Chapter 375 Looking for Tang He

"Sons, please see the father!"

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

As soon as Zhu Biao returned to the palace, he was called by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Biao'er, we heard that Zi'an has built a large number of four-wheeled trucks in the past few days?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

In just one afternoon, dozens of four-wheeled carts had already been passed down into the most exquisite and spacious carriage in the world.

Wei Zhan and others naturally did not dare to ignore such a thing. After exploring it clearly, they hurried into the palace to report it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.

However, after learning that there were more than fifty carriages in this batch, I felt relieved.

"Back to Father, that's right!"

Zhu Biao replied directly.

"This afternoon, Zuo Lin and others took the veterans from the Hai Trade Courtyard to assemble a total of 52 carriages!"

"Fifty-two?"

The specific number is much more shocking than the approximate number, and Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.

"We heard rumors outside the palace that these carriages are extremely large and exquisite. They are three feet long, one meter tall and one meter wide, even wider than our big yard!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao's expression tightened and he quickly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. After seeing that there was still a smile in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Father, this is a pure exaggeration! Such a big carriage is so luxurious, how many horses are needed to pull it!"

"In the entire Ming Dynasty, only the father's great deeds are the largest carriage. No matter how wonderful Brother Zi'an's idea is, he would not dare to build such a large carriage!"

"We know!"

After hearing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

This kid Biaoer has also learned to flatter!

"But, Biao'er, do you know what Zi'an wants to use for building such a large carriage?"

"Brother, my second brother has so many carriages to drive!"

Zhu Biao replied quickly.

"Carriages and horses are on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked stunned.

"Use such a luxurious and spacious carriage to make a carriage business? How can this make money? How many people in the whole world can rent it?"

"Don't worry, my father, I have also asked about this matter. The carriage and horse carriage that my second brother wants to drive is very different from the ordinary carriage and horse carriage."

Zhu Biao smiled slightly and quickly explained: "The carriage that my second brother drove was not a taxi carriage. Instead, he was planning to use these carriages as a bus."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was as confused as he was, he explained again.

"Father, the meaning of a bus is a carriage that everyone can ride. My second brother is preparing to build more than 100 carriages, specifically transporting passengers and goods between Shangyuan, Jiangning, Jurong, Liyang, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu, Liuhe County and Nanjing City!"

"After an hour, there was a carriage that shuttled between Shangyuan, Jiangning, Jurong, Liyang, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu, Liuhe County and Nanjing City.

In addition, in Nanjing, every half an hour, there will be a carriage driving along the main streets such as Nanmen Street, Dongmen Street, Ximen Street, etc. in Nanjing City, from south to north, from west to east, etc.

On the way, passengers on these carriages can get off at any time.

In addition, when people on the way see these carriages, they can also take the car at any time. Moreover, they charge different money depending on the distance of the car. However, it will not exceed five cents at most."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked surprised.

It took me a while to sort it out.

The shock on his face was even more intense.

"Biao'er, in this way, it only costs five cents to take a carriage to the north gate of Nanjing City from the south gate of Nanjing City? And it only costs five cents to take a carriage to any county town such as Shangyuan and Liuhe?"

"Back to Father, that's right!"

Zhu Biao replied quickly.

"If this is true, Zi'an's actions are a great event of great merit!"

Zhu Biao is still young and does not understand how important it is to travel between Nanjing City and Liuhe, Shangyuan and other surrounding eight counties.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

As long as this kind of carriage and horse business is opened, Nanjing City will be completely connected with the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan, Jiangning, Jurong, Liyang, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu and Liuhe.

By then, Zhu Yuanzhang would not dare to think about how great the grand occasion would appear.

"More than the father and emperor praise me, the second brother will definitely not lose money in the business!"

Zhu Biao smirked and quickly bowed.

Seeing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Then he asked, "Biao'er, Zi'an's carriage will officially open!"

"Return to my father, my second brother said that the assembly line process for making carriages has been improved. If the factory has given another three days, the remaining one hundred carriages can be manufactured.

Therefore, it will be opened in three days!”

Zhu Biao replied quickly.

"Um?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.

He looked at Zhu Biao with disbelief and asked, "Biao'er, what you just said, the Zi'an factory can build a hundred carriages within three days?"

"By the father, this matter was said by my second brother. I wonder what's wrong?"

Zhu Biao was stunned.

"Biaoer, do you know how long it takes to build a carriage in those carriage workshops outside?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked helplessly.

"I don't know!" Zhu Biao replied.

"At least five days!"

Seeing Zhu Biao look so relaxed, Zhu Yuanzhang said anxiously.

"Father, five days?"

Zhu Biao's face was shocked.

This was said by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he dared not have any doubts.

"This is still some big workshops. If some small workshops can create a carriage in seven days, it would be a big profit!"

"The main reason why carriages are so expensive is that they are difficult to make."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel some excitement in his eyes.

"And Zi'an could actually build a hundred carriages within three days. If the shopkeepers of those carriage workshops knew about it, they would definitely get jealous!"

"With me here, let's see who dares to be jealous!"

Zhu Biao said hurriedly.

"Okay, with us here, even if someone is jealous, he has to stay with us."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled softly and continued, "So, in three days, we will leave the palace and see what the carriage and horses that Zi'an drives look like!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Biao hurriedly bowed to thank him, then thought of Zhu Zi'an's words, and continued to say to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, you need many coachmen and horses to drive.

However, my second brother only has a coachman and no horses. I don’t know about this. Can my father help me?”

"A slow horse pulling a cart?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"That's right!" Zhu Biao replied quickly.

"This matter is simple, just find Tang He!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand indifferently and said.

Just a hundred horses.

For him now, it's very simple.

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Biao hurriedly thanked!

Then, he quickly left!
