Early the next morning, the snow that had been falling for two days finally stopped.

A round of red sun rises into the sky, the faint light reflects the entire Guanzhong Plain, the mountains and rivers are covered in silver, and the mountain dance silver snake is extremely enchanting.

The snow on the road was a few inches thicker than yesterday, but it had begun to solidify under the cold wind, and passers-by stepped on it and made a creaking sound.

Xianyang City, as always, when the first hundred officials went to court, the four gates of Xianyang City were also slowly opened in the bell.

Because the snow inside and outside the city is too thick, so there are many fewer people in and out of the city in the past two days, especially the east gate where the traffic is busy in the past, the cars and horses are scarce in the past two days, and the cattle and horses are packed, and the carriages are almost not seen, even if the snow leading to the Weihe Bridge has been cleared by the lieutenant's office, but there is also a layer of ice on the cement road, whether pedestrians or cattle and horses walk on it carefully, and even most people also avoid the road, and would rather walk in the snow so as not to slip and fall.

"Driving~driving~~"

On the bank of the river, a group of people rode along the river and galloped in the snow, the horses' hooves trampling in the snow more than two feet deep, and the flying horses' hooves brought up the slush that was more than a foot high.

"Look, what kind of carriage is that, how can it run so fast in the snow!"

Above the tower of the East Gate, a group of soldiers were stunned as they watched the riders approaching and approached, and after a moment they saw that under the protection of this group of fierce knights, there were four more carriages galloping towards the snow like walking on the ground.

"Hey, it, what the hell are you doing at both ends?" A sharp-eyed soldier saw two wild beasts in front of one of the carriages.

"Wow, it's the flowers, come and see, it's the two flowers pulling the cart!" One of the soldiers was so excited that he almost fell off the castle tower.

"Sure enough, it's a panda, I saw it, Qinghehou was sitting in the car!" Bai Jiang raised the telescope in his hand in surprise and glanced at it, and his mouth was wide open enough to stuff a large duck egg.

"Driving~"

With one shout after another, a group of people got closer and closer, and at this time, not only the soldiers on the city tower could see clearly, but also the people who entered and exited the city gate, and they all immediately became in an uproar, and rushed to the city gate to tiptoe to watch.

"Hold the grass, the flowers can still pull the car, a certain is finally an eye-opener!"

"Nonsense, this is Qinghe Hou Okay, these two flowers are Qinghe Hou's fairy pets!"

"This car has no wheels?"

"It's nothing if you don't have a wheel, it must be Hou Ye who blessed the immortal arts!"

In the midst of the bustling noise, soon a group of people came to the city gate, at this time everyone has seen clearly, except for the horses ridden by the guards of the Marquis of Qinghe, the four strange-shaped carriages really did not have a wheel, and the carriage that the Marquis of Qinghe rode was actually pulled by two flowers, and there were two bamboo shoots hanging in front, running like flying on the snow in the swaying.

"Get out of the way, Qinghe Hou enters the city!"

The leader of the guards who rushed to the front showed his waist card and shouted loudly, the crowd of onlookers dispersed in an uproar, and the soldiers guarding the city gate also hurriedly used Changge to stop the melon-eating crowd who were still running out, vacating a wide passage, and four strange-shaped carriages rushed into the east gate under the escort of the guards, and crushed the messy snow along the flat and straight cement road and entered the city in an instant.

And this strange combination also suddenly set off a frenzy in the city, countless passers-by were surprised and their eyes fell to the ground, and many people couldn't close their mouths after Chen Xu's sleigh left for a long time.

The heavy snow in the past two days, coupled with the cold winter, there are very few official documents from all over the country, so the court has been suspended for the past two days.

The emperor is used to getting up early, and at this time he has already gotten up to exercise, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and is sitting in the Zichen Palace, eating steamed buns, drinking hot porridge, and reading the newspaper that has just been delivered.

"Report, Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qinghe is here in a wheelless flower car!" A chamberlain hurried to the outside of the temple gate with a surprised face.

"Wheelless flowers?" The emperor was holding the bun in a daze, and he couldn't figure out what the hell such a strange car was.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the car has no wheels, and the cart is pulled by two flowers, and it runs at a gallop, according to the Qianniu Weiyan who guards the palace gate, it flies across the square to the palace gate in the blink of an eye!" The waiter's excited speech trembled a little.

"Let's go, I'll take a look!" The First Emperor stood up and walked out with a bun, and a large group of Xuanwu guards in black clothes and black pants instantly appeared in all corners of the garden outside the gate, wrapping the emperor in the middle and going outside the palace gate.

At the gate of the palace, Chen Xu had already gotten out of the car, and instructed the accompanying guards to take out a few bamboo shoots from a bamboo basket hanging behind the sleigh and throw them to the two ends, and then walked to the palace gate to let the guards guarding the door go in to pass the emperor.

"Master Hou, you ...... What kind of car is this? Qianniuwei, who was guarding the door, was already familiar with Chen Xu, and he also knew that this Hou Ye had a gentle temper on weekdays, and a leader stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked cautiously after going around the sleigh car.

"This is called a sleigh car, which specializes in running on the snow, go and help me pass through Your Majesty, Benhou wants to enter the palace to see you!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Hou Ye, wait a minute, there is already a chamberlain who has entered the palace to report, and an order will come later!" The leader of Qianniuwei hurriedly said.

So Chen Xu could only stand in this icy and snowy place and wait, seven or eight minutes later, the palace people did not come out, but with a dense footsteps, a group of black-clothed Xuanwu guards in the palace gate rushed out.

"Your Majesty is out of the palace, everyone retreats!" With a loud roar from a Xuanwu guard, the Qianniu guards at the gate of the palace instantly dispersed on both sides, Chen Xuleng waved his hand, and a group of guards behind him also hurriedly retreated more than ten zhang, and respectfully knelt on one knee in the snow to greet him.

"Where is the young master, where is the wheelless flower car?" The Emperor strode out from behind a group of Xuanwu guards, wiping his mouth and asking loudly as he busied.

Chen Xu couldn't wait to salute with a smile, but the emperor couldn't wait to hold Chen Xu's hand and said, "I heard that Aiqing came in a wheelless flower car, where is the car?" ”

"Your Majesty, the car is just outside the palace gate!" Chen Xu turned around, a group of Xuanwu guards dispersed, and then the emperor saw a strange-style car parked in the snow, and two round giant pandas were sitting in the snow munching bamboo shoots.

"Aiqing is here in this car?" The Emperor walked two feet away from the sleigh to take a closer look.

The toboggan is simple, with two cocked skis underneath, a frame on top, two rows of seats in front and back, and a roof covered with sheepskin.

"Your Majesty, this car is called a sleigh car, there are no wheels, relying on the two skateboards below to walk on the ice and snow, can be pulled by cattle, horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock, on a whim, the minister used two flowers to pull and play......"

Chen Xu knew that today's sports car had aroused the emperor's interest, so he specially explained.

"Sure enough, it's a whimsical thing, I just heard about it and thought that the waiter was telling me, but I didn't expect it to be true, Aiqing can you show me how to pull the cart with this flower?" While the emperor was amazed, he was naturally unwilling to let go of the opportunity to see is believing.

"Obey the order!" Chen Xu shrugged, quickly sat down on the sleigh, and then ordered a few guards to snatch the bamboo shoots from the two rolling hands.

"Whew~~" The two ends ran for most of the hour, and the tired rolling was suddenly snatched away, and he suddenly lost his temper and stood up and called, Chen Xu put down the bamboo pole hanging with the bamboo shoots, and a bamboo shoot hung a foot away from the front of the two ends.

"Driving~" Chen Xu shook the reins lightly, and the two ends rolled forward to catch up with the bamboo shoots swaying in front of him, and the sleigh car was galloping in the open space in front of the palace gate.

"Qinghe Hou is really a god, and he can come up with such an incredible snowmobile, so that the ice and snow in the northwest can also drive goods to and fro!" A gray-haired chamberlain stood beside the emperor and exclaimed loudly.

"However, the young master has obtained three volumes of heavenly books, all of which are for the benefit of the country and the people, and with this car, the northwest lands will benefit greatly!" Qin Shi Huang nodded in surprise.

Chen Xu drove the panda sleigh around the clearing and soon stopped at the gate of the palace again, and several guards threw the bamboo shoots on the snow again, and the two heads also sat happily on the snow and began to enjoy the food.

"Your Majesty, this sleigh is the same as a horse-drawn carriage, and you can let the Ministry of Industry draw a picture album and spread it to the northwest and eastern Liaodong, so as to solve the problems of cargo traffic and personnel exchanges in the cold winter!" After Chen Xu got out of the car, he walked up to the emperor and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Aiqing and I have the same idea, this car is indeed a thing that benefits the country and the people, Aiqing entered the palace today just to show this sleigh?"

"This is one of them, the minister entered the palace today to meet His Majesty, and there is another matter?" Chen Xu nodded.

"It's cold outside, let's go to the palace and drink tea!" The emperor smiled and took Chen Xu's hand and returned to the palace.

A few minutes later, the two monarchs and ministers sat down in the Zichen Palace, and the palace maid served hot tea and retreated, and the emperor asked about Chen Xu's entry into the palace to meet him.

"Your Majesty, please look at this!" Chen Xu took out a copper screw from his pocket, unscrewed the nut and handed it to the emperor.

"Hey, this thing is so exquisitely made!"

The emperor took the screw and nut and observed it carefully, and then easily screwed the nut on the screw under Chen Xu's guidance, and immediately nodded with surprise on his face.

"This thing is called a bolt, it is an extremely useful riveting thing, it is a kind of equipment newly developed by the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences, and the application prospect is very wide, it can be used in various vehicles and utensils, with this thing, the Academy of Sciences can develop a variety of assembly simpler and more precise mechanical ......."

Chen Xu briefly explained the screw and nut.

For the emperor, he doesn't need to know the origin of something, he just needs to know that this thing is useful, and he won't care about the production process, so the emperor nodded slightly after listening to it, and played with the copper screw for a while before speaking: "Did you encounter some problems in the production of this thing?" ”

"Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, and now I have indeed encountered some difficulties, now my Daqin steel smelting has been very extensive, and the output of steel is much larger than copper, so the production of this screw and nut should have been made of steel, but to cut out such a fine thread on the steel, it needs a metal that is harder than steel as a cutting knife, and the minister has not found this hard material, so he has to use a steel knife to cut on the copper material, although the screw and nut made can also meet the application standards, However, copper is far less durable than steel, and it will not be in demand in the future, copper will not be in supply, and it may be taken down for private coinage, so it is not the best choice! ”

"What Aiqing said is reasonable, I also thought of it, it turned out that it was because steel is not easy to process!" Qin Shi Huang nodded lightly and looked at Chen Xu, "Then what Aiqing needs me to do, just ask, as long as Aiqing thinks it is useful, I can arrange for someone to find it!" ”

"With His Majesty supporting his ministers so much, why worry that Great Qin will not prosper!" Chen Xu was very grateful and slapped his ass, and then his face became slightly solemn and said, "If you want to cut steel, the minister thinks that there is only one kind now, it is a heaven-sent thing, this thing is called Xuantie!" ”

Qin Shi Huang paused slightly and nodded: "Yes, the hardest thing between heaven and earth is none other than Xuantie, which is rumored to be the residue of the heavenly immortal refining weapon abandoned to the world, so it is also called Divine Soldier Iron, which is actually the best material for building blades, since Aiqing seeks this thing, I will naturally not be stingy, now there are a few pieces in the Shaofu Treasury, the big one is nine catties and nine taels, and the small one is seven or eight taels, and the nine catties and nine taels of Xuantie are offered by a Yan State Fang Shi more than ten years ago, and I have also gathered craftsmen to try to create a Xuantie sword, But it couldn't be smelted successfully, and finally had to be put into the treasury Mengchen, since Aiqing is useful, I will let Zhao Wei take it and send it to Aiqing! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xu was overjoyed, stood up and respectfully gave the emperor a deep bow to express his gratitude.

The value of meteorite in this era is equivalent to the treasure of heaven and earth, and it is closely related to the gods, both in terms of attributes and preciousness, it is much higher than gold and silver jewelry, because gold and silver can still be refined, and jewelry can still be born, but this meteorite can only be obtained by luck and chance, and the meteorite landing, it will inevitably be followed by the arrival of heavenly fire and even thunderstorms, and the power of this god is not much better than the thunder and lightning.

Even in later generations, meteorite iron was worth more than gold, and a finger-sized one could sell for tens of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, before Chen Xu could officially speak, the emperor took out a few pieces of meteorite iron collected in the palace, and this kind of spirit is not something that ordinary emperors can have.

"Aiqing don't use Xie Zhen, but I should thank Aiqing, I actually have a few big pieces of this dark iron, but now it has been included in the Lishan Shou Palace, if Aiqing feels that it is not enough, I can arrange for someone to take it together."

"Ah, don't use it, don't use it, there is enough Xuantie in the Shaofu treasury at the moment, and later the minister can let the newspaper publish an advertisement in the newspaper to solicit Xuantie, and solicit purchases from the people of the world, how dare you use the treasures in His Majesty's mausoleum!" Chen Xu hurriedly waved his hand.

"Aiqing doesn't need to be like this, I have talked with Aiqing several times, and now I am slowly thinking about opening some, collecting the world's rare treasures, and building such a large-scale mausoleum underground palace, it is indeed a bit of labor and loss of money, and the country and the people are actually not beneficial, since ordinary people cannot live forever, what is the use of me repairing this mausoleum and underground palace, alas......" The first emperor looked a little sad.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to feel nostalgic, yin and yang alternately, the cycle of life and death, all things in heaven and earth have their own laws, and they can't be forced, even if they are immortals, there is still a catastrophe of life and death, and when the catastrophe comes, they are more frightened than ordinary people such as me, not to mention that life is in the world, when you seek a free and easy, seek benevolence, seek righteousness and righteousness, what Your Majesty asks for is that China will last forever, as long as Your Majesty is unfettered, let the people of Daqin live and work in peace and contentment, prosperity and prosperity, it will be forever recorded in history, and Your Majesty's name will last forever with Huaxia!"

"Aiqing is reasonable, ask for the matter of Xuantie, and tomorrow I will also issue an edict to buy it among the people, although Aiqing can rest assured!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Today's performance is not long, the emperor may have remembered some sad things, and did not pull Chen Xu to talk in detail for a long time as in the past, and soon instructed the chamberlain to inform Zhao Wei to take seven or eight pieces of black meteorite from the treasury of Shaofu and put them in a wooden box to send Chen Xu out of the palace.
