A huge convoy of more than 80 carriages approached Wuyang City, but the convoy seemed a little strange. Seeing this strange team, people expressed their opinions:
"This carriage is so big, can this horse pull it?"
"Look at the ruts on the ground. The cart is so heavy. How much stuff must it be pulling? Poor horse. It's so cruel not to cherish the horse."
"Stupid, you don't know, this carriage uses bearings. According to my neighbor's son, after their carriage business used bearings, the carriage became three to five times lighter. If a few more wheels were added, one horse could pull hundreds of tons of cargo."
"Really?" Everyone looked and saw that the horses did not show any signs of fatigue.
All of these carriages were pulled by two horses in parallel, and behind them was a carriage about ten feet long, six feet wide, and five feet high, with four wheels. Judging from the ruts on the ground, almost all of the carriages were fully loaded with goods.
There were more than eighty carriages in total, stretching for a mile. They slowly arrived outside the gate of Wuyang City, arousing countless curiosity.
Song Xing took the lead to dismount and wait quietly.
Soon a royal guard came out, "Your Majesty has ordered that all carriages enter the city immediately."
The guards walked in front, and Song Xing and others got off the carriage and led the horses behind them. Under the "protection and supervision" of more royal guards, the huge team directly entered the palace, and finally squeezed in and waited in the guard field - the place where the guards usually gathered for training.
His Majesty the Emperor strode forward accompanied by Fu Minghui.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Song Xing greeted quickly.
"Song Xing, tell me, how much stuff did Li Xian send me?" The emperor was very happy. Li Xian was very quick. Less than two months after "escaping" back to Anyang, he wrote back to him, saying that the first batch of textile machine items had been prepared. But he did not say the specific quantity, just said it was a surprise.
His Majesty the Emperor treated Li Xian's little prank as a joke; in this world of cultivation, there were not too many rules and regulations.
Song Xing presented a simple document and spoke fluently, "It's mainly bearings, spindles and sea soul silk. A total of 12,000 bearings and 6,000 spindles, and 100 kilometers of sea soul silk. In addition, there is the princess's gift, a total of 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 mirrors, 30 large crystal chandeliers, and 200 sets of stainless steel weapons and armor. There are also 20 tons of stainless steel ingots."
When the Emperor heard this, he was immediately delighted. "Okay, okay, haha. But speaking of which, the industrial standards of your Brilliant Star Trading Company are indeed very good."
It turns out that over the past two months, the industrial fire ignited by Li Xian has burned the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and the unified industrial standards promoted by Li Xian have gradually been accepted by everyone - everyone has seen the benefits of unified specifications.
Besides, the Brilliant Star Trading Company is the only one in the market, and it has been leading the market and the entire industry through the so-called "standard parts". Everyone has to follow Li Xian's footsteps. If you don't follow Li Xian's standards, you won't be able to use your bearings!
In addition, internally, the Brilliant Star Trading Company has officially been upgraded to a "group", but externally, everyone is still used to calling it a "company". These are all minor issues, don't worry about them.
