Li Shimin and his companions were also curious about what was inside.
The soft sleeper has only two floors, just like two bunk beds in a small private room. The width of the window and the space above and below are actually quite good.
"Hey! This is interesting! You can sleep in the car." Princess Gaoyang sat down to experience it.
The two little princesses also jumped onto the bed.
"Hehe~" The little princess was very satisfied with this.
This private room is for Xiao Ran and his friends, while Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are in the next room.
It's not the peak tourist season, so there aren't many people.
There was no one else in Li Shimin's Empress Zhangsun's private room.
The two of them are just right.
"You can't sleep when the RV is moving, but you can here." Princess Yuzhang took a look.
"The RV might brake suddenly, change lanes, or have other emergencies. Trains are generally not very stable." Xiao Ran looked at Li Shimin, "Uncle, do you want to try a plane when you go back?"
"That's not necessary!" Li Shimin felt insecure and uneasy in heaven.
"Uncle, the safest means of transportation is airplanes. Cars have the highest accident rate. Planes have a low accident rate and generally don't get into accidents... But if a plane crashes, there's really no chance of survival."
"So forget it!" Li Shimin didn't want to try the plane.
It's not a good feeling to have no control and leave everything to fate.
Li Shimin didn't like this situation.
Xiao Ran didn't say anything and returned to his private room. There was not much luggage for them, so Princess Gao Yang climbed directly onto the upper bunk and lay down.
The two little princesses looked at it and wanted to go up too.
"Mingda, second sister, we can just stay downstairs." Xiao Ran pointed to the lower bunk.
The two little princesses are young and it is unsafe for them to climb up and down.
The two little princesses were happy to hear that Xiao Ran was also in the lower bunk.
Princess Yuzhang tactfully went to the upper bunk on the other side.
Lie down directly, "It's quite comfortable."
Princess Gaoyang pointed to the window and said, "It's great to be able to see the scenery outside!"
The two little princesses took off their shoes and rolled around 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 ride out and have a look. If the young master doesn't drive, then he won't be too tired."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Actually, there are pros and cons. Trains don't require driving, but the routes are fixed and you don't have the right to choose. Driving allows you to choose where you want to go and stop whenever you want. Self-driving tours offer more freedom, but the cost is higher."
"Then we can 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 little princess was also staring 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 everyone sleeps on the train?"
"No, this is a soft sleeper, and there are also hard sleeper tickets. Most tickets are seated, and there are also standing tickets."
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Li Lizhi asked in surprise: "Standing room tickets?"
"Yes!"
"I remember saying before that trains are a conflict. Can you stand for a long time?"
"It's unbearable, but there's nothing I can do. It's much better now. For example, it used to take three days to get from Gucheng to Caohai. There was no direct train, so I had to transfer. If I couldn't buy a ticket during the Spring Festival travel rush, I had to stand."
"During the Spring Festival travel rush, the aisles are packed with people, and at night you find there's nowhere to stay."
"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?”
"Brother, have you ever felt it?" asked Princess Yuzhang.
"Well, I was still young at that time, and the trains were slow. I had to carry luggage when I went on a long trip..." Many years have passed, but Xiao Ran still remembers it clearly.
At that time, it felt like time was so long, and every day felt so long...
"I can't sleep. Let's go check out other places. There shouldn't be more than just soft sleeper accommodations here, right?" Princess Gaoyang also wanted to check out other places.
"Both hard sleeper and seat tickets are available. Do you want to go, Mingda, my second sister?"
"Let's go~" Xiao Ran was going, so the little princess naturally couldn't be left behind.
"I'll go ask my grandparents." Li Lizhi stood up.
On the other side, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were also very excited. They sat on the lower bunk and looked outside.
"Grandpa and Mom!"
"Why are you here, girl?" Empress Changsun smiled.
"How does Auntie feel?"
"Very good, no bumps at all."
Li Shimin also said: "It is much more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage. It would be great if the Tang Dynasty also had it. I wonder if such a thing can be realized in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin did not need access to all parts of the country, as long as it was available in major cities.
It is used to facilitate people’s travel and economic transactions in peacetime, and is mainly used for war preparedness.
For example, it is very necessary to connect Chang'an City to the Western Regions.
It's not just the army, it's also about transporting supplies.
Li Shimin didn't dare to think that transporting supplies would save a lot of time and effort.
"Ask the young master about this. The cost of investing in these things is probably extremely high." Li Lizhi was also unsure.
"The rewards are also high, so if it can be done, I really think I can give it a try." Li Shimin thought about it.
"Grandpa, other parts of the train are different. Do you want to go and see? There are not only sleeper berths, but also sitting..."
After hearing what Li Lizhi said, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun also prepared to go and take a look.
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 seat area." Xiao Ran suddenly thought of this. Those with seat tickets are not allowed to go to the sleeper area.
"Can't?" asked Princess Yuzhang.
"The sleeper berths and the seated tickets are separated by a restaurant. I'll ask the staff and discuss it with them. If they don't agree, it probably won't work. I'll just have to wander around here."
"It's the place where seven people eat~"
"There's a restaurant here?" Princess Gaoyang didn't expect this either.
"Yes, there are."
Princess Yuzhang nodded and said, "I'll go ask later to see if it's possible."
Princess Yuzhang is better at negotiating with staff.
A few people quickly walked to the restaurant. It had just been opened and no one was eating there.
The middle door was locked, so I couldn't get through.
The price difference between seat tickets and sleeper tickets is quite large, and if people are allowed to walk, it will be very chaotic 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, maybe because she is a foodie!
The conductor and Princess Yuzhang should be back soon.
The conductor was in his early 30s, slightly plump, and looked very kind.
Looking at Li Shimin and Xiao Ran and others.
"Normally, you're not allowed in, so come back early. Weiyang will call me and I'll open the door."
“Okay, thank you, sister!”
"Sister Crab Crab Piao Niang~"
