out on patrol, or when a large army went out to suppress a rebellion, would the railcars be dispatched.Moreover, rail cars will only be dispatched when large rebellions are suppressed.Otherwise, it will cost too much money, and the imperial court will not be able to support it at all.From this point of view, the rail car is similar to the ancient Qin Straight Road.Of course, the difference is that with the spirit stone as the power, even the most primitive rail car can be tens of thousands of miles in a day and a night, and the speed is not good.Later, after the establishment of Dachu, with the development of Dachu and years of peace, the power of the merchants became stronger and stronger.There are more and more businessmen who have the ability, knowledge, ability and strength.In order to better transport goods and better develop commerce, they imitated rail cars and made horse-drawn rail cars.In the beginning, horse-drawn rail cars were very slow, and they were simply used to transport ore, and the journey was only a few dozen miles.However, after being discovered by the merchants, the speed of the horse-drawn rail car has also increased rapidly from the initial more than 30 miles per hour.Up to now, it has been directly recognized by the imperial court, and absorbed its advantages, and built slower horse-drawn rail cars that do not consume spirit stones throughout the country.Recalling this history, Xiong Yan and Oak sat down.A whole box, fifteen meters long, but there are only two people, Xiong Yan and Oak Hua.Here, there are special chairs, there are tables, and there are also beds that are prepared.Even the meals are specially prepared.After complaining a few words about the decadent aristocratic class in his heart, Xiong Yan enjoyed it with peace of mind."
Your Highness, we are taking the fastest civil rail car, without stopping in between, directly from the county town to the provincial capital.Therefore, the speed is very fast, and it can travel 3,000 miles in one day and night.However, considering the detour, it still takes more than two days to get to the provincial capital. ”Hearing this, Xiong Yan frowned, and began to calculate deep in his heart.One day and one night, three thousand miles.That is, twenty-four hours, only 1,500 kilometers.On average, it is only more than 60 kilometers per hour, and this speed, a faster motorcycle, can also achieve it?"
That's too slow, isn't it?"
Xiong Yan said directly."
Well, three thousand miles a day and night, and the speed of the Purple Mansion Realm cultivator's long-term imperial weapon flight is already about the same.Of course, the monks go straight and run in a straight line, while the rail car is a curve. ”"What is the power, just rely on some war horses?"
Xiong Yan continued.If you can do three thousand miles in a day and night with just a war horse, it is also remarkable."
When it was activated, it relied on spirit stones.After starting, it relies on a horse, not a war horse.War horses are very demanding, and this kind of horse only breeds pull. ”"Generations of improvement have led to today's speed.Among them, there is the experience of the wranglers, and there are also the immortal methods of the monks, and after a long period of accumulation, there is today's speed. ”Hearing this, Xiong Yan looked at the rapidly receding trees outside the window, and fell silent for a while.The high-level are all using spaceship warships, spirit stone spaceships and even starships that fly directly from the ground to the stars, there is no shortage of great Chu.But at the bottom, it is still a relatively backward horse-drawn rail car, using generations of improved horses as power.This gap is a bit too big, right?
It's as if the upper floors are modern, enjoying all kinds of good life.But the bottom layer is still in the Stone Age.As for the slave era, the feudal era, and the era of centralized power in the middle, they all disappeared.()
