It feels really comfortable!

The carriage was driving on the stone road, and it was not a bumpy one at all. It felt quite comfortable when it was swaying.

"Why is this car sitting like a boat? It's not shocking..."

Zhu Yijun, who was sitting in the car, listened to the words of those people, felt quite good, and occasionally turned his attention to Shi Yiwen and muttered in his heart.

What does he want to do?

Finally, after sitting back to Chang'an Street again, he got out of the car. Seeing others getting in the hurry to get in and grab a seat, Zhu Yijun frowned, but he couldn't figure out Shi Yiwen's thoughts in his heart.

Seeing the emperor's confusion, Shi Yiwen smiled and asked him to go upstairs.

When he arrived at the building, Shi Yiwen asked at the lucky carriage outside the window.

"Your Majesty, how about this carriage?"

"Sitting up is indeed more comfortable than an ordinary carriage."

Despite his doubts, Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry. He knew that Shi Yiwen would definitely explain later.

"Your Majesty, what do you think if there are hundreds of such carriages running in this city?"

"Hundreds of vehicles!"

Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen in surprise and asked back.

"Why do you need so many people? Nowadays, so many people are sitting, which means that in the past, everyone is not looking at such a big carriage, but looking at it fresh."

"Your Majesty, although I have only been here this time, I also know that when people in Beijing travel, they either take a sedan chair, ride a horse, or push a rickshaw. The first two ordinary people can't afford to ride a sedan chair or a horse. As for rickshaw, it will cost more than ten cents if they take a bus, and most people can only walk when they go out, so there will naturally be many inconvenient places. But if we open a bus along the main street of the capital, such as from Xuanwu Gate to Jishuitan, from Andingmen to Chang

Anjie, from south to north, from east to west, drive more than a dozen routes, and run a public carriage of more than a dozen passengers, not only facilitates people's travel, but also earns money. It seems to be small, but it can accumulate a lot. The population inside and outside the capital is less than one million, and it is not impossible to earn hundreds or even millions of dollars a day. In this way, you can earn hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver every day. It seems to be not much, but it can last for decades and hundreds of years..."

With a smile on his face, Shi Yiwen directly expressed his plans.

It's not impossible to earn 100,000 taels of silver in just three to five months, but if the emperor cannot do without him, he cannot think of any opportunistic methods. The public carriage is just one of them.

I can earn hundreds of taels of silver every day!

After earning for decades, how could Zhu Yijun not be moved by such a long-term income?

"But what if someone else does this? What if someone else makes such a carriage like this? What will you do?"

Shi Yiwen just smiled slightly when he was worried about Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, this carriage is not something that anyone can build. The carriage needs bearings, and the carriage needs leaf springs. Without bearings, their carriage cannot pull so many people. Even if it is pulled, the horsepower is almost exhausted. Without leaf springs, the carriage is bumpy. Who else will do it?"

technology.

The most important thing is to master the core. Of course, Shi Yiwen himself did not master the core technology. When he was building a water truck in Nanjing, he had said that he would give others a bearing pattern, so he specially found some information in the library. Finally, he found that even the level of roller bearings in the 19th century were difficult to copy with current technology.

The ball bearings on this carriage were found in the factory warehouse in Shi Yiwen's space. There are dozens of boxes of ball bearings of various specifications stored there. Without suitable raw materials, even if others get the bearings, they cannot be made. Naturally, they cannot be made.

Shi Yiwen's answer reassuring Zhu Yijun.

"Well, this business is also a good business, and this carriage should not be cheap."

Shi Yiwen of course heard what the emperor meant and quickly explained.

"It takes 100 taels to build one hundred cars, and it takes 10,000 taels. Including the expenses of buying land outside the city to set up a carriage shop, buying horses and hiring a coachman, 20,000 taels of silver, it is enough. Well, it takes about one and a half months to build a carriage. According to Your Majesty's share capital, you can almost get the capital back in three months..."

Although Shi Yiwen did not explain further, Zhu Yijun's gaze changed some times when he looked at him.

"You are really smart in business, but this business only costs 10,000 taels of silver in total. You have to think of ways and don't be idle for other money. Didn't you want to run a bookstore last time? You should hurry up and run this bookstore..."

"Your Majesty, I just wanted to tell you about this."

Shi Yiwen said tightly.

"Looking for me? What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, this is true. It is true that I want to run a bookstore, but this bookstore cannot make much money. If you want to earn money, you have to find another way. Therefore, I thought of running a newspaper."

"Handle newspaper?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Shi Yiwen and asked.

"Is it like the imperial court's palace newspaper?"

"It's not too much, but it's still a little different from the divine newspaper. The newspaper I mentioned includes news about the divine newspapers and some new things that happened among the people in the capital, such as the Zhang family being stolen, the Chen family catching fire, and the Fang family getting rich. Generally speaking, it is the people in the city who are in the city. After all, this newspaper is to be sold to the people, and it must be appointed and removed by the imperial officials. Not every citizen is willing to read the major affairs in the court, right?"

"oh,"

He looked at Shi Yiwen suspiciously, and Zhu Yijun didn't know what this matter had to do with him.

"Your Majesty, if this newspaper is done, it will be a huge profit."

"Hmph, it's only a dozen cents to report a house on the street. Just how much money can you earn if you have a copy in the capital?"

The guest muttered aside.

"My dear, you don't make money by selling newspapers, but if you have one, there are naturally some shops who are willing to post advertisements in the newspapers. For example, in this restaurant, he is unwilling to spend a few taels of silver to let people in the capital know that his wine and food are good? There are more than ten thousand shops in Beijing. With advertisements, you can earn at least a few hundred taels of silver every day."

"Then how can you make every household in the capital read your newspaper."

"The content is fresh and the price is cheap. You don't have to make money by selling newspapers. The key is advertising, as long as it's enough."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yijun really couldn't think of any relationship with him.

"Then what do you want me to do?"
