Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

“Public transportation system?”

Ying Zheng asked curiously.

According to his experience, as long as it is a new term proposed by Fusu, it is usually a new thing that is of great benefit to the country and the people.

And this public transportation system sounds very high-end.

“The so-called public transportation system, to put it bluntly, is the manned version of Daqin’s current freight logistics.”

“Nowadays, due to the vigorous development of business in Daqin, the logistics system is becoming more and more complete. Various freight carriage shops, canal shipping, and large shipping ships are developing very rapidly.”

“In some larger cities, there are also some ships or carriages specially designed to carry people, which set sail regularly or when they are full of passengers.”

“On the contrary, there is no effective system for transportation from the county town to the suburbs, or simply within the county town.”

“The reason is that although the number of herding horses in Daqin has increased a lot, due to the strong demand for freight, the supply of civilian herding horses is still in short supply, and the profits of short-distance transportation are also very low, and businessmen are unwilling to operate them.”

“If people want to reach dozens of miles away, they can only walk or squeeze into freight carriages, which is very inconvenient.”

“The emergence of bicycles and tricycles can greatly solve the traffic problem within a hundred miles. It only needs to divide an urban area and surrounding towns into points, and schedule 277 point-to-point departures.”

“The speed of this bicycle is not much inferior to that of a war horse, and it is also very agile. It can go on both major roads and small roads without worrying about traffic jams.”

“A three-wheeled bicycle is enough to carry several passengers or hundreds of kilograms of cargo. It not only has low operating costs, but is even more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage.”

“Moreover, this passenger and cargo tricycle can also form an emerging industry, allowing more people in Daqin to find jobs to make ends meet. Fusu explained with a smile.

“So good!

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said,”What’s the price of this bicycle?””

“At present, a two-wheeled bicycle costs about 50 yuan, and a three-wheeled bicycle costs around 100 yuan.”

“After large-scale production, the price can be reduced by 40%!”

“The price after the reduction will not exceed the monthly income of ordinary people, and it is already affordable.”

“Moreover, Erchen is planning to consider implementing a one-year free loan for the people of Daqin. Each household can have a quota to purchase bicycles in interest-free installments. If divided into twelve months, it will be even less stressful.

Fusu said with a smile:”For this monthly fee, even if you just go out a few times to pick up passengers or pull goods, you can make it back.””

“And if bicycles become popular, there is another good thing, that is, the number of horse-drawn carriages in the city will decrease accordingly.”

“The size of bicycles is much smaller than that of horse-drawn carriages. By then, it can greatly reduce the congestion in large cities such as Xianyang, and free up more horses to invest in freight logistics.”

“Fusu, you are thinking more and more thoughtfully!”

“This move will not only facilitate the travel of the people of Great Qin, but also add a means of increasing income for the people. It can be said to be a Mid-Autumn Festival gift to all the people of Great Qin! Ying

Zheng pondered for a moment and said:”Can the production capacity keep up, and if the installment payment is made, can the financial pressure be sustained?””

“Manufacturing a bicycle is actually not difficult. The more troublesome parts are mainly the springs, chains and bearings. The rest, even an ordinary blacksmith can get started quickly.”

“Based on the bicycle assembly line currently designed by the Engineering Institute, one assembly line can produce one hundred two-wheeled bicycles or seventy-three-wheeled bicycles a day, and ten production lines are planned to be put into operation in the first phase.”

“The second phase of hundreds of production lines is planned to be carried out in Liaodong, once again driving the industrial development of Liaodong County”

“As for myself, I only need to do a good job in advertising, and most businessmen and powerful people invest for their own reasons.”

After looking at Jiang Lu and others who were looking forward to it, Fusu smiled and said:”Don’t worry, after the production line is built, Brother Huang will give you a car each!”

The smile on Ying Zheng’s face became even stronger.

(baea) The country is rich and the people are strong, and the family is happy. This is definitely the best gift for Ying Zheng!

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people of Xianyang City discovered something new. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because the Imperial Guards responsible for patrolling Xianyang City and maintaining law and order were suddenly equipped with new equipment.

Each one of them was riding a weird two-wheeled vehicle, shuttling through the streets and alleys. They were not only extremely dexterous, but also very fast.

The people were immediately shocked

“What is this?”

“I just went up and asked, and they said it was called a bicycle, and it was a new invention of His Highness the Crown Prince.”[]

“The strange thing is that it can run on its own two wheels without the need for animals to pull it, and the speed is very fast!”

“And it’s so flexible. You see, there was a blockage in front of me, and the carriage couldn’t get through at all. But this bicycle was not affected at all!”

“Where can I buy this thing? I’ll get one too!”

“Yes, this car is much more convenient than a carriage!”

“Look, the newspaper said that this bicycle not only has two wheels, but also three wheels. It can not only pull goods, but also carry people!”

“Next month, Xianyang City will set up Daqin’s first passenger transport company. By then, hundreds of points will be set up in Xianyang City and surrounding towns. With only one dollar at most, you can travel all over Xianyang City in this car!”

“And the sale of bicycles will be open next month, with a maximum price of one hundred yuan, and the payment can be divided into twelve months!”

“What, so cheap?”

“This is great!”

At this time, not only the people, but also many officials were tempted.

Although the plans for Xianyang City and Xianyang New City were very forward, the development of Daqin was still too fast, so when the city gates were opened every morning and evening, There will be congestion.

Many officials will face an embarrassing problem when they go from Xianyang New City to the palace to attend the morning court.

That is how to avoid traffic jams and arrive in time and smoothly.

Being late for the court meeting is no joke.

However, the traffic jam is Things were completely unpredictable.

Many officials had no choice but to set off as early as possible.

Fortunately, Fusu proposed to postpone the time of going to court, otherwise the courtiers of Great Qin would really wake up earlier than the chickens.

And if there were such new bicycles that were not afraid of traffic jams, wouldn’t they not need to worry about traffic jams? Being able to sleep a little more every day would definitely be great news for courtiers who are generally quite old.

The newly invented bicycle quickly became popular throughout Xianyang City and spread to surrounding cities.
