Chapter 429 Daqin Traffic Law
"This car is indeed much better than a carriage."
"It's fast, stable and comfortable. The only shortcoming is probably the black smoke!"
After walking all the way to the Palace Square and turning around a few more times, Ying Zhengcai jumped off the steam car contentedly, looked around the car for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.
"I can't help it. As long as it is a coal-fired boiler, there will inevitably be some black smoke."
Ying Yu smiled and shook his head.
With Daqin's current technology, it is impossible to fully burn the coal, and black smoke from the boiler is unavoidable.
Fortunately, there is a smoke pipe, which can be discharged directly backward after rising, without affecting the driver's sight, or choking the passengers in the car.
However, this also reminds Ying Yu that for the subsequent design of the vehicle, the smoke pipe can be directly led to the rear, or the engine can be simply installed at the rear.
Anyway, there are not so many rules and regulations in the design of steam cars these days, and they can be as comfortable as they want.
Moreover, the coal used in steam vehicles must be specially treated.
There are not many other things in Daqin, but coal resources are quite rich, and many of them are of high quality.
At this time, the civil and military officials who had been lagging behind also caught up one after another.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, I, Great Qin, have gained another artifact that benefits the country and the people!"
"His Royal Highness, when will this newly developed steam car be launched, and how much is it?"
"Look, it's so cold today, the old minister is so old, if he has a car like this, he won't be afraid of freezing in the court."
"Wang Ben, how old are you, do you have the nerve to call yourself old in front of a group of old bones like me?"
"I bought this for my father, can't I?"
"You all live in the city, what kind of car do you want? If you have a car, you should give me the one who lives far away first!"
Hundreds of officials spoke out one after another, causing a commotion.
Anyway, there are no outsiders here, everyone has known each other for many years, and there is nothing to pretend.
His Majesty seemed to be in a good mood at first glance, and it was impossible for him to ask a crime on the occasion of the New Year because of such a trivial matter.
The most important thing now is to quickly grab a spot and get a car like this for your family first.
When the time comes to drive out, it will definitely save face and be very cool.
I'm sure I'm envious of those hard-working people who are still riding in a carriage or riding a bicycle in the cold wind!
"Go away, don't scare our two little babies."
"This first car is a hand-made customized version, and it is a New Year gift from the prince to the emperor."
"The second batch of cars is under production, but you don't have any share. The Prince's Mansion is completed."
"The third batch of cars is estimated to be on sale in the middle of next month. It is estimated that there will be [-] or [-] cars. Then you will bid for them yourself."
Ying Yu glanced angrily at the courtiers who were getting more and more shameless and said.
It's not that Ying Yu doesn't want to produce more.
Rather, Daqin's current steam engine, that is, the boiler's production capacity is limited. Even the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are working on shifts, and they can only manufacture three sets a day.
And during the New Year, scientific researchers also need to go home to accompany their families. It is already quite good to be listed in mid-October (the first day of October in the Qin calendar).
But after the engine assembly line is completed, the production speed of the steam car will really increase.
And more versions will be launched at that time, such as steam trains, steam snowplows, steam buses, steam tractors and so on.
"Honor, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The courtiers were overjoyed.
For ten days, they could still afford to wait.
As for bidding, it is nothing new in Daqin, and all kinds of limited editions are won by the highest asking price.
Anyway, the income of each family is quite high this year, and there are generous bonuses and dividends at the end of the year, which is just a good time to show off their wealth.
Only Wang Ben's eyes lit up.
The second batch of the Prince's Mansion is for personal use, and it must be for the wives.
If this is the case, Wang Ying, who is the crown prince and concubine, will definitely get one.
Now Wang Ying spends most of her time with her baby and rarely goes out.
In this way, wouldn't he, his father, borrow it first?
When the time comes, I will definitely save face by going out to visit!
Thinking of this, Wang Ben immediately glanced at the rest of the people with a proud face.
This time, he was going to show off.
Meng Yi and the others couldn't help being taken aback, what kind of eyes did Wang Ben have?What are you fussing about over there?
But after all, they are all human beings, and everyone quickly reacted.
Immediately became more angry.
Your king blames a big bastard, isn't it just that he gave birth to a good girl, as for being so arrogant?
No, we have to find an opportunity to make peace with His Majesty.
The old Wang's family can't take all the cheapness.
Looking at the courtiers who looked like old urchins, Ying Yu spread his hands speechlessly.
This group of people is really becoming more and more dishonest.
It seems that I have to make arrangements to perfect the traffic laws of Daqin in advance.
Otherwise, these old guys, especially the military generals, will definitely do things like drunken racing.
At that time, if one is not careful, there will be a traffic accident.
Damaged property can still be compensated, but if it hurts innocent people, it is really too late to regret.
Ying Yu made up his mind instantly.
Such evil deeds that may occur in Daqin must be killed in the bud in advance.
In addition to drinking and driving, different regions, different speed limits, and new road planning should also be put on the agenda.
But what Ying Yu looked forward to the most were steam locomotives and railways.
That is the Big Mac that can really solve the traffic problems on the Great Qin land.
A steam car, at Daqin's current level, can only pull ten people or several tons of goods at most.
As for a steam train, one carriage can handle several times the number of personnel and supplies, and a steam locomotive can easily pull more than ten carriages.
Even with the existence of the Grand Canal, the capacity of the railway still has absolute significance.
In areas where the Grand Canal cannot be repaired, the railway is a symbol of Xianyang City's control over the area.
Not to mention much, if the railway can be built directly from Xianyang City to the prairie, the problem of immigration difficulties will be directly solved!
Therefore, the passing bonus of the Silk Road alone can make these areas develop stably.
As the economy improves, there will naturally be more people who are willing to invest and live.
Extending further to the west, the speed at which the Seleucid region will be integrated into the Great Qin will be directly ten times and a hundred times faster.
Because with the railway and train, it will take at most a week from Xianyang City to Seleucus.
The strategic value here cannot be measured by money.
The railway will be the real core of Daqin's future land strategy! .
