From 20,000 to 100,000, it only took more than half a month. Just last month, the average daily passenger traffic of stagecoaches in Chang'an City has reached 257,000 people, according to the shortest two stops per person, 257,000 people is 1,028, and the average monthly income has reached more than 30,000.

After deducting the relevant maintenance costs and wages and rations, there was a surplus of 17,000 per month, which was not only up and down the Ministry of Communications, but even this son was taken aback, my conservative estimate is that at least half a year to be able to protect the capital, and strive for profit within a year, but I didn't expect it.

In just five months, it has made a profit of more than 17,000 yuan. It must be surprising that when professionals were sent to investigate, it was determined that the guys from the National Transport Company were not lying.

What is Chang'an? Chang'an can be regarded as the first mega city with a population of more than one million in the world, and after more than a year of support, Chang'an's industry and commerce have developed rapidly, and the number of guests and traders who come and go to the east and west of Chang'an every day has reached 200,000.

In addition, more than one million people in Chang'an must need to go out every day, just before the Chinese New Year, statistics have been made again, and there are a total of 1,273,754 residents in Chang'an City and within 20 miles around Chang'an City.

In addition, there are more than 100,000 troops, plus those floating people from all over the world, the number of people can reach at least about 1.6 million.

In the past year, the population of Chang'an has been increasing substantially, and after Yang Guang moved the capital to Luoyang, the population of Chang'an and its surroundings has dropped from more than 1 million at its peak to more than 980,000 people.

However, now, the entire Guanzhong is under my rule, and the development of industry and commerce is vigorous, and in addition, the population is not allowed to move, so that the floating population of Chang'an City has reached an advanced scale.

However, this is far from the capacity of a super giant city like Chang'an, which has reached a radius of 84 square kilometers. Think about it, the Kaifeng Mansion in the later Song Dynasty was only 50 square kilometers, with a population of more than 1 million, and the population of Beijing City in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which was 60 square kilometers, was more than 1.2 million at its peak. What's more, Chang'an?

Anyway, Ben Gongzi can't help but admire those ancient architects, it seems that he has long expected such an overcrowded situation in a national capital like Chang'an, so the roads are built extremely wide, giving great convenience to the passage of those stagecoaches, because after the use of stagecoach traffic, many people simply give up the slow ox cart, but take the stagecoach instead.

Make road traffic more convenient, in addition, strict traffic rules, all pedestrians must take the sidewalk, it is strictly forbidden to walk on the vehicle passage in the middle of the road, who dares to offend, sorry, guilty of money, not only fines, but also record the name and address.

If he was caught for the second time, he would let this guy go to work as a volunteer traffic propagandist and distribute leaflets on the street for two days, for which many people who like to run blindly criticized this matter, but after this son ordered the newspaper to report several news that pedestrians were hit by horse-drawn carriages and died and disabled.

Those guys were stunned, after all, no one wanted to fill in their own net worth with their lives for the sake of such convenience.

Therefore, according to the population and the number of daily trips, 257,000 passengers, which is still a small amount, according to the calculation of the population of the city with a population of just one million in later generations, the daily number of passengers taking the bus must reach at least 450,000 passengers per day to be considered basically qualified.

And this does not include private cars and taxis, and in this era, the number of people who really own private carriages, the entire Chang'an, will not exceed a thousand. In addition, the flow of people in a national capital like Chang'an must exceed that of an ordinary city with a population of one million. Its daily transportation volume will have to be at least doubled to basically meet the transportation needs of ordinary people and business people in Chang'an.

Now it is not that no one is in the car, and each stagecoach is strictly allowed to squeeze in only 50 people and carry a maximum of 50 catties of goods. But even so, the production of stagecoaches has not been able to keep up with the use. Therefore, the carriage manufacturing company in Hancheng County no longer sends goods to Chang'an once a month, but sends the first wave of every ten vehicles to Chang'an.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Communications, Chang'an City alone needs at least 1,500 to 2,000 eight-wheeled carriages to meet the needs of Chang'an City. What a shocking number, at least Ben Gongzi was also taken aback.

As the big boss behind the Hancheng County Carriage Manufacturing Company, he knows very well that this number alone is equivalent to a year of non-stop production of the Hancheng County Carriage Manufacturing Company, and other types of carriages can only be shelved.

To this end, as early as the end of last year, under the order of the prince, the Royal Carriage Manufacturing Company once again expanded its production scale, and at the end of this year, the company expanded from the annual output of 1,000 vehicles to 2,500 vehicles, and strive to reach an annual output of 5,000 vehicles within three years, and build the largest carriage production plant in the world.

Don't look at 5,000 cars seems to be a lot, but in fact, after the cement straight road is built, people with a little money are not willing to squeeze a stagecoach with others, what should I do? It is only equipped by itself, but many patents for four-wheeled carriages have been registered by the carriage manufacturing company under Ben Gongzi, and if you want to produce it, you must spend a lot of money on the right to use the patent.

Otherwise, if you are caught, I'm sorry to punish you and you can be punished for bankruptcy, well, the national patent office has been established, not only patents for various devices, but even many patents in medicine have been registered, such as this son has registered a number of patents for thermometers, blood pressure monitors, stethoscopes and other medical devices.

As long as it is authorized to a certain manufacturer, then my son will have countless money in my pocket. Although the term of an invention patent is only 20 years, the term of a utility model patent and a design patent is only 10 years.

However, even so, as long as the name of the Royal Carriage Manufacturing Company is established, even if the patent time limit is reached, what can it be? Think about the old brands that have been handed down for hundreds of years in later generations, and they will not still live a nourishing life in the 21st century.

Anyway, now the order for the four-wheeled carriage of the Royal Carriage Manufacturing Company has been scheduled for March next year, and there are many cheeky fox friends who come to Ben Gongzi, hoping that I can help them cut into the queue and get the carriage in their hands as soon as possible.

Although it is a bit shameless to do this, not only can these guys not be able to despise me, but they also have to thank me for this righteous brother. Otherwise, this son really wants to do official business, let alone a year, if this son is yin to them, he won't be able to get it for a year and a half.

Everyone also fell silent, and Wu Shi Tong nodded and sighed: "There are only five stagecoaches to Hanzhong now, and it is not a small project to get all the carriages that can transport a division, as well as supplies and spare horses." ”

Luo Shixin grinned and said, "Then just let the soldiers walk, but it's only six or seven hundred miles away, what's this?" At the end of that year, the general also led his army to attack thousands of miles, and he didn't think it was a big deal. ”

These words brought many generals back to their senses. "That's right, we haven't walked such a good road in the past, but we can travel for more than 80 miles in a day without any problem, and now there is a wide and flat cement straight, I believe that there should be no big problem in reaching the chessboard pass within ten days." Qin Qiong high-fived and said with a happy face.

"There is no need to use so many carriages, in fact, today's cement straight, compared to the past roads, is already a smooth road for our soldiers, seven hundred and eighty miles, our soldiers can arrive within ten days even if they rely on two legs, no matter how slow." Qu Tutong stroked the long beard under his chin and nodded, and said to the ministers.

"But in this case, we must find a way to keep it secret, after all, the ten-day situation is enough for Yicheng County in Shuzhong to receive the news, so we must be prepared." Li Jing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he expressed his worries.

"Decameron...... Indeed, now in Guanzhong, the territory extends in all directions, there are no checkpoints, and it is not forbidden to come and go, and it is indeed easy to leak military information. Qu Tutong couldn't help frowning slightly. Moreover, out of the chessboard pass, this road is difficult to walk, and it is the limit to be able to travel thirty or fifty miles a day. ”

"The difficulty of the Shu Road, the difficulty of going to the blue sky......" I couldn't help but sigh, in order to attack the land of Bashu, I know more about the difficult traffic in the land of Bashu, for this reason, this son will spend a lot of money to insist on opening up the road from Hanzhong to Qipanguan.

In the past, if you want to go from Hanzhong to Yicheng County to Miangu County, you have to walk for at least nearly a month, because the road is too rugged and difficult to walk. The road from Hanzhong to Qipanguan is not only the first to be built, but also the most invested.

It took a lot of effort to dig the rocks, and seven tunnels with a length of about one mile were directly opened, which straightened the road. And for the sake of this road, at least seventy workers fell

"By the way, how many soldiers and horses are there in Yicheng County?" I raised my brow and asked.

"Your Majesty, Yicheng County has a total of 7,000 soldiers and horses, of which the original Dasui County seat is 4,000, and the next 3,000 are the militia recruited by the county guard. Therefore, don't be an ordinary young man. "As a member of the General Staff Headquarters, Li Jing naturally has a very clear idea of the primary target of attack.

"Seven thousand...... "I stroked my brow. Seven thousand soldiers and horses, can you stop the tens of thousands of heroes of our Chinese Renaissance Army? ”

"Naturally not, even if it is the elite of the 7,000 previous dynasties, it will be difficult to defeat the blow of our Huaxia Revival Army." Qu Tutong couldn't help but replied proudly.
