    Chapter 262 Marriage

    After listening to Jin Shengman's words, Li Min also showed hesitation on his face. Although he was a little repelled from the bottom of his heart about political marriage or something, especially when the other party was a scheming woman like Jin Shengman, it made him feel unsure.  .  But if the other party really fights to the death, he will have to pay a big price, especially the loss of personnel, which is probably not small. And he has just started now, and it is the time when he needs manpower.  It is extremely precious and must not be wasted easily.

    While Li Min was weighing in his mind, his eyes kept staring at Jin Shengman, which made Jin Shengman feel a little uncomfortable. His face turned red and he looked away, not daring to look at Li Min. After all, no matter how strong she was,  She was just a woman, and she also took the initiative to propose a marriage with Li Min, which made her instinctively feel a little ashamed.

    "Okay, I agree to the marriage!" Li Min weighed it again and again, and finally said to Jin Shengman with a determined look on his face.  As soon as his words came out, Wu Meiniang immediately pouted with an unhappy face. With such a strong opponent, she would probably have a difficult life in the future.

    When Jin Shengman heard that Li Min had agreed to the marriage, a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face. His plan had finally succeeded. Although he had lost his life's happiness, the Queen of Silla could not marry in the first place. Now in  Under the crisis of destroying the country, she was able to convince many people to support her.  Besides, compared with the survival of the country, what do individual gains and losses count?

    "But I need to report this matter to my father and mother first. If they have no objections, this marriage can be truly established. Moreover, the position of the princess has been determined and cannot be given to you again." Li Min continued.  Marrying the Queen of Silla is not a trivial matter. Li Shimin and Concubine Yang must agree in advance. Moreover, the position of the concubine will always be Wenxin's and no one can take it away. He must explain this in advance.

    "No problem, I'm waiting for your reply!" Jin Shengman said calmly. Reporting to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a necessary process. She had already prepared for it, and she also knew that Li Min and the current Princess Qi had a very good relationship.  As a queen, she seemed noble, but in Li Min's eyes, she was nothing at all, and she still had her own ambitions.

    In this atmosphere of negotiation, the marriage of a man and a woman was actually confirmed, which made Li Min feel a little uncomfortable, and his eyes looking at Jin Shengman also had a strange look.  But he didn't come here just for the marriage, but there were more important things.

    "Okay, now that the marriage is settled, please give the child to me quickly!" Li Min said impatiently. Maybe he had a slight resistance to this marriage, so he didn't want to stay here for a moment.  , let alone see Jin Shengman again.

    "Your Highness, please wait!" Compared with Li Min's impatience, Jin Shengman's attitude towards him has changed greatly. His face no longer has the arrogance and rebelliousness before. Instead, he has become extremely respectful and treats Li Min.  There was no sign of resistance at all.

    After Jin Shengman finished speaking, he stood up and went into the bedroom. After a while, he took out a little baby girl about two months old.  Because the weather is getting hotter, the little baby girl is only wrapped in a thin blanket. She is sleeping soundly. Her pink and tender face is chubby and she looks extremely cute.

    Li Min carefully took the baby girl from Jin Shengman's hand. This was his biological sister. However, she lost her mother just after she was born, and her father was thousands of miles away. The closest person to her was probably herself.  It's my brother's.  Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but feel a protective desire as an elder brother.

    "Thank you for taking care of my little sister during this time!" Li Min smiled and raised his head and said to Jin Shengman.  The little baby girl's face was healthy and rosy, and she could tell that she was well cared for. This made Li Min feel more grateful to Jin Shengman, and even softened her tone of voice.

    "Noyou're welcome!" This was the first time Jin Shengman saw Li Min being so gentle to him. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but when he thought about giving away the child he had taken care of for so long, his face showed  A look of reluctance.  After all, since the cousin passed away, the child's affairs have been made public in Silla. In order to protect the child's safety, Jin Shengman has always taken her with him. It can be said that she has long been regarded as his own child, but now she  But she had to send her child away, how could she be willing to do so?

    Li Min kissed his sister's pink cheek, which made the sleeping little guy a little dissatisfied. He waved his chubby little hand, turned his face and went back to sleep.  Li Min felt very interesting when he saw it, and suddenly thought of a question, he raised his head and asked Jin Shengman again: "By the way, does my little sister have a name?"

    Although Jin Shengman felt reluctant to give up, when he heard Li Min¡¯s question, he cheered up and replied: ¡°Before my cousin passed away, she named this child Sitang!¡±

    "Sitang?" Li Min was startled after hearing this. Although it was just a simple name, the deep affection contained in it was enough to make him feel moved. Unexpectedly, that personThe former Queen of Silla was actually an infatuated woman, but it was a pity that she was jealous of beauty and died at a young age.  However, Li Min thought about it again and felt that the other party was a blessed person. After all, if she had been alive, she would have watched him destroy her country and then send her to Chang'an, which would probably make her even more miserable.  pain.

    Jin Shengman's purpose of coming to Dengzhou had been achieved, so the day after Li Min came back, she immediately took a boat back to Silla. After all, they were still in the middle of a war with Baekje, but before she went back, she got Li Min.  One of Xin's promises is to suspend trade with Baekje. With this support, although Silla cannot turn over immediately, they at least have some advantages. I believe they can regain the lost territory soon, and wait for Li  After Min and Jin Shengman's marriage is truly confirmed, Li Min will give greater support to Silla, but the Silla then will no longer be the Silla now.

    After sending Jin Shengman away, although Li Min was eager to return home and wanted to leave for Chang'an right away, there was still one thing to do before leaving, but it was not troublesome and did not take much time.  .

    At the east gate of Dengzhou City, Li Min was standing there with a group of people. Among them, the four princes Li Ke, Li Yun and Li Zhen were there. In addition, Lu Hong and Zhao Fu were also accompanying them. In front of them,  There are two parallel railway tracks. Next to Li Min, there is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old standing, holding a drawing and discussing something with Li Min.

    "Your Highness, please see, a railway track has been laid, from the east gate to the port not far away. It is ten miles one way. And at the current speed of the train, it takes half an hour to complete one trip, and one round trip takes exactly an hour  ¡­¡±

    Zhao Yifan pointed to the route on the drawing and explained the newly born train to Li Min in detail.  Li Min calculated in his mind while listening. He walked ten miles in half an hour. Ten miles is about five kilometers in later generations. After calculation, the speed of this train is only 5 kilometers per hour. Think about the maglev trains in later generations that can reach a speed of nearly a thousand kilometers per hour.  It's literally the difference between a snail and a cheetah.

    Although I am a little dissatisfied with the speed of the train, this is the first train in the world after all. It is good to have such speed. Although a child can run faster than it, at least the load of this thing is not small. It can be carried at one time  It pulls six carriages, but if the carriages are full of people or objects, the speed will drop again.

    "Yifan, how long do we have to wait for the train to come back?" After listening to Yifan's introduction to the original train, Li Min couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful. After all, as long as the train appears, the steam engine ship will not be far away.  , and as long as there are steam engines and ships, ocean trade will definitely have an unprecedented explosion period, and that will be the best time for him to expand outward.

    "Your Highness, don't worry. In order to test the performance of the train, the train will run non-stop between Dengzhou and the port every morning. During this period, if anyone wants to get on the train, they can get on it at any time. Everything is still free, but we will test it in the future.  After completion, there will probably be a fee. The train has been leaving for more than half an hour now, and it is expected to be back soon!" Zhao Yifan said with a smile.  As someone who designed steam engines and trains, Yifan is very proud, but what she hopes to design most is a steam engine ship.

    While the two were talking, suddenly there was a mechanical roar in the distance, and the sound was very regular, and it didn't sound harsh.  When they heard this voice, not only did Li Min and Yifan stop talking, but Li Ke and others next to them also turned their heads and looked around.

    Compared with Li Min, Li Ke, Li Yun, and Li Zhen only knew that there was a new object for them to visit, but Li Min didn't say what it was, but when they saw the two railway tracks on the ground, they felt very  surprised.  Although the promotion of coke and new steel-making methods has greatly increased the steel output of Datang, it is not luxurious enough to pave the road with steel, right?  For this reason, Li Ke also scolded Li Min. After all, laying such a long railway track would cost a lot of steel.  But Li Min smiled and was not in a hurry to explain.

    The roar of the train was getting closer and closer, but the tracks passed through a forest in front of them, so Li Min and the others could not see the true appearance of the train at all. They could only see clouds of black smoke above the forest.  It kept spurting out, and it looked like there was some beast moving slowly inside.

    "Woo~" With a long whistle, a train that kept spewing black smoke finally rushed out of the woods. Although the shape of the train looked very strange to Li Min, the head seemed to be a big rectangular head.  The box and the wheels underneath are also a bit slender, but overall, they are still somewhat similar to later trains.

    "Wow~, Sixth Brother, what is this guy? Why can't you see the horses pulling the cart?" Li Zhen was immediately frightened when he saw this huge creature running on the railway track, but he was from the Tang Dynasty after all.  Prince, at least you can still maintain your demeanor, but you still have to be patient.He took a few steps back and asked Li Min. Li Ke and Li Yun next to him had similar reactions, and they all looked at Li Min.
