Chapter 405: The Four-Wheeled Carriage
The south of Chang'an City, although it is more desolate, is still Chang'an after all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMany businesses have their own or stacks here. Greedy for the land here is big and cheap. Therefore, many large vehicles pass by here, pressing over the newly paved cement pavement, entering and exiting the city.
Li Chen looked at the cement pavement, and didn't know if the pavement could stand the test, such a big car came, heavy car went, if this pavement is not resistant to heavy pressure, it is better to use the original dirt road without use, at least cheaper.
He followed the road, all the way to Jing'anfang, to Chang'an Theater, got off the horse, and he walked in first. At this time, Li Duowen happened to come out of it.
said that it was too late, and the two bumped. Then, in an instant, at the entrance of the Chang'an Opera Garden, it seemed to be tense.
Li Chen's guards stepped forward, because Li Chen was a private visit, so they scattered relatively widely, and only a few people followed. Then, Li Duowen and these people were also judged to be not dangerous, but who knows, they actually bumped into them.
And what about Li Duowen, who is he? The son of the current prime minister, although he is a concubine, does not have an official position, but the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, not to mention that Li Duowen is not the kind of concubine who is not treated by him, naturally he has friends and entourage to follow, and when he was hit, he also rushed forward, causing the situation on the scene to seem to be on the verge of breaking out.
"You are so bold, do you know what kind of person this is, when Li Xiang, who is the most trusted son today, his son, you still dare to hit him, don't you want to live?" "That is, take them down, send them to Wannian County, and let them suffer a little." All kinds of shouts appeared, and Li Chenzhi frowned when he heard it, Li Deyu's son, how can he be so virtuous.
'You guys.... Xiao Liang was a little angry, what about Li Deyu's son, he was here in person today, and he couldn't please him, and he returned the county order of Wannian County, just when he wanted to get angry, "Bastard, give me all the things to retreat." A burst of cheers made the group of people stunned.
'What have you done, have you not been forbidden to take my father's name?' It wasn't Li Chen who was angry, it was Li Duowen, who scolded his followers angrily, and then said to Li Chen, "I'm sorry, this brother, are you okay, you were careless just now." ’
"It's okay, it's okay, it's brother, you just got hit hard, do you want to find a medical worker." ''Alas, it's okay, it's just that it's out of breath, it's okay.'' ’。 The two parties are also the leaders to speak, and the atmosphere is very good, but it is just a small bump, Li Chen doesn't plan to do anything, but if the other party is too uplifting, he has to be more serious, and he doesn't mind letting the other party know who is the one who can speak in Datang. However, since the other party apologized, he had no intention of making a big deal. Li Chen continued to ignore it.
The two gossiped for a while, and when they heard that Li Chen was also surnamed Li, Li Duowen talked to Li Chen and became a little warmer, but as soon as they came to the door, a bunch of people continued to stop, which hindered the traffic. Second, everyone met in Pingshui, and both sides were not ready to continue to have a deep friendship, so the two sides should not be outdated, Li Chen asked more, "What does the virtuous brother want?" ’
It's all this stuff, there was supposed to be a football game today, but he misremembered the time, so we're going to go and see it now. Li Duowen knocked on the head of a companion, and the man rubbed his head, pretending that I was careless. In fact, I really want to say in my heart, in fact, didn't you decide to come here to listen to the play?
'Is it too late to get over now?' It's okay if it's too late, it's probably too late, but then there's the horse race, and it's okay to watch that.' ’
'Horse race. Li Chen was also interested, by the way, there is a horse race today, Li Chen thought, "I have only heard of this horse race, I don't know where it is, why don't we go together?" ''Okay, let's go.'' ’
At the moment, Li Chen didn't enter the Chang'an Theater anymore, and the two groups of people merged and simply went to watch the game together. The venue of the competition was outside the city, so they went to Yanxingmen again. Along the way, the two talked very warmly, and the same surname became a bond, and the words were a little more eager. Li Chen is the elder, and he calls himself his brother, and this is Li Xian's brother.
'Haha, when I return to Chang'an this time, I don't plan to follow the old man. If I die, I will also die in Chang'an. So much more fun stuff. ’
'Football, I haven't seen it before. It's a lot more fun to play than Keju. I also formed a football club with my friends, planning to compete for the championship of the next Datang Football Tournament. I'm afraid it's not easy, it's hard to say elsewhere, this Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't know how many football clubs have been formed. ’
That's right, it's a pity, I originally wanted to dig up that ball king, Li Hu came to our football club. It's a pity that the man doesn't get in the oil and salt, it's good, he has a great future and doesn't play football, his brain is broken, and he has to be that soldier. What's the use of being promoted, it's not a matter of selling your strength, it's dangerous, and the income is small. ’
Along the way, I don't know if it's because the two of them talk speculatively, or if this person usually talks a lot, this mouth never stops, and Li Chen is happy to hear a lot of news and rumors from him.
'Public carriage, I've always wanted to take it once. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry every time I went out, and the public carriage was too slow. He was talking about how sorry Li Hu was, people couldn't dig him, how many of the original football players in the army were so good that they all voluntarily retired and went to play football, this Li Hu, I don't know which tendon is wrong, I have to continue to be a soldier to eat food, and even play less ball
Li Chen echoed a few words, and saw a four-wheeled carriage in front of them passing by, and heard this Li Xian brother say something else.
'This four-wheeled carriage is really good, Royal Academy, this technology is amazing. Four-wheeled vehicles are not without before, but they are not easy to use, they created this, it is so convenient, I think it will replace ordinary vehicles in the near future. I've always wanted to buy one, but my grandfather said that it was a woman in the car, and he said that he wouldn't buy it for me. ’
Four-wheeled carriages, China has been using two-wheeled carriages for thousands of years. Four-wheeled carriages have appeared, but they don't seem to be popular. There are six wheels, but it is a hearse for the monarch. Most people have two wheels, and there is no four-wheel position at all.
Li Chen remembers that there was a debate on the Internet, saying that China's technology was not as good as that of ancient Europe, and that it could not build a four-wheeled carriage, which was evidence... Yun Yun. Some people also say that this four-wheeled carriage is not suitable for the terrain of China.
The reason is to compare Europe and Asia. At least 60% of Europe is plain, with low mountains and hills, which are suitable for horse-drawn carriages. The earliest four-wheeled carriages are said to have appeared in southern Northern Europe.
And what about China? The terrain is more complex. Although there are more places in the northern plains, the problem is. In the era of China's relatively advanced technology, the economic center has shifted to the south of the Yangtze River.
The terrain of the Jiangnan area is very clear to everyone. It is mountainous, watery, and has quite a lot of flat paddy fields. Four-wheelers are not very suitable in China. Especially in the Loess Plateau, the birthplace of civilization, and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, four-wheeled vehicles will have deep ruts, and the wheels will be unstable. Qin Shi Huang's book is the same text, and the car is on the same track, which is the meaning.
In addition, in China's climate, rainfall is more concentrated in summer, which can easily wash away dirt roads, and two-wheeled vehicles are more flexible. In fact, China is not without four-wheeled carriages. Inside the heavenly creation, there are patterns, and the four **** carriages have patterns.
However, because there is no such environment, the four wheels did not become popular. In that pattern, the carriage was so big that it would take several horses. In China, the number of horses is always insufficient, which is also why people say that China is not unable to build four-wheeled carriages, but that there is no demand.
However, for Li Chen, there are actually ways to overcome them, so Li Chen proposed the technology of the four-wheeled carriage, and asked them to study it, and they soon had results.
Seriously, Li Chen has the intention to use a four-wheeled vehicle to replace the two-wheeled vehicle as much as possible. Two-wheeled vehicles, not very efficient. It is also a kind of harm to the animals that pull the carts. Because, in the case of two wheels, part of the weight is pressed on the animal. Livestock not only have to pull, but also bear the load, which is naturally not efficient.
As for the four wheels, the animal only needs to be responsible for pulling, and the weight is all on the four wheels. Naturally, the efficiency is much higher. This is in terms of efficiency.
As for other problems, in Li Chen's opinion, they are not problems. Afraid of road crashes? Cement roads, replacing dirt roads with cement. There will be no ruts and roads washed away by heavy rain.
Secondly, the number of horses is insufficient. Please, aren't there still cows and donkeys? Besides, because of the shortage, there should be a four-wheeled carriage, the reason has just been said, four-wheeled vehicles, livestock are easier to pull, livestock is insufficient, four-wheeled vehicles can provide a greater carrying capacity.
Again, on the issue of the mountainous and watery nature of the south. It's all about widening the road and building bridges. Four-wheeled vehicles are difficult to walk, can two-wheeled vehicles float across the river?
Unless, the two-wheeled vehicle has a way to exceed the four-wheeled in terms of carrying capacity, and the problems faced by the four-wheeler are only the goals that must be overcome, not the reason for his elimination.
Then the group walked out of Yanxing Gate and followed a newly paved stone road all the way to the destination. Datang National No. 1 Stadium....
In front of them, there was a very large, uncountable crowd of people, a public carriage, which was dropping off the guests. The four-wheeled cart can carry more than ten people when fully loaded. Like buses, there are fixed stop signs and routes. It was well received as soon as it was launched.
Thanks to the suspension and suspension system, the comfort of this car is not comparable to that of traditional two-wheelers. It's no wonder that Li Duowen wanted to buy it, as soon as this car appeared, it was very favored, and Datang Royal Automobile Dealers received countless orders.
However, most of them are passenger cars. No one seems to see his carrying potential. And Li Chen, of course, will not be negligent. At present, in addition to the public carriages running on Chang'an Street, there are also a number of four-wheeled vehicles and four-wheeled trucks, which have been manufactured and used for testing.
'So many. Li Chen was a little amazed, there were too many people, almost the entire Datang National No. 1 Stadium, the front was stuffed.
'It's okay, come with me. Li Duo said with dismay. (To be continued.) )
