Chapter 419

After settling down with the Legalists, Merton turned his eyes to Li Xin,

"Young master!" Li Xin immediately sat in a precarious mood. Li Xin is in charge of the transportation department of Mojia village. From the original fish transportation team, Li Xin's transportation team is busy in the transportation and shipment of some materials in Mojia village.

"The transport team has done well this year, but it is still not enough." Merton's first sentence made Li Xin sink in his heart. "With the full supply of cars and horses, the scale of the transport team is now only limited to the two lines from Mojia village to Chang'an City and from Chang'an City to Luoyang, which are a little afraid of the head and the tail."

"What the young master taught me is!" Li Xin bowed his head and said.

"In fact, Li Xinwei is not afraid of the head and the tail, but the goods of Mojia village. After arriving in Luoyang City, most of them are mainly canals. The transportation team is arranging canals. Once it is successful, it will certainly be able to market the products of Mojia village to the north and south of the river." Xu Jie excused Li Xin.

When it comes to the layout of the Grand Canal, Li Xin suddenly showed a proud smile. The role of the Grand Canal is well known all over the world. There is a continuous flow of goods from north to south in one day. It can be said that it is extremely busy. Once the transportation team of Mojia village arranges the whole Grand Canal, the benefits are self-evident.

Many Mohist villagers immediately showed a satisfied smile. They couldn't help looking at Li Xin, especially Li Yi, and immediately looked at their son with a happy face.

However, Merton's face sank and commented, "putting the cart before the horse."

Suddenly, Li Xin's proud face was like pouring a basin of cold water, and suddenly collapsed.

Everyone also looked at Merton in surprise. Needless to say, the importance of the Grand Canal is well known all over the world. Li Xin is not wrong in doing so! Why don't you blame me instead of winning the prize.

Among the people, only Han zhengruo thought, but when he first arrived in Mojia village, he naturally wouldn't comment on some things.

Morton hated the iron and said, "the Mojia village started with a four-wheel carriage, and the carriage and horse are the advantages of the Mojia village. You don't use the advantages of the Mojia village, but go to layout the Grand Canal. It's not putting the cart before the horse. What is it? Are we familiar with ships and able to operate boats?"

Li Xin immediately lowered his head, and everyone was silent.

"Besides, Cao gangs are everywhere on both sides of the Grand Canal. They have been operating for more than ten years and are deeply rooted. If Mojia village rashly joins in, how can it benefit!" Merton shouted.

Li Xin suddenly realized it and said with a ashamed face, "young master, Li Xin knows his mistake."

Now he recalls that when he laid out the Grand Canal, he was faced with many difficulties and repeated difficulties, which was not the boycott of the Cao Gang on both sides of the Strait.

Merton waved his big hand and said, "immediately withdraw all the layout of the Grand Canal. If the products of Mojia village want to go through the Grand Canal in the future, they will be subcontracted to Cao Gang for transportation."

"Yes!"

Li Xin suddenly felt a pity. It was a pity that the Grand Canal connecting the north and South gave up in this way.

"There is no pity!" Murton snorted coldly. "The Grand Canal is indeed important, but it is not irreplaceable."

"Did the young master say it was a brick road?" Xu Jie suddenly said.

Merton nodded and said, "yes, although the waterway has a large carrying capacity, it's ok if it goes downstream. Once it goes upstream, it can only rely on the power of the trackers. After the brick road is built, the advantages of the four-wheel carriage are undoubtedly obvious, and the transportation will be mainly land in the future."

Everyone nodded deeply. Anyone can see that the pace of building brick roads in the Tang Dynasty can not stop at all. The news of the great court meeting at the end of the year has already spread to the government and the public. The concept of Longhai line has been hotly discussed by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"In the future, the transportation team of Mojia village will be further expanded, focusing on the brick road. Where will the brick road be built? Where will the team of Mojia village be extended! As for the carriage, the transportation team need not worry. The four wheeled carriage will give priority to the supply of the transportation team, and the horses will be transported continuously." Merton waved his big hand.

"Further expansion?" Li Xin was delighted and nodded heavily. If the team of Mojia village continues to expand with the brick road, over time, when all the ten brick roads of Datang are connected, what a behemoth the team of Mojia village will develop into.

"About the transport team, I have one request, that is, fast!" Merton said.

Li Xin suddenly stood up and said proudly, "young master, don't worry. The speed of the transportation team in Mojia village can be described as the place in the middle of the pass."

Merton shook his head and said, "this is far from enough. With the construction of brick road, the traffic from Chang'an city to Luoyang will surely usher in a big outbreak. Luoyang is just at the intersection of Longhai line and Grand Canal. Goods from East, West, North and South will gather here, which will surely usher in great opportunities."

As for the importance of Luoyang City, even Hua Yuan, who is the least concerned about current politics, nodded deeply. With the Longhai line, it is unknown that Luoyang City will surpass Chang'an City in the future.

Merton said proudly, "therefore, the next step of Mojia village is Luoyang City. The transportation team should first open a passenger train from Chang'an city to Luoyang."

"Morning and evening!"

The people were suddenly surprised that after the brick road from Chang'an city to Luoyang City was opened, the empty car test of the Ministry of industry was only coming and going, and Merton asked the transportation team to do so.

"Young master, horses must rest if they run at most 100 li. Otherwise, their horsepower will be lost. Chang'an city is 800 li away from Luoyang, unless there are post stations along the way like the imperial court." Li Xin said with a bitter smile.

Unexpectedly, Merton nodded and said, "yes, we just want to build a post station. No, it's a service station."

"Chang'an city is eight hundred miles away from Luoyang. Mojia village only needs to build a service station every hundred miles to store food, grass and horses. Every hundred miles when the carriage arrives at the service station, the horses change cars, unload the horses, put on new horses and start again. When the next transport team passes by, replace the horses that have rested and start again. In this way, it is not inevitable to start day and night Yes, even if it's a carriage full of goods. You can definitely reach Luoyang City in two days. "Merton said.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the speech. Merton's move is indeed operable. In this way, the horses can get a rest, save a lot of time, and improve the efficiency several times. The only disadvantage is that it costs too much money.

"Does the young master want to enter the passenger transport industry?" Li Xin asked carefully.

Mo Village shook his head and said, "no, since Mojia village produces four-wheel carriages, it's not suitable to intervene in the passenger transport market. It's just too slow from Chang'an city to Luoyang. Let Mojia village be a catfish again this time!

"Slow!"

Everyone suddenly twitched at the corners of their mouths, and they all understood the catfish effect! But when ramming earth, it took at least five days from Chang'an city to Luoyang. After the brick road was built, it has been raised to two days. This is fast in the eyes of everyone, but it is still too slow in Merton's eyes.

Merton, who has experienced the baptism of later generations of highways and high-speed railways, naturally does not like the slow carriage now. As a last resort, Merton had to copy it according to the ideas of later generations of service stations, but changed refueling into changing horses, which is barely making do.

Xu Jie agreed: "this can be done. Most rich families from Chang'an to Luoyang are willing to take it if they can save a day, even if they spend twice as much money."

He often goes back and forth between Chang'an City and Luoyang. Naturally, he knows that if the passenger carriage in Mojia village can travel day and night, it must be very popular.
