Yang Xiuqing, who got out of the carriage, still had a satisfied smile on his face.
The compartment of the car was obviously deliberately decorated. The inside is very spacious, and the two long chairs facing each other are wrapped in yellow silk, and the inner wall is also attached to the yellow satin tent, which makes it feel noble and comfortable to sit on. However, no matter how comfortable the carriage was, it seemed that it was not as good as his sedan chair.
It's no wonder he feels this way. You must know that if you put a bowl of water in his sedan chair, even if you go out a few miles away, not a drop of water in the bowl will be spilled. Such a comfortable Cheng dΓΉ, not to mention at that time, I am afraid that it is now known as the most comfortable "Rolls-Royce" in the world, and it can only be beyond the reach of it.
Yang Xiuqing is still a really smart person. Let's just say that the establishment of this carriage factory, he really didn't feel anything special at that time, or that Lin Haifeng had any intentions. But now, Yang Xiuqing finally covered the truth inside. This guy just doesn't mumble in his ears, and he has to leave the shadow to you.
"Yes, really good, stylish and comfortable!" Yang Xiuqing clapped her hands, laughed, and looked at Wei Changhui and them again, "Tell me, the ancestors have been riding in the carriage since the beginning, and it is said that there are many hierarchical distinctions about the passengers. Why did they all change to a sedan chair later? Is it because it is more comfortable to sit in a sedan chair, or more magnificent? β
The surrounding officials, if you want to say that there are some literary ink, it is Wei Changhui and Lai Wenguang. Wei Changhui saw that Dongwang raised this question, not to mention, he had really seen it a few times by chance before. So, he hurriedly grabbed ahead of others and blurted out without thinking, "The fourth brother is very right." Before the Song Dynasty, horse-drawn carriages were very prosperous, especially in the Tang Dynasty. β
He looked at the officials around him, and then at the Dongwang who was quite interested, and while thinking seriously, he said, "Actually, the origin of this sedan chair is still relatively early, as if it existed in the Zhou period, but the sedan chair at that time could only be regarded as a small sedan chair like the current sliding rod, and the purpose was only used in places where the road was difficult. As later generations became more affluent, everyone began to chase something more comfortable to ride. The bumps of the two-wheeled carriage, the fourth brother and you all understand, needless to say. This is why there was an ox cart that was lively for a while. Ox carts are slower, but they are more secure than horse-drawn carts. Later, that is, in the Song Dynasty, people found that the ox cart was still not as comfortable as the sedan chair. As a result, the wind of riding a sedan car began to prevail. β
When Hong Xuanjiao heard this, she snorted and pouted, "It's been a long time, this sedan chair is how it was tossed." It's really called the fourth brother to talk about it, just for his own comfort and style, and in turn he uses others as animals. β
"Isn't it," Fu Shanxiang continued with her words, "In fact, during the Song Dynasty, when sedan chairs began to prevail, Wang Anshi, a celebrity at that time, had made a comment. He even thinks that the sedan chair riders are actually enslaving people as animals, which is not right at all. β
Looking at the somewhat surprised eyes of many people, Fu Shanxiang seemed to be unconcerned and continued to say his own, "For thousands of years, what everyone has painstakingly studied is not how to make the country prosperous and how the people can be richer, but endlessly thinking about what is more comfortable to sit on. I don't want to think about what kind of thing can bring to others besides myself. From horse-drawn carts to ox carts, ox carts to sedan chairs, it is getting more and more comfortable, but it is getting slower and slower. It is no wonder that our ancestors first knew how to use firearms, but now they have been beaten by overseas barbarians who have never been looked down upon, and they are beaten with foreign guns and cannons. β
Yang Xiuqing held one hand on his chest, supported his chin with the other, and squinted his eyes at Fu Shanxiang, "According to what you say, the sedan chair must be wrong?" β
Fu Shanxiang bowed, "Your Highness, Shanxiang doesn't dare to say that." Then, she looked at the officials around her with embarrassment. Among these people, except for herself, Hong Xuanjiao, and Lai Wenguang, everyone came in a sedan chair.
"Hehe, in fact, Fu Shangshu's statement is also biased." Wei Changhui smiled, "We have a vast land and many people, and carrying a sedan chair as a profession has supported many people who make a living from it for at least thousands of years." This is not a benefit either. As he spoke, he lamented in his heart, why do more and more people talk now, and there will be traces of that King An?
"Joke!" Hong Xuanjiao waved the whip in her hand, "I haven't heard of anyone who is willing to carry a sedan chair." Don't say anything else, let's just talk about those who are desperately trying to test for what kind of fame, which one is not going to take a sedan chair? Looking at the present, some of the generals in Tianjing City are also keen to sit in a sedan chair, if they are really comfortable for a few years, it is estimated that when they go into battle in the future, they may fall off the horse. β
"Xuanjiao, you're a bit alarmist." Yang Xiuqing smiled and turned her head to look at the director of the car factory, "Did you build such cars?" Does King An have any other arrangements? β
The director of the depot hurriedly nodded, "Nine thousand years old, I am still making small vehicles here." His Royal Highness King An's intention is to build more and set up car shops in Tianjing and other places to replace some of the current sedan car shops. In this way, it will be much more convenient for everyone to go out. β
"Yes, that's a good idea." Yang Xiuqing looked back at Hong Xuanjiao again, "This king just said that you are not talking nonsense. If this carriage wants to run comfortably and fast, not only Tianjing, but everywhere it will have to build a smoother road. Alas, it costs money again! As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Changhui on the side.
"I don't care so much," Hong Xuanjiao smiled, and the whip was raised behind him, "I told the sisters in charge of patrolling the city, as long as you find that there is a sedan chair in the city defense army, no matter who he is, if he is caught, he will be given a hundred lashes first, and the sedan chair will be burned on the spot." β
Yang Xiuqing turned around and began to walk towards the craftsmen where they were making, pointing at Hong Xuanjiao and laughing, "You are too domineering, it won't be taught by Brother Ning Wang, right?" β
"Who told him to teach?" Hong Xuanjiao's face flushed a little, "Our King Ning is busy to death, but he doesn't have time to get involved in my affairs." β
"Hehe, then brother, I have to talk about this Ning Wang brother when I go back," Yang Xiuqing deliberately frowned, "It's okay not to care about our sister?" β
"The fourth brother is going to teach our family King Ning a good lesson, and he has to have a time to do anything, how can he not care about his own life or death." Hong Xuanjiao pursed her lips and wanted to say something more, but was pulled aside by a female official of the Heavenly King's Mansion.
Yang Xiuqing also stopped, and the people from the Heavenly King's Mansion chased here, so there must be something urgent. His heart moved, this morning the king of heaven announced that the generals in the red army were summoned to the palace of the king of heaven, it will not be
