The various workers and craftsmen in the Qingyunzhai workshop are no better than others, not to mention that the second and fourth masters often come in summer, and the famous Uncle Shao in the capital will also come to the door from time to time.

There are also court officials, similar to Qu Jiang, who are frequent visitors to the kiln. There is also that master craftsman, who is skilled and a serious six-grade official, who is now resident here.

Therefore, seeing that there were two more fresh faces in the owner's group, and between standing and walking, there was a little different uprightness and caution, and I knew that this was the maid from the palace.

But this perception only allows them to look at it from afar, and do what they have to do. Those who can walk close to each other are polite and polite, and they can almost ignore incivility.

This made Aunt Su feel relieved again.

The various workers in the workshop are so well-behaved that they seem to have seen something of the world. It can be seen that the business done by this aunt is really different from other small fights, and her ability to manage people and affairs is also very good.

What shocked Aunt Su even more was the scale of the kiln, she was also a girl who grew up in the market, although she had not really seen any craftsman workshops, but she always had some imagination before coming. She had already estimated the Qingyun Zhai kiln to Dali according to the rumors, but what she saw after entering the door still surprised her a lot.

It is unimaginable that a young woman is in charge of such a big business.

She has seen the weaving and dyeing bureau and needlework bureau in the palace, although it is also a bit large, but it is really incomparable with the rows of buildings and workshops in front of her. Aunt Su even suspected that the larger military battle bureau and silver bureau in the palace may not have the scale of the Qingyun Zhai kiln in front of her.

And this big workshop named after the kiln is just one of the many transactions in Qingyun Zhai.

At this time, Aunt Su, looking at Xia Yanqing again, is even more different from before. With such a big business in her hands, the affairs she does can still be of great benefit to the imperial court, and the future achievements of this aunt and grandmother will be all over the world, and I am afraid that even men can rarely compare with her, right?

Xia Yanqing got down from the carriage and asked Aunt Su if she wanted to rest, but she herself wanted to see how the carriage that was about to go to Shuncheng Mansion was prepared.

Of course, Aunt Su had to accompany her, Xia Yanqing saw that she was in good spirits, so she was not polite, and immediately took the three of them to the workshop where axles and wheels were made.

In the past few days, the kiln has been busy, and news has come back from the Dongxi mining area that the black gold stone mined there is enough for the capital to use for two or three months, but the original transportation road still cannot be dredged.

According to Mohong's plan, the mine has been suspended, and more than 400 miners, as well as dozens of handymen who do auxiliary work, have also paid their wages for this period and returned to their homes.

Next, it is to rush to transport all the Wujin stones stored in the mining area back to the capital before the year, and a detour is necessary, so this transportation will use a four-wheeled bearing carriage.

After the successful development of the bearings, only two four-wheeled carriages were built on this side of the kiln.

Next, in order not to attract attention, the Qingyun Zhai kiln was only responsible for making the wheel and axle parts. For the rest of the carpentry work such as car plates and frames, people were sent to Shuncheng Mansion with drawings to recruit carpentry craftsmen locally for production.

Now, the wheels and axles of the first transport vehicles have been completed, and the parts made by the Shun Cheng side have also been completed and transported to the mining area.

What Qingyunzhai needs to do is to transport the wheels and axles to the Dongxi mining area through Shuncheng Mansion for the final assembly of the vehicles.

When Xia Yanqing passed, all the wheels that were bundled properly in groups had been loaded. From the outside, it looks like a bundle of sturdy cylindrical straw stacks, neatly stacked on a horse-drawn carriage.

Qiao Chensheng is leading the craftsman to cover the straw stack after loading with tarpaulin, and use a big rope to fix the vehicle for the final time.

Seeing Xia Yanqing coming, Qiao Chensheng came to salute first, and only glanced at the three people who followed her, and then said the right thing: "The little one has already completed the road guidance, and the exemption documents for the prison have also been sent." Tomorrow morning, when the city gate is opened, the vehicle can go out of the city to Shuncheng Mansion. ”

Xia Yanqing followed Qiao Chensheng again, turned around and checked the details of the two carriages, then nodded and said, "I hope to arrive at the mining area as soon as possible, after all, it takes time to assemble." ”

Qiao Chensheng was quite confident: "Auntie, don't worry, we have tried this vehicle in the workshop, as long as the road is not too rough, the speed of this four-wheeled carriage is much faster than that of ordinary carriages, and it will not delay things." ”

"That's good." Xia Yanqing looked at the people around him again, and said in surprise, "Lord Fang didn't actually stare at you loading the car?" ”

Fang Chaosheng was very concerned about wheel transportation before, and told some precautions for loading and on the road. It's strange that I didn't come to see it at this time.

Qiao Chensheng smiled: "Where will you not star?" I was still there just now, and I watched us fill the gap between the wheels with sand and cover it with tarpaulin, and then we left. ”

Because the main part of the carriage and wheels were made of wood, Fang Chao was afraid that it would burn in case of open flames, so he instructed him to take various fire prevention measures, and finally added a sand cover to the car to flame retardant.

With such an insider staring, Xia Yanqing was really relieved.

Aunt Su listened to the two of them talking on the side, and understood a little in her heart.

No wonder, when she came over, she saw this strange-looking vehicle, so big, and it was four wheels, it was really rare.

At this time, I listened to their answers, and it turned out that this was also unique to Qingyunzhai. She watched the goods piled up high on the carriage, and her heart was full of sighs. How many things do you have to fit into such a frame?

It turned out that what her aunt and grandmother had in their hands was not only all kinds of glass and glass, but even things like carriages, which could actually have a different scenery here in Qingyunzhai.

There are many people who are just as surprised as Su Qiao.

Before dawn the next day, as the heavy gates creaked open, the people inside the gates, and a caravan that was obviously preparing to leave early in the morning, rushed over, waiting for the soldiers guarding the city to check the passage.

At the same time as the city gate opened, two carriages larger drove from the road to the sound of horses' hooves.

It wasn't until the carriage approached that people could see where the carriage was one size bigger, and it was clearly several sizes bigger, right?

The people of the caravan, in particular, opened their mouths in surprise as they watched the huge carriage coming. I looked at the carriage on my side again, it was all two wheels, even if it was loaded into the sky, how much could it be loaded in?

Look at the people, there are only four wheels alone. Not to mention the goods, this pile of Dengden doesn't know what, just looking at it, it's shocking and hot-eyed.
