"This steam car is much smoother than a horse-drawn carriage!"

“Sitting in the carriage, I didn’t feel any shaking at all!”

"And the hot air from the front just warms the car, so I don't feel the chill at all."

Yu Ji and others looked around curiously, with expressions of wonder on their faces.

"Hold the two little guys steady, husband, I'm going to speed up."

Ying Yu smiled slightly.

Although the design of the entire steam car is a bit bulky for the sake of stability, there is also an advantage, that is, the center of gravity is stable enough, and with pneumatic tires, spring suspension and leather sofa seats, the comfort level is still quite high.

The carriage is also large enough to accommodate a family easily.

With Wang Ying, Xiao Mei, Da Ya and Yu Ji, plus the two little guys in their arms, it didn't seem crowded at all.

Moreover, another advantage of the steam engine was perfectly demonstrated in late autumn.

That is, the hot air drawn from the engine circulates around the cabin and can be used as a heater to maintain a comfortable temperature in the cabin.

He has decided to drive the steam car directly to the palace.

From the Engineering Academy to the Imperial Palace, there are dozens of miles of land, which is perfect for testing the stability of steam vehicles.

Moreover, along the way, you have to pass through the most prosperous areas such as Xianyang New Town, which can also have a good publicity effect.

Thinking of this, Ying Yu opened the throttle valve to the maximum.

With the steam engine running at full speed, the huge steam car was directly accelerated to a speed of one hundred and forty miles an hour, which is thirty-five kilometers per hour, and headed directly in the direction of Xianyang Palace.

The roaring steam car soon became the new focus of Xianyang City.

"What kind of monster is this? Why is it still emitting black smoke and moving so fast?"

"This thing is a bit similar to the steam engine I saw at the Royal Academy last time."

"Look, the person sitting at the front seems to be His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Could this big black lump be the steam car that the newspaper mentioned some time ago?"

"This speed is much faster than a carriage!"

"And the carriage is much larger. It feels like it can seat more than a dozen people!"

"If it were replaced by cargo, wouldn't it be possible to haul a few thousand kilograms at will?"

“It’s so amazing!”

"There are two big headlights in front, so wouldn't it be possible to drive on the road at night?"

"Mom, I want to ride a steam car like this too!"

It was New Year's Eve, and many people went to the streets to buy new year's goods. There were already many people, so the people in Xianyang City quickly received the news and came from all directions to see the new gadgets.

Today's people in Da Qin are much more receptive to new things than before. In addition, the person sitting in the car is the most beloved Crown Prince. Therefore, although the people are surprised, they are not frightened. On the contrary, they are a

Come to a conclusion.

Many wealthy families are looking forward to it, wishing they could own such a car right away.

It's so majestic, so domineering, and so shocking.

The roaring sound of the engine, with its majestic impact, really makes everyone yearn for it and long for it.

More and more people came to watch, so Ying Yu had to slow down to ten kilometers per hour to maintain safety and at the same time let the people of Qin watch more carefully.

Suddenly, the people became even more excited.

Ying Zheng, who was in the palace, was quickly alarmed.

...

In the imperial study room, Ying Zheng and the important officials in the court were busy reviewing the memorial.

In order to have a good rest during the New Year holiday, they must complete all government affairs within today.

As Da Qin develops rapidly, its affairs are also increasing, and everyone's workload has increased a lot.

If Ying Yu hadn't introduced a three-province and six-ministry system with a clearer division of labor and faster processes, Ying Zheng and his courtiers would have been too busy working overtime day and night.

Ying Yu invented new accounting and summary methods, and taught many young people who graduated from Daqin University, which greatly improved the efficiency of various departments in the court.

While the courtiers were amazed, they were also trying to learn these new things.

At this moment, Zhang Han suddenly walked in quickly.

"What's up?"

Ying Zheng put down the imperial pen in his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is currently on Xianyang Street."

Zhang Han said with a strange look on his face.

"This kid is good at everything, he's just a little tired."

"What is he doing in the street?"

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhang Han speechlessly and said.

It's good not to learn from it, but Ying Yu's habit of selling things off has definitely been learned.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is driving a strange, smoking car with all the ladies and two little princesses, and is now heading towards the palace. Most of the people in Xianyang City have been alarmed."

Zhang Han saw the displeasure on Ying Zheng's face and quickly spoke faster.

"What, a smoking car?"

"Quickly, prepare the frame. I want to see what happens in person."

Ying Zheng was surprised for a moment, then he remembered the steam engine he had seen not long ago and the prospects that Ying Yu had described before, and stood up excitedly.

As an emperor, Ying Zheng was naturally very aware of the importance of transportation to the Qin Dynasty.

Today's Great Qin's territory is far ten times larger than before, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Starting from Xianyang City to the farthest point of Great Qin, even the best carriages would have to travel for several months.

This is definitely a troublesome matter for the transmission of government orders and the control of Xianyang City.

Although the Grand Canal is good, it has very high requirements on hydrological conditions and is subject to regional restrictions. It cannot be built in all places.

If you want to truly accelerate, you need a vehicle that is faster and has a greater carrying capacity than a horse-drawn carriage.

The steam engine is undoubtedly an excellent solution.

Ever since he saw the power of steam engines last time, Ying Zheng had been looking forward to the leap in transportation in Daqin.

Unexpectedly, the results were achieved so quickly.

Even with the determination of the First Emperor, this moment was a surprise.

The courtiers were even more confused.

"What's going on, His Royal Highness, driving a weird car on the street?"

"Then His Majesty also abandoned the memorial and went out of the palace to watch the fun?"

"What should I do if I wait?"

"How about we go and have a look too?"

"No big deal, I'll come back later and work overtime to take care of it!"

Meng Yi and others looked at each other, and after discussing for a while, they quickly made up their minds.

In Da Qin, anything related to Ying Yu must be extraordinary.

And what the First Emperor can do now must be a good thing that will be of great use to the country and the people.

Under such circumstances, they naturally couldn't sit still.
