Of course, this is only on theoretical calculations on paper.

In ancient times, there was no wire rope, and it was difficult to pass the steel components, and the crane made of wood and rope, Xu Qilin had to conservatively design it on lifting five or six hundred pounds of heavy objects.

Five stone grain is 600 catties, and the vehicle transportation at that time was about this load capacity. This gave Xu Qilin inspiration - container transportation.

It is troublesome to carry bags and bags around, and some wooden boxes with the same regulations are made, and a box of five stone grains is transported to the cliff just as a car.

If a crane is also installed on the wharf, the grain does not need to be transported to the shore by stepping on the gangplank, and it is convenient to lift and transport one box at a time.

Stationary, movable with wheels, and floating cranes on ships. Well, it's not that difficult to make, but it can save a lot of manpower. If it is rolled out, the benefits will be even greater.

Apply for a patent, that's for sure. But don't hold it in your hands and wait to make money, just contribute to Datang's cause.

Xu Qilin smiled, feeling that he was really too noble.

"Aaron." Wu Xiang knocked on the door and entered, and said with a smile, "The wild things are roasted, Ah Lang is not going, everyone is embarrassed to eat." ”

Xu Qilin nodded, packed up the papers, and got up to go out with Wu Xiang.

There are many animals along the Yellow River, and when surveying in the mountains and forests, Wu Siong and the accompanying guards were idle, so they used bows and arrows to hunt around.

Impala and yellow sheep are big prey, and there is no need to talk about birds. In this remote place, food supplies were procured, but meat and vegetables were not.

Xu Qilin also specially ordered to send some to the boatmen waiting for them, so that the poor boatmen could also make sacrifices.

Speaking of the poverty of the shipwrights, Xu Qilin was really shocked. In his mind, when boating on water, there should always be fish, right? The Yellow River carp is so famous! After fishing it up and eating it, throw the bones away, and the old Li family can't care about it!

In reality, however, the opportunities for boatmen and porters to eat fish are very rare. Even if it is food, being able to eat enough makes them very satisfied.

After a tiring day, they sometimes drink a little wine. But what is the appetizer, it is fried pebbles with oil and salt.

Of course, the stone can't be bitten, and the boatman is the smell of the stone. If you don't have a taste, you can change another one, and if the taste is heavy, you can have another sip of wine.

Why is it so poor, it is not the conscription and labor of feudal society. Caoyun levies and sends strong men along the river to serve, which is the practice of all dynasties. This saves the state finances, but it also makes the boatmen less motivated, and it is a lasting and arduous burden for the people along the river.

No money is given to the employer, or only a small amount of money is given. Not only did the people along the river suffer, but also the migrant workers in the south of the Yangtze River complained about this heavy labor.

Therefore, changing the economy to hiring and recruiting is also a major goal that Xu Qilin wants to achieve in reforming Cao Zheng.

As long as the wear and tear are reduced and the freight is reduced, even if it is not all hired, it is a good thing to increase the money for the foot work.

"Xu Cheng."

"Xu Cheng."

When everyone saw Xu Qilin coming, they all got up from the fire and greeted him.

"No need to be polite, sit down!" Xu Qilin waved his hand, found a place to sit down very casually, sniffled, and said with a smile, "It's so fragrant, everyone eats it while it's hot, don't be restrained." ”

Then, he turned his head to Wu Xiang and the others and said, "After days of hard work, the survey work has been completed. Tonight, just relax and bring up the wine. ”

Wu Xiang was happy in his heart, Xu Qilin didn't open the ban in the past few days, and he could only endure it. Now he's ready to drink.

A few jars of wine and a few bowls were put on the table, and everyone gradually let go, laughing and chatting while eating and drinking.

At this time, the two boat bosses brought in a pot of fish soup, which was regarded as a tribute to the barbecue of wild animals.

After Xu Qilin thanked them, he asked them to take away a jar of wine and go back to drink. He also reminded them that the wine is strong and should be drunk with care.

"At Xu Cheng's age, even if the reform of Cao Zheng is not adopted by the imperial court, this trek is a great achievement." An official half a bowl of wine was in his stomach, his face turned red, and he said with the smell of wine.

"Yes, a young man of this age, who is as talented as Xu Cheng and can endure hardships." A craftsman chimed in: "In the past few days alone, the mountain road has gone back and forth several times, and even so-and-so's feet have blistered!" ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Blisters on your feet, it's because your shoes are not good." A certain shoe is carefully made by the skilled workers of Dayingku, and the style is different from yours. ”

Wu Xiang swallowed a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Ah Lang's shoes are divided into left and right feet, and there are eyes on them, and they can be tied with straps." I haven't worn it, but it looks very close. ”

Several people turned their eyes to Xu Qilin's feet, and it was not the first time they had seen it, but they still felt weird.

Xu Qilin said with a smile, "This style of shoes will be sold in the future, and the patterns and practices will also be circulated, so can my family make them." ”

As he spoke, he raised his bowl and motioned to everyone, "Everyone has worked hard, I would like to give you a drink." ”

"Drink to win!"

"Drink to win!"

Everyone returned the salute with a sip of wine, which was hot and spicy, but the mood was even more excited.

Everyone understands that if the reform of Cao Zheng succeeds, the greatest credit is, of course, Xu Qilin's. But they are naturally famous in the merit book.

At that time, not to mention the promotion of official positions, the institution of Dayingku will definitely be upgraded and expanded. Then the power in their hands will also increase, and their careers will be brighter.

If there is no such opportunity, just a small official like them, can they have a chance to perform and be promoted in the Year of the Monkey?

Let's just say that the current top boss Xu Qilin, from the white body to the fifth grade, and the title of baron, how long did it take?

Yes, he has a good sister, and it is said that she is very favored in the palace. But people also have real skills, not long after the establishment of Dayingku, various industries have been established, and the prospects are considerable.

Everyone understands the truth that a rising tide lifts all boats, and it is very promising to follow Xu Cheng well. From the perspective of time, it is also a long-term plan!

How young people are, if nothing happens, it is easy to serve two generations of emperors, and three generations of old ministers are not fantasies!

Listening to other people's compliments, Xu Qilin was also proud in his heart. Who doesn't like to listen to good words, human nature! Of course, he also knows the truth that the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and this Caozheng reform not only allows his subordinates to get benefits, but even Li Sipang in Luoyang, as well as Helan Chushi, must also be rewarded!

Full of wine and meat, Xu Qilin found an excuse and went back to rest first. If they weren't there, they would have been more cheerful and relaxed.

Although the residence is simple, it is still a single room, which is also the treatment of the top leader. After Xu Qilin came back, he did not rest immediately, but continued to write the report.

Starting from Chang'an, Xu Qilin wrote about what he saw and felt along the way. It's not so much a recital as a detailed narrative.

Xu Qilin has his own ideas, the more detailed he writes, the more he doesn't need to pay too much attention to the style, but the more he seems to be careful and serious.

Short and concise, and the prose is beautiful, presumably His Majesty Li Er has seen a lot, and he also has aesthetic fatigue. Look at ours, it's like being there, like a travelogue, it will definitely be refreshing!

………………

The autumn winds are cooler again, and the news has spread in Chang'an City. His Majesty Li Er has already left Jiucheng Palace and is on his way back.

As usual, we must clean up and strengthen law and order, so as not to make Your Majesty feel in a bad mood when he returns.

Li Chengqian pretended to be more and more conscientious and fulfilled his responsibilities as the prince of the country. The nonsense in the East Palace has also been restrained a lot.

To say that this Li Chengqian, although absurd and tyrannical, he knows how to disguise very well.

In front of his ministers, he always talked about "loyalty and filial piety", and when he talked about emotion, he would shed a few tears. But when he returned to the East Palace, he was with a group of villains.

If there were officials in the Eastern Palace who wanted to advise, Li Chengqian often guessed the meaning of the words first, and when they met, they were very respectful, and their faces were solemn and they blamed themselves, but there were a lot of quibbles in their words.

As a result, the ministers who gave advice were usually busy answering the prayers, and the original advice was often abandoned halfway.

Because of this, few people outside know the secrets inside the East Palace and Li Chengqian's absurdity, and there are many words of praise for this prince.

In fact, the more such people are, the more terrible they are. One set in front of people, one set behind the back, the most insidious and cunning, unguardable.

But Li Chengqian's behavior is all clever, at least Xu Qilin thinks so. With his little trick, can he hide it from his ministers, and can he hide it from His Majesty Li Er? It's ridiculous.

Not only is it ridiculous to deceive himself, Li Chengqian was also kicked in the head by a donkey, and he trusted Qin Ying, a Taoist priest of Xihua Temple, Wei Lingfu, a Taoist priest of Shengguan, and Zhu Qilai, a Taoist priest of Huilai. That is, the history books contain the coercion of the magic to invite glory, the Taoist instrument in Zhu Er, and the thin interpretation of the chapter Jiao edict in the East Palace.

It is well known that witchcraft and the art of aversion to victory were taboo in ancient times, especially for the royal family. The witchcraft of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty caused the crown prince Liu Ju and the empress Wei Zifu to commit suicide, and hundreds of thousands of people were implicated, which is enough to prove it.

And getting close to Fang Shu Zuo Dao, even if he doesn't practice witchcraft and disgust with victory, it is still a matter of smearing on himself, and it is not easy to distinguish and explain.

It can be said that Li Chengqian has taken another step forward on the road to death.

But as long as Li Chengqian has an understanding person by his side, he will not let him die in such a trick. It's a pity that no one advises, and perhaps no one can persuade the rebellious young man Li Chengqian.

That's right, they are all in their twenties, they have a wife, a son, and you still talk about rebellion, it's really not very convincing!

For these things about the dogskin being upside down, Xu Qilin can't manage it, and he doesn't want to care about it. At this time, he had already arrived in Luoyang by boat, and was drinking and chatting with Li Sipang, a young man of literature and art.

A group of officials from the Great Surplus Treasury also attended the banquet, which was called the Receiving Wind, including Helan Chushi. Seeing Xu Qilin and Li Sipang talking and laughing, he was both envious and jealous.

Look at the face of the family, as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, there was a prince banquet to catch the wind. I have been busy in Luoyang for a long time, but Li Sipang can't see it.

Well, maybe because he is an old man in the East Palace, Li Sipang doesn't want to see him. Maybe it's because of his humble position, and people don't look at it.

But what about Xu Qilin, a five-grade official, a man from Changcheng County, who is 108,000 miles away from the prince, why is he so valued?

Looking at the expressions and tones of the two talking and chatting, they are so close and familiar. Could it be that these two people are like this in Chang'an? However, the topics they talked about seemed to be business!

That's right, Xu Qilin is telling Li Sipang about his survey and the project to be carried out. Although approval is still needed, Xu believes that approval is very likely.

"Your Highness, please see, this is the road map from Luoyang to Chang'an." Xu Qilin handed over a drawing, "which marked the location of the warehouse and the land route to bypass the danger of the pillar." ”

Li Sipang took the drawings, looked at them carefully, and nodded his head from time to time. After reading the drawing, he looked up and said, "This drawing is carefully marked, and it can be said to be clear at a glance." Xu Cheng also explained just now, and he felt that the reform of Cao Zheng was imperative, and the section from Luo to Jingshi was the most important. Just wait for the court to act, and Lone here will do his best to help, and never slack off. ”

Xu Qilin arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan thanked His Royal Highness King Wei first." ”

After a pause, he continued, "The reform of Cao Zheng is very important, and the lower officials dare to ask His Royal Highness, as well as Vice President Helan, to jointly play a concert, so that the imperial court can make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Li Sipang groaned for a while, and understood that Xu Qilin was going to "scatter power", which means the same as "scattering wealth", so that everyone can get benefits.

Luoyang is the largest transit station in the world, and he is the governor of Luozhou and the pastor of Luoyang, and the reform of Caozheng is inseparable from his support. And after success, his credit is not small.

It seems that it was because he listened to Xu Qilin's guidance and left Chang'an that he began to support and help in substance, and was ready to brush up on his political achievements.

If this were not the case, Xu Qilin would definitely stay away, gradually alienate himself, and would not help him.

Thinking of this, Li Sipang sighed with some emotion, smiled at Xu Qilin's chin, and said, "It is not only for the benefit of the country and the people, but also for the sake of the people, and it is my responsibility to do it." ”

Seeing Li Sipang and Xu Qilin casting their eyes over, Helan Chushi was a little flattered, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It is the luck of the lower officials to be able to play jointly with the prince and Xu Cheng, how dare you disobey?" ”

Xu Qilin smiled faintly and said, "The Luoyang branch was built quickly and well, and Deputy Helan is really hard. Luoyang has convenient transportation, and the future operation of Dayingku may be based on the branch, and you are indispensable! ”

"Where, where." Helan Chushi said modestly: "The lower officials have just done their duty, and they are all the work of Xu Cheng's planning." Oh, and His Highness has opened the door widely......"

Li Sipang laughed and said, "The fact that Dayingku can set up a branch in Luoyang is extremely beneficial to the development of the local area, and it is also a support for the lonely king. With the little help of his hands, the lonely king felt that it was very meager. Well, let's look at the future, as Helan Deputy Cheng said, he will do his best to help Dayingku. ”

Xu Qilin thanked him, but he was sincere. Although it is a win-win situation, with the help of Li Sipang, many things will be solved, and he can enter the fast lane of development and growth as soon as possible.
