These ten school buses cost a huge price. Each carriage plus two horses, investing more than 10,000 yuan. Each coachman has a monthly expense of three stones of food, which is more than 100 yuan. If it is just used to pick up and drop off students, it is really a huge waste. Therefore, these cars can be open to the public during the day. According to Chen Xu's calculations, it will not be said how much profit is made in a month, but at least it is guaranteed that the expenses of these coachmen and horses and the maintenance costs of the carriage are not too big.

In addition, the carriage construction and repair shop prepared outside the city is working overtime to build buses, and it will take at least seven or eight days to provide the next batch of ten cars. During this period, the income and expenses can be calculated through the external operation of school buses and various situations encountered in the operation, providing enough experience for the operation of a large number of buses by bus companies at one time, and rectification can be carried out in some areas where planning is not in place.

The ancients believed in gods, ghosts and gods and various celestial phenomena, so the pattern of Xianyang City was built according to the stars and astrological signs in the sky. Each palace has its own location and its shape is consistent with the astrological signs in the sky.

Xianyang Palace, which is the location of the imperial palace, is the central palace, which is the location of Ziweixing. The place where the emperor usually governs is also called Zichen Hall.

The Wei River passes south because of Star Han, which corresponds to the Milky Way in the sky, firmly isolating Xianyang City on the north bank of the Wei River. Although the terrain seems safe, it is actually not good for travel, because the Central Plains are on the other side of the river, and almost everything has to cross the river, which is very inconvenient. This is also the reason why the Han Dynasty moved the capital to the other side to build a new Chang'an City after the collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

Xianyang is now overcrowded, and Xianyang City is almost unable to be installed. More and more people can only live on the other side of the river. They work and do business and business every day and travel between the two banks of the Wei River. Therefore, once the bus is opened, the most convenient thing should be the groups who travel between the two banks every day. However, it is necessary to wait until the Wei River cement bridge is repaired before it can be opened.

"All buses, one bus, from the north gate to the south gate, you can take it with you a ounce, it is easy and fast,..."

"Road 2nd Road, from the east gate to the west gate, one qian half a journey, two qian the whole journey..."

"The third bus is opened, and today's experience, you can take eight stops for just one yuan..."

As ten school buses set off, soon there were employees of bus companies sitting on carriages and opening the doors and shouting loudly, just like the buses in small counties in later generations, the atmosphere was quite warm.

The private routes of the ten school buses are not routes to pick up and drop off students, but run according to the first ten routes planned by the bus company. They pass through areas with dense crowds of people, with a short seven or eight stops, and a long twenty stops from Dongmen to Ximenzu.

Many people in Xianyang have seen these strange four-wheeled carriages in the morning. At this time, they saw people from the bus company shouting loudly. Many people were curious and went up to ask and learned that the spacious and huge carriage was used to carry passengers. They could be at least seven or eight miles a day when they got on the bus, and they passed by a bustling and prosperous place.

"You can really get to the South Gate with just one penny?" A middle-aged man with good clothes asked in surprise.

"What are you doing? The bus is specially used by Qinghehou to facilitate people's commuting. It is not for making money, but for everyone to travel. Just get up and arrive at the south gate in half an hour..." A man wearing a uniform uniform of a bus company said in the exclusive seat next to the coachman.

"Half an hour? It's indeed much faster than walking, I'll believe you!" The middle-aged man climbed into the car, took out a penny and handed it to the man. However, the man pointed to a small hole in a closed and locked wooden box next to the car door and said, "Just put the coins into the money box!"

"Uh, this way of collecting money is fresh!" Although the middle-aged man was surprised, he obeyed the will and threw a copper coin in his hand into the hole. There was a click inside, and it was obvious that the money box was still empty!

"Please find a seat after you apply for coins and don't move around!" The man reminded him and began to greet a group of curious people around the platform.

"I'm not at the south gate, and it's a little expensive to sit at three miles per ounce, but the weather is hot, so I'll go up and experience it!" A scholar who was obviously literate and well-dressed also climbed into the car. Under the guidance of the man, he threw a copper coin into the coin box. He quickly found a seat by the window to sit down. A wooden sign was nailed to his head, which said that spitting was prohibited in the car.

"Clean and comfortable, it seems worth the money!" The scribe was amazed while looking at the decorations in the car.

At the man's shout, there were four people coming up to the platform, and they were basically curious about it. Seeing that the others had no intention of taking the bus, they ordered the coachman to set off. The burly coachman whipped the whip and the carriage quickly started and left the street.

"Not bad, this car is not only spacious, but also drives smoothly and quickly!"

"So amazing, it turned like walking on flat ground, without lag at all!"

The four first batch of bus experiencers were very excited. Looking at the street scenes and crowds passing by outside the window, they couldn't help but talk loudly.

"Tsk, this is naturally. This car was invented and made by Qinghehou!" The man from the bus company replied proudly.

"No wonder, but I dare to ask you, what kind of government office is your bus company?"

"Yes, one person is a money, I'm afraid you can't even earn money for horse feed for a day!"

"This car can turn flexibly, I'm afraid the two-wheeled carriage will be eliminated in the future!"

The bus was moving forward, and the people who got on the bus asked questions all the time. The man in the bus company also briefly introduced the bus company and avoided talking about whether to make money or not, or to facilitate people's travel, naturally no one doubted it. After all, this car was very expensive at first glance. For such a big car, it also required two horses and a groom and a manager who was responsible for the passengers. The daily expenses must be quite large. In the eyes of ordinary people, one yuan per money would definitely not make money.

"Yu~" A few minutes later, the carriage stopped at the next platform. The man from the bus company opened the car door and started shouting and promoting it. Then two more people came up and went to the next stop.

The car was more than ten miles away from the north gate to the south gate. There were ten bus stops along the way in bustling areas. The men on the car shouted all the way, and people kept getting on and off. There were even too many people coming from several lively stations and could only stand in the car. Fortunately, there were wooden crossbars and handrails in the middle of the carriage. In addition, the number of people carrying people tested was used to ride as much as possible, and it was also to test the maximum passenger capacity of the four-wheeled carriage to collect more data.

In less than an hour, the carriage stopped at the last bus stop sign near the South Gate, and all the people on the bus got off. This was the first public transportation experience journey in human history that officially ended.

"It's not bad, it's worth the money!" The first middle-aged man who got on the bus was very happy and praised him after getting off the bus.

It costs more than ten miles per money, which is unpaid for the poor. They would rather walk for an hour, but for rich people, time and comfort are far more important than money. The bus is very stable, and you can also hear many passengers traveling from north to south and talk about various interesting topics. It is really a very happy journey.

"Everyone walk slowly, welcome to take the bus next time!"

Amid the man's greeting, a group of people scattered, so the man began to shout loudly again: "All the buses, all the buses, from the south gate to the north gate, are convenient and fast, only one penny..."

The South Gate is a gathering place for merchants and the most prosperous place in Xianyang. This bus stop has been here for several days. People ask questions every day, but they don’t know what the bus is. Therefore, with the man’s shouting, a large group of people immediately gathered around to ask. With the explanations of the group of people who had just got off the bus, more than ten people got on the bus soon, and many people were curious to experience the mystery of this bus.

"Enough is enough, you can't get in again!" The man saw that the car was already crowded with nearly twenty people, and was afraid of crushing the carriage. He quickly stopped the people behind and closed the car door. The carriage quickly set off and returned to the original route.

Ten school buses of the Women's College, which turned into buses, were trial run on ten routes. In just one hour, they completely ignited the enthusiasm of the people of Xianyang. There were all merchants, civilians, scholars and officials. Many people were not satisfied with the buses and swiped the bus back and forth. After two or three trips, they kept the stations on the route in a firm manner. Among these passengers, many outside reporters from newspapers excitedly began to plan press releases, and they also had a nimble mind and went straight to the office location of the bus company and the bus manufacturing and repair shop outside the city to inquire about the situation.

This lively situation was soon reported to the Zichen Hall of Xianyang Palace.

Chen Xu stayed at the Women's College for an hour in the morning, and then went to the newspaper office to let Chen Ping and others have some contact with Yang Kun, and prepared to advertise the bus company in detail in the next newspaper issue, and also publish the running route.

"Marty, a palace servant comes to report the order!" A manager in the newspaper office took a palace servant into the newspaper office's general affairs office to report.

"Marty Qinghe, Your Majesty, please attend the afternoon court meeting!" The palace maid respectfully handed a silk book to Chen Xu with both hands. Chen Xu opened it and guessed that it was because of the bus, so he put it away.

In the morning, Chen Xu took a bus to court. The civil and military officials of the court discussed the matters about bus companies and four-wheeled carriages. As expected, the first thing he did after he went to court was the emperor.

Chen Xu had already given a special report on the bus company a few days ago. The emperor had agreed, and Feng Quji also requested a reduction in taxes from the bus company. The Inner History Office also agreed to this proposal, but no one expected that Chen Xu would suddenly create such a big battle and cause such a big stir in Xianyang.

If the bus company only used ordinary carriages, perhaps civil and military officials and emperors would not have had such a big fight, but it was this super large and flexible four-wheeled carriage that suddenly made everyone feel excited.

On weekdays, there are only three or five people sitting on a two-wheeled carriage. This is because of the limitation of balance of the carriage. In addition to pulling the carriage, the weight on the carriage will be pressed on the horse's back through the shaft.
