Chapter 920: Merry-go-round
Even if you see a tricycle than the people you see in it, you can notice it in time and not panic like you see a horse-drawn carriage.
Thirty tricycles and one hundred or two single bicycles were assigned to the couriers, greatly increasing the efficiency of food delivery and delivery.
Merchants have seen that with bicycles, it is more convenient to go everywhere in the city, and many people are very excited.
When the tricycle was introduced, the bicycle sales stores were sold out within a few days, with a total of 500 bicycles and 300 tricycles.
The number of orders received is as high as 1,000 units, which is why the demand will increase when it becomes popular.
Wooden bikes have been selling very well since they started, not to mention the fact that hollow tires have now been added to make riding easier.
After a few days of adaptation, many people can't put down the new bicycle, especially the businessmen who run the shop to make it too convenient to deliver to people, saving a lot of express delivery costs.
The current benefits of the bicycle industry are huge, and in order to be able to develop, the money earned will be reinvested in production.
Continue to increase production equipment and continue to train workers.
The only way to expand production at present is to wait until more advanced technology becomes available.
"Metropolitan Governor, the completion of the amusement park merry-go-round project today requires you to accept it according to the travel arrangement."
Li De was very concerned about the playground project, and came to inform him that the think tank responsible for his travel arrangements was a part-time secretary of the team.
He also wanted to know what the merry-go-round had been made to be, and to be as he had expected.
When you come to the playground, the periphery has been basically completed, the exterior walls are all cement brick walls, and the gate is very large, which has the effect of an ancient porch.
It reads three big characters on the playground, and the front door is all on the ground with concrete floors, which looks very good.
"Go inside and take a look."
Compared to the scene inside the door, it is a little abrupt, and there is nothing to see if there is construction everywhere.
When you get to the merry-go-round, there is a separate area, and the carousel has been framed with a wooden fence around it.
The carousel he saw was similar to the drawings he had provided, and in the distance he could see a huge steam engine still steaming.
"Grand Governor, the merry-go-round has been tested and used, and three merry-go-rounds have been built here according to the requirements of the project, and the average number of visitors per day is expected to be ......"
Li De didn't have the heart to listen to the report, he went up directly to experience, and the people who followed him all went up to the position of a total of eight people.
After turning, the speed is very balanced, which is a bit slow for Li De, but it is still okay for children, and if the rotation time is too long, it will be dizzy.
So every time I set a time limit, and after a few laps, I needed to come down and make a substitution.
"It's very good, it's all done and you can try to open it, open three days a week."
Immediately there were people making notes, and they all thought that they would not be able to open until the playground was all completed, and it would be nice for people to experience it now, and the equipment should not be idle all the time.
Li De gave encouragement to the craftsmen who completed the development of this technology, and the prize money will definitely not be small.
Now that I'm here, I'll take a look at other projects, most of which involve technical issues, and devices like the Corsair, which require more power to drive, are a challenge to the use of the steam engine.
In order to be able to meet the required requirements, a larger steam plant must be built, and a larger steam plant means that the consumption of resources will increase, and how much iron ore will need to be squandered.
How to accomplish it is no longer something that Li De has to worry about, and many things in Youzhou's power have developed to such an extent that he does not need to do it personally.
The mining of iron ore is a matter of manpower and material input, and the efficiency will become higher and higher with the investment of new equipment.
The playground is the largest in terms of construction, and the waterways required for the "Rapids" are the most large, and various waterways are meandering and twisting, and the construction of the reservoir has taken great pains to keep the water flowing normally.
There is not only one reservoir from high to low, but also a number of water wheels have been installed to balance the water volume of the two reservoirs.
Whether the construction of such a large project is a waste of money and labor, Li De considered this issue when he was designing.
In fact, adjacent to the playground is a large area of farmland, and the construction of the reservoir can not only provide people with play, but also store water for irrigation.
In order to achieve this goal, the project alone cost the majority of the money to build the playground.
The reason for the high cost is not only due to the construction of the reservoir, but also to the rubber boats to be used in the waterways.
It is also very difficult for the craftsmen who have mastered the production of hollow tires when developing rubber boats, and they are still being made, and Li De believes that they will succeed.
After visiting the playground, Li De ran out of work today, and the people he brought back to the city guard mansion will get off work.
A few days later, the merry-go-round in the playground became popular, and the merry-go-round, which can turn on its own, is very shocking to the senses.
The Youzhou newspapers publicized it, and once again attracted the attention of various forces, because some of them were immersed in singing and dancing and living in luxury, some were obsessed with all their might, some wanted more, and some were uneasy with the status quo.
And all kinds of things in Youzhou made them feel uneasy, because Youzhou's strength was getting stronger and stronger and gave them a lot of pressure.
Li Yuan is like this, from the time Li Jiancheng returned to Chang'an, he immediately began to recruit troops and buy horses, but the soldiers had but the horses they bought were very few.
Even if you have money, you can't buy a sufficient number of war horses, which is the most depressing.
So in order to calm his mood, he directly asked Li Jiancheng to continue to fight for him with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Many mountain bandits and horses have become the whetstone for Li Jiancheng's accumulated merits.
After Li Shimin learned of Li Jiancheng's move in Taiyuan Mansion, he was more energetic in training soldiers, 200,000 soldiers and horses, a lot of 50,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and the newly recruited soldiers and horses of Chang'an and Changsun Wuji.
His soldiers and horses alone have reached 300,000 people, where did so much money come from, to say that the eldest grandson Wuji is really a man, and there are not many cruel words.
In order to raise so much money to directly sell all the industries in Chang'an, he has now taken 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 50,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, to Taiyuan Mansion.
Li Yuan didn't stop him after learning about this, he didn't dare, but he couldn't stop it, after all, he had to leave 100,000 soldiers and horses before, and he would strongly support Li Jiancheng, it was normal for Li Shimin to be unhappy.
Besides, when it came to Taiyuan Mansion, Li Shimin couldn't escape his control, so he didn't stop it.
Li Jiancheng has a different opinion, thinking that this is his father helping him, but in fact, there is also this reason in it.
is more because he doesn't want to let there be contradictions within the Li family, Li Yuan's attitude is to grasp the balance, and now in this situation, there is only one way out for Li Shimin, that is, to expand the territory and make contributions.
