I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In addition to major military affairs, there are more major affairs in civil affairs.

In terms of civil affairs, the first rail carriage in Nanjing, the Xinxuan Line, has been laid and has entered the stage of trial operation.

The Xinxuan Line starts from the new industrial area, ends at the Xuanwu Lake residential area, passes through 20 stations such as the University Hall, Confucius Temple, Qinhuai River, etc., with a total length of 20 miles, passing through most of the prosperous areas in Nanjing.

It is expected that this route cannot meet the travel needs of the people.

But to Liu Dahua's surprise, after the rail carriage was running, not many people went to ride it.

This was quite unexpected. Several bosses in Chaotang sat down to study and analyze, and felt that the reason might be because the positioning of the track carriage was not clear.

Rich people will feel that it is not compelling to be squeezed into the same carriage with so many other people.

If you don't have money, you will feel that it is too expensive and not worthwhile to take a railroad carriage. It is better to walk a few steps by yourself.

As for the middle class, they always like to follow suit.

Those who yearn for a rich life will follow the trend of the rich in everything they do.

Rich people don't ride that track carriage, they like to ride their own private BMWs. Those middle-class people are also proud of owning a private BMW, and take a private BMW as their goal.

This has always been the case.

Among those middle-class people in later generations, there are also countless people who would rather die and work hard to get a car that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, as if riding in a car of tens of thousands of dollars will save their life.

A car of hundreds of thousands of yuan is naturally more comfortable than a car of tens of thousands of yuan, but this little bit of enjoyment is completely disproportionate to the price paid.

When Wu Changqing saw this memorial, he was intrigued, so he simply left the palace, preparing to take a ride on this track carriage in person and set an example. Tell everyone with practical actions that there is no shame in riding a public carriage.

The emperor has been riding on this track carriage, who would dare to think that riding the track carriage is an act of dropping shares and dropping prices?

As long as he praises the track carriage a few more words, who else can compare with this advertising effect?

When a person's identity is honored, he does anything casually, and the impact is huge.

When Wu Changqing wanted to leave the palace, Feng Debao of course strongly discouraged him.

It's a pity that Wu Changqing is also a bit of a self-willed person. What he decides, other people generally can't persuade him.

In desperation, Feng Debao could only follow Wu Changqing out of the palace with a few guards.

The current law and order in Nanjing is very good, but there is no need to worry about the sudden appearance of assassins.

In the past, it was a big event for the emperor to leave the palace, and the various ceremonial procedures that needed to be prepared were very troublesome, and the scale would be very large.

When Wu Changqing came here, he made an exception to many etiquette rules.

Although the other ministers were not happy, they couldn't do anything about Wu Changqing.

Wu Changqing was not the Wanli Emperor, so in the face of the opposition of the ministers, he only dared not to go to the court as a piqued response.

If someone opposes him every day and sets rules for him, he will kill.

They went out of the palace and walked all the way to the nearest station.

On the way, they did not deliberately hide their identities.

After all, Wu Changqing was doing an advertisement this time, so concealing his identity would be ineffective.

When most people saw Wu Changqing, they didn't dare to confirm it.

Because they felt that the emperor should be in the palace, and even if they traveled, they would take a large sedan chair carried by dozens of people.

Carrying a few people like this, and walking, really doesn't look like an emperor.

Ordinary people dare not confirm it, but some officials recognize Wu Changqing at first sight because they have seen Wu Changqing many times.

Immediately, some officials knelt down and saluted in the street.

"Okay, don't make so many pretense."

Wu Changqing said.

The official got up hastily, but it was too late.

His move made many people who were still guessing confirm Wu Changqing's identity.

Emperor, this is not someone you can see often. Many people have forgotten what they are going to do, so they stay and stand stupidly.

At this time, four large horses came over with a carriage and stopped at the station.

From the carriage, a few people got off.

Afterwards, Wu Changqing and the guards boarded the carriage, and the officials who recognized Wu Changqing also followed.

In fact, they still have a lot of things to do, but at this time, those things have become unimportant, and being with the emperor is the most important thing.

Although, they didn't know what Wu Changqing was going to do.

After getting on the car, Wu Changqing took a lot of the car.

Most parts of the carriage are made of wood, and its overall structure is similar to that of later buses, and there are also two rows of seats.

However, it is not as delicate as later generations, just a long wooden board as a seat.

The people who were still in the car were startled when they saw Wu Changqing, wondering if they were dreaming.

When will the emperor also ride this kind of public carriage?

Someone who recognized Wu Changqing wanted to salute, but it was not very convenient in this carriage.

Some people want to get off the bus, probably because they feel that they are not qualified to ride with the emperor.

"You don't have to be restrained, I'm just a hitchhiker, and everyone is business as usual."

Wu Changqing signaled that everyone didn't need to do anything special, and then he also picked a back seat and sat down.

The carriage restarted, and Wu Changqing chatted with a passenger in the front row.

he

He asked, "What kind of business do you do? How do you feel about riding in this public carriage? Is it comfortable and convenient? Will the fare be too expensive?"

The man who was being questioned was nervous for a while, and he didn't know what the etiquette should be at this time, whether to kneel down to answer, or to answer directly.

For a time, he stuttered nervously.

"The emperor asked you something, don't be nervous, just answer truthfully."

Feng Debao reminded.

The man came back to his senses and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Caomin is a proofreader, who is in charge of checking and proofreading typos in the article in the printing factory.

The carriage was very comfortable to sit on, much better than previous carriages, and not even worse than a BMW. It is quite convenient for people who live in places where the public carriage will pass by, and the price is also fair, much cheaper than taking a rickshaw. "

"Proofreader, it's a good job. Books are a way to convey knowledge. If you make a mistake in a book, you will mislead your children."

Wu Changqing said.

If this kind of words came out of someone else's mouth, that person would probably dismiss it.

He did the job purely because the pay was good and the job was easier.

As a down-and-out scholar who couldn't pass the exam many times, he could only do this kind of work.

But now, his job was affirmed by Wu Changqing himself, and he immediately felt full of tears.

But he was obviously self-indulgent, and Wu Changqing just said it casually.

Let's chat, of course, to say something that everyone likes to hear. We can't just rely on the identity of the emperor to laugh at the other party's lack of development potential and no future in his career.

The speed of the carriage is not fast, it is about the same as walking.

Along the way, Wu Changqing also chatted with the proofreader.

The passengers in the other cars could only feel all kinds of envy and hatred in their hearts at this time.

Wu Changqing didn't take the initiative to ask them, and they didn't dare to talk to them at will.

Neither dared to chat at will, and was reluctant to leave.

Some people have already arrived at the station, but they do not get off the bus and continue to sit in the bus.

When they got to Xuetang Station, Wu Changqing got off the bus, and the other passengers who had sat at the station reluctantly followed.

This is the same car with the emperor. This experience is enough for them to brag in front of their friends for a few months.

"This carriage is good, and it provides convenience for the people to travel. This carriage serves all the Chinese people. It will be called a public carriage in the future."

After Wu Changqing tried it out, he gave the track carriage a name by the way.
