Chapter 369
"Public transport system?"
Ying Zheng asked curiously.
According to his experience, as long as it is a new term proposed by Fusu, it is generally a new thing that is of great benefit to the country and the people.
And this public transportation system sounds very lofty.
"The so-called public transportation system, to put it bluntly, is the manned version of Daqin's freight logistics today. "
"Nowadays, due to the vigorous commercial development of Daqin, the logistics system is becoming more and more perfect, and all kinds of freight carriages, canal shipping, and large shipping ships are developing very rapidly. "
"Between some of the larger cities, there were also ships or carriages that were specially manned, and set sail at regular intervals or when they were full. "
"On the contrary, the transportation from the county to the suburbs, or simply within the county, has not formed an effective system. "
"The reason is that although the number of horses in Daqin has increased a lot, due to the strong demand for freight, civilian horses are still in short supply, and the profits of short-distance transportation are also very low, and merchants are reluctant to operate. "
"People want to reach dozens of miles away, so they can only walk, or go to crowd the freight wagons, which is very inconvenient. "
"And the emergence of bicycles and tricycles, can greatly solve the traffic problem within 100 miles, only need to divide an urban area and surrounding towns into points, point-to-point 277 between the regular departure. "
"The speed of this bicycle is not much inferior to that of a war horse, and it is very dexterous, and it can walk on large roads and small roads, so you don't have to worry about traffic jams. "
"A three-wheeled bicycle, enough to carry a few passengers or hundreds of pounds of cargo, not only has low operating costs, but is also more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage. "
"Moreover, this passenger and cargo tricycle can also form a new industry, so that more people in Daqin can find a living errand. "
Fusu explained with a smile.
"That's great!"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "What is the price of this bicycle?"
"At the moment, a two-wheeled bicycle costs about fifty dollars, and a three-wheeled bicycle costs about a hundred dollars. "
"After large-scale production, the price can be reduced by 40%!"
"After the reduction, the price will not exceed the monthly income of ordinary people, and it can already be consumed. "
"Moreover, Erchen is ready to consider implementing a one-year free loan for the people of Daqin, and each family can have a quota for buying bicycles in interest-free installments, and if it is divided into 12 months, there will be no pressure. "
Fusu said with a smile: "The cost of a few dollars a month, even if you go out a few times to pick up passengers or pull goods, you can earn it back." "
"And if bicycles become more common, there is a good thing, that is, the number of horse-drawn carriages in the city will decrease. "
"The size of bicycles is much smaller than that of horse-drawn carriages, which can greatly reduce the congestion in large cities such as Xianyang, and free up more horses to be invested in freight logistics. "
"Fusu, you are thinking more and more about the problem!"
"This move can not only facilitate the travel of the people of Daqin, but also add a means of increasing income for the people, which can be said to be a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for all the people of Daqin!"
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Is it whether this production capacity can keep up, and if the installment payment is made, can the financial pressure be sustained?"
"It's not difficult to build a bicycle, it's more troublesome, it's mainly springs, chains and bearings, and the rest is something that ordinary blacksmiths can get started with very quickly. "
"With the bicycle assembly line currently designed by the Engineering Institute, one assembly line can produce 100 two-wheeled bicycles or 73-wheeled bicycles a day, and in the first phase, it is ready to put into ten production lines. "
"The second phase of 100 production lines is ready to be carried out in Liaodong, which will once again drive the industrial development of Liaodong County. "
"As for myself, I only need to do a good job of advertising, and I have to invest because of businessmen and elites. "
After looking at Jiang Lu and the others who were looking forward to it, Fusu smiled and said, "Don't worry, after the production line is built, the imperial brother will give you one for each person!"
The smile on Ying Zheng's face became even stronger.
(BAEA) The country is rich and the people are strong, and the family is also happy, which is definitely the best gift for Yingzheng!
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people of Xianyang City discovered new things. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Because the Praetorian Guards, who were responsible for inspecting Xianyang City and maintaining law and order, suddenly changed into new equipment.
They all rode a strange two-wheeled bicycle through the streets and alleys, not only dexterous, but also very fast.
The people were immediately stunned.
"What is this?"
"I just went up and asked, and I said it was called a bicycle, a new invention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "[]
"It's weird, you don't need livestock to pull, you can run on two wheels by yourself, and the speed is very fast!"
"And it's so flexible, you see that the front is jammed just now, and the carriage can't pass at all, but this bicycle is not affected at all!"
"Where can I buy this thing, I'll get one too!"
"Yes, this car is much more convenient than a horse-drawn carriage!"
"Look, the newspaper said that this bicycle not only has two wheels, but also three wheels, which can not only pull goods, but also carry people!"
"Next month, Xianyang City will set up the first passenger transport company in Daqin, and at that time, hundreds of points will be set up in Xianyang City and surrounding towns, and you only need a maximum of one money, and you can take this car to visit Xianyang City!"
"And next month there will also be a bicycle sale, a maximum of 100 yuan, and you can also pay for it in 12 months!"
"What, so cheap?"
"That's great!"
At this moment, not only the people, but also many officials were moved.
Xianyang City and Xianyang New Town, although the planning is very forward, but the development of Daqin is still too fast, so when the city gate is opened every morning and evening, it will still be congested.
Many officials, from Xianyang New Town to the Imperial Palace, will face a very embarrassing problem.
That's how you can avoid traffic jams and arrive in time.
This is not a joke when it is late to the court meeting.
However, the traffic jam is simply unpredictable.
Many officials had no choice but to leave as early as possible.
Fortunately, Fusu proposed to delay the time of going to court, otherwise the courtiers of Great Qin would really be earlier than the chicken.
And if there is this new type of bicycle that is not afraid of traffic jams, wouldn't they not need to worry about traffic jams?
Being able to sleep a little more every day is definitely good news for courtiers who are generally not young.
The bicycle that had just come out soon became popular throughout Xianyang City, and spread to the surrounding cities.
