Chapter 332 Strange carriage(1/2)

The warehouse in Workshop City covers a large area.

Sand, gravel, cement, utensils and other things are stored here in categories.

Although the warehouse has been paved with concrete floors, with so many goods coming in and out every day, dust will still rise up after the carriages pass by.

If you measure pm2.5, it will definitely be a record-breaking pace.

However, at this moment, no one cares about this.

"Niuzhu, did you see that carriage?"

Lao Han's eyes widened when he saw the seven or eight carriages that had just turned into the warehouse from the official road.

Naturally, the carriages driven by each driver are different.

There are old and new ones, styles, and production workshops.

However, before that, the carriages coming in and out of the entire warehouse were essentially the same, with only two wheels.

However, a group of four-wheeled carriages actually came today!

Weird!

"Lao Hansan, am I not dazzled? These coachmen are actually driving four-wheeled carriages? How did they easily turn into the warehouse from the official road?"

Niu Zhu and Lao Hansan are both veteran coachmen for many years, and they know the situation of carriages in Chang'an City very well.

To put it bluntly, if anyone asked them to change to a four-wheeled carriage, they would definitely get a sneer.

A four-wheeled carriage?

Just put a frame on the four wheels, and it's okay to travel on straight and flat roads, but on slightly bumpy roads...

That will definitely make you want to die.

Hit another corner...

Niu Zhu couldn't understand how someone could be so stupid as to use a four-wheeled carriage?

Is your brain flooded?

"This carriage seems weird. Look how easily they turned into the warehouse where the cement is stored."

Lao Hansan was not in a hurry to leave the warehouse. He simply parked the carriage aside, got out of the car and walked towards the four-wheeled carriage.

Vaguely, he felt that a new opportunity seemed to be approaching him.

[Ling Ling Reading 00kxs] When Niu Zhu saw Lao Hansan passing by, he also got off the carriage.

"This four-wheeled carriage is twice as long as ours, so it must carry more goods."

As Lao Hansan walked towards the cement warehouse, he exchanged his views with Niu Zhu.

"It is possible to load more cargo, but you know, if you load too much, the axle will not be able to bear it, and it will break down soon. The gain outweighs the loss."

Niu Zhu immediately raised his objection.

In fact, even if it is a two-wheeled carriage, it is not that it cannot be decorated with more decorations. The key is that if it is overloaded too much, the carriage will soon break down.

Therefore, experienced drivers will not overload easily.

Anyway, there are no expressway tolls in Datang, so the horse is exhausted and the loss is your own, so why bother pretending so much?

Making more trips will also cost the employer money.

Especially recently, they have taken on the business of gravel workshops, and wages are settled by the truck.

Of course, in a few cases, when it comes to contracting the transportation of goods, you can only decorate it a little more, and don't dare to go too far.

"These people seem to be from the Chu Palace. They look a bit unfamiliar. Many of them are novices. Could it be that these coachmen don't understand the situation, so they load so much goods?"

Lao Hansan quickly guessed the origin of these carriages.

There is more than one cement workshop in Chang'an City, but the most commonly used cement in the workshop city is the cement produced by the Chu Palace's own cement workshop.

Coupled with the arrogance on the faces of these grooms, one can guess at a glance that they are from the Prince of Chu's Palace.

Looking at the city of Chang'an, there are several craftsmen walking on the road. Lao Hansan can often easily identify which one belongs to the workshop affiliated to the Prince of Chu's Palace and which one belongs to other noble families.

The confidence and temperament exuded by the craftsmen of Prince Chu's Mansion are different from those of craftsmen in other workshops.

This difference is felt most clearly by the people of Chang'an City.

It is often difficult for people from out of town to tell them apart.

It's like in later generations, when two Chinese people and Japanese people are walking on the road, Chinese people can often distinguish them easily, but foreigners think they are all the same.

"It shouldn't be. The level of craftsmen in Prince Chu's Mansion is much higher than others, so they won't make such low-level mistakes."

Niu Zhu stared at the approaching carriages with a suspicious look on his face.

"Niuzhu, these carriages came from the official road, but when we just turned into the warehouse, we clearly didn't notice the shadow of these carriages behind us. But in less than a cup of tea, these carriages followed us in.

out of the warehouse, which means..."

"It means these carriages run very fast!"

Niu Zhu and Lao Hansan looked at each other, their curiosity getting stronger.

Vehicle speed and loading capacity are the two things that drivers care about most.

To understand it from another perspective, these are the two indicators most closely related to the driver's income.

"Don't get so close, they are unloading the goods."

Soon, Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu arrived in front of the four-wheeled carriage.

The driver is helping to unload the cement from the carriage into the warehouse.

"Brother, may I ask that you work in the workshop of His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

Although the driver in front of him spoke a little irritably, Lao Hansan didn't take it seriously.

When I am busy, I also hate someone disturbing me.

"That's right, we are from the Chuwangfu Cement Workshop Transportation Team, and we will start transporting cement to Workshop City today."

Although his attitude was not very good just now, when he saw Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu helping him unload the cement without any objection, the driver's expression immediately softened and he answered Lao Hansan's question well.

Lao Hansan: "If I remember correctly, the cement workshop of Prince Chu's Mansion is not next to the official road. You drove this four-wheeled carriage all the way?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

After hearing the answer from the young coachman in front of him, Lao Han Sanyi didn't know what to say.

Why is there no problem?

What a big problem!

"Ahem!"

Niu Zhu saw Lao Hansan standing there stunned, so he took over the conversation.

"This gentleman, I haven't seen you driving here before."

"It's normal if you haven't seen it. I was assigned to the transportation team some time ago. After practicing driving a carriage for a while, I made my first delivery to the warehouse today."

Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu looked at each other: they are indeed newcomers.

"Then how did you steer this carriage?"

Niu Zhu then asked the question he was most concerned about.

"It's nothing, just hold the reins normally and guide the horse in the direction you want."

The driver was not sure why Niu Zhu asked this question.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Lao Hansan simply walked around the carriage a few times, then leaned under the carriage and took a look.

"Niuzhu, look at this carriage. The frame is not fixed on the four wheels at the same time. Could this be the reason why it can turn normally?"

Although Lao Hansan didn't understand the steering principle of the carriage, the four-wheeled carriage in front of him looked like two two-wheeled carriages connected by something.

"Whether it is or not, if this four-wheeled carriage can really turn easily, then..."

Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu looked at each other, with a "you know" look on their faces.

Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, only those who are in this industry can feel the relevant changes the fastest. Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu are both old people who have been in the coachman industry for many years.

If the four-wheel carriage in front of us can really turn normally and carry more goods, then the impact on the current coachmen, especially those like Lao Hansan and Niuzhu who own their own horses and carriages and are responsible for their own profits and losses, will definitely be huge.

This is like two people rushing to race. Originally they were both on two legs, but suddenly someone came from behind on a horse. How can this compare?

The same carriage can be loaded with more.

If the price is based on the car, then everyone will hire a driver to drive a four-wheeled carriage, and the business of people like themselves will inevitably become deserted.

Not to mention if the price is based on weight; for the same trip, others will earn twice as much as themselves, or even more.

This meant that wagon drivers could cut prices to steal their own business.

No matter which one it is, it is unacceptable to me.

"You just said that you are from the transportation team of Prince Chu's Cement Workshop, so this carriage was also issued to you by the Cement Workshop?"
