296. New Carriages

After announcing the edict, Yang Dong held it and presented it to Zhao Mengqi.

"The official also said that His Royal Highness has a hard journey, and it is okay to rest for a few days before entering the palace."

What kind of labor can I have if I just take a boat?

Lao Zhao doesn't want to see himself?

Zhao Mengqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does the teacher think the students should do?"

If you can't figure out the situation for the time being, you can't go wrong by asking Mr.

"Rites must not be abolished." Yang Dong replied softly, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Zhao Mengqi nodded, "Well, how can there be a son who doesn't greet his father when he returns...... Teacher, the students will take you back to the city later."

Before entering the palace, there are still some things to find out.

Yang Dong thought that he would not refuse, and said, "It's okay, the minister also wants to see how His Highness's studies have been in the past six months."

After speaking, he stepped aside and talked to Jiang Wanli by the way.

Immediately, other officials came up to congratulate and say hello.

"His Royal Highness has become a martial artist, and it is expected that the prince will be enthroned as soon as possible, and Weichen sincerely congratulates ......

What Wencheng Wude? I've been dominating the rivers and lakes for thousands of years.

"His Royal Highness is in danger alone, quelling the rebellion and disaster relief, helping the people in fire and water, it is really meritorious, but His Royal Highness is the country's own department, and you must not take such a risk in the future......

This guy is both sycophant and loyal, and it is obvious that he wants to be effective.

"His Royal Highness is the first genius in the world, Weichen has a little daughter, beautiful and wise, virtuous and virtuous, similar to His Royal Highness, the most admired His Highness, he composed a few ugly words, and wanted to ask His Highness for ......advice."

This is too shameless, and he will promote his daughter in public.

And there are more than one or two, all of them are full of eagerness, and they turn around and praise their junior school-age women out of flowers, as if they want to rush to stuff them into Queen Yan's house.

There are also those who sell their sons, "Your Highness's military song, deafening, and the smell of it makes people's blood boil, so the dog is determined to make contributions to the field, I don't know if His Royal Highness's guards still recruit people?"

"Weichen's nephew is quite brave, full of the heart of killing the enemy and serving the country, and I hope that His Royal Highness will be included in his command......

"Weichen has a family of nephews, only twenty-six years old, although his talent is far inferior to His Royal Highness, but he is expected to get a new branch, and he is willing to enter the palace as a scribe when the time comes......

One by one, although there are different ways and expressions, they are all actively moving closer to King Yan, and even standing in line openly.

Their official positions are not very high, but they are not low, most of them are members of the ministry, although they are only six or seven grades, they are already considered to be the middle level of the imperial court.

It is precisely because he is not up or down that he is more self-motivated and has a sense of crisis, and he can further become a bigwig, and he will basically end his political life by taking a step back.

At this time, most of them were very optimistic about the prospects of King Yan, so they were eager to take refuge in them and pave the way for their careers.

Although he looks down on this kind of behavior, Zhao Mengqi will not be stupid enough to offend people for no reason, so he can only endure it and respond with a smile.

After finally sending a group of officials, there were still tens of thousands of people waving and cheering outside.

Anyway, people are also here to greet them, and it would be too unreasonable not to say hello.

Seeing King Yan walking towards the crowd on the periphery, Chang Geng was so nervous that he immediately took someone over to sanitate.

In fact, there are no high-rise buildings nearby, so you don't have to worry too much about assassination.

And Zhao Mengqi stopped when he walked twenty steps away from the crowd, stood and waved to all sides.

Seeing this, the crowd became more enthusiastic and shouted hoarsely.

"Your Highness has a long life!"

"Your Highness is wise and powerful!"

"Your Highness blesses the people with great luck and fortune in the coming year!"

"Xiaomin also asks His Royal Highness for the blessing of marrying a daughter-in-law next year......

Uh, is this treating Zhao Mengqi as a bodhisattva in the temple?

"Let's look left and right, and finally hope that His Highness will come back, and now we can live a good life."

"Yes, yes, I heard about Pingjiang

Now that all of us are broadened, we live at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and we can't compare with them."

"It is said that His Royal Highness King Yan is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, where there is, where the business will prosper, this time he came back, but the officials asked the officials to take care of him, don't let him leave Lin'an."

The changes that have taken place in Pingjiang Mansion have aroused the hearts of the people of Lin'an.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! The slave family wants to give you a baby!"

"Your Highness, look this way! Look here! The slave family is good-looking, has a big butt, and is easy to raise!"

"A slave can give birth to ten ......"

There is a place where thousands of little ladies gathered, and on a cold day, they are all dressed in fancy clothes, revealing their white arms, and shaking colorful brocade frantically, just to let King Yan take a look.

In the face of such enthusiasm, Zhao Mengqi couldn't cry or laugh, thinking about dealing with it quickly, so he raised his hands and made a quiet gesture.

After a long time, the crowd gradually quieted down, perhaps everyone wanted to hear what Yan Wang would say.

Zhao Mengqi cleared his throat and said as loudly as possible, "Kiss or not, hometown people, beautiful or not, hometown water!"

Even if this voice is not small, among the tens of thousands of people, only the nearest dozens or hundreds of people can hear it, so Chang Geng and more than 100 other Banzhi once again act as "megaphones", and they are already very skilled in this work.

"Lin'an is Xiao Wang's home, and when I went home this time, I was very touched to be warmly greeted by so many parents and villagers."

"Especially the enthusiasm of the little ladies, so that Xiao Wang is both happy and distressed, so cold, you are too thinly dressed, if this is frostbite, Xiao Wang will be very sad, so please go home early, if there is fate, he will see each other one day."

"Other fathers and fellow villagers, let's go back first, in two days, Xiao Wang will send a small gift to every family in the city to talk about the New Year."

"Okay, please disperse in an orderly manner, if Xiao Wang doesn't enter the palace again, my father will scold me for not being filial."

The last sentence is obviously a joke, and even the class straights copied it when they retold it.

The people also laughed after hearing this, they actually didn't expect King Yan to put down his shelves like this, and he spoke very easily, as if he was the gentleman next door.

"Let's go, let's not embarrass Your Highness."

"We are relieved to see His Highness come back with our own eyes......

"When I came, I thought that His Highness had been assassinated, and if I saw so many people, even if I didn't change places and get off the ship, I would be heavily guarded, but I didn't expect His Highness to be afraid at all."

"His Royal Highness is still the same His Highness, he was so bold and fearless in front of the Ning Gate at the beginning, speaking of which, His Highness seems to have grown a lot taller and stronger."

"That's good, that's good, His Royal Highness King Yan always has us people in his heart, and being healthy and strong is our blessing......

"Scattered, scattered... I haven't been here in this eastern suburb for a while, and I don't know each other anymore, so I just go shopping."

"What is there to shop about now, construction is going on everywhere, and if you walk around, you can eat half a catty of dust......

"That is, if you want to visit the new city is built, you will come back after it is built, to say, Your Highness is really a big deal, it has only been half a year, and such a large place has a little look."

"That's not it, most of the people who work here are Taihu refugees, His Royal Highness not only gave them such a high salary, but also engaged in the meridian realm in their hometown, and recovered many people's land and real estate that had been plundered, such a great kindness, they all worked like they didn't want to die......

"Hey, isn't it, if Tian Chuan is recovered, why don't you go back to your hometown?"

"Hehe, you don't understand this? Do you say that you will earn more money by working for King Yan here, or will you earn more by going home to farm? They already have land, but it is only a dozen acres and dozens of acres, and they still have to rent some land to support their families, but here, one person can work to support a large family, not to mention that the women in the family can also work in the industry of King Yan, and the children can also study for free, I heard that His Royal Highness will give them a house in the future, it is you, are you willing to leave?"

"This ...... Only fools are willing to go, but then they don't want their land?"

"Either it's sold to the imperial court, or

I changed the field scroll, and His Highness won't let the people suffer anyway."

"Hey, it would be nice if King Yan was born earlier, my family used to have more than ten acres of land, and they were dominated by big families, but the field tax still had to be paid by my family, so I fled to Lin'an to make a living."

"Don't sigh, the edict of the official family said that after King Yan got married, he would become the crown prince, I can't say, I will take the throne in advance, and when His Royal Highness becomes an official, the life of the people will naturally get better and better..."

"Shhhh Aren't you Kong Yiji a small people? This garment on yours is much more torn than mine!"

"You, you, you! Look clearly, I'm a Lan shirt! Do you understand Lan Shan!? I am a scholar, how can I be like you...... Do you know how to write? Do you know that there are four ways to write a huizi!?"

"Are you really a reader? Then why don't you become an official?"

"Who said I didn't take the test, I ...... That's because the examiner has eyes and doesn't know the pearl, and when His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will definitely reform the government, and then I will take the exam again, and I will definitely go to high school!"

Tens of thousands of people just talked and laughed, and slowly dispersed.

In a carriage on the side of the road, Zhang Shu couldn't help but sink his face when he listened to the words floating outside the car.

I didn't expect King Yan to leave Lin'an for so long, and he could still have such a high status and prestige among the people, and there was a trend of getting higher and higher.

In this way, if you want to deal with King Yan, many means will not be used, so let's endure the dormancy for the time being and lay it out slowly.

On the wharf, when the people were almost scattered, most of the officials also left in ox carts and sedan chairs, and they also wanted to stay in front of King Yan for a while, but they didn't want to annoy King Yan.

At this time, Huang Zhi came to Zhao Mengqi's side, with a tearful look, "Ah Lang, you are finally back......

Seeing Huang Wolf, Zhao Mengqi also felt warm in his heart, but he was not angry, "Why are you crying when I come back!?" If you don't hurry up and prepare a carriage and horses for me, I will enter the palace."

"Eh, the little one is going to ......" Huang Gong hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve, hurriedly arranged, only took two steps and fell back, "Ah Lang, is it an old carriage or?"

Zhao Mengqi thought about it, and now that he was in the limelight, it was a great opportunity to advertise, so he said, "Let's use the new carriage and bring the two cars made for my father and the saint."

Huang Zhu is still quite meticulous in his work, and the carriage and horses have actually been prepared for a long time, and they are in the warehouse at the dock, and they drove out not long after.

This is a convoy of nine planes, similar in appearance, all with four wheels, but each with its own characteristics, and the materials and shapes of the carriages are different.

The first one is the most huge, the carriage is one zhang two long, nine feet wide, with rosewood as the main material, carved with exquisite patterns, just right inlaid with various treasures, the frame is teak, and then reinforced with a large number of metal parts, making the body extraordinarily heavy, nearly four thousand catties, the wheels have to be made one foot wide, wrapped in a thick layer of eucommia glue shock absorption.

The door opens on the side of the car, and when opened, a folded ladder can be lowered to make it easier to get on and off the train.

The body is full of low-key luxury and noble atmosphere, which makes people look forward to it.

The reason why I didn't pay attention to the weight problem is because this car used six horses to pull, two white, two red and two black, all of which are solid colors, lined up in front of the car, one color and one row, and it looks very dazzling.

This unique carriage in the world is naturally a great gift from Zhao Mengqi to Lao Zhao, just to make up for these six horses, he searched the entire Lin'an.

Again, the specifications are slightly smaller, but the luxury is not inferior, there are more feminine decorations in the noble, and the horses are five, but the size is almost variegated, which is for Queen Xie.

The third car is Zhao Mengqi's own, only two horses are used, the carriage is nine feet long and six feet wide, the volume is much smaller, and it is much lighter, although the materials are also precious, but the appearance looks simple and unpretentious.

The next six cars are a lot more fancy, according to the aesthetics of the Song people, how luxurious they can be, all of them are like works of art, and a sense of possessiveness arises when they look at it.

There are two horse-drawn and one-horse lightweight types, which can meet the needs of all kinds of wealthy people.

At this time, Zhao Yun, Qian Duo, and Zhao Wei also got off the boat and were inside and out of these carriages

Watching.

Zhao Mengqi pointed to one of the drivers and said to the three of them, "In addition to this one, you can each pick one of the other five drivers, and the rest will be given to Uncle Rong Wang and Mrs. Shangdang County when the time comes."

"We all have it!?" All three were pleasantly surprised.

Zhao Mengqi shrugged, "En'en, choose quickly, sit and enter the palace when you have chosen."

Zhao Wei was simply overjoyed, rushed to Zhao Mengqi, hugged his head and kissed him on the cheek, and ran away like the wind to choose.

"Hey......" Zhao Mengqi wiped the saliva off his face with disgust.

Zhao Yan stood beside his brother, biting his fingers, his eyes wandering around the five horse workshops for a while, and finally pointed to the most ingenious one, "I want that to drive, I like that horse."

Well, she is worthy of being a pet expert, others choose cars, she chooses horses.

Zhao Wei was still struggling, and at this time, Qian Duo found something special, "Why is there an iron plate on the front and back of every carriage, and there are new numbers written on it."

"Oh, that's a license plate, each car has a unique number plate, so it's easy to manage in the future, for example, my father's is the Beijing 000001......," Zhao Mengqi explained casually.

In fact, in addition to management, it will also be a profit point, just like the license plate of later generations, many people in China will be good at this.

Qian Duo didn't think much about it, "Then I'll want No. 7."

Another alternative way to choose a car.

Zhao Yan found out that his car was No. 9 at this time, and he liked it a lot.

In the end, after various comparisons, Zhao Wei chose the No. 4 car, which has a very palace atmosphere.

After all the selections were made, they were ready to set off, and the task of placing the fleet and other personnel was entrusted to the military Fang Lu of the Yanwang Mansion.

And Jiang Wanli had to arrange for those students, as well as wait for the meridian map book to be unloaded, so that they could be escorted to the household, so they had to stay at the dock.

Zhao Mengqi invited Yang Dong to his carriage, "Teacher, please get in the car."

Yang Dong looked at the most low-key and simple carriage, and his eyes flashed with relief and appreciation, "Your Highness, please first."

After everything was ready, the magnificent carriage convoy was accompanied by more than a hundred guards, and marched towards the Dongqing Gate.
