Chapters 123 are most convincing

Chen Ying will definitely be a living person, tired will be tired, and pain will hurt, especially when he is upright and sitting side by side with Chen Ying, feeling the pulse on Chen Ying's wrist, Li Xiuning fell into confusion again.

Chen Ying enjoyed the admiration of Yang Rong and Li Daozhen very much, even if it was to build a railway in later generations, it would take a lot of time, and the dangerous area would also have casualties. However, Chen Ying insisted on building three strategic arteries during the Tang Dynasty.

From Chang'an to the east through Tongguan, Hangu Pass, through Michi, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Huangxu, Suiyang, Qi County into it. Almost a copy of the Longhai Railway, this railway called Chidao, from the beginning of construction to the whole line, it took almost five years. The most pitiful thing is that Chen Ying has no way to build the Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge, and when crossing the Yellow River, he needs to use a ferry. For a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, this is not a problem at all.

Even the lightest ferry can carry up to 100 stones, and it can carry a carriage and horses to the other side smoothly. But the future train ......

This is a big problem, in terms of the weight of the train, it is almost equivalent to more than 20,000 stones in this era, which is equivalent to about 1,000 tons. If you count the load, it is nearly 30,000 stones.

The 30,000-stone big ship Datang is not nothing, like the Hengyang boat bridge, the load can be as much as more than 1,000 tons. Whether it is a key transoceanic boat or a Wuya warship, these are all sea ships, which can be navigated on the special routes of the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, but the draft of this thing is too deep, there is no way to use it as a ferry, and it is extremely inconvenient to turn.

The steam engine train continued to run, faster than a galloping horse, easily exceeding the speed of forty-five kilometers per hour, and it seemed that it could reach about fifty kilometers per hour. The war horse can't keep up with the time of a pillar of incense at most, even if it is a change of horses, it is still far behind.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "Chen Lang, where are we going?" ”

Chen Ying was asked, he actually didn't know how far this experiment would go.

Zino bowed down and replied: "Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this time our end point is Qiuci, and we will pass through Jungu, Jiashi, Weitou (now Bachu County), and stop at three stations along the way to arrive at Qiuci!" ”

Li Xiuning was stunned, the distance between Shule and Qiuzi was nine hundred miles, and even if he used a fast horse, it would take two days and two nights. It's a long journey.

Li Xiuning said: "I don't have anything to prepare now!" ”

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said, "What do you want to prepare?" There were toiletries on the train, a change of clothes, food, drink, all of them! ”

Li Xiuning said: "I can't rest assured that the children will not be relieved!" ”

It's just that at this time, Li Xiuning can't go on. Because she found that Li Siye, Chen Qian, Li Ruoxi, and Li Daozhen's eldest daughter Chen Jiujiu were all under the leadership of the maid, and came slowly.

Chen Ying's hand pressed on Li Xiuning's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all when our family comes out for a spring outing!" ”

Yang Rong is more critical to the cost of the train, she wants to buy a large number of train transportation materials, now Yang Rong is a famous mine owner in Datang, not only has fierce fire oil, salt, iron, and operates a large number of leather business, these materials need to be transported long-distance, it is very convenient to have a train.

Yang Rong tried to ask, "How much does Gorou's car cost?" ”

Chen Ying also didn't know about this, for this train, he smashed more than 200,000 guan one after another, plus the reward of 1 million guan, it was 1.2 million guan.

Zino was naturally responsible for answering Yang Rong's questions.

However, the price also discouraged Yang Rong.

"Two hundred thousand?" Yang Rong asked in disbelief, "How can it be so expensive?" ”

Chen Ying smiled: "It's really not expensive, in fact, you don't need to buy it!" ”

Yang Rong said: "What should I do if I don't buy and want to ship goods?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "Even if you buy it, it's useless, do you have a gallop?" This kind of train needs to run on the gallop, and it also requires a lot of road maintenance and maintenance costs, which you simply can't afford! ”

Yang Rong said: "You mean renting?" ”

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Almost, you hand over the goods to me for transportation, and you only need to pay the corresponding transportation costs!" ”

Yang Rong said: "That's it!" ”

In fact, there is a freshness at the beginning of the train, and after running for two hours unconsciously, everyone feels tired, and the most important thing is boredom, whether it is a bathing room or a restaurant, in fact, once the freshness passes, everyone yawns.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying smiled dumbly.

Unconsciously became the iron boss of the Tang Dynasty, more than two-thirds of the gallop road in the Tang Dynasty was built by Chen Ying, of course, Guanzhong to the east, more than 2,800 miles, belonging to the imperial court construction, the unfinished part, from Luoyang to Yecheng, to Youzhou The railway is also responsible for the construction of the imperial court, but because of the west of Lingzhou, the imperial court is of little use, so the entire western gallop road is built by Chen Ying himself, and the cost is very large.

In the past few years, Chen Ying's crazy wealth, including the very profitable money village and hospital, has been used by Chen to build the gallop road, at least as much as tens of millions.

If he didn't become the iron boss of Datang, Chen Ying felt sorry for himself.

Li Xiuning said solemnly: "The train is a military weapon, and it must be the first in the military." If it is handed over to the imperial court, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to take responsibility......"

Chen Ying didn't want to think about it and said: "The imperial court can't afford it, then I'll afford it!" ”

Li Xiuning said: "You can't afford it either!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "The unpaid burden is definitely unaffordable, but what about the charges? ”

"Charges?" Li Xiuning suddenly remembered that the passenger carriage in Qinglin in Chang'an only cost three big bucks to take the carriage from Chang'an to Qinglinli.

According to the current speed, at most seven hours, it is only half a day's work, you can reach Qiuzi, on average, the speed can reach more than 30 kilometers per hour, if you remove the time of docking, the speed has exceeded 45 kilometers per hour, and the energy consumption has been greatly reduced, has the possibility of commercial operation.

Chen Ying silently calculated, although it is said that when the steam engine train is transported, it consumes a lot of water, but water does not cost money, and the cost paid is only the cost of the station and road maintenance, and coal is only slightly more expensive than soil in Anxi.

Every 20 miles, it takes 6,000 catties of water and about 1,000 catties of coal. According to the resources consumed plus labor costs, the train loss is equivalent to nine miles per mile.

Like Chen Ying, it would take more than 8,000 yuan to run from Shule to Qiuzi. If you transport grain, you will need to pay as much as 2,500 yuan per stone of grain.

Transporting grain to Guanzhong is in fact unprofitable.

Of course, luxury items or other goods, there are also those who make money.

Chen Ying pointed to the train and said, "This time, we took no more than seven hours to get from Shule to Qiuzi, and it cost about 8,000 yuan!" ”

"Eight thousand?" Li Xiuning's thinking is even more drifting.

She calculates the transport of personnel, a train can carry a brigade, a train can carry seventeen train cars, that is, a full seventeen brigades. There are more than 1,700 people, with an average of less than five yuan per person.

If you use the original speed, 900 miles will require elite soldiers to walk for ten days or even half a month, and if it is a cavalry, it will also take two to three days.

Spending 50,000 or 60,000 guan to transport an army of 10,000 to thousands of miles away in one day is not expensive!

Now Chen Ying's desire to become the iron boss of the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, after all, the iron boss of later generations is quite majestic, and he can feed more than two million people.

However, now Chen Ying's railway company cannot even do one percent of the later generations, and the degree of mechanization is too low, so it will need more manpower.

Chen Yingchong Zino and Zhou Qing said: "There are still two problems with the current train, the energy consumption is too low, and it needs to be further reduced, and the speed is also not satisfactory, and the speed needs to be further improved." And also...... It's the cost of transportation, you haven't thought about it, this steam engine train, but also practicality. From Qiuzi to Shule, it takes more than 8,000 passes. If you only transport more than 10,000 stone of grain, 900 li, each stone of grain needs to increase by 2,500 yuan. It is best to reduce the cost of transportation by 3,000 or even lower! ”

Zhou Qing and Zino promised again and again.

……

Just when the train was running towards Qiuzi, in front of Wang Jing's bed, the only surviving patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family, the young Wang Renbiao said to Wang Jing: "Uncle, if you want to say heavenly punishment, the first one should be the main hall of our Wang family's ancestral hall, but the side hall!" ”

Wang Jing, as the Shangzhu State of the Sui Dynasty, is naturally clear. Taiyuan Wang's status can become today's, and the children of the Wang family in the past generations have made great contributions.

Especially his grandfather Wang Sizheng, Wang Sizheng was a staff member of Yuan Xiu (Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty) in his early years, and later defected to Yuwentai in Guanzhong and became the prince of Taiyuan County. Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty attacked the Western Wei Dynasty, Wang Sizheng led the army to defend Yubi, and after nine days of fierce fighting, he repelled the Eastern Wei army and was promoted to the general of the hussars for his merits. Hou Jing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty rebelled. Wang Sizheng was the assassin of Jingzhou at that time, and took the opportunity to occupy the strategic place of Yingchuan, and was crowned as a general and the governor of Henan's military.

It can be said that Wang Sizheng is the killing god of the Taiyuan Wang clan in recent years, and the lives of those who died at his hands were not 300,000, but at least 200,000.

Compared with Wang Sizheng, Wang Kang is too weak.

Since it was a divine punishment from heaven, the most punishable person was actually Wang Sizheng, not Wang Kang.

Although Wang Kang is a general in his life, and he is a prime minister when he enters, in fact, his merits are not as good as Wang Sizheng, if it were not for his father Yu Yin, he would not have become the head of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Wang Renbiao continued: "The most suspicious thing is that our ancestral hall was repaired three days ago, and the steward in charge of this matter, as well as the craftsmen who repaired it, couldn't find anyone, not only themselves, but also their families who disappeared at the same time, which is really suspicious." ”

looked at Wang Jing and was silent.

Wang Renbiao said again: "Uncle, in this world, the most trustworthy thing is coincidence!" ”

Wang Jing said in a hoarse voice: "Who is it...... Will it be so ruthless? ”

Wang Renbiao said: "Renbiao found out that Wude was seven years old, and there was also a heavenly punishment in the south of Chang'an Taiji Palace, but the power was much smaller, several soldiers were killed, seven or eight people were injured, and four of these wounded soldiers were killed in battle, only one of them was named Guo Bingtian, and Renbiao had taken to check the ...... of the East Side Palace."

Wang Jing said in an undoubted tone: "Tell me directly, who is he?" “

Wang Renbiao said slowly: "Most of Anxi protects Chen Ying!" “

"Oh......" Wang Jing sighed and said, "When is the time for retribution?" “

Wang Renbiao said unwillingly: "Is it just that?" “

"Or else?" Wang Jing said angrily: "Chen Ying has always done things by unscrupulous means, never scruples, since he dares to attack the Taiyuan Wang family, he is not afraid of retaliation, he has such means, he has the ability to uproot our Taiyuan Wang family!" “

"There are no less than 100,000 children of our Taiyuan Wang family!" Wang Renbiao said angrily: "Can he still kill them all?" “

Wang Jing sighed and said, "Murong Fuyun is also a character, and now he is safe?" Tuyuhun is 100,000 with armor, how many of them are left now? The Western Turkic Yehu Khan can be called a masterpiece of a generation, and 200,000 male soldiers have become a little merit on his Chen Yingshi's journey, does it really let the Taiyuan Wang family go to his footsteps? “
