Four-wheeled carriages have many advantages over two-wheeled carriages, such as two or three times larger carrying capacity, no need for horses to maintain horizontal balance, smooth driving, and so on.

However, since the turning radius of the left and right wheels of the four-wheeled vehicle is different when turning, if the wheels are directly mounted on the carriage, it will cause the embarrassing situation that the outer wheels get stuck on the ground when steering.

Fortunately, this problem can be solved with a simple frame steering knot, in layman's terms, the front axle is separated independently, connected to the frame with a longitudinal axis, and the front and rear wheels are independently deflected when turning, and the problem of slip is naturally eliminated.

In fact, there have been cars of this structure in China in history, mostly used as large freight vehicles. However, due to the adaptability of two-wheelers to undulating roads and the low cost, two-wheeled vehicles have always been the first choice of Orientals, so that the steering structure of four-wheeled vehicles has gradually been lost.

Zhu Linmi, out of the need to move the capital this time, took the time to lead the craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau to try out the four-wheeled carriage. Four-wheeled carriages have considerable advantages in transporting heavy goods and saving horses' physical strength, and if they can take advantage of this opportunity to start mass production, they can also play a great role in military logistics in the future.

Moreover, Zhu Linmiao's four-wheeled carriage also has "black technology" that far surpasses that of the West, that is, shock absorbing springs and rubber wheels.

You know, the carriages of this era were all made of wood, and the axles were directly installed on the carriages, and there was no asphalt road, so the bumps in driving could simply shake people apart.

In comparison, a car equipped with steel shock springs and rubber tires can filter out ninety percent of bumps, although it is only a solid soft rubber tire, but the ride comfort is absolutely "second-killing" any carriage in this era.

In addition, the four-wheel structure is relatively stable in the horizontal direction, and the body is more spacious, so it can be said that the carriage he ordered the craftsmen to build is the "Rolls-Royce" of the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, four-wheeled carriages also have their own disadvantages, that is, they are not as passable as two-wheeled carriages. However, this car is mainly for the "luxury car" market in large towns, and there is no problem with using it in prosperous cities.

In addition, according to Zhu Linmiao's Daming infrastructure plan, the post road will be rebuilt according to the "highway" standard in the future, so the four-wheeled carriage can show its strength in a larger range.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first", this sentence Zhu Linmiao has heard in his ears since he was a child, convenient transportation is the fulcrum of economic development, and he is definitely not stingy in this regard.

After the wooden rail transit in Yunnan is put into use, other places will follow suit, which is almost like the "railway network" of the 17th century. At this time, he bothered to try to make a four-wheeled carriage, and another important reason was that it could be transformed into a special carriage for wooden tracks on this basis.

It is conceivable that in a few years, the land of Daming "railway" and "highway" are all over the place, whether it is the development of industry and commerce, or the mobilization of troops and logistics, and even communications, tourism, etc., will benefit from this and become very convenient.

Zhu Linmiao told the craftsman how to install the shock absorbing spring on the frame, and a personal soldier came to report, "My lord, the craftsmen of the Ganzhou Ordnance Bureau have now entered the city." ”

"It's finally here." Zhu Linmiao smiled lightly, "Let them settle down, and then come here to build a carriage together, the patterns have already been prepared for them." The manufacturing process is a good way to show the craftsmen here the standardization of the process. ”

Although the scale of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau is large, it is still an old-style handicraft workshop model, which is incompatible with the "advanced productive forces" of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Linmiao considered that there should be no military pressure on the Ganzhou side in the future, so he simply transferred the technical backbone of the Ganzhou Ordnance Bureau to Nanjing.

With nearly four miles of workshops and more than 3,000 craftsmen of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau, once the process standardization is completed, it will be able to burst out of terrifying production capacity, and almost his family will be able to take on seventy percent of the Ming army's weapons manufacturing work.

When the soldiers who gave the order left, Shi Lin brought tea again, "My lord, take a rest." It's noon, do you want to go back to the government for lunch first? I'm going to the shipyard in the afternoon......"

"Respond to the Tianfu Ya?" Zhu Linmiao frowned, the government office is in the south of the Ordnance Bureau, and the Longjiang Shipyard is in the north, it is too wasteful of time to come and go.

This afternoon was not only about the rebuilding of the shipyard, but also about the foundation laying of Nanjing Gezhi University. Now that Nanjing is newly restored, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, but the courtiers are still in Fujing, Zhu Linmiao has been so busy recently that he can't wait to break eight petals a day, and waved his hand and said: "Don't go back." Eh, isn't that Yuejiang Pavilion near the shipyard? The day before yesterday, I heard the government officials chatting and saying that the four happiness balls there were a must, so I went there for lunch. ”

"Yes," Shi Lin said immediately, "my subordinates will send someone to clear the field." ”

"Don't be so troublesome," Zhu Linmiao pointed to her stained overalls, "Wear this, it's very safe, don't disturb the people." ”

"This ......" Shi Lin hesitated for a moment, thinking that there were dragon guards and people from the broken camp patrolling all over the city right now, and he should be safe, so he responded with a "yes" and went to order his soldiers to change into civilian clothes.

Immediately, another soldier held a letterbox sealed with fire paint and handed it to Zhu Linmiao, "Your Excellency, this is just sent by the Tianfu Ya. ”

Looking at the imprint on the seal lacquer, this should be the music of the past two days, he took the letter and took out the brocade cloth to see.

The first recital was that the Northern Expedition to Nanjing was costing a huge amount of military salaries, and the treasury was empty, so please postpone the matter of moving the capital.

The latter is Lu Qizheng, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who asked for the restoration of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, so that the relocation could be carried out as soon as possible. The implication is that the Forbidden City should not be moved until it is repaired.

The more Zhu Linmiao looked at it, the tighter her brows wrinkled. There are a total of 14 songs, except for the Ministry of Industry's request to repair the water conservancy in the Chaozhou area, and the supervision of the imperial history Ge Yanbin's suggestion to recruit Jiangxi Minzhuang into the south of Zhili in response to the relocation of the capital, the other more than 10 pieces of music are either explicitly or covertly opposed to the relocation of the capital.

Of course, they didn't dare to say that the relocation was wrong, but from various angles they said that they should postpone it and delay it for a few years.

Since Zhu Linmi's writing ordered the imperial court to prepare for the relocation of the capital, similar concerts have not been broken. He originally thought that moving the capital to Nanjing would be a situation in which everyone responded positively, but he didn't expect that the courtiers who opposed it accounted for the majority, including Yang Tinglin, who he had always relied on as a confidant.

He put away those pieces and handed them to Shi Lin, and ordered them all to stay in the middle first, and then left the gate of the Ordnance Bureau and rushed to the direction of Longjiang Shipyard by car.

Yuejiang Pavilion is just like its name, sitting in the banquet, turning your head can see the Yangtze River flowing from afar.

Zhu Linmiao booked an Accord, ordered a few signature dishes, and dined at the same table with Shi Lin and several personal soldiers.
