Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1719, stunning appearance

"Haha, how can it be improved so quickly?"

When Zhu Houzhao received the news that the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory had sent him a car, he rushed out excitedly.

Soon, Zhu Houzhao came outside, and his eyes were locked on the black Mercedes parked outside.

"Tsk tsk~"

"Not bad, not bad, that's how it feels."

"Compared to the last time, this time it seems much more comfortable."

Zhu Houzhao walked around the car a few times, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Hurry up and teach me how to drive this car."

Zhu Houzhao pulled Huang Zhiyuan over and asked quickly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Huang Zhiyuan also quickly began to introduce the car control to Zhu Houzhao in detail. In this era, there is no such thing as a driver's license, as long as you master a few key points.

"It's pretty simple~"

"Come on, come on, get in the car, get in the car~"

"I didn't drive last time, so I must drive myself this time."

Zhu Houzhao greeted Liu Jin, Huang Zhiyuan and several personal guards directly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness~"

"Let me drive it, it's too dangerous."

When Huang Zhiyuan heard this, he became impatient. If he had known earlier, he would not have accepted this task. If the crown prince hurt a hair, he would lose his head.

"Yes, Your Highness, it's too dangerous, let Huang Zhiyuan drive it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin also said hastily.

"Go, go, just drive a car. There's nothing scary about it. It's a big piece of land. You can learn it by turning around twice."

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about it at all, and he wasn't afraid at all. He played with machinery a lot. He had driven steam cultivators, steam harvesters, etc., and he also liked the feeling of driving machinery.

Everyone couldn't be more stubborn than Zhu Houzhao, and they didn't dare not listen to his words. They could only start the car and watched Zhu Houzhao start to drive the car excitedly and run.

"Hahahaha, cool~"

"That's the feeling, the feeling of being free."

Zhu Houzhao didn't mean to be afraid of driving a car, but Huang Zhiyuan taught it once, and he remembered it wrongly, and when he drove, the smoother he drove, the happier he was.

"Come up, come up, and take you around the capital."

Soon, Zhu Houzhao felt that driving a car in his prince's mansion was not fun enough, so he also signaled Liu Jin and others to sit in the car. Individuals can stop it.

If he is not afraid of anything, there is nothing he dare not do.

"Woo~"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao stepped on the accelerator, the car drove out in a hurry, and soon entered Zhuque Street, the main road of the capital.

"Clang~clang~"

Zhuque Street is the busiest street in the capital. At this moment, a large number of vehicles and horses are on Zhuque Street. When Zhu Houzhao drove his car to Zhuque Street, he rang the bell on purpose, and suddenly It attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

"What is this?"

"It's not pulled by anyone or pulled by a horse, so it can run by itself?"

"Isn't it? This is almost the same as Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and horse?"

"How many people can be seated here? Do you see that there are still four people sitting in it?"

"What the hell is this?"

"This thing is a bit like a cultivating machine. A cultivating machine can also be driven by a person sitting on it by the steam engine."

"But, this one doesn't look like a cultivator. The cultivator is bigger and has a big boiler, but this one doesn't."

"This speed seems to be much faster than that of a cultivator."

"It looks like a pretty good look."

Zhuque Street is the most luxurious street in the capital. The shops here are all the most expensive and expensive in the capital, such as gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, banks, pawnshops, silk and satin, etc.

The vicinity here is also a place where the rich and powerful gather in the capital. Seeing Zhu Houzhao's car driving on Zhuque Street at this time, everyone is also full of curiosity.

Soon, when Zhu Houzhao drove a Mercedes-Benz car out of the city from Zhuque Street, and entered the main road in Nancheng District.

The planning of the New City in the South District is very good, and the roads are also very spacious, and like the roads of later generations, they are divided, with sidewalks and carriageways.

Only horse-drawn carriages can walk on the carriageway, and pedestrians cannot walk on it.

The spacious roads and reasonable planning also make the roads in the new city of the South District the best roads in the entire capital, and they are also roads that are never congested.

Once the car drove on such a road, Zhu Houzhao became more energetic.

As soon as the accelerator is stepped on, with the black smoke at the rear, the speed of the car is getting faster and faster.

"Haha~"

"Cool!"

Zhu Houzhao yelled happily while driving, completely ignoring Huang Zhiyuan, who was dying of nervousness, and Liu Jin, who was pale behind him.

On both sides of the road, a large number of passers-by quickly noticed the speeding cars on the road, looked over in surprise, and asked each other curiously.

On the carriageway, four-wheeled carriages were slowly moving forward. When they saw that they were overtaken by strange cars, the people on the carriages were all dumbfounded. They looked at the cars that drove away in a hurry, and all of them were shocked. They looked at each other, very curious.

Zhu Houzhao drove the car along the second ring road in Beijing, enjoying the speed and passion brought by the car.

At the same time, in the streets of the main wealthy districts in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory has also begun to advertise. Each Mercedes-Benz has advertising slogans on its head and Ming Ming flags on both sides of the car. drive.

The stylish shape, coupled with the attractiveness of the car itself, almost immediately let all the young and old in the capital know about this thing.

The Mercedes-Benz car store built next to the main road in the new city of the South District even put Mercedes-Benz cars at the door of the store. The new store opened with loud drums and colorful flags, creating a lively and extraordinary scene.

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper!"

In the early morning of the next day, with the yelling of newsboys, the capital city started a new day.

"The Beijing Benz Automobile Factory and the Beijing Institute of Mechanics researched the internal combustion engine and the automobile, and started the era of automobiles!"

With the yelling of the newspaper boy, a large number of people poured out from every corner to buy newspapers.

"The age of the car?"

Reading newspapers has become the most important thing for young and old in Ming Dynasty every day.

Everyone who got the newspaper saw the contents of the newspaper headlines at once.

"It turns out that the iron shell that was walking on the street yesterday turned out to be a car. I thought it was something."

"Isn't it? Yesterday, I saw an iron shell on the street that didn't need a horse or someone to drag it. I thought it was Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and horse. It turned out to be something called a car. .”

"What is this internal combustion engine, and what is the use of this car?"

"Didn't the newspaper say that this internal combustion engine is similar to a steam engine, and it relies on combustion to provide power, but its efficiency and horsepower are much stronger than that of a steam engine, and it is smaller and more convenient. Something called gasoline."

"This car is very useful. The newspaper clearly stated in detail that this car does not need to be pulled by horses. It relies on an internal combustion engine to provide power. The fastest speed can reach more than 100 miles per hour. That is to say, from From Beijing to Tianjin, if you take this car, it will take two hours."

"And this car, it can not only carry people, but also carry goods, as long as there are roads, it can drive over."

"More than 100 miles an hour, true or false?"

"When I saw it yesterday, its speed seemed to be very slow."

"That's because there are so many people on the street, so you can't drive too fast. Once you are on a road with no people, the speed will be fast."

"I feel that this car is much better than a bicycle. A bicycle will fail when it is windy and rainy, and it will get wet in the rain. This car will not, and people will not get wet at all when they are inside."

"And this speed is much faster, and it can seat a few people, and you can also bring some things."

"That's right, there are a lot of things about this car, that is, I don't know if it's durable or not. If it breaks down every few days, it won't work well."

"The quality of Mercedes-Benz products is reliable. For the same bicycle, the quality of Mercedes-Benz is much better than other brands, and all parts are good and bad, and maintenance is easier."

"That's true. I don't know how much this Mercedes-Benz sells for. If you buy one and go out on business, it seems to be very good. It's much more comfortable than riding in a four-wheeled carriage."

"Didn't the above say that the price of this Mercedes-Benz is more than 6000 taels of silver?"

"Oh my god, more than 6000 taels of silver. Isn't this a few houses in it? Would anyone be stupid enough to buy it?"

"No matter how much money there is, it is enough to raise as many horses as possible. The four-wheeled carriages can be used in turns. Who will buy this car?"

"This thing is not affordable for ordinary people, but for those who are really rich. 6000 taels of silver, ordinary people can't afford it in a lifetime."

"That's right, these things are prepared for the rich and powerful, not something ordinary people can afford."

",,,,,,"

With the newspaper reports and the continuous activities of the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory in the Beijing-Tianjin area, people drove Mercedes-Benz cars on the streets every day. All of a sudden, young and old people in the entire capital city were also discussing this car.

When countless people heard that the price of this car was as high as more than 6000 taels, they couldn't help being amazed, but what is unattainable for ordinary people is still a trivial matter for the rich in Beijing and Tianjin. Soon it also became hot.
