"I'm older, and my body doesn't get to know each other as well as I did when I was younger."

After following Li Yuanjia into the house, Cheng Zhijie began to complain: "Especially on a cold day like this, can an old man like me ride a horse?" Definitely not! But going to ride in the carriage was also sinful, and the road was turned upside down for more than 100 miles, and the whole person was about to fall apart...... At this moment, my back is sore, and I can't stand up! ”

“……”

did not respond directly to the other party, Li Yuanjia just listened quietly.

Cheng Zhijie came to the door and wanted to order a four-wheeled carriage, which was completely within his expectations, and Li Yuanjia was sure that after the last winter hunt was over, the Lu Guogong in front of him would definitely let people try to make the four-wheeled carriage himself after he went back, but the craftsmen of the Lu Guogong Mansion couldn't make it, or the finished product couldn't satisfy him, so Cheng Zhijie came over again.

Having seen a comfortable four-wheeled carriage, would Cheng Cheng be willing to continue to ride on two wheels?

He is not short of money!

Merely......

"Old man? Can't straighten up with backache? ”

Looking at the old man in front of him who had just soaked for more than a hundred miles, still full of red light and full of energy, if the other party was not Lu Guogong, not a battlefield veteran who had beaten in the pile of dead people for I don't know how many times, Li Yuanjia might really kick him in the face!

Can you get a face?

It's just a carriage, or is it just going to be?

…… I won't give it to you if you ask for it!

With an indifferent face, Li Yuanjia took the tea prepared in advance, and after taking a breath, he sighed and said: "Lu Guogong, it stands to reason that you have made countless meritorious contributions for my Tang Dynasty in your life, just a carriage, and this king should let people do it and send it directly to your house!" Merely...... Alas, it's not that this king is reluctant, it's really difficult to make this four-wheeled carriage! Not only does it take a lot of manpower, but it also takes a lot of time! ”

"Ziyo!"

As soon as the words fell, the teacup in his hand had already been handed to his mouth, and the sound of Li Yuanjia drinking tea made Cheng Zhijie's eyelids jump a few times!

Listen, is this human talk?

People are old and refined, Cheng Zhijian can't hear the meaning of Li Yuanjia's words?

Obviously, people don't want to give it away for nothing!

However, Cheng Zhijie also knew about this, and he didn't feel that the other party was stingy or anything. After all, although he and King Han are ministers in the same palace, they can't go to the court a few times a year, and even if they go, they hardly communicate with each other...... To put it bluntly, the two families don't have much friendship, why do people open their mouths to give you things?

I knew it in my heart, so Cheng Zhijie nodded very dryly and said: "King, you just said how long it will take and how much money you can spend to make a four-wheeled carriage...... Well, it has to be exactly like yours! ”

"Hehe, it depends on your requirements."

After taking another sip of water, Li Yuanjia chuckled and said: "If the workmanship of ordinary wood is not so particular, one or two hundred pieces can be made into one, but if you want good wood, the workmanship is finer...... Five hundred! ”

"What? Five hundred? ”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Lu Guogong's eyes almost popped out, and the eyes that looked at the other party were a little unkind in an instant.

Damn, this kid is trying to blackmail Lao Tzu?

Cheng Zhijie is not a two-hundred-and-five, of course, he knows that even if a whole carriage is made of the best wood, it is only one hundred and eighty yuan. Add in the cost of a few carpenters' busy work, and you can go more than two hundred?

But this kid in front of him is five hundred times when he opens his mouth!

As for the carriage made of inferior wood and rough craftsmanship, we Lu Guogong naturally wouldn't consider it, because it would be too embarrassing!

It's a pity that under Cheng Zhijie's scorching gaze, Li Yuanjia was not moved at all, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, five hundred runs...... But Lu Guogong, don't be too expensive, if it were someone else, even if he took out five hundred yuan, I wouldn't let someone do it for him, that is, if you come to the door in person, this king will agree to come down...... Slippery! ”

Another sip of hot tea went down to his stomach, and Li Yuanjia only felt that his stomach was warm and comfortable.

In the era when a few big sons could buy a bucket of grain, 500 guan was undoubtedly an astronomical amount, so a carriage cost 500 guan, and Li Yuanjia's price was undoubtedly very dark. However, in his opinion, the account is not calculated in this way, and the problem of "R&D costs" must be taken into account, as well as various technical values that are beyond the times on the four-wheeled carriage.

How many years have passed since the "project" research and development of the four-wheeled carriage?

In the past few years, the human, material and financial resources invested by Li Yuanjia are not a small number. Not to mention a small four-wheeled carriage, there are also black technologies such as "steering system" and "suspension system", how can it be bought for 500 times?

It's 5,000, 50,000, and you can't do it!

Anyway, holding the teacup in his hand, Li Yuanjia was quietly waiting for the other party's response.

And it was precisely seeing his calm appearance that Cheng Zhijie suddenly remembered something after a short period of displeasure, and his frowning brows suddenly relaxed.

Five hundred yuan for a carriage, is it expensive?

Expensive, of course!

It can even be said that he was clearly slaughtered as a wronged leader.

But looking at the young man in front of him, whose expression had always been calm, Cheng Zhijie had already guessed what the other party meant...... At least he thought he had guessed what the other meant.

The Han Wangfu and the Lu Guogong Mansion should not have been in contact with each other.

However, after letting the craftsmen at home try for two months, they couldn't figure out the steering and stability of the four-wheeled carriage at all, Cheng Zhijie really had no choice but to come to Li Yuanjia in person - although his body is still very strong, after all, he is also dozens of years old, and he naturally hopes to be more comfortable when he has to walk more than 100 miles this time.

But Cheng Zhijie also knew that in fact, it was not suitable for him to have more dealings with King Han.

Even if His Majesty slowly relaxed his vigilance against his brothers, and now Li Shimin's country has been completely stabilized, Cheng Zhijie, a general in the army, has a close relationship with a prince, which is not a good thing after all.

"These five hundred guan are wonderful!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie's eyes gradually softened when he looked at Li Yuanjia again, and there was a faint hint of approval.

If King Han really gave him a carriage, Cheng Zhijie really didn't dare to accept it.

However, if the price is clearly marked, and it is a high price, then Cheng Zhijie will not have any psychological burden. After all, if the prince wants to win over the important ministers in the court, he can't do it by pitting the other party, right?

Li Yuanjia, who looked at this kind of look, was a little hairy, blinked his eyes, and couldn't understand what the situation was at all.

However, this did not prevent Li Yuanjia from putting down the teacup in his hand and continuing to smile: "Lu Guogong, this four-wheeled carriage is not easy to build, and it is expensive to make a single one, but if you make more, the price will be cheaper......
