Chapter 242: Shaking the Jingshi (First Update, Asking for Support)

Finally, the other four cars were filled with coal, each of which was 15,000 catties, which was not too much, but not too much.

Although it can't be compared to another plane, it is a miracle in this era.

After eight wagons filled with 120,000 catties of coal, Shi Yiwen came to the front of the "train", he looked at the twelve carefully selected horses, the only thing that made him dissatisfied was probably these horses, these Mongolian horses are not suitable for pulling horses, if it is a European heavy horse, maybe these twelve horses can pull hundreds of tons of goods.

Right now...... Let's use it first!

Shi Yiwen secretly thought in his heart, and then looked at the people in front of him and said.

"Today is a good day, and it is also the day when our fast road is opened to traffic, 120,000 catties of goods...... Is it much? ”

Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"More or not more, I will know if I ship a trip today, I don't have anything to say, I just hope that our road mining company from now on, as written on the couplet - "people look forward to a hundred times the profit, horses carry wealth from all directions", Dafa Ji City, okay, that's it, let's ride a horse all the way to follow, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, you are right. ”

After the simple opening remarks, in a burst of gongs, drums, and firecrackers, Master Zhao sat on the seat of the car in front of him and shook the horsewhip violently.

"Horn!"

The moment the whip sounded in the air like the sound of a gunshot, the twelve horses immediately moved forward, and as the harness straightened, the heavy eight carts moved.

"Hereby ......"

With the pull of twelve horses, the cast-iron wooden wheels of the cart moved.

"It's moving, the car is moving......"

The moment the train moved, the big guys all exclaimed.

After all, before this, they never thought that twelve horses could pull 120,000 catties of goods, in fact, this is not an average of 10,000 catties per horse.

According to the information found by Shi Yiwen in the space library, the typical weight of a horse is different, the pack horse can pull 1/8 ton, the wagon on the "soft" road 5/8 ton, on the gravel road 2 tons, and on the railway can be as high as 8 tons, which has not yet reached the standard on the railway, and of course it is not a railway now. And there are certain differences between the horses, but you can change the horses a few more times, after all, there are two "stations" on the way.

When the train was moving forward slowly, Shi Yiwen, who was riding on a horse, smiled at the "train" that had already moved and said.

"Let's go, let's follow!"

With that, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and then he followed the train in the direction of the capital.

At dawn, Mentougou was extraordinarily quiet, only the hooves of dozens of horses echoed in the wilderness, and the hooves of dozens of horses were loud or not, just right to echo, making it impossible to ignore its existence.

Along the way, compared to other people looking at the carriage nervously from time to time, Shi Yiwen was talking and laughing.

"Yiren, look at you nervous, you see, isn't the car walking well now, and the horse is also walking well?"

"Yes, I know, but ......"

Zhang Weiliang looked at the "train" on the track, and then said.

"But it's inevitable that I'm still a little worried, is our speed a little faster now, an hour and twenty miles, I think it's better to be slower, to save horsepower."

Because he knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at this "fast road", Zhang Weiliang naturally hopes to be more secure, although he also does not object to the "sensation" that Shi Yiwen said.

"Originally, our plan was twenty-five miles an hour, but now the speed has slowed down, don't worry about the lack of horsepower, these dozens of miles on the road, we have two stations, you can change horses at any time, to ensure that it doesn't take much horsepower, you look at those horses, it doesn't look like a hard ......"

While they were talking, Shi Yiwen occasionally turned his attention to the driver on the "bridge", that is a veteran driver, he raised the whip in his hand from time to time to "call for driving", the wheels rumbled forward, he sometimes shook the whip loudly, and the 12 horses rushed forward with their hooves neighing, and the previous scene was really not inferior to the train.

After the vehicle crossed the Lugou River, as the distance to the capital became closer and closer, there were more and more people, and when they looked at the roaring "train", they all looked at the dozen horses and the coal on the carriage in surprise.

It took almost two and a half hours to get from Mentougou to the capital, and although it was noon when we arrived in the capital, it was also the most lively time in the market.

"You mean, the one and ...... a while ago"

Xu Delin was on the side of the road and was asking passers-by about the news that had come out of the city recently, when he heard someone shouting over there.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go and see the cart that can pull more than 100,000 catties to ......"

"You just blow it, the car can pull 120,000 catties, and it's almost ...... to say that it's a boat."

"You don't believe it, anyway, the coal carriage is about to enter the city."

But everyone will have a little curiosity, not to mention, Xu Delin himself is a "reporter", as a reporter of "Morning Post", he is looking for news all day long, after all, his income is related to the manuscript.

"The fast road for transporting coal is open to traffic? I haven't heard of it......"

Of course, Xu Delin knew that Kuaima Road and the newspaper were the same owner, but why didn't the newspaper get noticed?

Puzzled in his heart, he, like many people, ran towards the outside of the city, and when he arrived outside the city, he saw that the roadside was already crowded with onlookers, and the fast road was built all the way to the coal yard less than half a mile from the city wall, and the people were crowded there, looking into the distance.

"Coming, coming......"

With the sound of bells and horses' hooves, people finally saw the so-called "trains", and everyone looked at them with surprise as twelve fast horses pulled eight carts along the wooden tracks.

"Oh my God, this car is huge!"

"God, this horse has so many things, it shouldn't be exhausting!"

"Didn't you see that the horses weren't tired and sweating?"

In the watchful eyes of everyone, the driver on the car began to slow down the train, and as he shouted, the drivers of the seven cars behind pulled the brakes one after another, and the brakes on the train were not braked, but only played a role in slowing down.

Finally, when the train stopped in front of the coal station, Master Zhao, who was rushing the train, said loudly to the manager of the coal station who had been waiting for a long time.

"Steward Chen, you see, two and a half hours, 120,000 catties of coal, all transported to you, please sign it......" In fact, strictly speaking, there is also a process of acceptance, but today, this process has been omitted, just so that everyone can see this scene.

"My God, it's really hundreds of thousands of catties!"

"It's not, such a big car is piled up like a hill, can it be more than 100,000 catties!"

Looking at the scene in front of him and listening to the surprise of the people, Shi Yiwen's expression looked a little proud, he knew that today's ...... This fast road is a famous Jingshi, not by newspapers, but by the surprise of the big guys.
