Qian Biao came to Chang'an with extremely excited mood.

Although he had just joined Yixingshe with the recommendation of his daughter-in-law, because he was the governor of Hunan, he still led a delegation to Chang'an to attend the conference this time at the Chang'an Yixingshe Congress as a member of the Hunan delegation.

Qian Biao knew it well. Although he was also a governor of the same place, he always had some inconsistent names compared to the governors in other places. Because the scope he could control now was only a dozen counties around Dongting Lake. Most of Hunan was still controlled by the former Hunan Observer Ding Taiyi.

However, Ding Taiyi can be regarded as a grasshopper after autumn, and it will be a few days since he jumped. Qian Biao was extremely eager for Li Ze to give him an order. Shi Zhuang immediately led his army to defeat Ding Taiyi and completely recover Hunan. In this way, his name and reality matched his name.

Since Qian Feng was killed by Zhu Youzhen, the remaining three melons and two dates have been struggling, but the emperor pays off. They finally survived the sea of ​​suffering. Now it seems that good days are coming.

Qian Biao was mentally prepared after losing his military power.

This is not Li Ze's different eyes on him. This is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty today. Military power and local governance were completely separated. After decades of Jiedushi's separatist rule, the central government learned from his mistakes and began to focus on large-scale centralization, divide civil and military governance, and checked and balanced each other.

Now, the Tang Dynasty under Li Ze's control is a document for local officials or generals, so it can be easily transferred and removed from office. The authority of the central government has been strengthened unprecedentedly.

This is the general trend of history.

That's what Qian Biao thinks.

If you divide it for a long time, you will be together.

The Tang Dynasty, which has experienced too much pain and torture, is now reborn in the ashes. The clowns in the south cannot last long. This time, when they arrived in Luoyang and after attending the conference, they would lead a delegation to the north to see how others govern the place and how the local people live.

It has always been said that the prosperity of the north is especially rich in Wuyi, which is now even richer in the world. It has led the members of the Hunan delegation to open their eyes and strengthened their determination.

Qian Biao was a very knowledgeable person. After being appointed by the governor, he immediately asked the court to send him a deputy who was familiar with the central policy to Yueyang to assist him in order to better allow effective measures to be transplanted to Yueyang area faster.

His request was quickly met. The Ministry of Personnel was very happy to send him the experienced former Shiyi County Magistrate Dong Cheng to serve as his deputy. Shiyi, Wuyi, and Nangong, these three counties formed the entire Wuyi Prefecture. Wuyi Prefecture was directly under the jurisdiction of the central court and its status was equivalent to that of a local governor. In some aspects, the position of Wuyi Prefecture is half a square higher than that of his ordinary governor.

Sending Shiyi County leader Dong Cheng to Hunan is considered a high-end model, which is equivalent to indirectly raising Qian Biao's position.

Qian Biao and his group were stopped outside a bustling courtyard. A young official wearing the costume of a seventh-rank official bowed and bowed to Qian Biao.

"I dare to ask if it's Governor Qian from Hunan?"

"That's right." Qian Biao did not dare to neglect, so he turned over and dismounted, and gave a gift with his hands: "Don't you?"

"In Xiajianghe, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites' Concierge Division, and is also a member of the concierge group of this conference. He is ordered to receive Hunan representatives, Governor Qian, and all the things you and Hunan representatives in Chang'an will be taken care of in the future. If you have any, please give me your order!"

"It's a good thing that Dr. Jiang is here." Qian Biao nodded and said, "Chang'an, I've been here once when I was young. I'm really not familiar with the place. Will we go directly to the city next?"

"This is the station entering Chang'an, and we need to transfer to the carriage here." Jiang He smiled and said, "The Concierge Office has prepared special carriages for you. In the next days, these two carriages will also be used by the Hunan delegation."

“Transfer?”

Jiang He nodded: "Governor Qian, in order to keep the city order and avoid congestion, except for public carriages, service-type carriages, and military-related chariots and horses, we are not allowed to enter the city. We will arrange for people to take good care of the riding of the Hunan delegation, and will return the original items until the meeting is over."

"Is this the same thing on Wuyi?" Qian Biao asked with interest.

"Of course, this was originally borrowing from Wuyi's traffic management strategy." Jiang He smiled and pointed to the two carriages parked behind him, and the road was.

There was a metal plate nailed on the foyer of the two carriages, one with rituals 0125 and the other with rituals 0126. Obviously, this is the number of these two carriages.

The carriage is very long, but only one horse pulls the carriage. Qian Biao looked back at his group of more than twenty people. Can the horse be pulled?

As if he understood the questions in Qian Biao's eyes, Jiang He smiled and said, "Governor Qian, don't underestimate this carriage. This is the centralized application of our Tang Dynasty's latest technology. Although there is only one horse, it can easily drag thousands of kilograms of things. I will introduce it to you after getting on the car later."

"Okay, get in the car!" Qian Biao smiled and waved at everyone, and took the lead in boarding the vehicle numbered Li Zero One and Two Five.

The interior decoration of the car is not luxurious, but every design is the most suitable for the body. The soft chair cushion, the slightly tilted backrest, and the soft-packed armrests on both sides. There is also an exquisitely designed pedal under the chair, which can be pulled forward so that people can lie down on their backs for a short rest.

The windows were open on the wall of the car, all of which were made of glass. Sitting inside the car, the situation outside was clear. A carriage like this, after twelve people, didn't even feel how crowded it was.

Accompanied by the driver's crisp whip, the carriage shook slightly and slowly slid forward.

The people in the car all showed a little surprise on their faces.

The vehicle had almost no sound or felt any bumps, and it just moved forward smoothly.

"Governor Qian, dear delegates!" Jiang He, who moved a small stool and sat at the door, introduced with a smile: "This carriage looks ordinary, but in fact it uses many of the latest designs of our Tang Dynasty. You should have noticed just now that the wheels we use are no longer wood-wrapped iron sheets, but rubber tires. This kind of tire is made of rubber and is divided into outer tires and inner tubes. The inner tube is used after inflating."

"Rubber? Is the material used to build a bridge when Liang Han crossed the Yanzi River at night?" Qian Biao knew more inside information and asked now.

"Not bad." Jiang He nodded and said, "This thing is hard-won. Now it only has raw materials overseas. I heard it is a kind of juice flowing out of something called the Tears Tree. It has been processed and produced. It is still very expensive now, so it has not been spread out on a large scale. Most people would rather bump into it, and they are not willing to spend a high price to exchange for this kind of tire."

"Can't we expand planting and increase production?"

"I heard it's difficult!" Jiang He smiled and said, "But now many businessmen have targeted this business opportunity and have gone to Southeast Asia with a lot of money. Maybe it won't take long, and ordinary people can use it."

"New things, high profits." Qian Biao nodded.

"But the risk is also great!" Jiang He added with a smile: "In addition to this rubber tire, the carriage also uses a shock absorption system. Well, how to say it, it is to make the fine iron into circles and superimpose it together. This carriage uses six such shock absorbers, and we are actually sitting on these six shock absorbers! Such fine iron circles can only be produced by two steel workshops even in our Tang Dynasty. However, thanks to the annual output of our Tang Dynasty's steel soaring year by year, its price has fallen. Now the carriage produced by the Tang Dynasty will not be sold without the shock absorber installed. In addition, the latest transmission system is installed on the carriage. Hehe, I don't understand. Anyway, the chains are carried by gears of large and small, and when they move, it saves the most effort."

"Even this glass is not cheap!" A representative said with emotion as he stroked a piece of glass about one meter in radius.

Jiang He knew that this was because Yueyang had been experiencing wars and the business path was not smooth. East and west such as Liuli, which were produced in the north, had not been fully popular there, so he thought it was very expensive.

"This thing is not expensive," he explained with a smile: "Now, the Glazing House in Dezhou can produce whole pieces of glass of ten square meters. The larger the area, the higher the difficulty. Like this, it is cheaper. In Wuyi, every household has this window, which is both wind-separating and light-transmitting, and is very popular with the people. There is no need to make a broken window paper with a poke."

The representative was shocked. He had a new understanding of Wuyi's wealth.

"Is the station just now specially used to welcome the representative to Chang'an this time?" Qian Biao asked.

"No, no, no, there is no public bus stop." Jiang He smiled and said, "No matter who enters the city, if you want to take a public bus, you can do it with a copper coin. The public bus in Chang'an has just started, and now there is only one roundabout. In the future, there will be more and more routes and more convenient."

"Why don't you use a copper trophy to travel around Chang'an?" a representative asked with a smile.

"It's OK in theory." Jiang He laughed: "But that kind of public carriage is not as comfortable as we can sit in. The people sitting inside are all kinds of people. There are twelve people sitting here, and there are more than thirty people in it. It's really hard to turn around. If you can tolerate the crowding and smell in it, it's okay to sit around in a circle."
