Obviously, such a public carriage concept is also from Lu Chengqi's hand. As early as the opening www.biquge.info of the Chi Road, Lu Chengqi said that not all the Chi Dao built by spending a lot of money and silver were classified as military. Rather, it was for the benefit of the people, and most of the time it was civilian, except for the temporary military administration during the war.

After Chidao was put into civilian use, the people of Chang'an City gradually accepted this new thing, and with only one copper coin, they could take the carriage that only high-ranking officials and nobles could afford to spend money on. In this way, the Chinese people, who generally love face, will not care about the penny, and most of them are proud to have ridden in public carriages.

So, a few days before the official opening of the public carriage on Chidao, the people of Chang'an City, who came to taste the freshness, surrounded the starting station and Chang'an City North Station, and scrambled to take a ride in the carriage that they were reluctant to spend money on weekdays.

Such a grand occasion lasted for nearly a month. Later, due to the decline of freshness, this situation slowly decreased. It's just that in the past month, the Urban Defense Division, which has been struggling to maintain order, has complained that they have done too much work, but the salary they get is still the same. But why don't they want to think about how much more money they get than before the military reform? In addition, the curfew has been lifted in Chang'an City, and their main job now is to maintain law and order in Chang'an City, assist in the arrest of prisoners, or take turns at the gates of various yamen. This work is easy and enjoyable, and it is another day to go home after work.

Now it's just one more platform to maintain order, and it's only been busy for a month, which is already a fairy-like treatment for farmers who beg for a living in the fields every day. I have to say that the men in the Qin land are bloody, and in order to squeeze into the public carriage, they will fight if they don't agree with each other. Fortunately, the City Defense Division arrived in time to stop the expansion of the situation. And these bloody men, because of the prestige of the official family, did not dare to make another mistake, and order was maintained.

Within a month, the gallop road under the Ordnance Supervision Department was changed from one to two in parallel, and it was stipulated that you should drive on the right. As a result, the rate of carriage transportation will increase, but the steel consumed will also increase.

This public carriage was actually not fast, because the carriage was too large, and it was required to carry 20 people, which was almost equivalent to a minibus in later generations. So it could only be pulled by two horses, so that the speed of the carriage was reduced. There is no way, if you want to pull more passengers, it is necessary to reduce the speed. If pulled by a horse, the horse will lose weight very quickly, and the horse's lifespan will be reduced. Although there is no shortage of horses in Dashun, the price of a horse is also very expensive. If it's a medium horse, it's even worse. There's no reason to kill hundreds of horses in order to make that much money, right? Such a loss-making business, Lu Chengqi will never do it. The purpose of this public carriage is also to earn back some of the costs of building a gallop, although it is a drop in the bucket, but it is better than the chatter of the household department Shangshulin Town every time, saying that the ordnance supervision fee is very much.

It is also a compromise to let the household earn some fares for raising horses and maintaining gallops and carriages. Lu Chengqi couldn't understand why the 80 million yuan was used so quickly. Now that he looks at this gallop and thinks of the use of the research and development of the weapons superintendent, Lu Chengqi also understands.

Why did only the Song Dynasty attach importance to the development of ordnance in all dynasties in the official history? That's because although the territory of the Song Dynasty was a little smaller, it had a developed economy, and because of the foreign enemies, the combat effectiveness of the Han people was not as good as that of those nomads, so they had to start from the aspect of ordnance to improve their military strength. However, it has been proven that no matter how powerful the weapon is, even the most courageous army will be defeated in the absence of a system. The demise of the Song Dynasty was largely a man-made disaster.

Lu Chengqi also understood this, so on the one hand, he developed firearms, and on the other hand, he improved the military system and realized the separation of military and political affairs. The literati leading the troops is simply a joke in Lu Chengqi's opinion. He has a stable place for training officers-the Royal Military Academy, and the low, middle and senior officers trained from it are all under Lu Chengqi's orders, so why should he send any supervisors to prevent the generals from supporting the army and respecting themselves?

Even if the general has this heart, which of the people below will listen to him? Lu Chengqi deeply felt that the emperor commanded the Privy Council, and the Privy Council gave the generals the right to transfer troops, which was a good method. In this way, the emperor was able to keep the military power firmly in his hands. If the privy counsellor of the Privy Council is disobedient, it will not do any harm if he is immediately replaced. It's just that any seemingly perfect system will have its flaws, but Lu Chengqi hasn't discovered it yet.

With a concern in his heart, Lu Chengqi boarded the public carriage. And the people who were about to get on the car, when they saw the imperial guards with Pu Dao, they didn't dare to make a mistake. The Chinese people know very well that there are two official words, and it is impossible to fight with officials, and it is better to have more than one thing, so they took the initiative to get out of the way. Even the people who got on the bus got out of the carriage under the pretext, and even if they lost a penny, they had to wait for the next one.

The public carriage is also unmanned, and next to the driver, there is a coin box into which passengers have to throw a copper coin before boarding. Lu Chengqi was penniless, he went straight to the car, smiled at the coachman, and said, "The people behind pay." ”

It was also the first time that the coachman had seen a rich boy dressed in silk and satin come to ride in a public carriage, and he didn't know what to say for a while. When he came back to his senses, he caught a glimpse of the guards with knives following behind, and he didn't say much with interest. He was hired by the household department to pay wages, and he can be regarded as half a servant, so he still has this eyesight. This group of people can carry a knife at any time to protect the noble son who got into the car first, and at a glance, he knows that it is either a member of the yaunai or a member of the royal family. Lu Jiazizhuo is not known to the world, thinking about it this way, this person is likely to be the saint today!

"By the way, only today's saints will take the public carriage that dignitaries disdain!" The coachman was not stupid, and he quickly guessed Lu Chengqi's true identity.

And Lu Chengqi didn't know that his identity had been seen through by the coachman, and he still observed the interior of the public carriage with great interest. The interior of this public carriage is not luxurious, except for the wheels at the bottom, which are made of iron, and the carriages and seats are all wooden. Unlike later buses, this carriage uses a well-known bench as a seat, which is very close to life. This is also why dignitaries and nobles disdain to take the public carriage, and it is too bad to sit on the bench that is nailed to the carriage.

However, Lu Chengqi felt that such a bench was similar to the subway in later generations, and suddenly found a sense of intimacy. Thinking of the days when I took the subway to work every day before I was reborn, it seems that it was just yesterday, and I really miss the hazy weather!

Lu Chengqi looked at the blue sky outside the car window, knowing that he could never go back, and sighed slightly in his heart...... (To be continued.) )
