Four-wheeled vehicles are an inevitable stage in the development of transportation, and Europa, as the flattest continent on Shijie, naturally has the innate advantage of developing four-wheeled vehicles. However, with twice as many wheels, there were naturally twice as many bumps, so in ancient Europe, their chariots were still two-wheeled vehicles like those of Huaxia.

China is mountainous and hilly, and the technology tree of the four-wheeled car obviously does not meet the needs of the ancients, so the four-wheeled car was only a hearse after the death of the princes for a long time. Later, the Taiping car was used to pull goods, and like the hearse, there was no need to consider the problem of comfort, so there has been no great progress in steering and anti-bumps.

After Zhu Cihong exerted influence on this shijie, the Western steering and shock absorbing jishu were also popularized by John Tang in the Ming Dynasty.

After being able to steer smoothly and having a bow reed suspension, Shandong's four-wheeled car was quickly accepted by the people. Coupled with a sufficient quantity of high-quality toughness steel, coupled with the fine management of mule and horse breeding, Shandong's transportation industry has made great progress.

Wang Yi sat in the carriage, carefully placing his butt on the straw bale, and looked up at the roof made of bamboo poles. The luggage on the roof creaked as the carriage jolted, as if it would break at any moment and smash it on the heads of the passengers below.

However, no one else in the car had this kind of worry, and they were either in a daze or taking a nap, looking very calm. Each sat a straw bale under their buttocks. This straw bale is not placed there by the car owner to take care of the passengers, but the accompanying goods, which seem to be soft objects such as fur that are not afraid of pressure.

Wang Yi took this kind of car for the first time, and after a short period of surprise, he was puzzled: there were a total of fourteen passengers in the car, and according to five big yuan per person, that was sixty yuan. It was a two-day walk from Texas to Shenzhou, and the money was paid for the cattle and the coachman's wages. I'm afraid there won't be a few left.

"Won't the carriage and horse shop lose money?" Wang Yi couldn't help but ask Hu Er.

"No, it's a loss if you run empty." Hu Er is obviously very clear about these things: "These carriages are all to bundle deer and pull goods. In the past, some people and goods were set up here, which was to make some forage money, and the real big money was to pull out the leather goods from Shulu. ”

Wang Yi sighed and suddenly understood. Anyway, by the way, earning one is one. It is equivalent to someone giving money to solve the material in the past. These businessmen are really smart. He sighed, and at the same time said secretly: I went to the boot camp from home, and it has been less than three months now, but it seems to be isolated from the world for three hundred years! The last time I passed by here with the army of rogues, there were still groups of thieves and starving all over the place, and now there are businessmen again.

Thinking of the army of rogues that he once lived with his father, Wang Yi smiled in his heart. He already knew that the army had later surrendered to the crown prince and had become a Ming army. It also got the number of the independent guerrilla battalion. Thinking of what he saw and heard when he was in the guerrilla camp before, I am afraid that Luo Yukun had already secretly communicated with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a long time ago.

- Luo Yukun is really loyal, and even the family of Sage Kong copied it, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes in him.

Wang Yi said secretly in his heart. However, he soon doubted whether Luo Yukun knew the origin and status of the Yansheng Mansion, so this admiration quickly disappeared in the bumps of the carriage.

The carriage made stops at both the stopover and the village, and changed horses twice.

The coachman semi-openly sells smuggled goods to villagers along the way to make a small profit.

There are also villagers who take a horse-drawn carriage from this village to a nearby village, but the fare is a handful of grass, a handful of beans, and a bowl of rice soup...... The most expensive is an egg. - The man had been in the car for most of the day. Naturally, all of these things fell into the driver's pocket. There is no need to take a commission with the carriage and horses.

Wang Yi changed places with the person outside, and the person got his wish and sat in a good seat without wind. The corners of his mouth are grinning to the base of his ears.

Wang Yi turned his back to the carriage, looking at the autumn scenery slowly moving outside, there was a curling smoke in the distance, and the crops in the field looked much more energetic than he had seen before!

In a trance, Wang Yi suddenly remembered what the instructor of the recruit camp had said: Everyone has to eat food, where does the food come from? Grown in the ground! Only to keep our land, our people. Everyone can live a good life with whatever they want to eat! Let's fight and kill the enemy desperately, isn't it just so that we can eat enough, our parents can eat, and our brothers and sisters and grandchildren can eat enough?

- The family's land is enough for my father to eat, but I came to be a soldier but I still have to help Mr. Huang atone for his sins.

Wang Yi reminded himself in his heart.

Somehow. The clouds in the sky are like dough in the hands of the gods, and they have changed into the appearance of Senior Sister Huang.

He once wrote to Mr. Huang, seemingly greeting his wife and sister politely, but he never received a reply from his husband, and he didn't know what was going on at home.

——Mr. Huang's family is a criminal official, and I heard that life is very hard. However, since the senior sister has become a female official, the family should not be so difficult that she can't open the pot.

Wang Yi's heart was in turmoil, he just looked up at the sky blankly, and soon found that there was more people around him.

Hu Er changed to Wang Yi's side, looked up for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "What's in the sky?" ”

Wang Yi smiled at him: "This blue sky and white clouds are not enough?" ”

Hu Er muttered, and was about to change in again, but who knew that the merchant who changed places with him pretended to be asleep, whether it was the bump of the carriage or Hu Er's pushing, he couldn't wake him up. Hu Er had no choice but to become a door god with Wang Yi. When the light gradually faded, the wind blew coldly, which provoked Hu Er to sneeze several times and complain to Wang Yi incessantly.

Finally, when it was time to settle down at night, the coachman exchanged a carload of people's feces and urine for free accommodation, while the others curled up in the carriage and the woodshed to make do with the night.

"Auntie, my two brothers and I don't have a place to spend the night, can you do it?" Wang Yi found a seemingly honest villager, knocked on the door, and showed his harmless smile: "We must get up tomorrow morning to fetch water and chop wood for you." ”

The lady looked at these two strong guys, and her heart was timid. She doesn't mind helping people, anyway, there are only two people at home, she and her wife, and there is no shortage of places to shop.

But these years are too unstable, if you run into a thief......

"Auntie, we are all soldiers of the crown prince, look at this brand!" Hu Er squeezed Wang Yi away and took out the military badge hanging around his neck: "Look, auntie, there is still my number on it." ”

The Donggong army passed through the state and county, and not only had to give money to buy things, but also had to give a military card, so that the seller could record the soldier number, and in case of a dispute, he could go directly to the camp to find someone. This seems to be a decree to restrict military discipline, and it also gives the Donggong Army a good reputation. In a village like this, which is located next to a traffic artery, everyone knows that as long as they see a military sign, they are the crown prince's men and horses, and they will never do bad things.

Sure enough, the wrinkles on the eldest lady's forehead quickly relaxed, and she invited the two strong guys into the house, and turned out the futon for the two of them. Wang Yi didn't expect that there would be such treatment as a soldier, compared to the days when he was a rogue, it was a world of difference. At that time, if he was accidentally left alone, it would be considered lucky not to be killed by the villagers, where would anyone invite him into the house for the night?

"There is really no food at home...... "The eldest lady said regretfully: "There is also a small half bowl of millet, why don't you make some porridge?" ”

Wang Yi and Hu Er hurriedly thanked them, but they didn't promise the hospitality of the eldest mother, so they took out the prepared dry food from the baggage and nibbled on it themselves.

"Auntie, then you don't have rice at home, ...... days to come" Wang Yi drank the water brought by the aunt, swallowed the dry food, and couldn't help worrying.

The eldest lady was not worried, and said with a hearty smile: "You can go to the village elder to receive rations with your household registration, which is really a blessing for Taiwei Xingjun." Originally, I was about to starve to death, but fortunately, Taiwei Xingjun came! Now the village is raising us for nothing, and my old man can still do some carpenter work, and his life can go on. ”

"Yo? Uncle can also work as a carpenter? Hu Er's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Uncle, do you know how to make jujube core balls?" ”

The uncle, who had already gone to bed, said for a long time: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it." ”

Hu Er was energetic, stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I'll give you the size, can you make me two?" A penny for two! "The jujube kernel ball is made of loose wood, cut out an embryo in the shape of a jujube pit, and polish it until it does not prick your hands. As long as a carpenter has all the tools and materials, he can make one by dividing five by two, even if he has not learned carpentry, it is not difficult to do it.

For two pennies, you can buy a big meat bun in the county!

Naturally, the old man would not refuse this business sent to his door.

After dawn, Wang Yi and Hu Er fulfilled their promise to fill the old man's house with water and chop firewood. The old man also made three jujube core balls, and Hu Er was overjoyed and gave seven big coins. Because the two also drank millet porridge cooked by the eldest mother.

"What the hell is this jujube core ball for?"

In the car, Wang Yi asked Hu Erdao.

Hu Eryi patted his head: "Yes!" You'd be locked up by then. ”

The corners of Wang Yi's mouth twitched.

Hu Er was unconscious, and excitedly told Wang Yi about the newly invented ball game of the crown prince. From the rules to the tactics, and then to the various examples, it is like foaming at the mouth. Wang Yi listened to it with relish, and found that this Hu Er was not particularly nagging for the first time, and sometimes it was quite interesting to speak.

Not only Wang Yi listened interestingly, but the people in the same car also had seen the jujube core ball game, and they came over to discuss it together. Suddenly, the whole carriage was lively in an instant, and there was a feeling of hating each other.

Wang Yi had never seen this kind of ball game, but he just listened to the excitement, and seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, he aroused his curiosity, and made up his mind to see this ball game when he arrived at the station.

"How often is this ball play?" Wang Yi asked.

"The regular one is once every ten days," Hu Er said with a smile, "I have fun every day." ”

Every day? The soldiers of the 1st Guards Battalion play ball games every day, and they don't need to practice? Wang Yi was even more puzzled in his heart. (To be continued......)
