Chapter 297 The Gradually Changing Capital

When Chi Nan sent a batch of four-wheel shock-absorbing carriages to the royal family, just as he thought, things quickly got out of hand. At first, everyone felt that this kind of carriage was very weird and no one wanted to use it.

But the next day, the old king, who looked much younger, came out to test the carriage himself. This time, other members of the royal family were attracted. "Not bad, not bad. It's really shock-absorbing. I can't feel any vibration at all. It's rocking and very comfortable. I won't have to be so tired when traveling in the future." The king said after coming down.

When other members of the royal family heard this, they immediately started experimenting. Everyone was very satisfied with the result.

"It's good, but the shape is a bit weird and the wheels are too big. And the carriage itself is made of ordinary wood." That's right, Chi Nan didn't use any expensive wood.

The king waved his hand, and then said to a craftsman: "Can it be transformed?"

The craftsman looked at it, then nodded and said: "Yes, the entire carriage is a whole, but we can dismantle the upper part and reinstall it. Because it is all wood, it is not very troublesome to install. It is the one of your Majesty the King. A large carriage may take some time to prepare.”

The king's own large carriage was specially made by Chi Nan. It doesn't have four wheels, but a full sixteen wheels, but it doesn't look like a big truck, but a large, square carriage.

The space above is very wide, and the whole thing is like a mobile house. It is very similar to the original command post with wheels, but with added shock absorption. So it's pretty good in itself.

"We have studied that the shock absorption mainly relies on the spring below, but it should be made by Earl Chinan with his own magic. We have no way to make it. The ground is made of hardwood, which is very hard. An ordinary carriage is fine. The surface is made of ordinary wood, but the body of Your Majesty’s special carriage is also made of hardwood.”

The hardwood can be used as a city wall. The king's specially made carriage is simply a bulletproof carriage.

The king waved his hand: "I don't need to modify that one. I like that boy quite a lot. As for the decoration, just leave it to the etiquette officer. Okay, I'm old and I have to go back and rest."

Although the scent of the forest can help him slow down his aging process, he is still very old after all. Moreover, I haven't been able to use the breath of the forest for a very long time, so I'm still unable to do it. It seems that we really need to consider the matter of heirs.

After the king left, other members of the royal family rushed to begin experiments. Before this, only Sophila had ridden in this kind of four-wheeled carriage, and no one else had. Now with the king as an example, how could they continue to exclude.

As a result, from that day on, there were four-wheeled carriages driving on the road, and many people invited their friends to ride on them. Soon, the four-wheeled carriages became popular throughout the royal capital.

Gradually, more and more people joined the ranks of ordering four-wheel shock-absorbing carriages. Because of the horse-drawn carriages, a large number of other goods in department stores have also begun to increase sales in large quantities.

Chi Nan's business in the royal capital can be said to be completely stable.

It has been a month since I arrived in the royal capital, and the royal capital is slowly changing. Chi Nan himself didn't pay attention, but many people still noticed the changes in the capital.

These changes were all brought about by Chi Nan. In the past, nobles either talked about where to go hunting or all kinds of luxuries. Now, the topics of discussion are all moving closer to the various items in Hongsha Ridge. Especially the smell of the forest was the focus of discussion among the nobles at every gathering.

If any nobleman did not buy or did not understand the items in Hongshaling Department Store, he would become an alien in the eyes of other nobles and become an outdated old guy.

On the streets, there were fewer and fewer horse-drawn carriages, replaced by more and more four-wheeled carriages. This kind of horse-drawn carriage with shock-absorbing properties has slowly become a symbol of identity and status.

Because the output could not increase, Chi Nan did not personally participate in the construction. He only provided several plants used to produce parts. Carving hardwood boards is not an easy task. As a result, because the production speed was not very fast, the four-wheeled carriage became a situation where only people with status could use it.

Treehouse villas have become a fashion, and roads are being built all over the capital, using road planting seeds sold in department stores. As a result, strong and beautiful roads were formed in the royal capital.

The entire royal capital is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Nowadays, when receiving guests, there is no longer juice or red wine on the table, but mainly tea. If you want to invite others without tea, you will be laughed at.

The more we drink, the more we are attracted by the delicious taste of tea, and we feel addicted. It seems that if you don't drink some tea for a day, you will feel like something is missing, and you may even feel uncomfortable all over.

The mercenaries coming and going on the road used to wear swords, but now in addition to swords, they also have things like pea cannons. Pea Cannons cannot be sold to mercenaries in large quantities, but they can still be used by everyone. Although it is more expensive, this thing is much easier to use than crossbows, and it does not require too much maintenance.

Having such a pea cannon is equivalent to having a powerful archer, even more powerful than an archer. After adding rifling, the accuracy of the pea gun satisfied everyone.

This is not the fourth generation, but the improved third generation, which is the same version used by the army.

It can be said that if you want to join a team to go out for adventure, having a pea cannon in your hand will greatly increase your chances of joining successfully, and even increase your voice in the team.

There are also some teams that will not allow you to join without a pea cannon. The power and charm of the pea cannon have completely conquered the adventurers in the capital. Even because the pea cannon is easy to operate and powerful, there are more and more adventurers and mercenaries in the capital recently. Some people who were not good at fighting or were timid in the past also dared to take risks.

But Chi Nan had no time to pay attention to these, because the school was about to start. Helpless Chi Nan could only start preparing teaching materials and study by himself. Unfortunately, there was no one around him who could teach him these things.

Recently, Sophia was very busy, so Chi Nan could only study by himself. "What are these things? Why do I have to learn etiquette? Isn't it enough to be polite?" Chi Nan threw the book down and said to himself.
