It has to be said that today's transportation has been very convenient.

Of course, this convenience is only relative to some of the capitals.

For example, Heyang City, which was not originally a large capital, is such a capital city that is more than enough than the top, and the population, scale, and even the prosperity of the city are all considered to be first-class capitals, and they will be taken care of by the first phase of the railway project, and they will be given priority to build railways and stations.

You must know that almost all of the capitals selected for the first phase of the project are first-class capitals, and the scale, population, and trade are among the top capitals, and even Heyang City is not on the main line of the project, but hundreds of miles away from the main line, but it is just like this, and it has become the only place that the first phase of the project is taken care of.

However, there seems to be no station nearby, which makes Bai Chen very embarrassed, and the nearest station is also a thousand miles away.

Sure enough, in response to that sentence, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, which is the aftermath of being anxious.

Even, when Bai Chen changed his body, he was still in the body, also to hide people's eyes.

"I should have let them give me a ride. Bai Chen was very depressed.

Fortunately, I have now recovered my body of normal age, and I no longer have the same strange eyes everywhere I went as I did when I was a child.

Even if he was reluctant, Bai Chen had to find a nearby capital first, and then go to the post station to rent a car and go on the road immediately.

After all, the Han and Tang dynasties are still the Han and Tang dynasties, and they have not reached that kind of high-tech era.

Bai Chen thought in his heart, whether to let the motor vehicle and the plane come out.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Bai Chen still felt that the motor vehicle could be launched first. However, it will take a year or two to prepare. After all, the mountain bandits and road rage everywhere have not been cleaned up yet. At the same time, even the city can't be flat, let alone in the wild.

So for at least a year, the imperial court must clean up the mountain bandits and road bandits in the entire Han and Tang Dynasties, and then build cement roads.

Compared with the railway, the investment in cement roads is also larger, so Hantang still needs at least one year of capital accumulation, and even needs private fundraising.

However, the cement road is covered on a large scale. It can also greatly stimulate domestic demand, and then the advent of motor vehicles can greatly stimulate domestic demand.

On the earth, the age of steam is an epoch-making milestone, and it is the invention of the steam engine that allows human beings to run farther and faster, which greatly promotes the development of human civilization.

And in the Han and Tang Dynasties, it also has a unique advantage, Bai Chen doesn't even need to develop the steam engine, the mechanism array and the martial array here. It also has a very big advantage.

Whether it's the digestion of energy, or in terms of endurance. Both the martial array and the trap array have unparalleled advantages.

And it is still pollution-free, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, the current inner dan of mammals is too expensive and not suitable for large-scale popularization.

However, this idea, Bai Chen has changed, because he has found a replacement for Nedan, Elliptical Bead.

Bai Chen thought all the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived in Lucheng.

Bai Chen was about to look for a post station, when he saw a few familiar figures in front of him.

Isn't it Xiao Feng'er, Zhou Masan, and the head of the Longlan Dart Bureau?

It's just that, looking at the figures of the three people, it seems that they are a little lost.

"Master, let's go. He sighed: "It's good to be able to get a job now." ”

"Alas...... Let's go. Xiao Feng'er was also helpless.

They ran all the way from Xiangzhou City to Lucheng, originally at the invitation of a merchant to help escort a batch of goods, but when they ran to Lucheng, they heard from the merchant that the goods had already been sent to the White Elephant City, which was thousands of miles away, and then sent to the capital by dragon car from the station of the White Elephant City.

It took him and others ten days to get from Xiangzhou City to Lucheng, but it only took five days for them to go back and forth, of which three and a half days were still delayed on the road, if you just calculate the time spent in White Elephant City and the capital, it is less than two days.

As a result, the business was not received, but was counted down by the merchant, saying that if all the darts were so slow, they would not expect to eat.

If it weren't for Zhou Masan and Cao to stop him, Xiao Feng'er almost burned the merchant's Zhuangzi.

Xiao Fenger didn't have such impulsiveness in the past, she has always been well-known in the industry for her steady heart.

Now she almost ran away because of the number drop of a merchant, which is like two people from before.

Of course, the reason for this is also related to the business of Longlan Dart Bureau in the past six months.

Especially in the past two or three months, since the opening of the dragon car, the business of the dart board has become more and more difficult to do.

Not only Longlan dart game, but almost all dart games have encountered the same problem.

More and more merchants are choosing rail transportation, which is convenient, fast, and almost absolutely safe.

Because of railway transportation, after choosing some special security funds, if the goods are damaged on the way, there is also a large amount of compensation.

Therefore, more and more merchants choose to send their goods to the nearby site capital first, and then send them from the station to other places.

But this is also something that can't be helped, even the top dart game, in terms of safety and efficiency, can not be compared with the dragon car.

If a batch of millions of taels of goods, according to the original mode of transportation, at least need to find a large dart board, more than 300 people, the consumption on the way, as well as the safety of the goods themselves, there is a great risk.

A journey of 3,000 miles, aside from the speed difference of dozens of times, the silver paid alone will cost at least 30,000 taels.

However, if it is a straight line transportation of dragon cars, the goods of one million taels are not even considered bulk transportation, and thousands of taels of silver can be safely delivered to the destination, and the time is definitely not more than a day.

The railway lines that have been opened now are still relatively limited, so the dart bureau still has some soup and water in front of them, but everyone knows that now the imperial court has carried out several large-scale railway laying projects at the same time, and it will not be long before the entire Han and Tang dynasties will be thoroughly penetrated.

At that time, the dart game will completely lose its living space.

Think of the future of darts. Xiao Feng'er's mood can be imagined, how bad it will be.

Suddenly. Xiao Feng'er, who has always had a black face. There was a chill on his face, and he whispered to Zhou Ma San and Yu beside him: "Someone is following us." ”

A trace of vigilance flashed in the eyes of Yu Bucheng and Zhou Masan, they were very old, and they did not look back to observe, but went shopping as usual.

Before they knew it, the three of them had walked to a relatively remote street.

Suddenly, Xiao Feng'er suddenly pulled out the sword blade in her hand and jumped backwards like a wild goose. The blade has stabbed at the stalker.

"Heroine spare her life!" Naturally following the three of them was Bai Chen, who immediately raised his hands and shouted loudly.

Xiao Feng'er's sword blade was on Bai Chen's neck, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face, because she always felt that the person in front of her was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"Who are you!?What is the purpose of following us, if there is the slightest lie, do not blame this girl for being ruthless under the sword. ”

Zhou Masan and Cao Bucheng also walked up. When they saw Bai Chen, their faces also showed a strange look.

"Have we met somewhere?"

"yes, yes...... Under the surname Bai Mingchen. Heyang people, I've been to Xiangzhou City before, or did you send me back to Heyang City by your dart bureau, have you forgotten?"

"Are you our old customer?" Xiao Feng'er looked at Bai Chen suspiciously.

Originally, she thought that she was her own illusion, but even Zhou Masan and Cao Buying felt the same way as her, which means that they must have met before.

As soon as Bai Chen's words came out, everyone was relieved, they did take Heyang's order, and there was more than one order.

"What is your purpose in following us?" Xiao Feng'er still didn't remove the sword blade from Bai Chen's neck, still looking at Bai Chen vigilantly.

Bai Chen's palm gently pushed away the sword blade, and grinned: "Don't I want to go back to Heyang, I just don't dare to go on the road alone, I want to come up and say hello when I meet a few, and by the way, I will hire you to send me back to Heyang, your Longlan dart game has a good reputation, the price is fair, and you are familiar with each other, so naturally I won't look for the local dart game, but look for you." ”

The three of them looked at each other, a little surprised, and a little suspicious.

They were worried about this trip, they spent so much money on the way, but they came in vain, and they thought about how to fill this hole, but they never thought that there would be business coming to their door.

Although this escort does not earn as much as escort goods, it is better than nothing.

"Why didn't you say it earlier, we thought you were a bad guy. Xiao Feng'er had already withdrawn the sword, but in order to avoid embarrassment, the wicked person sued first and beat him up.

Bai Chen's suspicions have basically been eliminated, and besides, they have nothing to plot, so there is no need for others to deliberately calculate them.

"When I saw you, I originally wanted to catch up and greet you, but who knew that you would go faster and faster," Bai Chen said with an innocent face......

Xiao Feng'er pursed her lips, and now that she thinks about it, it seems to be the same.

"The way to Heyang City is not close, how ......much is this price?"

"It's not too far, it's only two or three days to get to the White Elephant City here, and then take the dragon car from the White Elephant City......"

Xiao Feng'er grunted for a while, and said mysteriously: "Recently, there has been a lot of water in White Elephant City, and the station in White Elephant City has been closed, besides, the dragon car is actually very unsafe, I have heard that many people died in the dragon car, I advise you not to take the dragon car in the future, there are our dart people escorting you on this way, to ensure that you are delivered home safe and sound." ”

Bai Chen rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Feng'er in embarrassment: "But...... From here to Heyang City, it will take twenty days to travel to the least......"

"What's wrong with 20 days? Isn't it good to change peace in 20 days? Besides, it's also a chariot and horse send-off on the way, and it's not for you to hike over the mountains and mountains. ”

Bai Chen's cheeks twitched, it seemed that this Xiao Feng'er was really poor and crazy, and she really slaughtered herself as a fat sheep.

It's just that, looking at Zhou Masan and Yu living up to those eyes, Bai Chen really couldn't refuse.

"What ...... the price?"

"The price is easy to say, two hundred taels of silver, by the way, I will take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers. Xiao Feng'er said, and did not forget to perform a woman's unique moves, and threw an eyebrow to Bai Chen.

It seems that Xiao Feng'er is still quite confident in her charm, Bai Chen smiled bitterly, and finally could only nod. (To be continued......)
