Looking at the carriage in front of him, Yang Xuan couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.
This carriage was specially made for His Royal Highness Prince Chun to travel.
Yang Xuan put a lot of thought into this, and even drew drawings, and then the craftsmen produced such a beautiful carriage.
Of course, Yang Xuan's drawings are not professional drawings, after all, he has never studied them.
The previous carriages made of bamboo were ugly and weak.
Now these two problems have been solved, that is, the design of separating the carriage and chassis.
The drawing drawn by Yang Xuan is just a cube frame with two large wheels.
Just relying on the pictures drawn by his soul painter, the craftsmen were able to truly present them. How could he not be surprised?
In fact, the solution is not that complicated.
A frame is added to the site to form a cube, and the carriage is suspended in this frame.
Not only the bottom, but also the top and four corners are all made of shock-absorbing bamboo pieces.
Not only does it increase comfort, but it also becomes stronger. With this frame alone, even if the car overturns, the people in the car will not suffer much harm.
Not to mention that the center of gravity is at the bottom, making it basically difficult to roll over.
Yang Xuan personally tried the ride again and found that it was fast and stable. Compared with the carriage he usually rides, it was not even a bit improved.
It seems that the horse racing club that I once planned can be put on the agenda.
"Reward! Each person will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver."
In excitement, Yang Xuan waved his hand, and each of the more than ten people present was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Fang was shocked. Not to mention the craftsmen, even he had never received such a generous reward.
"You deserve this. In my case, as long as you do well, you will be rewarded. Others look down on craftsmen, but I believe that craftsmen are the basis for the progress of our lives, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Shopkeeper Fang was moved to tears. Although His Royal Highness King Chun treated him well, in addition to his slave status, he also made him the shopkeeper. Now he has a family and a career, and his life is going well.
But Yang Xuan gave him respect from the bottom of his heart.
Of course there is money.
One thousand taels of silver, every one of the craftsmen here, even if they don't eat or drink, will never earn so much silver in their lifetime.
"You guys still don't thank me."
Under the leadership of shopkeeper Fang, all the craftsmen stood up and bowed, saying thank you to Mr. Yang for his kindness.
Although Yang Xuan was not used to it, he still accepted their courtesy. If he insisted on not being polite, the craftsmen might feel uneasy.
Besides, this makes it easier to manage employees. With such ready-made conditions, why bother breaking the rules?
Although he also understood that even if he was rewarded with a hundred taels, let alone a thousand taels, these craftsmen would still be grateful, but that would not achieve the effect he wanted.
During Shang Yang's reform, as long as he carried a three-foot-high log from the south gate to the north gate, he would be rewarded fifty gold. Yang Xuan's purpose was the same, which was to set an example and encourage more people to delve into research and development.
"Manager Fang, I will give you another task."
"Sir, please speak." Shopkeeper Fang's attitude became more and more respectful.
"Just based on this model, we will produce several models suitable for the market. I will update the entire Yingtianfu carriage."
"Respect the life of the deceased."
Yang Xuan patted the manager of the house on the shoulder and said: "I took this carriage away today. You can quickly make another one for me. It needs to be the most luxurious. Remember, it must have the kind of carriage that makes people look at it."
A bright feeling.”
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely try my best."
Yang Xuan sat on the suspended carriage and left with satisfaction.
He wanted to go to Lu Feng to show off and give him the carriage by the way.
Although the day of departure is still very early, the fact that he usually rides on the road in this carriage is also a kind of publicity.
When His Royal Highness King Chun saw this carriage, he couldn't help but marveled and walked around the carriage twice.
"Stop looking, get in the car and experience what speed and passion is."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun boarded the carriage with joy and expectation.
The car is quite spacious, not smaller than the cars of later generations, and it is no problem to lie flat. It can accommodate four people, not to mention two people.
"drive."
Following the coachman's shouts, the carriage began to move slowly.
You must not run wildly in the city, otherwise the people who stop you will not be ordinary police officers, but the regular troops of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
After leaving the city, we took the official road. Although it looked flat, it was a dirt road after all.
But when the coachman drove the carriage at high speed, the feeling was still extremely enjoyable.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun held the armrest of the car with an excited look on his face.
Although this speed is not as fast as a fast horse, it is comfortable to sit in. What kind of carriage dares to run so fast, I am afraid that everyone will be bumped in the carriage and their heads will bleed.
Occasionally, there were pedestrians passing by on the official road. Seeing the carriage running so fast, they thought the horse was frightened and yelled behind it.
I raced all the way to the Qinhuai River, then ran along the ten-mile long embankment, and finally returned happily.
"With this carriage, my journey will be much easier, and the distance will be reduced by more than half."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun bowed his hands and said, "Thank you very much, sir. You are the only one who has put so much thought into me, so I am deeply grateful."
"Don't be so excited. I'm doing it for business. This model will be put into production after the year. By then, I want the entire Yingtian Prefecture to be equipped with this kind of carriage we produce."
Prince Chun was suffocated. Well, it was still that familiar feeling.
"By the way, during this period, if you have nothing to do, you can take a stroll on the streets in a carriage, so that you can contribute to the promotion of our new models."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun has a look of despair. This guy can kill you with a basin of cold water when you are excited.
Coincidentally, the third day of the first lunar month is the day when the royal family worships heaven and earth and worships the ancestral temple.
The royal ancestral temple is located on Zushan in the north outside the city, forty or fifty miles away from Yingtian Mansion, so the carriage of His Royal Highness Prince Chun became the most eye-catching presence along the way.
Many members of the royal family sent people to inquire about the origin of His Royal Highness Prince Chun's carriage, and also wanted to customize one.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun kept in mind the promotion mentioned by Yang Xuan. Whenever someone came to ask, he would explain it in detail. If a member of the royal family came to ask in person, he would also invite the person to get on the bus and experience it.
After experiencing it, all those who felt it were filled with admiration.
Later, even His Majesty the Emperor sent people to inquire.
The person who came was none other than the eunuch beside His Majesty the Emperor. Even His Majesty the Emperor called him Wang Daban’s prince and father-in-law.
When it comes to who is the closest person to the emperor, Wang Daban is definitely among the best.
There are many rules in the royal family. Not to mention a prince like His Royal Highness Prince Chun who has already opened a palace, even the queen and concubines do not spend as much time with His Majesty as the king does.
It can even be said that Wang Daban is the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor. Whenever you see Wang Daban, His Majesty the Emperor is probably not far away.
"This old slave has met His Royal Highness Prince Chun."
"Your Majesty, you are polite." His Royal Highness Prince Chun bowed his hands in salute: "I wonder if your Majesty has come here with a holy intention?"
"His Royal Highness King Chun made a good guess. The Za family has received the holy order to ask His Highness King Chun a question."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun quickly got out of the car and stood in awe.
"His Majesty the Emperor asked me to ask His Highness Prince Chun why he is so obsessed with pleasure at such a young age."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was stunned. He never expected that just a carriage would be questioned by His Majesty the Emperor.
