Mohist Tang

Vermilion Bird Street.

It is the Central Axis Street of Chang’an City, from the Vermilion Bird Gate of the imperial city to the Mingde Gate of the south city gate, using this as the central axis to divide Chang’an City into two.

Vermilion Bird Street is 150 steps wide and 10 li long. It was the only street that could enter the inner city of Chang’an City. Everyday all there are a large number of foreign Emissary and businessmen entering Chang’an City from Vermilion Bird Street. .

It can be said that Vermilion Bird Street is the most prosperous street in Chang’an City and even the entire Great Tang, and it is also the place where officials enter the palace every day.

Su Luosheng wants to make political achievements, in the eyes of Li Shimin and Entire Court civil and military, Vermilion Bird Street is naturally the best choice.

The sun rises, a new day.

Chang’an City is as prosperous and busy as usual, a large number of businessmen poured into Chang’an City to start a busy day, each for their own livelihoods.

However, many attentive people have discovered that on the wooden poles of the city-wide warning system on both sides of Vermilion Bird Street, every half a mile or so, a simple sign is hung with place names written on them.

“Kaihuafang, Anyifang, Daxingshan Temple, Small Wild Goose Pagoda…”

Every sign will be written with nearby famous buildings or prominent landmarks , And then write the name of Fang Market directly.

“Bus stop sign.”

Many people are chewing on this new-born word, and it is a bit unclear.

On the south city gate gate tower.

Mo Dun and Su Luosheng standing side by side.

Where did Su Luosheng have experience in bus transportation, it was simply at a loss. Mo Dun simply did it well and took over all the planning.

Standing on the gate tower, Mo Dun couldnt help feeling full of emotion. He thought that when he first entered Chang’an City, he had a conflict with the south city gate guard, how could he think of it for less than a year? In time, he was invited to the south city gate gate tower by Su Luosheng as a VIP.

“Mingdemen!”

Su Luosheng was slightly excited to look at the three big words under the gate tower and five brand new four-wheeled buses of neat and tidy.

The four-wheeled bus is the latest product of Mohist Village. Aside from other messy designs, it strives to maximize the number of people. Therefore, each four-wheeled bus is more than twice the size of the ordinary four-wheeled Carriage. .

According to Mo Duns plan, he originally planned to build a batch of bus stops on Vermilion Bird Street. However, Su Luosheng couldnt wait that long. He didnt want to let nearly a hundred horses in Ch_ngn County. The yas ate for nothing and waste money.

On the other hand, during this time, the county government of Ch_ng’n did not spend a penny at all, and wanted Su Luosheng to pay for the construction of a bus station. That was impossible. At least there were no results in the bus system. Before, he didn’t see rabbits or scatter eagles.

Mo Dun had no choice. Mo Dun had to hang up a few signs as bus stop signs to complete the construction of the bus at the fastest speed, and there will be the first day of trial operation today.

“Four horses, Lord Su, this is generous!” Mo Dun saw that there were four horse-drawn carts in front of every four-wheeled carriage.

“Since it is a pilot, it must be the best.” Su Luosheng said proudly without any shame.

In the pilot this time, Su Luosheng not only directly doubled the horse-drawn cart, but also specially prepared 20 horses for rotation. On the basis of ensuring the horsepower, the horses were changed without changing the carts. Let the four-wheel bus run uninterruptedly and strive to be perfect.

“If Lord Su can be more generous, the bus carriage will definitely be more beautiful.” Mo Dun still regrets that there is no bus stop.

“The taxes collected by this county are the people’s blood, sweat and tears, how can they be wasted in these flashy places.”

Su Luosheng said, in his opinion, Such a major event that benefits the country and the people, can it be done without spending money, wouldn’t it be more able to set off his political achievements?

Mo Dun praised: “Chang’an City has Su County Magistrate, which is really a blessing to the people.”

To be honest, Su Luosheng is usually bureaucratic and utilitarian. Strong, but it is a good thing for the people of Chang’an City. It is Su Luosheng’s utilitarianism that the bus system can appear in Chang’an City at the fastest speed.

“Can this really happen?”

Although everything is ready, it is a new thing after all, Su Luosheng is still a little worried.

Mo Dun and Su County Magistrate set the time for the trial operation of the bus Carriage at Shishi, which will be between 9 am and 11 am in later generations. This time period is the active travel of Chang’an City citizens More moments.

Of course, the hour is better, and more people travel, but after all, public transportation is a new thing. At least one hour must be set aside for publicity.

Beside every bus stop on both sides of Vermilion Bird Street, there will be a government official promoting the bus carriage.

“Bus Carriage is the good governance of the County Magistrate adults. They understand that it is not easy for the poor to travel. The bus Carriage is specially set up to carry people to and from Vermilion Bird Avenue. It is free during the trial operation period.” South city gate station Under the card, Cao Constable walked off in person, propagating hard.

“Free ride?”

Suddenly many ordinary people and to-and-fro merchants are interested.

Free is that Mo Dun deliberately thought of a foolproof trick for the implementation of public transport Carriage. In any era, free is the most attractive word.

In this era, wealthy people can only have horses and carriages. Where can ordinary persons have the opportunity to ride carriages, especially free rides.

“Su County Magistrate is really the Blue Sky Lord!” Many people shouted sincerely.

“I don’t know how long is this trial operation?” A man in Tsing Yi asked suddenly among the crowd of onlookers, and other people were also looking at him. This is their most concerned issue.

Cao Li loudly said: “half a month.”

Mo Dun is going to set a one-month trial opening time, but unfortunately he was denied by the stingy Su Luosheng. These horses every day The consumption is extremely scary. If you feed these horses for a month in vain, the Ch_ng’n county government may go bankrupt.

“Where in a month?” The man in Tsing Yi asked again.

“After a month, of course, there will be a charge. After all, these horses have to eat grass and eat food and hire a special driver.” Cao Li said.

“Charge?”

Everyone was disappointed at once. Carriage is so expensive, and four-horse horse-drawn carts, this is not something an ordinary person can afford.

“How much is the charge for one ride?” The man in Tsing Yi asked loudly.

Cao Li replied: “A penny, no matter how far away, is a penny on the bus.”

“A penny?” Everyone was in an uproar.

A penny can be obtained even by any ordinary person. It is inconceivable that only one penny is needed to ride such a Carriage. Only a penny can save a lot of time. This It’s a bargain.

Seeing the expressions of many people be eager to have a try under the gate tower, Mo Dun said proudly: “Lord Su dont worry, as long as the people take the bus Carriage, no matter where they get off on Vermilion Bird Avenue, It takes up to two hundred steps to reach it. After experiencing the convenience of taking public transportation, everything will be a matter of course.”

The one-month free period is to cultivate the market and let the people of Chang’an City accept it. Bus Carriage is a new thing, and the others are accustomed to taking the bus, I am afraid they don’t want to travel on foot.

“In the future, as there are more and more bus routes, the people of Chang’an City will definitely take bus Carriage as their first choice when they travel.”

Su Luosheng couldn’t help but breathe. When he was stagnant, he thought of the bus blueprint planned by Mo Dun, and he couldn’t help himself for a long time. As long as he transfers once, he can reach any place in Chang’an City. This is simply a revolutionary change in ordinary person travel.
