[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Naturally, no one paid attention to Ouyang Zhi.

No one paid attention to how Ouyang Zhi suddenly had more than 20 juniors.

These are not important.

Because everyone is attracted by this carriage.

A carriage came in slowly.

The horse in front is obviously not a handsome horse.

It's just that the carriage behind, with four wheels, easily crossed the threshold.

The person driving the car in front seemed very careful because... he was a little scared.

Liu Jin felt that her heart was beating a little fast, and she forgot what to eat before entering Fengtian Hall to calm down the shock.

He is afraid!

But this is what the prince and his godfather asked him to do, no matter how afraid he is, he has no choice.

Driving this carriage directly to Fengtian Temple, no matter how you look at it, he is trying to die. He even doubts that the emperor Lao Tzu will cut off his head without hesitation.

Liu Jin has also experienced countless hardships, and has seen a lot of things in the world.

die? Don't be afraid!

But he is afraid that he will lose his head, how will he eat in the future?

Trembling, he quickly pulled the trigger, and the carriage was firmly stopped. Then he got out of the carriage, knelt down with a slap, and made a five-body prostration.

carriage……

The civil and military officials looked at each other, a little confused.

It's just that the carriage is very beautiful.

Upon closer inspection, it is carefully crafted, and its shape is different from the current carriage.

The carriages are spacious and, above all, long because they are four-wheeled carriages. Gold leaf was pasted in many places, and there were five-clawed golden dragons on the left and right sides of the carriage, which were very dazzling.

Carriage... on four wheels...

Everyone felt a little unbelievable.

It is necessary to know that the comfort of a four-wheeled carriage is completely exploded by a two-wheeled carriage.

But the problem is that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there has never been a four-wheeled carriage. According to legend, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Hou Jing once ordered people to make four-wheeled or even six-wheeled carriages, but soon, this thing was eliminated. It's not easy to turn, what's the use?

In later generations, many chariots unearthed, even those of the emperor, have two wheels.

So that the comfort of the two-wheeled carriages was too low and too bumpy, and eventually, they were replaced by sedan chairs.

Fang Jifan remembers that in later generations, countless literati criticized the ancient people for sitting on sedan chairs, most of which were words such as servility and oppression.

In fact, this really wronged the ancients.

Given the current road conditions, coupled with the extremely poor comfort of a two-wheeled carriage, using a two-wheeled carriage to travel, dignitaries are not masochists, why not sit in a sedan chair?

But to make a four-wheeled carriage, the fundamental technical difficulty lies in the steering of the car. The four wheels just fix the direction of the car, so that it cannot turn freely. After the carriage is built, it can't always go in a straight line, right? ?

So gradually, horse-drawn carriages were ruthlessly eliminated by high-ranking officials and nobles. They didn't like this thing, and even now, people even think that horse-drawn carriages can only carry heavy goods, or transport for wealthy people.

As for the nobles themselves, it is absolutely shameful not to ride in this carriage.

But now, Fang Jifan actually asked someone to get a carriage, and on this carriage, there was actually a five-clawed golden dragon carved on it, what... what does this mean?

"Fang Jifan, what is this?"

But Liu Jian was a little anxious.

Are the crown prince and Fang Jifan courting death?

Although there are records of Han emperors riding in horse-drawn carriages in ancient times, since then, almost all emperors have traveled in yu. The so-called yu is actually a more luxuriously decorated sedan chair.

Your Majesty's birthday, you are sending a carriage, isn't this a joke?

Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jian with a grin.

And Fang Jifan also smiled, and said: "Mr. Liu, this is a carriage specially made for His Majesty. Your Majesty, I have been thinking that it is very hard for Your Majesty to travel. Let's say it is Daming Palace. Your Majesty goes in and out of the palaces. It was also very hard work, so my ministers and His Royal Highness racked their brains to make this dragon chariot and present it to His Majesty."

The ministers of the two classes almost exploded.

We high-ranking people all sit in sedan chairs.

what do you mean?

Liu Jian smiled wryly, forget it, the old man doesn't care.

Someone came out and said, "Fang Duwei, what does this mean? Since your Majesty has Buyu, why do you need a carriage?"

Fang Jifan smiled and said: "No, no, this is not a horse-drawn carriage, this is a dragon carriage, which is more advanced, please don't make it too far-fetched."

No matter how advanced it is, isn’t it also a carriage?

Emperor Hongzhi was a little speechless.

He is generous.

It has begun to gradually follow Fang Jifan's various whimsical ideas.

Anyway, it's all gifts, just accept it.

But the ministers were a little unhappy.

Even Shen Wen couldn't help worrying about his in-laws, and said: "Fang Jifan, Your Majesty is a rich man..."

But Fang Jifan said: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been riding in a chariot. What is said in Zhou Rites that the emperor drives six horses, and the princes drive four. It can be seen that the emperor has always traveled in chariots. Don't you know that you have read the scriptures and history? We, Fang Jifan, You are a disciple of a sage, and you read the Four Books and Five Classics. The sage always said that you must uphold the ritual system. This is what the sage Confucius said, not me, but now, you are all ministers, but you abandon the etiquette. What is the reason for this?"

Shen

Wen is a scholar of the Hanlin University, and he thinks it's a little funny for Fang Jifan to talk about this week's rites.

You, Fang Jifan, are also worthy of discussing this with the old man. Do you believe it or not, the old man can strangle you to death with his eyes closed?

But... what Fang Jifan said is right. From the time of Emperor Zhou to Emperor Han, the emperor really drove a car.

Emperor Hongzhi was smiling, but he didn't think so in his heart. You, Fang Jifan, are a bit of an argument. The carriage is so uncomfortable. I am old, so I don't want to mess around with you.

This car, if you like it, you can give it away, it is always a wish, if you give it away, I will put it in the internal treasury.

Naturally, Fang Jifan couldn't be blocked by people and he had nothing to say. He said confidently: "This carriage was made by countless skilled craftsmen, and it cost 99,999 taels of silver. It is the filial piety of His Royal Highness and Fang Jifan." , Why, His Majesty celebrates his birthday, so I can't give you gifts?"

"..."

Other words... Emperor Hongzhi didn't hear all of them, only the string of words... ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels...

Fuck... This thing is so valuable.

What a waste, what a waste, wouldn't it be good to give money directly?

Are you wasting money like this?

Emperor Hongzhi's heart... hurts.

It's so expensive, so the income will be covered with dust?

I saw Fang Jifan stepping forward, pointing to the carriage compartment and saying: "Look, there is a layer of gold leaf on it, and the box body of the carriage is made of the best wood, and this, do you see it?" , this wheel is made of rubber. Do you know what rubber is? It is unique in the world today. It is made of precious saplings, which are quickly sent to the cochin for transplantation. After the tree grows, it is extracted from the tree. And out, do you know how much this is worth?"

"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels. This is still a small amount. Before counting the labor, there are more than 70 most exquisite craftsmen. It takes more than two months to give them salaries alone. It is tens of thousands of taels. , It took countless efforts to make it. These, aren't they silver?"

"..."

All the ministers immediately started discussing, but most of them were skeptical. Nearly one hundred thousand taels, this Fang Jifan is probably talking nonsense again.

After all, it was just a carriage.

But Emperor Hongzhi was speechless, one hundred thousand taels, not counting labor...

He subconsciously stared at Fang Jifan's forehead, and it seemed that on Fang Jifan's forehead, he faintly saw the three characters of "prodigal son" engraved on it.

hate it.

With so much money, it's not good to do something.

But what made him even more angry was that you, Zhu Houzhao, joined in the fun. Fang Jifan has money, but you are the same? You... what is this, you are a 'prodigal son who is worse than a dog'.

The ministers were in an uproar.

That's how people are.

What is advanced?

Advanced is expensive.

If you are not expensive, are you embarrassed to say that your things are more advanced?

One hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to build a luxury house with five acres of land. This is still cash. If it is used to pay the down payment, you can buy twenty-five. It is the kind that is close to the root of Huangcheng, and there are Xishan Mencius College and Xishan Medical Branch next to it.

All the ministers can be regarded as deeply painful and disgusted by Fang Jifan.

It turns out that we gave you the money to Fang Jifan, so you just toss about this?

Think about it carefully, it doesn't taste right...

This Fang Jifan was not taken advantage of, but himself.

As a result, everyone's hearts inevitably began to panic.

uncomfortable!

But Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao looked overjoyed.

I couldn't be happier.

It was in stark contrast to the terrifying atmosphere of the entire Fengtian Temple, filled with resentment.

Zhu Houzhao even grinned heartlessly and said: "Father, this car is specially made for Father, please condescend to give it a try."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, this is a little thought from my ministers. Your Majesty must give it a try. This car, I dare to bet, is ten times more comfortable than that Buyu."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to shoot these two guys to death. I celebrate my birthday today, so you let me go for a walk around in a car.

Is it plausible?

But……

Don't try... my heart is bleeding.

I have lived frugally all my life. At the beginning, because I looked at the expenditures of the internal funds, I felt that the expenses in the palace were too high. I spent two days without sleep or sleep, and calculated the accounts one by one. Finally, I cut the expenses. Seventy-seven to eighty-eight, six to seventy thousand taels of internal expenses are saved every year, just like this... Emperor Hongzhi is very proud, thinking that he has saved money.

But now...

Emperor Hongzhi had a straight face.

One hundred thousand taels of silver... Just throw it into the water.

No way... I have to sit down, even if I die from being bumped, I have to try.

This is not a matter of etiquette, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't care what the Zhou etiquette was. It's about money.

The ministers were a little worried, and someone couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, this horse is not a human being, and it is inevitable that he will lose control. I am only afraid..."

Fang Jifan said cheerfully: "Don't worry, these are Mongolian horses. They are short in size and born with a little setback, but they can endure hardships and stand hard work. They have no temper. Like me, they are honest and responsible."

"..." The corners of the mouths of many ministers visibly twitched again.
