Chapter 418 The Outlook on the Car

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, I have such a powerful weapon for traveling in the Tang Dynasty, and I have no worries in the Tang Dynasty." This is not flattery, this is a real congratulation, which Yang Heng can see from his eyes.

After getting on the train, his eyes kept staring outside. Although he didn't look far, he could see the decrease in people. When the train turned a small corner, he finally saw the whole picture of the train. Everyone should have experience in taking the train. Once the train turns, if the passengers on the inner circle are on the other side of the inner circle, they will definitely see the entire train, and even when there is no sunlight reflection, they can see the people in front of the glass windows.

"Haha, Tongxie Tongxi, Wei Qing, when did you speak so well?" Li Er, because he was in a good mood, joked with Wei Zheng. Of course, Wei Zheng was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't even want to pick the word Li Er anymore. "Reply to Your Majesty, I'm telling the truth."

"Your Majesty, I want to ask, can this train be used for military purposes, and how long will it take to spread across the country?" "General Li, let me answer you." Li Er slanted his eyes with Yang Heng. Yang Heng naturally knew that he wanted to answer this. Li Er could not answer these questions.

"Success, then you can explain to me when you study literature." Li Jing's eyes showed that I looked like this. In fact, he knew that whether it was the train or the railway, it was all done by Yang Heng. What does it have to do with Li Er? But whether it is here or in the Tang Dynasty, Li Er is the biggest, so why don't Li Er ask for instructions?

"General Li," "You should call me Uncle Li." "Well, Uncle Li, this train can not only be used for civilians, but also for military purposes, especially for long-distance transportation. That is the best. If we want to attack a barrier, we will slowly build the railway outside their defense range before the attack, and then rush over it openly."

This. Yang Heng’s idea was to attack anyone, there was no need to attack. He first issued a war letter, and then quickly built a temporary railway under his nose, and then used the train's powerful transportation capacity to transport troops in place at one time. If they interfered with the construction of the railway, they were seeking death. If there were fewer troops, they could destroy them in pieces. If there were more troops, wouldn’t it be our intention? Let’s have a decisive battle in the wild, and even the train could become a mobile base for heavy weapons, such as a strong crossbow or a catapult, which could be fixed on the train.

"Big nephew. Tell me what this catapult is?" Ah, ah, there is no catapult in the Tang Dynasty. "Yes, learn literature, is this catapult?" "Your Majesty, Uncle Li, didn't the catapult exist in the Warring States Period? It seems that there are records."

"Hey, ha, that, we thought that was bragging. Perhaps the information of the trencher was burned down during the Qin Dynasty." Well, Yang Heng made another ancient weapon.

"This catapult is a powerful weapon for siege or field battle. When siege, we can use large stones to smash the enemy's city walls and passes. In field battles, we can throw out the gravel when the enemy attacks, so that the enemy will kill and injure the enemy's morale on a large scale, and even let the enemy be defeated before they meet with our army."

"Who is stronger and weaker than a steam cannon?" "This is not comparable, but it is almost the same as the two. However, the power of the catapult is greater, and the steam cannon is weaker at this stage. However, the catapult uses too much manpower, while the steam cannon only uses few people. However, I think this catapult can be used in combination with the steam cannon, so the catapult can save a lot of manpower."

Yes, Yang Heng immediately thought of it. If the noose of the trench machine is not manually pulled, and the reducer is directly driven by a steam engine and the noose, wouldn’t it save manpower? Even the counterweight end of the trench machine can be used to convey weights inside with a conveyor belt, but picking it out requires people to use a person. Yang Heng’s plan is, can the counterweight end of the trench machine be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of the counterweight to adjust the range?

"Then, what about the range?" "The range, a large catapult, I plan to make it cast a small catapult between 500 and 700 steps, about 200 steps, or even small, I will study it slowly and design it according to the needs. This is a catapult that is carried out simultaneously with the team, that is, the catapult opens the way in front and the army follows behind." At this time, Yang Heng remembered the game of the Empire Age. This small catapult was used in conjunction with strong crossbows, but these can easily cause accidental damage to his own people.

"Big nephew, there is another question you haven't mentioned. How long can you take to pave the railway across the country?" "This is a question. First of all, bridges cannot be built on some big rivers. Then you need to use ferries to transport the trains directly on the edge of the river, or get people off the train directly on the side of the river, after a ship, and then continue traveling on the other side of the train. There is another most important question, that is, the national strength of our Tang Dynasty, because the construction of this railway is quite expensive. Now, the money given by the Supreme Emperor has basically been used up. However, in order to achieve the Supreme Emperor's wish, my railway has been built for more than 200 miles, and there are still more than 800 miles. I need

If you want to borrow money to repair it, you are waiting to earn it back by relying on freight or something. Your Majesty, let me tell you, the railway is a cooperative project between our Yang family and the Royal Family. How about we each occupy half of the shares? There is also the same with the train factory. No matter how many train equipment sold, we each account for half of the revenue share." At this time, there was no idea of ​​controlling the stock, so it was still about the mind. Even if Li Er wanted to occupy Yang Heng's shares, Yang Heng really couldn't turn against Li Er, so he could only do this. Moreover, because of Yang Heng's technical problems, Li Er might turn against him very little. After a long time, he might instill some ideas about the current economics in Li Er.

"It's up to you, and I won't send anyone in. If you learn literature, you will suffer some losses. All management matters will belong to you." When Li Er heard Yang Heng's statement, he knew that he had taken a big advantage. Moreover, after Yang Heng's statement, it was a cooperation between the Yang family and the royal family, that is, cooperation with his Li family, so it had nothing to do with the court.

"Your Majesty, this tax?" Wei Zheng understood it. There was no tax in it, so it would not be possible. The court could not suffer any losses.

"Haha, this, please ask about your studies." Li Er smiled awkwardly and directly pushed the matter to Yang Heng. "Duke Wei, don't think about the taxes on railways. However, in terms of military use or disaster relief, we will give the court priority, and it is free. This railway is a loss-making business. If you really want taxes, then I might as well demolish these railways directly."

"You," Wei Zheng glared a little, "Don't look at me like this. This railway is profitable, and it is also a small profit. It is not worth taxing. Besides, the steel and coal used in this railway have been taxed. Even in many years, the railway may be returned to the court for use, but I don't know if the court can use it."

Originally, Yang Heng wanted to pay taxes, but suddenly he remembered that in his previous life, any country's railway was operated at a loss, and it seemed that in some countries in the United States and Europe, they were taken back by the state because they could not continue to operate individually. This is the main artery of a country, so naturally it cannot collapse, so it is operated at a loss. Only the Celestial Empire will switch from state to individual or corporate business, which is like a joke.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Wei, don't be angry. What Nephew Xuewen said is right. Let me think that this railway has no future. This is completely because His Majesty and Xuewen are doing good things. There is also Xuewen. I hope you will cover the main railway roads of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. If you really lack money, we old people can also participate."

Who is Li Jing, the number one military strategist in the Tang Dynasty? Although the railway may lose money, it will be found in other aspects, such as the transportation of some family things and personnel transportation. As long as you participate in the shares, you may get priority use rights. Then why not participate in the shares? If you lose money here, you will find it there.
