Chapter 239 Demon Bone Car

Before dawn, there were more convoys on the official road, transporting a large amount of supplies to Xixia City, and soon, there were nearby farmers driving ox carts, pulling newly collected vegetables and fruits to the city go.

Li Si squatted on the side of the official road, and didn't care about the dust raised on the official road. He observed these vehicles and pedestrians very carefully, and occasionally stopped a few ox carts to buy some fruits and vegetables.

This official road is not the most important official road leading from the Great Xia Imperial Capital to Xixia Pass. If it is so busy, it can be seen how prosperous this area is, and this prosperity is inseparable from the strategy of garrisoning fields.

In addition, Li Si also noticed that among these vehicles, most of the farms in the Tuntian farms no more than [-] miles away from Xixia City used bullock carts, and the technology used by the carts was fairly ordinary.

Farms that exceed this distance use horse-drawn carriages, usually three horses and one four-wheeled cart, with a strong loading capacity, at least four thousand catties.

This kind of four-wheeled vehicle uses bearings, and even the wheels are wrapped with a rubber-like substance, which can not only absorb shocks well when walking, but also carry more cargo.

But there is also a kind of animal cart, which uses tamed monsters, and the cart pulled is also specially made. It has ten wheels, can carry at least [-] catties, and runs very fast.

And Li Si has no doubt that there should be more advanced transportation methods in this world, such as air transportation, if the flying monsters are tamed.

"Boss, it's time for breakfast."

Mr. Zhang called Li Si who was next to the official road back.

"What kind of farming method is there, Mr. Zhang knows?"

Seeing Li Si frowning and thinking, Zhang Sanye sighed in his heart. It seems that this young escort is really concerned about the matter of farming, but it is a pity that this is an outdated road. Here, because of the policy of farming, it has become like a fortress in the south of the Yangtze River, and the supply of various materials has never been in short supply.

If farming here can solve the problem, why would the Qingshan Escort Bureau go out to open a new business route, but hundreds of people died, but they still failed in the end.

"Hey, the so-called garrisoning the fields actually means that the needs of the Xixia Pass defenders are the highest. One is to plant spiritual rice. The soldiers in the army are the lowest-strength warriors, so they must eat spiritual rice every day; the second is to plant polished rice. It is used for military horse mounts in the army. If it is a tamed monster mount, it needs meat; the third is to raise livestock, chickens, ducks, geese, horses, cattle and sheep, to provide meat for the army; the fourth is to grow fruits and vegetables, and the fifth is food. Production and storage, because there are five months of winter here at Xixiaguan, food storage is very important."

"If the young guards want to farm, they don't need to be responsible for all of them, but they must have the first three. However, even if the captain of the Xiliangshan outpost takes care of us, the output price of the farm will not be the same. Too high, because the products around Xixiaguan are too rich, they can sell them at a very low price, and still make a lot of money, but we can’t, because the early reclamation is a huge investment.”

Speaking of this, the implication of Zhang Sanye's words is already very clear, that is, farming is a matter of losing money.

But Li Si didn't care, he wasn't afraid of losing money, and the Historical Alliance supported him behind him. If he lost money, a historical rule could only be exchanged for 100 low-quality immortal stones, which was almost lost to his grandma's family.

But as long as you can gain a foothold in this world, everything is worth it.

There is no need to explain the truth here to the old men.

"In a while, we are going to buy some livestock and vehicles needed for farming. Is there any place to sell them in Xixia City?" Li Si asked.

"Here, you can go to the West Market or the East Market." Mr. Zhang said helplessly. It seems that the young escort has really made up his mind after eating the weight.

After breakfast, Li Si took the old men with him, and then entered Xixia City in a mighty manner.

It is said to be a city, but in fact there is no city wall, because it is unnecessary, but the people who planned it at the beginning should be very powerful. The layout of Xixia City is completely connected by roads.

The official road in the center is directly from the Imperial Capital to Xixia Pass. Within a certain distance, the width has reached [-] meters. Common people and pedestrians are not allowed to enter. Even vehicles that pull goods can only drive on the auxiliary roads on both sides. This separates the military from the civil.

And on this central official road, six overpasses were built to connect east and west without interfering with the central official road.

Relying on this overpass, it is divided into six areas: Dongshi, Xishi, Dongfang, Xifang, Daku, and Guanya.

The first two are markets, the middle two are residential areas, and the latter two are government jurisdictions.

When Li Si and the others arrived, the east and west cities were already overcrowded. The east city was mainly filled with restaurants, teahouses, inns, grain and oil, medical centers, cloth shops, tailor shops, and various shops related to monsters. set here.

The West Market mainly deals in livestock trading, fish and shrimp, poultry, and slaughtering. Of course, there are also restaurants, inns, and teahouses, but the grades are lower.

To be more specific, the common trading method in the East Market is mainly immortal stones, while the common trading method in the West Market is mainly silver.

Li Si didn't know whether this fairy stone was naturally generated or made after the day after tomorrow, but there was no doubt that it could be used as a currency in circulation, which was enough to prove that it was a lot of money.

He was not in a hurry to buy supplies, but just like Grandma Liu when he entered the Grand View Garden, looking around, stopping and asking for prices from time to time, but he never bought anything. He just walked around from morning to night, and then returned to the campsite yesterday. It seems like nothing is achieved, but in fact it is not.

Li Si has already recorded the prices of 370 six kinds of goods, and based on this, he has a general analysis and understanding of the Tuntian farms around Xixia City.

In the early morning of the next day, he went straight to the East and West Market again and started a wave of big purchases.

But he went to Dongshi first, and bought five demon bone vehicles at the price of ten immortal stones each. These are the vehicles with the highest technical level that Li Si can buy in Xixia City.

Comparable to picking up leaks.

This kind of demon bone car weighs [-] jins alone, and has twelve wheels in total, each of which is comparable to a run-flat tire. It has good shock absorption, is comfortable, and most importantly, has an excellent carrying capacity.

The girder of the demon bone car is made of demon bone, and many textures are engraved on it. This is not for aesthetics, but to release the energy in the fairy stone.

Yes, that's right, the demon bone car can be pulled by a tamed bull demon, or it can be driven by itself by consuming fairy stones. On a flat official road, it can run at a speed of [-] miles per hour with a load of [-] tons , and a piece of fairy stone can run [-] miles.

It sounds like this is the best way for long-distance transportation, but in fact, apart from high-ranking officials and dignitaries, there are basically no commercial firms or escort agencies that are willing to use demon bone carts.

Because the price/performance ratio is not cost-effective.

It is roughly equivalent to using a Gulfstream airliner to transport a ton of Chinese cabbage across [-] kilometers. Doing business with this will probably lose money.

In fact, after the demon bone car was made, no one cared about it until it was photographed by Li Si yesterday.

The seller clearly stated that these five monster bone cars have been produced for five years. Five years ago, a large-scale beast tide broke out, and he obtained a batch of high-quality and cheap monster spines, and made them into monster bone cars , the cost has dropped by more than half compared to that of the Imperial Capital.

He wanted to make a lot of money, but in the end, five monster bone cars fell into his hands.

But in the Imperial Capital, such a demon bone car can be sold for at least 30 yuan of immortal stones.

Li Si is not short of fairy stones now, so he bought all five monster bone cars in one go. The purpose of it has not been decided yet, or the time has not yet come.

Now the situation is very good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no war, and the goods are sufficient, but what if the environment is changed.

This thing is a strategic transport vehicle.

With a load of 1200 tons, a battery life of [-] miles, and a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, there is too much room for maneuvering.
