"Report to Lord Meng, the train is three o'clock and seven o'clock in the afternoon, and it's here!"

The general guarding the place replied loudly.

What?

After hearing this information, all the people of Xianyang who arrived were shocked, very shocked!

So fast?

In half a quarter of an hour, the train has arrived?

That's right, there was actually the concept of minute and second in ancient times.

In ancient times, a day was divided into twelve hours, and half an hour was called an hour, which was simply called hour, which was also the origin of the later hours.

An hour is divided into eight monuments, each monument is about fifteen minutes, and the ancients divided it into fifteen monuments.

This part is not a modern word, but it actually existed in ancient times. In ancient times, 120 is equal to one hour, which is exactly the same as the two hours and 120 minutes now.

However, in ancient times, when there were no clocks, the hourglass and other time tools were used to determine it. If the hourglass and other time tools were not guarded, then you could only estimate an approximate time, and it was rarely possible to estimate minutes and seconds.

.

Of course, in ancient times, it was not just one hundred and twenty equal to one hour, this algorithm.

In fact, there are two other algorithms: one hour is equal to one hundred and eight minutes, or one hour is equal to ninety-six minutes.

However, the mainstream algorithm is that one hour is equal to one hundred and twenty.

When they heard that the train had only taken about half a quarter of an hour to reach the end, all the people were greatly surprised.

This is ten miles away!

Can it be so fast for ten miles?

It's like flying over!

"When did the fastest group of horses arrive?"

Meng Yi asked.

"Report to the master, the fastest group of horses will arrive at three or five o'clock in the afternoon."

The guard replied truthfully.

There is no need to lie about this matter, after all, there are many people watching it around.

The fastest horses do come faster than trains. One reason is that the distance is short, so there is no need to consume the horse's physical strength.

The second is that the road is flat, and very good horses can reach up to 80 kilometers per hour with a fast sprint speed.

Although not lasting...

However, it is still awesome to run in a short run!

"It seems that the horse is faster..."

After hearing this in the crowd, they couldn't help but start talking.

"Then of course he is soon, just riding a horse without taking anything!"

"Yes, this train has loaded so many things and has pulled so many people!"

"That's true..."

"However, I don't know when this second group of horses arrived..."

"good!"

Hearing the crowd, Meng Yi continued to ask, "What about the second group of horses?"

"Report to Lord!"

The guard continued to answer loudly, "The second group of horses arrived at four or five o'clock in the afternoon."

Um?

Four or five minutes at noon?

This second group of horses is almost twice as slower than the train?

Only the second group of horses had more than half a stone of grain?

What's the difference?

It seems that this horse is not as good as this train when it comes to carrying things.

Um?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Meng Yi immediately asked how long the remaining three groups would be.

As a result, one group is slower than the other, and the time it takes almost doubled.

In the end, people couldn't help but find that the last group of horses carrying three stones of heavy food and grass had not arrived yet!

For a moment, it was difficult for everyone to be excited.

This train is too powerful, right?

"good!"

Meng Yi shouted, "Let all the fifty soldiers inside come out and let everyone see if they have anything to do?"

"promise!"

"Mr. Meng has an order to let you soldiers in the train come out!"

"promise!"

Hearing the summons, the soldiers inside answered in unison, and then walked down from the doors on both sides of the train carriage one by one, standing straight on both sides.

Seeing that all these people were stable, the people present looked forward to watch again.

Wow?

These people arrived so quickly and were so quick that they were fine in the end?

Good guy, this is really good guy!

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but fascinated.

"good!"

Meng Yi then said to everyone, "Everyone, everyone has witnessed these with their own eyes. I believe no one would suspect that the court had made a fraud, right?"

Um?

What else do you doubt?

Everyone thought, anyway, when we left, the train was really fast, and when we were in a daze, we could hardly see it!

Can this speed be faked?

"In fact, I can tell you again!"

Meng Yi pointed to the train and said, "This thing has only been traveling for ten miles. However, even if he traveled for a day and a night, his speed would not decrease at all!

Even if he pulls ten or ten times more food and grass, he will still pull hundreds of people in one breath, and his speed will not be reduced in slightest! But, this horse is different! If the horse is ten or twenty miles more, it will definitely not be possible for him to have a horse.

Run so fast! Everyone, this is the train!"

hiss!

When everyone heard Meng Yi's words, they were shocked again.

This train actually pulled ten times or dozens of times more food and grass, and even hundreds of people, the speed would not be reduced.

Is this too scary?

Then isn’t this truck more useful than a hundred horses?

This is too awesome!

"This railway will officially begin to pass tomorrow."

Meng Yi said to everyone, "No matter whoever wants to use this train, you can use it!

The court stipulated that no more than one stone of goods are required to be paid for, and the rest are paid for six jams. For every more than one stone, six jams will be required to pay for six jams!”

What?

It turns out that such a pay...

hiss……

This is a little bit uncheckable...

Of course, this money is naturally a money that is not very willing to spend for the people at the bottom of Xianyang.

However, for those with some financial resources, Liuzhu coins are only half of Qin Banliang.

One liang of Qin is twenty-four zhu, so half liang is twelve zhu coins.

People with family background will be completely fine if they pay many times.
