"Mohou, you must help me!" Soon after Su Dingfang received the order, he went directly to the right guard valley to block Merton for help.

"What are these words, just teach me Merton, Brother Su is now the vanguard of the Western Expedition, and it is the top priority, as long as the younger brother can do it, just open your mouth." Merton said boldly.

"Brother Mo, for my brother, I want Brother Mo to support a batch of four-wheeled carriages." Su Dingfang said embarrassedly, the most important thing to transport grain is the carriage, but the Mo family is a manufacturer of four-wheeled carriages, who has more carriages in Chang'an City, Su Dingfang was the first to think of coming to Moton.

Merton said boldly: "What's so hard about this? Since Brother Su spoke, the younger brother naturally supported it strongly. In order to support Brother Su's Mojia Village, 300 four-wheeled carriages were dispatched for Brother Su to drive, how about it? ”

For an ordinary person, a four-wheeled carriage is the foundation of a family's livelihood, and for Mojia Village, the four-wheeled carriage is just a business in Mojia Village, and it is not too difficult.

Su Dingfang wanted to speak and stopped: "I'm afraid three hundred carriages are a drop in the bucket!" According to Dai Shangshu's estimates, at least 1,500 carriages are needed. ”

Merton looked at Su Dingfang with a strange look and said, "Brother Su doesn't want to directly recruit 1,500 carriages and send them to Lanzhou at one time, right?" ”

Su Dingfang was puzzled: "Exactly? Otherwise, how can it be enough for an army of 200,000? ”

Merton suddenly slapped his forehead, sighed and said, "I don't know if Brother Su has heard of the express passenger service from Chang'an City to Luoyang in Mojia Village. ”

Su Dingfang raised his voice and said, "Brother Mo, this is looking down on being a brother!" Luoyang to Chang'an City 800 miles, Mojia Village's express carriage arrives in the morning and evening, this is the fastest carriage in Chang'an City, no one in Chang'an City knows. ”

Su Dingfang is not exaggerating at all, the night of the Lantern Festival suddenly made the express carriage of Mojia Village famous, and now the express carriage business from Luoyang to Chang'an City can be said to be an instant hit, and the business is prosperous.

Morton showed a hint of pride and said: "Brother Su doesn't know, not only can the passenger transport of Mojia Village reach Chang'an City in one day, but even the freight of Mojia Village will arrive in Luoyang City in two days, carrying 5,000 catties and traveling an average of 400 miles a day. ”

Su Dingfang thought for a moment and said: "What Brother Mo means is that this time to escort military rations, just like Mojia Village, change people, horses, not cars!" ”

Thinking of this, Su Dingfang's eyes couldn't help but light up, if the escort of military rations could be like the freight in Mojia Village, wouldn't it be a great speed, and it would be possible to arrive in Lanzhou in three or five days, so that he would definitely be able to show his face in front of the emperor.

"No, the little brother thinks that Brother Su can even change the car!" Merton shook his head.

"Please also teach me Brother Mo!" Su Dingfang respectfully asked.

Morton picked up a branch, drew a long and zigzag line on the ground, drew three circles in the middle of the line, and wrote three place names: "Brother Su, please see, from Chang'an to Lanzhou, passing through Dingxi, Tianshui, and Chencang." If Brother Su takes the three cities as a transit, he will definitely be able to greatly speed up the speed of grain transportation without wasting people's power. ”

Su Dingfang looked at the three cities and couldn't help but think in his heart.

Merton nodded and said: "If an ordinary person is allowed to go thousands of miles to escort grain and grass, I am afraid that the people will be dissatisfied, and if the people of Chang'an City are only transported to Chencang, I am afraid they will be happy to go." ”

Su Dingfang nodded and said, Chen Cang is only more than three hundred miles away from Chang'an, and he can return in two days, so there is naturally not much obstacle to recruiting people, and Merton continued: "With the carriage of Chang'an City alone, it can be said that it is easy to recruit 1,500 four-wheeled wagons. And it won't affect people's livelihoods. As for Chencang to Tianshui and then to Dingxi, it is naturally easy to requisition a hundred four-wheeled trucks from each city, and Mojia Village can support Brother Su with 300 four-wheeled trains. In this way, there is no need to let the people travel thousands of miles, and there is no need to make a big move, and Brother Su can also complete the task of transporting grain as quickly as possible. ”

"Two hundred carriages per city! Isn't that too little to transport much food? Su Dingfang asked uncertainly, although the speed was faster,

Merton's thought moved, and he said, "If you want to be fast, junior brother has a way to ensure that you can increase your speed by another three points."

"Can it be improved?" Su Dingfang couldn't help but look at Merton suspiciously, being able to travel 1,500 miles in five days was already an incredible speed, and in Merton's eyes, it was not the limit.

Merton nodded affirmatively and said: "Since ancient times, it is common knowledge that the sun rises and the sun sets, and when night falls, the road is empty, I wonder if the general can think of transporting food day and night." ”

"Day and night!" Su Dingfang suddenly raised his head and looked at Merton incredulously.

Merton nodded affirmatively: "People in the world don't want to drive at night, first, they are afraid of bandits and robbers, and it is not safe. The second is that all cities have a curfew, and there is nowhere to stay, and the third is that the long journey is too tiring. However, this is not a difficult thing for Brother Su! ”

Su Dingfang laughed and said: "There are escorts for the grain and grass this time, and in the territory of Datang, there must be no one who dares to fight military rations without opening their eyes." ”

Merton nodded, as for the curfew, with the warrant of the military, the curfew naturally does not control the heads of the soldiers. The others are just recruiting more migrant workers, and the night road is just a little oil lamp and a little slower, and the speed of the four-wheeled truck is not fast anyway.

If the military rations can be escorted day and night, as long as there are enough people and horses, it can be guaranteed that the first batch of military rations will be delivered in three days from Chang'an City to Lanzhou.

"Three days." Su Dingfang couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, if he could really do it, I am afraid that he would be able to show his face in front of Li Shimin immediately.

It was only three days before the empty car that would be used as a priest to go from Lanzhou to Chang'an City. And he is fully loaded with military rations, which can also be reached in three days.

Su Dingfang laughed and said: "There is no vanity under the fame, Brother Mo's name is indeed worthy of his reputation, and the problem that is very difficult in the eyes of ordinary people can be solved in the hands of Brother Mo!" ”

Mo Dun smiled, revealing his trademark shy smile and said: "Brother Mo looks down on the younger brother, the brick road is repaired, and the fast transportation business of Mojia Village may also extend from Chang'an City to Longyou, this is just the plan of Mojia Village. ”

Su Dingfang glanced at Merton deeply, Merton really knows how to be a person, even if he helps people, it will not embarrass people, and people can't refuse.
