A large group of people entered the carriage in order. It was much larger than a two-wheeled carriage. There were twenty-five seats inside, and there were shelves above the seats.

Li Shilong naturally sat in the first place. Qin Mo wanted to sit in the second place, but he grabbed him and said, "Come here and sit with me!"

Everyone looked sideways, and Dou Xuanling reminded: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules!"

"This is not the palace, and I still have many questions to ask Jingyun!" Li Shilong waved his hand.

Li Xin sat in the second row, while Li Yue and Li Zhi sat in separate seats on the right.

Gao Shilian stood and did not dare to sit down.

"Lao Gao, why are you standing here? Sit across from me!"

Qin Mo pulled Gao Shilian.

"My lord, this servant is standing..."

"Oh, it's okay, sit tight!"

"Listen to Jingyun and sit down!" Li Shilong said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Duke!" Gao Shilian glanced at Qin Mo, knowing that the previous misunderstanding was resolved. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the carriage began to move, much more smoothly than expected.

There were more than 20 people, but they were not slow at all.

"Jingyun, how much does this bus cost?"

"About two hundred taels. Only Qinzhuang can make it at present. This thing is much better than a two-wheeled carriage in terms of load capacity and maneuverability.

It's very suitable for pulling goods or transporting supplies, but the roads we drive on are so bad that no matter how good the vehicle is, it can easily be damaged."

"Hey, it's difficult to build roads!" Li Shilong shook his head. As an excellent military strategist, he could see the importance of this six-wheeled carriage at a glance.

There is no pressure to pull more than 20 people. If it is a war, if you put supplies on it, you will not be afraid of wind or rain.

It can also simplify the team.

A carriage requires at least one horse or mule.

The load-bearing capacity is less than a thousand kilograms, and if it is too full, it will put a heavy burden on the horses.

"Your Majesty, if this six-wheeled carriage is used to transport supplies, it will be very convenient. If there is a war in peacetime and one hundred thousand corvees need to be conquered, then with this six-wheeled carriage, you may not even need half of it." Du Jingming said excitedly.

"Jingyun, can you hand over this six-wheeled carriage to the court?" Dou Xuanling asked.

"Old Dou, your thoughts are very dangerous!" Qin Mo said.

Dou Xuanling said: "What did I say? Why is it dangerous?"

"First of all, this six-wheeled carriage was made by our Qinzhuang craftsmen who worked hard day and night. You gave it to the court with just one sentence. So, I would like to ask, will anyone be willing to work on something better in the future?

Anyway, sooner or later the court will take notice, who has the motivation to take advantage of others?"

"Whoever steals something cleverly will be honored by the imperial court!" Dou Xuanling said.

"This is why I said your thoughts are dangerous. What does society rely on for progress and development? Of course it is people. If a person is not motivated, how can he work hard?

It's like a farmer farming, hoping to grow more food, so that after paying taxes and rents, the family can have more food.

If you tell farmers that all their grain must be handed over, do you think they will still work hard to farm?"

Dou Xuanling opened her mouth, but was speechless due to the rebuke.

"Father, in fact, we still have many skilled craftsmen in our field. Can we respect the fruits of these people's labor more?

As long as these people understand that the things they have worked hard to develop can gain benefits and will not be infringed, they will try their best to work hard to develop better things!"

Li Shilong frowned, "Isn't this encouraging others to work hard in business?"

"What's wrong with business? To put it bluntly, there are no merchants to circulate goods, and the price of food in the capital is so high.

If merchants had not brought goods into the capital, would there have been such a treasure? Can the people have access to cheap and easy-to-use goods?

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, why should businessmen be at the back?"

"Just because business is a cheap industry, it has been like this since ancient times. These profitless businessmen can't afford to start early. They can sell anything for profit!" Li Zhi said.

Qin Mo said, "Then why did you open Tianxiangyuan? Isn't it just to make money?"

Li Zhi got mad at that time.

A fat face turned purple, "You, you, you, you are talking nonsense, I, when did I open Tianxiangyuan?"

"You dare to do it but don't take it seriously, right? It's something that many people know, but you still don't admit it! It's useless not to admit it, since it's something that everyone knows well anyway." Qin Mo said.

At this moment, everyone looked at Li Zhi with disdain. Li Xin suppressed a smile, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, you too have today."

Li Yueshuang is not good enough. If you come here every day to beat the autumn wind, you have to let a fool take care of you.

Li Shilong couldn't keep his face any longer and cast a scrutinizing gaze!

"Father, don't listen to what idiots say. I really didn't open Tianxiangyuan, I really didn't!" Li Yue was so angry. He originally wanted to threaten Qin Mo with this matter, but now it's okay. Dare not say.

If you say it, won't you confirm your decision to open Tianxiangyuan?

"Fourth brother-in-law, I'm not telling you, you are too timid, a man, you dare to act, you will never be able to eat four dishes in your life!" Qin Mo felt that he was quite generous, and he didn't say this until now , it’s really cheap for Li Yue.

Li Zhi was angry and anxious, "Father, believe me, I really don't..."

Li Shilong waved his hand and interrupted him, "Okay, don't embarrass me here. You don't know what Jingyun's temper is? He can say anything, but he can't lie!"

Li Zhi was about to cry but had no tears. He looked at Qin Mo with a naive face and hated him to death.

You lost your wife and lost your troops, now you are in trouble!

Li Shilong was clear in his heart, but he didn't expect Qin Mo to say this at this stall. It was really embarrassing.

He changed the subject and continued: "Jingyun, keep talking!"

Qin Mo scratched his head, "Where did I just say that?"

"County Lord, you just said that without merchants, it would be impossible for the people to use cheap goods!" Gao Shilian reminded.

"Yes, why should a scholar be in front of the people? Without the support of the people, a scholar can study in peace and quiet?

People should be ranked first, followed by workers, because industry is the cornerstone of social progress. To put it bluntly, without craftsmen improving tools and creating various tools, we are still stuck in a primitive society!

A small step forward for craftsmen is a big step forward for society!

Secondly, merchants bring goods across the country and circulate them, enriching people's lives. Although they make money, they deserve what they earn. As long as they are not profiteers and as long as they pay wages on time, it is an increase in the labor force. Only when you have money to support your family can you spend money, can the court collect taxes, and only then can you become rich and powerful.
