The big man has a living father

Chapter 206 (Long Chapter) The First Car in History

In the past, Chang'an had a large population, was prosperous, and was very advanced.

The population of Chang'an today cannot be described with the word "large", nor can it be described with simple words like "prosperous" or "advanced".

There was nothing to do in the whole Chang'an in winter. Apart from the white and yellow smoke coming out of the various smoked meat shops of Zhao's Smoked Meat distributed in Chang'an City, there was also the black and white smoke from the steam engines.

On a tall building, Liu Ju stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent but actually somewhat serious: "Let's see what's the tallest building in Chang'an City?"

Jiang Buyi took a bite of the scallion meat pie and chewed it while saying, "Water tower."

Liu Ju: "Do you know what was the highest in the past?"

Jiang Buyi: "Arrow tower?"

Liu Ju: "Both are wrong and both are right. In the past and now, the tallest building in Chang'an has always been the Observatory. It's just that technology has improved and the Observatory is even taller now."

“People’s thirst for science and desire to explore the unknown is unstoppable.”

"Besides, the arrow tower used to be the tallest, but now it's the water tower."

"The arrow tower is the tallest because Chang'an City is densely populated with palaces, and the arrow tower can monitor every street and every person who passes by."

"The reason why the water tower is so high now is that the water is high enough to have the pressure to fall from the water pipe to every household."

Jiang Buyi nodded and continued eating the scallion pancake: "Yeah, then what?"

Liu Ju secretly glanced at the scallion pancake and said, "And you still don't understand? What does it mean that the water tower is the tallest?"

Jiang Buyi: "What does it mean?"

Liu Ju: "According to my observation, this means that the main struggle in Chang'an City has changed from monitoring unstable factors to boosting the economy."

Jiang Buyi wanted to deny this: "No, I asked a professional about this."

Liu Ju turned back suspiciously: "Huh?"

Although Liu Ju was a child, how many people in Chang'an City were more professional than Liu Ju?
Jiang Buyi: "In fact, the water tower is not only high for pressurizing the water. The water tower is built high so that it can also be used as a fire lookout tower. The arrow towers in the past were also lookout towers, but they were not really used to shoot arrows from them. The water towers now are also used for lookouts. It's just that the object of observation has changed from people who may rebel to fire."

"It's just that whether it's the fire or the people who might have rebelled before, they are all the same, they are all destabilizing factors."

"Professionals have said that the first priority for economic development is also social stability."

Liu Ju thought about it and felt that it made sense: "This professional is quite amazing. In this case, the world has never changed."

Jiang Buyi: "So, it has actually changed. For example, people who might have rebelled before, now have no chance of success, so there is no need to raise the arrow tower. Although Chang'an used to be made of wood and mud houses, it was not easy to cause major damage due to fire. Although it is now made of concrete houses, the possibility of fire has actually increased."

"It may be because people in the past couldn't afford firewood, but now every household has a stove."

Liu Ju nodded: "My teacher always taught me that one of the three of us must be my teacher, but I always ignored it. Now it seems to make sense. For example, I didn't know that the water tower has the function of fire lookout."

Jiang Buyi only then looked at himself and saw that he had eaten three quarters of the meat pie: "Do you want to eat it?"

Liu Ju waved his hands irritably.

Jiang Buyi: "This is the first time I see a child not liking to eat."

Liu Ju: "No, you can't say that. It's not that I don't like to eat, it's that I don't like to eat."

Jiang Buyi spread his hands: "Is there a difference?"

Liu Ju: "I like to eat, but I don't like leftovers."

"Traitor, you didn't even think about respecting your teacher before you took your first bite. You only called me your teacher when you couldn't eat any more!"

In order to prove that he was not completely unable to eat, Jiang Buyi stuffed the remaining quarter into his mouth in one gulp.

Are you kidding? There is no such thing as innate strength. It's just that I have been doing a lot of work and eating a lot since I was young, so I am strong.

Liu Ju originally wanted to eat the remaining quarter, but now there is not even one quarter left to eat.

Looking back at Chang'an City, although the fireworks were so exaggerated and thousands of smoke columns reached the sky above Chang'an City, Liu Ju felt sad in his heart.

I'm afraid I won't be able to support myself in my old age by relying on this apprentice.

Jiang Buyi laughed out loud: "See, how can I give it to you with my leftovers?"

Jiang Buyi took out another scallion meat pie from his pocket and said, "Actually, yours is here."

"Just now I saw that you were inspired and thought you were going to compose a poem, so I didn't give you the scallion pancake."

"If you become famous in the future, and the historian records that you wrote a poem holding a scallion pancake, it would be indecent."

Liu Ju took the meat pie contentedly and took a big bite. "Indecent? Decent is all people's imagination. Do you know what the two most educated people in Chang'an are like? One is old and shameless, and the other is young and shameless."

"The two most famous teachers in Chang'an City, one is full of benevolence, but every day he holds a book and draws circles to curse others. The other one carries a sword every day, and anyone who dares to say he is not will be chopped off."

Jiang Buyi: "That makes sense. Knowledge is power."

As he spoke, Jiang Buyi patted his head and said, "Have you not eaten for a long time? Why do you look so hungry?"

Liu Ju didn't want to either. Liu Ju liked to eat new things, but the royal chef didn't go out every day. The fashion trends in Chang'an City changed every day, and the royal chef had never heard of many newly created delicacies, let alone making them.

In the past, Liu Ju often spent money to buy it.

Liu Ju has been very poor recently and has no money to buy it.

Liu Ju: "I am poor. I don't have money to buy candied haws recently."

Jiang Buyi put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Hahaha, you finally made it. I'll take you to a banquet in a few days!"

Liu Ju slapped his thigh: "Great!"

This way, I can have two banquets recently!

This way, even if you can’t afford food for a while, it’s okay.

"What day?"

Jiang Buyi: "It's an auspicious day, the ninth day."

Liu Ju: “…”

Jiang Buyi saw that Liu Ju looked unhappy and asked in confusion: "?"

Liu Ju: "I thought I could have two meals."

Jiang Buyi: "I suggest you go with me to the banquet, because there should be no one in the world who can dine better than me."

Liu Ju despised him.

Never seen the world.

Jiang Buyi: "Besides, if you want to have a feast with me, you can go to the inner courtyard to eat."

Inner courtyard? Liu Ju subconsciously said: Follow me and you can eat in the hall.

When the words came to his lips, Liu Ju suddenly realized.

Are we eating at the same table?

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, besides my brother-in-law, who else would hold a wedding banquet and separate the inner and outer courtyards?
Jiang Buyi chuckled: "Are you shocked? I didn't expect that I have connections in Chang'an City, right? Hahahaha!"

Liu Ju: "Great, great, where is the address?"

Jiang Buyi patted his chest and said, "Of course it's the Huo Mansion."

Liu Ju: "Okay, I'll go. I'll get to the inner courtyard gate and you can take me there."

Jiang Buyi: "Ah? I told you that Wu Hou's wedding is very fun. There are many activities that people in the past didn't have, various fun activities, and activities to pick up the bride and so on."

"You can come with me in the morning, and you can get a red envelope!"

Liu Ju complained in his heart, you traitor, you are the man's bride-welcoming team, okay? I am the leader of the woman's road-blocking team, you know!

How could the red envelopes received by the groom’s wedding party be as much as mine?
"No, no, if I don't eat anything after giving away all the gifts at my wedding, wouldn't that be a big loss? I'll go get some first, and then go to the Huo Mansion, and then you take me to get some."

Jiang Buyi: "Can you get into the Huo Mansion?"

Liu Ju: "Look, I'm only ten years old. I can get into the outer courtyard by following anyone. Only when I enter the inner courtyard will someone check my identity. Only then will I need you to lead me."

Liu Ju thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come with me first and then go over."

Jiang Buyi: "No, no, I can't go. I have work to do in Marquis Huo Wu's wedding procession."

Liu Ju figured it out in no time.

It really is the groom’s wedding party.

After finishing today's lesson, Liu Ju asked Shi De: "Check Jiang Buyi, is he from the Huo Mansion?"

Shi De was puzzled: "Ah? Prince, you don't know?"

Liu Ju waved his hand: "Why should I know?"

Shi De: "Prince, you met him in the artificial canal of Bowang Garden. Apart from the core children of the three mansions and the people from our Prince's Mansion, who else could go there?"

Liu Ju finally reacted.

"Eh? I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of this?"

"So you all know him?"

Shi De: "Jiang Buyi, the coachman of Wu Hou, the successor of Xiang Xu, very famous!"

Liu Ju slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, it turns out we are rivals."

After learning about the rules of the wedding, Liu Ju had already immersed himself in the role and was on the defensive before the wedding even started.

"Is there any way to trick him?"

Shi De: "Toll money."

Liu Ju: “That’s it?”

Shi De: "Every door is blocked."

Liu Ju: "Okay, it's decided."

"wrong……"

Liu Ju suddenly remembered that he had agreed to go to the inner courtyard with Jiang Buyi for a grand banquet. Wouldn't it be meaningless if he was recognized?

Liu Ju recalled and confirmed that Jiang Buyi did not know that he was the prince. He confiscated this apprentice because Jiang Buyi was not respectful enough. It would be bad if he revealed it now.

“Is there any way to make sure they are asked for red envelopes but don’t know who I am?”

Shi De: "How about you also wear a red veil?"

Liu Ju rolled his eyes.

Shi De continued to give advice: "Wear a mask?"

Liu Ju: "It's stable~!"

……

Huo Hai's wedding did not follow the Han Dynasty's rules. If it had followed these rules, wouldn't it have been a waste of time?
Getting married, getting married, at dusk, although it is fun to drink together from a gourd, these are all things that should be done behind closed doors.

Huo Hai brought out all the tricks from his previous life.

On the one hand, this set of measures is to bring over some customs, and on the other hand, it is to enhance the status of women.

And also to sell the house.

This logic is easy to understand.

Generally speaking, after a woman gets married, she no longer belongs to the family, so her room will naturally be used for other purposes.

But if some ceremonial events were held in this room, then this room would naturally have commemorative significance, and it would be very likely to be preserved.

For example, a family originally only needs three rooms, and the youngest child lives with his parents. When the daughter gets married, the youngest child moves to live in this room.

But if a family wants to reserve a room for their married daughter, then the family will need four rooms.

This is a disguised way for them to increase housing prices.

It is also a measure to improve the quality of the population and reduce the rate of population expansion.

The reason is simple. You have already invested 50,000 yuan in this person, so would it be easy to make the decision to invest an extra 10,000 yuan to let her study?
If a family does not spend a penny on a person, who can expect the family to invest money in her to let her learn to read and write?

People in Chang'an City are now wealthy, but many of them don't know where to spend their money.

The first order of answers to this question is investment, and the second order is naturally to spend on family members.

So why use a wedding ceremony to accomplish this?

The answer was given as early as when Huo Hai first proposed literacy campaign.

The most effective way to promote literacy is not to tell others how useful reading is, but to make everyone feel that it is shameful not to read.

Simply put, face is more important than functionality.

The vast majority of people do not have a normal way of thinking. They will not read for the purpose of learning to read and write. Even in the era when literacy was successfully promoted, there were still a large number of people who did not read because reading was useful, but because illiteracy was shameful.

By the same token, getting every family to spend money on girls is not to make them realize the role of girls, but to prevent them from being embarrassed.

If this custom continues, whenever a daughter gets married in the future, someone will come to the house to see her, and decorating the boudoir will be inevitable.

The cost of decorating the boudoir must be spent, so parents will not do it improvisationally when they need it, but will reserve the boudoir for their daughter in advance.

The logic is that since I will need to use the car someday anyway, there is no need to be embarrassed. If a car is so convenient, why don’t I buy one earlier?
By the same token, it is convenient to have one room per person, and it is embarrassing to let others know that there is not one room per person at home, so why didn't I buy one earlier? Must the whole family squeeze together for a lifetime and only get a room the day before someone comes to visit?

Huo Hai had no idea about Xu Kong raising the status of anyone, nor did he have any reason to force such a thing.

However, in order to improve the quality of the population, it is acceptable to use some small tricks.

Huo Hai only remembered this matter because Princess Wei Chang reminded him.

Because after the marriage was granted, Huo Hai and Princess Wei Chang should have been married immediately. However, Princess Wei Chang remembered what was published in Science News, which said that late childbearing could increase the survival rate of pregnant women. In addition, Science News began to estimate the average life expectancy of the Han Dynasty, so everyone thought that people nowadays were more suitable for late marriage rather than getting married at the age of twelve as before.

So Princess Wei Chang and Huo Hai decided to get married in the new year. By then, both of them would be twenty years old, and this would set an example for the people of the world.

Huo Hai suddenly remembered that the so-called trend is what everyone follows.

Then, I should bring over the modern wedding set.

After this set is moved here, it can serve as a great example.

One of the most important ones is to stimulate the increase in sales of second-hand houses. Only in this way can the real estate market be boosted and the rapid development of Dahan be driven by strong momentum.

The real estate industry will expand for at least twenty years.

Twenty years later, perhaps the Han people will have reached all five continents, and by then, the profits gained from this place will be able to easily offset the side effects brought about by the real estate industry.

As soon as Huo Hai reported the matter to Liu Che, Liu Che noticed this: "Selling the house?"

Huo Hai chuckled.

"How can it be because of selling houses? It's to improve the quality of the population." Liu Che didn't believe it: "80% is to sell houses, 20% is for other things, and 10% is to improve the quality of the population, which is good enough."

Huo Hai then became serious: "Your Majesty, times have changed. In the past, population was wealth."

"From now on, within the Han Dynasty, the low-quality population will become a huge burden. This burden will prevent the Han Dynasty from ever making progress."

Huo Hai still remembers his third brother from his previous life deeply.

That guy, with a slave-to-human ratio of ten to one, can’t implement any policy.

Even though 90 percent of the lower caste population serve the higher caste population and give everything for them, when it comes to the overall environment, the situation is the opposite.

Nine out of ten people do not believe in science but in God. There are countless acts that defy nature every day. How can this develop? Not to mention acts that defy nature, even if there is one explosive piece of news among one billion people, it can make the whole country a laughing stock.

Some people may say, people in Europe and America also believe in God, so why is it not like this?

The answer is don’t believe it.

Saying you believe and actually believing are two different things.

in the country, when people say "the customer is God", it means, watch out, I'm going to cheat you.

No, who in China believes in God?

In Europe and the United States, the saying "the customer is God" means, let me see whether you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

If people really believe in God, why are there so many commercial frauds in Europe and America, and so many unscrupulous businessmen and capitalists? Or is there a basic physical rule in the world that says "If you believe in God, you can't be a capitalist"?
Is it possible that it’s the other way around, that this group of people never believed it at all, and just believed it verbally?
So, don't look at what a person says, look at what he does.

From their behavior and their swearing that 'the customer is God', it is easy to conclude that no one really believes it.

Of course, the issue itself does not mean that believing in God means having a low-quality population.

A group of people who believe in God equals a low-quality population.

The principle is still the same: "The intelligence displayed by the crowd is based on the lowest intelligence person as the standard."

It is easy to be fanatical when believing in God, and the intelligence displayed by the crowd is based on the standard of people with the lowest intelligence. Don't these two things combined make it both low intelligence and fanatical?
If this isn’t a low-quality population, what is?
The most basic problem here is actually a line. If more than half of the people do not believe in God, then this debuff cannot be activated. If it exceeds the line, then it will be activated 100%.

Therefore, the implication of allowing everyone to have a room is that every family must have a certain minimum limit on the cost of raising each child.

Every family has a certain lower limit on the cost of raising each child, which means it is easier for every family to send each child to school.

It is roughly equivalent to easy literacy success.

It is roughly equivalent to a significant leap in the quality of the population.

This chain of logic is as outrageous as being fired because one's left foot stepped through the threshold first, which might have caused the company to go bankrupt.

Such outrageous things are not necessarily true. Even if the reasoning process is logical, it is not necessarily true because there are too many variable factors.

But for Liu Che, this was a sure win.

Even if this logical deduction is not valid, simply selling the house would still be a huge profit. Who said that the land of Chang'an is now in the hands of Liu Che and Huo Hai?

The development of Chang'an City and the new city began three years ago. At that time, Huo Hai and Liu Che acquired the land along the Wei River and sold it.

The development of the new city has accommodated a large population, making ordinary people feel that there are enough houses in Chang'an to live in, and housing prices in other areas have begun to stabilize or even fall.

At this time, Huo Hai and Liu Che acquired the land of Wannian County.

The planning for Wannian County has now been put on the table.

Now Liu Che is building a palace complex on the land outside his grandfather's Ba Mausoleum in Bashang or Bailuyuan. The other plots of land had been bought by the two of them a long time ago. Because the workers were all repairing public facilities, there were few people repairing the palace, so the new palace would take three or four years to build.

In another two years, when the palace is completed, we will then build houses in the south and east of the city and sell them.

In another two years, when the palace continues to move westward, the house will be built westward.

After this circle of construction, the real estate industry in Chang'an City alone will be able to provide Liu Che with all the funds for five national projects in the next ten years.

Liu Che did not need any other reasons and he also made every effort to promote the development of the real estate industry, not to mention that there were other benefits to this matter.

This means you get what you pay for, and you might even win a prize, so it would be a waste if you don't try.

Since the New Year's Day ancestor worship ceremony, people in Chang'an have also begun to learn how to worship their ancestors.

Burn paper IOUs for your ancestors, and burn gold, silver and yellow paper.

There are also paper carriages, paper houses and villas.

"My dear ancestor, our family was poor before, and we had no burial objects, just a mat. Now you can enjoy what our great-grandfather enjoyed. Although it is a little smaller, it has everything. If you need anything, just dream for me! My dear ancestor, please bless our family with both sons and daughters and good fortune!"

"Dad, life is getting better now. You can use floor heating underground. We only used floor heating this winter. I'll arrange it for you. Please help me make more money. I'll burn two more wives for you next year."

The daughter-in-law next to him kicked him and said, "What are you talking about?"

In the first week of the Lunar New Year, ancestor worship suddenly became popular.

Everyone is staring at Huo Hai. He must have his reasons for doing that. Otherwise, how did he become so successful and rise to become the richest man in the world?

Watch carefully and learn well!

Now that we have learned how to worship our ancestors, let’s see how the Huo family chooses to marry a daughter-in-law.

In fact, weddings have changed a lot in the past two years.

When Huo Hai invented the Phoenix Coronet and Bridal Casket, the princess and the queen allowed other women to wear it on their wedding day. Princess Wei Chang even allowed all women to wear hairpins at any time and announced that hairpins were no longer exclusive jewelry for the eldest princess.

Therefore, after that, wealthy families in Chang'an City who were getting married had to get a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, while ordinary families had to get a set of silver hairpin jewelry.

The store that sold these jewellery was originally Huo’s Jewelry, and it has now been transferred to Princess Wei Chang.

On the ninth day, Marquis Huo Wu was going to marry Princess Wei Chang, and almost everyone was watching.

Unlike the previous rules, this time Huo Hai had to go out early in the morning to pick up the bride.

All the people in Chang'an were waiting to watch the excitement.

Many people even chose to skip work on this day.

What a joke! Did you hear from the servants of the Huo family that the red envelopes filled eight large carts, each containing two hundred Huo family IOUs, were scattered around in every link for fun.

What a wicked capitalist! He actually threw money around for fun!
Who would still go to work? Grabbing one is like working two days!

In the morning, before Huo Hai left the house, Wang the eunuch had already arrived at the gate of Huo's house.

Seeing that the area several dozen meters wide in front of the Huo Mansion was almost crowded, Eunuch Wang also announced the decree in public.

"Marquis Huo Wu asked for your Majesty's will, everyone listen carefully."

"Since the Han Dynasty, most new civil and military officials were called Langguan. In Gu, those who passed the imperial examination in spring were called Langguan, meaning the person who was about to become an official. The Langguan would not bow to the emperor unless he was on his way to the palace, and would not bow to the officials. He could not recruit generals or impose punishments without the emperor's order."

Many people heard it and started discussing it.

A lot of things are going to happen this spring. The Han Dynasty has stopped selecting officials for two years, and there is a serious shortage of officials. This time the shortage will be made up through the spring imperial examination. Now the groom's will is indeed directional.

But what does this have to do with Marquis Huo Wu? Why would Marquis Huo Wu ask for this decree on the day of his wedding?
Wang the eunuch continued: "Marquis Huo Wu asked His Majesty to grant a decree that all men in the world be grooms on their wedding day, and enjoy all the privileges of grooms on this day."

This thing originally started in the Tang Dynasty, but the imperial examination started in the Han Dynasty, so the thing about the bridegroom naturally started in the Han Dynasty as well.

It’s just that the groom itself refers to the newly-graduated Jinshi, so before giving the groom this privilege, of course the privileges of the newly-graduated Jinshi must be stipulated first.

This is actually not a privilege, but a form of talent protection.

Because many of the people taking the imperial examinations were ordinary people, their opponents were most likely the children of various officials or aristocrats.

If they passed, the children of nobles would not.

But if they are gone, the ranking will drop.

Therefore, once the groom had this right, it meant that in the future, anyone who passed the imperial examination would not be allowed to be conscripted or punished unless the emperor issued an order himself.

And if a Jinshi himself committed a crime, the emperor would naturally know to order a severe sentence during the palace examination.

This will prevent new officials from being dismissed before they even take office.

Giving this right to all newlyweds is actually symbolic and can also avoid some troubles.

For example, if a wedding procession encounters officials or nobles on the way, they should give way.

With this regulation in place, if officials and nobles insist on being particular, they will be criticized instead.

This way, the wedding team won’t encounter any unpleasant things.

The people have worked hard all their lives, so there would be nothing wrong if things went well on this day, so Liu Che also gave his decree.

The key point is that this article is almost symbolic. It will not make the nobles feel that their rights have been violated, and it also guarantees the rights of the people.

"No wonder you said you were asking for an imperial decree. Marquis Huo Wu really doesn't need this decree. This decree is for us."

Someone reacted: "Since it is given to us, we should accept it!"

A group of people knelt down in a huge crowd.

"I accept your order!!!"

When Eunuch Wang saw that they had received the imperial edict, he wondered if something was wrong. After thinking carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong, and they were right in receiving the imperial edict.

At this time, a rumbling sound came from the distance.

Six locomotives rumbled here.

A large group of people were dumbfounded.

Even forgot to get up.

A closer look reveals that this locomotive is different from an ordinary train. It is not a train with iron wheels, but more like a steam engine placed on the frame of a horse-drawn carriage!

What is this? A steam engine carriage? There is no horse pulling it.
Is this a steam locomotive? A car?
The car at the front was driven by Jiang Buyi.

After he became Huo Hai's driver, he had already been notified by the researchers.

After the bigwigs of the research institute learned that Huo Hai was going to get married, they began to consider the issue of gifts.

But this gift could not be gold, silver or jewelry, because those were the things Huo Hai had the most and were also the most meaningless things.

But it can't be a research report.

Who wants to watch this kind of thing on their wedding day?

Besides, when there are good scientific research results, everyone rushes to publish them in scientific journals to avoid being published by others who are conducting simultaneous research later. That would be a big loss.

What could that be?
Someone thought about the car.

After the advent of trains, people began to imagine cars that could be driven on ordinary roads.

At the beginning, there was no progress in this regard. Although the chassis of the carriage was developing rapidly and was much more advanced than the chassis of the first generation of carriages, it was even more different from the original wooden carriage chassis. They did not seem to be products of the same era at all.

However, the steam engine could not be placed on a carriage because the wheels could not bear the weight.

However, after rubber grass appeared last year and some researchers began to follow Jin Bei to study rubber, some people thought of the steam locomotive project again.

Now that we have rubber and wheels, can't we make a steam locomotive? !

So they began to focus on the attack.

They even developed more advanced bearings.

Huo Hai didn't know this yet. He didn't know that they had already mastered the method of manufacturing precision bearings that could be used to swing a sledgehammer by combining thermal expansion and contraction.

But Huo Hai didn't need to know.

The researchers asked Huo Hai too many questions about car-related technologies.

If Huo Hai was really a local science expert, no matter how many questions they asked, Huo Hai would not abstractly assemble these things into a car in his mind.

However, Huo Hai is not a local. He knew about cars before he knew about these technologies.

So Huo Hai already knew what they were doing when they asked the questions.

But Huo Hai really didn't know that they prepared the steam car for today.

Six steam cars arrived at the gate of the Huo Mansion. Like the trains, they were painted black to avoid rust as much as possible.

A circle of white paint was painted on the front as a striking sign to remind people in front that there is a car here.

The entire front of the car stood tall, taller than the hood of the oldest car Huo Hai had ever seen.

This makes the driver's seat higher and the driver's seat is not behind the hood, but in front of the hood.

Of course, with this kind of power, what's the point of considering fluid dynamics or wind-breaking? This is just a flying brick, with low energy utilization and high torque.

The driver's seat was placed right above the front of the car, and behind him were two pipes, one for black smoke and one for water vapor.

The steam pipe spewed steam, causing the whistle to whistle.

"Woo~~~~~"

And at the back is the sedan designed like a carriage.

It can carry four people sitting opposite each other, and there is a long board at the back for storing things and spare coal.

This thing has almost no practical value.

But very shocking.

Trains always run on fixed tracks, which doesn't seem impressive enough. But steam cars came among the crowd.

It looks terrifying.

Not the ghostly kind of horror.

Rather, it's the horror of "Has the world come to this? What on earth have I missed?"

A car that doesn’t need to be pulled by horses and doesn’t have tracks, it can go wherever you want!
Everyone still remembers what the first train looked like. Now the railways are getting longer and longer, and there are more and more trains.

Maybe in the future, all the nobles on the street will have their own cars, and in the end, ordinary wealthy people will also be able to own their own cars?

There are even trackless steam trains on the road, which civilians can ride by buying tickets?!

In the Huo Mansion, Huo Hai, dressed in his clothes, was waiting at the door for the wedding party to gather.

But he heard the whistle, Huo Hai raised his eyebrows: "Huh? The train is here? Isn't that right?"

Butler Chen opened the main door and Huo Hai saw the steam car.

"car?!"

Even though Huo Hai had already known the news a long time ago, he couldn't help but become serious when he actually saw this guy.

In the first car, Jiang Buyi got off with a grin, then waved his hand: "Wu Hou! Everyone is here, it's time!"

Huo Hai straightened his clothes and said, "Give out the red envelopes!"

Asking for a monthly ticket!
