I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 221 This is the Carriage

One person counts the short, and everyone counts the long. This time fully proved this sentence.

Zhao Xi didn't think about Xiangguo Temple at first, he didn't understand it.

It was Mr. Lu who casually mentioned that sentence, which made Zhao Xi ready for it.

The whole day today, the purpose of Zhao Xi's coming here is to wait for this to come out.

Merchants have never been Zhao Xi's focus.To ask whether a merchant is rich, the answer is yes.But if you want to ask merchants if they have any spare money, that's not necessarily the case.

Most of the money from merchants is used to collect goods.It's just that the purpose of profit-seeking makes them reluctant to let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.

After searching for half a year, Zhao Xi didn't pay attention to them... I just don't know if this group of merchants would all go for tofu if they knew what His Highness the Crown Prince was thinking.

What Zhao Xi didn't expect was that there was already an investment company like the later generations... Xiangguo Temple.

After listening to Lu Gong's work and Han Zhen's explanation of Xiangguo Temple, Zhao Xi definitely had to define... an investment company.

Now, I probably saw that the new currency looks good, and I'm ready to exchange it, so I can put a golden body on the statue in the hall?
Zhao Xi squinted his eyes and didn't pay attention to the gloomy faces of the husbands.

This is what really deserves to be killed!
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

Zhao Xi was a little distracted, and Fu Bi shouted twice before he came back to his senses.

"Your Highness, do you need the court to deal with it?"

Fu Bi didn't mind the court's intervention at this time, and he could temporarily suspend the exchange for any excuse.

Stopping the exchange will make people suspicious, but it is better than not being able to exchange it on the spot.

"Master Fu, gentlemen, don't worry... Zhongzheng, send a signal!"

Only then did Wang Zhongzheng have a chance to poke his head into the window...then he took out a long bamboo pole from his pocket and lit it with a torch.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

Three beeps, flowers exploded in the sky... It wasn't that Zhao Xi wanted to pretend, but it was time-consuming and laborious to send people back and forth, and it was not as direct as the signal firecracker.

The first thing I heard was the sound of horseshoes. In the streets and alleys, the sound of neat horseshoes can be heard far away.

Then I saw a carriage pulled by four horses rushing out from behind the monks' ox carts.With four wheels, it looks like a small house, and its size seems to be not much smaller than a house.

Just sticking to the side of the monk's ox cart, moving forward quickly...

The carriage has been designed for a long time. Zhao Xi and Su Song mentioned some concepts such as bogies, steel wheels and so on.

As for bearings, Zhao Xi thought they didn't exist in this era, but they did.

Anyway, Zhao Xi said everything he knew.

Unexpectedly, Su Song really came up with such a car.I have to say that Su Song is really talented.

Just this car, with a little decoration, is more than enough to serve as my father's chariot.

Manganese steel wheels... Now the guard battalion uses manganese steel for everything. The entire vehicle is almost made of manganese steel.

If you use it as a chariot, you don’t have to worry about safety. Lock the door, unless it is carried away and melted. The current swords, guns, swords and halberds can survive for half a day if you cut them up casually.

"This... is this a carriage?"

This is of course a carriage, or a carriage that will be born and will be highly respected.

"Your Highness, how much can this car carry?"

Fortunately, after all, he is a husband, and he always thinks about affairs, not enjoyment.

"Four to five thousand catties."

Zhao Xi said less, and only roughly said so.

With such a carriage, it shouldn't be a problem to pull two or three tons of goods.It's just that I haven't done any experiments... The car was born, even the guard battalion has a lot of knowledge, and they are not willing to use it to solicit goods.

reluctant!
"My lords, the design and manufacture of the carriage was originally for the rail carriage. Since the track was not completed, many ideas were concentrated on this carriage."

The track is the key point, no matter whether the husbands like to listen or not, Zhao Xi will always mention it whenever there is an opportunity.

"The rail carriage is the same as this one?"

"The size of the rail carriage should be two or three times the size of this car, maybe three or five times."

Don't ask, don't talk.Zhao Xi doesn't know what everyone thinks, and he can't tell, they are all old fritters.

What can be said, what should be said, Zhao Xi has said it, and he has done it.As for the court...he didn't hold out much hope.

Wait a little longer, the court will change, if you don't change yourself, change it.Zhao Xi is not in a hurry, there is plenty of time.

At this time, in the entire Fuqian Street, no one was thinking about the old and new coins.

Pleasure is not a shameful thing in today's state, let alone merchants.

When the carriage appeared, no one thought about how many new coins the carriage could hold, but thought: How can I own such a carriage.

Merchants, for business profit, are often on the road.

horse riding?There is a shortage of horses in the country, but there is no shortage of merchants, especially non-war horses, which can be obtained.The key is to travel long distances, and riding a horse is tiring.

The most common ones in Guochao are ox carts, and there are also horse carts, but the horse carts are not the same as this one.

Even the monks of Xiangguo Temple stopped and looked at the carriage running past... Xiangguo Temple should have such a carriage.

I think a lot.

The carriage stopped in front of the exchange point, and the guards on duty were stunned, while the driver got out of the carriage and turned to the back of the carriage... With a click, the door opened.

There is still a door inside, or an iron board is more appropriate, and there are many iron rods in a mess.

"Hey... stupid, what are you looking at, come here and unload the money."

It was definitely not the exchange officer, but the forbidden army on duty.

It was close, and the ordnance was put aside, but I didn't know what to do, and I was still watching in a daze.

"What are you looking at? Put down the baffle..."

No way, a bunch of idiots.The driver casually pawed and pulled on both sides of the iron plate, pulled the fools, let them hold the baffle, and slowly put it down...

The fender is still attached to the car, while the other side is already on the ground.

The driver pointed to the vertical bar he saw, which meant to let these soldiers pull out...

It was pulled out, and it was placed very neatly. Stacks of new coins seemed to be stuck between each stack. The stack of coins was so high that it didn't wobble at all...

This is what we need too!Both merchants and monks think so.

The money strung together by a rope can’t be kept for a long time before the rope breaks and the copper coins are scattered all over the ground. This happens every once in a while, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If you have such a set at home...

The soldiers understood, and then worked very hard... unloading the coins.

They are all lazy people, but they are quite active at this time.Not because it's money...it doesn't matter how much money there is.It's not that there are Shangguan watching, the officials who exchange the new currency are not affiliated with them.

What really makes them positive is that this thing is very novel, and this carriage is very expensive.Ordinary people don't have this opportunity at all!

The new coins were unloaded like this, and piled up in front of the public so casually...

But everyone's thoughts were focused on the carriage, and on these novelties that matched the carriage.
