In the next few days, Shi Yiwen seemed to be quite idle, but Liu Yu, as a steward, was running around, the family was mainly in business, and the family slave naturally had to do all kinds of things before and after the saddle.

Buying land, buying a house...... After three full days of busy work, and finally everything was almost implemented, Liu Yu invited the owner to enter the city again.

"This carriage can sit comfortably......"

Like anyone, from the moment he got into the carriage, Liu Yu couldn't help but praise, and even when he got off the train, he couldn't help but ask when he looked at the slight shaking of the carriage when he got off the carriage.

"Boss, will our carriage build this in the future?"

"Yes."

Shi Yiwen nodded, and then said.

"It's the big carriage parked in the Zhuangzi......"

Suddenly, Shi Yiwen's words stopped, looked up at the city wall behind him, and then looked at the open wasteland in front of him, and asked puzzledly.

"Liu Yu, our land is in the city?"

If it weren't for the city walls on the left and behind them, no one would have imagined that there would be such a large wasteland in the capital.

"Young master, according to the rules of the government, the carriages and horses have to pay money when they enter the city, and the carriages and horses are naturally located in the city, the owner, you see, the 200 acres of land we bought are located in the white paper workshop in the south of the city, except for the Chongxiao Temple a few miles away, there are only people living along Guangningmen Street, after all, although this is the city, but in the final analysis, it is still too biased, and you have to walk for half an hour to go inside......

Without waiting for Liu Yu to finish speaking, Shi Yiwen said anxiously.

"Liu Yu, you mean that there are still a lot of wastelands like this in the city?"

"Young master, this is not a wasteland, it is all owned by the owner, and it usually grows crops, young master, this southern city has been repaired for decades, but it is more lively on both sides of the road between Guangning Gate and Guangqu Gate, almost half of the land in the south is such idle land, no way, the road is far away, other places are tight, the total proximity is not ......"

Lu Yuan is fine!

Isn't there a carriage?

Suddenly, looking at the ice-covered wasteland in his sight, Shi Yiwen's breathing became a little short. Such a large area, and it is still in the city, as long as the transportation problem is solved, then these places are not ...... Prime location.

I'll go!

Get rich!

At this moment, Shi Yiwen suddenly had an idea - perhaps, it is not bad to be a real estate developer.

Looking at the surrounding wasteland, the real estate developers who made a lot of money in later generations immediately came to mind.

"How much money did we spend on the 300 acres of land we bought?"

After calming down, Shi Yiwen asked calmly.

"Young master, the land here is more expensive than that outside the city, even in such a place, one mu almost costs nearly five thousand taels."

"Less than twenty taels, so cheap?"

"Young master, this is still cheap, and if you put it outside the city, it will only be eight or nine taels of silver at most, after all, it is dry land that cannot be watered."

"If the place here is so cheap, why doesn't anyone buy land and build a house here?"

"Young master, the land here is cheap, but the problem is too far, from our side of Zuo'anmen to Xuanwumen, more than ten miles out, such a far place, who buys land to build a house, not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are not willing to sit in a sedan chair for an hour, don't you say?"

After the words fell, Liu Yu looked at the young master, and then looked at the carriage behind him, and naturally thought of the carriage in the Zhuangzi that could seat more than a dozen people.

"Young Master, do you think about it...... I want to buy land and build a house here, don't we want to put this car and horse shop on hold? ”

"The carriage and horse shop has to be done, and it has to be done, but ......"

Looking at the land with only a small number of houses and villages on the left and right, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"But we also want to buy land, how much land is there in the south of this city?"

When he said this, Shi Yiwen grinned, this is not an opportunity in front of him.

But of course, you can't be in a hurry to buy land, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and buying so much land with money at once may cause something, and things have to be done slowly. First of all, we still have to solve the traffic, or we still have to run the car and horse dealership first.

Although there were carpenters in the village itself, due to the lack of manpower, Shi Yiwen finally subcontracted the public carriage to the carpentry and carriage shops inside and outside the city, and asked them to process the carriages, wheels and other parts on their behalf, of course, according to the unified drawings. However, the final assembly was assembled in the car and horse shop of the house.

However, the houses of the "Jie Cheng Public Carriage Company" are very simple and simple, but they are temporary houses made of bamboo and reeds, and even the surrounding fence is completely covered, but even so, the craftsmen in the car shop are already busy assembling the wheels and carriages sent by each row into a complete vehicle.

"You see, this leaf spring is installed in this position of the carriage, connected to the wheels......"

In the factory, Shi Yiwen personally instructed the workers to assemble the carriage, the core of the carriage leaf springs and ball bearings are installed in the car dealership, outsourcing only the carriage and wheels, but even so, the relatively light Western-style carriage wheels still benefit the Beijing car dealers a lot. But that's about it.

In fact, for the structure of the public carriage, in addition to the information obtained from a few pictures, Shi Yiwen borrowed more from the structure of the car, but the difference between the two is not big, under his guidance, soon the craftsmen in the car shop have been able to skillfully assemble the carriage.

After all, there are more than a dozen workshops in the capital for the car industry, and the output of leaf springs limits the production speed of the carriage, although Shi Yiwen got the spring steel from the space, but the speed of making the spring steel into leaf springs is not fast, but only two or three leaf springs can be made every day, but as the craftsmen become more and more skilled, they can soon create three or four sets of leaf springs every day.

After almost a month of hard work, the 100 wagons of the public carriage shop were almost complete, and unlike the original open-top carriages, the new carriages were covered with cloth canopies to protect them from the wind and snow.

On the night of the first day of the lunar month, that night, in the big courtyard of the Jiecheng car dealership, Shi Yiwen looked at the hundred brand-new carriages in the courtyard, but he was a little excited for a while.

A month ago, the so-called "public carriages" were just an idea, but now 100 carriages have been built and are only waiting to be put into operation tomorrow.

"Childe, tomorrow is the second day of the new year, but it's a good day."

Standing behind Childe, Wu Cai said with a smile.

"Well, it's indeed a good day, whether this can be done or not depends on tomorrow......"

Nodding, Shi Yiwen instructed the master of the car dealership again.

"The horses are going to be fed enough tonight, so we must not delay tomorrow's business. Two pounds of bean cake per horse......"
