Chapter Seventy-Seven: Galloping

Li Yi, that is, the abbot of Dujing, was not among the participants, because compared to others, Li Yi did not have any say in Luoyang; The Marquis of Xubu Gudu, as the former Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, can still participate as the leader of the former foreign friendly forces, and Dujing now has no political capital;

After announcing the first thing, everyone was surprised and didn't close their mouths, and Liu Braids next announced the second thing that surprised everyone even more:

"Second, this king wants to implement the Great Luoyang Plan; The roads in Luoyang New Town have been widened, and now it is the turn of the old city of Luoyang and the counties near Luoyang; The road is widened to allow eight horse-drawn carriages to pass in both directions; Not only that, in the vicinity of Luoyang, Pingyin, Pingxian, Gucheng, Xincheng (this Xincheng is a small county town in the southwest of Luoyang, not referring to Luoyang New Town), Liangxian, Yanshi, Wushi (that word is pronounced gou), Gongxian, and Chenggao all widened the streets into streets where eight carriages passed; And with Luoyang City as the center, these counties and Hangu Pass, Tiger Pass, Mengjin Port are built Chi Road (in fact, the word Chi Road is derived from Qin Shi Huang, but at that time, Qin Shi Huang built Chang'an to various places on a large scale Chi Road was only for his own official use, in vain to consume money and grain, and after the fall of Qin, everyone can use it, and Liu Braid's Chi Road wants to build is more like the highway of this era, in the Han Dynasty, even between these counties of the most prosperous and developed Luoyang County, the road is very difficult to walk, this is still a plain area, not to mention the terrain in other states and counties);

When everyone heard that their 16-year-old lord opened his mouth to widen the streets of various counties, his psychology was tight, and when he heard that they were widened to be able to pass through eight carriages in both directions, he was even more heartbroken, and when he heard that he was going to build a gallop road from Luoyang to various counties, he was simply going to faint, you must know that even if Qin Shi Huang built a large-scale gallop road with the power of the world, he would die in the country, not to mention that now his little lord has such a big place as Luoyang, And it is just spent a lot of money just to expand Luoyang City, although Chidao is only built in Luoyang County, the scale of the project is much smaller than the previous Qin Shi Huang, but think about it is too incredible;

None of these people who came were fools, and they all vaguely guessed that calling themselves should be to make them pay for it, in fact, they made a lot of money in Luoyang, and they haven't paid any imperial grain and national taxes until now, pay some money and blood, they also admit it, who let them mix on other people's territory, although Liu Braided said before that Luoyang protects private property; But for these big businessmen and big chaebols, they won't really believe it in their hearts, when have the businessmen of the past and present been raised by the imperial court like pigs, and they have been slaughtered and eaten like pigs, there are basically no exceptions, if they can really pay some money to keep most of their interests, they are willing, but these people who came listened to the meaning of Liu's argument are not as simple as having some blood, and they began to open their mouths to expand the White Horse Temple, but fortunately, the little prince later said that he paid for it himself; But if you listen to it further, it is to build a gallop road, which costs more money than building a temple, and King Hongnong didn't say that he paid out of his own pocket, didn't he say that he paid it himself, didn't he just want us to pay it?

In the midst of everyone's apprehension, Liu Braided paused for a while just now, and continued to say as if no one was around:

"Railroad tracks will be installed in the middle of these roads to divide the two-way lanes, and in the future, they can be used to transport heavy materials such as stones, wood, ordnance, etc., between various counties, passes, and ports."

Everyone was dazed when they heard it, and their hearts said I'll go, what is your little doll talking about? What rails? What the hell are railroad tracks?

Liu Braids had long thought that these people had never seen the railroad tracks, had never heard of them, and didn't know what they were, so he shouted permission and brought the railroad track drawings he had drawn on paper before to show these people sitting there to watch; (The drawing is the appearance of the train tracks drawn by Liu Braid with a pencil)

After reading the drawings, everyone was still puzzled, and they didn't understand what was the use of these two iron pillar-like things on the ground?

Liu Braided smiled, and asked Xu Xu to take out a second drawing, which depicted a 'hand-cranked human-powered rail car' that could travel on train tracks

(It is to drive the rail car forward by pressing back and forth with two or four people on the rail car, which will be more laborious in the initial stage, and will be very labor-saving once it is started, and the speed can reach 20 km/h; And the back can also hang a plurality of the same manpower rail car or flat rail car to transport personnel or materials, now the rail car of later generations is not the kind of old model in the World War II war seen on TV in the 19th century, although the new manpower rail car still relies on manpower driven, but the accommodation space is much larger than the old-fashioned rail car, and a plurality of rail cars can be hung and linked together to start together and pull the flat car behind to move forward together, like a train driven by manpower; The speed is far inferior to that of a horse-drawn carriage, but it is much better in terms of load, and many weapons and equipment that cannot be loaded by a horse-drawn carriage can be transported by rail cars.

Liu Braided did not want to make rails and railcars on a whim, but wanted to do so at the beginning of preparing to build roads, he never had the luxury of being able to travel real trains on the tracks, but railcars are completely feasible, he has already asked the little fat man Liu Xuan to contact many channels to buy abandoned rails, their owners sell them as if they were the price of steel, 1 ton is only 3200-3800 yuan, and the price of a good human-powered railcar is only a few thousand yuan; Compared with the price of a good horse in the Han Dynasty today, it is obvious that the former is more economical and cost-effective;

After everyone saw the second drawing, they listened to Liu Braid's description with comparisons, and finally knew that this thing could be driven by people working up and down; But everyone still wanted to look at Liu Braid like a fool, speechless, or no one was willing to take the initiative to express their opinions for or against, and they all continued to listen to Liu Braid's strange ideas, and everyone was also wondering, where did this Hongnong King come from so many strange tricks (yin is afraid of being harmonized, note a sound) ingenious skills;

Liu Braids didn't care about their expressions, and continued to describe what would happen to Luoyang after the Chidao was repaired, as if a later generation of entrepreneurs was facing a bunch of VCs, holding a laser pointer in his hand and pointing to PPT passionately explaining his business plan, and the underground people were also like the later generations of VC, with a smile on their faces, and they all wanted to put this project from beginning to end, or until there was no scum left, but they were still a little worse than the VC of later generations, and later generations of VC could pat their butts and leave after listening to it, and they obviously can't now, no matter how much they don't want to listen, they still have to continue to listen to Liu Braid, an entrepreneur, speaking passionately;

Liu Braid has been talking for a long time without mentioning the issue of money, just like this is not a problem in the first place, or Liu Braid has forgotten this problem。。。。。。
