Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1732, the speed of the car
"Clang~clang~"

On the concrete road between Beijing and Tianjin, there are many pedestrians, vehicles and horses. As a road connecting the two most prosperous cities in Daming, it has been built for more than ten years. It is the first concrete road in Daming, and it is also the most prosperous in Ming Dynasty One of the busy roads.

The road is very spacious, the two sides are for pedestrians to walk, and the lanes in the middle are for carriages and horses. The two-way eight-lane design is also very forward-looking, and it is even divided into fast lanes, slow lanes, etc. Lane.

The four-wheeled carriages here in the slow lane are leisurely and leisurely, neither in a hurry nor slow, while in the fast lane are carriages and bicycles driven by multiple horses driving fast.

The entire road is in good order, busy with traffic, very busy.

On both sides of the road, you can see all kinds of tea spots, small restaurants, inns, noodle shops, etc. almost everywhere, all of which are opened by villagers from the villages around the road. Vendors sell things like melons and fruits on the side of the road.

On both sides of the road, you can also see brand-new residential buildings, forming beautiful small villages. Relying on the roads with convenient transportation, people are slowly building their houses to both sides of the road.

There are also some factories set up on both sides of the road, which is convenient for timely transportation of materials and goods. The factories in Jinjin area are now gradually overflowing to the surroundings. Basically, some factories can be seen in places with convenient transportation.

"Haha, haha~"

"It's so fast!"

The bus was driving on the spacious concrete road. On the bus, these young men who had nothing to do were looking at both sides of the road excitedly, and then kept waving to both sides of the road.

When the window was opened, gusts of wind kept coming in, and it didn't feel too hot. Looking at the pedestrians on the road, many people were already too hot.

Even hard-working horses, many of them are already tired and out of breath, which makes the owners who love the horses have to stop frequently to rest and rest on the side of the road.

"What is this?"

Soon, someone noticed the fast-moving passenger car on the road, and immediately looked over in unison.

The passenger car was huge, like a huge square box, and it was fast, much faster than a four-wheeled carriage. It was full of people, and they all waved excitedly at everyone.

"Is this the car mentioned in the newspaper?"

"But it should be a car. I saw a car yesterday, but it's not that big."

"This seems to be the passenger car mentioned in the newspaper?"

Everyone looked at the bus leaving at high speed, and immediately started discussing it.

On the road, a group of teenagers were competing on bicycles, each of them pedaling their bicycles vigorously. The speed was already very fast, faster than that of a four-wheeled carriage.

However, when the bus caught up, they were all dumbfounded. The speed of the bus was even faster than their bicycles.

"Haha, haha~"

"Hurry up, hurry up, ride hard."

"Your speed is too slow, why are you like a tortoise?"

On the bus, many young masters couldn't help laughing happily when they saw the teenagers who were pedaling vigorously.

"Ma egg ~"

"I'm going~"

"What the hell is this?"

"Is this a car?"

When the teenagers on bicycles heard this, they couldn't help cursing immediately. No matter how hard they pedaled, they could only watch helplessly as the other party slipped away and gradually disappeared at the end of the road. .

"This speed is really fast enough!"

On the bus, the businessman Fan Li carefully experienced the speed of the car while riding in it.

"It's going uphill~"

At this time, Fan Li looked forward, and saw a long slope ahead, not too steep, but the slope was relatively long, the speed of the four-wheeled carriages on the road suddenly slowed down, all the drivers got out of the car, and started Help push the four-wheeled carriage up.

Only the bikers got off the bikes and began to push the carts at this moment. Some of the bikes carried heavy goods, and even had to ask some pedestrians to help push them together.

Whether it is a carriage or a bicycle, the most suitable road is a flat road without too many ups and downs.

Once the road is undulating and has a relatively steep slope, it will be difficult to walk and even quite threatening.

"Clang~clang~"

Fan Li took a closer look at the driver who was driving, and saw that he kept ringing the bell on the car, and then stepped on the accelerator, the speed of the bus didn't decrease much, and it went uphill without the slightest delay, the speed was still quite acceptable.

"Haha, I'm tired~"

"Hurry up and change the car, hurry up and change the car~"

"Taking a car doesn't have to be so tiring."

On the bus, the young masters smiled at the people who were sweating profusely climbing uphill on the road, which made Fan Li frown. These young masters are really speechless.

You are naturally not tired at all sitting on the bus, but there is no need to mock passers-by on the road like this.

Shaking his head slightly, Fan Li continued to feel carefully, the bus climbed up this long slope very quickly, the speed was very fast, and everyone sitting on the bus would not feel the slightest bit of fatigue.

Then it's downhill.

If it is a four-wheeled carriage or a bicycle, the downhill road is even more tiring, especially when you are carrying a lot of goods, you have to be more careful, you can only go down slowly, and you don’t dare to let go Brake, for fear that if you are not careful, you will be turned over.

But the passenger car is different, it looks very relaxed and light, and it goes down the long slope very simply and easily.

"This car is really nice!"

"No wonder it can be sold so expensive. You get what you pay for. With this car, it will be much more convenient and faster to carry people or deliver goods."

Looking back at this long slope, I have already descended the long slope, but on the other side of the slope, I guess those people are still working hard on the slope.

Fortunately, the areas between Beijing and Tianjin are basically plains, with very few slopes, and the slopes are deliberately avoided when building roads. Most of the places are flat plains.

In a flat and open area, the speed of the passenger car is even faster, constantly surpassing the four-wheeled carriages and bicycles along the way, and constantly advancing under the surprised eyes of many pedestrians on both sides of the road.

"I don't know the price of this bus."

"This trip can bring 500 people, each of whom costs 10 renminbi, and this trip costs 2 taels of silver. Calculated at this speed, you can arrive in Tianjin in 4 hours. You can go at least 100 times in one day. Then That’s forty taels of silver, and this 4000 days is almost [-] taels of silver. Calculated, even if it is calculated according to the price of the car, it can be paid back in about half a year.”

"Even if the population, gasoline, and consumption are calculated, if you invest in this bus, it will be enough to pay back the cost in about a year."

"This business can definitely be done."

"And the speed of this bus is quite good. It is most suitable for long-distance travel."

"Some roads are not easy to walk, and where there are many slopes, this bus is more convenient."

"The climbing and descending things are much better than the four-wheeled carriage."

Fan Li calculated carefully, the more he calculated, the brighter his eyes lit up.

"And you can also transport some goods, which can also be regarded as an additional income."

Thinking of these, Fan Li was extremely moved.

"Clang~clang~"

The bus was driving continuously on the road, and the cool wind blew over, which brought Fan Li back to his senses. Looking at the time again, an hour had passed, and half of the distance had already been traveled by this time.

"Let's take a break, everyone who wants to go to the latrine~"

The driver parked the car in a small shop area on the side of the road. There are tea sellers, small restaurants, people who sell melons and fruits, and people who specialize in drinking water and fodder for horses. At this time, the weather is hot, and many pedestrians are Stop here to rest.

As soon as the bus stopped, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the surrounding shops and looked over curiously.

"Haha, the speed is very fast. I have already arrived at Qingkou Town in just an hour, and I can go to Tianjin in another hour~"

"Isn't it, this speed is awesome."

"Come on, get out of the car and drink some tea, rest, rest."

"This car is really good. I will definitely buy a Mercedes-Benz in the future, so that it will be much more convenient to travel to and from Tianjin in the future."

The door opened, and the young masters came down one by one with their fans. Because they were traveling in a carriage, they lived in a manner that was not messy at all. If they were traveling in a four-wheeled carriage in the past, they would already be sweating profusely by now. It's too elegant and chic.

"Is this a car?"

"Why is it different from what the newspaper said?"

"It's different. Yesterday, there were a few cars here. They were all small. It's the first time I've seen a big car."

"Rand bumpkin, this is a passenger car, a kind of car, specially used to carry passengers. It can hold more than 20 people at a time."

"Yeah, it just looks different!"
