The bodies of the five sacrificed township soldiers have been collected and put into the coffin, Guo Zhiyuan personally carried the coffin and walked in the forefront, the township soldiers lined up in a neat queue to escort the martyr's coffin up the mountain, and when he was buried, Guo Zhiyuan personally covered the coffin with five red flags (note: because Guo Zhiyuan recruited soldiers in the name of regimental training, he could not design his own military flag, so he replaced it with a red flag), and when the coffin was put into the grave, Guo Zhiyuan bowed to the coffin and saluted, and said sadly: "Five brothers, you can rest in peace, Your parents and I will support you, and your children will be sent to the county school to study, so that they can become successful, you will go all the way, and I hope to still be able to fight side by side with you in the next life! ”

After Guo Zhiyuan finished speaking, Zhang Cheng shouted: "Salute the army!" Warning shots! ”

The villagers saluted in unison, and the four firearms roared to the sky!

"Rite over!"

The township soldiers put down their hands in unison, Guo Zhiyuan personally shoveled soil and filled the grave, Zhang Cheng, Chu Wan'er, and Fa Zheng also hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the township soldiers couldn't help but cry in the queue, and they all shed tears, these tears are not only for the departure of their comrades, but also for moving!

In this era, ordinary people died, most of them did not have coffins, that is, a bed of grass was swept away, a pit was dug and things were buried, and the tombstone was also carved with a wooden plaque. Today's funeral made the villagers feel for the first time that death can also be a kind of glory!

Especially looking at Guo Zhiyuan, who personally shoveled and shoveled the soil, he didn't even care that the official uniform on his body was soiled by the mud, they never thought that a county magistrate would personally bury a dead township soldier and carry the coffin in person, and a thought invariably rose in their hearts: With such a person, it is worth dying!

After the funeral, the morale of the township soldiers was even higher, almost crazy training, since the new army barracks have not been built, so for the time being, they also trained with the township soldiers, they did not participate in the funeral, but they are now not too far away from the township soldiers, and they will chat together during the training, hearing the villagers and the honorable to tell about the funeral, they are also dumbfounded, even very fascinated, thinking that if I die, there can be such a beautiful funeral that is not in vain, So they also trained madly with the villagers.

On the third day, Zhao Shizhen came to Guo Zhiyuan excitedly and told him that the four-wheeled carriage that would turn had been built, Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed, although he had seized a lot of money this time, but as soon as the stall was spread, the silver was spent like water, and now it was a little financially tight, and he had one more way to make a fortune when the four-wheeled carriage that could turn was built, and he hurriedly called Xu Guangqi and Bai Du to see the four-wheeled carriage that would turn.

Guo Zhiyuan's drawings were designed in the style of European four-wheeled carriages, but in order to be in a hurry, and the Sun family's carriage and horse shop were mainly used to transport goods, so there was no Gabon roof, but the craftsman still covered the seat with leather, which was filled with cotton wool, and it was very comfortable to sit on.

Xu Guangqi was not surprised because he had already seen the drawings in advance, but the whiteness was his eyes straight, and it took him a long time to wake up, and he said in surprise: "My lord, this is designed by you yourself?" It's amazing! I'm afraid that this four-wheeled carriage will shock the whole country! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said: "It's an exaggeration to shock the whole country, it's just a small skill of carving insects, I have already given it to Sun Chuan, you may not be able to say that I designed it!" Let's go and see Sun Chuan together! ……”

Bai Du was secretly frightened, with his shrewdness, he could naturally see the huge prospect of this four-wheeled carriage that could turn, but Guo Zhiyuan said that it was just a small skill of carving insects, and he gave it to Sun Chuan, it seems that Guo Zhiyuan has a great plan, but this also makes him feel more and more that his decision to be loyal to Guo Zhiyuan is too correct, and there is a head start with such a person!

Along the way, the people looked at the four-wheeled carriage that would turn in amazement, and Guo Zhiyuan did not see it, waving his hand and greeting the people from time to time. Under the astonished eyes of the people, the carriage galloped all the way to Sun's mansion, this time Sun Chuan didn't take a shelf, and immediately trotted to the gate to greet him after hearing the report of the family.

Seeing that Baidu was also there, a surprised light flashed in Sun Chuan's eyes, didn't he say that Baidu and Guo Zhiyuan were not in harmony? Why did you come too? However, his eyes were soon attracted by the four-wheeled carriage at the door, and he walked forward in three steps and two steps, and looked east and west with a look of surprise, and he couldn't put it down.

Guo Zhiyuan was secretly amused, and made an inviting gesture and said, "Old Sun, do you want to take a test ride?" Feel the difference between this car and the two-wheeled carriage......"

Sun Chuan didn't shirk either, he sat up, and there were two rows of seats on the opposite side of the carriage, and Guo Zhiyuan, Xu Guangqi, Bai Du, and Sun Chuan were just right, Guo Zhiyuan had the intention to show off, and waved to the driver driving in front of him: "You can run faster, how fast and how fast!" ”

When the carriage sped away, Sun Chuan was even more surprised, and said in surprise: "With such a fast speed, why does the old man only feel a little bump?" ……”

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan would not tell Sun Chuan that this was because of the installation of shock absorption devices, and said with a slight smile: "Sun Lao thinks that if this car is installed on a canopy and a beautiful interior, it is better than sitting in a sedan car?" How much silver can it be sold? ……”

Sun Chuan is such a shrewd person, his eyes lit up when he heard it, the reason why the dignitaries and nobles of this era like to sit in a sedan chair and do not like to take a carriage is mainly because the two-wheeled carriage is too frustrated, and bumpy, one is uncomfortable, and the other cannot show their nobility, but if there is this four-wheeled carriage, it will be different, both comfortable and majestic, and there is an incomparable advantage of sitting in a sedan chair--- fast! As long as the decoration is made beautifully, even if one sells for a few hundred taels of silver, it is more than someone to buy, anyway, these dignitaries are not bad for money.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuan's heart became hotter and hotter, this is a business that can make a lot of money! However, he immediately thought of a new question, frowned, and said, "But in this way, won't the technology of building a four-wheeled carriage leak out?" Other carriages and horses can also be imitated! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Old Sun, no one can make all the money in the world, the technology of this four-wheeled carriage will leak out sooner or later, what you have to do is to establish your own brand, this is what others can't imitate if they want to......"

"Brand?" Sun Chuan was confused.

Guo Zhiyuan is still not used to the words used by people in this era, and there are often some modern nouns blurted out, Sun Chuan naturally didn't understand, so he smiled and said: "For example, you can design a conspicuous and delicate logo on the body of the carriage, people will know at a glance that this is the car made by your Sun family's carriage and horse shop, those dignitaries and nobles buy cars to show their noble status, and your grandson's carriage and horse shop as the first car and horse shop to build a four-wheeled carriage, this advantage is irreplaceable by other carriage and horse dealers, As long as you make the four-wheeled carriage of your grandson's carriage and horse shop a symbol of dignity, it will naturally become their first choice for buying a car. ……”
