Volume 5 Tokyo Cold Chapter 420 [Walking Street]
It is just a matter of building a fountain on a man-made rockery, which is naturally a light and clever thing, and Huang Jie also agreed, but as for the cost, it is vague at first, so as not to make the profits of Zhao Guan's family in the future.
One more thing to say here is that the garden construction in the Song Dynasty also has a very high attainment in the use of water power, and the water springs, springs and even cool halls and self-rain pavilions built by using the water wheel to raise the water level are also common, but the new fountain of the flat fountain taken out by Huang Jie has never been seen, especially the "Great Qin Hiro style fountain" described by Huang Jie that can spray water columns several zhang high, which subverts the normal cognition of people in this era.
However, the fountain alone was not enough, Huang Jie proposed that Zhao Guan's family allowed the people to pass and play freely in the future, and also allowed his family's "Huangzhou Seigongfang" to specialize in several toys on the royal street, such as Hot Wheels, cloud boards, cloud cars, etc.
This Hot Wheels is also easy to understand, that is, a few wheels are installed on the boots, and it is divided into two kinds, one is a double row of four wheels, and the other is a single row of four wheels.
The cloud board is actually a board with wheels, and it is also divided into two kinds, one is that there are two pairs of wheels under the board, and the other is that one wheel is installed before and after, and the front wheel is also equipped with a handlebar, and people can step on it and slide, saying that the speed can be faster than running. The cloud car is a strange shelf with two wheels, looking at the figure drawn by Huang Jie, this person can sit on the car and ride, the speed is comparable to that of a galloping horse.
Everyone was amazed when they saw it, but Wang Hao pointed to the cloud board of the front and rear wheels and said, "This ...... Isn't this a cart in the Han Dynasty? ”
For a while, everyone was dazzled by Huang Jie's endless new things, although these are all drawings on paper, but they are also very convenient and understandable, and many of them have provenances, and it is not abrupt to come, and Huang Jie is also swearing to pat his chest to ensure that these things have been made in kind, as long as it takes a while for the family team from Huangzhou to arrive, they can get the real thing and watch it with everyone.
It's just that the opening of the royal street to play with the people is a matter of royal majesty, and the Zhao official family did not dare to agree easily for a while.
When the Song Dynasty Taizong rejuvenated the country for five years, the commercial activities in the city of Tokyo became more and more prosperous, and there began to be the phenomenon of the people setting up stalls to encroach on the streets, at the beginning it was only in the branch road and the street to set up stalls, or in the workshop (in the streets and alleys or in the square market to open a shop), and then with the passage of time became more and more intense, to the Song Zhenzong Xianping five years, because the neighborhood encroached on the street seriously, and even the stalls were placed on the royal street, and the sedan chair of the hundred officials would be blocked every time in the early dynasty.
Once in the early court, half of the officials were late, and Song Zhenzong ordered someone to investigate, but because there were too many people setting up stalls in front of the royal street, the courtiers' sedan cars could not pass after being blocked, so the time was delayed.
Song Zhenzong was naturally furious, so he ordered the right servant to prohibit Xie Dequan to go to govern, and after Xie Dequan received the edict, he actually demolished the mansion built by the powerful and wealthy households to occupy the royal street, which caused a lot of discussion, and Zhenzong had to issue an edict to stop the demolition. As a result, Xie Dequan refused to carry it out, and after demolishing the mansion shop on Yu Street, he slowly cleared the people's stalls, and Song Zhenzong could only issue an edict to Kaifeng Mansion Street Division to set up a table from far and near, so that the people would not be invaded again.
However, such edicts are naturally like a dead letter, the powerful and wealthy have backers, and they are not afraid of punishment when they open shops and invade the streets, while the small people simply engage in a guerrilla war in which the enemy advances and we retreat, anyway, it is just a small stall with a few wooden planks, tables and chairs, and the government officials can only bomb them apart, how dare they smash them, that is to arouse the anger of the people. After Song Renzong ascended the throne, in the face of repeated prohibitions on the street, he simply ordered that residents be allowed to open a shop on the street, but after all, the royal street is the royal face, and it can't be done like a cattle and horse market, and if there is any major event such as a festival or travel, it is necessary to send people in advance to greet the people who set up stalls, so he simply issued an edict ordering the people to only set up stalls at the five times a month at the Ten Thousand Surnames Trading Conference, and set up stalls at will in Xiangguo Temple, Bianhe Street, Mahang Street and other places.
However, after the renovation of the Royal Street, it was redivided into three parts. This middle part is the royal road, which is a royal road, and pedestrians are strictly forbidden to enter. There are ditches dug on both sides of the royal road, the ditch is full of lotus flowers, peaches, plums, pears, apricots and coconut trees are planted on both sides of the ditch, there are black lacquer forks on both sides of the ditch as the boundary, and the east and west sides outside the two ditches are the royal corridors, which is the area of civilian activities, and the shops are allowed to open on the street, and the common people buy and sell in the meantime, and it is very lively.
And Huang Jie's current request is to reduce the Zhongyu Road by half, and then build a fountain in the vacated area, and change it into a pedestrian street, allowing people to play and walk and play on Hot Wheels, cloud boards and cloud cars, of course, it is definitely not allowed to set up stalls.
Zhao Guanjia was also very confused by this request, so he also asked: "Where are these things to play in, why are they on the royal street?" ”
Huang Jie also replied: "Naturally, it is not only possible to play on the royal street, the right should be a favor between Your Majesty and my family, if Your Majesty allows Hot Wheels, cloud boards and cloud cars and other things to play on the royal street, then these three playthings are bound to be quickly sold all over the world, and our family will make a profit!" ”
Gao Yu on the side sneered and said: "These playthings seem to be exquisite, but they may not be counterfeited, how easy is it to market the world?" ”
Huang Jie came to see Gao Yu and said with a smile: "What the professor said is, but I have my own way, why do I need to counterfeit, whoever wants to do it, I will convert the salary to teach the skills with him!" ”
When Gao Yu heard it, he also hissed, but also remembered that Huang Jie sold the canned meat recipe for 100,000 yuan, and now the Huangzhou Dongpo brand canned meat in Tokyo has been stable, even if the canned meat products all over the world have long been all over Tokyo, but his canned meat is still in short supply, but it really responds to the old saying "more ships do not press the river, more cars do not press the road"!
Immediately, Gao Yu had an idea, and he also showed a kind expression and said: "Speaking of which, the old man also has a carpentry workshop in his family, and the craftsmen are also making up the numbers, so how about teaching this kind of production skills to the old man first?" ”
How could Huang Jie refuse, besides, if Gao Yu hadn't sent 500 Japanese troops to the south, he wouldn't have been able to take away the Huang family's canned meat workshop early education Tong Guan and the prince's gang, so he hurriedly agreed: "This is natural, the professor just rest assured!" ”
Next, Huang Jie talked about a few strange things, such as a large four-wheeled bus that can seat dozens of people, which is used to replace the two-wheeled car in the city as the main means of public transportation, and a large hanging night light up to five zhang can be used for public lighting at night, and there is even a spotlight made of a giant silver mirror, which can be used to assist the city defense, and can also be used to add color to the lighting of the market.
When Huang Jie finally dried his mouth and stopped to drink water, he suddenly found that the outside of the pavilion had been silent, and then he realized that tonight's ball building game had already ended. (To be continued.) )
