Chapter 279: A New Carriage

The reason why Zhao Hao wanted Lin Run to see the doctor was because he remembered that Lin Run would die in office in the third year of Longqing.

Lin Run was only thirty-nine years old in the third year of Longqing, and he should obviously have died of illness. Therefore, he adhered to the principle of early examination, early detection, and early treatment, and proposed medical advice to Lin Zhongcheng.

But Lin Run didn't have time to seek medical treatment, and he had no choice but to go back and wait for Lin Run to leave Songjiang, and then ask Wan Mizhai to go to the doctor.

What, what year is it?

~~

Zhao Gongzi's motorcade left the governor's office and went to Shuyuan Lane.

Because the predecessor of the governor's office was the Heshan Academy in the Song and Yuan dynasties, it got this name.

It is said that this street should be named Fuyuan Front Street or Fuyuan Front Street, but the people of Suzhou have been stubbornly not changing the name, as if they are expressing their untamed in this way.

Zhao Gongzi's car drove slowly on the bullet stone road, which was much more comfortable than an ordinary carriage, because it was a four-wheeled carriage with tires.

The tires are solid tires that are made of eucommia glue and vulcanized directly on the rim. After the carriage is replaced with these tires, the vibration and noise during driving are much reduced, and the comfort is greatly improved.

But in fact, what was even more revolutionary was the wheel structure of the carriage.

Nine percent of the carriages of the Ming Dynasty were two-wheeled. This is because the four-wheeled carriage of the Ming Dynasty simply assembled four wheels into the frame, and the two front wheels could not rotate left and right.

This four-wheeled carriage is ok to travel on straight roads. However, once turning, it is necessary to use more animals to pull hard to complete the steering, which is naturally not as practical as the two-wheeled carriage with flexible steering.

Therefore, at this time, four-wheeled wagons were extremely rare, and four-wheeled horse-drawn carriages only appeared on ceremonial occasions.

However, the stability, comfort, and carrying capacity of the four-wheeled carriage are incomparable to the two-wheeled carriage.

So how can you make the four-wheeled carriage steer flexibly?

Zhao Hao told Zhang Zai that in fact, this problem is not difficult at all, only the first two wheels of the carriage need to be mounted on one frame, the rear two wheels are mounted on the other frame, and the front and rear frames are connected by a vertical shaft.

It's actually a combination of two two-wheelers. The age-old problem of 'four-wheeled vehicle steering' has been ingeniously solved.

And in addition to the 'bogie', Zhao Gongzi also 'invented' the 'shock absorber'.

In a traditional horse-drawn carriage, two pieces of wood were attached to the bottom of the carriage and the axles were tied to it with ropes. The shape of the wood resembles a crawling rabbit, so it is called a 'rabbit'.

Fu Rabbit separates the axle from the cabin, which plays a certain role in shock absorption.

Zhao Hao asked the high-speed railsmith to buckle the two bow-shaped low-carbon cycad steel plates together, and a primitive 'steel plate shock absorber' was completed, and it was used to replace the rabbit, and the effect was immediate.

With the blessing of rubber tires, steering gear and shock absorbers, Zhao Gongzi finally single-handedly caught up with and surpassed the European contemporaries of Daming's vehicle manufacturing level and reached the world's leading level.

~~

Sitting in a new carriage with a thick soundproof carpet and comfortable soft chairs, Zhao Gongzi almost felt like he was sitting in a car.

Although the car only has two horsepower, it still makes him feel extremely satisfied.

Wealth has reached the level of Zhao Gongzi, and the threshold that can make him feel enjoyment is getting higher and higher.

Those things that ordinary people enjoy incomparably, or even cannot enjoy, are simple, boring and boring in his eyes.

Only others can't enjoy it, and this unique treatment in the world can make him find heartfelt pleasure.

Zhao Gongzi sat comfortably on a soft chair covered with sapphire blue velvet and filled with natural sponge, holding a transparent goblet glass in his hand, and glanced lazily at the slightly swaying scarlet in the cup from time to time...... Pomegranate juice.

More often than not, his eyes look through the glass lathe at the busy people on the street.

It was the shopkeeper yelling at the guys to clean up the messy shop; It was carpenters and painters repairing broken doors and windows, counters; It was the weavers who hurried to the workshop with bags of raw silk on their shoulders......

It's already October, if you don't start work quickly and snatch back the lost time, how can you have money for the New Year?

Looking at the city of Suzhou, which had regained order and vitality, Zhao Gongzi's heart swelled with a strong sense of satisfaction.

This is all thanks to this son. He raised his glass lightly and saluted the busy citizens on the street.

"No thanks, just work hard for my son."

On the street, the citizens were busy with their work, and they looked sideways at this convoy of wind, and said sourly:

"This carriage is different, four wheels."

"Burn the bun, isn't it enough for the two?"

"But it's pomp, I don't know whose master went out?"

"I haven't seen it, this team is very angry."

"Anyway, it's all big dogs, phew!" The citizens will be angry and will vent their anger on the swaggering convoy that passes through the city.

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

Fortunately, the carriage was soundproofed, and Zhao Gongzi didn't hear it, otherwise he was afraid that his heart would be broken.

~~

So Zhao Gongzi was able to maintain a happy mood and came to the cold incense garden located on the street in Panmen.

This is Jiang Xueying's garden. Its name 'cold incense' comes from Ma Zhiyuan's 'rose dew, lotus leaf rain, chrysanthemum frost cold incense'.

Wu Ji is headquartered in Suzhou, where Jiang Xueying spends most of the year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is her home.

Zhao Hao has not yet bought a house in Suzhou, and he wants to stay in the city for a few days this time, so he originally planned to let Gao Wu go to the Baojia Inn.

But Sister Jiang tried her best to invite him to live in Lengxiangyuan, but Zhao Gongzi couldn't refuse, so he had to rely on her.

This garden is not too big, covering an area of 'only' eight acres and three points, but it is better in the exquisite layout and ingenuity, which makes people move to change the scenery, such as in a painting.

After entering the park from the west gate, it is the flower hall of the courtyard to entertain guests, and the interior is clear and simple. Equipped with finely carved wenge lattice windows, you can enjoy the exquisite scenery of plum bamboo, plantain and rockery in the small garden behind the hall.

Turning the rockery, the true essence of this cold fragrance garden comes into view. I saw a pool of blue waves in the center of the garden, surrounded by rockeries, promenades, water pavilions, and towers.

The promenade and the water pavilion are built around the pond, and the north looks across the bank, and the corridor is repaired and the willows are still around. The west is a cluster of terraces for the owner's family to live in, all of which are long glass windows, and the hall is high and open, which is very atmospheric, which is very rare in other Suzhou gardens.

The terrace in front of the hall is wide and faces the pool. The terrace is also connected to an ancient nine-curved stone bridge.

Under the guidance of the maid, Zhao Hao walked along the stone bridge and came to the double-storey pavilion in the middle of the pool.

I saw that on the lintel of the pavilion, there was a plaque that read 'Shuiyun Pavilion'.

On the couplets on both sides of the door, is Su's bearded poem, 'The plains and water clouds dissolve, and the small building is sunny and sunny'.

Zhao Gongzi walked into the building.

In the pavilion, the veil hangs lightly, and there are bookshelves, bogu shelves, incense burners, desks, piano tables, and chess scales for playing games.

and three cute girls.
