Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Adou, don’t need anyone to support me

Once rails and trains can be developed, the efficiency of the whole country will be greatly improved. And technology will also begin to develop rapidly with the advent of the industrial age.

And then there's the economy, which is the most important thing.

The more frequent the activities of ordinary people, the more profits and taxes are generated.

Then the country will also be particularly rich! Then the things that the Han eliminated were sold to other countries, thus producing a lot of gold and silver. Then, in the use of this gold and silver, continue to promote the development of science and technology, forming a virtuous circle.

So there are some things that must be done right now!

And the premise of all this is on Huang Yueying. But Liu Chan didn't put any special pressure on her, because this thing was beyond the scope of his study. In a short period of time, it will definitely not be able to be manufactured.

However, Liu Chan still made the railroad tracks first.

And he did this because he wanted to see if he would pull more boxes with horses or oxen than on ordinary roads.

The contact area of the rails is small, but it is very strong and sturdy, and it is very labor-saving to transport things on top of this kind of thing. On the Pu 917 road, the wheels are often affected by ground friction and the flatness of the ground. A horse can often pull something that weighs a ton.

But on the rails, it should increase several times!

If he could really do this, he could first arrange such rails in major cities, and then transport a large number of goods on such railways.

After three months, a 500-meter-long section of railroad track was laid. On top of the rails, there is a carriage, and the wheels of this carriage are made of steel structure, and the bottom plate of the carriage is also made of steel. Others, wood.

Then at the front of the carriage were two horses.

Before the experiment, Liu Chan had already calculated all the weight of the carriage. Then let the two horses do the dragging. Let's see if they can pull it.

The weight of the entire carriage reached 1.2 tons.

Two horses pulled it with ease.

Then, Liu Chan ordered people to put a hundred stones of grain into it.

It's very easy to drag them away.

So he continued to put a hundred stones. The weight of one stone is one hundred and twenty pounds. One hundred stones, which is 12,000 catties, is converted into tons, which weighs six tons. Now add the weight of the carriage, which is thirteen.2 tons!

Liu Chan asked Zhuge Liang on the side: "Kong Ming, do you say that these two horses can pull so much grain?" "

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The current weight, if it is calculated according to weekdays, it will require at least ten carriages, but now it is pulled by two horses, and it may not be able to pull it!" "

"Why don't we make a bet? I said he can pull, believe it or not? "

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan's sworn appearance, and immediately lost his confidence. He shook his head and said: "His Majesty the Crown Prince is well-informed, and Kong Ming is out of reach, this matter, Weichen doesn't dare to bet!" "

Liu Chan smiled and didn't say anything.

Then he ordered the horses to be driven forward, and at first the two horses had some difficulty walking. But once they walk normally, the back will be very relaxed.

Zhuge Liang on the side saw that he had done the matter of ten carriages with just two horses, and the whole person was not calm.

Because, he knows what that means?

If you string this carriage into a string and then continue to add horses, then it only takes a few people to transport goods in the future. There was no need for large-scale soldiers to escort food and grass at all.

It's also incredible.

He then bowed to Liu Chan and said, "Your Majesty is clever, and Weichen admires it!" "

"Actually, the horses were dragging the boxes on a temporary basis. My sister-in-law is researching something that can be pushed by boiling water, and if it can be successfully developed, then it may not be possible to deliver dozens of stones of grain every time. (If you read violent novels, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

"Tens of thousands of stones?"

Zhuge Liang simply estimated that tens of thousands of carriages would be needed for normal transportation.

This...... This is outrageous!

In fact, compared to rail transportation, the most economical is actually water transportation.

It's just that the Yellow River has many moats, and the river is turbulent, and the drop is also large. Only short distances can be transported.

The Yangtze River, on the other hand, has a smooth flow rate. However, at this time, the economy and politics of the Han Dynasty were basically concentrated in the northern region, so the use of the Yangtze River was actually very low.

Moreover, these places in the south are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is easy to break through the capital.

Therefore, throughout history, in the capital city of the south, it will not survive for a hundred years.

But in the north, it's completely different!

Although there are all kinds of wars, all kinds of disputes, etc., but for more than a hundred years, it is still a very easy thing.

Therefore, Liu Chan will send soldiers to control the environment in the Western Regions, the north and other places, and at the same time, there are various projects, which are basically beneficial to the north.

From outside Luoyang City, return to the court. Liu Chan looked at the ministers and said, "Everyone, you have been praising just now, saying that I, Liu Chan, are smart. But why don't you think about it, why do I think of these things, and why can't you think of these things when you have so much knowledge? "

This sentence made the ministers suddenly fall into embarrassment.

Including the clever Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan said lightly: "Among you, do you want to say that you have to deal with so many official affairs every day, and you are very busy, so you don't have time?" But I'm busier than you, all right. And you can't think of these things, I think it's because of our Han system, which is very backward. So, I've been thinking about this a lot these days. As a result, I figured it out. That's because your position determines your thinking. If you are like me, thinking about these things, then you may not be able to govern the country well. However, here in Luoyang, although our two eyes are staring at the world's major events, we ignore the things around us. So, I think, we have to set up a plan, so that everyone can think more about how to improve the economy of our Han and how to improve the quality of life of the people in their spare time. "

"Every winter in the north, you can only eat some radish and cabbage. But the South was unaffected. If it is a vegetable from the south, what if it can be cultivated in the north? Doesn't that solve the problem. So, my plan is to solve these things within five years. Then, the railroad track you just saw will run from Luoyang to Chang'an in the west and to Bingzhou and Youzhou in the north within five years. To the south, for Changsha, to the east for Huiji! Form a conveyor belt. Of course, there are some places that may not be possible because of geography. Then we'll get it through...".
