Different World Development Manual Chapter 13: The arrival of Lucerne
North of Fort Anri, on the road leading to the Duke of Capay, a carriage with the flag of the Holy See of the Red Moon is slowly driving on it.
is sitting in the car, the Red Moon Holy See, the Cardinal Lucerí of Panda, the 53-year-old Lucerí opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at the strange scenery outside the window.
Since entering the Duke of Deherbas, the entire Duke’s contents have made Lucerí curious.
I remember the last time the Duke of Deherbas was summoned by Norman in An Rui and sent to the Emerald Forest in the first half of the month.
It's just a long time before there has been such a big change.
The two-way 4-lane black road is flat and hard, which greatly improves the speed of the carriage.
On the road on the border of the Duke of Deherbas, there are soldiers in the collar, fully armed, armed with halberds and swords, and set up a gate on the road.
Once a vehicle from outside the territory enters, these soldiers will immediately stop it.
Luceri was not only surprised, but said in his heart: "What is An Rui planning to do?"
Who knows that the soldiers told the coachman in Lucerne that because the Duke of Deherbas imposed traffic regulations, foreign vehicles must abide by the traffic regulations in the territory.
At the border gate, there are still many coachmen in the Duke of Deherbas.
They hold a horse-drawn carriage driver's license. You only need to hire them, and your horse-drawn carriage will get a temporary license to drive on its own under the Duke of Deherbas.
Of course, you can also get off the bus and change to the larger carriages of other coachmen under the Duke Deherbas, which is the newly formed bus and horse convoy of the Duke.
The Holy See’s car Lucerí will not be replaced. Instead, he chooses to hire a coachman led by the Duke of Dehbas to drive it on his behalf, and obtain a temporary license plate by the way.
Originally Lucerne would have thought that it would cost a lot of money, but once a set is completed, even those stingy traveling salesmen can completely accept it happily.
Lucerne noticed that in the parking lot by the border gate, the tires of many carriages were very strange.
They seem to be a big circle, and they are all black, with many lines on them, and they look uneven. They are much larger than the normal-sized wagon wheels outside the Duke of De Hebas.
As the hired local driver took the sign and got into the carriage, Lucerí asked: "I found that there seem to be many carriages with different wheels."
Because Lucerne did not pass on the uniform of the cardinal archbishop, the coachman did not recognize who this old man was.
I saw it was a foreigner, and immediately became proud: "Oh, ah, after the war, Chinese merchants transported a lot of carriage tires from Friendship Pass to An Ruibao for sale.
It is said that that kind of tire is called rubber. When a carriage is fitted with it, it not only moves faster, but also has a much better anti-bumping effect.
A tire of this kind is almost 200 soft, but when a set is changed, it is 400 soft and 800 soft. "
Luceri is not very clear about the currency called "soft" in the agent's mouth. I don't know how it is exchanged with the empire's currency.
Lucerí asked: "Is it expensive?"
Nodded on behalf of the driver: "It's kind of, but if you get an errand from the Huaxia people or the Duke, it will be a month or two."
Lucerne nodded. For civilians, a month’s salary is a bit expensive, probably equivalent to 10 empire coins, right?
"It's a bit expensive."
Immediately after that, the driver said: "If it is converted into empire coins, it is almost half a standard bag."
"Huh?"
Lucerne was taken aback, two tires of 400 softness are equivalent to half a bag of Imperial coins?
Soft coins are so valuable?
followed by another weird look at the driver, or is An Rui now richer? Doing charity?
If there are 2 tires and a half bag of Empire Coins, wouldn't those large carriages with 4 tires be worth at least a bag of Empire Coins?
Looking at Lucerí’s gaze, the driver suddenly realized, “Guest, you’ve just come to Duke Deherbas recently. Those two large horse-drawn carriages are called “buses”. Run the route from this gate to Fort Anrui.
The full name of is the public transportation carriage. It is the carriage of the Deherbas Bus Company handled by the Lord Duke. It is said that there are 50 buses running through the gate of Ann Ruibao.
only need 2 soft purchase tickets, you can ride them to An Ruibao. "
Luceri squinted his eyes. As expected, An Rui is rich now. 50 cars are 200 tires. That is 50 bags of Imperial Coins. Is An Rui robbing the Imperial Treasury?
Lucerne couldn’t help but smile. He was very funny and puzzled for his friend who had traveled from that place called the earth, and whispered in a low voice: "Hua Xia, that’s your homeland. I really want to go there. Take a look."
From the North Gate to Anruibao, it was 40 kilometers away, and the carriage took 2 hours.
For Lucerne, who is used to riding the carriage on the dirt road, this dark road leading to Fort Anri is very pleasant to Lucerne.
Flat, steady, and fast. This is Lucerne’s highest praise for this road.
There are many local people on both sides of the road, waving hoes and shovels, planting trees one by one into the pit.
When entering An Ruibao, the traffic police also checked for a while, confirmed the identity of the driver and the temporary license, and then let it go.
The old town of Ann Ruibao is still the same without much change.
The old houses are still old houses, but some old houses have been demolished, turning into a big and wide black road in the middle.
two-way four-lane, this is the standard configuration of Anqi highway.
is just such a wide road. Except for some horse-drawn carriages driving on both sides of the road, most of them are residents of Ann Ruibao.
On the road, it is difficult to see the electric freight pickup truck coming from the south of the Great Wall outside China.
Lucerius couldn’t help asking: “Is Duke Deherbas now very rich? How wide the road is to be built? I don’t seem to see many carriages.”
is also incomprehensible: "Yes, there are obviously few horse-drawn carriages, but the Deherbas Road Traffic Law stipulates that horse-drawn carriages can only be driven in the outer lane, which is the lane on the right.
The inner lane on the left hand side needs to be reserved for 4-wheel cars. "
"Car?"
Nodded on behalf of the driver: "It's the thing of the Chinese people. It does not require magic or meat. It seems that it can walk like a horse if it eats electricity, and the speed is several times that of a carriage.
However, apart from residents and carriages, there are few steel cars with four wheels in An Ruibao.
God knows why Lord Duke wants to build such a wide road. Perhaps it is the difference between what these big people and small people like me see. "
In the past, the widest road in Anruibao was only about 6 meters, and the gravel road was paved with paving stones.
But after the end of China’s self-defense counterattack, Fort Anri began to develop.
All the main roads have been changed to concrete roads. As for the installation roads, they are all asphalt roads.
Of course, all the houses on both sides of the road were also demolished, and Lord Duke also gave a lot of compensation. In the newly built new area outside the city, each demolished household is assigned to a two- and three-story townhouse. The three-bedroom unit of the housing.
Compared with the old house demolished, the new house has a larger area, a better community environment, and there is running water. The demolished households are very grateful to Lord Duke.
Of course, there are also daring people who don't want to divide the house. They used Lord Duke to compensate for 1,000 softness, started from scratch, and started a business.
said on behalf of the driver: "Whenever we can be demolished, it's like taking my wife and daughter to live in a new city outside the city."
Luceri curiously asked: "How old is your daughter?"
Speaking of her daughter, that generation was full of pride: "7 years old, now I am studying at the school run by Lord Duke.
ah oh uh, huh, it’s very beautiful, and when I come back from school, I often ask me and her mother to read together. "
"Ah oh uh, huh?
What is that? "
On behalf of the driver proudly said: "Hey, guest, this is Chinese, the language spoken by the Chinese people, the characters used, and now the entire pupils of the Duke of Deherbas are learning this."
Lucerne nodded~IndoMTL.com~ Following the lord’s culture, there is nothing wrong in this world.
An Rui is a Chinese, and it is normal to imitate the Chinese culture.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
At this time, a traffic policeman rang a bell at the intersection ahead, and another traffic policeman raised a red flag and whistled to remind the carriage ahead to pay attention to the situation.
"Call!"
The driver screamed, and the horse stopped immediately.
Luceri poked his head out of the carriage and looked forward, and asked: "What's the matter?"
drove back and smiled: "The characteristics of the Duke of Deherbas, the traffic law stipulates that the green flag should be used, and the red flag should stop.
It’s this time, it just happens that school is over. "
On the sidewalk, a group of elementary school students wearing yellow helmets, carrying small schoolbags, jumping and holding hands, crossed the crosswalk under the leadership of Teacher Hua Xia holding a small red flag.
Many children also bowed to the carriage driver who was waiting for them at the intersection, and the traffic policeman who directed the carriage for them, bowed and questioned.
drove triumphantly, and introduced: "Hey, my daughter is just like their elementary school students.
How about , isn't it cute? "
Luce Limo rubbed the beard on his chin, looked at the group of novel students in uniforms, and muttered: "Are these the primary school students?"
