North of Anriburg, on the road leading to Cape Duchy, a carriage with the flag of the Holy See of the Red Moon was slowly driving on it.
Sitting in the car was the red-clothed archbishop of Panda of the Red Moon Holy See, Lucifer. The 53-year-old Luceli pulled the curtains of the carriage and looked at the strange scenery outside the window.
Since entering the Duchy of Dehebas, Luceria was curious about the things in the entire Duchy.
I remember the last time I came to the Duchy of Dehebas, I was summoned by Norman in An Rui and sent to the Emerald Forest in the south half a month ago.
How long has it been since then, there has been such a big change.
The two-way 4-lane black road is both flat and hard, and the speed of the carriage has also been greatly improved.
However, on the road on the border of the Duchy of Dehebas, there were soldiers in the territory who were fully armed, armed with halberds and swords, and set up a gate on the road.
Once an out-of-bounds vehicle enters, these soldiers will immediately stop it.
Luceli was not only surprised, but thought: "What is An Rui planning to do?"
Who knew that those soldiers told the coachman of Luceria that the Duchy of Dehebas had imposed traffic regulations, so vehicles from other places had to obey the traffic regulations in the territory.
On the side of the border gate, there are also many coachmen in the Duchy of Dehebas.
They have a carriage licence, just hire them and your carriage will get a temporary licence to drive itself in the Duchy of Dehbas.
Of course, you can also get off the bus and transfer to the large carriages of other coachmen in the larger Duchy of Dehebas, which is the newly formed bus carriage team of the Duke.
The Holy See's car, Luceria, was not replaced by spontaneous combustion. Instead, he chose to hire a coachman from the Duchy of Dehebas to drive it on his behalf, and by the way, he obtained a temporary license.
Originally, Luceria would have thought that it would cost a lot of money, but after a set, even those stingy traveling merchants can completely accept it happily.
Luceli noticed that in the parking lot on the side of the border gate, the tires of many carriages were very strange.
They seemed to be a lot bigger, and they were all black, with many lines on them, and they looked uneven, much larger than the normal-sized wagon wheels outside the Duchy of De Hebas.
As the hired local driver boarded the carriage with the license plate, Luceria asked, "I noticed that some carriages seem to have different wheels."
Since what Luceli passed on was not the teaching uniform of the red-clothed archbishop, the coachman did not recognize who the old man was.
Seeing that it was a foreigner, he immediately became proud: "Oh, that, after the war, merchants from China shipped a lot of carriage tires from Friendship Pass to Anribao to sell.
It is said that that kind of tire is called rubber, and the carriage is equipped with it, not only does it move faster, but also the anti-bump effect is much better.
A tire of this kind is about 200 soft, and a set is as little as 400 soft, and as many as 800 soft. "
Luceli is not very clear about the currency called "soft" in the words of the chauffeur, and does not know how it is exchanged with the currency of the empire.
Luceria asked, "Is it expensive?"
The driver nodded: "It's a little bit, but if you get an errand with the Huaxia people or the Duke, it will be a month or two's reward."
Lucelli nodded. For commoners, a month's remuneration is a bit expensive, roughly equivalent to 10 imperial coins of the empire, right
"It's a little expensive."
Immediately afterwards, the driver said: "If it is converted into imperial currency, it is almost half a standard bag."
"Um?"
Lucelli was stunned, two tires worth 400 soft is equivalent to half a bag of imperial coins
Soft coins are so valuable
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the chauffeur with a strange expression, or did An Rui become rich now? Doing charity
If 2 tires are half a bag of Empire coins, wouldn't those big wagons with 4 tires be worth at least a bag of Empire coins
Looking at Luceli's eyes, the driver suddenly realized, and he quickly introduced: "Guest, you have just come to the Duchy of Dehebas recently. Those large two-horse carriages are called 'buses', and they run specifically at this gate. Route to Andreburg.
The full name is the public transport carriage. It is the carriage of the Dehebas bus company managed by the Duke alone. It is said that there are 50 buses running to Anribao from this gate alone.
Only need 2 soft purchase tickets, you can take them down to Anriburg. "
Lucelli squinted his eyes. Sure enough, An Rui is rich now. 50 cars equals 200 tires, which is 50 bags of imperial coins. Did An Rui rob the imperial treasury

Lucelli couldn't help but smile, and was very amused and puzzled by his friend who had traveled from that place called Earth, and whispered, "Huaxia, that's your motherland, I really want to go there and have a look. "
From the northern gate to Anruibao, it takes about 40 kilometers for the carriage to travel for 2 hours.
For Luceria, who was used to riding a horse-drawn carriage on a dirt road, the dark road leading to Fort Anri was a pleasant surprise to Luceria.
Flat, steady, and fast, this is the highest compliment Lucelli has for this road.
On both sides of the road, there are many local people waving hoes and shovels, planting trees one by one into the pits.
When entering Anribao, the traffic police also checked the car for a while, and after confirming the identity of the driver and the temporary license plate, they released it.
The old town of Anribao is still the same, not much has changed.
The old houses are still old houses, but some old houses have been demolished, and the middle has become a large and wide black road.
Two-way 4-lane, which is standard for Anqi Highway.
It's just that on such a wide road, except for some carriages driving on both sides of the road, most of the residents of Anriburg are.
On the road, it's hard to see the electric cargo pickup truck coming from the south of the Huaxia Outer Great Wall.
Luceria couldn't help asking: "Is Duke Dehebas rich now? How many wide roads are built? It seems that there are not many carriages in sight."
The driver was also puzzled: "That's right, there are few horses and carriages, but the Dehebas Road Traffic Law stipulates that horses and carriages can only travel in the outer lane, which is the lane on the right.
The inner lane on the left should be reserved for cars with 4 wheels. "
"car?"
The driver nodded: "It's a Chinese thing, a steel beast that doesn't need magic or meat, it seems that if you eat electricity, you can walk as fast as you can, and the speed is several times that of a carriage.
But Anriburg rarely sees four-wheeled steel cars other than residents and carriages.
God knows why the duke wants to build such a wide road, maybe it is decided by what these big people see and what small people like me see differently. "
In the past, the widest road in Anribao was only about 6 meters wide, a gravel road paved with paving stones.
But with the end of China's self-defense counterattack, Anribao also began to develop.
All the main roads were changed to cement roads, and the Anqi roads were all asphalt roads.
Of course, the houses on both sides of the road were also demolished, and the Duke also gave a lot of compensation. In the newly built new district outside the city, each demolition household was assigned to a 2- or 3-story townhouse. Room type.
Compared with the old house that was demolished, the new house has a large area, a good community environment, and there is running water. The demolition households are very grateful to the Duke.
Of course, there are also daring people who don't want to divide the house. They used the Duke to compensate for 1,000 softness, and they started their own business from scratch.
The driver said, "Whenever we can be demolished, it's good. It seems to be taking my wife and daughter to live in a new urban area outside the city."
Luceli asked curiously, "How old is your daughter?"
When it comes to her daughter, the driver's face is full of pride: "I'm 7 years old, and I'm currently studying elementary school in the school run by the Duke.
Ah oh uh, huh huh, it's very beautiful, when I come back from school, I still ask me to read with my child's mother from time to time. "
"Ah uh, huh huh
what is that? "
The driver said proudly: "Hum, guest, this is Chinese, the language spoken by the Chinese, the characters used, and now all the primary school students in the Duchy of Dehebas are learning this."
Luceria nodded, imitating the culture of the lord, there is nothing wrong in this world.
An Rui is a Chinese, and it is normal to follow the Chinese culture.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
At this time, a traffic policeman at the intersection ahead shook the bell, and another traffic policeman raised a red flag and whistled to remind the carriage ahead to pay attention to the situation.
"Shut up!"
The driver let out a long cry, and the horse stopped immediately.
Luceria stuck his head out of the carriage, looked forward, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The chauffeur turned around and smiled: "The characteristics of the Duchy of Dehebas, the traffic law stipulates that the green flag will go, and the red flag will stop.
Right now, it's the end of school. "
On the sidewalk, a group of elementary school students wearing yellow safety helmets, carrying small schoolbags, and jumping around holding hands, crossed the crosswalk line under the leadership of Teacher Huaxia holding a small red flag.
Many children also bowed to the coachman who was waiting for them at the intersection and the traffic policeman who directed the carriage for them.
The driver pursed his lips proudly and introduced, "Well, my daughters are just like their elementary school students.
How is it? It's cute, isn't it? "
Lucifer rubbed his chin beard, looked at the group of novel students in uniform, and murmured, "Are these elementary school students?"
