v2 Chapter 60: Tire (1/2)
“Don't be shortened to one day in two days?” Pompeii said, and then immediately shook his head. ”How is that possible? If you say that it will be shortened to one and a half days, then I will let my hands rush and buy more horses. Maybe it is possible. But shorten it to one day... unless there is a connection to Bangta City. And the road to Anvilmar City.”
”Do not think about this for the time being.” Xu also shook his head. ”The two roads we are building now are only an experiment made by His Majesty the King. Only after the completion of these two roads, His Majesty’s Majesty feels that the effect is good, and the road construction will be carried out throughout the Kingdom. As for the construction of a connected Bangta City and The road to Anweimar City, then I don’t know when to wait.”
President Pompeii nodded stunnedly: ”Yes. If all the places in the Kingdom of Lampari are connected by roads, then our car business will be much better.”
”This is the second time I heard someone feel so emotional today.” Xu also smiled. ”Do not worry, as long as more and more people will come to the convenience of the road, then I believe that all the roads in the Kingdom of Lampari will soon become flat roads.”
”I also believe that the question is how long it will take? I can't wait for so long now.” President Pompeii sighed and looked at Xu Yi: ”Mr. Xu, you said that we should not improve from our own improvement.” Highway?”
”Yes, what I am talking about is a more realistic thing, that is, the carriage itself used by your car and horse.” Xu Yidao.
”Carriage?” President Pombay thought for a moment and frowned. ”Is there any improvement in the carriage? It seems that there is no way to change the horse. The problem is that the price of the horse is higher. The feed is expensive, I can't afford it.”
”Although the horse can actually be replaced by something else. But it will not work for the time being. I am looking for you this time and I am talking about the problem of the car.”
”Car?” President Pompeii wondered. ”Where can the car improve?”
”Of course.” Xu was very sure to nod. ”I saw the Salank Chamber of Commerce team on the road just now. Then I observed that the carriages used by their teams are all wooden.”
”Of course, the carriages of our cars, whether they are transported or shipped, are all all-wood. What is the problem?”
”Don't you think that... the carriage made of wood is very useless, is it easy to break?” Xu asked.
”I am sure of this. Of course, I can't always use iron. I have tried to build a carriage with iron. The problem is that the carriage made of iron is not only heavy, the two horses are not moving, and the cost is too high. The last time I tried to build a carriage that can seat four people, it took me to get close to two hundred gold coins! How do you think this cost can be affordable? You must know what we are using now. The carriage. The overall cost is less than twenty gold coins.”
Xu also couldn't help but laugh, the carriage made of iron. It’s true that this Pompeii president wants to come up.
”I didn't say that all of them were made of iron, of course not. I mean, for a carriage, the wear is the most serious and the most vulnerable. It is not the body, but the wheels and rollers are not. ?”
”Yes, it is.” Pompeii nodded. ”But I also tried. If you use iron rollers and wheels, the weight will still be much larger, and it is actually more deformable than wood. Plus the cost is several times that of wooden wheels. So I finally gave up. ”
“How many times is the cost of wooden wheels?” Xu is a bit strange. ”It's not right, it seems to me. Iron should be cheaper. Is the right wood that can be used to build wheels and rollers much more expensive than iron?”
”Hui Huichang, this is what you don't understand. Although the iron material is much cheaper than wood, but the same wheel and roller, the blacksmith's wages are much more expensive than the carpenter. If it is counted, it is iron. The wheel is expensive several times.” President Pompeii reluctantly replied.
”Snapped--”
Xu also suddenly slammed and smirked, ”This is this!”
President Pompeii inexplicably glared at Xu Yi: ”What do you mean by this?”
Xu Yizhen smiled: ”President Pompeii, if I tell you, I can sell you a set of iron rollers and wheels at a cheaper price than wooden rollers and wheels. Are you interested? ?”
”Are you kidding?” President Pompeii grinned. ”How could iron be more convenient...” He suddenly stopped his mouth and stared at Xu Yi. ”Right, your new flyer will not do this! I am stupid, I have forgotten this! Xu Huichang, can you really provide cheaper iron rollers and wheels?”
”Of course, I can add another better thing, called a tire.” Xu also replied with a smile.

When I left the Philippine car, I was already close to the night, and when Xu returned home, the night had already come.
Just entering the door, I saw a shadow flashing in front of me, and Janice appeared in front of her.
”President, you are finally back!” Yanis excitedly snorted and pulled Xu's hand and glared at him toward the door.
