Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 850 Great achievement

  In Fengtian Hall, fell into silence.

  Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his distress for Yinzi, sighed faintly, and asked the case: "This... is the wish of the crown prince and Fang Jifan, if I don't give it a try, I won't be chilling their hearts."

   That's what he said, but his eyes were bulging, and he still couldn't help but glared at the two prodigal sons.

  He really wanted to complain, so he just gave me some money, which made me happier.

  Emperor Hongzhi continued: "Since that's the case, shall I give it a try?"

   "Yes, give it a try, give it a try, grandson, drive!"

  As soon as Liu Jin heard about his grandson, without further ado, Liu Jin led the horse and turned his head, walked out of Fengtian Hall, and then waited on the horse.

  The officials sighed in their hearts, but they were speechless.

  This is His Majesty's private matter, and it seems that it is not easy to interfere. Besides, this carriage is a birthday gift for His Majesty, and they can't let His Majesty lose it.

  Fang Jifan greeted people with a smile: "Your Majesty, this carriage may be faster. You are in the carriage, so don't worry."

   "..."

   It sounds strange no matter how you hear it.

  Emperor Hongzhi paused, and suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship.

   But up to now, what else can he say, he just smiled and said: "I am the Son of Heaven, I am ordered by the sky, and I have the protection of heaven."

  But the minds of the officials are obviously not as broad as that of Emperor Hongzhi. Their evil fire is about to come up again.

  Recently, because of the house, everyone is a little irritable.

   Those who bought a house are worried about the ups and downs of the house. For those who haven't bought it yet, they are raising money while worrying that they will not be able to afford it when they get their money raised.

  Emperor Hongzhi had already left Fengtian Hall slowly, and everyone had no choice but to follow along, Xiao Jing looked very nervous, and his face was miserable.

  Your Majesty is a man of gold.

  This car...wouldn't it be outrageous?

   This is obviously a doubt in the hearts of countless people.

  Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining brightly, with a smiling face, he personally supported Emperor Hongzhi. Liu Jin stood upright and opened the carriage door.

  He could barely breathe, he was so nervous, but then he began to regret it again, why... he didn't come here without eating something to fill his stomach, at least he suppressed his fear a little when he was full.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around while standing at the door of the car, and said, "Ouyang Qing's family..."

  Among the crowd, there was a moment of silence before Ouyang Zhi stepped forward and said, "The minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't like to experience new things. If it wasn't because of the one hundred thousand taels, he wouldn't even bother, but he looked through the car door and saw that the car was very spacious, so he greeted Ouyang Zhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi had an instinctive trust in Ouyang Zhi.

  Ouyang Zhi let out a cry, and then Emperor Hongzhi entered the car, followed by Ouyang Zhi.

   This compartment is as spacious as it looks from the outside.

   After all, it is four wheels. It is half a foot wide and about one foot long. It will be placed in a space of about five square meters in later generations. Looking inside, it is a big sofa.

   This thing is very solid, the bottom is stuffed with cotton, the outside is covered with a layer of leather, and there are fine lines on the leather. The large sofa looks very grand.

  Emperor Hongzhi sank in as soon as he sat down, but...this sitting posture...is comfortable.

  This feeling is much more comfortable than the dragon chair, and you can even raise your feet. At the corner of the sofa is a movable board. Just pull it lightly, which is equivalent to an extra coffee table. There are car windows on both sides, using multi-layer glass, which almost isolates the noise from the outside.

   Pulling the curtains of the car window, Emperor Hongzhi could see the busy and tense officials outside.

   But sitting like this and looking at the scenery outside the car window is really great.

  Emperor Hongzhi leaned against the pillow, um... what kind of thing is this? I will also make a pair in the bedroom in the future, it is comfortable.

   On the opposite side of the big sofa, there are two small sofas side by side, just opposite to the big sofa, the space there is much cramped.

  Ouyang Zhi bowed his body and followed in. Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "The Qing family also sit down."

  Emperor Hongzhi understood the function of the small sofa opposite.

This is when you are in the car, if you need to explain something, or you need to work in the car, you can let yourself lean on the sofa and watch the memorial, and the person sitting on the small sofa can provide advice at any time, Even take care of the records.

   This is an office artifact!

  For Emperor Hongzhi, this alone was comparable to any means of transportation. He is a diligent emperor, and he has always wished that he could be separated and handle government affairs at any time.

Ouyang Zhi sat down on the small sofa opposite, looking a little cautious, looked around, because the curtains were drawn, and the interior lighting was very good. Of course, the curtains can also be closed at any time, because in this compartment, There is also a horse lantern hanging for lighting inside the car.

  The four walls of the compartment are covered with several layers of leather, which is very soft to the touch. This kind of leather filling can protect people to a certain extent even in the event of a collision.

  Of course, the most important thing is style, showing a high-end taste everywhere.

  Emperor Hongzhi still had a thread hanging from the roof of the car. Emperor Hongzhi looked curious and asked, "What's the use of this thread?"

  Fang Jifan stood at the door of the car with a smile, and the door was still closed.

Fang Jifan explained patiently: "This line is connected to the groom in front of the carriage. The carriage is closed. If your majesty is talking in the carriage, no one outside can hear you unless you are yelling. But your majesty wants the groom to stop. Or to speed up the horse, or if there is any other need, just pull the wire, and the bell outside the carriage will ring, and the coachman will know His Highness's intentions.

  Emperor Hongzhi's heart suddenly became happy: "You, you really have a lot of thoughts."

  Fang Jifan said sternly: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at this novel carriage and couldn't help but raise his feet.

  To be honest, what he has always advocated is that the emperor should be dignified, sitting and standing in a proper manner.

But sitting on the sofa in this car, the whole person sinks into it, it is indescribably comfortable, and it is the most comfortable to cross your feet like this, and...sitting like this, looking at the scenery outside the glass window, I feel a little disdainful The feeling of the world.

  Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "This car...if it doesn't move, it would be very good."

  He even came up with an idea to simply move the car back to Qianning Palace. When he was tired, he could just sit here.

  Fang Jifan naturally heard the meaning of Emperor Hongzhi's words, and his face was pulled down.

   Immediately closed the car door and said to Liu Jin, "Grandson, let's go."

  Sitting on the protruding seat in front of the carriage, Liu Jin was still a little nervous, holding the whip and the rein with both hands, not daring to beat the horse with the whip, and the horse moved lazily after only one sound of driving.

   walked very slowly.

  The wheels began to turn slowly.

  The rubber of these four wheels is attached to the asphalt road on the ground, making an inaudible, slight rustling sound.

   But this sound is completely inaudible in the carriage.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at the car window, and the scenery outside the car window began to move.

only…

  I was on the sofa...it was...it was...I couldn't feel the slightest movement.

this…

   Even if it is Buyu, it will still be wobbly.

But…

  This car...is obviously moving.

  Emperor Hongzhi was surprised and looked at Ouyang Zhi in horror.

  Ouyang Zhi seemed even more unresponsive to the movement of the carriage.

  A group of ministers trotted after the carriage.

   They are worried to death.

  But I don't know the situation of His Majesty in the car.

   Instead, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were overjoyed. I saw Fang Jifan yelling: "Grandson, turn left!"

  This is... still available?

  The four-wheeled carriage, can it be turned around?

  Liu Jin immediately pulled the horse's rope, and this honest and loyal Mongolian horse like Fang Jifan snorted lightly, then began to turn its head to the left and continued on its way.

   And the carriage carriage at the back, and the four wheels below it, started to rotate smoothly.

   "It's really possible to turn." Someone exclaimed.

   Even when turning, Emperor Hongzhi hardly felt anything.

   It was only when he looked at the scenery outside that he realized, oh, it turned left, where is he going?

  Emperor Hongzhi sat in the carriage, still sitting in the most leisurely posture, very comfortable, and it was precisely because of this comfort that he was in a good mood to quietly appreciate the outside of the car window.

  This carriage...is very interesting.

  Emperor Hongzhi thought with a smile.

  …

   "Turn it, turn it." The people outside shouted in horror.

  A group of ministers, who simply gave up their old bones, desperately ran after the carriage, all of them panting, for fear that the carriage would leave their sight.

  Worry, Your Majesty is a rich man, so it's better not to have any accidents.

  When they saw the carriage turning, the four wheels seemed to move by themselves, very smooth but crisp.

   Many people are a little dumbfounded.

  Eastern technology tree is a bit crooked.

  Although our ancestors have made countless remarkable scientific and technological achievements, the most outstanding ones are the four great inventions. It should be noted that these four great inventions are the foundation of the great voyages and the industrial revolution.

  But on this carriage, it has been stagnant for thousands of years.

  The four-wheeled carriage cannot turn, so it was naturally abandoned and replaced by a sedan chair.

   And want to make a four-wheeled carriage, the most important of which is the most primitive chassis system of a vehicle.

  Fang Jifan... What he made out of the toss is the chassis.

   When it comes to the spaciousness and comfort of the vehicle, as well as other comparisons, the horse-drawn carriage is supposed to kill the sedan chair in seconds.

   But the premise of all this is that the carriage must have four wheels.

  Fang Jifan installed two relatively primitive structures in the chassis of the vehicle. One is the vehicle shock absorber. To put it bluntly, it is to add something to the chassis as a buffer to filter out the vibration. The other thing is the vehicle's four-wheel steering system. To be honest, Fang Jifan doesn't like to harvest leeks with new concepts. If there are leeks in this world, Fang Jifan can give this chassis a name called "double chassis filter" shock steering system'.
