Chapter 400: The Burning Carriage
Blessed are the merchants who run the Jingshuo line (Chang'an to Shuofang), they see that the carriage they have been coveting for a long time has begun to be sold.
Not long ago, they discovered one thing, that is, at some point, the failure rate of the Yang family's carriage was low, and even when running, they could only hear the crisp sound of horses' hooves "clack", but there was no longer the sound of the "gurgling and squeaking" dilapidated carriage.
So they attracted their attention to the Yang family's horse convoy, and finally, when the Yang family's horse convoy stopped to rest, they leaned forward.
"What, this is the Yang family's horse convoy, idlers stay away." "Lao Zhang, it's me, Xiao Li, I just want to see if your carriage has broken down less recently, and there is even no more noise?" It seems that these are two acquaintances.
"Hey, Xiao Li, you can take a closer look, we have recently changed to a new carriage, look at this, these are all those old carriages, and the latest ones have not been distributed to us, but this is it, we can use it, and we are very happy." As he spoke, he brought this Xiao Li to the carriage and introduced him to the improvements of the carriage.
"You see this carriage wheel, has been changed to a steel rim, steel spokes, and a steel axle in the middle, so that the sound of the carriage will become very small, and outside, it is an inflated tire, walking on the road will not make a sound, just such a pair of tires, if you don't burst the tire, it is estimated that it can be used for about half a year, it is much better than the previous wooden wheels, and the wooden wheels, although ours are better than yours, but because of the vibration. It should also be replaced every few months. But now. You only need to change the tires, and the steel rim, if you don't encounter an accident, it will be used permanently, and there is that this time to replace the carriage, we have improved the way of maintenance, we are only responsible for minor faults. In case of major breakdowns, there will be several Yang family carriage maintenance teams patrolling this highway line, so that our carriage can be repaired in a very short time if it breaks down. ”
Balabala, he said this way, but he was very excited, but it is no wonder that he has a good tool. And Yang Heng didn't forbid them to say it, which was not good to show off. And Yang Heng can't wait for this kind of thing to happen, this is a free advertisement.
So, on this road, it is basically rumored that the Yang family has a new carriage, but it has not yet been sold to the outside world, so that those who have a relationship and those who have nothing to do are concerned about the affairs of the Yang family, to see when they will start selling this kind of carriage, or improve the sales of parts of the carriage.
Why is this idea, because the carriages running on this line are all newly modified carriages of the Yang family, but there is no new carriage, it is a new carriage, and it is still the old style.
In fact, Yang Heng did this, there is also an explanation, that is, the four-wheeled carriage, that is not a simple two-axle with two wheels, but including a series of things such as steering control, if you are not familiar with it, it is really difficult to catch up, so it is impossible to form a capacity in a short period of time, and the speed is slower than that of the two-wheeled one, although the loading capacity is large, there are more horses that can pull the cart, isn't it, then the two-wheeled carriage is still the first choice for some merchants.
"Have you heard, the new carriage of the Yang family has begun to be officially sold, and you can also choose to modify the old carriage, which is on the Yang family Zhuangzi in the north of Chang'an City." When Yang Heng asked Liu Cai to start selling on the first day, it had already been passed out on this road on the third day, which is easy to say, in fact, after some telegrams or something, the Yang family's transport team in each section of the road was passed out, and it was basically passed out at the same time in each section of the road.
"Xiao Li, I met you again, your owner bought the carriage, I told you, our master's family has started to sell, I'll tell you, don't tell others, this is a limited sale, you go late, you can't buy it." So this mysterious thing quickly spread, what limited sales, is just an advertising slogan.
Yang Heng why do you want to do this advertising, there is a way in this, at first, if their own carriage is not guaranteed, it will be sold, let the merchants think, their idea is not only to buy expensive, not to buy the right, their money is difficult to dig out, you see, the Yang family's carriage has not been replaced, just want us to be a test of the goods, so it is difficult to sell at a price, and even waste some manpower and material resources, this sales and modification do not need people, and the Yang family's own is different, It only takes a few newly established maintenance teams on the road to be modified, and the returning carriage can be modified with only half a day's delay.
When the Yang family is modified, the merchants do not necessarily buy, they don't know the performance of the road, and after running on the road for a few months, they didn't even find a few bad places, and the speed is obviously faster than the old carriage, so that it will attract them, slowly, their desire to buy after accumulating to a certain extent, the tires of the carriage have also accumulated a considerable amount, once released, it will be a hot situation, and even the price can be slightly more expensive, naturally it will not be expensive, why, the purchase objects are different, but this is a big customer, if there are few, Yang Heng will really give up this part of the customer.
And the most expensive is the four-wheeled luxury carriage, which was delayed for nearly a month before going on sale.
"Little sister of the Li family, come and play in our new carriage." "Hmph, I'm not going to go up, your carriage is too ugly, it's a scarlet coat." Yes, this is a child of a high-ranking family, but the baby still has a way, "We have good tea here, and a small snack, Miss Li, don't you like to eat the baby's snack, there is one on this." "This is a self-taught baby, she actually knows that Lu Dao advertises her own carriage, because following Yang Heng's side, she has learned a lot of things, naturally, she also knows that Brother Lu Dao gave her own carriage, just to let herself advertise her own carriage.
So, under the temptation of the baby's snacks and other things, some children did not escape their palms, and visited the new carriage once, or even several times, and sometimes let the horses run around with the carriage, such as outing, hunting, so.
"Ah, baby, your carriage is so quiet, and it shakes very little, especially this tea stove, such a fast speed, you can still drink tea, and can you teach us this way of drinking tea?"
Naturally, selling tea art is also a project for the baby, this, really ladylike, isn't it, naturally some girls with good tutors want to learn, who doesn't want to behave in front of their elders, so, the baby not only advertised the carriage, even the tea set, the tea has also been advertised, in the tea set tea shop in Chang'an East City, for a while, this tea, tea set are sold, this, mainly in recent years, Yang Heng has made a tea garden, naturally, the output of tea has been high, but his high-end tea, really poor sales performance, in fact, is not bad, mainly this high-grade green tea, produced too little, and this green tea has not many people recognized, after the baby's drive, this green tea is also a big seller.
"Dad, let's also change the baby's carriage, that carriage is too good." "Who's the baby?" "A baby is a baby, by the way, she seems to be surnamed Yang, and the crimson carriage canopy used by her carriage."
The surname is Yang, the scarlet carriage canopy, that is, the family members of the officials of the four grades, is there an official surnamed Yang of the four grades in the court? After many investigations, he finally knew that it was Yang Heng, so his investigation also made many people know about this matter, and when the four-wheeled carriage began to sell, it was another sensation.
Especially this carriage canopy, is directly given the style, and even the size, let them go home and make their own, why is this, this should be according to the rank of the official, naturally, there must be a color that matches them, it is very convenient, but the interior can be installed according to their own requirements, so there was a wind in Chang'an City to change cars.
