The first one, naturally, is General Yuwen.
He said gently, "Very good."
This time, when he appeared before the artisan group, his attitude was unusually "kind," like a Buddha bathed in holy light, with a benevolent face and a perfectly respectable leader.
If they hadn't already witnessed the general's cunning, treacherous nature, capricious temper, and arbitrary punishments, which led to several rounds of personnel changes in their artisan corps, they would have truly believed that the general was a good leader who understood his subordinates.
But this time, the general... seemed to have changed his ways. Why did he grant Aqing's every request?
Look at that answer, it's so gentle and welcoming, unlike when I lectured them before, when my words were like knives piercing their hearts and livers.
However, Zheng Quchi was not satisfied: "What do you mean by 'very good'?"
Using broad terms too little seems perfunctory; she needs more people and more concrete, real-life experiences.
Once she gets into work, she neglects everything else. The tone of her question was disrespectful, and when asked, it made those around her uneasy.
Ah Qing, that kid, he's really daring.
Seeing her droopy face and her clear eyes revealing her dissatisfaction, Yuwen Sheng suddenly laughed inappropriately.
The uncontrollable, hearty laughter sent chills down everyone's spine.
What is the general laughing at?
"Stop laughing, tell me quickly," Zheng Quchi urged anxiously.
Wow, this kid is really fearless to speak to the general like that!
The craftsmen stared in horror, backing away three feet, fearing that if blood splattered on the spot, it would implicate them, the innocent victims.
However, the bloody scene they had envisioned did not appear.
Ripples appeared in Yuwen Sheng's eyes, which were as dark as the sea. He "obediently" suppressed his smile, paused for a moment, and began to summarize his words.
"When the carriage starts, there is a slight forward lurch. When running slowly, there is only a slight shaking that can be ignored. When running fast, the wind speed is too strong and the window gaps are too wide, but the feeling inside the carriage is very calm. There is a tremor underfoot, but the bumpy feeling that used to make my whole body shake when I rode in a carriage is mostly relieved by an up-and-down undulating force, making me feel relaxed."
That's quite detailed.
So this time Zheng Quchi was satisfied.
She gave Yuwen Sheng a sincere smile: "General, you've explained it very well, thank you."
She turned her head and looked at Wei Yao again.
Wei Yao originally thought that this carriage was the most luxurious and comfortable carriage he had ever ridden in, but he knew that his wife would not be satisfied with him saying that.
But he was a roughneck and didn't have the eloquence of a general.
"I feel the same way as the general."
Zheng Quchi blinked and looked at Fu Rong. He thought he was very eloquent, but in order not to steal the general's thunder, he said modestly, "I am the same as the general."
Wang Zebang: "Me too."
Runtu: "Hmm."
Their answers are getting more and more concise, and what's with the "um" at the end?
Zheng Quchi's lips twitched, and finally he placed his expectant gaze on Fu Changfeng and the others.
Fu Changfeng looked both aggrieved and ashamed, and he glared at her secretly.
Don't go too far. He came here to kick someone when they're down, but now she wants him to add insult to injury. She wants to tear his face off completely and stomp on it.
But faced with her bright, fiery eyes, which seemed to draw him in, he gritted his teeth and stammered, "The second-floor seats in the carriage are spacious, but the wind is too strong. It's uncomfortable when it's going fast..."
"I'll add a barrier later. Also, is the vibration strong up there?"
"It's okay, it's not painful, but when you stop suddenly, you're prone to falling forward, so you have to hold on tight..."
"Then we'll need to add a protective belt."
"besides……"
Her design focused primarily on the comfort of the carriages, while the top floor was mainly used for loading cargo.
However, if it could be improved, the view from the roof would definitely be wider than from inside the car.
The first round of testing on flat ground came out, and overall, they were quite satisfied, but that wasn't enough; it didn't clearly differentiate it from other carriages.
Zheng Quchi pleaded with them, "Then let's do it one more time."
"Huh? Why do we have to do it again?" Fu Rong asked, puzzled.
Zheng Quchi said, "Let's do it again. This time, the carriage will run on uneven ground with obstacles."
They asked in surprise, "Are you going to make it more difficult?"
"Yes, this carriage is not only designed to travel on the smooth stone-paved streets of the city, but it can also handle difficult and uneven roads."
Her words instantly piqued their curiosity to a fever pitch.
"really?"
"Shall we try it?" she asked.
This time, without asking anything, Yuwen Sheng smiled slightly at her and returned to the carriage. The other six did the same. They showed her through their actions that they would give it a try!
After they got into the car, the driver called over a servant and had the gravel she had specially collected that morning spread on the ground.
Then he picked up a plow and dug a mud pit in the ground to simulate rain and snow. He then splashed water on the grassy areas to simulate the slippery and dangerous conditions of the pit.
Finally, obstacles were set up along the way.
After everything was ready, Zheng Quchi gave the order: "This time, after we start, let's speed up and quickly pass through these three sections of road!"
Yu Fu swallowed hard, recalling their earlier conversation. He bolstered his courage and said, "Yes."
Without further hesitation, the driver cracked the whip, and the carriage started moving again...
