Half an hour later, in the open space behind the Gong Yin Office, looking at the "double wheel" that had been running several laps, Zhao Bao's face was still cloudy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The double-wheeled car is different from the single-wheeled car that generally requires two or four horses to pull, and the inner side of the wheels at both ends of the lower axle of the car has a wheel, one on the left and one on the right, and there is indeed only one horse in front of the driver, and under the control of the emperor, it is still galloping like a fly......

"Uncle, do you want the emperor to run along Handan City again?"

This is Mingyue hidden for half a year, after he saw this opportunity, he immediately let Li Tan and Zhang Lun, who participated in the production of this car, drive the double wheel car to the Gong Yin Department, this double wheel car has been running back and forth between Handan and Linzi, and it is still intact, after the actual test, he is very confident in its performance, so he dared to propose to replace the single wheel car with a double wheel car this time.

But in Zhao Bao's eyes, he didn't think so, he glanced at Mingyue, and asked lightly: "Nephew, where did you find this car?" ”

"It's the craft of folk craftsmen." Mingyue did not mention that it was invented based on the rural double-wheel carriage that she saw in the daily life of later generations, but gave the credit to the emperor Li Tan and his neighbor, Zhang Lun, and said to Zhao Bao that it was said that this was the vehicle designed by Che Hui back then......

"Che Huh?" Zhao Bao frowned, he obviously hadn't heard of this story that was widely circulated among the ink masters.

Mingyue explained: "Back then, Mozi heard that Lu Ban once made wooden kites to spy on the capital of the Song Kingdom, and he couldn't fly for three days and three nights. In order to deal with the losers, Mozi also spent three years making wooden kites, but they flew and fell down only one day. His disciple Yu Slippery and others flattered Mozi and said that Mr. was so clever that he could make the wooden kite fly. Mozi said, "I am far less skillful than the craftsman's chariot, and he used only one foot of wood to make a chariot in one day, which can carry the weight of thirty stones, and it will not be broken over the years......"

"It's a pity that Che Hui's skills are lost, and when I was searching on the streets of Handan, I happened to find this person, who was ...... after Che Hui"

The honest son-in-law Zhang Lun lay on the ground and didn't dare to come out, this story was originally the packaging made by Chang'an Jun for the Shuangyuan car, anyway, Mozi and Che Hui are dead, and Che Hui's descendants are not seen in the world, just made up.

Zhao Bao didn't look at him either, and asked Mingyue instead: "In this way, this car can carry thirty stones?" ”

Mingyue made a look of shame: "This skill has been dispersed for a long time, this car can only carry twenty-five stones, although it is the same as an ordinary chariot, but it also has many advantages." ”

Then, Mingyue gushed about the benefits of this car, such as the simplicity of the car, the vehicle minus unnecessary structures, making the vehicle lighter, so that the two-wheeled cart is more convenient for horses to exert force, and the need for livestock is half less than that of a single-wheeled cart.

"I've heard a saying that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and my uncle must not underestimate this extra wheel and a horse saved, which means that when the transportation date remains the same, the horses eat nearly half less soybean straw in transportation!"

However, before Mingyue could elaborate, Zhao Bao shook his head and said: "No matter how subtle you say about this car, I don't agree to replace the old car rashly." ”

This can make Mingyue stunned, he has already explained the benefits of the double wheel, with this template, it is not difficult to let the craftsman make 300 cars in half a month, why did Zhao Bao deny it all of a sudden?

He still wanted to argue, but Zhao Bao talked about his set of truths first.

"Baigong is used to making old cars, and it is inevitable that he will be rusty when he suddenly remakes a new car, so he doesn't know if it can be completed within half a month. You said that the new car can be loaded from Handan to Linzi, and the vehicle is not broken, even if it is true, but it is only to go to Qi country, and the road between Zhao and Qi is flat, so there is naturally no need to worry. You can go north from Handan to Yanguo, you have to pass through Zhongshan and Hejian, Zhongshan is hilly, the river is vast and sparsely populated, and the road is full of thorns, if the new car is damaged halfway, then what should it be? ”

In the end, he made a decision with a solemn face: "The military situation is like fire, if there is a business pool on the way, it is to use the lives of soldiers, the success or failure of this battle, and the rise and fall of the country at the price, so it is better to follow the rules, at least it will not be too bad......

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and let Mingyue go down, and supervised the construction of 300 chariots according to the original plan.

Mingyue gave a salute wordlessly, and left the Gongyin Department with his single wheel, wondering all the way, did he offend Zhao Bao? Otherwise, an ordinary person can see the benefits, how can he veto a word!

After thinking about it, it dawned on him......

"I have always heard that although Pingyuanjun and Pingyang-jun are brothers, Pingyuan-jun is careless, uninformal, and thinks about the good first in everything, while Pingyang-jun is cautious in everything and thinks about the bad first."

Mingyue couldn't help but think that the history books recorded that when the Korean Shangdang Shoufeng Ting came to offer the party county, this Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun quarreled in front of King Zhao over whether to accept the Shangdang.

Pingyuanjun's fat man Mingyue couldn't be clearer, he was a person with straight eyes when he saw the benefits, how could he let it go in the face of the fat that Shangdang sent to his mouth?

"Send an army of 100,000 to attack, and you won't get a city in a year, and now you get seventeen cities for nothing, such a big bargain, you can't miss it!"

This is Hirahara-kun's view, typical utilitarian optimism.

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao is different, this cautious pessimist thin man is cautious in everything, and first began to guess and offer the party, which is actually South Korea's strategy to blame! Then he began to think that Qin's armament, national strength, and situation were stronger than Zhao's, and accepting this unwarranted benefit would bring ruin to Zhao's country! Unacceptable!

Later generations all thought that Pingyuan Jun was ignorant and short-sighted, while Pingyang Jun was far-sighted, but now Mingyue found that this Pingyang Jun was too cautious when he encountered anything.

"Maybe I didn't persuade him enough, and I didn't say it in enough detail to make him unconvinced?"

So it was night, Mingyue directly prepared a gift and went to visit Pingyang Junfu.

Pingyang Mansion is adjacent to Pingyuan Jun's Mansion, located on the south bank of the Zhu River Rich mansion, but Mingyue didn't find it before, this visit, only to realize that although it is adjacent to Pingyuan Jun's Mansion, but Pingyang Jun's mansion is really plain and unpresentable, if it weren't for the words "Pingyang Junfu" at the door, he thought it was just the home of an ordinary doctor in Handan.

After entering, those attendants and maidservants were also different from the people in the Plains Monarch's Mansion, they were all ordinary Ge cloth, he was led into the inner hall, the room for hospitality was not big, the windows were bright and clean, Zhao Bao was still wearing a black dress and a black crown, sitting straight on the couch, facing the door, facing the window, and writing in front of the desk - he would still be working when he was not at home?

Looking at this conscientious Zhao Guogongzi, Mingyue was speechless, this is a rare Qingshui Gongzi, but he is obstructing himself.

Reminding himself that he must not turn his face with his boss, Mingyue still made a junior posture after seeing Zhao Bao, respectful, but he was not as eager as he could be, and he did not wait for the attendant to serve the soup, so he once again listed the superiority of the double-wheeled car to transport grain than the single-wheeled vehicle.

But Zhao Bao was still unmoved, still writing things stroke by stroke, until the end, he raised and urged Mingyue not to say anything, quickly supervise the construction of the car, and do not delay!

He even darkened his face and said meaningfully: "If Chang'anjun finds it difficult, it is better to call it sick and recuperate, and let Bangzuo Gongyin take over this matter......"

"Since my uncle is so stubborn, my nephew will take his leave!"

Facing this conservative uncle who didn't eat oil and salt, Mingyue was also angry, and with a wave of her sleeves, she was about to leave the table.

At this moment, a girl in a dark dress was leading the maid up to serve soup, she held a lacquer plate in her hand, and almost collided with Mingyue who was angry and went out, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother, this is leaving?" ”

As soon as Mingyue raised her head, she immediately caught the girl's charming eyes, a pretty face, and a pointed chin like a fox.

But I saw that she was also fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed very beautifully, with a comb on her hair and a beard, a small mouth with a bead, two earlobes and jade rings, wearing a vermilion skirt, the skirt was long and swaying to the ground, and a gold ribbon was tied around her thin waist, highlighting her exquisite figure, reflecting the lights, the whole person was bright and dazzling, and there was a faint fragrance, which was lingering, and she was young and dressed like a charming goblin.

Then, the little goblin looked at Zhao Bao and said coquettishly: "Father, this is not the hospitality of Pingyang Junfu......

The arrival of the girl broke the tense atmosphere in the hall, Zhao Bao was slightly stunned, and seeing that Mingyue was a little hesitant, he introduced: "This is my concubine." ”

"It turned out to be a cousin." Mingyue also returned the salute to her very elegantly, but was surprised by the girl's laughter.

She held the lacquer plate and twisted her waist and said a blessing: "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune." Zhao Ji has heard the name of Chang'an Jun for a long time, and today I finally got my wish to see my brother......"
