Chapter 1488 Four-wheeled car and driver's license

"No, I want to stay in the East for a longer time." Princess Sophia shook her head firmly and rejected Sir Greenville's proposal.

"But your Highness, you can't stay here forever..." Sir Greenville tried to persuade.

However, he did not know that the civil war broke out shortly after he left Britain. Now Britain is divided into two camps, the King's Army and the Parliamentary Army, and the princess may face danger when she returns. If Sir Greenville knew that the war was going on in Britain, she would not persuade the princess to go back at this time.

"My brother sent you here to ask me back?" asked Princess Sophia.

"This is not...I came to the East to buy a batch of muskets and cannons..." Sir Greenville said.

"That's all. You're not busy completing your mission and being distracted to nag me what I do." Princess Sophia said dissatisfied. "I'm completing my studies. When I get my degree, I'll consider going back."

"Okay, okay, respect the princess's meaning." Mrs. Grace grabbed her husband at this time.

Sir Greenville shook his head helplessly, most likely he could not persuade him.

"Princess, have you overslept?" Salina asked Princess Sophia to ease the atmosphere.

Princess Sophia's cheeks turned slightly red, and she was really called: "Didn't I come here quickly..."

"You're here just now. You're here shortly after we left." Ella, Da Yu'er and others liked the princesses with true temperaments around them, and they were also used to the princesses's own way of doing what they were.

In fact, Princess Sophia occasionally made trouble in the capital, but did not cause any losses. It would be better to say that it was the atmosphere in the capital.

Sure enough, after Princess Sophia arrived, the group seemed even more lively.

"This kind of bicycle called Phoenix is ​​really useful. It is like walking on flat ground. The bicycle I used before is bumpy and bumpy. What's even more strange is that the price of the bicycle has been reduced." Princess Sofia kept saying it.

Among the Europeans of this era, Princess Sophia is a person who is extremely interested in new things, and is more likely to accept these new things. She even bought two bicycles at a high cost. The bicycle she compared uses solid tires and the other uses pneumatic tires. The bicycles with pneumatic tires are more advanced, which surprised her.

"It has been several years since I brought the princess back from the West. The princess has been staying in our capital. I don't know what she has to think." Li Jinde and Chu Yun walked behind and said to Chu Yun.

At that time, he first appeared in London. King Charles met him. Later, he brought back the envoys composed of Princess Sophia, Sir Greenville, Salina and others to the mainland. As a result, this strange voyage greatly changed history.

"It may not be a good thing to let her stay in the capital for the time being." Chu Yun knew that war would break out in Britain, but instead hoped that Sophia would stay in the safe East for the time being and stay away from the war.

He didn't know whether the war would escalate after he changed the original history of Britain. If Charles I was defeated and executed, leaving Princess Sophia in the East would be able to retain blood for the British royal family, which was also a reward for Charles I's permission to garrison him in Portsmouth.

"Mr. Chu, I want to buy a four-wheeled car, but I still have some money. I wonder if you can ask them to sell it to me at a lower price?" Princess Sophia was originally chatting with the girls. When she saw Chu Yun, she came over and asked.

Chu Yun smiled slightly: "People in automobile factories also have to eat. It took them several years to build four-wheeled cars that can barely drive long distances. If the price of cars can be lowered at any time, it would not be respectful to the fruits of their labor."

"Ah, but the price of a four-wheeled car is too expensive compared to a bicycle. I can afford a bicycle, but I can't afford a four-wheeled car. The four-wheeled car looks very handsome. If there is a four-wheeled car that can enter and exit freely in the capital, how powerful it would be!" Princess Sophia said excitedly.

Bicycles can already be produced in small batches, but four-wheeled cars are not good yet. Some of the parts of cars even require manual polishing by workers. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to produce a four-wheeled car, and it also needs to make up for the cost of developing gasoline engines, gasoline technology, and rubber technology. Currently, four-wheeled cars can be sold to private individuals, but the price is quite expensive.

"Although the price of four-wheeled cars cannot be reduced, I can fund you a sum of money and let you buy a four-wheeled car." Chu Yun said indifferently.

"Really...?!" Princess Sophia was overjoyed to see Chu Yun generously sponsoring her a four-wheeled car.

"A four-wheeled car is nothing, it is also a reward for working with your brother, King of Britain." Chu Yun said.

"Of course it's true." Chu Yun secretly bribed Charles I in order to garrison in Britain and build a bridgehead in Europe, and the benefits he gave him were much higher than the price of a four-wheeled car. It was nothing he could give Princess Sophia a four-wheeled car to gain the favor of the royal family.

But in Princess Sofia's opinion, this was simply a dream thing: "I, I don't know how to repay me..."

"Sofia, just stay in the capital and don't worry us. By the way, if you want to drive a four-wheeled car yourself, you need to go through the assessment of the car factory and obtain a certificate called a driver's license before you can drive. Otherwise, if you do things like you, it may not be as simple as a mess and will cause death." Chu Yun thought of the management of four-wheeled car.

Making four-wheeled cars also faces a lot of troubles. It also has to provide basic measures for four-wheeled cars - better road surfaces, and corresponding management measures, namely, formulating traffic rules and implementing driver license management. At present, only the automobile manufacturers are assessing drivers. Because only the engineers who personally designed and manufactured cars, the automobile manufacturers understand how to operate and maintain four-wheeled cars.

"I will try my best to get the driving certificate!" Princess Sofia couldn't wait to use a magical means of transportation like a four-wheeled car.

Chu Yun took everyone around the streets, bought a stack of red paper, and prepared to write Spring Festival couplets himself.

However, Chu Yun's calligraphy was too bad, so he could not let the twisted characters stick on the pillars of the military master's mansion, so he had to let a few women do it for him.

"I hope the next day will be a peaceful day..." The officers and soldiers outside were responsible for the battle, and Chu Yun still silently farmed in the local area.
