Chapter 576
Li Shimin and his companions were also curious about what it was like inside.
The soft sleeper only had two layers, like two bunk beds in a small private room. The width of the window and the upper and lower space were actually quite good.
"Hey! This is interesting! You can sleep on the train." Princess Gaoyang sat down to feel it.
The two little princesses also threw themselves on the bed.
"Hee hee~" The little princesses were very satisfied with this.
This private room was for Xiao Ran and his companions, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were next door.
It was not the peak tourist season, so there were not many people.
There was no one else in Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's private room.
It was just right for two people.
"You can't sleep when the RV is moving, but you can sleep here." Princess Yuzhang took a look.
"The RV may brake suddenly, change lanes, or have other emergencies, but the train generally won't, it's very stable." Xiao Ran looked at Li Shimin, "Uncle, do you want to try the plane when you go back?"
"No need!" Li Shimin felt insecure and uneasy in the sky.
"Uncle, the safest means of transportation is airplanes. Cars have the highest accident rate. Planes have a low accident rate and generally don't have accidents... But if a plane crashes, there is really no chance of survival."
"So forget it!" Li Shimin didn't want to try the plane.
It's not a good feeling to be out of control and leave everything to fate.
Li Shimin didn't like this state.
Xiao Ran didn't say anything and returned to his private room. There wasn't much luggage for several people, so Princess Gaoyang climbed directly to the upper bunk and lay down.
The two little princesses looked at it and wanted to go up too.
"Mingda, second sister, we can go downstairs." Xiao Ran pointed to the lower bunk.
The two little princesses were young and it was unsafe to climb up and down.
Hearing that Xiao Ran was also on the lower bunk, the two little princesses were happy.
Princess Yuzhang went to the upper bunk on the other side tactfully.
She lay down directly, "It's quite comfortable."
Princess Gaoyang pointed to the window, "You can still see the scenery outside, it's great!"
The two little princesses took off their shoes and rolled on the bed.
Li Lizhi sat on the bed on the other side and looked out the window.
"Actually, it's good to take this and go out for a look. If the young master doesn't drive, he won't be too tired."
Xiao Ran nodded, "Actually, there are pros and cons. You don't need to drive on the train, but the routes are fixed and you don't have the right to choose. You can choose where to go and stop whenever you want. Self-driving tours are more free, but the price you pay is higher."
"Then take turns. You can choose to drive or take the train." Princess Yuzhang also poked her head out.
After a few people chatted for a while, the train began to move slowly.
"It's moving!" Princess Gaoyang was slightly excited.
The two little princesses also stared straight out the window.
"Hehe~ Fun~"
"Okay, it's time to go to bed." Xiao Ran looked at the two little princesses.
"I can't sleep now." Princess Yuzhang looked at Xiao Ran, "Brother, is this how you sleep on the train?"
"No, this is a soft sleeper, and there are also hard sleepers. Most of the tickets are sitting tickets, and there are standing tickets."
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Li Lizhi said in surprise: "Standing tickets?"
"Right!"
"I remember saying before that the train is a long-distance train, can you stand standing for a long time?"
"You can't stand it, but there's nothing you can do. It's much better now. For example, it took three days to go from Gucheng to Caohai before. There was no direct train, so you had to transfer. If you couldn't buy a ticket during the Spring Festival, you had to stand."
"During the Spring Festival, it was packed, and the aisles were full of people. At night, you found that there was no place to rest."
"You can only find a place to lean on. You can't even sit on the ground. There's no place."
"Can you imagine that situation?"
"Brother, have you ever felt it?" Princess Yuzhang asked.
"Well, I was still young at that time, and the trains were slow at that time. I had to bring luggage when I went far away..." Many years later, Xiao Ran still remembered it vividly.
At that time, time felt very long, and a day was very long...
"I can't sleep, let's go see other places. There shouldn't be only soft sleepers here, right?" Princess Gaoyang also wanted to see other places.
"There are hard sleepers and seat tickets. Do you want to go, second sister Mingda?"
"Let's go~" Xiao Ran was going, so the little princess couldn't be left behind.
"I'll go ask Grandpa and Mom." Li Lizhi stood up.
On the other side, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were also very excited. The two of them sat on the lower bunk and looked outside.
"Grandpa and Mom!"
"Why did the girl come here?" Empress Changsun smiled.
"How does Mom feel?"
"Very good, no bumps."
Li Shimin also said: "It's much more comfortable than a carriage. It would be great if there were also in the Tang Dynasty. I don't know if this kind of thing can be realized in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin doesn't need to be connected to all parts of the country, as long as there are in major cities.
It is convenient for people to travel on weekdays, and it is economical.Economic transactions are mainly for war preparation.
For example, it is very necessary for Chang'an City to go to the Western Regions.
Not only the army, but also the transportation of materials.
Li Shimin did not dare to think that it would save time and effort to transport materials.
"Ask the young master about this. These things are estimated to require a very high cost." Li Lizhi was not sure.
"The return is also high, so if it can be done, I think I can try it." Li Shimin thought about it.
"Grandpa, other places on the train are different. Do you want to go and see? Not only the sleeper, but also the sitting..."
Hearing Li Lizhi say this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also prepared to go and see.
Several people walked out of the private room, and the two little princesses and Xiao Ran also came out.
"It seems that we can't go to the ticket area." Xiao Ran suddenly thought of this matter. Those with tickets are not allowed to go to the sleeper area.
"Can't?" Princess Yuzhang asked.
"There is a restaurant between the sleeper and the seat. When the time comes, ask the staff and discuss it with them. If they don't agree, it's probably not possible. You can only walk around here."
"It's the place where Qifan has a meal~"
"There is a restaurant here?" Princess Gaoyang didn't expect it.
"Yes, there is."
Princess Yuzhang nodded, "I'll ask later to see if it's possible."
Princess Yuzhang is better at negotiating with the staff.
Several people quickly walked to the restaurant. It was just started not long ago, and no one is eating now.
The middle door was locked, and it was indeed impossible to go through.
The price difference between the seat ticket and the sleeper ticket is a bit big. If you are allowed to go, it will be very messy and inconvenient to manage.
"I'll go ask." Princess Yuzhang walked away.
The two little princesses sat down at the dining table.
"Sizi, you don't want to eat, do you?" Princess Gaoyang asked with a smile.
"No~" The little princess prefers places like restaurants, probably because she is a little foodie!
The conductor and Princess Yuzhang should be back soon.
The conductor was in his early 30s, slightly plump, and looked very kind.
He looked at Li Shimin and Xiao Ran.
"Normally, you are not allowed to go through, so come back early. Weiyang will call me and I will open the door."
"Okay, thank you sister!"
"Xie Xie Piao Niang sister~"
