Chapter 324: Kyoto Summer City
Wu State, located in the southeast coastal zone of the entire Tianren Continent, is traversed by the Yellow River throughout the country, and there are many rivers and water transportation within the territory. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and as the Kyoto of the Wu Kingdom, the geographical location of Xia Cheng is in the center of several waterways and trade routes, so the business is more prosperous.
It can be said that merchants from various countries usually go to Kyoto Summer City first for a freight transit, and then send them to other states and counties in Wu Kingdom.
Not only water transportation, but also land transportation is also very developed, and many of the official roads that extend in all directions are directly opened up by holy power spells. A constant stream of caravans, carrying goods from other countries, brought together a thriving trade in this magnificent summer city.
On the previous official road, along the way, Surin's Surin car has caused a huge sensation, and businessmen along the way want to come forward to inquire about the origin of this car. However, it is a pity that Surin was busy on the road at that time, so he asked his subordinates to exert the speed of Surin's carriage to the extreme, so those merchants' carriages could not catch up with the speed of Sulin's carriage at all.
And now, near the summer city of Kyoto, even the official road five zhang wide has become congested, and caravans and carriages from all directions are constantly driving to the summer city. Therefore, Surin also had to reduce his speed and let the Surin chariot line up behind those caravan carriages.
Therefore, in this way, these shrewd businessmen from various countries saw the wonderful use and benefits of the Surin car at first sight. If you use this kind of surin car to transport goods, the efficiency is half the effort!
After all, although the Tianren Continent is respected by thought and has more magical holy power, but treasures such as the Qiankun bag can only be worn by Confucian scholars, and it is impossible to apply it to ordinary commercial shippers. First of all, the cost of Qiankun bags is expensive, and the cheapest one is more than 100,000 taels of silver. Secondly, even if the Qiankun bag is used to transport goods, the space in a Qiankun bag is not too large, and it is a drop in the bucket for the escort of a large number of goods.
Therefore, the merchants saw the advanced features of the Surin car, which did not need to be pulled by livestock and horses, and could run fast and run day and night! This is simply the truck that the merchants dreamed of!
"Shizi! There's another group of businessmen in front of us who want to inquire about our Surin car! Shall we stop and explain to them?"
Ye Hongye said with a smile, I don't know how many waves of businessmen came to consult.
"There is no need to explain! The previous explanations to those waves of merchants, they will naturally spread out. Next, we just need to go into the city quietly...... There is no need to stay longer, but it can stimulate the curiosity of these businessmen. At that time, as long as our Surin car is mass-produced, we can quickly spread our reputation among the nine countries of the entire Tianren Continent through these merchants. ”
Surin knows that businessmen are profit-seeking, so any information and tools that can increase their profits, they will be most keenly captured. As soon as his Surin car appeared, sure enough, these businessmen were all moved, and it was easy to rely on these businessmen to spread the reputation of Surin car.
"Brother Su, your Surin car is so popular, and it will be mass-produced when the time comes. Our Yang family will inevitably cooperate with you, and when the time comes, I hope that Brother Su will hand over the sale of this Surin car in the capital to our Yang family. ”
Yang Weicheng saw the huge business opportunities contained in it at a glance, so he immediately asked Su Lin.
"That's right, Brother Su, we don't know each other anymore. In fact, I saw the difference between this Surin car at first sight, so when the time comes, the first Surin car in the capital must be sold to me first!" Yang Weiya also had his eyes shining, imagining how majestic he would be if he had such a Surin car.
"Two Brother Yang! It's hard to say, our Surin car is now cooperating with the Qian family with full authority, and within the scope of the Nine Kingdoms, with the help of the Qian family's connections. But when the time comes, the sale here in the capital, you can discuss it with the Qian family, and it doesn't hurt. ”
This is exactly what Su Lin wants to achieve, he knows that if he relies only on his talent and the support of the Su family, it will be difficult to establish his own power and win the thorough attention of those families. You must establish your own industry, make a big cake, and let those family forces see that it is profitable, so that they can cooperate with themselves for a win-win situation.
"Shizi! In front of you is the gate of Kyoto Summer Castle, and you need a document to enter the city. I also asked the prince to hand over the decree to me, and I handed it over to the city guard to report to the city guard. ”
As the capital of a country, Kyoto Summer Castle naturally requires strict identity verification to enter the city. Ordinary villagers need to have the identity of the local governor and county official to enter the city, and merchants from other countries must also have a trade permit sign before they are allowed to enter the city.
However, Su Lin entered the capital by order, as long as he took out the holy decree, those fierce city guards had to accompany them to welcome them in with a smile. After Ye Hongye handed the holy decree to the city guard for inspection, sure enough, the city guard respectfully let Su Lin's Su Lin car enter the city.
At the same time, the city guards also quickly sent a letter of holy power, reporting to the palace scholar's room the fact that Su Lin had entered the city.
"What? It's only been a few days? This Surin has already arrived in Kyoto? Not to mention the students who stopped him on the road, he couldn't have been so fast even if he rode a thousand miles of horses day and night! Could it be that a great Confucian flew over with him with a holy power spell?"
In the Shang study's room, Zhao Tian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said in surprise.
"Hehe! Zhao Shangshu is probably lonely, my family has invented a kind of machine car that does not need to consume holy power, and it can travel two thousand miles a day at the earliest, and it is constantly on the road day and night. Naturally, it's much faster than those carriages!haha......"
Su Jin, the secretary of the military department who heard the news, said proudly that he had already received a letter from his second brother Su Zhong, which explained in detail some of Su Lin's recent actions and achievements, including this magical Su Lin car.
"A machine car that doesn't stop day and night, and doesn't consume holy power......? Impossible! My Mo family's machine cars all require a huge amount of holy power to be able to drive. And in terms of speed, at most, it is about the same as the speed of Maxima, and if you travel two thousand miles a day, how much holy power will it consume!"
As soon as Sakae Sumida, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard the function and effect of the Surin car, he immediately and resolutely denied it. He is one of the descendants of Mozi, and his literary rank has also reached the level of a scholar of Hallym University, and he knows all kinds of techniques of the Mo family. Naturally, I know that such a machine car cannot exist.
The manufacturing matters of the Ministry of Industry of Wu were all handled by the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Sumida Rong. Including many Mohist files and mechanism drawings stored in the Hanlin Academy, Sumida Rong has almost all been seen over the years. Among them, there are many records about the machine car, but they are basically described as "flashy" by the Mojia Confucian scholars of the past dynasties, because of the huge consumption of holy power of the machine car.
"Su Shangshu, you see that even Mo Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry said so. He is no more authentic than the heir of the Mo family, and his words can still be wrong? Besides, if such a machine car really exists, wouldn't it cause a sensation in the entire Tianren Continent? If my Wu Kingdom has such a machine car, will I still be worried that it will not be able to become strong?"
Zhao Tian sneered and said. But Su Jin didn't fall into the trap in his words, and immediately retorted: "Zhao Shangshu, this is wrong. Just because there wasn't one in the past doesn't mean it won't be now, and it doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Moreover, Zhao Shangshu, I would like to emphasize one more point here. The machine car invented by Su Lin belongs to Su Lin's own, and even our Su family cannot occupy it. Not to mention Wu Guo, please don't change the concept in it. ”
Indeed, the meaning of Zhao Tian's words just now was that he was playing the idea of Surin's machine, if Surin's machine car was really as rumored. He had to find a way to get Su Lin to hand over the machine car to the monarch, which would directly weaken the strength of Su Lin and the Su family.
However, these premeditated plans were broken by Su Jin.
"Su Shangshu, Zhao Shangshu, these are just afterwords. However, now that Su Lin has entered the capital, according to what the court said before, Su Lin's character must be assessed and assessed. It is necessary to invite the character of filial piety from the town and turn it into "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", and then invite him to enter it, and pass the experience of "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures" before he can enter the Guozijian. ”
Yang Yunyang, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and adjusted the argument between Zhao Tian and Su Jin, and said.
"That's true! A few Shangshu, Surin's magic machine, I have seen it with my own eyes. I didn't expect it to be so fast, and what we need to do now is to report this matter to the monarch, and ask the monarch to ask for the word 'filial piety' in the town......"
Li Yuncong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, nodded and said, he was ordered by the teacher Taifu Fangzhengxin, and wanted to go all the way to observe how Su Lin dealt with those students of Guozijian, but unexpectedly, Su Lin had already defeated Sun Lixing of the Sun family, and then the other students of Guozijian Jinshi class retreated one after another, and then Su Lin sang all the way, riding the magical Su Lin car all the way to the capital.
Li Yuncong had just left the city gate for a few hours when he saw Su Lin's car from a distance, and then immediately turned back.
"Okay! At this time, it is the duty of the secretary of my Ministry of Rites, and the official will go to ask the monarch to ask for the word 'filial piety......' from the temple."
Zhao Tian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, flicked his sleeves as he spoke, entered the imperial study, and asked Sun Jianshi, the monarch of the country.
"What? Surin has arrived? so soon?"
The monarch Sun Jianshi was in the imperial study, and the eldest princess Sun Lingxiang was appreciating a painting by a great painter, and when he heard the news that Su Lin had arrived in the capital, he said in surprise.
