Chapter 166: A New Atmosphere

Different people receive differently, choose differently, and can do different things.

As soon as the order for the official launch of the farm-building movement was issued, the entire North China region became lively. First of all, the setting of Ye Congfeng's household registration points, a total of ten of these points were set up. There is one in Beijing, one in Tianjin, and one near Baiyang, and several other cities, but there are only ten in total. Therefore, the team of the field cultivation movement is also divided into ten shares!

Baiyang is the key development area, where the water and fertilizer are the most suitable for reclamation and farming, and it is also the development center formulated by Li Jiancheng.

In addition, several new roads are also developable areas, these roads connect the whole of North China, many places are also suitable for farming, and it is also very convenient to build villages and cultivate fields next to these roads. Now Li Jiancheng's railway has crossed Beijing and Tianjin, and the road from Beijing to Baiyang can be paved in a month at most, and the last road connecting Baiyang to Beijing has decided to be paved with asphalt. Once these roads become easily accessible, they will be greatly enhanced.

And now the people of the Ming Dynasty have seen the power of that kind of railway, and the volume of freight is simply like a ship on land! When you see a railway carriage, you will naturally see a four-wheeled carriage!

Li Jiancheng's car factory is now also in full production of four-wheeled carriages, Li Jiancheng's four-wheeled carriages are equipped with suspension lathes, which are more comfortable than traditional two-wheeled carriages, and the load is much larger, so they are highly favored, and there is a tendency to eliminate traditions, and some are in short supply. With the two-wheeled carriage, because the front end is directly pressed on the horse, the horsepower is greatly limited, and the four-wheeled carriage has no such problem, and the release of horsepower makes a large cart and a group of horses can be pulled.

Now Li Jiancheng has also begun to organize public transportation, recruiting many horsemen from the peasants who can drive horses. Li Jiancheng set up a public transportation company. The first section of the road is Beijing and Tianjin. Due to the convenience of the road, horse-drawn carriages can now run two times a day, and horse-drawn carriages on the railway can run more than three times. Li Jiancheng has invested a lot in transportation, and on average, he can get on a public carriage going back and forth from Beijing and Tianjin in an hour, a railway carriage pulled by two horses, and there is no problem for 20 people in a large carriage. On average, it costs only seven cents per person to make a trip. According to the minimum two round-trip calculations, it costs 5.6 dollars a day to earn silver, and it costs 2.6 dollars just to maintain the vehicles and horses, and one money is the coachman's, and the company only earns two dollars after the last one!

There's no way to benefit the people. 7 Wenqian took a car to Beijing, which was unimaginable before, but now farmers can take it. In the future, these roadsides will be built to open up villages, and naturally bus stops will be set up, and they will definitely be prosperous here according to the road section.

Speaking of the road, I have to say that Li Jiancheng's cement road for the face project, this road can not run a horse once made Li Jiancheng's egg hurt, and he had to build a running road and railway project at the side door. But if there is no such face, there will be no other two roads, and having said that, it is impossible for him Li Jiancheng to leave the cement road unused!

So the people of the Ming Dynasty saw something incredible, that thing was half iron and half wood, and the two wheels in front and one behind had no support. When a person steps on it, it gallops on the ground, comparable to a horse, and the strangest thing is that such a thing does not fall down when it runs!

That's right, what they see is the bike. Since Li Jiancheng's smelting skills have improved, and he has used gunpowder to blast coke for smelting, he has more and more iron, and there is naturally no problem in making bicycle frames.

These bicycles seen by the Ming Dynasty were made of iron from the wheels to the main structure, and the accessories were wood. What gave Li Jiancheng a headache was what the tires were made of. Later, I thought that the outer tires of the car were all petroleum projects, and Li Jiancheng's oil had also been dug out, and rubber training was not a problem. So Li Jiancheng took this method to make tires, from softness to wear resistance, it feels very good, better than running directly on the ground with an iron ring.

However, Li Jiancheng's craftsmanship is still at the bottom, otherwise he would not have to be so troublesome if he could train a rubber comparable to rubber.

The first bicycles were built by Li Jiancheng and distributed them to civil servants, especially the police of the Public Security Bureau, the peasants reclaimed them, and the supervision task was heavy, so almost everyone had one, each of them was like a treasure, and men loved cars as much as they loved women, and they could be regarded as second lives.

The learning of bicycles is simple, and now the police in the capital are stepping on bicycles to go out of their posts, and those who have tasks will pedal along the cement road all the way, easy and comfortable. Others looked envious, Li Jiancheng's bicycle was naturally sold, but at least ten taels of silver each, the sale was comparable to a carriage. After laughing, do you know how much craftsmanship there is? Ten taels of silver to sell you two tires Li Jiancheng is a loss, but this is a public product after all, and when Li Jiancheng's technological means are improving, the price of these cars will naturally be reduced.

Patrolling concrete roads on bicycles is a very comfortable thing, at least that's what the police in this era think, and they are especially comfortable when someone passes by and shows a surprised look. Li Jiancheng's private civil servants all use this kind of car, including Ye Congfeng, and the convenience of bicycles is sometimes better than that of horses.

Today, Ye Congfeng was riding a bicycle and was just about to go to work, when two people with hoes suddenly walked out of front to block the road, Ye Congfeng was very calm, and the people on the opposite side of the bell did not give way, he had to stop the car and asked: "Who are you, for the sake of blocking my way!" ”

The two people on the other side were embarrassed and said, "Well, we're here to sign up, we're going to reclaim!" ”

Ye Congfeng frowned and said, "Sign up at the city gate, why are you blocking my way here?" … Wait, you're also outcasts? ”

Ye Congfeng said a word first, and at this time he also observed that these two people did not look like homeless people, and suddenly he recognized it, isn't this Yang Lian, the minister of the imperial court, and Zuo Guangdou?

Yang Zuo and the two were stunned, and Zuo Guangdou said: "Naturally, we are not homeless, and we are not here to ask for fields, but to help!" ”

Ye Congfeng listened to it for a while, and he said, "Are the two adults sure?" You're going to go into battle yourself! ”

The two of them were embarrassed when they were recognized, and Yang Lian said, "Uh, sure, I'm really here to help!" ”

Ye Congfeng was not polite to them, he said directly: "Come to help, the registration is also at the city gate, the two of them have explained in the past, our team is unified and the command is the same, and there will be no special treatment for the two of them to join." ”

Yang Zuo and the others were a little angry when they heard his unkind words, and the two of them came to Ye Congfeng naturally to mix up and do things well, but the other party actually spoke like this, and they didn't intend to let them join in at all, so the two of them were a little annoyed. But these two people finally calmed down, Yang Lian said: "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the city gate to sign up!" ”

"I wish you two a smooth journey!" Saying that, Ye Congfeng rode away.

"This is too much, too little to take us and others seriously!" Zuo Guangdou said.

Yang Lian said helplessly: "Treat everyone equally!" I'm afraid this is the meaning of His Majesty, to show our determination to wait, we can only start from scratch! ”

Zuo Guangdou smiled helplessly, he also understood this truth, and said: "Then let's go, the hoe has been carried for a long time, and I can't help but throw the ground!" (To be continued......)
