The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

Situ Yuan had actually discussed the name of the rickshaw with Xie Ying a long time ago, and planned to call it Taiping Cart.

But Xie Ying said that they should not name it yet and let Emperor Taihe choose it. This way, Emperor Taihe would feel involved and would be happier.

Situ Yuan silently watched the expression of Emperor Taihe. When he heard the three words "Taiping Car", he instantly became delighted and could not help but secretly admire Xie Ying.

Although he is a person with brain abilities, he is far inferior to Xie Ying in calculating people's hearts.

How come Xie Ying is so good at this kind of thing?

Is it because I see too much messy things on a daily basis?

He secretly complained in his heart, but Emperor Taihe clapped his thigh and said "good" three times in a row, then patted Situ Yuan's shoulder with satisfaction: "Yuan'er is really not bad, I was not wrong about you, you are so smart at such a young age."

Situ Yuan: “…”

Although he was somewhat speechless, he still said obediently: "Yuan'er just wants to help his uncle solve his problems and bring peace to the world."

When Emperor Taihe heard his words, he was delighted again and patted his shoulders and praised him continuously.

Situ Yuan was so flattered that he got goosebumps all over his body. He had no choice but to say, "Uncle, since the rickshaw is called Taiping Cart, I want to name the rickshaw shop Taiping Cart Shop."

"Oh?" Emperor Taihe's heart moved. "I heard that you opened a car shop in Gusu, selling human-powered... Taiping cars."

Situ Yuan nodded and continued, "Yingying said this car is very comfortable and will definitely sell well. However, the current rubber production is too low, so we can't produce too many Taiping cars. If we can successfully grow rubber grass, we can plant more and produce more Taiping cars in the future."

Emperor Taihe, however, thought of military applications. He frowned and said, "I've heard that rubber tires are very labor-saving. If they are used to transport food and fodder, can it shorten the delivery time?"

Situ Yuan understood what he meant and said, "Rubber tires are indeed more labor-saving than wooden wheels, but using this kind of vehicle to transport food and fodder is still too slow.

The Taiping Coal Mine had wooden tracks installed, which made it much easier to push the car. However, the wooden tracks were prone to damage over time. If they could be replaced with sturdy iron tracks, they would definitely last longer.

If rails could be installed on the road, could a railway be built? Then, freight cars could be placed on the rails and pulled by horses, which might be more labor-saving than using rubber tires.

Emperor Taihe was stunned and shook his head repeatedly: "How many rails would that require? The cost is too high!"

Situ Yuan frowned awkwardly, "It's true that building rails is too expensive, but what if we can make the freight cars bigger?

If it were made into a large carriage, it could not only carry a lot of cargo, but also people. Wouldn't that be very convenient?"

Emperor Taihe smiled helplessly, thinking that he was just a child's fantasy. "How many horses would be needed to pull a carriage that big? This way, the gains would not be worth the losses."

Situ Yuan deliberately asked, "What if we don't need horses?"

Emperor Taihe was puzzled: "If not horses, what should we use? Mules or oxen? We can't use donkeys or people to pull it, right?"

Situ Yuan knew that he couldn't possibly imagine a train from another world, so he pretended to be stubborn and said, "I will definitely be able to build a horseless carriage in the future!"

Emperor Taihe regarded him as the boastful words of a child who had no idea of ​​his own limitations and did not take him seriously.

But seeing that he was insistent, he patted his shoulder and praised him: "Okay, uncle will wait for you to make it!"

Situ Yuan was thinking that he could slowly build some smooth roads.

Cement has been produced a long time ago, but it is too luxurious to build roads with only cement. Gravel or slag must be used to pave the roads.

Anyway, the load capacity of cars nowadays is limited, so there is no need to worry about damaging the road surface.

However, he needs to spend more time studying coal chemical industry and petrochemical industry.

Whether it is asphalt, kerosene, paraffin or mineral oil, they are all good things.

It just so happens that both rubber grass and rubber trees take time to grow, so there is no need to rush. While waiting, he can do something else useful.

Situ Yuan was just thinking about it when he heard Emperor Taihe say, "I have already sent someone to Gusu to convey the imperial decree, conferring the title of Princess Fu'an on Yingying. Are you satisfied now?"

At this point, his expression suddenly became a little strange, "Yingying is still so young, do you know that a scooter is easy to buy?"

Situ Yuan smiled and said, "She didn't know about it originally, but Gusu held a poetry competition a while ago and sold a lot of tickets. Yingying heard some of it and learned it."

Emperor Taihe thought of Xie Ying's chubby appearance and her sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but laugh: "She is quite smart."

He wanted to laugh just thinking about Xie Ying's appearance.

Emperor Taihe couldn't help but ask: "By the way, is she fatter now, or has she lost weight?"

Situ Yuan thought of Xie Ying's chubby face and tried hard not to burst out laughing: "Well, she's a little taller now."

Emperor Taihe looked at him deeply and said, "It's time for her to grow taller. It's been so long. If she hasn't grown at all, Xie Xiu would be worried."

Humph, this brat is so young, but he already knows how to avoid the important issues and answer irrelevant questions.

When I asked you if you were fat, you said you grew taller.

You know how to protect that girl.

Emperor Taihe complained in his heart for a while, but didn't take it seriously. After instructing Situ Yuan to go play with Yang Tao, he had someone release the news about the Taiping Car.

The palace wanted to replace the heavy sedan chair with a Taiping carriage that only needed one person to pull it. If this matter was not made public, how would the world know that he was a benevolent monarch?

Along with the news of the Taiping car, the news that Xie Ying was named a princess also spread.

As soon as the two things spread in the capital, the people began to talk about them.

But what people talked about more was the Taiping car.

Many people are very curious about what a Taiping car is.

Jiang Er just wanted to help Situ Yuan to attract business, so when he heard the people outside talking about it, he deliberately rode in his Taiping car to show off.

But he learned his lesson this time and only asked the driver to trot. He also wore a bearskin cloak and a bearskin hat, covered most of his face with a cloth, and wore sunglasses.

He was holding a small heater in his hand.

This way, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable even if the weather was cold.

After Jiang Er showed off his car, the people in the capital quickly knew what a Taiping car was.
