Chapter 33: Riding a Jade Ride
Zheng Xiaoming found the best horses and lords and made his debut.
Another problem with the original carriage is that the axle is prone to breaking.
The craftsmen under Zheng Xiaoming also solved this problem...even the simplest steel ball bearings were made.
The original lathe is not a difficult thing! As long as someone mentions it, there will definitely be a skilled craftsman.
What kind of skilled craftsman can’t find the following status of Yanghou?
With a crisp turning sound, the carriage drove by lightly.
Several noble children were dissatisfied and rode their horses to catch up with them. They wanted to compete with Zheng Xiaoming.
However, how could a horse compare to four? The two sides started to chase each other, but they were quickly thrown away.
Seeing Zheng Xiaoming riding in the carriage, he could only be stunned again.
In the Western Garden, the Emperor of Great Chu was soon informed: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xiayang is here in a carriage!"
The emperor's face soon became very strange: "This Xiayang Marquis..."
I don’t know if it’s okay to scold or say something. Why does this guy like to be innovative so much?
Forget it, don’t worry. Wait for a while and watch the boy’s martial arts performance. If you can’t stand it, you’ll deal with him then!
I was still thinking this way, but not long after, I heard Li Zhongxiao walking over with a strange look on his face: "Emperor, Hou Xiayang is asking for a meeting."
"What did this kid do when he sees me? He wants to plead with me? He won't see you!"
"The Emperor, the Queen of Xiayang said that she was here to give gifts to the Emperor. She said that the Great Master was a great master, and that the servant read less. What is this Great Master?
Put garlic!
Which one who serves by the emperor is not from an internal school? Each one is taught by a great scholar who is well-read in poetry and books and is full of talent.
It would be strange if Li Zhongxiao didn’t know what the big chariot jade is!
The emperor sneered: "Don't I have a big jade cart? I still want him to send it..."
Thinking of this, I thought in my mind. Maybe I didn’t have it.
Although according to the court etiquette, there must be things like Da Jia Yulu in the emperor's ceremonial guards.
But that thing is not easy to use!
Moreover, the Emperor of Great Chu rarely had the opportunity to leave the capital... Even if he left the palace, it was extremely difficult. He had no chance to take the Daqi Yulu.
This thing has been left in the treasury for dozens or hundreds of years, but it has already become decayed, right?
Of course, although I think so in my heart, the emperor's aura cannot lose.
Li Zhongxiao had to leave. After a moment, he walked back with a more bizarre expression: "The emperor, the marquis of Xiayang said he wanted to negotiate a business with the emperor. He said it was a business worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"
The emperor scoffed at me and just wanted to say that I am rich and the world, what business are you talking to me about?
But when I heard about the business of hundreds of thousands of taels, my mind changed my mind and said, "Haha, I want to see what business this Xiayang Hou is talking to me... Call him in!"
After a moment, Hou Xiayang walked in with a smile on his face: "Good, Emperor, I'm paying respects to the Emperor!"
The emperor looked serious and sneered: "If you don't practice martial arts well at home, what are you doing? Today's Suzhe Club, if you perform poorly, don't blame me for being rude. You will be fined for being in a three-year confinement!"
After all, I raised it high and let it go. Three years of confinement is really not a big punishment.
As the saying goes, once you enter the marquis' gate, it is as deep as the sea, and a marquis' mansion is as big as a large one, and everything is inside. If you are a little home, it is not strange that you will never leave the mansion in your life.
The Xiayang Hou was naturally not afraid and said with a smile: "I really have a business with the emperor. The main reason is that I am short of money recently. I want to do some business and make some money. I want to ask the emperor to help me. After the matter is completed, I will give the emperor 30% of the profit, at least 100,000 taels of silver..."
The emperor was originally going to scold him, "You guy is so funny, are you? Come and do business with the emperor, what do you think?"
But when Zheng Xiaoming gave him 100,000 taels of silver, he suddenly changed his sitting position unconsciously and said, "What business are you doing? How can you make so much money? You won't be deceived by someone, right?"
A hundred thousand taels of silver is really a lot. The emperor’s inner hiding income is only one hundred thousand ten thousand taels of silver per year. Life is so tight that one tenth of it can be added at once. It would be strange if he is not moved!
Zheng Xiaoming smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have recently read ancient books. I have found a way to restore the ancient big carriage jade carriage. According to the ancient big carriage jade carriage, I have made some carriages and wanted to sell them on the market..."
The emperor was a little moved when he heard this: "Really or not? Historical books record that even if a glass of water is placed on the car, it will not spill out even if it is placed in the car!"
However, the serious big-carrying jade has long been lost. Although the later big-carrying jade still called the big-carrying jade, it is actually an enlarged version, a luxury version of the two-wheeled carriage!
Zheng Xiaoming said with a serious look: "I have brought the Great Master Yulu, so the emperor can go and see it in person. If it is fake, the emperor just take my head.
But if it is true, please help me promote it..."
The emperor immediately understood what Zheng Xiaoming was thinking, and he was both funny and a little moved.
If someone else talked to him like this, even ten heads were cut off.
However, the emperor and Xunqin are in a relationship of mutual friendship, and they are intermarried and married for generations. Except for the empress and imperial concubines who cannot be selected from Xunqin's family... this is to prevent the harem from interfering in politics!
In short, the Emperor of Great Chu saw the Marquis of Xiayang as if he had seen a junior. This is different!
He thought for a while and said, "If your big jade is really so useful, I can help you promote it. It's just that you gave me 100,000 taels of silver, right?"
Zheng Xiaoming hurriedly said, "It's 30%, at least 100,000 taels. The more carriages are sold, the more we both earn!"
The emperor was displeased: "I am only 30%?"
Zheng Xiaoming said with a bitter face: "I have to find other people to join this business, and I can't even account for 30% of it myself."
OK! As soon as you say this, the emperor was embarrassed to continue discussing business with Zheng Xiaoming, so he just said, "Have you brought your big jade? Let me see!"
Zheng Xiaoming was overjoyed, the emperor agreed!
Now I ask the emperor to see the so-called Great Vehicle Jade.
Originally, the cart could not enter the West Garden, but as the emperor spoke, a carriage with a six-horse pulling cart was allowed to enter the West Garden.
It goes without saying that you can see the luxury of this carriage, the key is that this car is unexpectedly large.
After all, this is a four-wheeled carriage, not two-wheeled carriage, and the width and length of the car body have been greatly increased.
As the car body is large, it will naturally look more grand.
I waited to get in the car and tried it, and ran two laps in Xiyuan. It was indeed extremely stable. It almost reached the point where a glass of water would not spill out in the legend.
Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the roads in the Xiyuan Schoolyard are quite flat!
Chapter completed!
