Chapter 845: Entering the Electric Age

It is already late autumn in September.

The outskirts of Chang'an began to become cold and stern, and the official roads were rushing up, and most of the caravans coming to the city to deliver goods were mostly caravans from all over the city.

On both sides of the road, the mountains of garbage have been cleaned up, and the dilapidated building materials have been classified. The wood that can be used is pulled into the paper mill, and the soil slags and gravels are also taken out of the brick kiln for recycling. The remaining domestic garbage is burned in one place.

Li Shimin learned a complete set of urban management systems from Shuofang, copied them directly, and it immediately had results.

Next to the official road where the shrubs were replanted, a large number of telephone poles stood up ten days ago.

Every ten meters, the cables as thick as fingers drooped on it, extending from Luoling River five miles away to Chang'an City...

Several craftsmen who were carrying out the final repair work took the time to sit on the floor beside the road, cooking their lunch food in the ground pot in front of them. It was a pot of fragrant dumpling soup, and there was a circle of steamed buns next to the ground pot and hot.

The craftsman in the lead is about in his early thirties, with a hunched body and a vicissitudes of life.

"Do you know how to cut? At yesterday's auction, it was said that copper coins were transported into more than 200 baskets. That basket of copper coins was 50 stagnant. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"That's right? I heard that the one who took the most things yesterday was the young man from the Chamber of Commerce. He bought more than 50,000 guan in one go. In the end, the Goguryeo female slave spent a total of 5,000 guan."

"I'm a god, 5,000 guan. How can one person be worth so much money? The next year, Zhou Laoer of our village sold his daughter, and the two daughters sold three guan coins together. It was still the high-ranking official who felt sorry for his two sons in his family to support him, so he gave him more than Yi Guan."

"Oh, who said no, people are so angry that they are more popular, cough cough cough..."

"Lao Liu, your cough is getting worse and worse. Every time you get winter, you cough like this. I think you should go to the pharmacy to get some medicine."

"Haha, it's okay. That medicine is expensive. My child will be fifteen next year, so it will cost a lot of money to marry a wife."

"Ran Rang, Rang Rang, don't make fire there. I have said how many times I have said that I can go to the stall at the city gate to eat. I can't spend a lot of money. Let go out first, and the nobleman's car is coming."

While several craftsmen were chatting, a soldier next to him ran over.

The soldier scolded him a few words, hurriedly pushed the person back and gave way out the entire official road.

After about ten breaths, a classic car with golden light passed slowly in front of them.

The soldier bent down respectfully. Seeing this, several craftsmen followed suit, probably hitting the noble man in the car.

At this time, the back window of the old car fell down, and a handsome boy with white face poked his head out, wrinkled his nose, revealing an intoxicated expression.

He glanced at the boiling broth soup in the pot, licked his lips, turned his head and smiled, "Your Highness, let's go to eat broth soup for lunch, and two more Roujiamo, tsk, it's so delicious!"

As the boy said, he had already lifted the car window, and the classic car slowly left, and finally merged into the convoy entering the city.

It was not until he couldn't see the old car that the soldier stood up, glanced at the ground pot, and remembered what the boy said, and his stomach started to rumble unconsciously.

Seeing this, the craftsman in the lead greeted him with a smile: "Brother Qin, you haven't eaten Chaoshi yet. How about it? I'll deal with our brothers here. The dumpling soup has just been cooked, and it's so delicious to dip the steamed buns!"

The soldier swallowed and saw that the pot was not big, and the craftsmen were afraid that they would not be enough to eat. After thinking about it, he took out more than a dozen copper coins and threw them to the craftsman leader, and said, "I won't take advantage of you either. If you ask someone to buy a few meat buns at the gate of the city, we will be competing for the pot."

The craftsman was not shy, and smiled and took the copper coins and ran towards the city gate himself.

The remaining craftsmen began to greet the soldier. They were very reserved at first. After chatting for a while, they saw that the soldier was generous and open-minded, and the topic gradually changed from flattery to the auction yesterday. After all, this was the hottest topic in Chang'an City these two days.

After the classic car drove into the city, the originally slow speed became much faster.

Compared with the official roads outside the city, the main roads of Chang'an City are not only wide, but also flat on the ground, which is very suitable for electric vehicles.

Xi Yunfei went to Luolingjian today, mainly to understand the progress of the Electric Power Department.

Princess Pingyang, who had lived in Luolingjian for more than ten days, happened to return to Chang'an, so she took Xi Yunfei's ride-hailing ride.

The classic car entered through Fanglin Gate, walked around half of the imperial city, and finally drove into a hot restaurant in Dongcheng City.

The restaurant is called Zuixianju, which is one of Cheng Cui's dowry. When the business was not good, it was renovated and opened, thanks to Xi Yunfei's help, and quickly gained a foothold in Dongshi. Now it has become one of the hottest restaurants in Chang'an.

When he learned that Xi Yunfei and Mr. Pingyang were here to have a meal, the shopkeeper personally went to the door to greet him and led the two leaders in the large private room on the third floor along the way.

Xi Yunfei revisited the old place. Looking at the decorations in the private room, he couldn't help but think of the cute foodie. He didn't know if she was studying in Shuofang University Town.

The food was served quickly. As soon as Xi Yunfei picked up the chopsticks, the private rooms were knocked by someone.

Li Xiuning and Xi Yunfei looked at each other and smiled, saying loudly: "Sir Changsun, why should you be polite? Just come in directly."

The door of the box was pushed open in response, and the person who came was another big boss of the Electric Power Department, and his uncle, the eldest son of the eldest son of the country, was also the same.

Changsun Wuji didn't come alone, and he also brought two maids behind him, and each of them was carrying a food box.

"I have met Your Highness and My Lord, haha, I originally wanted to bring some snacks I made from home to Luolingjian, but I didn't expect that the streets would inform you halfway, saying that you have returned to the city. After some inquiries, I found out that you are here in Zuixianju."

When Changsun Wuji left the city, he happened to hear the conversation between the craftsmen and the soldiers on the official road. After asking, he realized that Xi Yunfei's classic car had returned to the city. With his energy, he found the place where the two of them could go without a moment.

Xi Yunfei pointed to the empty seat beside him and invited Changsun Wuji to take the seat. Then he said, "I went there this morning and found that the cables were basically connected. There were craftsmen repairing several small details. I wondered if I could fix the office of the Electric Power Department? What did Lord Changsun think?"

Changsun Wuji sat down, and after hearing Xi Yunfei's words, he stood up again, and nodded in joy: "Great Shan, should this be the case, Erlang has calculated his life?"

Xi Yunfei didn't care about these things, but he knew that the ancients paid great attention to it, and Ma Zhou had already made arrangements, so he smiled and nodded and replied: "It's the day after tomorrow. On the third day of September, the days have been settled, business will be opened and wealth will be gathered, and business will be prosperous."

"Hahaha, it's good the day after tomorrow, so I have to send some invitations quickly to avoid being too deserted and not looking good."

As he said that, Changsun Wuji turned around and was about to leave. As soon as he raised his footsteps, his smile stumbled on his face and turned around and asked, "But I don't know if the wires are enough. If the business is too prosperous and the wires are not enough, isn't it good?"

Just then, a hearty laughter came in outside the door of the private room.

"Hahaha, is Lord Changsun burying Hou? The wire shop is continuously produced for twelve hours a day. Now there are more than 2,000 bundles of wires stored in the warehouse, which is enough to circle Chang'an City!"
