Datang romantic little landlord

They really didn't know what Li Wangyou meant by the public carriage.

Li Wangyou stretched out his hand and handed over a blueprint, which was a schematic sketch he had just drawn.

The drawing on the picture is still a four-wheeled carriage, the difference is that the box of the carriage is very high, enough for a person to stand in it.There are two benches on the left and right sides, and some wooden poles in the middle of the carriage.

Carpenter Liu looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand why.

This carriage compartment is obviously not for pulling goods.But it was completely different from the "luxury version" of the carriage that Li Wangyou asked him to build before. Not only was it very simple, but he didn't understand what the wooden poles in the middle were for.

"Lang Jun, what is the purpose of this public carriage? Forgive me for being stupid, I didn't understand it." Old Village asked.

Li Wangyou said with a smile: "For transporting people, the seats on both sides can be used for passengers to sit and rest. The wooden pole in the middle is for people to stand in the carriage and hold them with their hands to prevent them from falling."

Carpenter Liu finally understood after Li Wangyou's explanation, but he still asked in doubt: "Mr. Lang, is this public carriage used to pull people? Where is it used?"

Li Wangyou smiled and explained the concept of the stagecoach to Lao Cunzheng and the others, and finally made them suddenly understand, and couldn't help clapping their hands.

"Okay, this method is really good! I have been to Chang'an City several times, and it is really too big. It takes several hours to walk from entering the city to Dongshi. This method is very good, sir. This public carriage It’s sure to be a hit.”

"That's right, that's exactly the case. Mr. Lang is indeed a Wenqu star descending from the sky. He can think of such a way, tsk tsk, this public carriage is really amazing."

The old village is a bit puzzled: "Mr., only two pennies are charged at a time, isn't that too cheap?"

Li Wangyou was speechless, why is this old man the same as Li Er?They all dislike the two pennies for too little money.

He could only calculate the expected income of the stagecoach to Lao Cunzheng and others, and then these old men became happy.As long as the public carriage can make money, they believe that Li Wangyou will not lose money to the dealers.

Li Wangyou finally said: "The public carriages in Chang'an City, I plan to partner with the village in this business, I don't know what the old villager and the old men think?"

"Lang Jun, you are flattering us. There is no reason for me to refuse. I will treat the 120 seven households. Thank you for your kindness." Worry sent money to their village again.

"That's good. Since that's the case, I'll pay for the cost of building the carriage and buying the harness. The income is [-]-[-]. My mansion and the village each get half. As for how much the farmers who drive the carts get , let Muramasa and you discuss it yourself."

Li Wangyou's words frightened Lao Cunzheng and the others. He quickly stood up and waved his hands repeatedly to refuse: "Lang Jun, you can't do it, you can't do it. The village can take [-]%. How dare you share it with Lang Jun? It doesn’t make sense where this is going.”

"Yes, sir, this is too much to do."

"There is no reason for you to spend all your capital, and I will just sit back and reap the benefits. This is absolutely impossible."

Li Wangyou rubbed his temples with a headache, these old men are too stubborn.

"Okay, the village will also pay half of the capital, and then [-] to [-] cents, that's it. One more thing, I won't do this business."

Now Dingzhou Village is not short of money. At the beginning, the Qiu family took out a large amount of copper coins and bought a share from the old village. In addition to the share of SF Carriage Shop for half a year, the public account of the village was a little money. Not a lot.

Several people in the old village saw Li Wangyou speak so resolutely, they could only thank Li Wangyou again and again, and settled the matter.

Carpenter Liu slapped his chest loudly: "I'll go back immediately and start building this carriage, so I promise not to delay my husband's work."

Now Li Wangyou asked Carpenter Liu to build more and more things, including the surrounding villages and towns who also came here to find Carpenter Liu to build their own waterwheels, carriages and other objects.Carpenter Liu was also shrewd, so he simply recruited many apprentices from the village and surrounding villages, and set up the first carpentry workshop in Dingzhou Village.

His three sons all became masters in the workshop, leading a group of apprentices to make various objects, and the business was quite prosperous.

There are nearly 200 households in Dingzhou Village who work as husbandmen in the Shunfeng carriage shop.Within ten days, Liu Carpenter's carpentry workshop naturally couldn't build so many public carriages.However, Li Wangyou was not in a hurry, and pushed all the more than [-] public carriages to Chang'an City.

After ten days, about fifty public carriages can be put into operation on the road, which can meet the initial demand.

After the establishment of public carriages in Chang'an City was confirmed, the farmers in Dingzhou Village naturally all smiled.

It is also driving a horse-drawn carriage, and driving a public carriage in Chang'an City is much better than running around on the road in the wind and rain every day.What's more, you don't have to travel far, and you can drive the carriage back to Dingzhou Village every day "after get off work", so why not.

Li Wangyou also made several trips to Chang'an City in the past few days, and found Cui Zhuo and Lu Dejing. The three of them drew up a preliminary road map for the operation of public carriages based on the map of Chang'an City.

Cui Zhuo and Lu Dejing were also completely convinced by Li Wangyou's ability to "torture". This matter happened one after another.

Only a few days after the turmoil over the construction of road toilets in Chang'an City, the Hu County Uncle came out with a public carriage again.

However, Cui Zhuo and Lu Dejing, the two magistrates of Chang'an City, had to admit that what Li Wangyou came up with was all good things.

Needless to say the road toilets, since the [-] road toilets were put into use, coupled with the supervision of the yamen servants and Marquis Wu, the situation of open defecation is no longer seen.There are no yellow and white things in the streets and alleys, and even the flies and mosquitoes are much less.

This public carriage is even better. It only costs two cents, and it is convenient to travel. Naturally, it is also a good thing for the country and the people.

It's just that neither of them could figure out why Li Wangyou insisted on naming the route of the stagecoach with such weird terms as "one stage stagecoach" and "two stage stagecoach".

Li Wangyou naturally didn't bother to explain, this was of course just another outbreak of his bad taste.Li Wangyou is never tired of being able to bring all kinds of shadows of later generations in the Tang Dynasty.

Cui Zhuo and Lu Dejing didn't go into the details of why these public carriages had to be called "So-and-so road public carriages", but just asked a question, which made Li Wangyou depressed.

"Uncle Huxian, most of the people here are illiterate. I'm afraid it won't work if you write such-and-such road on the carriage? Not to mention the carriage platform you mentioned, and no one can understand the words on it, right?" .”

Li Wangyou was speechless, asshole, I forgot about this.Datang is now illiterate everywhere...

569 Colorful carriage

The earliest tram in China was put into use in Tianjin in 1900.

At that time, the literacy rate of the people in Tianjin was not much better than that of Datang, so at that time, numbers were not used to distinguish lines, but colors were used to distinguish them.

Red, yellow, blue, green, white, flower, and purple, seven tram lines run through the main bustling sections of Tianjin.

As for the so-and-so road used by later generations, it actually originated from the United Kingdom and was translated from English Route, which means "path".

Faced with Cui Zhuo's and Lu Dejing's questions, Li Wangyou could only spare his head, and very painfully proposed to use colors to distinguish the bus routes.

This made Cui Zhuo and Lu Dejing applaud. People are illiterate, and color is the most convenient way to distinguish them.

After the three of them discussed, in Nuo Da's Chang'an City, three horizontal and three vertical lines were arranged, plus a circular route between the West City and the East City. , black and purple in seven colors.

After the matter was discussed properly, Cui Zhuo and Lu Dejing were in charge of arranging the government servants, and went to various lifangs to paste notices, informing the people that the public carriages were about to be put into operation, and the route map of the seven operating routes.

This matter immediately became the hottest topic in Chang'an City, and everyone discussed the matter of the public carriage when they met.

"Dalang, have you heard? Huxian Bo has come up with something new again."

"I know, you are talking about the public carriage, right? Hey, this is a new thing. The county government said that you can travel in a carriage for two cents? Is there such a good thing? Is Hu Xianbo afraid to die?"

"Who knows? Anyway, Uncle Huxian is not short of copper coins, so he can afford to lose. If this is true, I have to thank Uncle Huxian. This is a good thing for us."

"Isn't that right? My old lady has always wanted to go to Xuandu to watch and burn incense. I am an unfilial son. I can't borrow a carriage, and my old lady has inconvenient legs and feet, so I haven't been able to go. If the public carriage is real, it is really blessed by Taoist ancestors. I can take my old lady to visit Xuandu."

"Wait, the yamen can tell. In five days, the public carriage will be put into use. I asked clearly. The blue carriage will pass from Qixiamen Street in front of our Lifang to Jinguangmen Street. If you change to a red-plated carriage, you can go directly to the East Market or the West Market, which is very convenient for shopping."

In fact, compared to Datang's original load of [-] catties, [-] miles of travel, and the price of [-] yuan for ox carts, the fare of two yuan for public carriages is not cheap.But the ox cart starts at [-] cents, and no matter if it is less than [-] miles away, it will charge that much.In this way, two pennies can be used to ride a carriage, which is much cheaper.

The average monthly income of the people in Chang'an City is consistent, and the fare of two renminbi is actually not a low consumption, but the enthusiasm and expectation of the people for the public carriage has not diminished in the slightest.

Li Wangyou was busy making the households in Dingzhou Village familiar with the driving route, conducting training before "on-the-job", arranging for manpower to purchase harness horses, and adjusting public carriages... After a series of tasks, ten days passed in a flash. up.
