"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1295
"Why is this carriage so stable?"
As the commander of the Third Field Army of the Qinghe Army, Yuan Jie can be regarded as someone who has seen the world.
Now riding in the stable carriage, he was also amazed, because it was too stable.
"My lord, this carriage was developed by the Ordnance Department, so it is naturally more stable than ordinary carriages."
Seeing that Yuan Jie and others were astonished, the groom who drove the carriage also explained with a smile.
"The Ordnance Department is under the jurisdiction of the army. Doesn't your shopkeeper know someone from the Ordnance Department?"
Although the groom who drove the carriage didn't know the specific principle, he also told the origin of the carriage, which made Yuan Jie couldn't help but become curious.
You must know that the Ordnance Department is the logistics department under the Qinghe Army. Many sharp weapons such as arrow cabinets, crossbow arrows, and sky thunders are all produced by the Ordnance Department.
Now that the Ordnance Department has actually developed such a carriage for civilian use, Yuan Jie speculates that there may be some shady transactions in it.
"My lord, to be honest, my boss does have some relationship, but it's not what your lord thinks."
"kindness?"
"My boss used to be His Majesty's personal guard, and he had no livelihood after returning home from the army, so he established this Weiyuan car dealership."
After hearing the driver's words, Yuan Jie and the others looked at each other. They didn't expect the owner of the car dealership to have such a big background.
You must know that everyone who can become Chen Ziang's personal guard is a veteran of hundreds of battles, whether it is combat power or loyalty, there is nothing to say.
Since he was born as Chen Ziang's personal guard and has some relationship with the Ordnance Department, it makes sense.
"Your Majesty now encourages the Ordnance Department to tinker with some gadgets and sell them to the people. This carriage was developed by the Ordnance Department. Our boss borrowed some money, bought it, and established a car dealership. This is the only one in the entire imperial capital. No semicolons."
After hearing the groom's explanation, Yuan Jie and the others also understood the context of the whole matter.
It turns out that there is no power-for-money transaction in this, it is completely aboveboard behavior.
"My lords, have you seen the rickshaw over there? It was also developed by the Ordnance Department. The rickshaw over there also belongs to our Weiyuan car dealership."
Looking in the direction of the groom's finger, Yuan Jie and the others saw many two-wheeled rickshaws passing through the street.
Only one person can sit on these rickshaws, and it is quite convenient to be pulled by a driver in front.
"Now our Weiyuan car dealership has sixty to seventy horse-drawn carts and ox carts, and one hundred rickshaws. It is the largest dealership in the imperial capital."
Hearing the pride in the groom's words, Yuan Jie and the others were also secretly amazed. They did not expect such a novelty as a car dealership to appear in the imperial capital.
After all, in the previous dynasty, all dignitaries had their own carriages or war horses, and at worst sedan chairs, so it was convenient to travel.
Ordinary people almost rely on their legs to walk when going out, but now that there is a car dealership, everything has changed.
As long as they can afford it, no matter they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they can take the carriages and rickshaws of this Weiyuan car dealership, which makes travel much more convenient.
"My boss has already ordered hundreds of vehicles from the Ordnance Department. In the future, not only will the emperor drive, but some long-distance routes will also be opened. From the imperial capital to various provinces, there will also be convoys for the convenience of travelers."
After Yuan Jie and the others heard what the coachman said, they were also amazed at Weiyuan's generosity.
If it is really as they said, this car dealership alone will probably make a lot of money in the future.
"I think our Jiangnan province can also open some car dealerships, which can not only make money, but also make it much more convenient."
Yang Zhong, head of the Fifteenth Banner, was quite moved after hearing the groom's description, thinking that this was a good business for making money.
"I think it's feasible."
After a little thought, Yuan Jie, the head of the legion, also felt that if he had money, he could also set up such a car dealership.
More importantly, these carriages are stable and comfortable, and the price is also cheap. As long as they are introduced in the southern region, they will definitely be popular.
Once a war breaks out, their army can also collect the carriages from these dealers to facilitate the transportation of troops.
Almost all of their third field army is infantry. If thousands of such carriages can be raised at once, then the deployment of the army will be very difficult.?The speed can be greatly improved.
When Yuan Jie and others were thinking about setting up a car dealership in the southern region where they were stationed to make money, they didn't know that the actual controller of the Weiyuan car dealership in the imperial capital was Chen Xiaoyu, the emperor's wife.
After receiving Chen Ziang's instructions, Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue also took active actions to intervene in commercial transactions.
This Weiyuan car dealership was the idea of ??Chen Ziang, and even the development plan of the carriage was given to the Ordnance Department by him.
After all, it was the emperor's will. Now that the war is over, the Ordnance Department has nothing to do, so the finished product will be produced soon.
Chen Xiaoyu appointed a former personal guard of Chen Zi'ang as the owner of the Weiyuan car dealership, and the dealership appeared on the streets of the imperial capital in such a short period of time.
Facing this high-quality and cheap horse-drawn carriage and rickshaw that can be used for transportation, it also greatly facilitates the people and officers and soldiers of the imperial capital.
The imperial capital is twenty miles long and wide. If you simply rely on walking, you may be exhausted from the south city to the north city to do errands.
It is different now that you have a car dealership. You can take a ride for the price of a copper ticket, which greatly facilitates travel.
Although Weiyuan Automobile Co., Ltd. opened not long ago, it has also earned a lot of money while winning good reviews.
They are completely a monopoly industry in the imperial capital now, because only the Ordnance Division can manufacture such carriages.
Although the owner of the Weiyuan car dealership is only the person in charge of the front desk, Chen Xiaoyu is actually in charge behind it.
But after all, he was born as Chen Ziang's personal guard, and his vision is also vicious.
After seeing that the car dealership can make money, on the one hand, he ordered a lot of cars, and on the other hand, he actively explored new businesses.
Weiyuan Automobile Co., Ltd. has decided to set up several long-distance fleets to Qinghe Province, Hezhong Province, Hexi Province and other places to facilitate long-distance passengers.
And in addition to pulling people, Weiyuan Automobile Co., Ltd. is also planning to set up several freight convoys to transport goods.
Of course, limited by the production of vehicles and the number of pack horses, all of this is still on paper.
In addition to setting up a car dealership, Chen Xiaoyu and the others opened more than a dozen banks in the imperial capital in a short period of time.
On the surface, the people in charge of these banks are all Chen Ziang's former personal guards, but they are secretly controlled by Chen Xiaoyu and the others.
Chen Ziang's idea is very simple, that is, to open this bank in the north and south of the empire in the future, so that it can become an important booster for economic development.
In order to encourage the development of the commercial economy, increase jobs, increase taxation, and change the current state of people's livelihood, Chen Zi'ang personally came up with the idea this time, allowing Chen Xiaoyu and the others to quickly seize the market in various industries.
Chen Xiaoyu and the others now have Chen Ziang's idea, and Chen Ziang's money and people, so new industries and new things in the imperial capital are increasing every day, which undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on the original merchants. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
