Gu Bei pulled the car door and pointed to the decoration in the carriage: "Look at this cushion, do you know what it is made of?" This is the use of Western luxury fur, when catching this animal, you must be careful and careful, there can be no damage, as long as there is damage, this fur will be wasted, you come to see, come to touch. The most important thing is that such a large piece of fur can be rolled up and carried around, and it doesn't feel weight at all, isn't it? ”

Brother Zhong Gongzi was a little dumbfounded, this thing looks smooth and smooth, is it really so rare?

Gu Bei pointed to the two wall lamps in the carriage again: "This is a wall lamp carved from a whole piece of crystal, it is simply ingenious." ”

The sons don't know what to say anymore......

In the end, Gu Bei took out a horizontal knife from home and slashed it on the wheel hub, but there were only shallow traces left on the wheel.

"This wheel is made of stainless steel made by the military's iron-making workshop, this kind of sword made of stainless steel, sharpening iron like mud and blowing hair, and the most important thing is that you have ever seen this kind of four-wheeled carriage underground?"

The princes shook their heads again, and their expressions were a little numb.

"Do you say, 'Is this carriage worth fifteen,000 taels of silver?'

"Value."

The heads of the sons nodded like chickens pecking rice.

"Since it's worth it, shouldn't you, as a noble family, have a unique carriage?"

"Gu Xiannan, I ordered."

"I'm going to do it too,"

"I want to ......"

All the sons shouted first, who doesn't want to have such a car pretend, with this four-wheeled car walking on the street, there is no face, order, must be ordered, even if the price is high.

These numbers are astronomical for the average person. But as the sons of aristocratic families, the family can't take out eight thousand, and the eight thousand may be squandered once in the Qingguan.

What's more, if you order this car, you don't have to pay for it in the future, you can pay for it all the time......

Besides, if such an expensive four-wheeled vehicle is too cheap, won't it lose their value?

Gu Bei said approvingly: "All of you sons are bold people with great vision. ”

Next, sign and wait for the product to be picked up when it is made. But then again, this four-wheeled carriage is really tasteful and classy!

All the sons happily signed and left Baifu with a smile, looking forward to getting the goods as soon as possible.

When Gu Bei hummed a little song and returned to the courtyard, he had just sat down, the chair was not yet solid, and the next person came to inform the old man that he was invited.

Gu Bei poured a few big sips of tea, and after talking for so long just now, his throat was about to smoke. After pouring a few large sips of tea, Gu Bei went straight to the front hall.

When Bai Luoshi gave him the drawings, he didn't pay much attention to it. When I heard about the load capacity of the four-wheeled vehicle, I was immediately shocked.

Gu Bei didn't think about the four-wheeled carriage yet, and the old man immediately realized the value. specially asked people to find Xiao Ran to verify.

When Gu Bei came to the hall, the old man couldn't wait to ask, "Gu boy, this four-wheeled carriage is your masterpiece?" ”

Gu Bei nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, it was created by the kid on a whim." ”

"How much can this carriage carry? What is the speed? ”

"Four horse-drawn carts, which can carry thirty stones, can accelerate with all their might, and can run eighty miles in each hour, and it is estimated that it can run three hundred miles in one day."

"Sss Gu Bei's answer made Bai Batian couldn't help but gasp.

Although the national strength of Daxia is weakening day by day, its territory is vast, and transportation is very inconvenient.

The capacity of two-wheeled vehicles and solo carriers is limited, so there is a saying that food cannot be transported for thousands of miles.

Not to mention, when fighting against the Turkic state, it was necessary to transport enough baggage supplies for the army, which was the biggest headache for the entire court of Great Xia.

Food, weapons, and armor are not lacking, but transportation is difficult, which makes it difficult for the army to be supplied all the time.

Moreover, the transportation difficulties of Great Xia also caused a decline in actual dominance. Some cities near the border gates actually have very limited actual control areas, which is caused by the lack of military strength.

If this four-wheeled carriage can carry so much weight and be so fast, it will not only play a role in military affairs, but also bring earth-shaking changes to all aspects of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, when Bai Batian got the drawings, he was very excited, and only he, the commander who led the troops to fight, could understand the importance of the carriage.

At the beginning, if there was such a four-wheeled carriage, Liang Si ...... Nor will it ......

With the transportation of four-wheeled carriages, not only can all kinds of military supplies keep up, but also form an elite team to arrive on the battlefield to support first.

Once this drawing is handed in, it is another great achievement. Bai Batian became more and more unable to understand his grandson-in-law.

The waterwheel before it, and the zigzag plow, and the four-wheeled carriage......

There are countless things invented in the commercial field, such as heavenly fragrance dew, Chinese wine, soap...... It can be said that he is a little expert in collecting money.

Bai Batian sighed: "Gu boy, you are really amazing, such a clever thing, it is difficult for you to come up with it." ”

Gu Bei's face was slightly red when he was praised, and he was really a little ashamed to copy the Western four-wheeled carriage.

Bai Batian asked curiously, "Why can the load of this carriage increase so much with two more wheels?" ”

Uh, how do you answer that question?

It seems that there is a physical pressure problem, but the four wheels are more evenly stressed than the two wheels, and the pressure on the ground is small, so the horse is easy to drag?

In addition, the load on the wheels is not borne by the horse, and the horse can pull the cart with all its might.

It seems that this is the truth, Gu Bei can only explain it like this, but how should he explain it to his husband? Could it be that to popularize physics knowledge to him, what is pressure?

Gu Bei blinked, and finally held back a sentence: "A horse has four legs, and it can run faster than a human with two legs, a truth ......"

Well, he's just messing around, why don't you say that the turtle also has four legs?

Fortunately, the old man was just curious and didn't want to study it, so he didn't continue to ask this question.

"Okay, Gu boy, go down! The four-wheeled carriage was very much to the old man's liking. ”

Uh, that's a rush? Isn't there any reward?

"Grandpa, when you go to the court, if there is a reward, can you ask for something for the kid, to be precise, the right to operate." Gu Bei was not in a hurry to leave, and asked Ai Ai.

Bai Batian's eyes widened, although this four-wheeled bicycle was meritorious, the reward was not yet scored, so he wanted to ask for a reward.

Why don't you listen to what this kid wants to say, know what you want, and ask, "What reward do you want from this kid?" ”

Gu Bei smiled and replied cautiously: "Hehe, the kid is not very demanding, just give me Ying Tiancheng." ”

His words made Bai Batian almost choked, and thanks to what this kid said, give him Ying Tianfu?

This is an attempt to rebel!

When Gu Bei saw the old man's glare, he knew that he hadn't made it clear, so he hurriedly explained: "The kid wants to set up a carriage and horse shop and use a four-wheeled carriage to run transportation, and the kid means that he will hand over the transportation of the merchants in Yingtianfu City to me." ”

"Tell me clearly!"

"It is to respond to the franchise in Tianfu, which should be used by all the merchants in Tianfu to transport goods in four-wheeled carriages, and can only find the carriage and horse shop established by me, do you think this can be done?" Gu Bei asked cautiously.

Ying Tianfu City is the second most prosperous and wealthy city in Great Xia in addition to Shuntian Mansion, as long as the four-wheeled carriage transportation business in Ying Tianfu belongs to him, it will not make a lot of money.

Bai Batian understood his plan, his face was relieved a little, and a cold snort came out of his nostrils: "Hmph, don't seek to be motivated!" If you're talented, why don't you go to the exam to gain fame? Grinding these businessmen every day is really a shame for my white mansion. ”

Gu Bei could only bear his words obediently, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Bai Batian didn't want to teach him a lesson, but he just looked at this kid's face, a little unhappy, and snorted and said: "Your condition, the old man can play, as for whether you agree or not, it depends on Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Bei immediately knew that it was half, and such a small requirement was really not a condition compared to the four-wheeled carriage.

"Then the kid will thank grandpa."

"Okay, the conditions depend on His Majesty's wishes, and Old Man Xie is useless. But the old man should thank you for the people of Daxia. Bai Batian said with emotion.

With this four-wheeled carriage in Great Xia, how much conscription can be reduced, and how much grain and horses can be saved, this matter is a matter of thousands of years!

Gu Bei saw that his goal had been achieved, so he gave the old man a salute and left the White Mansion to go to the carriage and horse shop.

In the past few days, the carriage workshop has finally produced 100 carriages under the overtime of the carpenters, and when the delivery is made, the carriage and horse shop is officially opened.

With Gu Bei's approval, Gu Cheng pawned a large yard as a business name in the alley not far from Taodrunkui on Qinhuai Street, although the yard is a little dilapidated, it is very suitable for use as a carriage and horse dealership, the place is large, and there are many houses that can be converted into stables.

Now there are hundreds of horses in the yard, and many people are hired to raise them, so many horses, and the beans used for a day also cost a lot of money, plus the cost of the groom, the daily expenses are more than dozens of taels.

In addition to grooms and horses, the higher cost is the splashes in front of you.

These Gu Cheng people are recruited, regardless of age, energy and body, they are in the prime of life, and they have been rolling on the street since they were children. I don't have the ability to do anything else, and I am a good hand in fighting.

As soon as the carriage and horse shop was established, these people were recruited to use it for turf, and Gu Bei went out on the official side.

Gu Cheng raised his head and looked at this gang of people, his attitude was casual, respectful, and indifferent, when he signed up, Gu Cheng personally gave a small ingot of silver to these people, and said: "This is a reward from Gu County's men, do a good job." ”

Only then did each splash show respect on his face, and he bowed lower as he bent over.

Gu Cheng looked at everyone and said loudly: "I know that you are all good at fighting, and there must be no eyes when the chariot and horse shop is just established, and there are fights." But since you have taken the money, you must obey the command, and if you are not restrained, get out of here. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, feeling that this Gu proprietor was very refreshing, it was easy for them to accept such words, not to mention that if he was working for Gu County's man, no one would get out.

pressed his hand, and continued: "When you have nothing to do, stay in the yard, stretch your hands to practice stronger, don't wait for something to need you, become a soft-footed shrimp." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and shouted one after another: "Don't worry, the owner. ”

Gu Cheng looked at the courtyard, the existing guys are about twenty people, and the pranksters are almost fifty, each person has two taels of silver per month, and when they go out, add one or two months' money, which is three taels, and these pranksters can't earn half of the silver all year round, so Gu Cheng is not afraid that these guys will be disobedient in a short time.

"The villain has seen Gu Xianman."

When Gu Bei came to the carriage and horse shop, a group of people knelt down when they saw Gu Bei, and they didn't care that there was horse manure everywhere in the carriage and horse shop.

Five men and five women, and more than a dozen children, the adults kowtowed, and the children also knelt, looking at Gu Bei without blinking. The eyes of these children are like a clear stream, clear to the bottom, and their innocence is still there.

These families were invited by Gu Bei to make horseshoes, because the carriage and horse shop was big enough, and their family was specially allowed to live in the carriage and horse shop.

Gu Bei stepped forward and helped several men up one by one, and said with a pleasant face: "No need to be polite, I invited you to come to build a horse's shoe, repair a saddle, etc., not to let you kneel." ”

A few people stood there with a sigh, Gu Bei said with a smile: "You have to build it well, do it well, and there are monthly rewards and annual rewards, these details will be in charge of Gu Cheng at that time, if you have anything to say to him, if not, you can still find me, you just have to do things with peace of mind." ”

There are hundreds of horses in the carriage and horse shop, and there are a lot of horseshoes used, Gu Bei will buy a large number of horses to set up branches in the future, these craftsmen are definitely not enough, Gu Bei mainly let them build a thing, and they can bring more apprentices in the future.

Gu Bei walked around the carriage and horse shop, and then took Xiao Ran away.

The two-wheeled carriage creaked, and Gu Bei, who was shaking, was uncomfortable for a while, and only after sitting on the four-wheeled car once, he began to miss the four-wheeled vehicle.

Sure enough, it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and from thrift to luxury.

However, the masters of the car and horse shop built it by themselves, as long as the materials are sufficient, they can build one in a day or two.

It is worth saying that now that Luobei Jianye has started, the businessmen who bought the shops before, since they saw the model shops, the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, and finally had no choice but to find Luobei Jianye.

There is no way, only Luobei Jianye has that kind of big glass, if you use Western glass, I don't know how much it will cost. Although Luobei Jianye also spends a lot, it also has to endure the pain.

After all, when you buy a shop, you have to find a way to spread it out, and you can't put it anywhere as a decoration.

The scarcity of glass, the glass workshop is Gubei's, how much is not much, so that glass is now synonymous with the most high-end luxury.

No matter how expensive it is, these businessmen have to endure the pain, no way, who called this someone's territory.

The glass workshop is now managed by Chen Jinwang. Although he won't sell the glass secretly, it won't be a problem to build more for his new mansion.

In this way, this mansion is basically made of glass, and now it has become a grand scene in Luobei Port, every time a caravan traveler comes to Luobei Port, you will see a piece of shining glass in the distance, sighing and admiring, breathtaking!

Regarding Chen Jinwang's behavior of "filling his own pockets and guarding and stealing", Gu Beifei not only did not care, but was even extremely happy. Chen Jinwang built this glass house, and the major families and businessmen couldn't envy it when they saw it, but if they wanted to build a house like this, they had to buy glass, and if they bought glass, they wouldn't be resettled, so they had to find Luobei Jianye.

As a result, the flat glass in the glass workshop was in short supply, and Luobei Jianye's orders were also continuous, and the silver flowed into Gu Bei's pocket like a stream......

In the afternoon, Gu Bei came directly to the barracks in a carriage, Gu Bei was still very concerned about his "escort team", he regarded this "escort team" as his own team, and planned to build it with all his heart.

The best treatment, the best food, the most tiring training!

He is bent on building a Great Xia version of the special forces, the king of soldiers.

"One, two, three, four......"

"One, two, three, four!"

The colonel of the barracks was full of footsteps on the field, and it was very noisy.

Xiao Hei ran at the head of the queue, his mouth wide open and desperately breathing.

He carried a large package on his body, weighing forty pounds, and his steps swayed with every step. His steps became heavier and heavier, and every breath of air he inhaled made his lungs burn with pain, his chest was on fire, and the package on his back was heavier than Mount Tai at this time, pressing his waist more and more bent.

Looking back at the sparse queue, the team of less than 100 people was covered with the 500-meter-long runway outside the schoolyard, and many people didn't even know how many laps they had been trapped......

Xiao Hei thought of the time when he got "The Essentials of Military Training" that day, and he couldn't wait to look at it.

The more I turned over, the more I became fascinated, and in the end, I even became fascinated, and I admired my uncle even more. So, the next day, as a commander, he also participated in training, lived with his brothers, and ate together.

In the first few days, I tossed half to death every day, gritted my teeth and persevered, but the brothers in the escort team were a little miserable......

After a few days, Xiao Hei found that his strength had increased, his stamina had also increased, and the quality of his brothers in the escort team had also improved.

The end was just ahead, and the footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, and the beads of sweat the size of beans seemed to drain the last trace of water on his body. Xiao Hei licked his lips, and his eyes were dizzy. Hold on to it with your last breath of complete will.

Looking back, the rest of the escorts were sparsely formed, each sticking out their tongues like dogs, but no one was left behind, which made Xiao Hei very satisfied.

His eyes looked at the boy who was following him.

The young man's name is Zhou Cheng, he is a member of the disaster victims, his mother almost starved to death, but it was his aunt who saved his mother's life. At the beginning, it was also Zhou Cheng's escort team that took the initiative to enter.

Xiao Hei likes this boy who is persistent, tenacious, and strong like a calf.

Zhou Cheng, who was not thin at the beginning, has a very strong body after a few months of recuperation.

"Continue to insist, dinner has been prepared in the room, those who arrive first are full, those who arrive later are hungry, and then drum up their strength."

Little Black mustered all his strength and shouted.

Hearing his words, all the escorts who were already at the end of the crossbow shouted in unison, and they all fought for the lead, lest they fall to the end and have no food.
