Chapter 105 Datang Transportation and Transshipment Division

Two days have passed since the crazy courtesan competition, but the warmth of the competition remains. The streets and alleys of Chang'an City are singing three songs copied by Wang Ye.

The two brothers and sisters Cui Yiye and Cui Yinger, who were walking on the road, were walking towards the urging mansion with expressionless expressions. The reason was that the matter between Cui Yiye and Cui Yinger had just caused a dispute, which caused them to cancel their original inspection of the industry. The two brothers and sisters were in a very poor mood at this time.

The matter starts half an hour ago.

In the past few days, because Wang Ye and his second daughter's marriage are getting closer and closer, Cui Ying'er's condition is getting worse and worse. Previously, because of Cui Yiye, she misunderstood that Wang Ye has something to love for him, but who would have thought that reality is slapped in the face so quickly.

Just a few days later, the news that Li Yuan gave a marriage to the king was well-known to everyone in the streets and alleys. In addition, Wang Ye became famous in the New Year's Eve poetry meeting, and the headlines circulating among the people basically could not avoid him.

Cui Ying'er didn't care much at first, after all, she was just a match. Now the king not only married Yu Lingyan, the most talented woman in the capital, but also received the honor of Li Yuan's honour and married Princess Jiujiang, and became the current princess, which was a big rise.

But her not caring does not mean that others don’t care. These two people are her second uncle and eldest brother, so that would be even more helpless.

Cui Shang, the Minister of Revenue, was the second-generation ruler of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and the prince Li Jiancheng was the only one who was the highest official, so he could naturally receive relevant news from Wang Ye as soon as possible. Moreover, when he heard the Yuge Spring Festival Gala, he was also lucky to go with Li Yuan to watch the ceremony. On that day, Li Yuan's favor for Wang Ye made him very jealous.

So, Cui Shang, who returned to Chang'an, immediately called his eldest nephew Cui Yiye. The uncle and nephew plotted in the study for a long time and came to a conclusion: find a way to marry Cui Ying'er to Wang Ye.

This bold idea shocked Cui Ying'er herself. After all, as the legitimate daughter of Cui's family in Qinghe, even if she wants to get married, she must consider the other party's status and family background.

But Cui Shang's words made her speechless: "In terms of status, he sat on the same seat with the saint, and in terms of identity, he was the prince consort of the Tang Dynasty, and in terms of background, this is the most terrifying thing. He himself is his own background, and you have not seen the attitude of the saint towards him, alas!"

In fact, Cui Ying'er knew that Wang Ye's status rose, and a large part of it was related to his ability to make money. Dugu Huaien, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, got a profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan just because he gave him a gift.

Moreover, Cui Ying'er knows the most how popular the soap and perfume business she is in is. According to her calculations, Wang Ye's annual income is enough to be the same as that of a second-rate family.

Later, Wang Ye's glass mirror workshop, cement factory, farm, arena, and transportation department were even more confused by the seven major families. Even Cui Xian, the father of Cui Yinger, rushed to 800 miles and asked Cui Shang to act as the share of the three farms, which shows how it is.

However, just now, when the brother and sister checked the accounts in the restaurant, the conversation between customers became the fuse that ignited the two brothers and sisters.

"Brother Liu, have you heard of it? Wang Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, has been running to the Wang City Lord's house every day these two days. I heard the accounting form in Cuiyuxuan that it seems that the Wang family intends to marry Miss Wang City Lord."

"Oh, who said it was not? I only found out a few days ago that Du Sanniang from Wanhua Tower is now the concubine of the King of City Lord. Now there is another Miss Wang. It seems that the Lord of City Lord doesn't want us to live."

"Tsk, it seems that without the Lord of the City, you will have the chance to get their admiration."

"Haha, isn't this a sigh? I feel that all the beauties in the world have been taken away by the city lord. How can I not feel heartbroken?"

“…”

The speaker was unintentional. The listener was intentional. Cui Yiye and Cui Yinger, who were looking at the account book seriously, both of them trembled all over. The brother and sister looked at each other and did not say anything on the spot.

After leaving the restaurant, Cui Yiye said indignantly: "It's outrageous. Wang Yanran, don't you know that our two families are already discussing engagement? He actually did such an indecent thing."

Seeing Cui Ying'er not saying a word, she complained to her again: "Sister, if you listened to me and my second uncle, you would have been able to listen to Yuge. Now there would be no Wang Yanran or Du Sanniang. Why are you so careless?"

He did not explode in silence, but died in silence. He had heard that Wang Yanran, who had been competing with him, took the initiative to contact Wang Ye, but he was unhappy, but his face was not erupting. At this time, he saw that his brother actually led the fire to him, and suddenly felt extremely wronged, and immediately said, "Every family knows about you and Wang Yanran. Now they are embarrassing you. If you don't deal with her, I am not, are you still a man?"

Cui Yiye blushed when she saw that her little thoughts were exposed by Cui Ying'er. Both the brother and sister were gentle and elegant. If Cui Yiye had not involved him, Cui Ying'er would not have refuted verbally, but after saying anything, how could she take back the water splashed out?

In this way, the two of them walked towards the urging mansion with their own worries, and they didn't want to check the remaining industries.

This is how life is, some people are happy and some are sad.

···

Tingyu Pavilion.

Wang Yanran looked at the modified four-wheeled carriage and asked at the king with curiosity: "Young Master, does this carriage look like nothing has changed?"

Wang Ye was chatting with a foreman at this time. Hearing this, he was about to explain, but the foreman saw Wang Yanran and said with a smile: "Miss Wang, it's been a long time since I saw him!"

Wang Yanran turned her head and looked at her. The foreman turned his back to her and didn't pay attention. When he saw the face, he said excitedly: "Young Master Yan, it turns out that it's you, why are you here too?"

Seeing that Wang Yanran recognized him, the foreman explained with a smile: "I am currently working in the Ministry of Works. I have been learning new crafts with the city lord recently. I was surprised when I saw you."

Wang Ye smiled and said, "Lide, Miss Yanran, since you know each other, that's great. Let's try this new car together?"

The two smiled and nodded repeatedly. After all, one was a business partner who was about to act as a transportation business, and the other was a foreman who had personally transformed the carriage. They both wanted to see what the difference was the new carriage transformed according to Wang Ye's drawings.

Seeing this, Wang Ye first asked Wang Yanran's maid to help her into the carriage and put down the small table in the carriage before he took the foreman Yan Lide up.

Wang Yanran felt the soft cushion and said with a smile: "This cushion is strange, very elastic, not as hard as cotton."

Wang Ye smiled when he heard this and pushed open the windows on both sides of the vehicle. Seeing this, Wang Yanran hurriedly shouted: "Please forgive me, Mr. Wang, this outdoor is so dusty, it's better to close the windows."

Yan Lide smiled and said, "Miss Wang, don't worry, what do you think this is?" After that, he reached out and knocked on the window, but the sound of heavy objects hitting the window was heard.

When Wang Yanran heard the sound, she reached out to touch it curiously, but she really touched a layer of cold cover and asked curiously: "What is this? Is glazed? But how could it be so transparent!"

Wang Ye smiled and explained: "This thing is called glass, which is the product we will produce in the future. If your Wang family is interested, you can go to Ma Zhou to communicate."

Wang Yanran was happy when she heard this, then knocked on the glass again, saying, "This is glass? Isn't the workshop you worked with the saint a glass workshop? It has started production?"

"Haha, it hasn't started yet. This is the inventory I brought back from the Western Regions."

After about a while, Wang also looked out the window and saw that he had arrived at the arena. He continued, "Come on, get off the bus, we're here."

Wang Yanran was shocked when she heard this: "Have you arrived?" She didn't feel any bumps along the way, and there was no sound of the axles rubbing as the carriage advanced.

The foreman and Wang Ye looked at each other and said with a smile: "If Miss Wang doesn't believe it, why don't you get out of the car and take a look?" After that, he opened the car door and walked outside.

Outside the carriage, the three of them looked at the magnificent building in front of them and sighed again. Wang also pointed to a place like a bus stop and said, "Miss Yanran, look, this is a bus stop. There are twenty such platforms in total, and there are ten on both sides of the road. The starting point is Tingyu Pavilion and the ending point is Chang'an Cuiyuxuan. What do you think?"

When Wang Yanran saw that Wang also started talking about business, she replied seriously: "The shock absorber and bearing are indeed magical. But I can only ride four people at a time when I see the carriage. If I only charge ten cents to and from Chang'an, my Wang family will probably not be able to afford it."

Wang also smiled and explained: "The ten-month carriage is not so luxurious. We have a 20-seater carriage dedicated to the people, and we collect ten-month carriages at one stop. There are ten stops from Tingyu Pavilion to Chang'an, which is 100 cents. One round trip costs 20 cents. There are twenty passengers in a car, at least four trips a day, which is 16 cents. Your Wang family only needs to change the horses and grooms."

Wang Yanran calculated secretly after hearing this, and after a while, she looked up and asked, "I wonder how many carriages can Mr. Wang sell me to my Wang family that have been modified with shock absorbers and bearings?"

"Twenty-seaters can produce more than 100 luxury carriages per month. Because of the cumbersome workmanship, there are only ten cars per month, and they have made an appointment in the first two months."

Wang Yanran nodded and said, "In addition to the route between Tingyu Pavilion and Chang'an, I also want routes to various markets in Chang'an City. Please offer a price for Mr. Wang."
