Bringing System to Great Tang

Chapter 1111: Pure profiteering from train operations

"How is the train good? It's worth spending 10 million yuan?" Li Tan was young, but he was willing to find out.

"The nose I made went from Chang'an to Luoyang. It was specially loaded, and it didn't stop midway. It arrived at the place in six hours..."

Li Yi introduced to Li Tan how good the train is.

He told Li Tan that a train had twelve carriages, and one carriage contained 150 shi of goods.

One run, one thousand eight hundred stones, six hours.

It took a few hours to load goods from Luoyang, and another six hours to run back to Chang'an.

No, the empty carriage is loaded first, and the front of the carriage is changed directly, and then it turns around and then comes back. It needs to be replenished with coal and water.

According to the current coal prices and water costs, as well as maintenance costs and labor costs.

If you run once, less than two times, the loading and unloading will be calculated separately.

At that time, Li Yi's trains were more economical, with advanced equipment, low cost, and much better than steam engines.

Transport 100 tons of goods, depending on what kind of goods, the price of different goods varies from a few cents to a few cents per kilometer.

Running 100 kilometers normally costs more than 300 yuan.

It includes profits and various expenses, depreciation expenses, infrastructure expenses, etc.

The car built by Li Yi has its own weight after being fully loaded, which is about 200 tons.

Labor and coal are cheap, and the approximate cost after conversion is two trips per trip.

His one yuan at that time is not equal to the current one. People in the Datang Jingzhao Mansion can earn 30 yuan a day and belong to the high-income group.

One thousand eight hundred shi, plus loading and unloading fees, from Chang'an to Luoyang, an increase of three hundred dollars?

One hundred and twenty catties per stone, one sack, and one thousand eight hundred sacks for loading a car with one hundred and fifty dollars? How many things do porters carry in a day? How much money do you make?

Li Tan opened his mouth slightly when he heard that, he couldn't believe that two yuan of money would be able to deliver something worth 1,800 shi to the place in six hours.

"How much does it cost for one thousand eight hundred shi to use a horse-drawn carriage?" Li Tan didn't know the freight price.

"From Chang'an to Luoyang, the horse-drawn carriage walked along the road, single horse-drawn and five stones, which contained its own fodder and water.

If it is too heavy, the carriage of Ba Shi needs to be strong enough.

It takes four days to walk, rest in between.

Two horses and five stones, two days' journey, rest in between.

At present, two horses are used to transport military supplies from Luoyang to Chang'an. There is an inn for horses to be exchanged when they arrive there in one day. "

Li Longji knew the situation. Two horse-drawn and five-stone things were replaced at the inn and transported to Chang'an one day and one night.

It’s not a ten-mile change, there is a race track, it’s easy to run, and it’s changed once every twenty or thirty miles.

Ordinary people can’t afford to change it. The horses they change belong to leased horses. Otherwise, how can they change their horses?

If the horse runs slowly, there is a fast car behind, and the slow car needs to give way to the nearest place on the road.

There is one place every 100 zhang, wait for the express train to pass and come back.

Or don't take the gallop, walk on the side road.

Li Tan did a little calculation and immediately understood how powerful the train was.

"Two yuan and three hundred dollars, the merchant can transport 1,800 shi, the merchant will be happy and crazy?" Li Tan felt that the merchant's life was better.

"We will cry madly. Two yuan and three hundred dollars are the cost of our delivery of things, not to the merchants.

Railway is not money? The train is not money? From Chang'an to Luoyang, there are three stops in between.

One is to facilitate the locals to bring goods and rides, and the other is to add coal and water, so you can't run for eight hundred miles all at once.

Two hundred li at a time, coal and water are almost consumed, so you can't bring more, and more will take up your own weight.

In this way, you can hang a few more passenger carriages and buy tickets for the bus, just like a bus in the city. "

Li Yi shook his head, and the two gangs ran a column. What's the joke?

Why is there a fee of fifty yuan for a trip, and if it is too expensive, it is transported by a horse and cart, and the ride does not charge any money.

How much does it cost to send 1,800 shi from Luoyang to Chang'an in a carriage?

Yes, there are boats. When the Yellow River is not in the dry season and is frozen, the boats are used to transport them slowly.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, all the way upstream.

Bargaining with the boat people, when it comes to forty-nine, it’s cheaper.

Thinking of water transportation, Li Yi mumbled: "How much does it cost to transport two thousand stones from Luoyang to Chang'an?"

Princess Yongmu said: "I know that sixty-year-olds need trackers, sails, and oars.

Go back cheap, go smoothly, just give a twenty one. "

"That's so expensive?" Li Yi counted, 60,000 bucks shipped 2,000 shi, and one stone increased by 30 bucks.

Li Dan inserted at this moment: "The freight is cheap. Why did the former emperor go to Luoyang for dinner? It sounds good to be called Xing Luoyang. In fact, I can't eat anymore."

"Then our train goes from Luoyang to Chang'an at 70, and from Chang'an to Luoyang at 25. This will give shipping a way to survive."

Li Yi adjusted the price again, earning 90 yuan once and then, running three times in two days, and 130 yuan a day.

With the addition of passenger transportation, one can earn 50,000 yuan a year, each locomotive.

The railway was repaired to Lianyungang and the sea was connected. One hundred locomotives cost five million yuan a year and pay back the cost in two years.

Li Yi calculated that he calculated that the load is full and there are goods at any time.

The actual situation is not possible. Will there be so many goods shipped from Chang'an back to Luoyang or to Haizhou? Are there so many people riding?

It is impossible to transport goods worth 540,000 shi from Luoyang to Chang'an every two days. What is the key? stone?

If transporting coal and iron is a transport for the court, and collecting a seventy-seven string with Bi Gou once, Bi Gou won't give it, right? He didn't give it to Qilu.

Li Yi checked the information and found the first railway, saying that it was 160,000 passengers a year at that time, which was only 30 miles away.

Half-round money in the upper seat, which is five hundred wen, two hundred and fifty wen in the middle seat, and 120 wen in the lower seat.

Calculating how much passenger transportation earned in a year, the investment at that time was only more than 200,000 taels of silver.

Then the Qing government couldn't do it well, and suffered a loss. If you do this, you will be able to repay your costs within a few years.

To make trouble, the government came forward and finally spent less than 290,000 taels of silver to buy it back.

After the purchase, the Qing government stopped operating and demolished it.

"Oh!" Li Yi sighed suddenly, really don't know what to say.

"What's wrong with Li Lang?" Princess Yong Mu quickly asked when seeing Li Yi's expression of grief and anger.

"It's okay, I think of a story, a very sad story. I first built a steam engine to build a boat, and asked Habayashi Feichi to help build the rails.

Let's act together~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Fortunately, there is the Yellow River, otherwise the steam engine will be unlucky, and the scattered and overall are inconvenient.

Let the warship come and refit it directly. Even if it is towed all the way back, it is better than sending it to refit. I can't go there. "

Li Yi threw the Qing government out of his mind. He didn't want to know that there would be no more Qing government.

He has to speed up building things and concentrate his efforts. Only when the railway is laid out and the train is opened one day earlier, can he make more money to continue to build the railway.

It will never happen if it is not repaired. If it is repaired, it will be repaired a thousand or eight hundred miles a year, and the railway will be repaired to an important position in a few years.

With the improvement of technology, he came up with a better steam engine.

Repair one along the canal and turn to Guangzhou. It is cheaper for people to ride, and mobility and material transportation should be strengthened.

Anyway, iron mines, copper mines, and coal mines are taken out by themselves and belong to the state. There is no external pressure and there is no need to exchange foreign currency.
