The track from the lumber yard to the Kunchi pond is only five miles, the terrain is flat, and the wooden track is relatively simple to lay, as for the human-powered rail car, Liu Yi uses a gear structure, which is a bit like riding a bicycle, and one person can drive, but Liu Yi added a drive hub, which can be driven by one person or two people together, which will be more labor-saving.

Looking at the strange shape of the cart that did not tie up the cattle and horses, Wei Yue looked at Liu Yi with some strangeness: "Bo Yuan, how should this car move?" ”

More than half of the rickshaw is a wooden box, which is used to load goods, but there is no place to tie the rope, so there is no way to pull it.

"Just go up and try it." Liu Yi smiled and motioned for Wei Yue to sit up, and stepped on the pedal with both feet: "Yes, that's it, take turns pedaling with both feet, don't exert force together, and break the pedal!" ”

"Alas~hey~" Wei Yue started to operate according to Liu Yi's words, just kicked lightly, and the rail car began to slowly accelerate forward, and soon disappeared.

"No, there's no deceleration!" Looking at the direction of the rail car, Liu Yi suddenly remembered something, his face changed, and he hurriedly ran away, and at the same time shouted: "Stop!" Stop pedaling! ”

It's just that it's too far away, Wei Yue can't hear it clearly, he thinks it's very good, it's light and fast, and the operation is simple, just like a person who learns to ride a bicycle for the first time, and he starts to accelerate continuously...... Accelerate again, until it was almost the end, when he looked at Kun Chi who appeared in the distance in his sight, Wei Yue was a little dumbfounded, he knew that the track was here, but how to stop!?

He had stopped pedaling, but the speed of the rail car did not seem to have decreased much, and it rushed out of the track at a very fast speed, and the craftsmen who were carrying wood to build houses around saw this, and hurriedly scattered, and watched the rail car rush out of the wooden tracks, rush into the Kun Pond, and float away.

Some people who knew how to water hurriedly went into the water to save Wei Yue and dragged the rail car and Wei Yue up.

"I'll tell you to slow down, why don't you listen!" Liu Yi panted and rushed to the front, looking at Wei Yue, who was wet, funny and angry.

"I want to too!" Wei Yue took the cotton towel handed by the craftsman and wiped the water on his body, after all, the rail car was wooden, buoyant, and did not sink, but he crashed into it like this, splashing a lot of water on his body, and while wiping, he looked at Liu Yi and asked: "Bo Yuan, your car is good, but you can't stop!" If you're not careful, it's easy to get into trouble! ”

"I'll improve it again." Liu Yi nodded, the problem of braking must be done, although in this way, it will increase the wear and tear of the rail car and shorten the service life, but if you don't have it, it is easy to have an accident!

"Can't this car drive on the post road?" Wei Yue looked at the rail car, and there was something unfinished.

"Yes, yes, but the bumps will be big, and it's not easy to control the direction." Liu Yi nodded, and then shook his head, there is no such thing as rubber to make tires, this kind of rickshaw will be difficult to ride, it is okay to control the direction, but the practicality is not as good as the carriage.

Wei Yue thought about his previous feelings, and at the same time understood the importance of this track at this moment, if he didn't have this track, he might not be able to ride as smoothly as before.

After making sure that Wei Yue was fine, Liu Yi returned to the lumber yard and began to improve the rail car, mainly the addition of a deceleration device, which was not too difficult, as long as a deceleration wood was put on the wheel.

Rickshaw Railcar: Light +41, Stable +43, Speed +46, Strong +49, Energetic +48

Wooden track (overall): +46 for unobstructed, +47 for high-speed driving, +44 for safety and stability

After Liu Yi's modification, the human-powered rail car is equipped with a deceleration device, which can be put into production, but the real labor-intensive is not the rail car, but the laying of wooden rails, which requires a flat ground, which is good to say here, but if you really want to go over the mountains and mountains, you have to build a way out first, the manpower to be mobilized is very high, and the population of Nanzhong is sparse, even if the population of the Han and Barbarian ethnic groups is added up, not to mention the amount of money spent, in terms of manpower, I want to repair a few wooden tracks from Nanzhong to Shuzhong, without affecting the normal development of Nanzhong. It is estimated that it will take at least two years, and this is still Liu Yi regardless of the cost, hiring more master-level hired workers, with tens of thousands of laborers, if you want to lay all the way to Hanzhong, there is no shortage of manpower there, but you also have to build the road first.

Of course, the terrain of Jingzhou is flat, it will be relatively easy, and Jingzhou has developed water transportation, the demand for this kind of human-powered rail car is not too high, if Yongliang is captured in the future, there is the real place where the human-powered rail car is used, but to transport the timber from Nanzhong and Shuzhong, the track in Shu must be laid.

However, the production of the wooden rail itself is not too troublesome, Liu Yi has now come up with a machine to quickly manufacture wooden rails, use manpower to start the scoring wheel, and then carry out rapid processing, so as to speed up the production, the most important thing is to lay the wooden rails, at the moment Liu Yi can't think of any shortcuts to go, can only rely on manpower to pile up.

At present, the wooden rails in this area of Yunnan will be laid first, if it is not for the worry of Meng Huo, Liu Yi would like to go back to Jianning, and the construction will also start there, and the speed will be much faster if it develops in both directions.

"What's Meng Huo's recent movements?" After Liu Yi hired the person in charge of making the track and laying the track, he recruited Ma Jian and began to ask about Meng Huo, now he wants to build a city, lay wooden tracks, develop silver mines, and the game between Meng Shu is not too much to play, it is a pure waste of time.

"I went to the southwest area, more than 300 miles away from here, the specific movement is unknown, the mountains and roads in that area are dangerous, and our people can't get close." Ma Jian shook his head and said.

"Then send more scouts to monitor that area, and tell the scouts to ask the local mountain people more about the dangerous places around, so as not to go to the road in the future." Liu Yi nodded, Meng Huo can't shrink out now, obviously holding back his big move, and gathering the people who can still be summoned to prepare for a decisive battle with him, but for Liu Yi, the current Meng Huo is already a secondary figure.

"Now is the time of the autumn harvest, and the soldiers can help those barbarians harvest and enhance the relationship between the two sides after training." Liu Yi sat down and motioned for Ma Tan to sit opposite him: "In addition, I hope to move some Han people over here, this land in Nanzhong is not a barren land, but has a lot of resources, I have planned some evil forests that can be cut down for reclamation, many of the people of Nanban still don't trust us, but these reclaimed land can't be wasted, and we need a lot of manpower now, just Nanzhong is not enough, we can go to Shuzhong to attract some displaced people." ”

In these years, the displaced people have always existed, not only because of war, but also because of natural and man-made disasters. In other places, many people will also leave their homes every year because they can't survive, and natural disasters are easy to understand, as for man-made disasters...... The problem of local land annexation is still serious, even if Liu Bei has been committed to improving these over the years, but it is only successful. The area around the capital is relatively better.

Those local tyrants or something, Liu Yi can't do anything for the time being, and after all, it is a class, and there will only be internal friction if it is hard, so Liu Yi hopes to let them have land and no one to plant in this way, and at the same time better implement Zhuge Liang's new law in the land of Nanzhong, where the wealthy families are generally not strong, and most of them are in a state of independence, and it is easier to govern.

He has written to Jingzhou, ready to move the team of the Fishing Township Academy here, this land in the south is now a blank piece of paper, it is easier to implement some decrees, and it can be used as the birthplace of Zhuge Liang's new law.

"Whoa!" Ma Jian nodded, this matter is not difficult for him.

"Mo Hou is going to stay here for a long time?" Ma Tan asked.

"It will stay for a long time, at least the cities we designed, as well as the wooden rails between various places, will be laid, and the timber and mineral deposits in the south will be shipped in the future, and these wooden rails will play a great role, and I am ready to apply to the imperial court for this wooden rail, at least all the wooden rails in Shu must be laid." Liu Yi nodded with a smile, looked at Ma Jian and said, "If we can succeed, if we start a war with Cao Wei in the future, the manpower required for logistics will be greatly reduced." ”

Ma Tan has also seen the rail car in the past few days, and knows that what Liu Yi said is true, the sum of the materials that a rail car can carry on top of more than ten or twenty people, but only two people are needed to operate, and the speed is far beyond the people's handling, which is used in logistics, it is too cheap, the same number of troops, if it is a war with Cao Wei, only one-tenth of Cao Wei's logistics force is enough, in this way, as the attacker, the impact of the war on the people's livelihood under their own rule will be much smaller, this is not a simple logistics problem.

In a large-scale battle, Cao Wei needs hundreds of thousands of people to carry materials, and Liu Bei may only need one or two thousand, and the people under his rule should be engaged in agriculture and farming, and they can continue to develop, and Cao Wei, I am afraid that many places will have to tighten their belts to live, so that Liu Bei's side can support a longer period of consumption, not afraid of a long war, and Cao Wei will only get weaker and weaker if he continues to consume with Liu Bei, is this the gap between Liu Yi and the industry?

Speculating on the scene of the future war in his heart, Ma Jian gave birth to the idea of a strong country for the first time, the gap between the two sides is too obvious, Liu Yi almost single-handedly reversed the logistics consumption of the two sides, and made up for the gap in national strength between the two countries.

Is this kind of work really just a trick?

Ma Jian feels that his values are constantly being reversed by Liu Yi, and if this continues, maybe Liu Yi's heavenly creations will become a strange book that has been passed down through the ages!
