Logistics and transportation are extremely developed on the modern earth, but on the continent of Sainz, for the time being, it is only limited to a small number of personnel and a part of the transportation of goods.

The most critical transportation of goods, taking the Lampari Kingdom as an example, most of the time the major chambers of commerce that produce goods organize their own convoys for transportation, and basically do not hand over the goods to other chambers of commerce to help transport.

On the surface, it is because the chambers of commerce on the Sainz continent do not have this habit, but from the perspective of the underlying reasons, it is really limited by conditions.

First of all, the biggest problem is the road.

Before the Rainy Highway, there was not a single flat road in the entire continent of Sainz that was flat enough for transportation. Goods are easily subject to a lot of bumps on the road, and there will be a lot of losses just in transit, so the chambers of commerce that produce goods are certainly not willing to hand over their important goods to other chambers of commerce for transportation.

Because of this important problem, it is difficult to transport goods on the Sainz continent to distant places, and due to the limited road conditions and transportation speeds, they can be worn out on the road.

For example, although the various household magic machines currently produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have become very famous in Bangta City and several surrounding cities, it has taken more than two years to really cover the whole Lanpari Kingdom, and the biggest reason is the logistics and transportation problem.

The second is the issue of transportation.

The main capacity on the continent of Sainz is horses, and the main means of transportation is horse-drawn carriages.

Aside from the speed and staying power of the carriage, the cost of one or two horses required to make up the carriage alone is extremely high, and the cost of raising horses is even higher. Therefore, it is not easy to assemble a fleet of wagons large enough to transport large quantities of goods.

This condition is limited. It also directly leads to the development of logistics and transportation. This makes the circulation of goods extremely difficult.

Xu Yi is now bringing in President Cruise and President Pomberg at the same time, because the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, represented by President Cruise, has preliminarily solved the most important road problem, and he is about to solve the equally important transportation problem for the Filson Carriage and Horse Company, represented by President Pombery.

"According to our research and development process, this magic locomotive, which is powered by a wind-based magic engine, can provide a maximum of six horses, while still maintaining a high frequency of operation, maintaining a speed of more than 35 kilometers per hour when empty......"

"Wait, thirty-five kilometers per hour?" said President Pompei, interrupting Xu Yi's description of the first generation of magic locomotives with a shocked expression. "So, this thing can run 35 kilometers in an hour, and it's so fast?"

President Cruise on the side also looked incredulous. Shaking his head and sighing: "I thought that Xu Yi told me that the magic locomotive could run nearly forty kilometers in an hour after the successful development was completely bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Xu Yi glanced at the two of them angrily, thinking that the speed of 35 kilometers per hour shocked you like this, so if you saw those F1 cars on the earth that reached a speed of 350 kilometers per hour or even higher, wouldn't you be so shocked that your jaw dropped?

Of course, the carriage on the Sainz continent could only maintain a speed of about twenty kilometers per hour at most, which was not too long, so it was no wonder that the two of them were shocked by the speed of the magic locomotive.

"By the way, Chairman Xu, you just said that this is an empty car. If it was full, it would be much lower, wouldn't it? How much could it be kept? faster or slower than a carriage?" asked President Pompeiry, after a moment's thought.

"Faster than a carriage, of course. Otherwise, what are you going to do with it?" Xu Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Sue you, according to the actual test." The first-generation wind-powered magic locomotives could pull objects weighing up to one tonne and maintain speeds of more than 30 kilometers per hour on flat ground, while also being able to climb slopes with a gradient of no more than 30 degrees. So ......"

Xu Yi turned his head to look at President Cruise: "In order to cooperate with the first generation of magic locomotives, I have to trouble your Amrley Chamber of Commerce to minimize the slope when paving the road in the future, even if it is necessary, the slope should not exceed thirty degrees." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard. "President Cruise was a little embarrassed. "Although most of our country in the country of Lampari is plain, there are still some mountains anyway. If you want to build a road into the mountains, you can't have a slope. ”

"Well, I'll discuss it with you later, but I'll just remind you about it. Anyway, the roads that your Amrley Chamber of Commerce is building now are basically on the plains, and they won't have a high slope. Xu Yidao. And this is only the limitation of the first generation of magic locomotives, and if the research and development of magic locomotives is further advanced in the future, this little slope is not a problem at all. ”

"Winding roads and viaducts?" said President Crews's eyes lit up.

From the meaning of Xu Yi's words, it can be known that these two things are obviously also very important things in the construction of highways, and President Cruise suddenly felt itchy and couldn't wait to discuss it with Xu Yi now.

But at this time, President Pompei had already preemptively asked Xu Yi a question.

"Can a magic locomotive pull up to a ton at a time?" said President Pompeiy's eyes glowed only brighter than President Cruise. "The gods are above! Our two-horse carriage of Filson's carriage and horse can only drag no more than 500 catties at a time!"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I said it." If this magic locomotive isn't as capable as a horse-drawn carriage, then why did I put so much effort into developing it?"

"Yes, yes, I knew that President Xu, you would definitely not do something meaningless. President Pompei nodded again and again, paused, and showed a slightly flattering smile on his face, and asked Xu Yi with a smile: "This...... That one...... President Xu, can you ask what price your new flying chamber plans to set for this magic locomotive?"

"I'll wait until you see the magic locomotive, you haven't actually experienced it, and I don't think you will accept it no matter what price I say. Xu Yi replied.

President Pomberg and President Cruise glanced at each other and nodded slightly, thinking that Xu also showed this attitude, I am afraid that the price of this magic locomotive is definitely not low.

But it's not surprising to think that if the performance of this magic locomotive is really as strong as Xu Yi said, then the price should be higher.

"Taking advantage of this time, let's discuss this logistics matter. Xu Yi brought the conversation back to what he had just said. "I think you should all be well aware of the importance of the flow of goods, so I won't talk nonsense about this aspect, and now we will mainly discuss how to cooperate. Come, look at the map......"

Xu Yi's finger first clicked on Bangta City, and then drew a zigzag line along Bangta City, which continued to Anweimar City on the map.

"See, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce has now built a fully connected road between Bonta City and Anvimar City, and what is more advantageous is that this road will also connect several cities along the way. So now if you start from our Bangta City to Anvimar City, you can take the road all the way, and both speed and comfort are much stronger than before. President Pompeiry, you know this better than I do and President Cruise, don't you?"

"Hmm. President Pompeii nodded. "More people are now willing to take our carriage to and from Anvimar and other cities, because the time is nearly half that of before, from more than three days to only about one day. And guests generally report that it is much more comfortable to ride in a carriage now than before. ”

"Look, that's how important it is to solve the transportation problem. What about the freight?" Xu Yi asked again.

"Freight......" President Pompeii shrugged helplessly. "The big chambers of commerce basically have their own fleets, so they usually don't look for us to travel with horses. Small Chamber of Commerce...... Even if there is a cargo to be transported once, it will not be much, and it is not cost-effective to help them deliver it at all. ”

"So if you Filson Carriage and Horse Dealers can provide faster and faster transportation, will the big merchants be willing to hand over the goods to you for transportation?"

"Of course they will, then!" replied President Pombéry, who was immediately deflated. "But President Xu, even if the magic locomotive you said is very strong, but other chambers of commerce also buy magic locomotives to re-form a team, so why do they have to look for us?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I found you first, this is the advantage of your Filson car and horse shop." Couldn't you grasp the advantage of being one step ahead?"

President Pompeiy's eyes lit up suddenly: "President Xu, tell me, how should we seize this opportunity? What are our advantages over others?"

"There are a lot of places where you can get ahead. Xu Yi replied: "For example, you can be a chamber of commerce specializing in logistics and passenger transportation, so you are much stronger than other chambers of commerce in terms of the number and scale of magic locomotives, because you can handle various businesses more flexibly." ”

"Well, I understand. Whether it's how much or how little cargo needs to be shipped, we can eat it all. Anything else?" asked President Pompei, expectantly.

"For example, because you have purchased a large number of magic locomotives from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you can get the relationship between us and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a priority, so that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can provide a full range of services to your magic locomotives. For example, training qualified magical locomotive drivers for you is one of them. ”

"Driver?" President Pompeiry and President Cruise were stunned. "What's that?"

"To put it simply, he is in charge of driving a magic locomotive, similar to a carriage driver. But ......"

The expression on Xu Yi's face suddenly became a little strange.

"Because the operation requirements and dangers of the magic locomotive are relatively high, the driver who drives the magic locomotive also needs to pass a certain assessment before being allowed to drive. I have written a letter to Her Royal Highness the Queen of Sevigny, asking her to submit a resolution to the Council of the Kingdom requiring all drivers of magic locomotives to have a driver's license, or driver's license, issued by our new flying chamber of commerce.
