It was mid-April, and the warm spring wind gradually began to be hot. Walking on the Yu Street, even the water vapor on the Bian River that was blowing towards me was no longer as cool as before, with a tide feeling.

The sun in the sky is about to set, and it is the most lively time in Bianliang City. The people in the capital who have no worries about food and drink leisurely walk on the avenue, and the vendors who earn money to support their families are walking through the crowd, and the idle man is shaking and watching. This is the evening of the capital of the Song Dynasty, with a lazy atmosphere everywhere.

Xu Ping and a few people rode their horses to the edge of the Zhou Bridge, stopped and said to the people: "There is an oil-blocked cart here to go to the north of the city, and it's all night long. Let's send the horse here and take the oil-blocked cart there."

Several people knew that this was arranging the entourage here and not letting them join in the fun. Compared to near Zhouqiao, the north of the city is much deserted. The entourage had to watch the horses and had no place to spend time. Moreover, the oil-walled car was run by Sansi, and the people who drove the car were all military generals of Sansi, so they were not afraid of accidents on the road.

After getting off the horse, everyone stored the horse and asked the followers to wait here. Then they followed Xu Ping to the oil wall cart.

This is a bus from this era that Sanshi specializes in specializing in the company. It is much larger than the original two-wheeled horse-drawn oil-walled carriage. It usually uses four-wheeled carriages. Xu Ping did not know what the four-wheeled carriage in Europe looked like in history, but he knew the structure of the four-wheeled tractor, the structure of the tractor tractor, and also had an understanding of the trailer structure of the truck.

The tractor tractor is somewhat similar to the fully-trailed truck. The front is connected to the tractor through an articulated traction device. It is actually an upgraded version of the Western four-wheeled carriage in history. It is suitable for short-distance personnel and cargo transportation, and is flexible and convenient. However, the semi-trailer, which was more widely used in Xu Ping's previous life, is suitable for heavy-load and long-distance transportation of goods.

In the capital, transport personnel must of course use a flexible and convenient full trailer structure, four-wheeled carriage, and the front is connected to the shaft through a steering hinge device. If necessary, multiple vehicles can be attached to form a train structure.

When he arrived at the waiting oil wall truck, Zeng Gongliang said: "With this oil wall truck in the Sansi, the officials don't know how convenient it is. You can go to the north of the city if you rent a house, and you will not delay the court. You can save a lot of money in just one month."

Xu Ping laughed when he heard this: "I think it's cost-effective. You can also move to the north of the city. This oil-walled car is free to take. However, now the official room that rents a Sansi can keep the house for several months and renting a private house may not be as convenient as you go to the north of the city."

Several people were a little embarrassed. They now live in rental houses under Sansidian Housekeeping. The officials are like this, and they often put down their houses for several months. They will not make up for it all at once until the emperor has any gifts and exempts the house. There are always several major festivals in the year, or any happy events in the palace, and such good things can be encountered every year.

Of course, there are also honest and honest officials who pay the monthly rent on time and do not take advantage of this kind of advantage, such as Zheng Jian and Ji Ying. The other three people do not have this kind of awareness, and their housing money can always be delayed.

The general on the oil-walled car recognized Xu Ping, and when he saw him, he hurriedly came up to salute.

Xu Ping said: "We go to the food shop in the north of the city. You don't have to wait anymore. Let's leave now."

The general of the army agreed and hurried forward to lift the curtain of the carriage.

Xu Ping got into the car first, picked the main seat facing the back door and sat down, and greeted the others.

Zheng Jian and others came up and sat in order. There were many rules in the officialdom, and at this time, they still consciously sat in the order of going to court, which almost became their instinct.

Zeng Gongliang stood up straight in his seat, looked around the carriage, and praised: "This car is so spacious and it will be comfortable to sit in normally. It would be great if there were cars from Zhouqiao to Donghuamen, which would save the daily bumps of horse riding."

Zheng Jian had a face that seemed to never smile, and at this time he also had a serious face. He said to Zeng Gongliang: "If you want to pull other officials, you will have to collect money when you take this car."

"We are now considered to be from Sansi, so we don't have to pay."

After hearing Zeng Gongliang's words, Gao Ruonai and Ye Qingchen both laughed with a smile.

Since Xu Ping took office, the officials of the Sansi have had many more benefits, so other officials naturally looked at it. But this was added on the basis of the Sansi's monthly charge of hundreds of thousands of stagnant coins than before. No matter whether it is envy or jealous, no one can say anything.

The bodies of several people shook slightly, and the oil-walled car started to move, light and smooth, heading towards the north of the city.

Zeng Gongliang and Ye Qingchen turned around and looked at the night view outside through the glass window, feeling that everything was so novel. In the past, they occasionally made carriages when they went to court, but it was not easy to turn the carriage, so it was not as comfortable as this carriage. Moreover, the carriage was also equipped with glass windows, so you can see the scenery outside at any time on the road, and you won’t feel bored if you sit for a long time.

After driving for a while, Zheng Jian, who was sitting in the head, said, "Put the glass window open. Now the weather is good, so you can get some breath."

"Can this window open?" Zeng Gongliang reached out and touched the window curiously.

Zheng Jian still looked expressionless: "Hold the handle next to him, push it away."

Zeng Gongliang then noticed a small handle on the right side of the glass window. He carefully pressed it with his hands, and with a gentle force, the glass window moved down and a crack appeared.

"It can be opened!" Zeng Gongliang said happily. He held his hands and pushed the window open. He was so fun that he pulled it back and closed it, and then pushed it open.

Ji Ying, who was sitting on the other side, shook her head, turned around and pushed open the window beside her.

The evening wind blows in through the window, bringing the breath of the Bian River next to it, and it hits the face with a cool feeling.

"What a strong wind!"

Zeng Gongliang moved his body, moved the wind away, and looked at the others excitedly.

Gao Ruonai is a mature and steadfast person, and never acts frivolously. Ji Ying is serious and does not show his emotions. Only Ye Qingchen is a little more lively, but he is surrounded by his old friend Zheng Jian, and he just pretends that he has not seen Zeng Gongliang.

Xu Ping looked at the strange scene and couldn't help but smile: "College-in-law gatherings are just coming out to relax, they all put their worries down and let go of their mood. The airs in the officialdom will be tired after a long time."

Zheng Jian obviously disagrees with this statement and said in a deep voice: "We should know the etiquette of sages when reading books of sages. When sitting, you must sit upright and not look squintedly, and you should not be neglected for a moment. What's more, how can you lose etiquette when you are in the same car with the deputy envoy today?"

Xu Ping sighed: "Heavenly, you are all good, and you are so tired even if you live like this. Even Confucius only can only observe etiquette everywhere when you enter the Taimiao. Your son's Yan Ren is like Shenshen and Yaoyao. Why don't we learn from Confucius?"

After hearing this, Zheng Jian's face relaxed a little, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became lively. To be continued.
