Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

“I’m afraid most of the people in Xianyang City have come here, right?”

Atop the majestic train station clock tower, which is several feet high, Nestern couldn’t help but blurt out as he looked at the long line of people filling the entire square and the surrounding areas for miles.

“This fully shows that the people of Daqin do not like to travel, but there are no conditions for them to travel.”

“The emergence of bicycles has allowed people’s footprints to directly extend from a few miles around their homes to dozens of miles away.”

“The emergence of trains will extend the distance from dozens of miles to hundreds or even thousands of miles.”

“Once it is truly realized, our business in Daqin will be greatly improved again.”

“However, such a huge movement of people cannot be accomplished by horse-drawn carriages or even steam cars. Only trains can do it. Fusu said with a slight smile.

“Everything about this train is good, but the cost is too high, and the state treasury is really powerless! Nestern sighed helplessly.

It’s not that he doesn’t support trains and railways, it’s just that they can’t build them for many miles.

“The prince has his own arrangements for the cost of railway construction.”10″ And the speed at which this train recovers its cost is actually much faster than you think.”

“If a train is full, it can carry more than 1,500 people at a time.”

“One round trip is 2,000 people!”

“Moreover, a railway can run multiple trucks at the same time. For example, if there are ten trains an hour and six hours a day, that is almost 100,000 passengers.”

“Even if a ticket only costs one yuan, the annual income is a full 36 million yuan!”

“Not to mention the economic growth driven by such a large flow of people and the increase in tax revenue.”

Fusu said with a faint smile.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

As the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng always looked at things from a perspective that was above that of the entire Qin Dynasty.

Although simply calculating the railway, it would take at least ten years, or even It lasted for decades.

But if you include the economic growth driven by railways, it would be completely different.

And this is only the economic level, the military and political significance is even more important.

Not to mention more, a train It can carry more than a thousand fully armed soldiers, and a hundred trains are equivalent to an army of 100,000.

As long as the railway is built throughout Da Qin, Da Qin’s elite army can easily take a train and reach any corner of Da Qin from Xianyang City.

This is definitely the foundation for consolidating the centralization of the Qin Dynasty and realizing Ying Zheng’s dream of an eternal empire.

Above the station square, the sharp-eyed people discovered Ying Zheng, Fu Su and others on the bell tower, and there was a burst of cheers.

Nowadays, the Qin State is rich and powerful, and the people’s lives are countless times better than before. The centripetal force towards the Qin Dynasty has also reached an unprecedented level.

The prestige of Fusu and Ying Zheng has also increased unprecedentedly.

“As expected, His Majesty and His Royal Highness are both here. I hope I can get a chance to test ride on the first train. I can boast about it for a long time when I go back.”

“Don’t count on it. It would be great if you can grab a test ride ticket today.”

“I arrived half an hour earlier than you, and there were at least a few hundred people in front of me!”

“Whoever grabs the first train ticket in front of you, I am willing to pay ten yuan to buy your trial ticket!”

“Five yuan is too little, I’ll pay ten yuan!”

“Fifteen dollars!”

Many late arrivals simply paid high prices to buy them.

The price of test ride tickets has been rising all the way, and the highest one actually quoted a figure of one hundred yuan.

Not to mention the common people, even many businessmen were stunned.

Want to I know that for ordinary jobs in Daqin today, the daily wages are only about two yuan. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This is enough to buy more than one stone of food on the market.

But now, it is only about two yuan. It is the first railway to be put into trial operation. It is less than a hundred miles long. How can a trial ticket be fetched such a price?

And there are not many people willing to sell it?

In addition to showing that there are more and more wealthy people in Daqin. In addition, it also fully shows that the future of this railway is really bright!

After a while, all the trial ride tickets were sold out. The doors of the train station opened one after another, and people who were lucky enough to grab the trial ride tickets began to enter the station one after another..

It also included one of the few remaining Confucian scholars, the original court official Chunyu Yue.

The last time he saw a steam car with his own eyes, it opened Chun Yuyue’s horizons and made him feel inferior.

But soon, another article appeared in the newspaper. More astonishing news has emerged.

That is, steam cars are just the starting point. Daqin will soon build a larger and more powerful steam train.

And the carrying capacity of a steam train can reach a hundred times and a thousand times that of a steam car.[]

This made Chun Yuyue, who had already begun to accept science and technology, a little unbelievable.

It’s really an exaggeration.

Steam cars are already capable of carrying thousands of kilograms of cargo without any effort.

Beyond steam vehicles, wouldn’t the carrying capacity be millions of pounds?

Compared with the giants on the sea like the Great Qin Treasure Ship, it is not inferior at all. Even a small mountain can be transported away.

Moreover, the railway the train runs on has to pass through the Qinling Mountains, which stretches for thousands of miles and is thousands of feet high, until it reaches Luoyang City.

This is far beyond Chun Yuyue’s imagination.

Chunyu Yue almost thought he was listening to a fairy tale. 703 Subconsciously, Chunyu Yue thought that Fusu had gone crazy studying science and technology.

Especially after hearing how much the railway cost.

Chunyu Yue further strengthened his thoughts, feeling that Fusu had completely ignored the actual situation of Da Qin and was drifting.

Therefore, Chunyu Yue traveled around, contacted many officials who also had doubts about the railway, and began to write to the First Emperor, hoping to suspend such a huge and exhausting project like the railway.

The result was no response.

Although Chunyu Yue and others were dissatisfied, they had nothing to do.

Nowadays, Fusu has become a trend, and its influence is no less than that of the First Emperor, but it is not something they can shake.

Then I received the news that Daqin’s first steam train was going to be put into trial operation, and trial ride quotas were open.

I have witnessed this huge crowd of people.

At this time, even Chun Yuyue couldn’t help but have an extra thought.

With Fusu’s style, he dares to conduct such a public trial operation. Could it be that this train and railway can really be realized?

Chunyu Yue followed the crowd to check in and entered the station with complicated emotions. He passed through the waiting room and entered the platform. Then he saw the mighty steel beast like a long dragon.

Chunyu Yue was immediately stunned..
