At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

At ten in the morning, Xia Yun, who was driving the empress for a ride, had been driving around outside the capital for more than two hours.

It was not until the sound of night watchmen was heard in the capital that Xia Yun brought the empress back to the palace.

After all, the empress is the emperor of Daliang. Her safety is of utmost importance and no accidents are allowed.

As for the empress herself, she didn't care about it.

Even when Xia Yun handed the car keys to her, there was still a hint of aftertaste on the empress's face.

Going for a drive...it's really exciting!

Looking at the entire Daliang court, only Xia Yun had the courage to lead her to do such a rebellious thing.

"I have assigned a special driver to this car, but you must remember that you are not allowed to drive without my approval."

Xia Yun warned carefully.

Driving is no small matter.

In the era before he traveled through time, anyone who wanted to drive on the road had to first study in a driving school and could only drive on the road after passing the test.

There are naturally no driving schools in the Daliang Dynasty nowadays.

However, during the ride just now, the empress has expressed her desire to learn how to drive.

Xia Yun was quite helpless about this.

Why does the Emperor of Daliang need to learn how to drive?

However, even though he complained in his heart, Xia Yun still took on the task of teaching the empress how to drive.

After all, if he didn't teach her, the empress would probably have to do it herself.

By then, no one can guarantee whether a car accident will happen.

"Alright, alright, I get it. It's just a test. I'm sure I can pass it."

The empress nodded confidently.

She didn't take the driver's license test that Xia Yun mentioned seriously at all.

In her opinion, with her ability to read the Four Books and Five Classics, learning to drive was a piece of cake.

Hearing this, Xia Yun showed a half-smile on his face.

The driving license test will teach everyone who talks too much a lesson.

The empress is no exception.

Then she will know that getting a driver's license is not an easy thing!

"It's getting late, I'll take my leave first."

After a while, Xia Yun clasped his hands together and bowed and said.

"go Go."

At this moment, the empress's gaze was constantly focused on the car.

This feeling of a dream coming true after several months gave her a brand new experience!

It doesn't take a while.

Xia Yun left from the palace gate.

Midnight.

Xia Yun returned to the Xia Mansion.

However, the first thing Xia Yun did after returning to the Xia Mansion was not to sleep.

Instead, he ordered two cars to be sent to the residences of Xiao Yan and Lei Zhenning.

He had noticed during the day that the two guys were very curious and eager about the car.

But because of face, the two of them did not ask for it directly in front of Xia Yun.

But for Xia Yun.

Just two cars are nothing at all.

As long as he wanted, he could build more military factories. By then, the speed of producing cars would be calculated in hours!

But he doesn't have such plan at the moment.

The main reason is undoubtedly the energy issue.

Gasoline, which powers cars, needs to be refined from crude petroleum extracted from the ground.

However, the oil fields he exploited in Dai County were not enough to sustain large-scale automobile supply needs.

That is to say, he will not further promote industrial innovation plans until enough oil fields are exploited.

……

Half an hour passed.

Lei Zhenning and Xiao Yan received the sedan sent by Xia Yun almost at the same time.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I am here on the orders of Lord Xia Yun to bring you a sedan, which is also equipped with a full-time driver. Please accept it."

Outside the gate of the Ninth Prince's Palace.

The brand new car that Xia Yun sent was parked in the middle of the street.

At the same time, all the people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, including the servants, walked out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion and surrounded the car to observe it carefully.

Most of them did not go to Deshengmen during the day to watch the baggage train enter the city.

But within a few hours from day to night, everything about what happened at Deshengmen today had already spread throughout the capital.

In addition to having their patriotic feelings aroused, ordinary people in the capital.

The most talked-about thing on the streets is definitely the exquisite luxury cars in the baggage train.

In the eyes of ordinary people, those luxury cars are like things from heaven, completely refreshing their understanding of the world.

Naturally, almost everyone dreams of owning a car.

"Please tell Lord Xia Yun that I appreciate Lord Xia's kindness and will come to thank him one day!"

Xiao Yan, who usually seldom accepted gifts, changed his usual behavior at this moment and waved his hand to directly accept the sedan.

You know, this is not ordinary gold, silver or jewelry.

In the entire Daliang Dynasty, no matter how much money one has, as long as Xia Yun doesn't want to, no one can own even a car!

In the office of the Minister of War, Lei Zhenning was also experiencing the scenes in front of the gate of the Ninth Prince's Palace.

All the officials in the Ministry of War swarmed around the sedan.

Curiosity and desire were written on almost everyone's face.

"Is this the legendary sedan? It looks really strange, it's made entirely of steel!"

"Let me tell you, this car is a truly priceless treasure. Not only does it run faster than a Ferghana horse, it can also run for more than ten hours in one breath!"

"Master Xia Yun is truly a god. He can actually create such an amazing thing! I wish I could have a car someday."

"Then you should go to sleep quickly. After all, dreams can contain anything..."

The scene became noisy.

Lei Zhenning, the Minister of War, stood at the back of the crowd with a calm look on his face.

But in fact, at this moment, he was in a very good mood.

He had never expected that Xia Yun would actually send him a car as well.

This made Lei Zhenning, who was originally too embarrassed to ask for it, admire Xia Yun even more!

……

One night passed.

The next morning, when Xia Yun woke up from his sleep, the first thing he did was to go to the lobby of the Ministry of Transport.

Ever since Xu Wan'er became the Minister of Communications, her schedule has become even more crazy. She arrives at the Ministry of Communications almost before dawn every day.

"My Lord, what is the matter?"

Xu Wan'er, who was arranging work in the yamen, looked at Xia Yun who suddenly appeared, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

As the imperial court's Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition, Xia Yun almost never comes here on weekdays.

"When I woke up this morning, I suddenly remembered that Dai County's energy supply might be stretched to its limits, and now we must find more energy sources."

Xia Yun went straight to the point and expressed his thoughts.
