The Emperor personally taught car driving techniques, and when the news was released, Kyoto immediately shook Wu Shun is whom That is the emperor of Shu Kingdom, this identity makes people who learn car driving skills squeeze through the door of the training department.
These people may not want to learn driving skills, but they must want to get in touch with Wu Shun.
Touching the Emperor Taishang of Shu, no amount of money can buy it.
However, Wu Shun personally checked that the personnel who participated in the training for the first time were all selected, and on the day the list of participants in the training was posted, Kyoto shook again Because in the list of "students" in the first issue, the first name is Wu Hao The emperors of Shu are all learning car driving skills, and the people of Shu have no reason not to learn It can be said that Wu Shun and his son gave a wide-ranging advertisement to the state-owned commodity of automobiles.
After a month of training, Wu Hao also has his own dragon car, and after dealing with government affairs, Wu Hao will take Ma Zhong to run a lap Automobiles, a novel means of transportation, began to appear on the roads of Kyoto, and cars can occasionally be seen in other prefectures.
Everyone knew that automobiles would become the new means of transportation to replace horses and carriages, but they were too hard to come by.
Except for the first batch of trainees, everyone else wants to buy a car, sorry, go to the Ministry of Transportation to sign up and queue up, when the queue arrives for you, you take the money to pick up the car As for the quality of the car, there will be no problem at all, because it is produced by the Ministry of Industry, and no car has a unique logo, that is, the license plate number, and if the car has a problem and needs to be repaired, it can be sent back to the Ministry of Transportation for processing.
Of course, repairing a car also costs money, and the craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering have a lot to do, so they don't have much free time to repair cars.
Even though there are a lot of procedures for buying a car, and there are still many people who are willing to queue up.
Now in Kyoto, I don't have a car of my own, and Mi is embarrassed to say that he is rich and powerful When the national car craze began, everyone thought that the Ministry of Industry would produce a large number of cars, but Wu Shun made an unexpected decision.
He asked Pu Yuan to lead the research team to add weapons on the basis of the car, making the car a new weapon And since it is for the military, then trucks, troop carriers, combat vehicles, such weapons of mass destruction must be developed.
The reason why Wu Shun wanted to launch a limited number of civilian cars was to earn some money from them to support the design and manufacture of military vehicles.
A new technology is useless if it does not make the country stronger and more progressive.
Wu Shun hopes that Shu can always be at the forefront of the world and be the distributor of benefits The car, this novelty of transportation, was pushed abroad by businessmen, but without authorization, no businessman dared to get the car out For a time, there was an endless stream of foreign businessmen who went to the Central Plains to investigate, and every time something new appeared in the Central Plains, it could always lead the trend of the times.
Businessmen understand that only by following in the footsteps of the Central Plains can they make a lot of money Some businessmen have approached the Ministry of Transportation, hoping that cars can be given to them with the same authorization as any other commodity This kind of thing, the Ministry of Transportation can't call the shots, so it can only be uploaded After layers of reporting, the demands of foreign businessmen were sent to Wu Hao's desk, the emperor of Shu and now a member of the car enthusiasts.
He really wanted to promote the car to any place outside the Central Plains, so that the world could see the strength and advancement of the Central Plains However, Wu Hao also knew that he had to discuss this matter with Wu Shun first, and then listen to the opinions of the ministers at the court meeting Wu Shun's dormitory, Wu Hao came here again, and wanted Wu Shun to ask about the authorization of the car.
"Hao'er, what price do you think the car should be sold for outside the Central Plains?"
Wu Shun asked.
"Naturally, it is sky-high" Wu Hao said as a matter of course, the car is a symbol of status, only the Central Plains, of course, the gold is very expensive.
Wu Shun saw that Wu Hao was just staying at the stage of selling cars to make money, so he reminded: "Cars can be sold, but it depends on who they sell to, and the authorization can also be given, but not to businessmen outside the Central Plains."
"Father, who should we sell to and who should we authorize," Wu Hao asked.
He just wanted to use the car to make foreigners' money, and he really didn't think about these details.
"Selling, naturally, it is sold to foreign princes and nobles, and only they have endless wealth.
In Kyoto, the unified release of cars from the Ministry of Transportation is equivalent to the imperial court selling cars.
The Ministry of Communications can negotiate with the Ministry of Commerce to directly contact foreign aristocrats who want to own cars and trade directly.
As for the later stage, you can authorize a few imperial merchants to let them grind with foreigners.
Wu Shun said.
Sky-high prices of cars, but also only princes and nobles can use, and the higher the value, the more they can show their extraordinary, the heart of comparison, money will roll into the Central Plains.
Once experienced, few people can resist the charm of a car "Father, I almost understand, tomorrow the court meeting, let the ministers discuss," Wu Hao said.
The suggestion given by Wu Shun made Wu Hao feel like he was stunned, but in fact, he didn't go to Zhang Song, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, otherwise he would have gotten more enlightenment.
After the discussion of the ministers, the proposal of selling cars to foreign countries was adopted, and many ministers believed that cars were just a means of transportation, and there was nothing wrong with exporting them, and more importantly, they could also show the advanced nature of the Central Plains technology by the way.
The first car to be exported was a custom-made car sold to the Persian king, and after discussion, the ministers agreed that the car should be sold to Persia with more symbolic meaning than practical significance Because Rome and Persia are now on the same page The Persians had immortal brews, but they did not sell them to Rome, which made the food and heaven restaurants in the Roman capital Constantinople lack the most important wine Although Rome also has its own wine, compared to the fairy wine, it is horse urine, which is simply undrinkable Because of the immortal brew, a war almost broke out between Persia and Rome The Persians used the immortal brew purchased from the Central Plains to obtain a large amount of wealth, and the Persian king used this wealth to arm the Persian army, and in the face of the restored strength of Persia, the Roman monarch Diocletian felt threatened But Persia and the Central Plains had a pact, and the Romans did not dare to provoke war easily Unless the Persians attack first, the Central Plains will have an excuse to intervene in the war.
This was where the scruples of the Roman army lie The strength of the Persian army was not inferior to Rome Although they had not fought head-on with the Central Plains, from the crushing defeat of the Persians in the Western Regions, the Romans knew that the Central Plains army could not be provoked.
Now that the Central Plains has developed a new means of transportation and sold it directly to the Persian king, it can be seen that the Central Plains are closer to Persia.
Rome wanted to form an alliance twice, but the Central Plains did not give it a chance, and in contrast, the Persians did like the Central Plains more
