The Golden County Magistrate

After He Jinyao entered the palace, he saw Tang Yun sitting on the imperial sedan chair and walking back and forth in the imperial garden.

He was a little surprised. The imperial garden was so small, so why did she use the imperial sedan chair?

But he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only wait patiently and quietly.

Just then, Fenglingwei came in with Han Zhaokun, the internal historian of Fengge.

"Han Aiqing, you are here. Come on up and have a chat." Tang Yun saw Han Zhaokun coming and asked people to stop.

"Ah? This is the imperial sedan chair. How can a humble minister get on it!" Han Zhaokun was startled and quickly knelt on the ground.

He Jinyao was also confused.

What's going on with the emperor today?

Why does it feel weird?

"I want you to come up, so come up!" Tang Yun's jade face sank slightly.

"Yes, yes!" Han Zhaokun had no choice but to get up and carefully get on the imperial sedan chair.

The imperial chariot continued to move forward, and the four imperial horses pulled the two back and forth in the garden with the sound of hooves.

"What do you think of my imperial chariot, Lord Han?" Tang Yun asked indifferently.

"It is unparalleled in the world." Han Zhaokun was not sure what the emperor meant, but he knew that it was always right to flatter him.

"Oh, unparalleled in the world? Do you mean that there is no other carriage in the world that can be better than the imperial chariot?" Tang Yun's voice turned cold.

"Of course!" Han Zhaokun had been an official for many years and felt something was wrong, but now he could only bite the bullet and respond.

"So, my imperial craftsmen are no longer able to make the imperial chariot more comfortable?" Tang Yun asked.

"Ah? This..." Han Zhaokun's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Damn it.

The emperor usually never cares about the issue of fun and enjoyment, and devotes himself to the world's affairs. Why is he so aggressive about this today?

He Jinyao, who was standing by, had a vague idea of ​​something. After all, he was the only official in the court who knew about Chen Yan's extraordinary carriage.

"If I tell you that there is another carriage in the world that is a hundred times more comfortable than my carriage, what do you say?" Tang Yun stared at Han Zhaokun.

Fengge Neishi was also in charge of all the things in and out of the palace. This imperial carriage was supervised by Han Zhaokun. All the craftsmanship on the carriage was the most advanced in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it must be the most comfortable in the world.

If there is really a carriage in the world that is a hundred times more comfortable than the imperial carriage, then it is Han Zhaokun who has failed in his duty!

He was so scared that he knelt down again and said in panic: "This, how is this possible!"

Tang Yun waved her hand: "Come down. Don't panic, I don't want to blame you, I just want to ask you if there is room for improvement in the imperial carriage."

Chen Yan said that it would take at least half a month to customize another carriage like his.

On her way back to Beijing, Tang Yun felt more and more how powerful Chen Yan's carriage was.

Forget about the cement road and the highway. There was a section of road from Longzhou to Sili that was washed away by floods at the beginning of the year. It was in ruins but not broken. Every time she passed by there, it was very bumpy.

There were two times when she passed by there, she simply got off the horse and walked over.

But when she passed by Chen Yan's carriage, it was even more stable than when her own carriage was on the cement road!

Moreover, when she passed by there this time, something happened that made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"I will ask the imperial craftsman to try to improve it." Han Zhaokun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up and said.

"Not only should it be improved, but the cost should also be kept to a minimum so that the people can use it!" Tang Yun said.

"Yes, I will do my best!" Han Zhaokun hurriedly agreed.

"Go, I still have something to discuss with Mr. He." Tang Yun ordered.

After Han Zhaokun left in a hurry, Tang Yun got off the imperial chariot and took He Jinyao to the pavilion beside the lotus pond in the garden to sit down.

"I have a worry, can you help me solve my worries?" She stared at the pond and said slowly.

"May I hear what it is first?" If it were someone else, they would definitely agree first, but He Jinyao has always been a practical man and asked cautiously first.

"When I was returning to Beijing from Qingshan, I met an ox cart on the road."

"There was a woman sitting in the car with three children."

"When passing the road at the junction of Longzhou and Sizhou, the road was too bumpy, and two children in the car fell off and had bloody heads."

Tang Yun said sadly.

He Jinyao knew that she cared about the people and must be sad to see this scene. He sighed, "It's inevitable that the road is in such a bad state."

Tang Yun sighed, "Sizhou is the direct jurisdiction of our Great Zhou. The roads are so bad, let alone the rest of the world? But I sat in Chen Yan's carriage and it was as if I was on flat ground there."

He Jinyao couldn't help but nod, "Indeed, that carriage is really ingenious."

"I have asked Fang Yingtai, the Minister of Construction, to start repairing that section of road."

"But now the treasury is empty. Even if the business with Chen Yan can be slowed down for a while, it will be difficult toReplenish the national treasury in a short time."

"Without silver in the national treasury, there is no money to repair the roads of the world."

"Even if there is silver, it is still unknown when the roads of the world can be repaired."

"So I have an idea. If the people's ox carts can also walk on the damaged land like Chen Yan's carriage, wouldn't it also alleviate the people's difficulties?"

"However, Chen Yan's carriage is expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people."

"That's why I asked Han Aiqing to come and ask about the method of improving the carriage."

"If it can be extended to the people, it can benefit the world."

Tang Yun said slowly.

He Jinyao understood what she meant and sighed: "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent to the world. God will be grateful for this sincerity. I believe that there will be a solution to this matter in the future. But I have an idea. It's better to ask Chen Yan than to ask the imperial craftsman about this matter."

Tang Yun shook her head: "He won't help. "

Chen Yan obviously wanted to make a fortune from the carriage, otherwise he would not have asked for a carriage at a sky-high price of six thousand taels of silver.

If this kind of carriage became a cheap product, how could he make money?

He Jinyao hesitated.

Tang Yun calmed down and changed the subject: "He Aiqing came here, there must be something important."

He Jinyao hurriedly reported to her in detail the fact that the franchisees were coming in one after another.

Tang Yun was greatly encouraged by hearing this, and finally understood why Chen Yan was so sure that he could make five hundred thousand taels in three days.

So many franchise requests greatly exceeded her expectations!

It's not that she didn't consider that there would be people who would ask to join in the future.

This strange method, she could feel, would have a role in the future.

But not now.

After all, the franchisees have not officially opened their stores yet, and no one can be sure of the results. It is impossible for anyone to want to join in the short term.

However, the facts completely overturned her cognition!
