Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 192 The Three Elders and the Rail Car

The matter of rails and iron cars was thrown aside by Yang Yu. Originally, this, he didn’t need to do it himself. Click the last sentence and it will be done.

You have to study it slowly, I am not in a hurry, anyway, no one outside can surpass us, but, because of time, he can't do it just by asking, but now, Dao, he has already pointed it out, so there is no need to do it yourself Once again it was hands-on.

So, what is Yang Yu going to do next? Naturally, he has something to do. After all, is he an invisible king of Youzhou now? A king, unless he is a faint king, how can he have nothing to do? .

"Zihui, recently, have there been many incidents of drinking and making troubles, and how are they handled?" Yang Yu began to care about his incident that aroused the blood of the people.

"My lord, now, we don't care much about such things. These things have been taken over by the three elders."

"Three elders?" "Yes."

The so-called three elders are actually a thing that has been passed down for a long time, and Yang Yu also retained this system of three elders, but the three elders here are somewhat different from the three elders in the court.

If it is different, there is not much difference. In Youzhou, Yang Yu only kept the three elders of the township and the three elders of the county.

The three elders of the township exist as first-level chief officials, so disputes in the countryside, even helping with tax collection, and managing soldiers are their business, but they don't have any salary, some are just a reputation, and even There are special decorations on the house, so that people can easily recognize that this is the home of the three elders.

As for the county elders, their responsibilities are even more relaxed. They just assist the county magistrate to do some things to persuade the people, and to resolve some disputes.

These are not the main point, but the important point is that in Youzhou, there are almost no ethnic groups. One is because of the war, the other is the immigration of foreigners, and the other is that the mine owners replaced the land and let the original ethnic groups They were all torn apart, and most of the relocated people were relocated together with ethnic groups. However, when Yang Yu resettled them, he deliberately separated them. That is to say, an ethnic group will be scattered all over Youzhou. In this way, the three elders avoided the occurrence of clan elders.

There is another one, that is, in a family, when the population exceeds six people, the family needs to be separated. Once the family is separated, most of the new families will not gain a foothold in the village, but will be assigned to other families. In this way, a real common people's village was formed.

Li Zheng in this village is definitely a person with full prestige in the village, or someone officially appointed by the government. The three elders are also recommended by the real people. Even Yang Yu stipulated that the three elders should be the same as officials. At most, they can work for six years at most, and then they can't continue to be the third elders, unless they can go from the third elders of the township to the third elders of the county. However, the duties of the third elders of the township to the third elders of the county are different.

Under such circumstances, these three elders must work hard to truly establish their own prestige, and then it is possible to find a suitable position for their nephews. of subsidies.

These three elders will have a nephew who will be appointed as Lizheng, or even some small officials in the township or county. This is regarded as the reward of the three elders. Source to answer.

In this way, some disputes about drunkenness and riots were easily accepted by these three elders. You must know that they usually have nothing to do. What they do is to resolve disputes. Now, instead, they want to thank Yang Yu for giving them this opportunity.

"Zihui, in this way, it is also possible to let the three elders solve it, but you should send someone to learn from the three elders and the others. You must understand the following things, otherwise, you will be fooled easily."

"Well, I think so too. Originally, the lord wanted them to hone and hone, but now, there is no hone. This is not conducive to their development."

…………

When Yang Yu was busy with the tavern, he didn't expect that some mines stopped mining at the same time, but started to use immature tracks and iron cars.

"You guys, why are you in such a hurry, wait for this technology to mature before using it, can't it work?" Yang Yu was a little stunned.

"My lord, this is very good. Although it is very difficult to pull this iron cart, if the same manpower is used to pull the iron cart, it will transport dozens of times more ore than manpower. Isn't this very good? Is it?"

"This, this!" Yang Yu was a little stunned. Indeed, without careful research, he has no right to speak. It seems that these mine owners have really paid attention to this iron car recently, and even after careful study, they have no right to speak. Calculation, this is the conclusion.

"My lord, we think it's good to do this. In this way, we will have samples of some immature rails and iron cars, and we can know which plan is not practical, and even, in retrospect, we can continue Study one of these options."

This, again, was something that Yang Yu hadn't thought of. Yes, before, he just asked people to study, but after the research, what should we do? Continuing to research and continue to return to the furnace will not only waste fuel, but also waste manpower. Even after the research, I feel that one of the solutions is good. If I want to find this solution again, maybe I will never be able to replicate it. Come out with this plan.

And under the strong request of these mine owners, they must first use this iron car, which not only solves the problem of saving the plan, but also solves the problem of money, and also speeds up the research, so that people have more confidence to continue the research. Why not do it.

That's it, the iron carts used in the mine are all manpower pulled, and for the reserved gravel road, people also paved the sleeper rails, and even paved the bottom with cement, This is to allow the horses to run on it without damaging their hooves. Although the friction force is very strong, the transport capacity is not comparable to that of ordinary wooden wheeled carriages.

"My lord, I think this railway track and iron car can be used to transport logistics supplies, especially in wartime. The speed is beyond words."

Jushou also saw the benefits of this track, and soon, he suggested to Yang Yu that the long-distance track should be laid for the army to transport supplies, but he did not suggest transporting soldiers. This is unnecessary, because, Soldiers riding horses are much faster than taking this iron cart.

As for the transportation of logistics materials, it must be transported by horse-drawn carriage. When the road is difficult to travel, even when the road is easy to walk, the horse-drawn carriage cannot compare to the iron cart.
