Chapter 443: The Wind Gallops the Officer
Everyone looked at Su Yuehan in surprise, full of anticipation.
Su Yuehan smiled slightly: "You are also concerned about chaos, just thinking of teleportation, but you can't think of another way to arrive quickly." ”
Ouyang Nan slapped his head and suddenly said, "Ah, I know! You mean...... Guan Zhidao?"
Su Yuehan nodded: "Yes!"
Li Chengfeng, Zhao Xiaobao, Dasha and the others were all confused, and Li Chengfeng was puzzled: "What kind of official straight road? No matter how straight the road is, it will be thousands of thousands of miles! Even if you can fly, it will take several days to fly over, right? Moreover, can any of you fly? Even if some of you can fly, these descendants of the Huangfu Song family can't fly!"
Tianjun laughed and said, "Senior Brother Chengfeng, do you know, this official straight road, also known as the official gallop road, can travel two thousand miles a day at the fastest by sitting in the carriage on the official gallop road. ”
Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Two thousand miles a day? Don't be kidding, what kind of horse-drawn cart is this?"
Ouyang Nan said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chengfeng, it seems that you haven't sat down?"
Li Chengfeng was stunned and said, "Have you ever sat down?"
Ouyang Nan shook his head and said, "No, but I've seen it." ”
Li Chengfeng was skeptical: "Can you really do two thousand miles a day?"
Ouyang Nan thought for a while and said, "One day and one night, even if there are no two thousand miles, there are one thousand eight or nine." ”
Li Chengfeng gasped, and secretly said in his heart: What kind of fucking carriage is this? This, this is about to catch the green train!
But when Li Chengfeng and the others went to the south of the city and arrived at the post station on Guanzhidao, Li Chengfeng was suddenly stunned and dumbfounded!
This, this, this...... Isn't this a fucking railroad!!
, this, this is black technology!!
What appeared in front of Li Chengfeng's eyes was an authentic railway, with four rails on both sides, sleepers in the middle of the rails, gravel between sleepers, and fine sand between gravel and gravel.
In front of the carriage were eight horses of great height, each two meters high at the shoulders, four in front of them, and four in the back, and they were tied with extremely thick and strong ropes, which connected the first carriage behind them, and this carriage connected the carriage behind them one by one.
Li Chengfeng no longer had the heart to observe what the carriage behind him looked like, but this kind of horse-drawn "railway train" shocked him.
Although this railway is a little different from the railway in his memory in his previous life, the railway in his previous life memory is double-tracked, and this railway has four tracks in order to increase the horsepower of pulling, and each carriage has eight wheels under it, the outermost four, and the middle four, which are firmly stuck on the track.
Because this kind of horse is extremely tall, not only tall, long, but also has extremely wide shoulders, with a saddle and stirrups, it has a width of nearly one meter, and four horses are lined up, even if there is no gap in the middle, it occupies a width of four meters, and the width of four meters only uses two rails, and the middle of the carriage is likely to break in the gallop, therefore, the construction of this rail and the manufacture of the carriage are what Li Chengfeng saw with his eyes: there are five meters between the gauges!
Each of the seven carriages is about eight meters long, and the wheels are all made of iron.
Ouyang Nan patted Li Chengfeng's shoulder, smiled, and said: "This is the Guanchi Road, this Chi Road was built when Emperor Taizu was in power, and every year just for maintenance, it is a sea of gold and silver! Therefore, if you want to sit on this Guanchi Road, the price is not cheap! It's not that a poor ghost like us can afford to sit down!"
Li Chengfeng looked at Ouyang Nan angrily: "Haven't you ever sat down, we are poor ghosts, but you are not!"
Ouyang Nan smiled bitterly: "When I sit, I was only ten years old, and my family was okay at that time, how can it be like now...... Forget it, don't mention it, hurry to the old fellow and ask for money! I see, this carriage will depart in half an hour, and if I miss it, I will have to wait for tomorrow!"
Tianjun also said: "That's right, this Chidao carriage is only one train a day, and we are fortunate to catch up!"
Zhao Xiaobao frowned and said, "Can the old housekeeper pay this money?"
Li Chengfeng sneered: "As long as this old thing wants to calculate us, he will definitely pay this money! Moreover, for us, this money is a lot, and for Huangfu Song, this money is ...... I'm afraid it's not much. ”
Sure enough, when the old housekeeper heard it, he just smiled slightly, called Weiping, took out a small bag from his cuff, handed it to her, and said, "You go to register and buy tickets quickly, don't delay the trip." ”
Li Chengfeng and the others quickly exchanged a look with each other, and knew in their hearts: This old thing really didn't have a good heart!
When the military force of the Great Qi was prosperous to the extreme, Emperor Taizu poured the strength of the whole country to create eight official gallop roads leading to the southeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest, etc., each official gallop road is like the arteries and blood vessels in the empire of this territory to be incredibly large, with this kind of relaxation, you can quickly transport a large number of materials from south to north, from east to west!
This is also one of the important reasons why Emperor Taizu was able to conquer many steppe empires: once a war starts, this empire can instantly recruit hundreds of thousands of troops, and it can reach thousands of miles away within a week! At the same time, a large amount of materials, grain and grass can also be continuously supplied through the official road.
After Li Chengfeng boarded this kind of horse-drawn train, he didn't have the heart to look at the exquisite carvings and accessories and expensive furniture in the train, he sat in the soft sofa-like seat, swayed the window with his hand, and sighed: "To build such a majestic road, Emperor Taizu...... What a great emperor, wise and martial!"
Tianjun sat next to Li Chengfeng, he bowed slightly, his eyes showed admiration, and said: "Even if you are a cultivator, there are very few people who don't admire Emperor Taizu." Although it is said that the imperial family is not allowed to practice, Emperor Taizu's majesty and strategy are enough to make all cultivators in the world surrender. Otherwise, when the national teacher was always far away, how could he worship Taizu as the king and be willing to be a minister?"
This kind of carriage is slightly different from the train that Li Chengfeng took in his previous life, although it is also divided into rows, but the seat space and space are very spacious, focusing on comfort and freedom, the whole carriage can easily and spaciously sit ten people, if you squeeze it, you can sit down twenty people. The floor of the carriage is covered with a thick velvet blanket, and the table is also covered with woolen wool.
After a while, a brass bell rang on the platform of the inn, and after a burst of sound, eight whips rang out in front of the carriage, and then the horses began to walk slowly, and after a while they gradually increased in speed, and then galloped all the way, and the carriage made the sound of Gerden Gerden on the tracks, and galloped away.
Li Chengfeng sat by the window, feeling the wind blowing on his forehead, and he was extremely emotional: I can't think of it...... In your lifetime, can you re-experience the taste of your previous life?
He was thinking about it, when he suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned his head to Ouyang Nan and said, "You say...... Will the old butler do anything on this carriage? This track is fixed, and it is very good for ambush, isn't it just a hit?"
Ouyang Nan laughed: "Give him eight guts, he will definitely not dare!"
Li Chengfeng was puzzled: "Why?"
Ouyang Nan said with a smile: "Attacking, stealing, and destroying Guanchi Dao, this is a serious crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan! The Huangfu family will definitely not dare to do this! This old housekeeper will attack us on Guanchi Road unless he is crazy." ”
Li Chengfeng relaxed a little and continued to feel this strange experience and taste.
Zhao Xiaobao, Han Tianxing and others are naturally dirt buns, where have they seen such an interesting carriage, they sat by the window one by one, pointing and shouting.
Li Chengfeng looked at this for an hour, and then suddenly asked: "Won't the horses pulling the cart get tired? What if they run in a different rhythm?"
Tianjun laughed and said: "Look at the sleepers on this railroad track, the distance between them is precisely calculated, just in line with the steps of the horses, and when they run, the horses and carriages will involuntarily oscillate themselves, and they can't help but run fast, so the distance between the sleepers laid by each one is exactly the same, and the horses can't stop if they want to." ”
Li Chengfeng was stunned: "Is there still such a statement......?" How is this carriage going to stop?"
Ouyang Nan smiled meaningfully and said, "When it's time to rest and change horses at the post station, you will know!"
Li Chengfeng sighed with great admiration: "It turns out that ...... That's what non-stop means!"
Some people may say that this kind of thing is out of place, and that it is too modern, but I want to say this: this thing...... It was as far back as the Qin Dynasty. What does the so-called car on the same track mean? What does Qin Chidao mean? If you are interested, you can check it yourself. Our ancestors...... Awesome bombing!
