train, Xia Hongsheng did not sit in his later life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Four years of college back and forth here and there, this thing doesn't sit too much.

But the steam train, this is really the first time.

Smelling the coal gas in the car, Xia Hongsheng said: "This ventilation must be done well, otherwise the people inside will be poisoned by coal." ”

"Won't you just open the windows?" Li Chengqian opened the window and said, "I've been to this hunting ground many times, and it's the first time I've seen it like this. This thing is so stable, much more stable than a carriage! ”

"It's just not too fast." Li Ke said again: "If there is a batch of good BMWs, they will run faster than this." If it's full, it's even slower, and if you pick someone with better foot strength, I'm afraid you'll be able to catch up. ”

"You can't say that." Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that this thing has been made, it can be continuously improved in the future, and these problems will no longer be a problem after all. Besides, this thing can pull 100,000 catties of things to run, can you pick a good foot strength to pull 500 catties of things for me? ”

"At this speed, it is estimated that it will take five or six hours to run from Chang'an to Luoyang." Li Tai said: "When the car is empty, it is still good. ”

"But this thing is not for running empty, but for pulling people." Li Chengqian shook his head: "If it is full of people, or full of goods, the speed will be very slow, just now Qingque said that when it is fully loaded, it can run twenty kilometers in an hour, then it is estimated that it will take more than ten hours to run from Chang'an to Luoyang!" ”

"That's going to be soon!" Xia Hongsheng said: "100,000 catties of things, if they are transported according to the usual method, can they be transported from Chang'an to Luoyang in ten hours?" If you calculate again, 100,000 catties, how many people are equivalent to? How many sky-shaking thunderbolts are there? How many mortars are equated? How many artillery pieces is the equivalent of? Do the math! This is just an experiment, and when it is really put into use, it can make more power, and it will be far more than 100,000 catties. ”

Li Chengqian gasped: "Hiss...... Good boy! I can't count it, but if you calculate it like this, it's really ...... I think I should let my father come and sit in person. ”

"Not only do you have to come and take a ride in person, but you also have to see with your own eyes that this train is pulling 100,000 catties of things!" Li Ke said: "When the time comes, when we talk about building the railway, my father will agree!" It is very troublesome to build a railway, manpower, material and financial resources, as well as the care and disposal of everywhere along the way, it is not easy to have a handle, and not to teach the people to complain. Brother Sheng, at the risk of being impeached, I have to help you! ”

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to stare at Li Ke, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Be polite, I can still build a railway." ”

"Brother Sheng'er is not busy!" Li Ke said with a smile: "The reform of the academy must be thought of everywhere. Students should share the burden for the teacher. ”

Xia Hongsheng thought about it, after the reform of the academy, it would definitely be an eventful time for him. If Li Ke can go to greet the railway, then he can be completely relieved.

After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng said angrily to Li Ke: "I shouldn't have taken you to do business in the wine shop in the first place, but now I spend all my thoughts on this, and I will pay you money!" ”

"Hehe, it's the master!" Li Ke smiled with a smile.

The two people next to him didn't understand it, and looked at the two of them blankly: "Eh, what are you talking about?" ”

Li Ke smiled and said, "This train can be pulled so well, but the imperial court doesn't have so many things for it to pull all the time!" If you can convince your father that this thing can be used for civilian use when it is not used in the imperial court, wouldn't it be ...... Hehe, it costs so much to build this railway, it can't be used in vain?! ”

"What does the third brother mean...... Toll? Li Chengqian's mind is very bright, but his mind is no longer commercial, so he does not think as far as Li Ke in this regard. But as soon as I heard Li Ke's reminder, I immediately figured it out.

"Nature." Li Ke clapped his hands: "On pulling people, how much is a person, how much is a pound for pulling things, how much is a catty." ”

"It also depends on the distance, the distance is close, and it is naturally cheap. Far away, of course, it is more expensive. Xia Hongsheng added: "When the railway is repaired more and more, this income is quite considerable!" The big head must be in the imperial court, but if we can get a little soup, it will be a lot of money! Moreover, the railroad has just begun, and when the imperial court has not paid too much attention to it, it can let us be next to each other. In the future, the imperial court saw the importance of the railway, from road construction to operation management, it must all be collected by the imperial court, and we can't get into it. ”

"It's still a public-private partnership." Li Ke's eyes were bright: "Private road construction, court supervision, operation and management are also all from the court and the road builder, with the court as the mainstay." After Xu Xiulu operated for many years, it was completely taken over by the imperial court. ”

"Then you are not afraid that in order to make as much money as possible in this time limit, the price of the railway will be raised too high, and everyone will not want to use it!" When Li Tai heard this, he became anxious: "Wouldn't that be for nothing!" ”

"Railways, definitely, and only, are state-owned. Public-private partnerships are not possible. Xia Hongsheng said: "The privatization of railways will bring many drawbacks. If you want a piece of the pie, you must not participate in operation and management. When I say a little soup, I don't mean to participate in the operation and management, to be the party that collects the cost of using the railway, but to be the contractor. ”

Li Ke was stunned: "Why?" ”

"In order to maximize profits, private individuals tend to cut corners in some aspects of construction and management to reduce operating and management costs. This inevitably leads to security vulnerabilities and degrades the quality of service. Take advantage of oligopoly to grab monopoly profits. In the case of privatization, the railways would inevitably be monopolized by a few oligopolies. As private enterprises that pursue the maximization of profits, they will inevitably use their monopoly position to raise railway fares, or use this to blackmail additional subsidies from the imperial court. In addition, if the privatized railway is not operated well and leads to bankruptcy, is it not a mess handed over to the imperial court in the end? Xia Hongsheng said: "Haven't all these truths been taught in the economics class of the academy? It seems that these industries belong to the lifeblood of the state, and must be strictly controlled by the state, and cannot be controlled by one or a few private chaebols. ”

"The student almost missed a fork!" Li Ke was taken aback: "Thanks to the reminder from the master!" ”

As he spoke, the train had slowed down and slowly stopped, steadily.

"Qingque, this steam train is finished." Xia Hongsheng got off the train, looked back at the smoking steam locomotive, and said, "The improvement in the future will be handed over to others to do." As for you, the teacher will give you another research task. How is it? ”

"Please also ask the master to command!" Li Tai is a scientific research maniac, and he is immediately very happy when he has a new research task.

"Think about how you can use this steam engine on an ironclad ship." Xia Hongsheng said: "You go with me first, and then go to my house, and I will find some drawings for you to see if it can be realized." ”

"Okay!" Li Tai suddenly became excited.
