"It's not bad, I've been waiting for a long time when it opens." Old Demon King Cheng said with some emotion.

The crowd nodded approvingly.

I can't help but sigh, the total investment here is as high as more than three million taels, at that time, in order to raise this huge amount of money, many people present have sold a lot of their properties, the donation can be described as huge, not only in the money and silver to contribute, in the process of road construction encountered difficulties and disputes, the people present more or less have come forward to mediate, can not sell a lot of old faces, hard work for so long, finally see success in sight, can not be happy?

"Well, father-in-law, uncles, the juniors have a proposal" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Changluo Expressway opened, always have people to try, test, we are the first batch of people to pass first, this is a moment worth remembering, but also a moment to create a record, when the time to engrave a monument, it is better to do this, let's have a competition, see which one arrives first, you have to be careful, because the newspaper will soon record the detailed report of this competition." ”

After a pause, Liu Yuan continued: "At the end of this road, it is Luozhou, there is a very famous restaurant in Luozhou, called Invite Yue Lou, the younger generation has sent someone to book a sumptuous banquet in Invite Yue Lou, you will gather in Invite Yue Lou, after using up, full of wine and food, and then take the carriage back the same way, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Okay, the first to use first, the slow runner can only eat leftovers." Old Demon King Cheng immediately agreed.

"It's kind of interesting, a few of our old comrades-in-arms haven't ridden horses together for some days, and we're competing with each other." Li Jing nodded and said with some nostalgia.

Niu Jinda also said happily: "Okay, my old cow has not moved his muscles and bones for some days, just stretch, right." Brother Yu Chi, your body is okay, right? ”

"What's not good, it's that the tiger can still kill two heads" Wei Chi Jingde refused to accept the old, and the most afraid was that someone would say that he couldn't do it, and he was furious when he heard the words: "Okay, you old cow, how can you wear the same pants as that Cheng Laohei, I don't know who is fast and who is slow." ”

Seeing a few generals bickering, the eldest grandson Wuji and Cui Jing both shook their heads, and then smiled at each other, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Cui Xiaoshangshu." Let's lay down our lives to accompany the gentleman. ”

"Just according to the words of the captain." Cui Jing happily responded.

Liu Yuan asked everyone to test, firstly, to give everyone an explanation, and secondly, it was also a form of advertising, so many generals, Shangshu, and Taiwei took this road, which shows its safety. In addition, Liu Yuan hinted that when everyone came, they should choose good horses. This is how I ran to Los Angeles. The time is also short, and it is published in the newspaper, which seems real and attractive, and everyone understands that this test is for propaganda purposes, so they are naturally very cooperative.

The main thing is that so much money is invested. If you don't care, you can't do it.

"Okay, let's line up and let's go together." Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Liu Yuan's face was overjoyed. Start getting the crowd ready.

This test is divided into two parts: day walking and night walking, riding a horse during the day and riding back at night, so that the data is available, of course, this time it is mainly to borrow the name of so many important ministers present, after this run, Liu Yuan has to arrange for other people to experience it.

As soon as it came to the competition, Liu Yuan immediately had a plan for a horse race from Chang'an to Luozhou and gradually took shape in his mind.

Doing so much is mainly to make the name of this highway, through a series of activities such as publicity, subtly let people accept it, like it, and finally complete the transformation from free customers to "paid" customers.

"Ready, run!"

Under an order, Liu Yuan, Cheng Lao Demon King, Qin Qiong and other people hurriedly raised their horses and whipped, like a whirlwind running forward, the people present, one by one, not rich but expensive, there were many guards, they ran, a group of guards hurriedly followed, so, on the first day of the opening of the Changluo Expressway, a group of dozens of people quickly whipped their horses, and the wind rushed towards Luozhou.

The wide, straight road has been extending to the square body of Luozhou, because it is privately built, the road is empty, empty, just used for racing, the group of people quickly whipped, a cheerful face to run forward, Liu Yuan also tried to follow behind:

After running for a long time, the old demon king who ran at the front shouted proudly: "Happy, happy, I haven't experienced this feeling of galloping for some days, hahaha"

"Not bad" Qin Qiong said while shaking the whip: "There are many villains in Chang'an City, and they can't let go of it on weekdays, this is good." ”

Old Demon King Cheng twisted: "Hurry up, hurry up, you guys are slower than General Wei Chi, didn't you eat breakfast?" ”

"Good Cheng Laohei, you just rush your way, why are you pulling the old man for no reason?" Wei Chi Jingde shouted unhappily.

"Ha Luha, don't be angry, brother, praise you for being old and strong."

"Roll"

"Haha"

The horses are superior, the riding skills are exquisite, and the road is smooth, Liu Yuan and his entourage ran a very good result, and soon, the people of Chang'an City knew the five generals from the Chang'an newspaper, plus Liu Yuan, that is, six generals, plus a Ministry of Engineering Shangshu and Taiwei, from Chang'an to Luozhou, it took only four hours, that is, from Luozhou overnight to Chang'an, walking at night, it only took six hours.

Everyone was stunned all of a sudden, four hours, isn't this the morning and the evening, even if it is an eight-hundred-mile emergency, it may not have this speed.

If it is said by others, everyone must scoff at it, thinking that it is bragging, but this is reported by Chang'an Daily, and I have to believe it, and after several generals came back, they also boasted about this harvest with others.

These reports were windy, and as soon as several important officials of the DPRK and the central government had not officially revealed the matter of the Changluo high-speed horse race that was open to the outside world, everyone quickly shifted from the boom of the golden house to the discussion of the busiest official road from Chang'an to Luozhou.

Chang'an to Luozhou, there are two choices, waterway and land, the waterway is from the Guangtong Canal, from the canal to Luozhou, the land route is naturally the official road, of course, now the land route has one more choice, that is, the Changluo Expressway that is about to open to the outside world.

Speaking of this journey, many people are not happy, even a stomach, although the waterway is stable, but the main function of the canal is to transport money and grain into the capital, ordinary people can only honestly stay aside, waiting for the dispatch, sometimes a day and a half of a day delay, it is too ordinary, not that the time is very abundant, ordinary people will not choose the waterway.

And the situation on land is not much better, peddlers and pawns, commercial goods, pedestrians and tourists, post messengers, etc., are running on their roads every day, often overcrowded, so many people, but there is only one official road, there are many people, there are many accidents, sometimes the horse is startled, or the carriage accidentally hits, it is lively, if one side is strong, one side is weak, it is easy to solve, but if both sides are half a pound or a tendon person, this time there is a play to watch, a wall and then blocked, and along the post station against the house, not the general black, As if there is a tacit understanding, an ordinary lower room will cost at least 100 wen a night, and people will eat and chew, and if you don't pay 2 or 300 wen a night, don't want to go out of the store.

These are still light, the most uncomfortable is the road conditions, the road is a dirt road, not strong, those pulling heavy goods of the carriage pressed, immediately is a rut, dusty on a sunny day, dusty all the way, muddy on a rainy day, it is easy to fall into it, so that many local residents regard the rainy day as the God of Wealth to go down to earth, as soon as it rains, they will go to the road and wait, and there is a car stuck in it to help push, of course, this can not be pushed in vain, once thirty Wen, love to give or not.

Comparatively, the Changluo Expressway is the most worth looking forward to, not to mention that the cement road at the mouth of the West Market has been recognized by everyone, that is, what the Chang'an newspaper said, the speed makes people yearn for, especially abandon the mode of ordinary official roads, on the Changluo Expressway, divided into two roads, south and north to occupy a special road, the so-called avenue to the sky, each side of the road, is considered to be blocked, but to avoid blocking the road at the same time, in addition, also unique to set up a rest area, for the smooth flow of traffic, it is not allowed to stop in the middle of the road without authorization, To rest in a specific area, firstly, it will not hinder traffic, and secondly, there will be guards in the rest area to prevent accidents.

Of course, this is a strategy of Liu Yuan, to drive the guests to a place to rest, so that there is a flow of people, and it is easy to do any business, Liu Yuanji plans to build reverse houses, restaurants, characteristic shops, etc. in the rest area, such as brothels, will also rise depending on the situation, anyway, there are connections, it is really to open, and no one dares to say anything, but everything is still on the design paper, and now it is only the opening of the road.

After the construction of the Changluo Expressway, when it will officially start operation, everyone has not yet known, but the issue of tolls, under the instruction of Liu Yuan, began to have extensive discussions.

Someone said in the newspaper that 300 wen at a time is more appropriate, because of the old official road, living in the opposite house, eating, feeding forage and other expenses, this way to say less to this number, not to mention the road and the repair of the carriage wages, and Changluo Expressway also has a free rest area, the rest area also has guards to protect the safety of guests, this alone, is also worth a lot of money.

As soon as the three hundred Wen came out, it immediately caused a wow, some people bluntly said that it was too expensive, and could not afford to consume, and for example, they could not live against the rebellious, eat their own dry food, etc., the cost was only a few dozen Wen, there was no need to spend so much silver, as soon as the report came out, some people made fun of walking more economically, if they were willing to be cheeky, all the way to food, a penny did not have to be spent, some of the owners who were not bad at money, and said above, that is, to spend five hundred Wen to one or two at a time, it was also worth the money.

Like the Golden House, under Liu Yuan's secret momentum, Changluo Expressway has not yet been put into operation, and it has been pushed to the wind, attracting many eyeballs, discussing and discussing, and the most lucrative value is that it is more appropriate to charge 200 Wen at a time, but it is rumored outside, but Liu Yuan sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and does not move.

Liu Yuan was so angry, but Cheng Lao Demon King and Cui Jing couldn't hold their breath. (To be continued......)
