Xu Yue called two of A Niang's female guards, told them to take good care of the twins, closed the door, and followed An Mi out of the city.
The bustling streets in the past were much quieter, An Mi said, and everyone went to the city gate to see the strange things.
It seems that everyone is very interested in this newly built bus.
The people of Shanggu County only came into contact with the concept of publicity after the arrival of Xu Jiajun.
At first, Xu Jiajun built public toilets and public bathhouses in the city, and then the public names in the vegetable market, and finally the current buses and carriages.
Whenever someone wears a public character, the common people can probably know that this may be another new item that common people can share.
Thanks to the geographical location, the terrain in the north is flat, mostly flat land, so with the blessing of cement, the bus and carriage Xu Yue wanted could be realized.
This matter, if placed in a place full of mountains and hills, would not be possible so smoothly.
The public transportation established this time is not only for the convenience of ordinary people, it also has extremely important military and political functions.
First, bus stations will be built along the way, combined with the original inn stations, to facilitate the transmission and gathering of information from various places in Xujiajun. It is also a transportation line.
Secondly, this is also a channel for the people below to convey their demands and demands upwards.
Although currently it can only go from county to town, with only a few village stations along the way, these stations also play a role in monitoring the grassroots level.
If people encounter injustice or discover the emergence of a family member, they can immediately go to the nearest site to respond.
Going from village to village or from village to town is countless times more convenient and faster than going from village to county before.
In this way, it ensures the continuation of Xu Jiajun's unique political system and greatly reduces the risk of being backstabbed by people on his own territory.
The Xu Jiajun now controls the entire Youzhou. When they entered Youzhou to join their aunt, the Xu Yue family made a detailed analysis of this place on the way there.
In the view of Xu Yue's family, as long as they make good use of Youzhou's natural conditions, they will have the possibility to compete in the Central Plains.
There is the great plain of Liaodong, as well as a large natural bay, fishery, animal husbandry, and farming, all at the same time.
And Youzhou at this time was not as cold as it would be in later generations.
Then there is Xianbei and Wuhuan's stable rear area. It only takes a few years of good development for the Xu Jiajun's strength to reach a higher level.
What's more, Xu Yue still has the technology tree in hand. As long as Zhuo County is completely opened up and the first round of census is completed, she will have technological resources that will make the outside world tremble.
Now, the emergence of buses and carriages will further expand the feasibility of their journey south.
Suppressing her excitement, Xu Yue, led by An Mi, came to the outside of the city gate.
A small bungalow is connected to a straw shed made of woven straw mats.
Inside the thatched shed, there were five large carriages pulled by three horses.
The carriage is a four-wheel carriage, 3.2 meters long and 1.78 meters wide. The left, right and front three sides are surrounded by 1.2 meter high fences. The place where you get on the back is a bamboo fence that can be opened and closed.
There are long benches on three sides of the car, which can seat fifteen or six people at the same time.
Of course, if you include passengers who are willing to squat or stand, there could be twenty or thirty people.
Above the three front and left hoardings, there are arched round bamboo strips. This frame is covered with a dark green raincoat. Wind and rain will not affect the carriage's progress.
The raincloth and the rubber tires on the bottom of the car were obtained by Xu Yue from the technology tree.
The bearings between the tires are sent from Yuyang Iron Smelting Factory.
The parts used above should be the best that Daqing can currently achieve.
For Xu Yue, a layman, she could not see any difference between these parts and those of later generations.
If there is, it should be that the production process here is more difficult than in later generations.
But luckily, they still made it.
Here is the starting station of Juyong County - Juyong Station!
"The leader is here! Give way!"
An Mi shouted excitedly, and the people who were gathered in front of the station to watch the bus turned and looked behind them.
Only then did Xu Yue realize that her father, mother, and sisters had already come over.
Xu Dalang went to the military camp early in the morning. The military camp had military regulations and it was inconvenient to enter and exit. Xu Dalang did not come.
"Dad, aunt, sister." Xu Yue smiled and nodded to her family members.
The three of them smiled slightly, moved aside, and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Yue walked to the station, and a piece of red silk formed a big red flower to protect the outside of the station.
On top of the red flower, there is a gong tied.
This is what the gong in An Mi's mouth is talking about.
"Chief, stick." An Mi sent a tray with a stick wrapped in red cloth.
Speaking of which, beating a red cloth bag in the past can also be called extravagant.
But now, these brightly colored cloths are no longer rare in Xu Jiajun's territory.
What really matters to everyone is the five large public carriages in the hay shed.
An Mi can guarantee that even the emperor's ceremonial carriage is not this big!
I don’t know what the expressions of the two emperors from the north and the south would be if they knew that the Xu family’s army used carriages that surpassed the emperor’s level to pull “slaves and untouchables” whose legs were covered in mud.
Will he be so angry that he vomits blood?
Xu Yue, who vomited blood but didn't vomit blood, didn't care. She just wanted to get on this big carriage and experience the convenience of public transportation again.
Picking up the mallet wrapped in red cloth from the tray, Xu Yue pressed hard, and a sharp sound of "Boom!" spread throughout the square in an instant.
The people were agitated and watched eagerly as Xu Yue tore open the big red flower and strode towards the bus and carriage.
The vehicle is equipped with a professional driver, and three drivers are responsible for one carriage, taking turns to work.
At the same time, each carriage will also be assigned a conductor to sell tickets and settle the tickets on the spot.
Buses and carriages will only stop at stops. If someone wants to get off the bus along the way, the driver can handle it at his discretion, but the time of other passengers cannot be affected.
There are many rules on buses and carriages, and the staff have written them into rules and posted them on the carriages, along with pinyin to ensure that most people can understand them.
Seeing the leader's family approaching, the driver, who had been impatient for a long time, suppressed his excitement and said:
"Chief, General Wang, Fellow Daoist Xu, Goddess, do you want to get in the car and give it a try?"
"Lao Wu, is that you?" Wang Pingping recognized the driver and was a little surprised.
The coachman Lao Wu was even more surprised than Wang Pingping. His eyes suddenly widened, looking like he couldn't believe it.
He didn't expect that he was just an inconspicuous retired cook in the army, and the general could call him by his name!
"General, general, do you still remember me?" Lao Wu was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
When Wang Pingping nodded and told him which team he had been in charge of logistics, as well as the names and experiences of his climbers and former partners, Lao Wu's eyes turned red.
