After the empty carriage is shipped, according to the number on the carriage, when it reaches the destination, the inn will put away the carriage and war horses, waiting for the next use.
In fact, generally, a large number of baggage trucks are needed at the terminal station and the starting station. After all, there are desolate places in between, so there is no need for storage at all, unless the terminal station is full.
However, this situation is rare. Generally, when the supplies at the terminal reach a certain level, they will be shipped to various counties.
Now for the officials here, water transportation is naturally cost-effective. They used to think that water transportation required a lot of manpower, but with the crane shipped from Yuntong County, only a few people can transport a large amount of materials to the ship.
Ordinary people think about saving energy and money, so they are ordinary people. Yang Gan thinks about saving the prime men, who are soldiers, who are necessary for giving birth to children, and who are also good at farming.
To put it bluntly, the use of a crane is almost like a fool's machine. It is best to use some disabled soldiers or older people. Most of these people have lost their labor force. They who were the breadwinners of the family immediately become It has become a burden on the family, which can also provide them with a stable income.
Precisely because there are pensions after death and jobs can be arranged for those who are disabled, the fighting power of the Xuanjia Army can be so fierce. Many people know that after they have no worries, they will kill the enemy indiscriminately when they see them. After killing indiscriminately, they will accept the tools. moment.
If you are unlucky, you will have a king who knows the truth. If you are lucky, you will be promoted to a noble rank. Why not? After all, no one is a soldier, so who will defend against foreign enemies?
After the baggage carriage set off, Tao Si immediately ordered the postmen to put the modified baggage carriage on it, and then paired it with a strong young horse.
Even though it's tiring for a horse to drag such a heavy thing, it's actually not very tiring. Firstly, the speed is actually not very fast. Secondly, it's just dragging. After all, it has wheels and the friction is already very small.
What's more important is that there is a station every thirty miles, and you can rest for several days after changing horses. Many horses can't wait to run more. Horses just like the feeling of galloping.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to go?" Ji Wei was on the verge of tears. Judging from what Tao Si said, that thing must not be much better, it should be quite torturous.
Yang Qian glanced at him, hating that iron cannot be made into steel. "You have to endure hardships to be a worker. Bah, you have to be a master. How can you not stand it even if you endure a little hardship? It's really useless."
"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
Ji Wei secretly said, "I have heard it."
"bad news?"
Yang Gan said, "When I come back, I will give you a good education. When I don't return to Yuntong, I will throw you into the military camp to exercise."
Ji Wei's expression suddenly turned bitter. He had already heard about the training programs in the military. Although he ate well and slept well, once he started practicing, it was not something that ordinary people could handle.
"Then what's the good news?"
Ji Wei said weakly.
Yang Gan grinned, "I will go there by myself this time. It won't take long to go back and forth. You can have a good rest."
Ji Wei was ecstatic in his heart, Your Majesty is not a human being. He will go astray wherever it is not easy to go, and he will go wherever there is no one.
There are no roads in many places, and the vibrations from driving can shake Jiwei's body to pieces.
Perhaps feeling that his facial expression was out of his control, he immediately calmed down and said, "Ah, that's it, that's a shame!"
Yang Gan was surprised and asked, "Can your body still bear it?"
Then he changed the subject and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go together."
Ji Wei's face turned bitter instantly.
"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding~~~!"
After Yang Gan finished speaking, he prepared emergency food and walked outside.
Ji Wei's face suddenly brightened up. He was good at everything, but he loved to make fun of others. To be honest, he was very serious on weekdays, but he didn't expect him to be so ~~~~ in private. Oh, it's so torturous.
The entire track is 1,200 miles long. It took a lot of machinery, manpower, and material resources to build it. There is a station every thirty miles.
Except for the station and the terminal station, the size of the general post station is not very large. In addition to the necessary stables, a part of the field will be reserved for growing ordinary crops. The specific type of planting depends on the choice of the postmaster.
After all, Yuntong provides salary and food. Of course, there are also some difficulties, that is, the need for post officials. Post soldiers are stationed here for a long time as a family unit, so no matter how small the post station is, it is not much smaller.
Yang Qian came inside and took a look, and immediately nodded with satisfaction. There were seats, a coal stove, and all the necessities, which was not bad.
After getting on the carriage, Yang Qian wanted to experience what the earliest rail train looked like. This was a product that transcended the times.
Although many supplies are transported from the sea to the front line, the transportation line that matches the track and straight road is also a top priority basic project.
In this transportation, at least 80% of the supplies from Liaodong County and Xuantu County were transported by rail.
The power of sea transportation is slightly weak, and it is usually transported to places where there are no good roads. The right way is to combine water transportation with land transportation and adapt to local conditions.
"Your Majesty, shall I start the engine? You must hurry up when starting." Tao Si warned, still a little worried.
Yang Gan said impatiently, "Okay, let's get started."
Yang Qian was looking forward to the scenery along the way. He didn’t know what he could see. In the past, when taking the train, besides playing with his mobile phone, he just liked to watch the rapidly receding scenery. He could watch it for several hours and then take a nap. , very comfortable.
With the sound of a whip that broke through the air, the horse suddenly exerted force.
Yang Qian, who had been calm just now, was suddenly startled. He leaned back uncontrollably, trying to grab something, but found that there was nothing. He did a 720° backward roll. ap.
The noise in the carriage was heard by everyone outside.
"Gulu"
Everyone swallowed, and Ji Wei asked uncertainly, "Is it your Majesty's voice?"
Tao Si's face was filled with despair, "Oh, it must have fallen. Anyone riding in this car will fall several times anyway."
"I hope your Majesty will not blame you. I have already reminded you."
When everyone was uneasy, a cold gaze appeared in the corner. This person was not very handsome, but he was actually a bit honest under his gloomy face.
He quickly turned around and walked towards the post station, and came to his room. The room was not big or small, but there was only one bed. Obviously, this person's status was not very low. Generally, post soldiers without family members were in Datongbu.
He took out a cage under his bed. There was a flapping sound from inside the cage, and he could feel the breath of a living creature inside.
I caught a few small birds, wrote some notes and stuffed them into the wooden barrel of the bird's claws. As soon as I opened the window, a postman came over and said with a smile.
"Tiejiang Zhang, it's almost time to eat."
The man quickly put down the cage in his hand, hid it behind his back, and said cheerfully.
"I heard you eat meat today, is that right?"
The visitor smiled and said, "Yes, today's pork belly is delicious."
"Okay, okay, I'll wash my hands and come right away."
"Okay, see you later."
"See you!"
Blacksmith Zhang licked his lips, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and looked around. Maybe because of eating, there was no one in the backyard.
Opening the cage, four or five birds rushed to spread their wings and fly outside.
Outside the inn, four or five people wearing different costumes gathered again. One of them was holding a bow in his hand and his face was a little solemn.
"Coming, coming~~~!" One of the young people murmured.
I saw several birds flying out from the inn. The man holding the bow and arrow suddenly lit up his eyes and shot an arrow towards the sky. In an instant, a flying bird fell down.
He didn't stop, and then opened the room. After a long time, several people looked ugly.
"How many are there in total?"
"Five."
"Gan~~~I just shot three of them."
"Alas~~~This bird is too small, so it's not easy to shoot."
"Then what should I do? I will be punished."
"Criminal punishment is a trivial matter. If the moth is not removed, then it is a sin!"
One of them picked up the dead bird, opened the mailbox and looked at it. After reading it for a moment, he frowned.
"Target is on the way!"
"What's the meaning?"
"No one seemed to have set out in the past hour."
"No, yes, one person is setting off."
In an instant, several people's eyes widened, and the strongest person immediately broke the waist of the little sloth next to him.
"That's it. Go find that person and torture him to extract a confession. You must get a confession. I'll report it first."
"promise!"
After two days of screening, they finally found the person who released the homing pigeons.
In the inn, in the cafeteria, everyone was eating happily. There were a few pieces of red braised pork in the big bowls of corn rice. Almost no one spoke, and everyone's mouths were full of oil.
At this time, the door was violently kicked open, and four people rushed in. In everyone's astonishment, they pushed Blacksmith Zhang to the ground, knocking the pots and pans on the table to the floor.
Many postmen quit their jobs.
"Hey, I said there's something wrong with you four. You won't even eat when I ask you to. You'll beat Lao Zhang as soon as you come in. Why did Lao Zhang mess with you?"
"Yeah, what are you doing? I finally got the pork belly."
"It's a sin."
I was lucky this time, and I was assigned a few pigs. I have been eating pork for several days in a row, and the best pork belly is left to eat today.
"Bang!"
Tao Si slammed the table and shouted, "No matter what the noise is, let me eat."
When everyone saw it, Yi Cheng got angry and immediately fell silent.
After Tao Si brought the four of them and Lao Zhang to his office, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
The leader said, "Six months ago, this person released flying pigeons once. We didn't find who it was at that time. He released them again a month ago. This time, we finally caught him. Unfortunately, two pigeons escaped."
Tao Si's face instantly turned ugly, "Then what should we do with this person?"
"There is no time. We must pry open his mouth. We suspect that this person's target this time should be your Majesty."
Tao Si opened his mouth, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose. He came to Lao Zhang and directly raised his hand to give him two big mouths.
