Li Yunxiang didn't bring a driver, instead, he drove his own sedan.
Twenty years ago, owning a sedan was something beyond imagination. Even within the Empire, only a very few wealthy individuals could afford and maintain a sedan, and most vehicles belonged to government agencies for official use. Even the Imperial Chief Minister often had to walk when going out.
Now, sedans had begun to be promoted and popularized among the public.
Although they were not exactly cheap and had not yet reached the point where every household owned one, in cities, especially large ones, most families could afford one. Even a worker, by taking on extra jobs and saving diligently for a few years, could buy a low-end brand sedan without much trouble.
It must be said that all of this was thanks to the assembly line.
