Fang Xu just got up.

Ma Zhou, who was covered in snowflakes, came.

Ma Zhou, of course, is not a New Year's greeting for Fang Xu.

Ma Zhou, the word bin king. A native of Chiping, Bozhou. Prime Minister of the early Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xu and Ma Zhou, how they got acquainted, this has to start with Xinfeng.

History: Ma Zhou. Less lonely, poor family. He is good at "Poems", "Books", "Spring and Autumn", and "Zuo Biography".

Ma Zhou, who is gifted and intelligent, was already full of wealth when he was less than twenty years old. However, he is arrogant by nature and a little weird, and the people around him look down on him.

In the early years of Tang Gaozu Wude, Ma Zhou became a minor official in a neighboring county, but he thought that this was overkill, and he was very unhappy, and he drank all day long for pleasure and did not do business.

Ma Zhou's uninhibited uninhibited was scolded by the Bozhou Thorn Shi Shi Shu at that time, saying that he was not the material to be an official. He thinks that Tang Taizong is a brilliant master, and if he can get the favor of the emperor, he will definitely be able to do something earth-shattering.

Then, he came to Chang'an, the capital of the country.

But when Ma Zhou came to Xinfeng Town, not far from Chang'an, because he didn't have much money, he lived in a low-end hotel, and he often defaulted on the store's money. The shopkeeper treats Ma Zhou coldly, often makes disrespectful remarks, and Ma Zhou doesn't mind, once, Ma Zhou asked the shopkeeper to bring a bucket of eight liters of wine to drink alone.

At this time, Ma Zhou, heard. is in the Mingyue Building, Fang Xu, who is drinking Xinfeng wine, and the young man who sings.

Two people of fate met.

In history, Ma Zhou came to Chang'an, and in the face of him, who was unaccompanied, he took refuge in Zhonglang and became a doorman under Chang He.

In June of the third year of Zhenguan, when there was a great drought in the world, Dai Chang He submitted more than 20 suggestions, which were reused by Li Shimin.

Now, he was decisively accepted by Fang Xu as a junior brother.

"Zhou, I've seen Mr." Ma Zhou said to Fang Xu.

"Brother Binwang, let's go, let's go and have a look." Fang Xu said.

"What are you going to do?" Ma Zhou wondered.

Fang Xu smiled and said, "Brother Binwang, why are you here, why are you going?" ”

Ma Zhou was stunned, "Sir, you know what I mean." ”

Fang Xu laughed and said, "Go and see, you'll know." ”

"What is this?" Ma Zhou looked at the strange thing in front of him and asked.

Fang Xu explained, "I call this thing, sled. You can call it a plow, ice bed, mopping bed, whatever.

This thing is like a car without wheels, like a couch without feet. The cover is like a niche, and the rope is like a royal. Its bottom is as flat as a plow, and it is good for walking in the ice and snow.

Use oak, basswood, birch and elm with strong toughness.

To put it simply, it is to use two wooden poles more than one zhang long, and one end is grilled with fire, so that it is raised high and used as a wheel. The part that touches the ground at the other end is nailed with a crossbar, and a pillar is added to make a carriage, which can sit people or load goods. There are wheels and bottoms, no wheels, and they slide on the ice and snow with two smooth wooden poles.

How about hauling cattle and horses and other livestock for transporting grain and going for disaster relief. ”

Now, the difficulty of the imperial court is that it is necessary to provide disaster relief and mobilize food, but it cannot be transported, and it cannot be carried on the shoulders.

Fang Xu thought of this kind of transportation for people living in the northern ice and snow world in the future generations.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Mr. ...... a long time ago," Ma Zhou said excitedly.

Fang Xu laughed and said: "If I only know how to drink and write poems all day long, I can't afford to be your brother Binwang." ”

"Don't worry, this sleigh, I have already sent it to the palace, and I think Your Majesty and the princes of the court have seen it."
