The Yellow River Bridge, a grand project, is indeed built, but it is impossible.

The news released by Yuwen Wen in the Political Affairs Hall will soon spread throughout Chang'an City and then spread throughout the world. Countless people who "hold money and wait and see" will be itchy by the good news he released. They will wait for the official establishment of the General Administration of Steamship Investment and Investment to open the stock market, and there is no need to worry about no one coming to support them.

But the most important point is that mining coal is equivalent to having a money tree, which will be accepted by more and more people.

For big families, big businesses and big expenses, it is okay to rely on the output of the manor to be self-sufficient, but it is not enough to support mutual comparison and fight for wealth, and talk about pomp, because the rules for fighting for wealth are changing now.

The basic threshold for fighting wealth - heating, which costs real money to maintain. How much money can the crooked melons and jujubes planted in the field be sold?

Either you have a loan shark, but the low-interest loans placed by major cabinets make this method less exciting.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen has been planning for many years, so he has to force big investors to start an industry rather than collect land rent to maintain expenses. Now, once the idea that mining coal can make money is accepted by big investors, no one can stop the coal boss from appearing.

Therefore, Guanlong Group must add two words to become "Guanlong Coal Group".

Yuwen Wen thought so, looking at the sketch of the Yellow River Bridge in his hand, looking at the aspiring Yuwen Kai, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Yellow River Bridge? How can we build a technical capability?

Not to mention how to construct, even if we have to work hard to repair the Yellow River Bridge, what about?

With his poor knowledge, he could think that the piers of the Yellow River Bridge have to withstand the river water year-round erosion, and have to resist the freezing in winter, and have to withstand the impact of a large amount of floating ice in spring.

The reinforced concrete piers made of civilized cement and unknown steel strips may crack and collapse in just a few years, and the entire bridge will become a dangerous bridge.

So only the steamship ferry is the right way.

Yuwen Wen knew the correct answer, but he still wanted to carry out various publicity, with the purpose of letting everyone know that the demand for coal will only increase but not decrease in the future. For this reason, he felt that it was harmless to create a favorable atmosphere by making a few gimmicks.

The rumors he has released now, such as the Yellow River Bridge, will make people become rich when they start mining and count money in the future. Who cares whether the Yellow River Bridge is built or not?

Yuwen Wen had estimated the cost himself. In this era, the most cost-effective way to travel between the two sides of the Yellow River was of course to pull the pontoon bridge, but in order to make way for shipping, the pontoon bridge had to be demolished, so a steamer was used to ferry to meet the needs.

To use the demand for cross-river bridges, it can only be large-scale material transportation and personnel flow. This mode of transportation must be railways.

In the era without railways, it is meaningless to build the Yellow River Bridge. Even if a miracle really makes the Yellow River Bridge complete, then the annual fee charged by collecting the bridge fee may not be enough for the bridge maintenance fee.

So Yuwen Wen created the gimmick of "Yellow River Bridge" just to fool him, and he didn't take it seriously.

It was not enough to rely on the gimmick of the Yellow River Bridge. Seeing that everyone's heads were blank now, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

......

Outside the Political Affairs Hall, in the provincial courtyard of the Ministry of Public Affairs, there was a strange four-wheeler parked. There was no horse in front of the four-wheeler, and there was no place for the groom to sit. The rear half of the car was equipped with a small boiler, and the chimney of the boiler was smoke.

As long as you are not a fool, you will find that this car is obviously different from the common four-wheeled carriage. It has a round appearance and looks like a beetle with a bamboo stick on its back.

On the steps beside him, Yu Wen Wen held information in his hand and introduced the latest high-tech product - Steamed Cars to potential investors (Zhengshitang).

Steamed car "Beetle", steam power, dual-cylinder engine, front-mounted luggage, rear-mounted engine (steam boiler and cylinder), front-wheel steering, rear-wheel drive, leaf spring shock absorption, cooked iron wheel hub, Eucommia glue solid tire.

The glass-covered candle headlights, two-piece glass front gear, hand-crank wiper, and three-speed manual transmission are for the start gear, forward gear, and reverse gear.

There is a steam horn, foot valve, brake, sandalwood steering wheel, a leather steering wheel cover, a leather seat (two-seater), bearskin cushion, and an oil cloth ceiling that can be retracted.

The coal tank has a capacity of ten liters and is filled with powder-fired coal. It has an advanced automatic coal supply system to ensure that the boiler is full of vitality and allow the steamer to walk ten miles at a speed of four miles per hour.

The means of transportation in the new era are now making a brilliant debut.

The three high-ranking officials were holding information in their hands and looking at the four-wheeler, and could no longer use any words to describe their current mood.

Their first reaction when they saw this four-wheeler was that they thought that this thing could not move, but the emperor would not take out a car that could not move out to show it, so...

Will this thing explode?

Everyone now knows that boilers are dangerous to use, and steam engines are similar. Once something happens, they will easily explode. Then boiling boiling water and various debris fly everywhere. Now this four-wheeler is close to you, if it explodes...

When everyone saw Yu Wen Wen's calm appearance, they felt that he would not take out a vehicle that could easily explode and display it, so they felt a little relieved.

The busy technician surrounding the steaming car "Beetle" reported to Yuwen Wen that everything was ready. Yuwen Wen looked around and saw everyone looking expectant, so he nodded: "Okay, drive!"

A thin technician was the "driver", that is, the driver of the vehicle. He sat in the driver's seat and did not know what mechanism he had done, but he heard the roar at the back of the car become louder, and then the whole car began to tremble slightly.

Everyone's eyes were gathered on the car. I don't know how long it took, a "crack" sound came, and the wheels began to rotate slowly, and the steamed car actually drove forward slowly.

The steamer started moving and walked forward trembling. The officials present could really move when they saw this thing, one or two were stunned.

The driver struggled to turn the circular steering wheel, allowing the steamer to slowly turn to the right, and slowly turn around the yard in a clockwise direction.

There was no movement at the scene except for the sounds made by the steamed car. Almost everyone was captured by this magical "self-driven car", so that the information held in someone's hands did not even notice it.

Before the appearance of the steamship, at least human-powered vehicles (oilboats), so everyone can barely understand what the steamship is. Now, this is a steamed car that does not require human pushing or pulling animals, and only burning coal can leave...

This is amazing!

Many people are already imagining: In the future, the river will be in the steamer and the ground will be in the steamer. What a strange scene it would be!

These magical machinery have to burn coal, and it is true that mining coal has a great future...Money prospect!

The steaming car was displayed in a small area. At such an exciting moment, Yuwen Wen was sweating coldly on his back. He looked at the steaming car that was spinning around and couldn't help but feel sweaty.

After finally waiting for the car to turn three times, he stopped. He looked at the "middle-aged and elderly": "This is a steaming car, a steaming car that burns coal. Although it is not as fast as a child now, it will definitely be able to walk as fast as a toddler after learning to walk!"

"The practicality of steaming cars may take ten years, twenty years, or even longer, but it doesn't matter. Steamers have a practical day, and steaming cars will definitely do it!"

"So, the demand for coal will inevitably increase year by year in the future. Now there will be the General Administration of Steel and Vehicle Investment, and there will be the General Administration of Automobile Investment in the future!"

Yuwen Wen's generous speech made the Zaizhi very excited. It was the first time they had seen the magic of steam power when they lived so old. Looking at the information in their hands, they couldn't calm down for a long time.

The technicians next to him nodded when they saw the emperor nodded, hurried forward and pushed the steamer away.

That's right, it's pushing away, not driving away.

To make matters happen, the technician said that the boiler of the test vehicle is unstable. In order to avoid accidental injuries to the emperor and the slaughter, it is safer to leave the steamer and push it.

Of course Yuwen Wen knew the actual reason. He just sweated coldly. It was because there was something strange about it and he was afraid of an accident that was so.

Most of the technical parameters given by the data for steaming car "Beetle" are correct, but the speed and maximum mileage are wrong, and the conclusion is also false, because this thing can't move at all.

Simply put, it is the power provided by the on-board steam engine, which is a little short of driving the entire vehicle and the thin driver to move, so it needs to "take drugs" to fool people, just like the drug-taking steamship that Xia Chu publicly tried in Huangzhou.

This steam car is actually a hybrid power, and in addition to steam power, there is also clockwork power.

The special steel clockwork adds some power to the rear wheels of the four-wheeler, just so that the steamer can barely move, but the power cannot last for too long, about ten minutes.

The steamed car that was purely a scam was taken out by Yuwen Wen to deceive the officials of the Zhengshitang, so he felt guilty and sweated on his back when he watched the steamed car turn.

Now that the scam has been completed successfully, Yu Wen Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone holding information as if he was holding a treasure.

He tried his best to engage in false propaganda to create good news that "there is great coal mining". Now that these top bureaucrats have been successfully fooled by him, the next thing is much easier.

After the performance, Yuwen Wen looked at the steam car that was leaving the show and felt a little moved.

The Yellow River Bridge is impossible, it will never be built in this life. Large steam cranes cannot handle it, and steaming cars is even more unpredictable. However, it is just a fraudulent publicity to deceive investment. Only by relying on steamships to carry out shipping can you maintain your life like this.
Chapter completed!
