Chapter 63 Xiangche Beauty

A wide four-wheeled carriage slowly moved along the official road, Li Xiuning was actually reluctant to ride the carriage, she preferred to gallop on horseback, enjoying the feeling of the wind whistling in her ears.

However, this carriage was given by Chen Ying. Li Xiuning didn't want to live up to Chen Ying's good intentions, and of course, the most important thing was that Li Xiuning was also very satisfied with this carriage. This four-wheeled carriage, the whole carriage is three feet six feet long and one foot wide, even in later generations, this specification of the car also belongs to the level of medium buses. In this era, it is even more behemoth. The carriage, which is three feet and six feet long, is divided into two in the middle, one side is used for resting, a soft couch is arranged, and there is a drawer attached to the wall of the carriage to place the belongings that can be carried with you, and a desk is arranged in the front for office work or reception.

The key is that this huge carriage requires five horses to pull, although it does not look luxurious on the outside, but the interior decoration is very warm, the bedroom at the back, there is a small charcoal stove, which can be used to make tea, or steam some food, and the roof of the carriage also has a skylight, if you want to bask in the sun, you can also lie on the soft couch to bask in the sun. The four corner pillars and the illuminated wall are all hollowed out, and the candlesticks are placed inside, even at night, if necessary, the candles can be lit in this carriage.

Adopt a dual shock absorption system of bridge shock absorption and spring shock absorption, and sit on the carriage without the slightest pain of bumps. It's the perfect piece of gear for a long trip. Of course, this is Chen Ying's intention, there is only one such carriage in this world.

To Chen Ying's surprise, the four-wheeled carriage with shock-absorbing equipment sold very well. In this era, the vehicles used by people to travel are usually Rong cars, although Rong cars can travel, but they cannot shelter from wind and rain. Of course, there is also the chariot, which is a light carriage with a roof, but it is ventilated on all sides, although when it rains, it can keep out the rain, but when the wind blows, it still bears the cold wind.

More advanced is the car, the car has a closed compartment, can block the wind and rain, the body is also large, its facilities are laid out, can sleep, can live, can ride, more comfortable. In short, it's the same as the shape in film and television dramas.

In ancient times, the value of the car was very high, even the simplest car, is the kind of two-wheeled car with handrails, the later generations of rural manpower frame car, in fact, is derived from the car, is simply two wheeled vehicles and a large wooden board composed of a car, in this era also needs 20,000 yuan, that is, twenty runs, people who can have their own car, in fact, are people with a solid family background.

The chariot is a carriage with roller bearings, although the shape is not complicated, but the value is not low, a full 50,000 yuan, that is, fifty yuan, the family who owns the chariot is at least a Shu landlord. As for the Anche, the price varies from 100 to 500 kan depending on the material used and the width and width.

At this time, Anche is actually a status symbol of the world, which is simply a fight with the Mercedes BMW of later generations, but although Anche is valuable, it is bumpy because there is no shock absorption. No matter how strong a person is, sitting for 300 miles is like having a serious illness.

Chen Ying sent a four-wheeled carriage to Chen Qi, Chen Qi had not enjoyed it for two days, and was forcibly recruited by Li Yuan, Li Yuan liked this four-wheeled carriage very much, but because Chen Ying's carriage was too vulgar, Li Yuan ordered the master craftsman of the Shaofu Prison to build a big chariot according to the system of the big chariot.

The big chariot is the exclusive of the emperor, ordinary people naturally have no way to ride, but the princes and nobles have also followed suit, but the Shaofu Supervisor can not completely prevent the four-wheeled carriage, the most critical technology is the shock absorption device and spring steel, Chen Ying provided two sets of bridge shock absorption to the Shaofu Supervisor, twenty-four groups of spring shock absorption, and the Shaofu Supervisor paid 8,000 yuan.

Of course, Li Yuan's four-wheeled jade chariot cost more than 20,000 yuan alone.

However, the Chinese have had a style of comparison since ancient times, and Li Yuan's big driving jade chariot was simply a living advertisement for Chen Ying, although Pei Lian did not use the style of the big driving jade chariot, he ordered a simple version of the four-wheeled carriage to Chen Ying, the style was much smaller than Li Xiuning's four-wheeled carriage, only two feet long and one foot wide, but precious woods such as sandalwood and yellow pear were used as decorative materials.

Chen Ying, in line with the idea of not taking advantage of it, opened his mouth and asked Pei Lin for 12,000 yuan. Originally, Chen Ying planned to do business and pay attention to the sky-high asking price, and repay the money on the ground, but he didn't expect Pei Lin to pay the full amount without blinking his eyes, and directly clapped the board, and paid the full amount four times.

Pei Lin sat in his new four-wheeled carriage to show Li Yuan, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Shiwen, and Xiao Shiwen, the Duke of Song Guogong, placed an order with Chen Ying that night, and he must make a four-wheeled carriage exactly like Pei Lian.

Chen Ying's heart blossomed, in fact, although he used a lot of precious wood to build his four-wheeled carriage for Pei Lian, and it cost a lot, but overall, excluding the expenses of craftsmen, it was only 3,400 yuan, and he earned a full 8,600 yuan.

Chen Ying didn't expect that Xiao Shiwen's customized carriage had not yet been half done, and Chen Shuda also placed an order with Chen Ying, but the specifications were slightly inferior, and the order was 10,000.

Chen Ying saw that this was a good source of money, and he happened to use the craftsmen from Lingzhou to build a carriage workshop. However, Chen Ying knew that things were scarce and expensive, and for Chen Shuda's order, Chen Ying promised Chen Shuda that it would take at least two months to go to the Yuan Festival in the third year of Wude at the earliest.

Chen Ying gave this extra-large four-wheeled carriage to Li Xiuning, the purpose is naturally not simple, because Li Xiuning's carriage not only has functions such as washing, grooming, sleeping, boiling tea, steaming rice, playing chess, entertainment, etc., these functions will definitely make the princesses, county lords, and wives of the Tang Dynasty rush to it.

As long as the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are activated, Chen Ying's carriage business will definitely be profitable. There is no way, Chen Ying is short of money at this time, not only because of the construction of Chen's Dock Fort, but also because he wants to build a Mo Dao Army for Li Jiancheng, but the equipment of the Mo Dao Army is too expensive, although the crucible steel can solve the problem of Mo Dao being easy to break, but there are no raw materials around Chang'an, all raw materials need to be transported from other places, and the cost itself is very high, Chen Ying had to hit the idea on the heads of these princesses, county lords, and wives.

Who called a woman's money so easy to make?

Hearing that Li Xiuning was coming, Chen Ying also prepared a good gift for Li Xiuning, of course, the ultimate goal was to make money.

……

Li Xiuning sat in the carriage, his brows furrowed, and his mood was very heavy. What made Li Xiuning most helpless was that the Chai family did not let go of their mouths and insisted on letting Li Xiuning observe the festival for Chai Shao. Although Li Yuan doesn't want Li Xiuning to die a widow for the rest of his life, Li Yuan now owns the world, and his Hu blood is his weakness, if Li Xiuning is forced to remarry, I am afraid it will cause criticism in the world. The problem that Li Yuan considered was the world, the society, and the Li family's Wantong country, as for Li Xiuning's problem, he just wronged her.

Every time she thinks about this, Li Xiuning feels panicked. For the sake of this Tang Dynasty, she also worked hard and fought bloodily, but it was unceremonious to say that if it weren't for Li Xiuning's women's army occupying two-thirds of Guanzhong, it was unknown whether Li Yuan could capture Chang'an and sit firmly in Guanzhong.

But now, Li Yuan's ruthless performance made Li Xiuning feel inexplicably cold. Li Xiuning was in a bad mood, so she naturally thought of Chen Ying, but she understood Chen Ying, at this time, Chen Ying was eager to split herself in half and use it, and she was so busy all day that her feet didn't touch the ground, Li Xiuning wanted to go outside the city to relax.

When the carriage came to Qinglin, Li Xiuning's personal maid Cui'er was like a curious baby, pushing the car window, sticking her head out of the car window, and looking at Qinglin. For Cui'er, every place in the forest is new and unfamiliar.

As soon as she entered the clear forest, Cui'er shouted, "Princess, you see that there are many people outside......"
