It really feels very comfortable!

The carriage was driving on the stone road, and there were no bumps at all, and it was quite comfortable to shake and shake.

"This car is like taking a boat, and it's not shocking to shake up......"

Zhu Yijun, who was sitting in the car, listened to the words of those people, and felt quite good, and occasionally set his eyes on Shi Yiwen. I muttered in my heart.

What is he trying to do?

Finally, after sitting back on Chang'an Avenue again, he got out of the car, and looked at the appearance of others getting on the bus in a hurry to grab a seat, Zhu Yijun's brows were furrowed, but he couldn't figure out Shi Yiwen's thoughts in his heart.

Seeing the doubts on the emperor's face, Shi Yiwen smiled and invited him upstairs.

When he arrived upstairs, looking at the lucky carriage outside the window, Shi Yiwen asked.

"Your Majesty, how is this carriage?"

"It's really more comfortable than a normal carriage to sit up."

Although he was full of doubts, Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry, he knew that Shi Yiwen would definitely explain later.

"Your Majesty, what would Your Majesty think if there were hundreds of such carriages running in this city?"

"Hundreds!"

Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen in surprise and asked rhetorically.

"Why do you want so much? Now so many people are sitting, that is, in the past, the big guys didn't look at such a big carriage, just looking at the freshness. ”

"Your Majesty, although the minister has only been here this time, but he also knows that people in Beijing travel, either sit in a sedan chair, or ride a horse, or a rickshaw pushing, the first two ordinary people can't afford to sit, neither can afford to raise a sedan chair driver, nor can they afford to raise a horse, as for the rickshaw, a trip is less than a dozen dollars, the vast majority of people, most of them can only go out by walking, so naturally there are a lot of inconvenient places. But if we open bus lines along the main street of the capital, such as from Xuanwumen to Jishuitan, from Andingmen to Chang'an Street, so from south to north, from east to west, open more than a dozen lines, run such a public carriage that can take more than ten or twenty passengers, not only convenient for the people to travel, but also can earn silver, two pennies, look at it is little, but it can accumulate a lot, the population inside and outside the capital is not less than one million, and the daily income is hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Wen, it is not impossible, in this way, I can earn hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver every day, which is not much, but it is better to last, and I can earn it for decades or hundreds of years......"

With a smile on his face, Shi Yiwen directly stated his plan.

earned 100,000 taels of silver in just three to five months...... It's not impossible, but if you want the emperor to be inseparable from you, you can't think of any opportunistic methods, and the public carriage is just one of them.

I can earn a few hundred taels of silver every day!

One earning is decades, such a long income, how can Zhu Yijun not be moved.

"But what if someone else does the same? What do you do if someone else makes such a carriage in imitation? ”

In his concern about Zhu Yijun, Shi Yiwen just smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, this carriage is not built by anyone, the wheels of the carriage need bearings, the carriage must use leaf springs, without bearings, their carriage will not be able to pull so many people, even if it is pulled, the horsepower is almost exhausted, there is no leaf spring carriage is bumpy, who else will do it?"

Technology.

Mastering the core is the most critical, of course, Shi Yiwen himself did not master the core technology, originally in Nanjing when the water wheel was built, because he had said to give others bearing patterns, so he deliberately found some information in the library, and finally found that even the 19th century horizontal roller bearing, with the current technology is difficult to copy.

The ball bearings on this carriage were found in the factory warehouse in the space used by Shi Yiwen, where dozens of boxes of ball bearings of various specifications were stored, and in the absence of suitable raw materials, even if others got the bearings, they could not be made. Naturally, a carriage could not be built.

Shi Yiwen's answer relieved Zhu Yijun.

"Well, this business is also a good business, and this carriage shouldn't be cheap."

Of course, Shi Yiwen heard what the emperor meant, and hurriedly explained.

"One hundred taels or so, to build a hundred carriages, it takes ten thousand taels, counting the expenses of buying land outside the city to set up a carriage and horse dealership, buying horses and hiring coachmen, there are twenty thousand taels of silver, it is enough, well, it takes about a month and a half to build a hundred carriages, according to His Majesty's share capital, there are three months, and it will be almost able to return to the capital......"

Although Shi Yiwen did not explain, Zhu Yijun's gaze at him also changed a little.

"You do have some brains in business, but this business only costs me a total of 10,000 taels of silver, you have to think of ideas, other silver, don't be idle, didn't you want to run a bookstore last time? This bookstore should also seize the time to ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister just wanted to talk to you about this."

Shi Yiwen said tightly.

"Looking for me? What's up? ”

"Your Majesty, it's like this, it's true that the minister wants to run a bookstore, but the bookstore can't earn much silver, and if you want to earn silver, you have to find another way, so the minister thought of running a newspaper."

"Running a newspaper?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen and asked.

"Is it like the imperial court's newspaper, that kind of newspaper?"

"It's not much, but it's still a little different from the Di Bao, the newspaper that the minister said, there are not only the news of the Imperial Court Newspaper, but also some new things that happened to the people of Beijing, such as the theft of the Zhang family, the Chen family is on fire, the Fang family is rich, and it is about the people in the city, after all, this newspaper is to be sold to the common people, if it is the appointment and dismissal of court officials, and the major events in the court, not everyone is willing to read it, right?"

"Oh,"

glanced at Shi Yiwen suspiciously, Zhu Yijun didn't know what this matter had to do with him.

"Your Majesty, if this newspaper is successfully run, it will be a very profitable thing."

"Hmph, it's only a dozen dollars to report a house on the street, and it's a lot of money for everyone in the capital, how much money can I earn?"

The guest muttered on the side.

"Father-in-law, this newspaper is not profitable, but if it is a copy per person, naturally there are shops willing to advertise in the newspaper, for example, this restaurant, he is not willing to spend a few taels of silver, so that everyone in the capital knows that his wine and food are good? There are more than 10,000 shops in Beijing, and with advertising, you can earn at least a few hundred taels of silver a day."

"Then how can you make every household in the capital read your newspaper?"

"The content is fresh, the price is cheap, you don't have to make money by selling newspapers, the key is advertising, as long as you have enough money."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yijun really couldn't think of anything to do with him.

"And what do you want me to do?"

"The minister wants to ask His Majesty to give him a Mobao who wants to ask His Majesty."
