I became the son of Renzong

As for Zhong Jianzhong, Zhao Xi placed high hopes on it. Staying in the court will be more beneficial to future development than simply being a side.Military generals, the reason why there is some prejudice in the court is because there is less communication between civil and military.

Fu Bi thought it would be the same as yesterday, traveling in a small carriage, who knew that the official family had arrived at the pier today...

"After the reform of water transport, the rich minister has never experienced it himself, right? Let's experience it today and see if there is any difference between today's water transport and before."

The mood of the officials today is really good.Fu Bi was also happy to travel in such a relaxed environment.

The person who was being served just got out of the carriage, but Fu Bi was startled by the boat in front of him... It doesn't mean that he has never seen a big ship, the country has developed shipping, even though Fu Bi is from the north, he has seen large river boats of.But Fu Bi had never seen such a riverboat.

"Official..."

"This was built by the inner palace. It was some messy ideas of mine, and then it was realized in the workshop city. However, this is not the first voyage. You will not leave this first time to me. Let's go, Go up and have a look..."

I have never played a yacht in my previous life, but I have seen it.Zhao Xi was not out for pleasure, but before the reform of water transport, Zhao Xi gave some messy ideas about sea canal and river transport to Workshop City, and even sketched a few pictures of ships that he knew.

To be honest, Zhao Xi's half knife is still a non-powered ship, so the so-called improvement and guidance also topped the ships that were close to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.However, this large cruise ship is really the top craftsmanship at the moment.

This is what Zhao Qinjin dedicated to Zhao Xi... This is why Zhao Xi is in a happy mood today.

Yesterday, I favored Zhao Qin, learned the news, and remembered what I had prepared for the eliminated soldiers in the water transport, so I made today's travel changes.

"The concubine greets the official family and the rich..."

For Zhao Qin, Chao Tang didn't know how to position him.She is said to be a concubine, but she has always been the spokesperson of the royal industry, and her status is even higher than that of ordinary concubines in front of the official family.

It is said that they are merchants, but they live in the palace, and there is a separate palace with servants who are equivalent to concubines.

And in the entire Guochao business district, no one did not know that shopkeeper Zhao was a very important figure among the entire Guochao merchants.

Zhao Qin greeted her, even Fu Bi had to give her a hand...

Chapter 788

The truly astonishing interior of this ship, even Fu Bi, who had seen luxury before, was shocked by the interior facilities of the ship.

It is common practice in the country to enjoy pleasure, but the court treats officials in a different way...

"Fu Xiang, don't worry that I'm greedy for pleasure. I estimate that I will only use this ship very rarely. In the end, this ship is still used for business..."

Thinking about it, Fu Bi felt relieved about the official's behavior of sitting on the ground in front of the field ridge yesterday.Those who sit casually on the ridge of the field are the officials, and those who enjoy in such a luxurious boat are also the officials. Those who are left and right in the Song Dynasty are the real officials.

The accompanying soldiers were also in casual clothes, and as the soldiers took their positions, the ships set sail.

Zhao Xi really wanted to call this ship a yacht. Except for the power, everything else was based on the simple diagram Zhao Xi drew based on his own impression of watching TV in later generations. Of course, the shape has nothing to do with Zhao Xi. It is Li Jie and Su Song. , Shen Kuo and others, as well as the painstaking achievements of the craftsmen in the entire workshop city... It's a big deal.

The extravagance of the dynasty is prevalent, whether it is a cruise ship in Bianliang or a passenger ship on the Grand Canal, there has never been one as exquisite as this one, so this will be another new benefit for the workshop city.

And Zhao Xi's ship is just the essence of all the craftsmanship in the workshop city.

Zhao Xi didn't know how the workshop city was weighted on the cruise ship, anyway, it did have the shape of a later cruise ship.This is the crystallization of the combination of Zhao Xi's later ideas and the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty.

To be honest, the shipbuilding industry of the Song Dynasty was already advanced... of course it is aimed at this era.Da Song also has a mind of tolerance and acceptance, that is, the shapes mentioned by Zhao Xi are out of date, but the workshop city still achieves an organic combination, so that officials can experience his ideas reflected.

In fact, Zhao Xi's paintings, which are not abstract and not vivid, are all based on Li Jie's speculation.

On the second-floor platform, Zhao Qin is making tea humbly, and Zhao Xi is sitting leisurely on a semi-circular sofa-like thing... I don’t know how the workshop city is made, and the experience is similar to that of later generations The sofa is not much different.

"Is this sheepskin?"

Fu Bi is quite knowledgeable, just touch it casually a few times.

"Returning to Fuxiang, it is sheepskin. I heard from the craftsmen in the workshop city that it is the first layer of leather. It has been processed and has no peculiar smell. The lining is bullet rings... the same as the official carriage. It is similar to earthquakes. With felt pads, cotton, etc., it is durable and difficult to damage.”

It was Zhao Qin who answered, even Zhao Xi didn't know about it.Zhao Qin was not spoiled, her movements, behavior, and etiquette were all in the right order, and she behaved like a servant when facing the officials and the prime minister.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, what is the final purpose of this ship?"

Fu Bi bowed his hands and called Zhao the shopkeeper, which meant that Zhao Qin was not regarded as a real person.

This moved Zhao Qin very much. Of course, everything was given by the officials.

"Returning to Fu Xiang, the boat was custom-made by the inner government in the workshop city. As for the use, it should be decided by the empress, not a concubine who should gossip."

"I think that this cruise ship is more beneficial to be used as a model than for business operation, and it can be regarded as a report to the painstaking efforts of the master craftsmen in the workshop city..."

In the end, it is because of the experience on the scene that the words are not leaking.

The ship was used by the official, and it was still custom-made in the name of the official. If it is really used for business as the official said, it does not conform to the etiquette system.

It is said to be a model, but it actually defines the nature of this ship...

All the way leisurely, the merchant ships, cargo ships, and passenger ships passing by the Wuzhang River were all attracted by this streamlined cruise ship.

Of course, no one has dared to be rude... Those who can get the latest craft ships in the workshop city are not something ordinary merchants can provoke, but people are all thinking about going to the workshop city to inquire.

Fu Bi was extremely skeptical that the purpose of this waterway trip was to promote the craftsmanship of the workshop city.

I didn't get off the boat all day, and even spent the night on the boat.And the sophistication of the rooms, and the smooth sailing, make it hard to tell you're on a boat.

Fu Bi didn't care, he didn't ask about the destination at all, he didn't even have any doubts about the boat diverting to the north, he just followed.

For some years, Fu Bi has never been so leisurely.

Although there are also banquets in Bianliang, those inviters all have one purpose or another.Dining has never been easy.

Only in this way, accompanying the officials, Fu Bi doesn't have to worry about asking for himself, and can truly relax.

Drinking tea, tasting wine, discussing the new poems circulating in the country...~This is really playing.

"Official, where are you going?"

At the beginning of the next day, Fu Bi finally couldn't hold back anymore.

The busy state affairs made the court and cabinet ministers overwhelmed, and I really accompanied the officials on trips...~ In just one day, Fu Bi couldn't make it through.

"Fu Xiang...should be here."

"Is this Liang Shanluo?"

"Yes, it is Liang Shanbo."

"Why is this official?"

"Fu Xiang, reform of the water transport, where are the soldiers and subordinates of the water transport yamen originally supported by the imperial court?"

"Nothing to do! Merchants buy out the right to operate the water transport. They are not as merciful as the imperial court. It is the right thing to reduce personnel and reduce expenses."

Zhao Qin was responsible for Fu Bi's remark, and it was not intentional.
