Valley Emperor

In the public carriage lines of many cities in Datang, some public carriage companies will also build super-large six-horse carriages to transport more passengers in a single trip, and it is difficult for passengers to travel by car.

If you have money, you can rent a super-large public carriage from the carriage company, and then sit on it alone and enjoy the feeling of the emperor driving six.

It's just that this kind of behavior is very humiliating and disrespectful in the eyes of contemporary Datang people. If you really do it, the officials are too lazy to trouble you, but it will be difficult for you to get along in the future.

It is very difficult for a Datang person who has lost his dignity to get along in the contemporary Datang society.

In recent decades, with the improvement of national strength, the improvement of people's living standards, and more importantly, the great increase in national self-confidence brought about by the hanging of the world, Datang people began to pay attention to some things that they would not pay attention to in the past.

Especially in terms of etiquette, it has reached an almost morbid level.

When any ordinary person goes out, he will put on a set of professional clothes or robes, comb his hair clean and tidy, and bring a walking stick or a folding fan.

Because these years, scholars and scholars have been advocating that dressing neatly is not only for yourself, but also to show respect for others.

If you wear sloppy clothes to visit friends, at some point in the past, you may say that you have a gentleman's style and are informal.

But now, people will think you are humiliating him!

How should I put it, nowadays the whole society of the Tang Dynasty is talking about the word decent, and to put it bluntly, it means that you are full!

I used to be hungry every day, but now that I can eat enough, I start to want some other messy things.

Drink enough food and think about anything!

This carriage, in the past two decades, has also been a symbol of 'decency' in the Tang society.

Whether or not one can own a private carriage, and what kind of private carriage can be owned, is almost the most direct criterion for judging a person's social status. Ordinary people naturally don't expect to own a private carriage. Most of them are even reluctant to ride a public carriage every day. , because the price of public carriages or public trains is not too expensive, but it is often unaffordable to do so.

The ordinary middle class can only rely on public carriages or public trains for daily travel. Of course, they can also take rental carriages when necessary.

However, even a middle-class family with a relatively high income is difficult to own a private carriage.

And willingness is not because the carriage itself is expensive. In fact, carriages are expensive and cheap. Except for the high-end carriages that are specially designed for the middle class and the rich, ordinary carriages actually don’t cost much, and they are nothing more than a wooden frame and two wheels. A large number of rudimentary carriages of various kinds in the vast rural area.

But a decent gentleman would never take those rudimentary carriages. They would rather take a public carriage or take a taxi, which is really not good, and walking is better than this!

Generally speaking, in the Tang Dynasty, a decent two-wheeled carriage would cost at least hundreds of Tang Yuan. But it's not enough to have a car, you still have to have a horse, and you have to hire a special coachman to take care of the groom.

Not to mention the price of buying this horse is not cheap, it is also expensive to eat.

The salary of the coachman and groom is not low.

All these things add up, and the cost of a year can be huge.

In addition, there is a very key point that you must have stables to raise horses. This alone is an unsolvable problem for people who do not have independent manors.

In contrast, it is much more difficult to own a horse-drawn carriage these days than to buy a BMW Mercedes-Benz in the future.

This is why in today's Datang society, it is difficult for the middle class to own a private carriage.

Generally only the rich can own a private carriage.

In the contemporary Tang society, it is actually very simple to judge whether a family is a real upper-class gentry family.

First of all, look at where he lives. Generally, gentry families don't live in the real city center or business district. They usually live in some secluded areas, or simply the suburbs. A standard upper-class family usually has a spare mansion in the urban area. Well, this is used as a hotel. Generally, it does not live. It is only when they go to the city to do business.

They usually live in the suburbs or their hometown in the countryside further afield.

Because they don't want to die...

Many cities in Datang, especially the more developed cities, have more serious smog. This smog problem has attracted the attention of all walks of life in Datang. Many local cities have already begun to solve environmental problems, such as the migration of seriously polluted ones. Factory, reduce the consumption of briquettes by residents, but it doesn't work!

Datang's entire industrial system, but also a social system, was built on steam engines and coal.

Countless coals consumed every day support the operation of countless factories in Datang. Countless residents, especially urban residents, can make fires to cook and boil water, and it is impossible to prevent or reduce the use of coal.

As for reducing pollution through technical means, and at the same time not increasing costs significantly, you are too high on Datang's science and technology.

Because of the increasingly serious environmental pollution problems in cities, coupled with the traditional Chinese squires living in the countryside, the daily residences of the rich are usually in the suburbs or their hometowns in the countryside. Of course, they are all big mansions, magnificent very.

In addition to suburban mansions and urban residences, houses for vacations are usually purchased in other places, especially in places with good scenery.

The rich are like this, and the middle class will live in the suburbs as much as possible, and they will also travel with their families during the holidays.

As for those who live in the city all year round, they are the middle and lower classes of society, because they cannot escape the city.

During the decades of development of the carriage, the changes in the entire society of Datang can be seen in many aspects~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The current car is also a specific symbol of the changes in the overall society of Datang, because to some extent After all, the car is just an upgraded version of the carriage.

In this process of change, some people are afraid, some people are afraid, some people are happy, and some people are looking forward to it.

And Hanyang Mansion, the largest in Hanyang Mansion, is also the only technology patent in the Tang Empire that owns two-wheeled pedal bicycles. After launching pedal bicycles five years ago, it has completely led the trend of the entire middle-class young people's 'Lee's Bicycle Company' Inside.

A young man's eyes lit up after seeing the description of the car in the newspaper!

"That's it, that's it, that's what my tandem bike needs!"

"The steam engine is too bulky and the gas engine is unsafe. Only this gasoline engine is the only solution!"
