Zhang Youcheng said it, in fact, he regretted it a little.

However, I don't regret this sentence, but I feel that as a minister, I shouldn't look so ungraceful.

But at this time, the voice fell, and it was already difficult to collect it, so I heard Zhang Anshi say: "Okay, then let you see with your own eyes how I transported these ten stones of grain." ”

Zhang Anshi immediately looked at Zhu Di and said, "I beg Your Majesty, let the ministers give it a try." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi, and was a little curious in his heart, and said, "Accurate." ”

Zhang Anshi did not hesitate and said: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, come with me, come here, go get a grain cart first, and then go get two horses." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Also, move my carriage out for me." ”

Zhang Anshi said he would do it, and did not give Zhang Youcheng any room to regret.

The more people looked at it, the more surprised they became.

Hu Guang couldn't help but say: "How does Wei Guogong plan to compare?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "It's not easy? Take a grain cart from the household and compare it with my carriage, set up a route, load different grains, and see who reaches the end first. ”

Racing car......

Zhu Di was noncommittal, but he seemed interested, of course...... He still had some doubts in his heart.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, Zhu Di knows this truth better than anyone else. Therefore, every time he marched and fought, he was most concerned about the problem of grain and grass. He would take the time to inspect many of the grain trucks he was escorting, in order to ensure that the supplies would not be interrupted.

Since there is no room for remorse, this Zhang Youcheng also gave birth to a competitive heart at this time, and couldn't help muttering: "I want to see what can be done in this world to increase the transportation capacity." ”

He has his self-confidence, after all, he is a household official, and transporting grain is his main responsibility, and he naturally knows everything about transporting grain.

Therefore, he was confident, but he said: "Wei Guogong wants to compare, so dare to ask, what if you can't transport ten stones of grain?" ”

Zhang Anshi immediately said arrogantly: "If you can't get lucky, I'll ask my brother Zhu Yong to call you father!" ”

In the distance, Zhu Neng, the military minister who was driving, was watching the show with great interest, and these military ministers were originally having dinner in another hall, and when they saw the excitement here, they all came over.

Seeing that the contradictions were polarized, Zhang Anshi and Wenchen were arguing, and they couldn't wait to fight, Zhu Nengzheng was elated, and he grinned happily.

But at this moment, he pulled down his face and blushed, then took a deep breath, and finally held back.

But at this time, Zhu Yong, who was about to leave after receiving the order, heard this, his eyebrows were horizontal, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he glared at Zhang Youcheng and said, "Did you listen to what my eldest brother said?" If you can't do it, I'll call you Dad, and you will wait for me. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Neng finally felt a little unbearable, and he rolled up his sleeves and thought about it.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Di's stern gaze swept over, and Zhu Neng was still discouraged after all, so he could only stay where he was, scolding in a low voice.

Of course, Zhang Youcheng had no interest in being Zhu Yong's father, but both sides said cruel words, and of course they couldn't show weakness, so they only sneered.

Many Wenchen also came to be interested, and quietly came to Zhang Youcheng's side one by one, admiring Zhang Youcheng's courage.

It's just that they laughed at Zhang Anshi's boasting.

If you don't know anything about grain transportation, you may believe Zhang Anshi's words, but anyone with a little common sense will not believe this Zhang Anshi.

Soon, Zhang Anshi began to take out Qixia's map and draw a circle.

Then he said to Zhang Youcheng: "It's better to do this, just let this carriage go around the mansion of this exhibition, I have roughly calculated, if you go around a big circle, it will be two or three miles away." My car carries ten stones, and your car carries one stone, and it depends on who reaches the end first. ”

Although it may not be possible to accurately calculate the load of the carriage, the approximate load capacity can be measured according to this method.

In any case, Zhang Anshi has already suffered a big loss.

Ten stone of grain is 1,500 catties.

And the grain cart only needs to transport 150 catties.

In fact, it is enough for the grain truck to transport 300 catties, and with the coachman and other facilities on the car, it can barely reach 500 catties.

But...... The real grain transportation is not the case, you carry 300 catties of grain to set off, and the people and horses along the way also need to eat and drink, this grain ...... It can only come from a loaded grain cart.

So when you really arrive at your destination, maybe the forage for the horses and the food for people will be gone.

Because of this, it is said that only one stone of grain can be transported.

But now, after all, it is impossible for people to transport grain hundreds or even thousands of miles away, and now it can only be compared according to Zhang Anshi's method.

So Zhang Youcheng nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Soon, Zhang Anshi's carriage was pulled out, and then someone went to fetch an ordinary grain cart.

This grain cart is very ordinary, all made of wood, it is the most ordinary two-wheeled vehicle, Zhang Anshi asked Zhang Youcheng to choose a groom by himself, Zhang Youcheng was not polite, and asked someone to invite one.

This groom is very professional at first glance, and he is very skilled in setting horses for grain carts, but as for the two horses, it was Zhang Anshi who asked Zhang Youcheng to choose, and Zhang Youcheng naturally chose a taller one.

On the other hand, Zhang Anshi asked Zhu Yong to be responsible for catching up with the car, and when the new car appeared, Zhang Anshi let Zhu Yong drive it, so Zhu Yong was quite familiar with the new car.

Everything was ready, and two wagons began to load with grain.

Zhang Anshi looked back at the hundred officials with a smile and said, "Among the princes, there are still people...... Like Zhang Yuanwailang, are you interested in gambling? ”

Everyone was silent.

Although everyone thinks that Zhang Anshi is exaggerated.

But after all, he is a minister, so he will not be angry with others for such things.

Bet? What does this look like!

Zhang Anshi sighed: "Hey, it's a pity, I thought that my ministers of the Ming Dynasty were all hot-blooded." It turned out that he would hide in case of trouble, so it seems that Zhang Youcheng, a foreigner, is a little bloody. ”

Everyone: "......"

Zhu Di can see that Zhang Anshi, this guy, is definitely a troublemaker.

At this time, I saw Zhang Anshi and said: "If Sage Kong is here, he knows that his protégés only use his knowledge as a stepping stone, just to get an official body, but they will take the word righteousness and put it on the shelf, I don't know what they will think." ”

"Sage Confucius, Sage Confucius, open your eyes and see, look at the beings under your door, how they talk about you, and how they humiliate your lintel. Sage Kong, open your eyes and take a look......"

All of a sudden, many people began to stir.

To be honest, if Zhang Anshi just provoked, of course everyone ignored it.

But Zhang Anshi actually brought out the sage of Kong for a lot of yin and yang weirdness, which made people angry.

It's like scolding the Son at the Father, it's like spitting at someone.

Someone couldn't help it, and stood up with his head held high: "The contemptible person supervises the imperial history Kuang Yu, but he also wants to gamble." ”

The name Kuang Yu is very awkward.

However, Zhang Anshi looked at him carefully, but saw that it was a young minister, who should have just taken the test, but obviously this person was lucky, he became an imperial historian at a young age, and his future prospects were only limitless.

This man...... It sounds familiar.

Zhang Anshi remembered that during the time of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the change of Tumu Fort, the situation was extremely urgent, and when the Wara people attacked, it was the British Gong Zhang Fu and the ministers led by the then military department Shangshu Kuang Yu to fight to the death, and in the end, both of them were killed.

Come to think of it, this Kuang Yu is the military secretary who died in the civil fort.

The reason why Zhang Anshi has an impression of this person is not because he is familiar with history, but because he used to read parenting books, including the case of Kuang Yu's father Kuang Zifu parenting, and used it as an example to illustrate the method of parenting.

This Kuang Yu has no mother since he was a child, so he was almost raised by his father Kuang Zifu, and the father and son can be said to depend on each other.

One of the deeds, Zhang Anshi remembers more deeply, saying that when Kuang Yu was serving in the Criminal Department, he once sent his father Kuang Zifu a piece of clothing, and his father wrote back to reproach: "You are in charge of the law, you should clear the grievances and solve the long-standing backlog of eucalyptus, and do not be ashamed of your official position, where did you get this dress, and you actually used it to defile me." When it was sealed, it was handed back to him.

Although this is just a trivial matter, I also see that this Kuang Zifu is a strict father, but it is a little too strict.

It's just that this era is probably a model of education.

This Kuang Yu is young and vigorous, and now he is only in his early twenties, and in his bones, it seems that his father's stubbornness has continued.

At this time, he was provoked by Zhang Anshi, so he didn't hold back and stepped forward.

Kuang Yu said, but another person also stood up and said: "The secretary of the Ministry of Officers and Soldiers ordered Shi Wang Wenluo to make a bet, but he also wants to gamble." ”

Three people came out around this time, but the other ministers, although they did not come forward, also showed hostility.

Zhang Anshi's original intention was actually to let these people remember the lesson, so that they could make an advertisement for this exhibition.

Now I find that it seems to be a bit big, especially this Kuang Yu...... This person is by no means a bad person, and it is really a little unpleasant to slap him in the face.

It's just that now, he is also difficult to ride a tiger.

So he looked at Zhu Di with a dry smile.

Zhu Di was obviously anxious to wait for the load of the carriage, but when he saw that Zhang Anshi was still fighting with people here, his face was also a little unsightly, so he said, "Let's start." ”

"Yes."

Two wagons, began to load grain.

On the side of the new car, Zhang Anshi asked people to disassemble the upper compartment of the chassis, and instead use an open body, and then ...... Bags of grain were piled up.

In a few moments, the new car was piled up like a hill of grain.

But with this 1,500 catties of grain on top, the chassis of the new car began to sink slightly, but it seemed that there was still a margin.

With the yellow cushion and the steel chassis, it is actually just a five-ton cargo, and it sinks a little, but after all, it is four wheels, which is enough to share the weight.

As for the grain carts on that side, they have also begun to be filled.

Zhu Yong got into the car with agility, carrying a horsewhip, and the coachman on the other side also got into the grain cart at this time.

Zhang Anshi gave an order.

Many people just wait to see the joke, they have never seen it, there is a car that dares to carry more than 1,000 catties of grain, any grain cart, just afraid that the horse will not be able to pull it.

But something strange happened.

As Zhu Yong's whip fell, the horse slowly moved forward, and then ...... The carriage began to move.

At first, it was a little slow, but once it moved, it was extraordinarily smooth.

The four wheels of the rubber rotated on the ground, filtering out a lot of shock.

Not only that, but the ball bearings in the center of the four wheels also began to rotate rapidly.

This design minimizes the drag caused by friction.

So much so that the strength of a horse, although it starts slowly, once the carriage begins to turn, the horse moves forward as if it were a leisurely walk, and does not feel any resistance.

The balance of the four wheels is also on full display.

Zhu Yong is a wild faction, as soon as the carriage moves, he becomes excited, holding a whip in his hand, but he doesn't really whip the horse hard, after all, he is behind the gate, he may not have feelings for people, but he has feelings for horses.

So, with a gentle thud, the horse began to pick up speed, as if instructed to do so.

And the new car behind it also began to rotate continuously.

Velocity...... It began to speed up.

On the other hand, the grain cart, because it uses wooden wheels, is afraid of this wheel...... But there is also an error in manufacturing, plus the shaft of the wheel, a large log is used, the two ends run through the wheel, plus the use of two wheels, once the load is loaded, the center of gravity of the carriage subconsciously back, so that the horse pulls up, the resistance is getting bigger and bigger.

Of course, for the new car, the biggest innovation is the ball bearing. This kind of simple structure, which was used in almost all industrial fields in later generations, as long as some tung oil is added to it, it can almost minimize the resistance of the car.

Zhu Yong's carriage was obviously getting faster and faster.

Because the drag is reduced to a minimum, once there is kinetic energy, then the inertia of the car begins to appear, and it can actually speed up.

After a hundred zhang, the new car easily caught up with the grain truck, and then began to quickly distance itself from the grain truck, and even became farther and farther away.

The driver of the grain cart was obviously in a hurry, and he was beating his horse desperately.

But obviously, this was to no avail, because no matter how he whipped, he still had the strength in his hands, for fear that once the horse started to develop, the grain cart would not be stable enough, and he was afraid that even the cart would be overturned.

The three-mile journey is actually very fast.

After a stick of incense, I saw Zhu Yong's figure.

But he saw him driving the car triumphantly, and then, at last, the carriage reached the end.

As for the grain cart...... It's still nowhere to be seen.

And the people standing here were silent one by one.

Zhu Di held his breath, his eyes stared at the carriage fixedly, and his heart was already overturned.

Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Yong, who was showing off his might and jumping out of the carriage with a speechless face.

Hu Guang and Yang Rong glanced at each other, obviously seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Lao Cheng's Jian Yi, Jin Zhong, and Xia Yuanji, but their breathing began to speed up.

Transport...... Transport......

A thought popped into my mind.

Ten times the volume, even if there is no ten times, even if it is five times the volume......

What does this mean?

Zhang Anshi shouted happily at this time: "How about winning, Zhang Yuanwailang, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Zhang Anshi looked at the three of them.

This Zhang Youcheng only felt that his brain was confused, he had been in the household department for so many years, and he didn't believe that such a thing could happen.

It's all the same carriage, it's pulled by a horse, but the result is ...... It's completely different.

Suddenly, his face turned pale as paper, and he didn't know how to respond.

The two of them, Kuang Yu and Wang Wenluo, couldn't help but be stunned.

Fang Cai didn't hold back for a while, and now he ......

Seeing Zhang Anshi's provocative appearance, Zhang Youcheng was extremely sad and indignant in his heart: "Let's go...... Xia Guan had nothing to say...... If so, then you should offer your head. ”

Kuang Yu also said sadly: "I am willing to lose the bet." ”

Even Wang Wenluo hesitated slightly, and finally drooped his head and said, "The lower official has nothing to say, and he is willing to offer his head." ”

Zhang Anshi sneered: "Who wants your head, why do you think I want to bet with you?" It is to let you know that there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains! You think you have read a few books of sages, and with the help of them, you have easily obtained the black hat. He trampled everything under his feet, and there was no one in his eyes, and there was nothing in his eyes. Zhang Youcheng, what did you just say to people? How do these things benefit the people of the world? Then let me ask you now, you have been an official for so many years, and what have you done that is beneficial to the common people? There are so many poor people in this world, but there is one person who fills his stomach because of you? There is one of the officers and soldiers who suppressed thieves in Guizhou...... Did you survive because of your salvation? ”

Zhang Youcheng buried his head at this time, he couldn't get out, his face was red, where did he dare to fight back.

Zhang Anshi said: "But in this world, it is precisely you and your colleagues who look down on these things the most, which can benefit the people, you can turn a blind eye to it, you can turn a deaf ear, but today, this carriage is in front of you, you must say, what is the use of this carriage, it is just a strange and ingenious thing......"

Zhu Di was shocked that Zhang Anshi's eloquence today is actually quite good, it seems that as long as others dare not refute, Zhang Anshi still has the ability.

It's just that Zhu Di was still shocked by the effect of this carriage, and he didn't have the heart to listen to Zhang Anshi's indignant questioning at this time.

But I heard Zhang Anshi say: "But let me tell you, this carriage of goods is ten times that of ordinary grain carts, if there is such a carriage earlier, even if Guizhou lacks horses, but it can also send military grain to the military camp of Hou Gu Cheng in Zhenyuan in time, and the soldiers can eat and drink enough, so that they can have the strength to suppress thieves." It will not lead to a mutiny in the battalion, and there will be no rout of the officers and troops. ”

"Not only that, but the amount of horses can be greatly reduced, and the manpower can also be greatly reduced. The decrease in the number of people means ...... With the reduction of attrition, what used to be done by ten people and ten horses was enough for one person and one horse, and the food and horse feed for ten people and ten horses along the way were needed, but now it only needs to be used by one person and one horse. This coming and going not only helps the army to suppress the thieves, but also saves a lot of people's power. You always keep talking about the common people, so let me ask you, what virtue did this common people lack in their last life, which has become the mantra on your lips? ”

"I hold this exhibition in the hope that I can borrow these to save people's manpower, so that the people do not have to serve so much forced labor, and replace manpower with better cars. But what has become of your mouth? ”

questioned one by one, making Zhang Youcheng speechless.

He tried to open his mouth, but found that there was not a single allusion in what he had learned in his life to justify himself at this time.

Finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "I understand, I understand......"

As he spoke, he suddenly bent down and picked up a stone.

This sudden change made Zhang An Shitong shrink suddenly.

Zhang Anshi immediately shouted: "Protect Your Majesty, protect Your Majesty......"

Although he shouted loudly, his body swished and hid behind the burly Zhu Di.

Fortunately, he has always been flexible, especially sensitive to such matters.

But...... Zhang Youcheng, who picked up the stone, held the stone in his hand, but turned a deaf ear to Zhang Anshi's call.

He took the stone, but slammed it into his own head.

Zhang Anshi breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he saw many people, he looked at him speechlessly, especially Zhu Di, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

It's just that...... That Zhang Youcheng was there, but it changed again, everyone looked at it, this Zhang Youcheng was actually bleeding from his head, and when he smashed it hard, his brain was dizzy, so he couldn't smash it, his body swayed, and he fainted directly to the ground.

Obviously, this should not be fatal.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be speechless, you still said that you Zhang Youcheng is not a waste? It's not even professional to commit suicide!

Where in the world can anyone stone himself to death? With this smash, people will faint, how can they die?

However, Zhang Anshi didn't plan to ask for his head, so he still shouted: "Go for treatment, stop the bleeding, go get alcohol, and Qi Xia's medicine, just raise it for a few days." ”

So, everyone had no choice but to carry Zhang Youcheng with their hands and feet.

As for the two of them, Kuang Yu and Wang Wenluo, seeing that Zhang Youcheng had already moved, they also went to find the stones on the ground, and then they were quickly thrown to the ground by other colleagues around them.

Zhu Di saw it and kept frowning.

Kuang Yu was pressed to the ground, but he tried to hold his head high and looked at Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has faith in his word, and since he has made a promise, how can he break his promise?" Although the minister is not talented, the word Xinyi, but he will never dare to forget, Ji Bu Yinuo is worth a thousand gold, if the minister does not die today, will not make the world laugh? Even if the minister's father learns about this and knows that the minister will not die, he will scold. ”

This Kuang Yu was hoarse and emotional, and he actually cried: "So I beg Your Majesty to give the minister a death." ”

That Wang Wenluo was also crushed to death, and the whole person was embarrassed, so he only said: "The minister is also willing to die." ”

Zhu Di's face was both happy and troubled.

Glad about the car...... He needs to study it later, and now it seems that the value of this car is far beyond his imagination.

The annoyance is...... How did it get like this?

The ministers around him all advised: "Forget it, forget it, it's just a joke." ”

"Why bother, it's just a joke."

Seeing this, Zhang Anshi was speechless for a while, he couldn't understand why these people were thinking like this, as for?

I, Zhang Anshi, have made so many bets with people, if I had to realize it every time, I would have died by now.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone, and it is nothing to be thick-skinned.

Zhang Anshi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fang is joking, I just deliberately ...... It's just to you off, to make this carriage more sensational, it's actually advertising, advertising, you know? Forget it, forget it, I have forgotten about it, and you should not have heard of it. Don't die, if you die, I'll be so scared that I can't sleep at night. I'm timid. ”

But Kuang Wei and Wang Wenluo were just crying, as if within their understanding, since they opened this mouth, it was impossible to say that they would not die.

In addition, Zhang Youcheng had already set an example, trying to push away the people who were pressing them, and then prostrate, constantly kowtowing to Zhu Di: "Please give death to Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, the two kept kowtowing, and they knocked very porcelain, and the sound of winter and winter.

Only then did Zhang Anshi realize that the other party was playing really, and his face changed greatly.

If the other party is really dead, Zhang Anshi can be regarded as a sin.

Now that I think about it, I am still Meng Lang, although I am betting with others, but Zhang Anshi ignores a problem.

That is, those who are more stubborn often can't bear this breath, and will come forward and make a bet with him Zhang Anshi.

As for the people Zhang Anshi really wanted to kill, they were extremely cunning, although they scolded Zhang Anshi a hundred times in their hearts, and even no matter what Zhang Anshi made, they still had the arrogance of the so-called scholars, but it was precisely this kind of person that they would often never stand up.

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di pitifully, hoping that Zhu Di could relieve him.

Zhu Di glared at him, then looked at the two people on the ground, and said gently: "I also listened to the jokes made by Fang Caiqing and others, as Zhang Qing said, it was just a joke, could it be that Erqing thought that if Zhang Anshi lost, then Zhu Yong was really willing to call your father?" ”

"Since it is a bet, both parties need to fulfill the gambling contract, and this Nexperia cannot fulfill the gambling contract, so why should the second secretary be so? Let this be the end of today's business. ”

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that Zhang Youcheng ...... Woke up ......"

Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "It's good to wake up......"

"But when he woke up, he still wanted to die......"

Zhu Di: "......"

At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi, and many people's eyes were a little ridiculed.

At this moment, it is really Wang Ba's pair of mung beans, and Zhang Anshi's guy can be regarded as having met a ruthless person.

Let's see how he ends.

Zhang Anshi was greatly embarrassed, so he shouted: "I declare now, if they dare to die, then I will also fulfill the gambling contract, I will teach Zhu Yong to dress these three people in linen and filial piety, and call father at the grave." ”

Come on, hurt each other.

Zhu Yong was watching the excitement from the sidelines, but when he heard this, the tiger's body was shocked, he couldn't understand the deep meaning of the eldest brother, he held his hands, tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, but he still felt that this was a ...... The more I listen, the more confusing it becomes.

Zhu Neng was heart that had just been put down, and began to slowly lift it up again, and then, the anger groove that had just been emptied began to slowly accumulate anger again.

As soon as this statement came out, to be honest...... In fact, Kuang Yu and Wang Wenluo also began to be dizzy.

What the hell is this?

We have a promise, what does it have to do with Zhu Yong's father.

………………

At the beginning of the month, I want to ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month, and I am sad.
