Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"As long as we can solve the problem of north-south transportation and dig a grand canal at that time, the south will definitely become a treasure land. After you go back, Uncle Meng, you can share my suggestion with His Majesty. I believe he will With a sharp eye, you can definitely see the importance of the Baiyue Land."

"Don't worry, son, I will tell you when I go back."

Meng Yi nodded in agreement, but he was somewhat puzzled.

Is this land of Baiyue really as important as Zhao Che said?Even at the expense of opening up a grand canal connecting the north and the south, the land of Baiyue must be in hand.

You must know that Daqin had already spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to dig a spiritual canal.

According to Zhao Che's words, the Grand Canal must not only run through the north and the south, but also meet the needs of transportation between the south and the north. The scale must not be small.

If this is really made, how much effort will it take?I'm afraid it won't be enough to empty Daqin's pockets, right?

The most important thing is, how can we ensure the return of the cost after it is built?

Meng Yi thought about it in his mind. These issues were not something he should consider. He should pass them on to Ying Zheng after returning home, and then make a decision.

"Young Master, since my people have been delivered, I won't stay any longer, and I have to go back to Xianyang to return to my life."

Meng Yi bowed his hand to Zhao Che, and planned to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait a minute, help me bring a present back to my father!"

Zhao Che stopped Meng Yi.

"what gift?"

Meng Yi asked with some doubts, did Zhao Che come up with any weird things during this period of time?

"Xiao Niu, go and drive the car I prepared for Dad!"

Zhao Che turned his head and gave instructions to Maverick.

Not long after, Mavericks came out from the backyard riding an unusually luxurious tricycle.

"At this time?"

Meng Yi was stunned, it was the first time he had seen this kind of car, a person could run while sitting on it and pedaling with his feet.

"How about it? This is a human-powered tricycle made by Mo Sheng. It can not only be used as a means of transportation, but also be used for transportation."

"Ah, sir, you don't want Mr. to ride this, right? I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Meng Yi said with some dumbfounding.

This tricycle looks very powerful, but the key question is, what is Ying Zheng's identity? When does he need to pull the cart by himself?

Thinking of Yingzheng, a dignified Emperor of Qin, going out on this tricycle every day, Meng Yi couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

"Who said that this tricycle can only be ridden? Can't it be ridden? And I guarantee that this tricycle is much more comfortable to sit on than a horse-drawn carriage."

This tricycle was refitted by Zhao Che himself. Not only were rubber tires added, but also shock absorption and anti-skid were added.

This is also thanks to the messy things that have been signed in these years, it is useless to keep them anyway, so Zhao Che simply used them all to make such a complete version of the tricycle.

The tricycle manufactured by Zhao Che was purely for carrying people, so naturally some changes were made.

For example, a canopy was installed on the front of the car, and the rear body was directly transformed into a carriage carriage, and then glass windows were installed on both sides, and a seat was placed inside.

It seems that this tricycle is no different from ordinary carriages, but it is different when sitting on it.

Due to the pneumatic wheels, coupled with the reason of shock absorption, and the pedaling of a human being is much smoother than that of a horse-drawn carriage, the comfortable experience of riding is not comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage.

Since Zhao Che wants to build cars, it is naturally impossible to only manufacture agricultural ones.

This style of tricycle was prepared by him for the nobles of the Qin State. After all, R&D and manufacturing cost money.

Who wouldn't love such a luxurious and comfortable tricycle?

"My lord, can I try?"

After listening to Zhao Che's narration, Meng Yi's face was full of anticipation.

If this tricycle is really as powerful as Zhao Che said, it goes without saying that it will be popular in the whole of Xianyang, oh no, the whole of Daqin.

Although the carriage is faster and more convenient than the tricycle, its disadvantage is too obvious, that is, the bumps.

No matter how smooth the road is, the carriage cannot avoid the characteristic of bumps, after all, the front of the carriage is pulled by the horses.

When a horse is running, it is inevitable that it will shake up and down.

On the flat road, it can barely accept it, but it is a little wobbly.

But if you encounter an already rough road, then you will really go to jail purely.

Every time Ying Zheng came to Jingyang in a carriage, he felt that his butt would swell for a long time.

"That's fine, it's okay to let you try the effect first."

Zhao Che agreed casually.

Hearing this, Meng Yi got into the compartment of the tricycle without saying a word, and ordered one of his men to come down to help ride the bicycle.

He didn't dare to ask Zhao Che to drive him personally. If Ying Zheng found out about this, he would have to skin him.

Maverick is not good either, except for Zhao Che and Ying Zheng, he is not very close to Meng Yi and others.

What's more, he is a celebrity around Zhao Che, and Meng Yi doesn't want to offend him.

Fortunately, riding a tricycle is relatively simple.

Meng Yi's guards understood a little bit, and then rode a tricycle around the yard.

"I really can't feel a little bump!"

Meng Yi leaned on the seat, and through the glass windows on both sides, he could see the scenery outside following the movement of the vehicle, but the bottom of his buttocks was very stable.

And the guard riding the bike also had a very novel feeling.

Probably people who learn to ride a bicycle for the first time are like this. They don’t feel tired at all, and feel that they can ride for a long time without getting off.

Half a day later, the guard didn't stop until Zhao Che made a sound.

And Meng Yi also got out of the carriage with a face of reluctance.

"My lord, do you still have a car like this here? I want one too, so just ask me how much it is!"

As soon as Meng Yi came out, he couldn't wait to inquire.

This car is really much more comfortable to ride than a carriage, and it is stable and not slow.

If I can also have such a car, and ride it when I go to the court meeting another day, those officials in Xianyang City must not be envious of me?
"For the time being, it is estimated that there are no more, at least there are no more like this specification, but wooden wheels can still be made. If you want, I will get you one later!"

"Wooden wheels?"

Meng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the wheels of the tricycle, only then realized something was wrong.

"Huh? What's this on the wheel of this car?"

"This is called a tire. The reason why my car runs smoothly and saves effort is largely because of this tire."

"Tires? Is this something hard to come by?"

Meng Yi asked with some doubts, and Zhao Che said that he could not produce such a specification for the time being, probably because of this tire.
