Chapter 156 Lion
In theory, it is good to be able to rush out to attack targets twenty miles away, but it is actually good to be able to rush out for one mile when uncontrolled.
A car overturn, a car overturn, an infinite car overturn and accident.
Ma Fang thought this thing would go straight, but in fact it was as uncontrollable as drinking a pound of Laobai Dried.
It not only goes forward, left, right, but sometimes it goes backward, and it is very unrestrained and loves freedom.
However... Beiyang and Ma Fang's efforts were not in vain, they did make remarkable results.
On the East Anmen Street in Beijing, a fiery red figure rushed out of Jinghaibo's mansion. With the sound of steam gushing and the sound of connecting rods rolling, it was like a ground mouse and it was a sturdy steam three-wheeler.
Perhaps it should not be called a steam car, but a finely carved work of art.
It has a finely crafted lion beaded front of the car, a pair of copper bell eyes and beads in their mouths emit a dazzling light along with the vehicle. They are three light bulbs with reflectors, which will be lit as long as the car runs.
A windshield was inserted into the raised wooden lion mane, and the little man driving a steamer was full of excitement, and he raised his arms from time to time and shouted to avoid it with a crisp voice.
Behind his seat that was integrated with the frame, there was also a curved glass, but red, and it was used to block the chimney behind him pointing towards the sky.
The boiler under your feet is even more amazing. Just from the side, it has a finger thickness. The cylinder body and rivets are painted in bright red, which is in line with the small stove ignited by the grille cover in the boiler. A small seat in the back row is filled with small coal barrels, and the buckets are filled with water.
Xiao Sanlun said it was a rushing spurt, but in fact it was not very fast. It was undoubtedly like a rushing spurt in Beijing, which was flowing continuously. However, after the three rounds, the two maids who were wearing horses and running out of Jing Haibo’s mansion were really rushing spurts.
The two of them ran so hard that they could not catch up with him if the steam three-wheeled wheel hadn't started to slow down.
But in the end, I didn’t follow the steam three-wheeler, because Dong'anmen Street could not walk 200 meters away.
The steam lion's small figure wearing a blue ysas wrapped around the sky was parked steadily under the Donghua door. He looked curiously at the four steam light cars parked side by side on both sides of the palace gate, and a row of iron horses with lights were parked on the other side. He handed out a tooth sign from the car, attached with a small hand gun and an ammunition bag that was untied from the belt.
Although he didn't get off the car, no one was concerned about him.
The steward Jinyi Captain looked at the tooth sign and returned it with a smile, checking the accompanying objects in the car. Finally, he also looked at the water meter on the car, and then waved his hand to let it go.
Two maids were following closely behind and led their horses. Looking at the Lion-Head Sanjuzi who had already entered the palace gate, drooped and drooped the head and fell down. One went home to report the message, and the other simply touched the silver in his waist bag, turned his head and spread the reins, and walked into Qingxing Building outside the palace gate.
This restaurant is the emperor's property. There is one outside Dong'anmen Square and another inside Dong'anmen Square. It is located opposite Guanglu Temple. It is all the property of Emperor Wanli. The shopkeepers are all eunuchs sent out from the palace without any trouble.
Chen Mu's business theory overseas was studied and used by the emperor in Beijing. If there was demand, there would be a market. If there was a lot of demand, then some high-ranking officials and nobles would come to the palace every day, and their servants would have to wait outside? The wind and sun, the snow and the rain would be so bad that it seemed that our emperor was not polite to the servants and maids.
Qingxing Building came into being. It was originally a theater. In Wanli's opinion, this good location was wasted. So I just spent nearly twice the market price and bought it. It mainly sells wine, food and beverages, and has an exclusive supply channel, with a new feature.
No matter whether it is the fruits from the South China Sea or the rum from the East, the roasted camels from the Western Regions or the red wine from the European countries, as long as you want to eat and drink, there is this Qingxing Tower.
The price is a little bit more expensive than the affordable restaurants around, but even the people living in the capital, even their confidant servants, do not lack the money.
Why did Wanli dare to insist that he was a confidant servant? Who would have brought him to the gate of the palace, right?
Master Wanli was not even afraid of ghosts and gods, and unlike when the late emperor was afraid of going against the sky, the emperor who ruled the unprecedented territory of the Chinese Empire was almost issued an edict saying that he was the sky.
The fruits are all grown in the goose gray pond in the palace. No matter whether the fruit is hot or cold, the goose gray pond can satisfy them. Various rare fruits and vegetables are always available all year round.
Things like cucumbers, the palace goose gray pond is no longer planted on a large scale, leaving only a little for the palace people to apply their faces. Those ordinary visible things are placed in the farms in Xuanfu and northern Zhili, and officials are asked to teach greenhouse preparations and cultivate vegetables to benefit the world.
The wine is even more interesting. The inventory in Beijing can’t be finished in three years. The number one supplier is the general under Yang Ce, the Han Dynasty. In the past few years, it has been shipped back, half sold, half paid tribute, or half sold because half paid tribute.
However, the supply has been cut off recently. Last year, a group of ships who were harboured from the West said that Yang Ce was recruited by the East to fight. After all, the East Ministers were respected, which made them not care about the regular businessmen they robbed. All kinds of Western local goods may be paid two years later.
The emperor generously expressed his understanding and asked them to convey the emperor's message: Keep up the effort, don't pull the wool to death as the family, and strive to enter the Mediterranean as soon as possible.
It’s true that since the Emperor opened these two Qingxing Buildings, sales and profits have risen sharply. Wanli was so happy that he waved his hand and asked someone to use the profits he earned to go to India to build 180 temples.
The emperor has found the trick. As for the temple, it is impossible to cultivate it well. It is best to cultivate it in a dilapidated way, so that believers are worried that the monks in the temple will make the temple poor.
A temple that can achieve this appearance is the most profitable.
A monk took three or five disciples who had become monks in a half way, brought their own money and took the five liang temple property given by the emperor, and then he could take the warships of the Nanyang Military Mansion to transfer to the Western Military Mansion warship to land in their prosperous land.
Anyway, there is no need to buy land. I wait for the Western Military Palace to allocate it. I have to rely on my ability to build temples. The five liang of temple property is for them to lend money.
Waiting for one or two years like this can achieve a return rate of ten times and a hundred times, and a perfect return of funds.
With the thud and thud, Chen Hailong, who was standing in front of him, gritted his teeth and pulled the brake lever again, complaining to King Lu who walked out of the palace after hearing the news: "Prince, this brake lever is too difficult!"
"Shh!"
King Lu reached out and carried Chen Hailong out of the car, raised his eyebrows and was full of envy, and said, "Is this the lion car the emperor rewarded you last year?"
"hold head high!"
"My mother doesn't let go. She has to wait for her father to come back to drive. How can he sit down? Isn't this what Your Majesty did for me?"
Chen Hailong competed with the seat of the car and said with a smile: "I'm so happy that I'm secretly driving it out."
