You see, the above is an ox cart.

Horse-drawn carriages are more expensive.

Horse-drawn wagons, which are not common. Horse-drawn carriages are common, mostly carrying people.

Most of the carriages were owned by wealthy nobles. Generally, the people of the household can't even ride, let alone employment. The reason why Liu Bei came up with the idea of renting out a carriage was because the four Hongru and Qianqian students in the academic world often had to travel. Three or five into a group, each other as a companion, out of the mulberry, into the county seat of Zhuo County. Or looking for teachers to visit friends, or taking a leave of absence to return home. The bullock cart was too slow.

Liu Bei is already a pavilion marquis and can build his own travel fleet.

It is okay to take out three or five safe cars and rent them to the scholars. Of course, Liu Bei's biggest motivation was that he didn't want his teacher to wear clogs to travel twenty miles back and forth to visit relatives and friends.

However, how should the mileage of this carriage be calculated, and how should it be priced?

Say it to Suber.

Su Bo smiled: I have a picture, which can solve the worries of the young owner.

When Su Bo took the cherished picture scroll, he slowly unfolded the yellowed juanjuan scroll. Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned: What is this?

Su Bo replied with a smile: This is the 'Jili Drum Car'.

The Kiri drum car is a car that is used to calculate the mileage of the road. It is improved from the 'Remembering Car'. The record of the road car was first seen in the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records": "The Han Dynasty Yujia Temple Ganquan Fenyang, the road car, the driving four, the middle road." It can be seen that as early as the Western Han Dynasty, there were horse-drawn carriages that could calculate the road mileage. Later, because of the addition of the device of 'walking a mile and playing a drum', it was called 'Jili Drum Car'.

It is said that the drum car in Jili was invented by Zhang Heng.

Hearing this name, Liu Bei was like thunder.

Sure enough, it's him!

According to the drawing, the drum car is divided into two layers, the upper layer is set up with a bell, and the lower layer is set up with a drum. There are small wooden people on the drum car, wearing a crown and a brocade robe, sitting on the car. The car traveled ten miles, and the wooden man beat the drum once. When the drum is struck ten times, the bell is struck once. The shape is a single wheel and two wheels. The chassis is equipped with a 'differential gear set'. The gear always rotates with the wheel, and when the last gear shaft is in the car line, it rotates exactly one week, and the upper wooden man of the car is pulled by the cam, and the right arm is pulled by the rope to beat the drum once to show the mileage.

Beating bells and drums is a formality. The key is the differential gear set above.

The Jili drum car, which runs side by side with the guide car, is also the honor guard car when the Son of Heaven travels. No one else is allowed to use it without permission.

However, with a little modification and makeover, it can become a taxi carriage!

The wooden man who beat the drum and the bell was discarded. Changed to a tape measure. After driving for a mile, the tape measure will slowly spit out. It shows exactly the number of miles traveled by the carriage.

How many miles the carriage has traveled can be accurately measured against the numbers spit out by the tape measure!

Liu Bei was overjoyed.

What an artifact to appear in such an era!

Horse-drawn carriages are rented, and there is no need for a separate courtyard. Handed over to Cui Jun, the head of the place. The big house on the left side of the building was all requisitioned and transformed into: '僦 (jiù) car house'.

The car hall is the car rental hall.

The first taxi carriage hall in the Han Dynasty was freshly baked in Lousang Village. The carriage is also custom-made. It can seat up to four people. Plus the coachman, a total of five people.

There are two types of prices.

Single price: one mile and one penny.

Chartered fare: five dollars per mile.

The reason why chartered cars are expensive is because chartered cars are more convenient. If you want to travel cleanly and alone, it is best to charter a car naturally.

As soon as the car hall opened, it was a sensation. Especially the many students in the academic world. Many poor families can't afford to raise horses or cars. It's quite inconvenient. Now that there is a metered carriage, joy has fallen from the sky.

When they learned that these cars were used by the young prince's convoy, everyone was especially grateful. I also admire it.

It must be known that the young prince can have a lot of money.

Liu Bei is far from being a minor. So he let the men erect two stones in front of the door.

Shangma Stone originated in Qin and flourished in Han. Legend has it that Wang Mang was short and not easy to get on and off the horse, and it became fashionable to erect a horse stone. The Song Dynasty's "Building the French Style, Stone System, and Horse Terrace" recorded: "The system of building a horse platform: 2 feet 2 inches high, 3 feet 8 inches long, and 2 feet 2 inches wide. Its face is square, and the outer side is one foot six inches, and the bottom is made two steps. In the body, it is either plain or astringent; It should be engraved in Chinese. From this, it can be seen that many Matai place names in various places should be related to Shangmashi.

In later times, most of the horse stones were white marble or bluestone texture. The first stage is about 1 foot 3 inches high, the second level is about 2 feet 1 inch high, 1 foot 8 inches wide, and about 3 feet long. The side of the stone is at right angles, about four and a half feet long, about two feet wide, and nearly two feet high. The bottom is the Sumeru seat, and the border is decorated with auspicious cloud patterns; The first-level platform is rectangular, unpretentious, and about two and a half feet long; The second-level stepping platform is about one foot higher than the first, and the plane is two feet square, and the surrounding area is carved with intricate and exquisite ornamented brocade and money, which means 'splendid future', 'blessing in front of the horse (money)' or 'immediately ahead (money) journey'. Etcetera.

The reason why it is two upper horse stones, not one upper horse stone and one lower horse stone. Gain's 'dismounting' has a bad meaning. So it was deprecated.

Liu Bei set up this stone to facilitate his own dismounting.

Unexpectedly, the people of Lou Sangyi followed suit, and it became a fashion. In addition to the upper horse stone, there are also horse tethering posts on the left and right of the door. Also known as the tethered horse stone. Similarly, the people of the city followed suit. This stone is very high. Liu Bei was worried that the thieves would take advantage of this stone and climb over the wall to enter. And they were all removed. Instead, a stone beam was placed horizontally along the side of the wall. The stone beams are carved with unicorn beasts at intervals. Tie the reins around the neck of the beast and make it secure.

So much better.

The people of the city followed suit.

There are more and more horses and vehicles in the city. Soup pools, wine bars, guest houses...... Parking is available in the backyard. However, there are many vehicles and it is impossible to park. and even silting up the streets. Or because the building is small and the building is high. Mayor Geng Yong and Chief Cui Jun came to look for him.

Liu Bei thought about it, then smiled and said: Why not build a berth building?

The two of them hurriedly asked: What is a park?

Liu Bei told the vertical parking lot of the later generations.

After the two of them listened, they suddenly opened. If you can build a building to live in people, why can't you build a building for parking?
