" That's strong enough. This is what a man should drink," Cheng Yaojin shouted." So it turns out that you're drinking horse urine."”
The civil officials were speechless, but the generals felt that what Cheng Yaojin said made sense and nodded.
It turned out that after the winter wheat harvest this year, Li Shimin took out some grain to brew a batch of white wine. Today was the first time he took it out.
"Your Majesty, this time, I, Old Cheng, don't want any other rewards.”
"Yes, I am. Your Majesty, I am the same."
All the generals spoke up. Today's wine was much better than the original Sanle Jiang. It was clear as water, soft in the mouth, and felt like fire in the stomach. After drinking it, it felt like hot blood was surging to their heads. This was the wine they were drinking.
"Haha…Alright, everyone will be rewarded with a cart of Chang An Drunk. Now, everyone's mission is to eat and drink well.”
That night, whether it was the civil officials or the generals, they all drank until they were numb, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, but who cared?
The next day, the Royal Daily published the results of the Great Tang's sweeping sweep of the Eastern Turks, describing in detail the reason, course, and outcome of the war against the Turks.
After the war, the Great Tang had settled the herdsmen and brought the grasslands under the Great Tang's control. The people on the northern border of the Great Tang would no longer suffer from the Turkic invasion.
Moreover, the Great Tang had seized a lot of horses from the Eastern Turks. In addition to enough horses to equip the regular army, the court would also use some horses to improve Chang 'an's public transportation.
The people of Chang 'an once again entered the rhythm of the festival. When the people of Chang' an were celebrating, they found a group of people placing wooden signs on the street.
Out of curiosity, they all crowded over and saw the words "Xinglu Lane (Xingdao Lane), Breeding Lane (Kaihua Lane)... Yanzuo Lane (Anyi Lane)" written on the bus.
After the staff who installed the wooden sign explained, everyone understood that this was the public transportation mentioned in the newspaper.
The layout of Chang 'an City was very neat. There were 108 squares in total, 12 east and west streets, and nine north and south streets.
Each street had a bus route, which meant that there were a total of 21 bus routes.
And every route would have two opposite directions.
When there were more people traveling, several carriages would set off at the same time. When there were fewer people, each carriage would be separated by about fifteen minutes.
No matter where you sat in the carriage, it only cost one coin. In this way, you could go anywhere you wanted in Chang 'an City for two coins at most.
For the people of Chang 'an, even an ordinary person could afford a penny.
It was simply unimaginable that such a carriage only cost a penny. With just a penny, they could save a lot of time. This was simply too cost-effective. Many commoners were eager to give it a try.
At this moment, a public carriage arrived. The carriage was very large, much larger than an ordinary carriage.
When everyone saw the carriage arrive, the commoners who wanted to experience it all swarmed forward.
"Get off first, then get on! Please line up and get on!”
A coachman in his thirties shouted.
More and more passengers alighted from the carriage. At this moment, the coachman continued to shout,
"Please put in your own coins when you get on the bus."
At the entrance of the carriage, there was a wooden box that stood upright. There was a long opening on the top of the box, which was the coin slot.
On the box, there was also the words," Please consciously put in coins, one coin each time.”
This carriage could seat eighteen people, with three people in each row. It was divided into two rows, one for single seats and one for double seats.
When the carriage was full, the coachman rang a bell on the front of the carriage to indicate that the carriage was about to set off.
Once the public carriage appeared in Chang 'an, it immediately caused a great uproar.
A four-wheeled carriage was not something that ordinary people could afford. Therefore, after the news of the public carriage spread, not only did the commoners who needed to travel want to ride it, but even the commoners who did not plan to travel wanted to experience the feeling of riding a carriage.
As a result, the public bus was unusually popular, and it was always full. Fortunately, Li Shimin had expected this situation and was prepared in advance to ensure that the public bus was running normally.
After experiencing it, the people of Chang 'an City immediately praised it, and soon the whole city knew about it.
The shops near the bus stop all felt that their business had improved a lot since the public bus arrived.
Because there was a lot more traffic than usual, the people would always go to the shop to take a look while waiting for the bus.
At the same time when the bus opened, there was a group of people who gave off the feeling that it was their first time in Chang 'an.
It was obvious that this team was not from the Great Tang. Their faces were dark red, and their clothes seemed to be draped over half of their bodies, with one arm exposed.
He looked around and saw the carriages and many commoners on the street. Most of them were dumbfounded, except for the leader who seemed to be deep in thought.
When the leader saw the person beside him acting like a country bumpkin, he almost fumed with anger. It was too embarrassing.
After they quickly snapped back to their senses, they asked the commoners by the roadside and hurried to the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
