"Yeah! This air conditioner is really cool, and the money is indeed well spent!"
“With air conditioning, you don’t have to worry about the heat in summer!”
"No matter how hot it is outside, it's still cool inside. This feeling is so good...!"
After the air conditioners were installed in the homes of the veterans, everyone from the oldest to the youngest crowded into the main hall and couldn't stop praising the air conditioners.
Even the servants were willing to hang out in the main hall.
Even if there is no work, find some work for yourself!
Who keeps it cool here?
The same is true in the palace.
After learning that air conditioning was installed in Yuxiu Palace, Ying Zheng's wives and beauties immediately went to find Ying Zheng and tried every means, with one purpose, to get him to install air conditioning in their palace!
Ying Zheng indeed readily agreed, but was told that he would have to wait until the next batch of air conditioners was produced.
And their current batch was specially made in advance by Ying Feiyu, and the next batch will have to wait until after autumn and winter!
When the ladies and beauties heard this, their hearts froze!
The weather is getting cold, why do they need air conditioning?
"Since you won't buy it for us, then let's go to Yuxiu Palace!"
"right!"
The madam and the beauties discussed it for a while and immediately reached an agreement.
As soon as the weather gets hot, we go to Yuxiu Palace together.
On the surface, it is said to be a visit, to chat with Lian'er to relieve boredom, but in fact, it is just to use the air conditioner!
Even when it was lunch time, they refused to leave, saying that sisters were together to enhance their relationship!
When the sun sets outside, when will they be willing to leave!
Lian'er didn't have anything to say. She was the only one with air conditioning. It's hard for anyone else to feel balanced!
When the people learned that a magical machine like air conditioning had been developed, they started talking about it.
"I heard that Zhang Shangshu's family has a machine that can blow out cold wind, which is extremely cool!"
"I also know this. What does it seem to be called... air conditioner? It seems that several ministers have it in their homes, and the price is not cheap!"
"That's for sure. It's hard to buy an extra bicycle at home, but we still want air conditioning? Just go to bed...!"
The people couldn't help but laugh at themselves.
Originally, Ying Feiyu planned to manufacture the electric fan first. After all, it was cheap and easy to make.
But then I thought about it, even if the electric fan is cheap, it is still in vain if people don’t have electricity in their homes!
And those who can install electricity are all wealthy and distinguished households.
Since you are a wealthy household, you can arrange air conditioning directly in one step!
Air conditioners and electric fans are definitely not on the same level in terms of comfort!
Not long after, the air conditioning in the car was also installed.
Ying Zheng and others can't wait to drive out and try it out!
As soon as the car window is closed and the air conditioner is turned on, it is still cool under the scorching sun!
After running around Xianyang City, I didn’t feel depressed at all!
When passing the Commercial City, Ying Zheng couldn't help but slow down.
Ying Feiyu, Wang Bi and others caught up and asked about the situation.
"This...? What's going on? Why are there so many people in Commercial City?"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he pointed in the direction of the Commercial City in shock.
The last time I came to participate in the lottery draw, this place had just been built. Except for the people who came to participate in the lottery draw, there was not a single person in sight!
How long has it been? Is it so prosperous?
"Yes! Is there anything strange about it?"
Ying Feiyu rolled down the car window, nodded and said, not thinking there was any problem at all.
There is some news about the Commercial City in the newspapers almost every day. Could it be that Daddy Scumbag didn't see it?
"Isn't it strange? Where do these people come from?"
He knew the news about Commercial City, but he didn't expect so many people.
"Yiyi, my father, has been staying in the palace to occupy his son during this period. Naturally, he knows very little about the things outside! In the future, my father should still go out and walk around more!"
Ying Feiyu persuaded while smiling.
Of course, there is also a hint of complaint in it!
"Hmph! What do you mean by this? How can I call you "Occupy Yiyi"? That is my granddaughter. Isn't it normal for me to go and see her more...?"
As soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng was unhappy and kept rolling his eyes, "Let's go! Take me to have a look!"
Now that the world is peaceful and there are no internal or external troubles, Ying Zheng becomes more and more courageous and wanders around the city from time to time.
You know, he used to be very cautious.
During the eastward patrol, not only did he bring troops, but he also brought out several carriages. The carriages were different every day, in order to confuse those who wanted to assassinate him!
"Fine!"
Ying Feiyu shrugged helplessly.
He closed the car window and led the way, guiding Ying Zheng to the parking lot.
"Good guy, there are so many vehicles here?"
After getting off the car, Ying Zheng was shocked when he looked at the densely packed vehicles in the parking lot.
Looking at this scene, it seems that we are about to catch up with the soldiers to go to war, right?
"Father may not know, but vehicles are not allowed to pass through the main streets of the commercial city, so they are all parked here!"
Ying Feiyu explained simply.
"What? No vehicles allowed? Xianyang City doesn't even have such rules!"
Ying Zheng said with his eyes raised.
"Commercial City has its own rules of Commercial City!"
Ying Feiyu smiled lightly.
"How many people! Park the cars, three cents each!"
As expected, just as they parked the car and turned off the engine, the sharp-eyed administrator came trotting over.
"Wow..."
Wang Ben had guessed that this would happen, so he prepared the scattered copper coins early in the morning and handed them to the administrator.
You can't ask His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor to pay for it!
Looking at this familiar set of actions, Ying Feiyu was even more certain that these old guys must be the ones who bought those expensive villas!
Otherwise, how would you know that you need to pay for the parking lot? Do you still know clearly the price to be paid?
"This...what does this mean?"
This operation made Ying Zheng confused again.
They didn't buy anything, so why do they still have to pay?
"Your Majesty, you need to pay to park here!"
Wang Ben explained.
"What? Say it again?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he looked in disbelief and thought he had heard wrongly.
"Your Majesty, you heard it right, just as you heard, you need to pay for parking here! Three cents for each car and four cents for the oxen and carriage!"
Wang Ben, who has been here several times, is very familiar with these.
When they came here for the first time, they heard that they had to pay for parking, and their expressions were exactly the same as those of the Supreme Emperor.
But after some questioning, I understood!
"What? The charge for an ox-carriage is higher than a car...?"
There was some anger on Ying Zheng's face, "You are clearly bullying the people!"
Those who can afford cars must be wealthy families, while those who drive oxen and carriages are either people with a little money or ordinary people who come to set up stalls and do business.
The charges are actually higher than those who drive cars?
"Father, it's not good to be so hasty! Take a look over there first...!"
Ying Feiyu was not in a hurry to explain, but pointed to where the cattle, horses and vehicles were parked.
Several caretakers were feeding water and grass to the tied cattle and horses under the scorching sun, and a few were cleaning up the excrement!
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng understood.
When the car is parked here, there is no need to add grass, let alone clean up the feces, so naturally there is less!
"You've built a commercial city as big as yours, but you still need this small amount of money, so why don't you charge no fees?"
"Father, there is no charge for setting up stalls on the streets of the commercial city, and there is no charge for using the shops. We only charge a few pence for the parking lot every day, which is used to hire these administrators. Isn't it too much?"
Ying Feiyu said with a grimace.
"Huh? You don't even charge money to use the shops? Then why did you build the commercial city...?"
