Chapter 1489 Four-wheeled Vehicles and Driver's License

"No, I want to stay in the East for a longer time." Princess Sophia shook her head resolutely, rejecting Sir Greenville's proposal.

"But Your Royal Highness, you can't stay here forever..." Sir Greenville tried to persuade.

Little did he know, however, that civil war broke out shortly after he left Britain.Now Britain is divided into two camps, the king's army and the parliamentary army, and the princess may face danger when she returns.If Lord Greenville knew that there was a war in Britain, he would not have persuaded the princess to go back at this time.

"My brother sent you here to tell me to go back?" Princess Sofia asked.

"It's not... I came to the East to buy a batch of muskets and artillery..." Sir Greenville said.

"That's it. You're not busy completing your mission, distracted and nagging me about what to do." Princess Sophia said dissatisfiedly, "I'm finishing my studies. When I get my degree, I will Consider going back."

"Okay, okay, respect the meaning of Her Royal Highness." Mrs. Grace held her husband at this moment.

Sir Greenville shook his head helplessly, he probably couldn't persuade him anymore.

"Princess, have you overslept again?" Selina asked Princess Sofia in order to ease the atmosphere.

Princess Sophia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she was really hit by the words: "Didn't I hurry over here..."

"You came just in time. You came here not long after we left the house." Ella, Da Yuer and the others liked the princesses with true temperaments around them, and they were also used to the princesses doing things in their own way.

In fact, Princess Sophia occasionally made a fuss in the capital, but it did not cause any loss, rather it enlivened the atmosphere of the capital.

Sure enough, after the arrival of Princess Sophia, the group became even more lively.

"This kind of bicycle called Phoenix is ​​really easy to use. It is like walking on flat ground. The bicycle I used before was bumpy. What's even more strange is that the price of the bicycle has dropped." Princess Sofia kept talking.

Among the Europeans of this era, Princess Sofia is extremely interested in new things, and is more likely to accept these new things, and even bought two bicycles successively at a lot of money.One of the bikes she was comparing had solid tires and the other had pneumatic tires.Bikes with pneumatic tires were even more advanced, and she was amazed.

"Several years have passed since I brought the princess back from Western Ocean. The princess has been staying in our capital all the time. I don't know what she has in mind." Li Jinde and Chu Yun walked behind and said to Chu Yun.

At that time, he first appeared in the City of London, and was received by King Charles. Later, he also brought back an envoy composed of Princess Sophia, Sir Greenville, Selina and others to the mainland. As a result, this strange voyage changed the history.

"It might not be a good thing for her to stay in the capital temporarily." Chu Yun knew that war would break out in Britain, but hoped that Sophia would stay in the safe east for the time being and stay away from the war.

He didn't know whether the war would escalate after he changed the original British history. If Charles I was defeated and executed, leaving Princess Sophia in the East would save the blood of the British royal family, and it would be considered a compliment to Charles I for allowing him to live in Portsmouth. The garrison's return.

"Mr. Chu, I want to buy a four-wheeled car, but I'm short of some money. I wonder if you can ask them to sell it to me at a lower price?" Princess Sophia was chatting endlessly with the girls, Seeing Chu Yun, he came over and begged.

Chu Yun smiled slightly: "The people in the car factory also have to eat. It took them several years to manufacture a four-wheeled car that can barely travel long distances. If the price of the car can be lowered at any time, it will not be good for their labor results. That's respect."

"Ah, but the price of a four-wheeled car is too expensive compared to a bicycle. I can afford a bicycle, but I can't afford a four-wheeled car. A four-wheeled car looks very handsome. If there is a four-wheeled car that can travel in Beijing How majestic it would be to come and go freely!" Princess Sophia said excitedly.

Bicycles can already be produced in small batches, but four-wheeled vehicles are not. Some parts of the vehicles even need to be manually polished by workers. Producing a four-wheeled vehicle requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The cost of technology.Four-wheeled vehicles can indeed be sold to private individuals at present, but the price is quite expensive.

"Although I can't lower the price of a four-wheeled car, I can subsidize you to buy a four-wheeled car." Chu Yun said indifferently.

"Really...?!" Princess Sophia was overjoyed to see that Chu Yun generously subsidized her a four-wheeled car.

"A four-wheeled car is nothing, and it's a little reward for cooperating with your brother, the King of Britain." Chu Yun said.

"Of course it's true." In order to garrison troops in Britain and build a bridgehead in Europe, Chu Yun secretly bribed Charles I. The benefits he received were far higher than the price of a four-wheeled car, and he gave Princess Sophia another one. Four-wheeled vehicles to gain the favor of the royal family is also nothing.

But in the eyes of Princess Sofia, this is simply a dream: "I, I don't even know how to repay..."

"Sophia, you just need to stay in the capital so that we don't worry about it. By the way, if you want to drive a four-wheeled car yourself, you need to pass the examination of the car factory and obtain a certificate called a driver's license before you can drive. Otherwise, it will be like you It might not be such a simple matter of flying around like a dog, and it will kill people." Chu Yun thought of the management of four-wheeled vehicles.

Four-wheeled vehicles have been created, but at the same time, they are facing many troubles. They also need to provide basic measures for four-wheeled vehicles-better road surfaces, and corresponding management measures, that is, formulate traffic rules and implement driver's license management.At present, only the driver is assessed by the car manufacturer.Because only the engineers in the car factory who designed and built the car know how to operate and maintain the four-wheeled car.

"I'll try my best to get a driving certificate!" Princess Sofia couldn't wait to use the four-wheeled vehicle as a magical means of transportation.

Chu Yun led the crowd around the street, bought another stack of red paper, and prepared to write Spring Festival couplets himself.

However, Chu Yun's calligraphy was too bad, and he couldn't stick crooked characters on the pillars of the military lord's mansion, so he had to ask a few women to do it for him.

"I hope it will be a peaceful day..." The officers and soldiers outside are in charge of the battle, and Chu Yun is still silently farming technology in the mainland.
