Dong Zhuang suspiciously followed his son through the ordinary gatehouse in the front yard of his house, and before he reached the martial arts training ground where he usually practiced martial arts, he saw a strange behemoth standing there from afar. It was a big guy who said that the house was not a house, and that the car was not a car, and there were Wang Ping's henchmen among the five or six county soldiers standing around, all of whom were amazed.

Dong Zhuang glanced at his son strangely, and seeing the determined look on his son's face, he strode up to the big guy and looked at it carefully.

This big guy is two feet long, nearly one foot and five feet wide, and one foot and five feet high, and it is indeed a real behemoth. From the outside, the whole body looks like it is made of wood, and the joints of the boards are tightly filled with wax and tung oil. If Dong Zhuang stood upstairs and looked down, he would find that it was a large bathtub. Dong Zhuang knocked on the side panel, making a dull sound of "dong dong", which sounded very thick.

"Tianxiang, you've only been back for a few days, where did you come from such a big guy?" Dong Zhuang asked suspiciously.

"Daddy, I just said, as soon as I heard the news of Xiangrui, I knew that my father was in trouble, so I quickly asked my classmates and friends to design this big guy. My father has been busy these days, and I have asked someone to do this all the time, but fortunately it is still in time. Daddy, please see, this is the fish box I designed with my classmates, and it was just completed today. Dong Tianxiang pointed to the bottom of the fish box, "Under the bottom of the fish box is a whole piece of iron plate with a finger thick. ”

Dong Zhuang looked down, and sure enough, under the bottom of the entire fish box was a jet-black iron plate, revealing a length of about three feet in front of the fish box. The front of the iron plate is slightly curved, like a curled page. A small five-finger square hole was carved in the middle of the exposed iron plate, on which wooden chairs were mounted, and there were wind shields on both sides.

"It's a sled, right?" Dong Zhuang pointed to the iron plate and asked.

"Daddy was right, it was the weighted sled. We've experimented with it, and this thing can run forty miles in the snow in an hour when it's filled with water and pulled by four horses. Dong Tianxiang nodded.

"An hour and forty miles is a very fast. So what is this round hole for? Dong Zhuang pointed to the round hole that had been chiseled.

"When the box is too fast, or downhill, the Guardian just puts this thing in the round hole." Dong Tianxiang pointed to a device that was curved like a well, with a long thick iron nail at the bottom of the device, and an iron plate the size of the sole of a foot on the top, which was connected to the entire iron plate with a movable thick iron rod, and the whole device could be held by hand to rotate half a circle around the thick iron rod.

"As long as you step on it, you can decide how fast or slow you can move forward according to the amount of force." Dong Tianxiang stepped on the iron plate, and the iron nail really pierced deep into the soil through the round hole.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Looking at his son's demonstration, Dong Zhuang's eyes flashed brightly.

"Xiang'er, your big car is only suitable for walking on a smooth and wide road, right? But the road is rough, and I am afraid that such a big guy will turn too

questions. Dong Zhuang saw the disadvantages of this big guy at a glance.

"Daddy is really wise, so Daddy has to report to the state, and let the state report to the court. Before Xiangrui set off, he had to order the states and counties along the way to repair the roads. Wherever auspicious rui goes, he will repair it. If the imperial court is fast enough, when we leave Yunzhou, all the narrow and bumpy places on this road must have been repaired. Even if it is not repaired, then we can shirk the responsibility, and when the time comes, which state and county does not repair the road, which state and county will be unlucky. Dong Tianxiang suggested again.

"Impossible Tianxiang, such a big thing as repairing the road, the boss will not agree." Dong Zhuang shook his head, "Luo Gang also said that the idea of preparing hot water on the side of the road at any time is much simpler than building a road. I don't even think it's possible. ”

"Dad, now Xiangrui is the biggest thing in the whole Dayan, as long as Dad reports this request to Jinshan, as for whether he can say that he can move the court, it is his business. What's more, just ensuring that the water does not freeze will not solve the problem, and if the road is too rough, Xiangrui will not be able to withstand the toss. Dong Tianxiang replied.

Dong Zhuang groaned slightly, feeling that what his son said was practical. If Huang Ling or Huang Jinshan disagree, then they can also push this task. After all, I took the task, and if you don't cooperate, I can't help it.

"Okay, my father will report to Huang Ling. The last question, this way is frozen, in case the water freezes, Xiangrui will still die, and the father will still be questioned for his sin. The idea of preparing hot water along the way must not be used, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been used to build roads, and the imperial court will definitely not agree, what should I do? Dong Zhuang still has doubts.

"Daddy, don't worry, I have opened a few dark grids made of iron at the bottom of this iron plate, and I can continue to add burning charcoal to it to ensure the warmth of the water. The fish box is big enough, we only need to fill half of it to completely fit the next auspicious. This way, the water will constantly shake and will not be able to freeze easily. I've tried, and half of the water is about 60 stones, which is very heavy, but four horses can drag it. Dong Tianxiang is sure of authenticity.

Hearing Dong Tianxiang say this, Dong Zhuang finally put his mind at ease.

"Tianxiang, it's really good, he deserves to be the youngest person in Yunzhou, and his brain is good." Wang Ping patted Dong Tianxiang's arm excitedly, "My lord, I'm not afraid of that thief this time." We will definitely be able to bring that stinky fish to the capital safely and securely this time. ”

"Wang Ping, silence! What do you dare to say? Dong Zhuang's eyes widened and he scolded sternly.

"What are you afraid of? They are all their own brothers. Wang Ping shrank his neck in fright, and muttered quietly in his mouth.

Dong Zhuang didn't care about this hun person, "We only have 500 county soldiers, and we have to stay at least 200 people at home." Relying on 300 people, I'm afraid there are not enough people. ”

"My lord, I'm afraid we don't have 300 of us." Luo Gang next to Wang Ping frowned

said, "This time is a few months, the brothers' military salary has long been deducted by Huang Fatzi, and now it is half a tael of variegated silver, and you can still do some short-term work at home to subsidize the family. ”

"Yes, if there is no ten taels of silver to press on the waist, no one dares to move, brothers." Another head Fang Jin said.

Soon, everyone sighed. Although it was a tolerance, everyone never expected that the Huang County Commander would allocate more money.

"I'll go and beg Huang County Commander again, after this matter is done, they will soar, and they won't care about this little money. As for the insufficient population, I have to ask Qinjia Village for help. Dong Zhuang looked at the north, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Brother Qin, where the hell are you? Is it dead or alive?

"Sister Wan'er, do you think he will come back?" Qin Qing looked in the direction of the entrance of the village stupidly, his dark and charming eyes, tears flashing.

A year has passed, and the yellow-haired girl in the past has grown into a slim girl. Recently, Qinjia Village has finally been able to eat a few bites of a full meal, and the little girl's figure has scurried like a jointed bamboo. The original slightly dark skin has also become much brighter and smoother. The breasts and buttocks are also raised high, and the scale is first seen, showing the youthful liveliness of the girl. The only thing that hasn't changed is the pair of black pearl-like eyes, the thin willow eyebrows, plus the small nose bridge and lips, which still look so sweet.

Chen Wan'er's green jade fingers fiddling with the abacus paused slightly, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Qing's infatuated eyes, "Qin Qing, believe him, he will definitely come back." ”

After speaking, he continued to dial the abacus, but the abacus was dialed more and more chaotically.

Chen Wan'er has not changed, the carving knife of the years seems to have forgotten her beautiful face, or she can't bear to leave any traces on her face. It's just that a beige cotton dress makes her look a lot more elegant, and she has lost a lot, and she doesn't apply a little powder on her face, and her weak temperament is still so pitiful.

After Qin Forget was taken away by Wei Nian, Chen Wan'er followed Yang Xuan to Qinjia Village, and regarded Qinjia Village as the base camp of her business. Chen Wan'er subsidized almost all of her earnings to Qinjia Village. Without her, Qinjia Village would not be as prosperous as it is today.

She has always believed that Qin Forget is still alive, and such a selfless dedication is definitely not to complete Qin Wang's unfinished career, but to hope that when Qin Forget comes back, she can give him a big gift Chen Wan'er is not like Huang Chuchu and Qin Qing who will easily express their feelings for Qin Wang, her love is silent and deep, but this love is no lighter than anyone else.

The two stopped talking, listening to the busy voices of the people outside, each thinking about their own thoughts.
