Chapter 208: The Noble Man Comes
"Sifang Express" is actually equivalent to the logistics enterprises of later generations, but the efficiency needs to be improved.
Next year, there will be a wheel revolution, and you can't use wooden wheels anymore, because the thing is too backward and fragile, and the slightest collision will break apart.
The Ming Dynasty of this era did not have rubber trees, so it was impossible to make modern wheels at all.
But the use of bearings and a steel frame will greatly increase the service life and loading capacity of the carriage.
As steel production grows and costs fall, it is imperative to use it to make horse-drawn carriages. The development of the times is reflected in improving efficiency, and Huang Han, who has some silver, will of course carry out industrial upgrading.
It doesn't matter if there is no rubber, a solid tire with a steel rim wrapped in leather is not as efficient as the pneumatic rubber tires of later generations, but it is more than twice as efficient as a wood wheel.
Take your time, first do a good job of freight, and then design a spring shock absorption, so that the comfort of the carriage is improved, "Sifang Express" can be put into passenger carriages, this market is also promising, profitable that is inevitable.
After listening to Huang Sifang's report, Huang Han immediately set off to the inner city, the location of Xu's mansion was not far from the Forbidden City, and after more than two months, Xu Guangqi was very happy to see Huang Han again.
As soon as the old man met with the closed disciples, he couldn't wait to ask about the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and he was even happier after learning that the average yield per mu was as high as 1,000 catties.
He was so curious that he learned that Huang Han had come up with many methods for processing sweet potatoes and potatoes, and wanted to try roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips with his own mouth, but unfortunately Huang Han didn't bring anything with him, and he didn't have potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hands, so he could only make an appointment with his teacher three days later.
Seeing that it was already afternoon, Huang Han was worried that Xu Guangqi would keep him at his house for dinner, so he preemptively said, "Master, the disciple has a party at night.
Because he was about to sell roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips with great fanfare in Beijing, it would be rude not to greet Jinyiwei in advance.
Therefore, the disciple invited Li Ruolian Qianhu and Imperial Horse Supervisor Fang Zhenghua to go to Yichun Courtyard to drink flower wine tonight. ”
Xu Guangqi was very open-minded, knowing that Huang Han's promotion plan needed Jinyiwei's help, and also knew that Huang Han was friendly with Jinyiwei's Qianhu Li Ruolian, so he nodded and said:
"Necessary communication is indispensable, as a teacher is not like to socialize will be difficult, you bring a lot of people to Beijing to sell roasted sweet potatoes, you should contact Jinyiwei in advance, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Master, roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips will be officially on sale in three days, I wonder if the master is willing to be the first customer at that time?"
"Don't you say that you are a teacher, but you also want to remind you that you must be the first to taste the first pot of fried potato chips and the first roasted sweet potatoes sold in Jingshi! As a teacher, he will not only taste it himself, but also bring some to the early court, so that his colleagues can taste it. ”
"The disciple suggested that the teacher might as well invite the Holy Son of Heaven to taste it as well."
"It's all right, it's just that you have to think it's delicious for the teacher."
"This is definitely no problem, the disciple guarantees that as long as you eat a few bites of roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips, you will definitely find them extremely delicious."
"Haha, so the old man is relieved, the old man is a little impatient!"
Huang Han chatted with Xu Guangqi for two tea days, and discussed how to ask the teacher to cooperate with the promotion early in the morning three days later, Xu Guangqi found it interesting and agreed.
Seeing that it was not early, he estimated that it should be time for dinner for his teacher, so he said goodbye to the Xu Mansion and went to the alley of the division with four retinues with full force.
At nightfall, the lights are on, the laughter and the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra near the inner city of the Beijing Normal School are endless, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive, Huang Han is dressed in a green shirt and shakes a folding fan and goes to Yichun Courtyard.
Originally, a young man dressed as a cloth man walked here inconspicuously, even if Huang Han was burly, it would not attract attention, but behind him, there were four warriors with helmets and red cloaks flying in the wind, which looked very unusual.
Many sons, grandsons, and sisters looked at Huang Han and his party, and they couldn't guess what was sacred?
After all, the last time Huang Han hit Chang'an Street, he rode a high-headed horse and wore a military uniform, which was completely different from today's folding fan and swaying gently, and was basically not recognized.
In front of the gate of Yichun Courtyard, Huang Han found that Huang Sifang, who had come to make an appointment in advance, was already waiting at the door, and several turtle slaves who were waiting at the door saw Huang Han, and one of them hurriedly rushed into the mouth and shouted: "Girl, here, the noble man is here......"
The other turtle slaves nodded and stepped forward to accompany him and said: "Big ......, Huang Gongzi, you are going here, my girl is very happy when she learns that you can come today, and she will arrange to serve ......you in the Peony Pavilion."
As soon as I walked into the door, I heard the sound of Huanpei moving and the dark incense attacked, and more than a dozen fair girls came to the front of me with a shy smile.
Tian Zizi called coquettishly, revealing the satisfaction of the beauty getting what she wanted, "General, the slave family is finally looking forward to you......"
Huang Han smiled: "I just entered the city today, and I can't wait to see you at night, it shouldn't be a no-show!" ”
"The general still remembers the previous appointment, and the slave family is happy."
This is Li Ruolian who happened to come in, and he joked with a smile: "When heroes and beauties meet, will there be a spring breeze several times?" Lord Huang, hurry up!
When the flowers can be broken, they must be folded, and they should not be broken without flowers. I don't know how many nobles are waiting to comb for Miss Chuchu, but this beauty is very persistent, and she has already let out her words, just waiting for the 'red flag to sweep the west wind'. ”
Combing Huang Han knows a little bit about it, and knows that it is the meaning of the girls in the Fengyue place to pick up customers for the first time, and often the bustards take the method of combining the high price and the girl to achieve good things.
I didn't expect a woman who was mixed with the wind and dust to have a spring breeze with herself, damn, this is not good! Although Lao Tzu is not short of money, he can't use it for prostitution! Besides, if you don't have a few hundred taels of silver for the top card of Yichun Courtyard, I'm afraid you won't be able to get off the stage.
A few hundred taels of silver in the first few years is a year's living expenses for dozens of small people, will he be so extravagant Will he be depressed from now on and have no fighting spirit, and he has always been a hero in Gentle Township!
Huang Han took a look at Chu Chu and found that Xiao Nizi was as delicate as a flower, her pretty face was even more white and red, and her originally hard heart suddenly softened.
It can be seen that widows also have diseases, and widows are also lustful! Woohoo, what is it?
A beautiful girl waited for Huang Han to comb for her, and for a while Huang Han was really a little distracted, men are so cheap, they all expect to get the first time of beauty.
Alas! How difficult it is to be a moral gentleman, temptation is really everywhere.
Huang Han arched his hand to Li Ruolian and said: "Lord Li said that he laughed, he just admired Miss Chu Chu in his humble position, and he really had no distracting thoughts, today we will drink and listen to music and talk about the world, and we may not know if we are drunk and lying on the battlefield in the future, and we can't miss the life of the little girl." ”
