Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 361
Chapter 63 The Charming Beauty

A large four-wheeled carriage moved slowly along the official road. Li Xiuning was actually not willing to ride in the carriage. She preferred to ride the horse and enjoy the feeling of the strong wind whistling past her ears.

However, this carriage was sent by Chen Ying.Li Xiuning didn't want to disappoint Chen Ying's kindness, and most importantly, Li Xiuning was also very satisfied with this carriage.This four-wheeled carriage has a length of three feet and six feet and a width of one foot and six feet. Even in later generations, vehicles of this size belong to the CMB class.In this day and age, it's even bigger.The three-foot-long carriage was divided into two parts in the middle, one side was used for resting, a soft couch was arranged, and there was a layer of drawers attached to the carriage wall, which could be used to store carry-on items. A table is arranged, which can be used for office or reception.

The key point is that this huge carriage needs five horses to pull it. Although it doesn't look luxurious on the outside, the interior decoration is very warm. There is also a small charcoal stove in the back bedroom, which can be used to make tea or steam For some food, there is a skylight on the roof of the carriage. If you want to bask in the sun, you can lie on a soft couch and bask in the sun.The four corner columns and the screen walls are hollowed out, and there are candlesticks inside. Even at night, if necessary, the carriage can be lit with candles.

With the dual shock absorption system of bridge type shock absorption and spring shock absorption, you can sit on the carriage without suffering from bumps at all.This is the best equipment for a long journey.Of course, this was Chen Ying's wish. There is only one such carriage in this world.

To Chen Ying's surprise, the sales of the four-wheeled carriage equipped with shock-absorbing equipment were very good.In this era, the vehicles used by people to travel are usually military chariots. Although military chariots can be used for transportation, they cannot protect against wind and rain.Of course, there is also a cart. A cart is a light carriage with a roof, but it is ventilated on all sides. Although it can keep out the rain when it rains, it still withstands the cold wind when it blows.

The more advanced one is Anche. Anche has a closed compartment, which can keep out the wind and rain.In short, it is the same as the format in film and television dramas.

In ancient times, the value of vehicles was very high. Even the simplest military vehicles were two-wheeled vehicles with handrails. The human-powered frame vehicles in the rural areas of later generations were actually derived from military vehicles, which were simply two-wheeled vehicles. In this era, a military chariot consisting of a large wooden plank also costs [-] yuan, which is [-] guan. People who can own their own military chariots are actually from wealthy families.

And the cart is a carriage with roller bearings. Although the shape is not complicated, the value is not low. It is a total of [-] yuan, which is fifty guan. The person who owns the cart is at least a landlord of the common clan.As for the safety car, the price varies from [-] to [-] guan according to the materials used and the width.

At this time, the Anche is actually a status symbol of the family, almost comparable to the Mercedes-Benz BMW of later generations, but although the Anche is expensive, it is terribly bumpy because there is no shock absorption.No matter how strong a person is, sitting for three hundred miles is like suffering from a serious illness.

Chen Ying sent a carriage to Chen Qi. Before Chen Qi could enjoy it for two days, he was forcibly recruited by Li Yuan. Li Yuan liked this carriage very much, but because Chen Ying's carriage was too vulgar, Li Yuan ordered According to the standard of the Dajia Yuren, the master master of the Shaofu Supervisor built a Dajia Yuren.

The big horse-drawn carriage is exclusive to the emperor. Ordinary people naturally have no way to ride it. However, princes and nobles have also followed suit. Even if there are fewer government officials, it is impossible to completely prevent four-wheeled carriages. The most critical technology is the shock-absorbing device and springs. Steel, Chen Ying provided two sets of bridge-type shock absorbers and 24 sets of spring shock absorbers to the Shaofu Supervisor, and the Shaofu Supervisor paid [-] guan.

Of course, the cost price of Li Yuan's four-wheeled jade scorpion exceeds [-] guan.

However, Chinese people have had a tendency to compare since ancient times. Li Yuan's big driving jade car was like a living advertisement for Chen Ying. The carriage was much smaller than Li Xiuning's four-wheeled carriage, only two feet two feet long and one foot four feet wide, but it used precious wood such as sandalwood and huanghuali as decoration materials.

Chen Ying, out of the idea of ​​not taking advantage of the bastard, opened his mouth and asked Pei Ji for 1 guan.Originally, Chen Ying planned to start a business by asking for sky-high prices and paying back the money when he landed, but he didn't expect Pei Ji to make the decision without blinking an eye, and paid the full amount four times in succession.

Pei Ji showed off to Li Yuan, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Shiwen in his new four-wheeled carriage. Song Guogong Xiao Shiwen placed an order with Chen Ying that night to make a four-wheeled carriage exactly like Pei Ji's.

Chen Ying was overjoyed. In fact, although he used a lot of precious wood to build his carriage for Pei Ji, it cost a lot, but overall, after deducting the craftsman's expenses, it was only [-] guan. A full eight thousand six hundred guan.

Chen Ying did not expect that Xiao Shiwen's custom-made carriage was not half finished yet, and Chen Shuda also placed an order with Chen Ying, but the specification was slightly inferior, and the order was [-] units.

Chen Ying saw that this was a good source of income, so he took advantage of the craftsmen from Lingzhou to build a carriage workshop.However, Chen Ying knew very well that rare things are considered expensive. For Chen Shuda's order, Chen Ying promised Chen Shuda that it would take at least two months before the Shangyuan Festival in the third year of Wude at the earliest.

Chen Ying gave this extra-large four-wheeled carriage to Li Xiuning. The purpose was naturally not simple, because Li Xiuning's carriage not only had the functions of washing, dressing, sleeping, making tea, steaming rice, playing chess, and entertainment. It will make the princesses, princesses, and wives of the Tang Dynasty flock to it.

As long as the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are mobilized, Chen Ying's carriage business will definitely make a fortune.There is no way, Chen Ying is short of money at this time, not only because of the construction of Chenshiwu Fort, but also because he wants to build a Modao army for Li Jiancheng, but the equipment of the Modao army is too expensive, although crucible steel can solve the problem of Modao The knife is easy to break, but there are no raw materials around Chang'an. All raw materials need to be transported from other places, and the cost itself is very high. Chen Ying had no choice but to put his mind on these princesses, princesses, and wives.

Who told women's money so easy to earn?

Hearing that Li Xiuning was coming, Chen Ying prepared a good gift for Li Xiuning, of course the ultimate goal was to make money.

……

Sitting in the carriage, Li Xiuning frowned, feeling very heavy.What made Li Xiuning most helpless was that the Chai family refused to let go and insisted on letting Li Xiuning keep the festival for Chai Shao.Although Li Yuan didn't want Li Xiuning to die as a widow for the rest of his life, Li Yuan is now sitting on the world, and his blood of the barbarian is his weakness. If Li Xiuning is forced to remarry, it may cause criticism from all over the world.What Li Yuan was thinking about was the world, the country, and the Li family's all-powerful country. As for Li Xiuning's problem, he just wronged her.

Every time Li Xiuning thought of this matter, she felt panicked in her heart.For the great Tang, she also worked hard and fought bloody battles, but she said bluntly, if it weren't for Li Xiuning's women's army occupying two-thirds of Guanzhong, whether Li Yuan would be able to capture Chang'an and sit firmly in Guanzhong is still unknown. .

But now, Li Yuan's unfeeling performance made Li Xiuning feel inexplicably chilled.Li Xiuning was in a bad mood, so she naturally thought of Chen Ying, but she understood Chen Ying. At this time, Chen Ying wanted to split herself in half and use it. She was so busy all day long that she didn't touch the ground. Li Xiuning wanted to go outside the city to relax. .

When the carriage came to Qinglin, Li Xiuning's personal maid Cui Er was like a curious baby, she pushed the window of the car, put her head out of the window, and looked at Qinglin.For Tweety, every place in Qinglin is new and unfamiliar.

As soon as she entered the clear forest, Cui'er yelled, "Princess, look at the many people outside..."
