Chapter 901: Li Chengxun, King of Shu

Starting from the southwest of Chang'an, directly open the mountain and blast the stones, the Qinling Mountains are hard to hit a straight channel, the road is 20 meters wide, and the ground is all condensed with cement, the reason why it is not an asphalt road with stones and asphalt is because the oil industry in Datang is not mature enough, and there are not many places where the country uses oil to exploit oil, and there is no consumption of vehicles, so it cannot bring the oil industry at all, so the asphalt production is insufficient.

However, in the era of Datang, it was all the era of horse-drawn carriages, and the road surface did not need to be too luxurious, and the hardened layer of the cement road far exceeded the official roads in various places, because those official roads were basically all dirt roads, and they were muddy when it rained, and even many cities were not all stone pavement.

So now Shu Road is a flat road with all cement, it can be said that it is the most luxurious road in Datang today, a highway, there was no card toll maintenance road in ancient times, so this highway is purely free, such a thing is estimated to be absolutely impossible in later generations.

Sitting in the luxury frame provided by Bai Fan, Li Er was in a good mood, and kept praising the ministers along the way, this kind of vehicle that can run without a horse, I'm afraid that only we Datang have it in the world.

"In short, what is the maximum speed of this vehicle? I looked at the road surface was extremely flat, and people couldn't feel the bumps in the car at all, why didn't this speed seem to be worth the 800 miles of fast horses? Li Er asked.

Bai Fan explained: "Let's put it this way, the function of this thing is actually the same as that of the folk iron ox, except that it is used to drive the plough, this is used to carry people, and this core power is hidden in the belly of the car."

If you want to ask him about his maximum speed, this road surface, regardless of pedestrian accidents or anything, is about 120 miles in an hour, and it can run 1,500 miles in a day and night. ”

Poof, the wine glass in the hands of Li Er and the ministers fell to the ground, and the wine they had just drunk in their mouths also spewed out.

How much? One thousand five? Are you sure it's not a joke? Luoyang to Xi'an is only 700 miles, if your car can really be 1,000 a day and a night, then doesn't it mean that you can Luoyang in one day?

And how far is the straight-line distance from Chang'an to the Sword Pavilion in Shu? According to the calculation of the newly repaired Shu Road, it is only 900 miles, so it can be reached in less than a day at full speed?

None of the people dared to believe it, only some generals who had used tractors knew that this thing could work day and night, without eating grass or food, just burning oil.

This is still Bai Fan's little to say, the large trucks in later generations are all diesel engine powered, and when driving on the highway, the speed limit is 90 kilometers per hour, which is also a day and night that can run 2,000 kilometers away.

"Okay, the order goes down, the convoy is driving at full speed, and I will enter Shu in one day." Li Er waved his hand and gave an order to the front of the car.

At this time, the driver at the front of the car reported and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is already the highest speed, and it is expected to reach the central section of Shu Road tomorrow evening." ”

Well? Li Er's expression froze instantly, and his eyes looked back at Bai Fan a little strange, this is what you said, one thousand and five a day and a night? Are you kidding me?

Bai Fanqiang held back a smile and coughed lightly, "Ahem, Your Majesty misunderstood, the kind of car I said can only be realized after the car-making technology matures, today this car for safety reasons, I will control the maximum speed in one hour and 100 miles, otherwise it may be dangerous if it is fast, after all, there are pedestrians on the road, if you hit someone, or if you overturn, there will be danger."

This thing is not as nimble as a horse, so it is still necessary to be cautious.

And we don't walk at night, plus we have a break to eat or something, so we can only arrive tomorrow. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Ercai eased up, and many people were also helping, and a hundred miles in an hour was not a lot, and it was still possible to Luoyang in one day.

In the middle of Shu Road, Li Chengxun and others were waiting in line early, listening to the roar of vehicles approaching in the distance, everyone was faintly excited, eight years of hard work are all here, to be recognized by the imperial court, and to be able to go down in history, it is worth this thing in this life.

"That's? Is that His Majesty's car? Isn't it a royal car? What kind of car is this? What about the army guards? What about the Imperial Guard? ”

In ancient times, it was not easy for the emperor to travel, he had to be accompanied by a large army, so the general emperor did not go out, because it was inconvenient, so when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once sighed that he was just a bird bound in the palace, and the palace was a permanent cage.

"All the road repair engineering personnel of Shu Road, welcome Your Majesty."

Li Er got out of the car with hundreds of civil and military officials and walked up step by step, Li Er personally went up to support his nephew, as well as Cui Junsu of the Cui clan of Qinghe next to him, and the patriarch of the Fanyang Lu clan.

"Okay, good, the construction of the Shu Road will benefit future generations for thousands of years, and the people of the world will thank you!" As he spoke, Li Er bowed deeply to everyone.

"Someone, proclaim!"

The chamberlain Lao Gao straightened his chest and stood up, and announced the decree in a hearty voice.

A piece of elegant words that sing the praises of virtue, followed is the real real reward, adding the chief engineer of Shu Dao Li Chengxun as the king of Shu, mentioning Fanyang Lu and Qinghe Cui as the country's first-class nobles, each giving 5,000 acres of land in Shu as the ancestral property of the two families, which can be passed down from generation to generation, and other heroes at all levels have their own rewards.

Bai Fan nodded secretly in the back, Li Er played a beautiful trick, the three major heroes of Shu Dao were all placed in Shu, Li Chengxun was originally a prince, and this promotion to a one-word prince seemed to be a kind reward, but Li Er knew that even if he was not crowned the king of Shu, the people in Shu would appreciate Li Chengxun's kindness, and they would definitely worship him with the immortal tablet, so it was better to be a favor himself.

And in the same way, because the Qinghe Cui clan and the Fanyang Lu clan have criminal records, it is easy to restore their reputations, but they can't be put back to their ancestral land to let the tiger return to the mountain, and the people everywhere know more or less the notoriety of the two clans, so I'm afraid that after these people are put back, there will be some trouble.

It is better to put it in Shu Di, which is grateful to these two clans, so that the two clans will recover their identity, but they will be marginalized to a corner of Shudi, avoiding hidden dangers, and everyone is happy.

After some busy business, Li Chengxun was dragged aside by his sister Li Wanping and whispered.

"Third brother, my mother is coming, you know, my mother has been waiting for this day for many years, you have to be mentally prepared."

Li Chengxun was ashamed and said: "It's my unfilial piety as a son, and my tired parents are worried, so I'm going to visit my mother to ask for guilt." ”

"Oh, third brother, why are you so sluggish? I'm not talking about this, you have made a great contribution, and your family is happy for you, what I'm saying is that my mother came prepared this time, and it is said that she brought a lot of girls, ready to give you a beauty pageant blind date on the spot. Li Wanping pulled and explained.

"Oh, I ...... Sister, good sister, the third brother still has something, you must help me hold my mother, I will go first, please. When Li Chengxun heard this, he dropped a sentence and ran away. 2k reading web
