019 First attempt to run transport
The old master pointed to the stool at Jiang Yi, signaling that she could sit down, and did not pour tea, and directly asked Bu Ru where he couldn't understand.
This is a strange old man, Jiang Yi is not surprised, seeing that Bu Ru took out the book and quickly confirmed the old master's knowledge, even his younger brother Jiang Zhen listened to it with relish, so he walked out of the hall by himself, looked at the courtyard at the door in a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking.
About half an hour later, Bu Ru stood up and saluted; "Thank you, Master, for your doubts, this time I have disturbed you a lot."
"It's fine." The old master waved his hand, thought about it and said; "If there's anything you don't understand in the future, ask me again."
The old man didn't keep a meal, and looked at the situation in his house, where there was food to entertain the three of them.
The three of them didn't go to their hearts, and walked out into the street after leaving, Jiang Zhen said; "It seems that there are only two grandchildren in their family."
Buru nodded; "Yes, their house should have been okay before, and it was worth some money when you looked at the house, but the blue brick house was just broken down without knowing why."
After a pause, he said; "The old master still has some skills, I mentioned everything I don't understand, and he can speak very thoroughly, which has benefited me a lot."
Jiang Yi said with a smile; "Then you can ask for more advice in the future."
The three of them were on the street, and bought two knives of inferior rice paper for Bu Ru, and just saw the grandson of the old master practicing calligraphy with this, he also had itchy hands, passing by the bookstore and seeing that there was this paper for sale, a question was only 10 copper a knife, and a knife had a hundred sheets, which could be practiced for a long time for practicing words.
It was close to noon, and the three of them bought two buns for lunch.
Then seeing that there were people selling sugar gourds, Bu Ru didn't know what kind of mentality he had, so he insisted on buying one for each of their sisters and brothers.
There are eight of them in a string of two coppers, which is a rare delicious treat for the ancient people who lacked snacks and rarely ate sugar.
Jiang Zhen chewed the sweet sugar gourd and asked contentedly; "Sister, where are we going now? Got home? ”
Jiang Yi let Buru eat two pieces, and only then did she start eating, and when she saw her brother asking, she answered; "I'm looking for a place to make a board car."
"What are you doing with a cart?" Bu Ru asked in surprise.
"We have a cow at home now, and I want to make a pallet truck to pull goods."
"What are you pulling?"
"Going back and forth between the village and the town, anyone who wants to pull goods can help pull and collect some freight."
This is to do the ancient goods Lala.
Buru asked; "Is this okay?"
"I thought I could give it a try." Jiang Yi replied.
In ancient times, she actually thought about it for a long time, the village is more than 20 miles to the town, and every day the people in the village go to and from the town so much, everyone has to carry something, if they have an ox cart to help transport, they should be able to make some money.
And the work of driving the car, because it is not a carriage, the ox is relatively slow, and the younger brother should be able to do it.
Buru has seen her extraordinary performance many times, and at this time he was impressed and respected by her; "Chunya, your head is very useful, you can try it if you think you can, I have no opinion."
"Sister, I listen to you too." Jiang Zhen said with a grin.
The three of them inquired all the way through the street, only to find a workshop making wheels on the side of a relatively remote street.
At this time, although the Dayong Dynasty was similar to the end of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, many rituals were similar, but they were not poisoned too deeply by science, although the status of women was lower than that of men, but it was not as low as the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was not so perverted in the defense of men and women, and women were still quite free in all aspects of travel.
She walked around here very casually, and after asking the shopkeeper, she learned that it would cost about five taels of silver to make a carriage.
If you don't want a car, as long as the wheel plate, two taels are about the same, mainly expensive on the wheels, two wheels will cost one or two halves.
Jiang Yi took a closer look at the current wheel technology, although it is far from reaching the level of rubber and steel tires in later generations, but after thousands of years of technical precipitation, it has been able to do very well, strong and durable, and there are simple shock absorption measures.
However, if you want to pull goods, you don't care whether you reduce shock or not, just be practical.
Jiang Yi decided to buy a pair of finished car plates, this car board is two meters long, one meter two wide, there is no sealing plate in front of the car board, but there is a horizontal wood, which is convenient for people who drive the car to sit, there is a foot-high baffle on both sides, and the sealing plate behind can be removed, which is very convenient.
After the bargaining skills she practiced in her previous life, with her three-inch incorruptible tongue, she finally bought a pair of car plates for 1,800 copper.
It just so happens that the cow is also here, and it is just right to put it on.
Jiang Yi asked the boss again, knowing that if a donkey pulls a cart and walks on a flat hard dirt road, it can pull 600-800 catties of things, and with a horse-drawn cart, it can pull about 800-1000 catties on a flat hard dirt road, and if an adult cow is an adult, about 1500 catties is about the same, and it is not good for cattle to pull too much.
In fact, Jiang Yi also used ox carts in the countryside in her previous life, and in the board carts with hardened cement roads and rubber tires, it is not a big problem for an adult buffalo to pull 2,000 catties.
Now based on the consideration of the underage of the cattle, the bearing capacity and friction of the wheels, and the road conditions, it is best not to pull more than 1,200 catties.
In fact, she also thought about whether she could use a four-wheeled board car, and talked with the boss to know that the four-wheeled vehicle can indeed pull more, but the steering technology is not mature enough, and it can barely be used, but the four-wheeled vehicle also has a lot of inconveniences, first of all, the action and steering are not flexible, and the body is relatively heavy, if you fall into the mud, it is difficult to pull out.
After saying goodbye to the boss, Jiang Zhen volunteered to get on the front of the car without waiting for his sister's instructions, shouting that he wanted to practice catching the car.
He was eleven years old, and he was almost a person who could get married in ancient times, and he would be considered a big boy in later generations, so Jiang Yi agreed, but he still sat next to him with some unease.
Bu Ru sat quietly in the back of the car, holding a book and reading it with relish.
Jiang Zhen is still very clever, and there is no chaos in driving the ox cart through the streets.
When it was almost time to leave the town, Jiang Yi remembered something and hurriedly went to buy a bundle of hemp rope.
Out of the town, there are several large camphor trees, and there is a large pavilion under the tree, and many people who come and go to the town like to rest here.
And there is also a profession here, that is, porters, who specialize in helping pedestrians and passengers pick things.
Those who have bought something in town, also like to come here to hire people.
Jiang Yi asked his younger brother to park the car here, and then muttered a few words in his ear and pulled Buru out of the car and stood next to him.
Jiang Zhen sat in the car, cleared his throat and shouted; "Back to Bujia Village, take people to transport goods, six coppers for the elderly over 50 years old, four coppers for children under 10 years old, regardless of the weight of the goods, only four coppers are collected for a sack or a basket, and the decreasing ...... along the way"
After shouting, a group of people immediately looked at it.
At this afternoon, many people are in town shopping for things to go home.
Some of them had goods in their hands, and when they saw this, they came over, and one of the women asked Jiang Zhen; "Little brother, I only have a basket of rice bran, do you really only need four coppers to help me transport it back to Huanshan Village?"
