Chapter 74 The Railway Map of Tang Country, This is the Foundation of the Super Empire!
"No, no, it's not just for military use. It has unimaginable benefits for promoting the domestic economy, transportation, and the circulation of goods." The third prince, Zhao Feng, could see at a glance that the appearance of the carriage would affect the entire country's economy. What a benefit.
For example, transporting food.
After all, the country's land area is too large. Famines occur in some places, while grain harvests occur in other places. At this time, the grain from this place can be transported to another place.
If there is no carriage, it may take at least several months to arrive. There is no way to know how much food will be lost on the way, and the price will increase many times.
But if there is a horse-drawn carriage, all the supplies can be transported to all parts of the country in a day or two.
It can be said that whether it is commodity trade, goods circulation, or disaster relief, the appearance of horse-drawn carriages has completely changed the way the entire country travels, and it is of great benefit to the entire country. "Grandpa, do you know how many similar railway Tang countries are there?" Third Prince Zhao Feng asked curiously.
"There is a domestic railway map on the bulletin board in front. You can check it out yourself, because it doesn't take long to build railways, only ten years. So far, only large cities can communicate with each other. It is said that the Lord has already ordered In the next 20 years, we will realize city-to-city connectivity, that is, every city will have to connect with each other by railway."
The old man stroked his gray beard very proudly.
What? !
Everyone stepped forward, and immediately saw a huge railway map presented in front of them, and saw the huge territory of the entire Tang Kingdom come into view, and one city after another appeared on it, densely packed.
At the same time, one railway after another criss-crossed and ran through major cities.
Seeing such a scene, they couldn't help but suffocate. "It's too tight, it's really too tight."
One of his subordinates was shocked: "These railways are criss-crossed and densely packed, and they have already spread all over the entire territory of Tang Kingdom. It only takes a day or two to reach another city from any part of Tang Kingdom." "It's too exaggerated. These railways are simply It's like dog chains completely locking every city, making these cities lose the possibility of rebellion."
"Isn't it? The Lord of the Tang Kingdom has firmly grasped all the cities in the entire country. Whoever dares to betray, immediately set off from the railway, arrive within two days, and put down the rebellion in an instant." "Where the railway can reach, That is the territory of the Tang Kingdom."
Many of the subordinates are not idiots, they are all people who have been carefully selected to inquire about information, so naturally they can see the importance of these railways at a glance.
This is simply the foundation of an empire. With these railways, a country's war potential is rising exponentially.
And at this moment, they seemed to see a huge war machine-like empire.
Just a railway map made them shudder, and immediately raised Tang's evaluation by several levels. "Your Highness, this Tang Kingdom is not simple. It has the power to threaten my kingdom of treasures. It should not be underestimated."
One of his subordinates transmitted a voice secretly, with a very serious expression on his face.
At this time, the ease at the beginning has long since disappeared, replaced by incomparable prudence.
"Of course I know this kind of thing. It is indeed correct to come to the Tang country to inquire about information. It is not as simple as imagined that this country can destroy the country of Thunder."
The third prince Zhao Feng nodded.
"However, Your Highness, in fact, we can emulate the carriages of the Tang Kingdom, and we can also build the same railway in the Kingdom of Treasures, so that every city in the entire country can be connected to each other."
A hand lowered his voice.
To be honest, he has long been fed up with the long journey in the kingdom of treasures, from one place to another, the shortest time is a few days, the longest is several months or even years.
For example, when they came to the country of Tang from the capital of the country of treasures, they traveled long distances for several months and spent a lot of hard work, not to mention how hard it was.
If the country of treasures also has a railway, then the transportation environment of the whole country will be much better, and they can travel around in various cities of the country.
"How can it be so simple."
Third Prince Zhao Feng shook his head: "For example, the focus of these carriages is not the carriages, but the fiery horses at the front. It is precisely because of this special magical creature that this carriage can reach a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
The problem is that we don't know how to breed this kind of fire horse, nor how to breed it. We once got some fire horses, but we raised them to death soon. "
He was very helpless, because raising magical animals was not as simple as he imagined.
Every magical animal has its own hobbies and habits, as well as its favorite food. If it is not raised correctly, it will be raised to death.
Moreover, not every kind of magical animal can be raised by humans. Some magical animals are not born to obey human orders. Once they are ordered, the magical animals will go crazy and cause serious losses to humans.
Only the book of wisdom, which has recorded a lot of knowledge about magical animals, knows how to raise fire horses, and even breed fire horses.
It's like ancient glass.
Regardless of the fact that glass is an industrial product now, a bunch can be made casually, but in ancient times, glass was an item comparable to gems.
Before the manufacturing process of glass is exposed, glass is a luxury and can be sold at sky-high prices.
And this secret has been kept for hundreds of years without leaking.
The same is true now.
The way they want the Kingdom of Treasures to raise fire horses is probably not as simple as they imagined. This must be top secret news from the Tang Kingdom, and outsiders are not allowed to spy on it.
""What's wrong? Why don't you buy a ticket? Is it because you think the speed of the carriage (Zhao Nuo's) is too slow and you don't want to take it? "
At this time, the old man next to him looked at the third prince Zhao Feng and others curiously.
too slow? donkey!
Hearing this, the third prince, Zhao Feng, and others were speechless. What kind of brain circuit is this old man? He can cross 20,000 kilometers in just one and a half days. Who would dislike the slow speed?
"Of course, if you think the speed is too slow, you can actually take the sky bird. The speed is faster than the carriage, but the price is a bit more expensive, at least ten times more expensive."
The old man held out a finger.
"Bird in the sky? Could it be that besides the carriage, there are other means of transportation in the Tang Kingdom? And it's faster?" The third prince, Zhao Feng, was stunned.
He used to have a horse-drawn carriage as a means of transportation in the Tang Kingdom, but now he heard that there was a faster means of transportation.
This made everyone dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. .
