Guo Jia left Dawan, and the further he went, the closer he was to Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the more he felt the change.

Like furniture.

Five years ago, people were still used to sitting on their knees, with only a mat under their knees. All furniture is extremely short, very uncomfortable under prolonged sitting, and easily tired.

Now, it is said that it is a style of furniture handed down from the Great Han Palace. There are tables, chairs, and something called a sofa. The bed has also become higher, making it much more comfortable whether to sit or lie down.

such as books.

Originally, most of the books of the great Han were carved from bamboo slips, stroke by stroke. Later, the price of paper was reduced, and handwriting was changed to paper.

But now, the emperor seems to have used some kind of "block printing technique", books are printed on paper instead, and the price is almost a hundred times lower than before!

Not only that, these books also use something called "punctuation marks" for sentence reading.

Even enlightenment books have "pinyin" marked pronunciation.

There are even bookstores specializing in books in the city. Even ordinary people have the possibility of reading 24.

In addition, there are glasses to correct vision, abacus to help with arithmetic, new farm tools such as building cars and shovels, toothbrushes and toothpaste to help clean teeth, toilet paper for toilets, toilets in the room... and so on.

Adding up these series of changes, what appeared in front of Guo Jia was a relatively highly civilized society.

Guo Jia originally felt that the Rome and Anxi where he lived in the past few years were not as prosperous as the Han Dynasty, but they were still prosperous.

Now he found that Rome and the rest, compared to the big man, are simply a backcountry and a wild place!

Today's big Han is a veritable kingdom of heaven and kingdom, and it is difficult for all countries in the world to match!

God, five years, in just five years, how could Dahan have made such a big change?

Thinking of the rest and Rome, they have worked hard in the past five years, but why is the gap between them and the big Han getting bigger and bigger?

Guo Jia thought about it from left to right, and he can only attribute it to Liu Zhao, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

You must know that before the emperor Liu Zhao ascended the throne, the development speed of the big Han was like that of Parthia and Rome, and no obvious progress could be seen for a long time, and even sometimes regressed.

After Liu Zhao ascended the throne, the development of Dahan changed with each passing day. Today, Dahan is stronger than ever.

What Guo Jia didn't expect is that what he sees now is still the tip of the iceberg of Dahan, and he still underestimates Dahan's strength!

On this day, Guo Jia arrived in Chang'an.

Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, second only to Luoyang in terms of prosperity.

Guo Jia now holds the post of deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and he is a big boss among Jinyiwei. Of course, Chang'an Jinyiwei leader Fu Changyou will flatter him.

"Guo's envoy from Chang'an to Luoyang does not need to take a four-wheeled carriage. With the honor of our Jinyiwei, I have arranged a train carriage for you.

When it came to arranging a train carriage, Fu Changyou was shy and blushing, as if it was a great thing.

It's a pity that Guo Jia doesn't even know what a train is, and has no idea how difficult it is!

Guo Jia wondered: "A train? What is a train? A burning car or a fire-breathing car?"

I dare not even see the train, Commander Guo!

While secretly rolling his eyes, Fu Changyou quickly explained, "Uh... the so-called train is a kind of vehicle, it doesn't need cattle and horses, it just needs to burn coal to travel, and it is much more powerful than cattle horses and can be pulled There are many more people and goods.

"You don't need cattle and horses, you just need to burn coal to move forward? Can you pull goods better than cattle and horses?" Is the carriage strong?"

"Much stronger! The train is much smoother and faster than the carriage! The most important thing is that it can be pulled much more, and it takes hundreds or thousands of carriages to be equivalent to a train.

This is even more unreliable, Guo Jia was full of suspicion, and followed Fu Changyou to the train station.

When he got to the place, Guo Jia understood the difficulty of arranging an empty carriage.

Good guy, the huge Chang'an Railway Station is crowded with people. A rough estimate put the number at nearly 10,000.

"What kind of train do these people come to take?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

"Not all of them." Fu Changyou said: "Some people are here to take people on the train, and take a look at the rare ones. It is estimated that there are only four or five thousand people who really come to take this train."

"Four or five thousand people. That's not a lot. How many trains would it take to get them out?"

"How many? These people are just two trains. One train can hold two thousand people, if you try hard to transport it, there will be more than five thousand people. It's just that the tickets are divided into three, six, and nine classes, so you need to be careful. Comfortable, a single train can transport more than 2,000 people. Now, I will show you the train and you will understand."5

Under the guidance of Fu Changyou, Guo Jia came to a train parked on the rails. 880

Only then did Guo Jia understand that the train was a locomotive with twenty-four carriages.

If a train carries 100 people, doesn't it mean 2,000 people?

But the question is, if there are no cows and horses, how does this thing move? Could it be some kind of magic?

Fu Changyou seemed to see Guo Jia's doubts and said, "The train runs fast, and it all depends on the locomotive belt. Inside the locomotive, there is a machine called a steam engine. As long as coal is filled, the machine will turn and bring the on the train.""

"Steam engine... coal...!

To be honest, until now, Guo Jia only understands that this train is indeed propelled by coal, not some kind of magic. How to push it, he couldn't imagine anyway.

However, the more this is the case, the more shocked Guo Jia is!

He pondered to himself: This train is like a miracle, and even with my talents, Guo Jia Guo Feng Xiao, it is difficult for me to understand the mystery. It seems that the development of Dahan during the five years I was away was really remarkable. Even I, Guo Jia, couldn't keep up.

Pity that Roman emperor, still thinking of wrestling arms with my big man based on his hard work over the past few years, he is really arrogant and stupid!
