Chapter 620: The Golden Carriage

On September 5 of the first year of Qiansheng, the holy driving special train, which had been slowly tossing on the road for several days, finally slowly drove into the Jingshi Central Railway Station.

At this time, the Jingshi Central Railway Station was already completely blocked, one after another trains stopped at the platform, and then a large number of people quickly got off, and after the train left, another train entered.

The officers and men who arrived in the early stage were all officials or soldiers of the Guards, and after the soldiers of the Guards were stationed and took over the defense of the railway station and the surrounding area from the Eighth Division, Lin Ziran's special train entered the platform.

When Lin Ziran stepped off the train, Zhao Laoqi and other civil and military officials, who had been waiting here for a long time, knelt down on one knee and greeted His Majesty!

Lin Ziran stayed on the train for a few days, and the comfort of the train in these years was not very good, even if it was a modified special train, so his spirit was not very good.

But his expression was still calm, and he nodded slightly and said softly: "Flat!" ”

Lin Ziran didn't stay at the train station for too long, and soon got into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and the carriage he was riding in was also very booky, this was a carriage with a history of more than 400 years......

The history is longer than that of the previous Ji Dynasty, because this thing is a royal carriage built during the Zhou Dynasty of the Fifth Dynasty, and the main body of the vehicle is made of a large amount of gold, even the hardwood of the car is gilded, and it is also inlaid with many gems, and there is a huge pure gold peony flower on the top.

It is more than seven meters long and weighs several tons.

During the Zhou Dynasty, this carriage was the royal carriage of the Son of Heaven, and several generations of the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty rode in this carriage on major occasions such as weddings, enthronements, and great sacrifices.

Later, after the Ji family overthrew the Zhou dynasty and established the sixth dynasty, the Ji dynasty of the past dynasties also used this carriage on major occasions such as weddings, enthronements, and sacrifices.

After Lin Ziran overthrew the Ji Dynasty and established the Seventh Dynasty Lin Dynasty, this golden carriage also fell into the hands of the Lin Dynasty, and followed the tradition, and also used this golden carriage with a history of more than 400 years as the royal carriage.

Of course, if nothing else, Lin Ziran will not ride this carriage too many times in this life, after all, there are not many major occasions, and the Yongchang Emperor of the Ji clan has been the emperor for more than fifty years, and he has only ridden a dozen times in total.

In other words, you really let Lin Ziran treat this car as a daily car, I'm afraid that it won't take long for this golden carriage to fall apart completely, after all, this car seems to be golden all over, but it is still not made of pure gold, the main body is wood, just gold-plated.

This golden carriage with wood as the basic structure can still be in good condition for more than 400 years, and the normal use of it has a lot to do with the fact that in addition to proper maintenance, it also has a lot to do with the lack of actual use.

So this car is more of a symbol.

As for the ride, it's actually not very comfortable to ride.

After all, this is a carriage from more than 400 years ago, with an ancient design, and there is not even a spring, so if you go a little faster, you will be flustered.

Anyway, when Lin Ziran took this golden carriage all the way from the central railway station to the palace, it was a little uncomfortable, and this was still a specially repaired flat stone road along the way, and if it was an uneven road, it would be even more sad.

However, even if the stone pavement of the main road of the Beijing division is relatively well maintained, after the Lin Dynasty entered the city, in the process of repairing the entire city, it also focused on repairing several main roads in the city, especially the section of the main road from the railway station to the palace.

It was scheduled to be the main road through which the holy car passed, and it took a lot of effort to repair it.

However, this antique gold carriage with a history of more than 400 years is still a little bumpy when it walks.

Sitting on the golden carriage, Lin Ziran took his eyes away from the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs accompanying him, and did not look at the cavalry guards of the Guards who were riding Nanzhou war horses in front of him, but focused on the road itself and the scenes on both sides of the road.

Just judging from the road and the situation on both sides of the road, many of the Daheng cities that Jingshi and Lin Ziran have seen before are different, how to say it, they seem bigger and grander!

Just the main road they are walking on now can be seen, although the middle section of the road they walked is obviously higher than the stone road on both sides is only ten meters wide, but there are still fine gravel on both sides of the stone road that are tens of meters long.

The road from the train station to Nancheng is hundreds of meters wide!

Not only the main road, but also the roads on both sides of the main road are wide, straight, paved with cinders or gravel, or simply dirt roads, but still wide and straight.

On both sides of the main road, there are some two-story or three-story brick and stone buildings, all of which are some shops or apartments facing the street, and Lin Ziran also saw the drainage ditches with perfect masonry structures on both sides of the road.

It's a good trip!

This is Lin Ziran's first influence on Jingshi!

The main road and the road planning on both sides are also similar to some of the large cities that Lin Ziran saw before, the planned roads are straight, if you look down from the sky, then the cities you see are actually small squares.

This is also a special situation of the development of Daheng city in the past 100 years, that is, with the acceleration of urbanization into the city, the scale of the city is getting larger and larger, and it is difficult to fully meet people's travel needs on foot, so people generally take horse-drawn carriages to travel, and public carriages have only developed in the past 100 years.

In order to facilitate a large number of horse-drawn carriage travel, the urban planning of Daheng in the past 100 years has generally adopted a grid plan, and the roads are straight.

And in order to travel by horse-drawn carriage and avoid damage to the road surface, some roads will be planned very wide, the road adopts the mode of middle convex, many main roads or rich communities, the road will also be paved with stone slabs, and have drainage facilities, of course, most of the urban roads are without stone slabs, only cinders or simply dirt roads.

In terms of building type, institutional or commercial buildings, often take stone buildings, which is extended to the military needs of the early Daheng people, when the wars were fought around the fortress, some government buildings will also assume some military defense functions, generally use thick stone buildings, and tall and large, of course, more importantly, the stone resources of Daheng are very rich.

Moreover, marl has been used for firing natural cement hundreds of years ago, but this natural cement is effective and expensive, so it can only be used in all kinds of high-priced buildings.

Over time, there was a tradition that natural cement and stone buildings would be used in official or commercial establishments and in the residences of the elite.
