East Palace.

This time, no houses collapsed when I entered the door, and the snow that had been falling for almost a week finally stopped, revealing the sun for the first time in a long time, and sprinkling a trace of warmth on the earth.

"Your Highness, the household department has sent 30,000 taels of silver......"

"So fast?"

Yu Zhiqian looked at He Shen's round head, and inexplicably had some joy, the haze was swept away just now, and sure enough, everyone has their own corresponding responsibilities, such as Shen Wansan, this guy can't manage money without a cornucopia, but he can talk nonsense, Hu people's words, and He Shen can find out the financial loopholes of the East Palace, and recently caught two big rats in the East Palace, the biggest of which is procurement, and he actually embezzled fifty taels of silver, which is really hateful!

"Take the money first, Wansan, Zhang Zhan, Chen Qingzhi, take someone to go outside the city with me!"

"Whoa!"

Chang'an City has not found how serious the snow disaster is, out of Chang'an City, into the eye is a pale, from the edge of the sky to the foot, a white boundless, only a temporary clear road from the city gate to the distance.

The snow is a mega year, but the corresponding price is the disaster brought by the snow falling, and the ancient people's resistance to natural disasters is almost zero.

The fire cellar of the royal manor was not affected too much, and dozens of newly built fire cellars were in full swing, Yu Zhiqian looked at the firewood burning inside and patted his head, he almost forgot what he thought of this morning.

"Zhang Zhan, in the area around Chang'an City, is there a place called Xishan!"

"Nishiyama?"

"Your Highness, there is such a place, and our current location is Xishan!"

"This is the West Mountain?"

"Your Highness didn't know that there was originally a hill here, because it was located in the west of Chang'an, it was called Xishan, but later the hills and trees were cut down and the stones were mined, and this originally not high Xishan has become what it is today.

"Is there coal in the West Mountain?"

"Coal?"

Zhang Zhan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the coal in Yu Zhiqian's mouth was.

"Black stone, it can burn, you know?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhan shook his head: "Your Highness, the lower officials have never heard of it!" ”

"It shouldn't be, there is coal in the West Mountain in the Ming Dynasty, how can there be no coal?"

Yu Zhiqian looked up at the sky, could it be that it was all a lie, there was no coal in Xishan at all!

"Wait, something seems wrong!"

Yu Zhiqian suddenly realized that something was wrong, and thought about it carefully, the Ming Dynasty was a loser, a special Ming Dynasty, he was the Yu Tang Empire, according to the approximate timeline and story plot, it was now the Tang Dynasty!

The capital of the Ming Dynasty is Sijiu City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is Chang'an, there is coal in the west mountain of Sijiu City, and there is a fart coal in the West Mountain of the Tang Dynasty, which is more than a thousand kilometers apart!

"Damn! I'm a pig brain! Yu Zhiqian complained about himself......

"But Chang'an is not bad, it is relatively close to Shanxi, Shanxi is the king, Shanxi is rich in coal bosses!"

"Your Highness!"

Just when Yu Zhiqian was distracted, Zhang Zhan called Yu Zhiqian and pulled Yu Zhiqian back from his fantasy.

"What's wrong?"

"Just now, the craftsman said that the burned cement has been piled up in the warehouse, and if it is not used again, there will be no place to put the cement......"

Yu Zhiqian took a look, there are now a total of ten cement cellars, and although the output is not much every day, there are really a lot of piles up.

"Well, don't worry, it will be useful tomorrow, by the way, ask the craftsman, do you know where the black stone is produced!"

"Whoa!"

Soon a craftsman who was not tall was brought over, and after seeing Yu Zhiqian, he hurriedly saluted: "Grass people, grass people Zhao Si has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, ......"

The honest craftsman, after seeing Yu Zhiqian, was so excited that he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't think of anything suitable for a long time.

"Excuse me, you know there's black stone there?"

"Is it a pure black stone that Your Highness is talking about, and there will be black ...... stuck to your hands?"

"You've seen it?"

"Your Highness, this kind of stone is everywhere in the small hometown!"

"Where is your hometown?"

"Changwu!"

"How far is it from Chang'an?"

Zhao Si thought for a while: "The villain returns to his hometown, it takes five days to walk, if you are a fast horse, you should arrive in one day!" ”

"Well, if what you say is true, this palace has a lot of rewards!"

The approximate location of the coal has been, and the cement production is stable, Yu Zhiqian's heart has put down a trace of worry, the use of cement in winter The solidification period is longer than in summer, if the temperature is too low, it is not difficult to artificially create a greenhouse around, the only worry is the operation problem, there are no skilled masons!

When Yu Zhiqian returned to the East Palace, the people from the household department and the Ministry of Industry had already arrived, and after seeing Yu Zhiqian, they immediately surrounded him.

"Your Highness, I don't know when we can start work!"

"Tomorrow you can go to the East Palace, where is the disaster democracy going to be concentrated?"

"Mainly concentrated in Lantian County, Tong County, among which Tong County was seriously affected, more than half of the houses collapsed, and some victims froze to death last night......

"Then send people to Lantian and Tongxian County, and the rest of the disaster victims, the county government will shelter them, or find a large family to shelter them, and the money and food will be sent out of the household department, and at the same time the disaster victims will be organized, and they can't be idle, level the land, and prepare to build houses!"

"Your Highness, it's easy to organize the victims, but the roads are covered with snow, and it's difficult to deliver disaster relief materials, let alone the materials used to build houses!"

"Can't get it?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the thickest snow on the road to Tongxian has reached the waist of an adult, and it is difficult for people and horses to pass!"

"So serious!"

Yu Zhiqian realized the seriousness of the situation, the heavy snow closed the city, and if he wanted to transport the materials over, what should he do, hot air balloons? Forget it, it's too risky, and I haven't researched it myself, so it's definitely hard to figure it out in a short period of time.

"Skis? Sled? ”

Yu Zhiqian already had an idea in his mind.

Compared with the ancients, Yu Zhiqian found that he was not much smarter, but insight, the ancients had not seen some things, Yu Zhiqian knew that after encountering problems, Yu Zhiqian could quickly think of solutions, such as sleds, the ancients would definitely not think of it, and Yu Zhiqian could think of it with a little brain, the technical requirements of this thing are almost zero, and only wood is needed.

As for what to pull, dog sledding, horse-drawn sledding is no problem, Chang'an is not short of dogs, there is no shortage of horses, now the most in Chang'an City is the fine dog, this thing in the future hundreds of thousands, but now it is a wild dog, the homeless like to catch and kill to eat dog meat.

"The transportation problem can be solved, how many craftsmen are there in the Ministry of Industry, and now they will be transferred to the East Palace, bring wood, and build a sled!"

"Sledding?"

The people in the Ministry of Industry were stunned, not knowing what Yu Zhiqian was talking about.

"Gather people immediately, and whether you can start work tomorrow depends on the progress tonight!"

"Whoa!"

Yu Zhiqian rarely became serious, and soon all the craftsmen who were still in Chang'an City in the Ministry of Industry were concentrated in the East Palace, and Yu Zhiqian had already asked Zhu Youxiao to take the lead in creating a sled, well, Zhu Youxiao had not returned to the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and during this time in the East Palace, Zhu Youxiao had a very fulfilling life, and he lost more than ten pounds.

Seeing his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Youxiao had tears in his eyes and kept glaring at his colleagues, hoping that they could say a word to the Ministry of Industry and save themselves from the East Palace.

"This is the East Palace? It looks tattered on the outside, but it's so broken on the inside, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really thrifty! ”

A small official of the Ministry of Industry observed the East Palace, and couldn't help but sigh, there were rumors outside about how the prince lived, but in fact, after seeing it, this was ......

"Zhu Youxiao, explain to you how to use this sled!"

"Whoa!"

The principle of sledding is very simple, it is to reduce contact with the snow surface, reduce friction and ...... Well, that's all Yu Zhiqian knows, but the design can still be designed, that is, two curved planks are added under a wooden board, which is basically the board car removing the wheels and replacing it with a curved plank!

"Your Highness, is this possible?" Ministry officials were a little unconvinced.

"Get some dogs and try them in the snow and see if you can pull them!"

"Good!"

Soon, Chang'an City began to jump chickens and dogs, to be precise, chickens fly, dogs don't jump, stray dogs suffered, the soldiers of the East Palace went everywhere to catch dogs, and then they were concentrated.

"The rest of the people started to build sleds, and the matter was urgent, so everyone didn't have to stay up late today, and just stayed up all night to escort tomorrow's disaster relief!"

"Whoa!"

"Boom!"

The sudden loud noise startled many craftsmen, Yu Zhiqian glanced at the back, sighed, and another house fell today, there are more than 100 rooms in the East Palace, according to the collapse speed of one on this day, the East Palace will not last for the New Year......

"You don't have to panic, it's just that the house has collapsed, everyone continues to be busy, just don't run around, someone's room is relatively solid, don't worry too much about safety!"

"Whoa!"

The voices of a group of craftsmen dropped a little, and they were afraid that if they didn't pay attention to a word, another house in the East Palace would collapse.

At the gate of Chang'an City, several officials of the Ministry of Industry and a group of guards of the East Palace shivered in the cold wind, and one of the craftsmen took a deep breath: "I'll try it!" ”

"Good!"

A small official sat on a sled, and five or six stray dogs were controlled by the guards in front of him, and the little official took the rope that controlled the wild dogs, and waved his hand to signal the guards to disperse.

"Rack!"

The little official whipped hard, and after a group of wild dogs were in pain, they quickly ran forward.

"Damn, I'm running really fast!"

I saw the sleigh rushing out like an arrow from the string, and there was no obstacle to gliding on the snow.

"It's work, it's work, the sleigh invented by His Highness really works!"

The little official's roar could be heard from afar.

"Your Highness is really talented, you can think of this kind of thought!"

"With the sled, not only can we solve the problem of disaster relief, but also solve the problem of transportation in winter in the future!"

"yes!"

When a group of people were discussing with each other, they faintly heard someone shouting in the distance, but the wind and snow were too strong to hear clearly.

"The ...... Die...... This...... Sled...... How...... Stopped...... Ah, quick...... Stop ......"

In the wind and snow, after chatting with several officials of the Ministry of Works, they didn't see the guy who left on the sled, and they were a little curious: "Why hasn't Zhang San come back yet!" ”

"Nothing will happen!"

"Maybe it's a little far, I want to try the sled's function accurately!"

At this time, Chen Qingzhi frowned beside him and thought for a while and slowly spoke: "Will he brake?" ”

"Damn it!"
