Chapter 413: Assassination Invitation

All the parts of this four-wheeled carriage were actually made yesterday, and according to the plan, the assembly was to be completed this morning, but it was obvious that everyone in the manufacturing bureau gave him a surprise without knowing Yan Liqiang, and it is estimated that in the middle of the night last year, many craftsmen quietly got up and then assembled the four-wheeled carriage.

Looking at the expectant and joyful eyes around him, Yan Liqiang's heart was warm, and under the gaze of everyone, Yan Liqiang suppressed his excitement and walked towards the four-wheeled carriage with some dazzling and mysterious brilliance.

The black carriage is luxurious, revealing a graceful and calm color, Yan Liqiang walked to the side of the carriage, the black shiny carriage door panel, Yan Liqiang's shadow was illuminated, Yan Liqiang gently crossed the black door with his fingers, and the door came with a solid and delicate and glorious feel, which was very textured.

The sterling silver arabesque carved handle is on the door, which looks simple and elegant, the sterling silver handle and the black door carriage are matched together, black and white, which is extraordinarily visually impactful, and under the carriage door, there is a section of hardwood pedal with brass edging that is convenient for getting on and off the carriage, which is very humane and thoughtful.

Yan Liqiang did not go up immediately, but circled around the carriage, carefully watching every detail on the four-wheeled carriage.

The coachman of the carriage sits in front of the carriage, where there is a special seat for the coachman, compared to the low and curled coachman sitting position of the two-wheeled carriage, the position of the coachman in this four-wheeled carriage is very comfortable, and he can sit in his position with his chest and back up, which gives people a condescending and upright feeling from the senses.

On both sides of the carriage of the driver's position, there are two copper horse lamp lampshades, at night, when you need to rush the night road, those two lampshades, you can put the horse lamps in, the road in front of them, the traditional two-wheeled carriage horse lamp, just casually picked in front of the carriage, not so careful and careful.

The two front wheels of the carriage were slightly smaller than the two rear wheels, which made it easier to turn while running, reducing the turning radius of the carriage, and it looked very elegant, with the two front wheels fixed to separate frames, and the front and rear frames were joined together by a sturdy and flexible metal bogie on the carriage's turf.

Turn to the other side of the carriage, you can see a strange LOGO in the upper right corner of the carriage door, which is a fist-sized sterling silver hollow metal plate inlaid on the carriage, the shape of the metal plate is the same as the trademark of the dragon and tiger totem of Yan's sword, the tiger with concise lines and the flying dragon are hovering into a circle end to end - a cadre of craftsmen from the previous manufacturing bureau did not understand why Yan Liqiang had to make such a "signboard" on the car, and Yan Liqiang did not explain, anyway, they would understand when the time came.

At the tail of the carriage, there is the trunk, the trunk is divided into two parts, one part is like the trunk of a car, there is a lid, there is a small flat space under the lid, which can be filled with some valuables, and the outside of the lid has a brass lock, which can be added to the lock, and then opened with a key, which ensures its security and privacy. If there is more salute, it can be placed on the roof of the car, just under the driver's seat, and there is also a storage space.

At this moment, Yan Liqiang's heart was full of amazement, he was really fascinated by the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the Manufacturing Bureau, and the craftsmen one by one turned the things he drew on paper into real objects perfectly, which was exquisite and meticulous, far beyond Yan Liqiang's imagination.

The aura and coercion exuded by this carriage in the eyes of everyone at this moment are too powerful, and they can't compare to the Rolls-Royce that Yan Liqiang has sat in in his previous life.

Circling around the carriage, Yan Liqiang nodded again and again, and then, he came to the side of the carriage next to the door, pulled the sterling silver door handle, "click", the door of the carriage was opened, he stepped on the pedal under the door, and then elegantly walked into the carriage, and then beckoned to Qian Su, Qian Su walked over, and also stepped on the pedal to get into the carriage.

The carriage of the carriage is spacious, bright, with a wooden floor that can be seen in the light, at the front and rear ends of the carriage, there are two seats facing each other, and the seats are also specially made by Yan Liqiang for the cobbler and the carpenter together, similar to the wooden bench of the bench, wrapped with the best processed suede, and there is a mixture of cotton and coarse linen under the suede, which is moderately soft and hard to sit on, very comfortable, and the width left in the two rows of seats can even allow Yan Liqiang to Erlang's legs in the carriage or lie down.

The carriage window has two next to the seats on both sides of the front and rear, the outermost layer of the window is a parquet window made of glass, and there is a slide rail under the window, which can be slid back and forth and locked, and you can see the scenery outside the carriage after opening, and can ensure privacy after being closed, and at the same time, inside the glass parquet window, there is a layer of transparent screen and a layer of completely blackout curtain, which can be closed as needed.

The carriage is full of finesse, and everywhere a human hand can touch, except for the glossy wood and leather, there are only shiny sterling silver or brass components and ornaments.

Qian Su, who was in the carriage, also raised his head, looked up and down and left and right at the structure in the carriage, his eyes were full of amazement, even if it was not the first time Qian Su had seen the inside of the carriage, but it was still difficult to hide the surprise in his heart, Qian Su's hand touched here and there, and opened the storage compartment under the seat of the carriage, and then closed it up again, and nodded, "You can also put some things here, such as a longbow and a few swords, it's not a big problem!" Qian Su said, and opened a storage compartment next to his seat connected to the carriage, "It's just that what can this movable storage compartment here be used for, it feels like this compartment is a bit big......

"This can be used to put wine!" Yan Liqiang blinked and gestured with his hand, "Isn't it a beautiful thing to drink while sitting in the car, looking at the spring and autumn colors outside, if you want, you can also customize a freezer with ice here, and it can cool down in the car in the summer, and there is no problem with drinking iced sour plum soup while sitting in the carriage, what does Uncle Qian think?"

Qian Su sighed and smiled bitterly, "Although I boast that I can enjoy it, compared to you Liqiang, I feel that I have lived in vain for the first half of my life, I really can't understand what you have in your head, such a carriage can be imagined!"

"Hahaha, if Uncle Qian likes it, he can immediately ask the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Bureau to build another one, and then Uncle Qian can take his confidante and wander around in the carriage!"

Qian Su laughed, "Yes, yes, you understand me!"

"Let them put their horses on the rack and run two laps!"

"That's what I mean...... Qian Su beckoned out of the car window, and immediately someone led the two rhino dragon horses over and drove them in the carriage.

It is worth mentioning that even when driving a horse, the four-wheeled carriage is still smooth and motionless, which is completely different from the two-wheeled carriage when driving and unloading the horse, so that the carriage is warped forward and backward, and at the same time, the sleeve of the four-wheeled carriage is also movable, very lightweight, and can be flexibly connected with a belt with a different number of horses, one horse, two horses, three horses, or even four, five, or even ten horses are no problem.

In front of the situation, the two horses are just right together!

As soon as the horse was driven, Hu Haihe volunteered to sit in front of the coachman, and with a shake of the reins, the four-wheeled carriage ran slowly in the small square.

When they saw the carriage turn, the crowd of onlookers let out a burst of amazement.

Yan Liqiang and Qian Su sitting in the carriage are another feeling, the ground of this small square is actually not flat, but after the carriage runs, the tremor on the ground is transmitted to the carriage, after the two pairs of springs on the carriage chassis frame are filtered and buffered, it has been reduced by half, in this way, sitting in the carriage feels particularly stable and comfortable, such stability and comfort, compared to the car that Yan Liqiang sat in the previous life, the two are not at the same level at all, but compared with the most common two-wheeled carriage in the world, the comfort of the four-wheeled carriage with a spring buffer device is already against the sky。

After running a few laps, Yan Liqiang asked Hu Haihe to stop, and he and Qian Su opened the car door and walked down.

"This four-wheeled carriage was built by everyone together, don't watch from the side, come and sit on it and try it!" Yan Liqiang waved to the surrounding craftsmen, hula, and suddenly everyone gathered excitedly, and everyone began to line up according to their status to try to experience the comfort of the four-wheeled carriage, and even the position of the coachman, there were a lot of people who wanted to try it......

This four-wheeled carriage was made by everyone in the division of labor, but looking at the final product in front of them, even the few craftsmen who made them couldn't believe that it was made by themselves.

Yan Liqiang and Qian Su stood on the edge of the small square, smiling at the lively and happy scene in front of them.

"How much does this carriage cost?" Yan Liqiang asked Qian Su while looking at the lively scene with a smile.

"If you don't count the labor, the production cost of this carriage we just calculated is 78 taels and 7 yuan of silver!" Qian Su quickly gave a figure.

"Well, even if it's 80 taels, yes, it's about the same as I thought, I originally thought it would take about a hundred taels...... Yan Liqiang nodded with satisfaction.

"Then if this carriage is taken out and sold, what kind of price do you plan to set?"

Yan Liqiang stretched out a slap......

Qian Su was stunned, "500 taels?"

"Haha, Uncle Qian, you are still too kind......"

Qian Su gasped suddenly, and his eyes widened, "Could it be 5,000 taels?"

"Uncle Qian, you have to believe that there are many people in this world, and they don't like cheap things, if this unique four-wheeled carriage is sold cheaply, they will not look down on it, and feel that it is not worthy of their identity, so the 5000 taels I said is only the starting price, and the later price can be configured with different things according to the needs of customers, and it may go up!" Yan Liqiang smiled slightly.

"And how are you going to sell it?"

"We don't have to sell, we only accept the customization of people with status, and if they want our carriage, they will pay 5,000 taels of silver first, and then wait in line, and when we build the carriage, they will come and get ......."

"Can this also work?" Qian Su looked at Yan Liqiang with an incredulous gaze.

Yan Liqiang smiled firmly, "Don't worry, Uncle Qian, I said I could do it!"

"This ...... This...... If we build 100 carriages a year, wouldn't it be easy to earn more than 400,000 taels of silver......

"Can our manufacturing bureau only build 100 cars a year?" Yan Liqiang asked rhetorically, "I have observed in the past two days, and found that many jobs in various workshops and yards have great potential for optimization, as long as we adjust the processing steps and methods, our efficiency will increase exponentially, and it is not a big problem for the manufacturing bureau to build three or four hundred four-wheeled carriages a year, and in the future, I want Uncle Qian to invite a few craftsmen who are good at jewelry and jewelry processing to make the bureau......"

"Uh......"

As soon as Qian Su wanted to open his mouth to ask Yan Liqiang how to adjust, a squad leader guarding the gate of the Manufacturing Bureau had already quickly run to Yan Liqiang from a distance, handed Yan Liqiang a bronzing red post in his hand, and said, "Lord Overseer, just now a sergeant on horseback came to the door of the Manufacturing Bureau, and that person said that he said that he was the guard of Lord Ganzhou Thorn Shi, and sent an invitation to Lord Overseer......"

Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment, opened the invitation and looked at it, then laughed, and said to Qian Su, "Ganzhou Thorn Shi Leisi came to Pingxi County to inspect and want to see me......

......
