Chapter 34: Sending God

This night, Liu Ji enjoyed the blessings of all the people, not enough for outsiders, drink and enjoy, the next day was a little late, when he explained everything, leaving Zhang Lianqiao and others to watch the house, he took the old steward and the servants in the house, and the sergeants under his command all the way to the Fengfu to pick up people, what he saw was an unusually crowded picture.

There is a small square in front of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but at this time it is crowded by the people in the city, which is extremely unusual, because this is the seat of the highest authority in Anxi Town.

"Gorou is here!"

Fortunately, his notoriety played a great role at this time, as soon as the onlookers heard this name, whether they recognized it or not, they all felt that they had made way for him, and in the fierce eyes of the slaves and sergeants of the Liu Mansion, hundreds of people and horses passed by.

"Gorou, it's just in time, I'm waiting for you."

Bai Xiaojie smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line, and behind him were Pei Guoliang and Long Rulin and other powerful people, among this group, Liu Ji also saw a familiar figure, the second of the four evils in Anxi.

The unequaled son Wei Chi Yao.

Okay, all the four countries of Anxi have arrived, just to see themselves off?

He jumped off his horse, said hello to them, walked up to the guy who was more handsome than the woman, and said with a smile, "You are very fast, Yang Huzi." ”

"He can't come, three days after you leave, Lao Yanghe will return to Khotan, to help you deal with the aftermath, a group of people have a headache, a certain family is happy, I heard that you are leaving, so I came to help send it."

From his words, Liu Ji heard a few meanings, things are very troublesome, Yang He doesn't know how to deal with it, he can only drag, Wei Chiyao has probably reached an agreement with Bai Xiaojie and others, and the previous agreement in Baifu is about to be fulfilled.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaojie came to his side and whispered as if unintentionally.

"Last night, was Gorou satisfied?"

"The taste of it is beyond words."

Liu Ji nodded knowingly, and the two showed the expression of an old driver, laughing a few times, everything was silent.

After dealing with these people, Liu Ji remembered the purpose: "What's the matter, hasn't the county gentleman set off yet?" ”

"Where, I heard that the Duhu Mansion has come up with a new thing, so everyone came over to take a look."

Bai Xiaojie's words made him a little puzzled, what kind of things can make these kingly characters flock to him?

"That's not." Following the direction pointed by Bai Xiaojie, Liu Ji found that the center of the square was surrounded by a group of guards from the Metropolitan Protectorate, and what was surrounded by the guards was a car.

To be precise, it was a horse-drawn carriage, and in this era, there was nothing surprising about the vehicles that could travel on long distances, either horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts, but the shape of this carriage was different from the ordinary.

It was a four-wheeled carriage.

Generally speaking, most of the popular vehicles in Datang are two-wheeled vehicles, and the two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles not only have some more structures, but also involve more complex balance and transmission devices, and what they see is such a unique carriage.

Passing over the guards, the first thing Liu Ji saw was a slender figure wrapped in white fur, perhaps hearing footsteps, the girl turned her head and showed a subtle smile.

"Ah Yue."

"Gorou, you're here." Feng Hanyue lightly opened her lips and said in a low voice: "Yuwen joined the army and said, this is your idea, why don't I know, you will still make such a new and ingenious thing?" ”

"There's still a lot you don't know, we have a long time for you to understand one by one."

Liu Ji said lightly, and did not step forward, in front of the carriage, Yu Wensheng and Li Qiyun were explaining the role of the car to the people in the Feng Mansion, of course, it was its difference.

On the surface, there is nothing surprising about this car, four wheels with a diameter of about one meter and a half, with a whole hardwood as an axle, supporting a hut-like carriage, the whole frame is in an I-shape, and the carriage is not directly connected to the frame, but there is something else strange, which is what they call strange.

In the frame, there are twenty special wooden tenons, in fact, its main material is bamboo, each wooden tenon is made of two pieces of bamboo that have been baked and dried and bent into a certain arc, crossed and combined into an "X" shape, the upper and lower sides are inlaid with hardwood, and the carriage is erected on a plane composed of twenty wooden tenons, the purpose of this is to do so.

Shock absorption.

At this time, the level of technology, can not make qualified steel springs, in the brainstorming of some craftsmen, they came up with such a trick, after the baked bamboo has a good elasticity, two pieces together, can make this elasticity more tough, they can play a role in a buffering force, to achieve the effect of shock absorption of springs in later generations.

In addition, the wheels have been improved, and the axles are covered with a layer of nitrated animal fur and coated with grease to make the rotation between the two axles more sleek and free.

The radial wooden wheels are also superimposed with a thick layer of natural leather, which is like solid rubber tires, making the vehicle run smoothly and comfortably, of course, due to the high wear rate, every time you take a break, there will be a special craftsman to replace it, and the cost of use is quite high.

Of course, for people like Fengfu, comfort is the first thing, and no one will think about the cost or anything.

Such a car, naturally, is not used to carry goods, and a few women are loaded in the carriage, which will be of immeasurable use for long-distance travel, no wonder even Zheng nodded frequently when he heard it, and looked at Liu Ji's eyes, which seemed to be much softer, and it seemed that this notorious young man was not so unacceptable.

After a simple test ride, everyone immediately understood its benefits, and they were full of praise, and the real producer, Yu Wensheng, was even more excited, so much so that Liu Ji had to remind him.

"The law of this car, there is not much surprise, it is inevitable that imitations will emerge in endlessly, what you have to do is to continue to deepen the research, make others can not imitate things, and at the same time reduce the cost of the cost, in order to pass everywhere, so that everyone can use it, use it well."

"Remember, I hope that Lang Jun will give him advice in the future."

Yu Wensheng's execution and research spirit are the most important points for Liu Ji, and it is his plan to use the techniques and views of later generations to attract his attention little by little, and finally achieve the goal of natural success.

Such a car, naturally, will not only build one, except for the female dependents of the Feng Mansion, Liu Fu also got one, sitting in it are Zhilan, Huixiang two maidservants, and Du Miaoru, the latter did not expect that Lang Jun would take her to Beijing after entering the mansion for less than a day.

The huge team slowly set off from the city, a large number of servants and sergeants followed behind on horseback, Xu Guangjing led people to be responsible for the guards along the way, and Liu Ji was naturally happy to be idle.

The crowd of people who saw them off was also large, all the officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate headed by Li Qiyun arrived, Bai Xiaojie and the representatives of the four countries were not left behind, plus the rich merchants and ordinary people in the city, it seemed that everyone wanted to witness Goro's departure.

After the team walked nearly a mile away along the smooth official road, Liu Ji suddenly heard a cheer and couldn't help but glance back on the horse.

"Look, thanks to you, today is a good day for Qiuzi City."

A white figure galloped by, leaving behind a string of silver bells of laughter.

"Ahri, let's go."

Immediately after, a black shadow swept by like lightning, one black and one white in the distance, which was extremely distinct.

Liu Ji's spirits perked up, and he quickly whipped up and chased after him.
