Chapter 1034: The Truth of Heroic Martial Arts (I)

Zhao Xing finally entered a carpentry shop, he ordered a thousand large wooden barrels and 5,000 crates in this carpentry shop, such a huge order made the carpentry shop a little overwhelmed, they only completed seventy percent of the order, after seeking Zhao Xing's tolerance, the shopkeeper promised to complete it in a few days.

When she returned to the inn, Cheng Azhu was too tired to walk, and at this time, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered to let Liu Xiaoer accompany her to move freely. But at this time, Cheng Azhu was too tired to speak.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, most women did not bind their feet, and small-footed women began to become law in the Southern Song Dynasty. Cheng Azhu is not a small foot, but she still feels tired after walking so many miles for the first time. However, she was a supple woman, and she still supported herself and accompanied Zhao Xing to dinner.

In the next few days, as soon as Cheng Azhu opened his eyes, Zhao Xing had run away without a shadow, and after a few days of this situation, Zhao Xing suddenly notified his entourage to prepare to return to Hangzhou.

When the team left Quanzhou, it was completely different from the low-key that entered Quanzhou City, and only then did it go out of the north gate, and a group of people brought a few big horses and three carriages. The entire team immediately transformed, resembling a bully in a fresh coat and angry horse.

People were bullies in ancient times, it was really a very happy thing, the Xiao brothers took the lead in opening the way, several students from Cheng Jiaao guarded both sides of the carriage, Jin Buer pressed at the end of the team, Cheng Shuang followed several brothers from the Jiangxia Cheng clan, Chen Buqun's son Chen Buqun followed behind Zhao Xing's carriage, this group of people walked, people saw people hiding, dogs saw dogs hiding, chickens did not dare to catch insects on the side of the road.

Zhao Xing is the coachman of the first carriage, he personally waved the whip, driving a Mutsu fat horse, the carriage walked very briskly, the body roared, and the spring light stopped and stopped, which made people feel a little sunny.

The shape of these three carriages is very strange, very much like the style of the Luo cart in the Qin Terracotta Army, but if you look closely, it is different from the Luo Chariot. The dome-like dome was removed and replaced with a square rattan trellis. On rainy days, a piece of cloth on the roof of the shed can play a role in sheltering from the rain; On a sunny day, a translucent brick yarn is built on the shed, which has a kind of fluttering chic. And this style is not arrogant, and the practice of rubbing the edge ball makes it even more exciting to drive.

The axles of the carriage were also replaced with long axles made of iron. The body is not wide and can seat only two people, which allows the axles to be made extremely thin and greatly reduce weight. The entire body is a monolithically cast bronze sheet, covered with leather and wood, reducing the weight of the body to the lowest level of productivity of the era.

The body is light, and the carriage is very light, and a horse can pull it and run fast. Zhao Xing remembered the demeanor of the emperor in the Warring States Period, and after learning to drive a carriage, he simply took the whip himself and drove the carriage. After walking a few steps, he only felt an itch in his throat, and wanted to raise his voice and sing a "Song of the Coachman", but considering that this song was too heterogeneous, he endured it and swallowed the song back with an itchy throat.

Cheng Azhu looked at Zhao Xing with envy waving his whip. When it comes to performance art, Zhao Xing is the most proficient in this era. The carriage was covered with bells, and it rattled as it walked.

Driving such a light car, walking on the street, it is like driving a BMW car with the horn, and the bell is to announce to people: I am coming! Several children were also very envious of the identity of the driver, they didn't dare to rob Zhao Xing, and the two carriages behind became the target of their competition.

A few days later, the children quickly mastered the skills of driving the carriage, they showed irresistible pride and happiness when driving, even Cheng Azhu couldn't help but envy, when entering Hangzhou, Zhao Xing was a little late, back to the carriage, has found that Cheng Azhu grabbed the driver's seat early.

Cheng Azhu is a shy girl, she almost didn't dare to express her thoughts in front of Zhao Xing, this time her rare boldness made Zhao Xing slightly stunned, and then, he pretended to ignore it and climbed into the carriage and sat in the passenger seat.

In ancient times, horses have always been a strategic resource, and at the same time, China has always been a hierarchical society, and the families who can use the carriage are all vested interests in the hierarchical society, and in order to maintain this kind of superiority and inferiority, their carriages are often very huge. The rider could not stand alongside them, so he had to be placed in front, which made the carriage longitudinal.

The light carriage made by Zhao Xing is very close to the "light carriage" driven by ancient scholars. In ancient times, scholars and doctors often drove such "light cars" alone to travel around the world, which gave birth to the splendid Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States culture.

Because of the narrow distance between the cars, this "light car" can basically only seat two people, and if it is a little fatter, it may only be able to seat one person. This is convenient for those who can't afford to make a long trip on their own. They only need to learn a little and go where they want to go. And the small suitcase in the back of the car can at least carry their belongings.

The reform of means of transportation has brought about an increase in the scope of human activities, and with it an increase in the amount of information exchange. Zhao Xing is about to travel far away, and this carriage is his gift to Cheng Azhu, and he hopes that Cheng Azhu will learn to drive the carriage, so that when he is not there and the other party is depressed, he can go to the place he wants to go alone.

In the Song Dynasty, it was unheard of for women to act as drivers. But driving a carriage is not a complicated problem, Zhao Xing often sees a little daughter-in-law in the countryside, and even a little girl of eight or nine years old can drive a carriage, and this kind of carriage is to facilitate the travel of the elderly, weak women and children. Therefore, with the connivance of Zhao Xing, the carriage quickly rang the bell all the way and drove into Hangzhou.

The place where Zhao Xing chose to settle now happens to be a desolate place. Cheng Azhu drove the carriage, but did not cause others to scold.

Now, the estate has been turned into a big construction site, full of lumberjacks, construction workers. They cut down towering trees, cleared a clearing, and cut down the impermeable woods. In just one winter, the site has been tidied up and several long rows of bungalows have been built.

The long row of bungalows will be used as a stable in the future and is now used as a worker's house.

At the foot of the hillside, many foundations have been dug and these foundations wind up the ridges of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain. Judging from the situation of the foundation, the house built by Zhao Xing is very large, covering an area of about several acres.

"This is where we will live in the future", Zhao Xing put his arm around Cheng Azhu's shoulders, standing on this foundation, and explained his plan to Azhu: "We will build a row of wharves along the river to prevent the tide of the Qiantang River from flooding this countryside." In the dock area, a row of warehouses was to be built. Later, the sea vessels will be unloaded directly at the pier.

There, we're going to build a water gate and lead a way. Separate the docklands from the residential area. Or, we will open the dock area to the outside world in the future, so that goods from the north and south can be transported outside from that road. And our goods enter and exit through that water gate, so that they are both hidden and unobtrusive.

This residential area is built on the mountainside, so condescending that you don't have to go out to see the movement of the dock area, and then we command the loading and unloading, and then we use a few small flags on the roof to complete it.

From Pratunam to the residence, there are about a few tilts...... Maybe there are more than ten tilts, this place will be a big garden, and when I collect all kinds of exotic flowers and plants for you from overseas, I will build this place into a Qiong Yuan of the world, and you can take a walk here when you have nothing to do. ”

Cheng Azhu trembled with excitement at the scene depicted by Zhao Xing, and several children around Zhao Xing were also conquered by this prospect. They looked at the bare land, at the broken wooden stakes, and in their minds, they did their best to sketch the most beautiful picture.

Zhao Xing beckoned Cheng Shuang, according to the plan, he would stay in Hangzhou, supervise the supervision of the manor, and protect Cheng Azhu. Zhao Xing pointed to the broken stumps and ordered: "Don't cut those stumps, some can be made into tables, or low stools, you can rest on them when you are tired of walking, but they are full of wild fun."

Don't throw away the stumps that have been cleaned up, and when they are dry, apply tung paint several times, and carve them all into tables, chairs and benches...... Those few vacant lands cannot be idle, and tea trees are planted temporarily. Don't plant tea trees in pieces, plant patterns in acres, I'll draw you a pattern when I turn around, and let these tea trees build a maze, leisure time, and it's also a place to play......"

After chatting with Cheng Shuang, Zhao Xing caught a glimpse of Chen Xu's son Chen Buqun, and he kindly instructed: "Your father asked you to travel overseas with me, so you can follow me all the way...... By the way, I've always wanted to know how your father's martial arts were? I often hear about his "hero" style, but unfortunately he can't fight when he is in Hangzhou. ”
