Chapter 442: Driving the Emperor to Tour
Li An drove leisurely in front, Li Longji leaned on the back seat, holding Yang Yuhuan with one hand, and easily enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the back garden, while Yang Yuhuan kept talking, directing Li An to adjust the direction, and behind the sports car, followed by a large group of eunuchs, palace maids and guards.

"Li Shilang, what do you think of the scenery in this back garden?"
Li Longji said while leisurely looking at the surrounding scenery.
"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of flowers and plants in the garden, including almost all the rare species in the world, there are many flowers and plants, Wei Chen has never seen them in his life, and the scenery is naturally not said, it is very beautiful."
In addition to praise, Li An still praised, and this is all from his heart, the emperor's back garden is naturally a collection of exotic flowers and plants all over the world, reasonably deployed by specialized craftsmen, carefully pruned, and it is impossible not to be beautiful.
"Oh, there are also flowers and plants that the well-informed Li Shilang doesn't know, say it and listen to it, which flowers and plants Li Shilang doesn't know?"
Li Longji asked with a smile.
Li An just said casually to show the variety of flowers and plants in the emperor's back garden, but unexpectedly, Li Longji actually asked, so he looked aside and said, "Your Majesty, the white flower next to it, Weichen doesn't know it." ”
"The white flower is a mandala, this is a cherished flower seed that is paid tribute by the poison country, and it is not surprising that Li Shilang does not know it."
Li Longji hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, what kind of flower is this red one?"
Li An pointed to a red rose and asked with a smile.
"Li Shilang, this is my Tang Dynasty rose! How come you don't even recognize roses? ”
Li Longji said with some displeasure.
"Of course Wechen has heard of roses, but Wechen doesn't like flowers and plants very much, and I haven't seen this kind of flower in the other courtyard, so naturally I don't know it."
Ang Lee lied.
"Li Shilang even knows exactly what the plants in the Americas look like, how can he not know the roses that are very common in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that few people will believe it."
Li Longji said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, there is no perfect person in the world, and Sage Kong can't cook!"
Li An said.
"San Lang, look, all the peony flowers are blooming, and we take care of this large piece of land personally."
Yang Yuhuan commanded the traffic for a long time, and finally saw a large area of blooming peonies, and his heart suddenly improved.
And the so-called personal care, just they took care of it casually, most of the dirty work was done by the eunuchs and palace maids, and the little work they did was almost negligible.
"It's not been a few days? A large area of peony flowers is actually in full bloom. ”
Li Longji's interest was very high.
Li Ang was also in a very good mood when he saw the flowers in the garden, especially the feeling of driving around, which was very refreshing.
"How does it feel to take a ride in a sports car in the back garden?"
Seeing that Li Longji was in a good mood, Li An asked.
"Okay, it feels very good, it's more stable than riding a carriage, Li Shilang, how much can you drive this sports car at the fastest."
Li Longji is very satisfied and cares a lot about the top speed of the sports car.
"Your Majesty, the speed of the sports car is very fast, at the fastest, it is much faster than the train, three or five times faster than the galloping war horse, and it can continue to maintain this speed until the fuel runs out."
Ang Lee opened his mouth to introduce.
"Oh, it's actually three or five times faster than a war horse, how far can you run with a full tank of fuel at that time."
Li Longji asked with concern.
"Well, you should be able to run all the way from the capital to Luoyang! In addition, the size of the fuel tank can be modified, and the larger the fuel tank, the farther it will naturally run. ”
Ang Lee said.
"Li Shilang, drive faster, the people behind, you don't have to follow, this is the palace, there will be no danger."
Li Longji felt that driving a sports car too slowly was not interesting at all, but it was interesting to drive fast.
When Li An heard the order, he increased the speed slightly, but the road in the back garden was relatively narrow, so this speed could not be raised, and he could only barely maintain it at a certain level.
After the speed of the car gradually increased, the feeling of this sports car came up, only to see the beautiful scenery around it constantly running backwards, the warm breeze blowing people's faces, making people feel particularly comfortable, the pleasure of pulling the wind, so that Li Longji closed his eyes slightly, and leaned back on the seat, feeling this comfortable feeling.
Yang Yuhuan was even more bold to lie in Li Longji's arms, not caring about Li An's feelings in the front row, after all, this is the palace, Li Longji is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what do they do, they didn't dare to say anything, even, when they snapped at night, there were eunuchs outside eavesdropping, and it was recorded on the emperor's living note.
After going around three or five times, Li Longji actually fell asleep, and Yang Yuhuan, who was beside him, saw that Li Longji was asleep, so he also fell asleep and snuggled in Li Longji's arms.
This sweet scene, through the reflector, was seen in the eyes of Li An, who was driving, and smiled enviously.
After another meeting, Li An felt a little tired, and whispered: "If Your Majesty is tired, it is better to go back to the palace to rest!" The spring breeze is cold and easy to catch a cold. ”
Startled by Li An, Li Longji opened his eyes slightly, then closed his eyes again, and said, "I like this feeling, Li Shilang continues to open, just slow down." ”
After saying that, he went back to sleep.
Ang Lee can understand what Li Longji feels at the moment, after all, this kind of feeling, Ang Lee also experienced it in his previous life, it is indeed very comfortable, sometimes, people are not sleepy when lying on the bed at home, but they will sleep very soundly in a different environment.
And this feeling is already present when people are just born, such as a small baby, when it is held in the arms of a very good sleep, once it is put into the crib, it immediately begins to cry, until it is re-embraced by an adult, it will fall asleep quietly.
Since the emperor likes to sleep while driving, Li An has to reluctantly be a good driver in front, although Li An also wants to sleep for a while, but the driver who drives the car can't sleep, and the car will be over if it rolls over.
The emperor slept very soundly, and Li An was not easy to disturb, so he could only keep going around in the back garden, at this time, Li An really regretted letting the original driver leave, if he let the driver just drive, Li An himself sat in the co-pilot's position, and he could also follow Li Longji's example, close his eyes, and sleep while driving, how good it would be.
It's a pity that Ang Lee had to pretend to drive himself and let the original driver go back to the R&D center.
Li Longji was addicted to sleep and never woke up, and Yang Yuhuan next to him also closed his eyes and gently snuggled in Li Longji's arms, with a happy expression.
Li An suddenly had a very desperate feeling, if he slept until night, wouldn't he be tired to death, but he had to pretend to be forced first, and now he was retributed.
Li Longji is really very good at sleeping, it lasted for more than two hours, Li Longji slowly woke up, saw that it was late, relaxed his waist, and said: "I actually slept for so long in one breath, Li Shilang worked hard, stop in the dormitory!" It's time for me to get out of the car. ”
"Your Majesty just sleep well, Weichen is not hard."
Li An opened his mouth and said, in fact, he was very bitter in his heart, how could he not be tired after driving a sports car for more than two hours in a row.
After the sports car stopped, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan got out of the car with the help of the eunuch.
"By the way, Li Shilang, this sports car is very good, I like it very much, so I will stay in the palace, Li Shilang will build more, all kinds of models, I need them, and when I leave the palace in the future, I will not take the carriage, and all of them will be changed into cars."
Li Longji opened his mouth and asked.
"Your Majesty rest assured, Wechen will do his best, Your Majesty is busy, Wechen will retire first."
Li An had no choice but to walk back, in addition, after going back, he had to send a few more drivers to the palace, after all, not everyone can drive a sports car, and people who have not learned driving skills cannot drive casually, and there will be danger.
After returning to the R&D center, Ang Lee began to carry out the relevant planning of mass production, now the technology of the car has matured, and the oil is also in a steady stream of mining and refining, with this premise, the large-scale popularization of the car has become possible, as long as it is manufactured, it will be recognized and sought after by the aristocracy, so as to improve the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Convertible sports cars, private cars with medicinal jade windows, and various functional vehicles all quickly entered the stage of mass production, of course, this batch is not very large, and it is mass production in units of 100 units.
After seeing the advanced performance of the car, many rich children who used to like to ride a bicycle all aimed at the car, and took pride in being the first to get the car, and the small batch of cars was almost not produced, and it was already ordered.
The highway construction of Datang has been going on for several years, although the road condition in most areas is very bad, but the road near the capital is still very good, so the car is very useful in this area of the capital, at least it is much more flexible and convenient than the train, and it is the best way to travel in addition to the train.
After a small batch of cars was manufactured, they immediately entered the homes of the high nobles, and of course, a considerable number of them entered the imperial system and the imperial palace, after all, officials at all levels needed transportation to travel, let alone the emperor.
Of course, all of these cars were for high-ranking officials to travel, ordinary officials and errand runners still needed to travel on horseback, of course, more than half of them were converted to bicycles, after all, bicycles are cheaper than horses, and the maintenance cost is lower, which can greatly reduce the burden on the imperial court.
After the car gradually entered Chang'an City, the atmosphere of the capital has changed again, before a large number of bicycles, is a beautiful landscape, and now, the shuttle of cars, has become a new beautiful landscape, giving people the feeling that Datang is more advanced, more rich.
In the direction of the east and west cities, with the operation of high-power freight vehicles, all kinds of goods can be transported faster and better to the places that need to be transported, which greatly increases the circulation efficiency of commodities and makes people's lives more convenient and beautiful.
The cars supplied to the royal family are technically more safe and reliable than ordinary cars, but the biggest difference is that the appearance and paint are more gorgeous, and the interior decoration is also all the best materials, that is, safer, more luxurious, and higher grade.
In order to make it easy for ordinary people to drive cars, just like riding bicycles and horses, under the arrangement of Ang Lee, the imperial court established a professional driving school to cultivate professional driving talents, ordinary people can learn, especially the servants of aristocratic families, who are the most in need of learning driving skills, and many rich families who like to go for a ride also need to learn driving skills, so that they can drive cars as they like.
With the gradual increase in vehicles, new problems have also emerged, that is, the problem of traffic order, the previous traffic, are humble to each other, and after the vehicle is very large, many impatient people will rush to the road, which will cause traffic congestion, and even car accidents.
The phenomenon of car accidents was extremely common in later generations, but in the backward era of Datang, it was originally rare, but now it appears frequently.
This is a side effect of the progress of the times, and it is also the change that Ang Lee has brought to Datang, and since this kind of problem has arisen, it is natural to find a way to solve it.
In fact, as early as when laying the highway, Li An had already formulated a lot of traffic rules, and even, drew a yellow line in the middle of the road, stipulating that you should go on the right side, but this traffic rule is not something that everyone is willing to abide by.
When there are not many vehicles, even if you do not obey the traffic rules of driving on the right, there is not much of a problem, but when there are many vehicles and the speed is relatively fast, you can't be so willful, once willful will lead to extremely serious consequences, that is, the occurrence of car accidents.
Anyway, since the car gradually entered the aristocratic class of the Tang Dynasty, the frequency of car accidents has increased many times, and many innocent lives have died because of car accidents.
The car is still in continuous production, and after many improvements, the speed will become more rapid, so that in the future, Datang will have more and more high-speed cars, if the traffic order can not be effectively implemented, the frequency of car accidents in the future is likely to increase several times, thus bringing endless pain to many people.
Therefore, it is imperative to formulate strict traffic order and implement punishment measures, and it cannot be delayed for a moment, and the intensity of this punishment must be large enough, otherwise, it will not play much role at all.
Of course, the formulation of specific traffic rules requires the efforts of various departments of the imperial court to coordinate, and it is necessary to ensure that after the rules are formulated, the occurrence of car accidents can be mitigated and traffic violations can be effectively controlled.
