"I remember that you had to retreat due to a leg injury. I didn't expect that the leader would arrange for you to come here."
Wang Pingping looked at Xu Yue with seriousness and relief in her eyes, "For an excellent soldier like Lao Wu to be dragged here to be a little coachman, you are really getting a big advantage."
"It's really good." Wang Pingping looked at Lao Wu, whose right leg and ankle were obviously a little bent, with admiration in her eyes.
Facing the general's admiring gaze, Lao Wu straightened his back subconsciously, as if he was still the young boy he was before, waiting attentively for the general to issue an order.
Xu Yue's family of four got on the bus, and Gongsun Hao and An Mi also got on with a smile.
The remaining people were surprised, and some boldly ran forward, blushing and asking if they could come up and sit too.
Xu Yue smiled and nodded, looking at the people who were watching, "There are so many empty seats. If you want to try it, you can come up and try your new carriage!"
As soon as these words were said, there was a lot of noise, and people were rushing to get on the bus.
After a while, the five large carriages were filled with people. Some people were squatting and some were standing, huddled together and unwilling to miss this opportunity to get out of the car.
In the end, the accompanying Xu Jiajun stepped forward to maintain order, and then pulled down some civilians who were hanging on the outside of the carriage trying to use them as pendants.
"Lao Wu, let's go, let's go to the next stop." Wang Pingping said solemnly.
Lao Wu seemed to have received the general's order and responded loudly: "Yes!"
Raising the whip and shouting, the horse was ordered to step forward with four hooves, from slow to fast, steadily drive out of the starting station and run onto the wide and flat cement road.
Xu Yue could clearly feel that the car had been damped, and the bus and carriage were more stable than the usual horse-drawn carriages. In addition, the road was smooth, and there were almost no bumps.
Moreover, although it looks fragile, the car body made of wooden boards and bamboo is stronger than expected.
Lao Wu drove the carriage very fast, and the carriage board and carriage swayed with the carriage, but they could not shake down.
"Who came up with this?" Xu Yue looked at An Mi and said with satisfaction:
"Bamboo is flexible and easier to use than the iron pipes I thought before. The cost has also been reduced. If it breaks down, it can be replaced directly."
An Mi has been in charge of the bus and carriage project for three months and is very familiar with all the details. Hearing this, he looked at Xu Da who was looking at the scenery outside the car.
"It was Sun Ashan from the Huokang Gang who came up with it. The bamboo materials for the carports in the city will be replaced by the Huokang Gang disciples in the future. You only need to pay some labor." An Mi explained.
When Xu Da heard his disciple being named, his eyebrows immediately flew up, quite a bit embarrassed.
Xu Yue remembered the foot-operated fan that her father brought home two months ago, saying it was specially made to relieve the twins from the heat.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, this hair fan has been put away.
She didn't think much about it at the time and forgot to ask her father which craftsman made it.
There is no electric fan, but the foot fan is quite good, but it is a bit useless.
It would be even better if it could be changed to hydrodynamic and used for heat dissipation in iron smelting plants.
Now after hearing An Mi's words and seeing her father's secretly happy expression, Xu Yue immediately guessed who the author of the foot fan was.
"Dad, is Ah Shan still in the city?" Xu Yue recalled carefully. She seemed to have not heard any news about the Huokang Gang for more than a week.
Xu Da glanced at the people around him. An Mi, Gongsun Hao and others turned their attention to the scenery outside the car.
Xu Da then came closer and whispered in Xu Yue's ear: "I asked him to go back to Xujiazhuang for secret training."
Being in Yuyang, Xu Yue felt happy. Isn't this just right?
When the time comes, use the intercom to tell Ada from Xujiazhuang in Yuyang to bring Sun Ashan to Wang Dayou and other masters.
If she didn't improve the working environment in the iron smelting plant, she was really afraid that masters like Wang Dayou would quit.
"Why ask him? If you want to praise him for coming up with this car roof, then you should tell his master the same thing."
Xu Da folded his arms and leaned back, as if I am ready and you can start praising me.
Xu Yue: "..."
Wang Pingping and Xu Erniang looked at each other, speechless. How could there be such a shameless person as Xu Da in this world?
After waiting for a long time and not receiving his daughter's praise, Xu Da urged: "You can start now, just say it."
I said you are a big dick!
Xu Yue turned away her eyes and continued to observe the deconstruction of the bus, asking An Mi and Lao Wu about their riding and driving experiences from time to time.
The fact that these carriages can be put into operation has undergone many experiments.
The carriage in front of people now is the best option obtained after many experiments. Even if it has some minor shortcomings, it cannot be better than this.
The common people riding in the car thought it was good, and the brave ones even dared to say: "Such a good car, I'm afraid the emperor's car is not as good as us!"
An Mi opened her mouth subconsciously, wanting to scold the people not to speak ill of the emperor, but soon realized that she was surrounded by the Xu family, and touched her nose awkwardly.
Not only did he not dare to scold him, he also nodded and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, such a good carriage, the emperor's can't compare to it."
After saying this, An Mian then thought about it, yes! He is now on a carriage that even the emperor cannot get on!
Suddenly, I felt a little more secretly happy and felt proud.
To be honest, after following Xu Yue for so long, the number of times he nodded and bowed became less and less.
Sometimes, a gentle boss makes him forget to even salute.
Thinking about it this way, working with Xu Jiajun during this period of time is actually more comfortable than before.
It would be even better if these Xu Jiajun didn't always look at him with strange eyes and always say, "Just a county captain, that's all?"
Looking at the five large carriages in front of her that she had personally participated in, An Mi felt that she finally had the confidence to refute those Xu Jiajun.
That’s it!
If you have the ability, would you like to take out the bus and carriage and take a look?
Buses and carriages are officially opened. The starting price is two chips per person and the upper limit is ten chips. The price is fair and no one is bullied.
When it first opened, ordinary people would spend a few bucks to go up and have a seat in order to join in the fun and see the strange things.
When the heat subsided, buses and carriages gradually got back on track, and all trains running out every day were full.
There are also more and more buses and carriages driving into the county from various villages and towns.
Finally, the number of public buses and carriages is basically fixed. There are five buses in the city every day, and there are two buses in each village and town every day in the morning and afternoon.
Even if there are not enough seats, the driver must start the train on time and keep it running.
The time has entered November, the cold wind is blowing, snowflakes are falling in large numbers, and in just half a day, a layer of shallow water has accumulated on the ground.
Due to bad weather, the bus station has also reduced the number of departures and maintains three basic departures in the morning, afternoon and evening to facilitate people's travel.
