Chapter 210 Small things, big problems

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready. There are six brand new four-wheeled carriages directly transferred from Ye's workshop, which are very beautiful." A servant told Chang Huaiyin.

"Oh?" Chang Huaiyin, who seemed a little bored in Danyang, threw down the book in his hand and said, "Go and take a look. Finally, I can throw away the broken carriages."

The exquisitely decorated carriages from Chunnan can make them difficult for them. The exquisiteness of those carriages did not contribute to the comfort of the carriage. The long journey from Yuhang to Danyang even when there was a very high-level road, Chang Huaiyin and her husband and children suffered. While on the road, they heard that Ye's workshop had developed four-wheeled carriages from generation to generation. In just a few years, the workshop launched more and more comfortable carriages, which had developed to the terrifying 22nd generation... Sometimes two generations of products can be updated in one month.

"Your Highness..." Seeing Chang Huaiyin running out to see these carriages, from Ye's workshop, and was introducing the various characteristics of the vehicle to the handlebars of the Juxian Prince's Mansion.

"Get up." Chang Huaiyin frowned and asked, "This car looks a bit strange."

"Your Highness," the apprentice explained carefully: "This new carriage was just set last month. In addition to sending ten cars to Yunzhou for use by the Yunzhou Jinglifu Mansion, I am honored to have a distinguished guest like you to experience this new carriage first. The villain noticed that the old wooden four-wheeled carriage was used in His Highness's mansion. Because the form is too old, the villain really doesn't know how to compare the huge gap between the original carriage of Your Mansion and the current new carriage. Please allow the villain to explain in detail to His Highness......"

At the beginning, the apprentice, who was a little restrained, seemed to be interested in the workshop car, and relaxed and explained the benefits of the carriage carefully. The new carriage in Ye's workshop does have unique features, and a series of new materials and new processes are used. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a concentrated reflection of various technologies in this era. The carriage chassis is a cast-shaped H-shaped steel frame, and the casing is also installed on the steel frame, which has excellent safety. Once an ordinary wooden carriage encounters something like overturning, it is easy to be destroyed. Even if this carriage rolls from the top of the hill to the bottom of the slope, it will not be too deformed. The carriage adopts ** suspension, not a simple spring-group suspension, but a mechanical floor-column suspension. The triangular spring bracket set can

It can convert longitudinal bumps into small-scale movements in the front and rear directions, so as to better absorb vibration and make driving more stable and quieter. The windows are blinds. When the weather is sunny or when it is necessary to have sufficient ventilation, the entire blinds can be brought into the body and door with a shaker. Each blind can be adjusted individually to adjust ventilation and lighting. There is also a more wonderful small design in the car: the central control lock. When the blinds are enabled, just pull and twist, all the blinds can be closed tightly and locked. For some people, these blinds with steel sheets as the core and wood sheets on the outside may be able to gain more time for themselves when encountering an emergency, thereby changing their destiny.

In addition to ensuring safety and reliability, the carriages distributed to Chang Huaiyin and his team have almost reached the peak of this era in terms of decoration and comfort. According to the usual style of Ye's workshop, it has become a tradition to customize the decorative nature. The six carriages sent this time are tight because of the tight time for goods. Also, because Chang Huaiyin requires simple and low-key, there is no magnificent decoration. It is basically the same version of the carriages sent to Yunzhou. But even so, the carriages have already had many commendable characteristics in this regard. There are brass decorative strips on the carriages, and

The cabin with bright black paint water complements the overall effect. The cabin is equipped with a calf leather seat with excellent feel. Although there is no electric heating or computer memory sitting adjustment, it is designed according to the ergonomic design. With a comfortable curve and headrest position, the two rows of seats are equipped with springs and sponges. The elasticity and flexibility have been carefully adjusted so that people don’t want to stand up when sitting down. In order to meet the needs of long-distance rides, the seats can be adjusted several times, and can even be placed flat to become a very comfortable bed. Although the bright and mirror-like walnut decoration in the cabin is not gorgeous, it is very stylish.

When describing such a carriage, many words that Ye Tao and Tan Weixin are very familiar to you: leather seats, central control locks, walnut interiors, etc. This kind of carriage is extremely comfortable and suitable for long-distance travel. It is expensive. For Chang Huaiyin or Chang Hongquan, it is the most indifferent thing.

When Chang Huaiyin learned about the entire carriage and sent away the apprentice of Ye’s workshop. Her husband Sun Jin sighed and walked out of the side of the garden. Sun Jin looked at the carriage carefully with a scrutiny look and became a little serious. Chang Huaiyin leaned gently in Sun Jin’s arms and said softly: “What’s wrong? Take the child to Yunzhou, such a carriage will make us feel much more comfortable, isn’t it good?”

Sun Jin smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's naturally good for us...but..."

Discovering Sun Jin's hesitation, Chang Huaiyin asked, "But what?"

"Some troops in Chunnan are equipped with copper weapons, because Chunnan has insufficient iron smelting, let alone steel. However, Dongping has been so luxurious that it is to use steel as a building structure and a skeleton of a carriage, and there are many other things. The steel output alone is surprising. Of course, the Ye Family Workshop is special, so they can naturally get good steel and use it to make no other people dare to speak. But after listening to the apprentice's explanation just now, fortunately only the Ye Family Workshop can do these things." Sun Jin sighed a little.

"What's wrong? Isn't it good to have too many carriages?" Chang Huaiyin didn't understand what was going on.

"Not good, very bad." Sun Jin said with a wry smile: "The prince has asked everywhere these days. Now Dongping's ability in carriages and horses is simply jaw-dropping. With full preparation, even FedEx and DHT Express, two private companies, can already achieve an average daily transportation of bulk materials of 200 miles. The speed of high-speed passenger transport has reached an average of 250 miles per day... In other words, if we follow this speed, it will be more difficult and tiring. But it only takes eleven days from Danyang to Ningyuan...... The same distance, as long as there is a decent road, it may not be much slower. What if it is a war land? This speed will directly kill any opponent."

"Is that amazing?" Chang Huaiyin asked hesitantly.

"...it's just that amazing." Sun Jin sighed: "Maybe it's just a small matter, or maybe it's because we're too heartless. But now Dongping is becoming increasingly difficult to understand. Fortunately, some people in the court feel that in the past few years, they have taken considerable advantages in purchasing weapons and cultivating craftsmen. They also think that by sending so many craftsmen to Ye's workshop to learn, they can learn all the technical essence of Ye's workshop. Ye's workshop teaches them very carefully. This is true for everyone, but... I'm afraid the more I learn, the further the distance from Dongping will be."

Although Sun Jin did not have great ambitions, from the moment he was asked whether he was willing to marry Chang Huaiyin, his fate had a profound intersection with the Chang family and the Chunnan royal family, and it was impossible for him to not consider Chunnan. In these small matters, those Chunnan merchants might sneer at him, but the changes in Dongping were really worrying.

"It's okay," Chang Huaiyin frowned and said, "Don't be like your father's subordinates. We are going to Yunzhou to have fun."

Sun Jin smiled gently and said, "That's natural. I'm just a scholar who is just an ordinary scholar, but I don't have the ability of the prince's subordinates." After a pause, Sun Jin asked, "Then when will we set off?"

Chang Huaiyin thought for a while and said, "There will be a big show in the explanation hall of Yi Zhan Building tonight. After we go and watch it, will we set off tomorrow?"

Sun Jin tightened his arms intimately and said, "Okay."

For a person who has always liked poetry, history, music, etc., who doesn't seem to be very "practice" in learning. Danyang's prosperous cultural activities and the attitude that completely separates the exchanges and politics of literati are extremely attractive, which makes him feel even more incredible. Even the poorest literati, as long as they are really talented, can show their talents in various poetry and music meetings. Even if the talent in this area is amazing, no matter how amazing the people present are, no matter how appreciated the officials of the court, they will not or dare to bring this kind of favor to their daily work, and rashly introduce such a "talented man" into any department of the court... and this kind of promotion of talents

The matter of the son is precisely the elegant things that many princes and ministers in Chunnan like to do the most. As for the trend of large-scale dramas brought out by Danyang, it has begun to gradually affect Chunnan. Several Chunnan envoys to Dongping in Dongping gave extremely high evaluations of a series of art categories that were completely different from local dramas, such as "drama", "opera", and "poetic drama" that suddenly emerged from Dongping, and also described the origin of these things. These drama expressions, created by Tan Weixin during her leisure time and promoted by Tan Weishi, a famous literary and artistic funder, to the present situation, have become a unique landscape in Dongping and Danyang, and have also become a concentrated expression of Dongping's cultural influence.

Originally, Chunnan has always been proud, and what other countries cannot reach is the prosperity of civil governance and the prosperity of the country. Over the years, Dongping has actively expanded foreign trade while accumulating considerable advantages in manufacturing technology. Local governments have always attached great importance to tapping potential on limited land suitable for cultivation, and have steadily pioneered and cultivated. Dongping has completely gotten rid of its dependence on Chunnan in terms of grain. Now, Dongping still purchases a large amount of grain from Chunnan every year, which does not mean that Chunnan can use this method to clamp Dongping, but it is just constantly enriching the various materials that Dongping has hoarded for the war. It is said that Chunnan can clamp Dongping now.

What makes Dongping may be oil and sugar... Chunnan's vast southern territory gives Chunnan always an advantage in this regard, an advantage that continues as long as Chunnan still exists. Sun Jin began to doubt the extremely strong atmosphere of a big country and a strong country in Chunnan, an atmosphere of a little vanity and exaggeration. When Dongping, a military power, became more and more advanced in technology and economy, rose in a unique cultural attitude, and the entire country did not weaken its military enterprising spirit because of these changes. On the contrary, it would understand war and study war more deeply. How could such a country develop?
