Chapter 77: The Master of Easy Learning who drove the car
Early the next morning, Ma Hanshan left Zhang San and Li Si at the Gaosheng Inn, and then rented a "taxi" with Qi Nanyue and Shen Hua to go to the Xiangfan branch of the Ruyi Warehouse.
Don't think that taxis are only available in modern society, in fact, the business of taxis and passenger cars has existed in ancient dynasties very early. Even in the "dark" era of the Tang Dynasty, the business of renting a car was very developed.
Slightly different from modern times, modern taxis were automobiles, while taxis at that time were horses, donkeys, mules, or ox carts.
Oh, there was a time when the taxi was a rickshaw in the old days of Mahan Mountain. However, in this era, there is another taxi equivalent to a rickshaw, and that is the sedan chair.
Rickshaws are the lowest and cheapest means of transportation at a certain time. However, contrary to the modern society of that time, the sedan chair that used manpower in this era was the "high-end taxi".
Because it was a short trip, they rented a donkey cart in Mahanshan.
After Ma Hanshan got on the donkey cart, he suddenly entered the mode of entering the state, Qi Nanyue knew that he was thinking about things again, of course, Shen Hua also knew, she rolled her eyes, extremely disdainful of his mode, what to do if he was attacked by others at this time.
Ma Hanshan was really thinking about things, and he suddenly remembered that the rickshaw that had been a smash hit in a certain period of history could not be built in this world? He will soon be able to build, for the construction of a rickshaw, with the current "technical strength" of the tile cylinder village, there are only two problems, can not mass produce bearings, there is not a lot of rubber.
After the alcohol was refined, Ma Hanshan used Eucommia ulmoides to extract Eucommia gum, which can basically replace rubber in terms of function, but the amount of gum in Eucommia is too low, and the average content of the highest content of Eucommia ulmoides bark is only 167 percent. The most terrible thing is that Eucommia ulmoides gum cannot be cut like rubber, but the tree must be cut down to take the skin and make rubber.
So, again, he insisted that people go to Johor, Java and other places to find new species, and he hoped that these places would already be visited by the Francois and bring crops like oak trees, corn and so on.
"Mr. Qi, how is the matter of going to sea?" Ma Hanshan woke up from his meditation and asked Qi Nanyue.
"A few days ago, Shen Lang said that he had contacted people in Minzhou who were willing to go to sea, but they were just boats... Their ship is too small ....... Qi Nanyue paused for a moment and said, "What they mean is that let's pay for the shipbuilding." ”
"Is that guy reliable?" It didn't matter if he paid for the ship, but he needed to know if the man was reliable.
"According to Shen Lang's investigation, the people are not bad, their fleet has been to the Wa Kingdom a few times at the farthest, but then because the ship is old, I am afraid that something will happen, so I didn't go." Qi Nanyue said.
"Well, let Company Commander Shen inform them to come to Lin'an for a trip, I want to meet them, if they are reliable, we will buy a boat immediately and let them go to sea." Mahanshan is very anxious, if these species are found, Dasong can change in five years.
"Good ......." Qi Nanyue nodded and said.
The communication system of the tile pot village has not yet been established in Xiangfan, so if you write a letter back to the village in Xiangfan, the fastest way is to go through the channel of the Ruyi warehouse, or send someone to return to the village directly.
"Mr. Qi has one more thing, you ask Shen Langdang how he did it, it's been so long, why hasn't a liaison station been built in such an important place as Xiangfan?" Ma Hanshan was very angry and said, "After going back and meeting with Gai Rencong, go to Xiangweixuan again, and the liaison station will be built in Xiangweixuan." ”
"Young master, it's better to build in Xiangweixuan than to build in Gaosheng, Gaosheng is more suitable, and I know the owner of Gaosheng." Qi Nanyue suggested.
"Well, you're in charge, but you have to be quick." Ma Hanshan nodded and said.
The donkey cart is driving leisurely on the street, in fact, it is the same speed as a person walking, and the long-legged person may be a little faster than it, this kind of "taxi" is very suitable for a spring outing by car, you can slowly look at the scenery on the side of the road. Fortunately, Mahanshan is not in a hurry now, and he happened to see the scenery on the street all the way.
"Mr. Qi, do you know anything about Xiangfan's officialdom? What do you think of Gai Rencong and Lu Wenkuan? After a moment of silence, Mahanshan spoke again.
"Well... Good officer... If it weren't for Lord Gai's foresight, foresight, and abundant armaments, Fan Dutong and General Lu would not have been able to stop Hu Gou's invasion and attack at all. All the people of Xiangfan Mansion hope that Lord Gai can know Xiangfan forever. It's a pity that the traitors in the DPRK and China are in power, and they always murder these capable military generals, and recently there is news that Lord Gai is going to be transferred. Qi Nanyue hadn't spoken yet, and the handlebar style of the car actually rushed to pick up the conversation, praising Gai Rencong for being a good official.
"Hehe, uncle, who is Fan Dutong?" Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Jinghu is the ruler of Lord Fan." Handlebar type said.
"Oh, Lord Fan... Uncle, you just said that Master Gai was going to be transferred? Is it a promotion or a flat transfer? "Mahansan is a person who is good at capturing information, and this information is important to him.
"I heard that it was a bright rise and a secret fall, and I want to be transferred back to the capital to be a sacrificial wine... What a mess, Lord Gai managed Xiangfan well, but transferred him back to make wine, what bullshit to transfer his life, it's really a faint king. "Well, this handlebar style is actually the same as Ma Hanshan, so bold and reckless, he dares to scold the emperor.
"Uncle, be cautious, if those traitors and corrupt officials hear it, they will definitely cut off your head." Ma Hanshan hurriedly persuaded.
Your uncle, what kind of emperor are you scolding with a handlebar, aren't you really afraid of death?
Although the position of the prince of the country is not really powerful, the sacrificial wine is in charge of the teaching of the highest institution of learning, and the prince's teacher is also among these people, so although he has no real power, the influence is great. As for Da Song's official position, Ma Hanshan has studied it, and he thinks that the handlebar style may have been misheard, if those traitors want to be transferred to Gai Rencong, they will definitely not give the position of sacrificial wine.
"Hehe, the old man has a little study of physiognomy, and the son is by no means a person who chews the root of his tongue, let alone a traitor, so the old man dares to talk nonsense." Handlebar style laughs.
"Uncle, you still know physiognomy? Sure enough, it's a master in the folk. Although Ma Hanshan sighed, he was a little unimpressed.
"Childe doesn't believe it? Because the old man is just a driver. The handlebar turned his head to look at Ma Hanshan and said, "Is the son both parents lost?" Did Childe suffer from a serious illness a year ago and almost died in Huangquan? Childe is thirsty for talent, just to achieve his great ambitions....... ”
Eh, does this uncle really know how to read physiognomy? Can you really see a person's future by looking at their faces?
"So, uncle, can my ideals be realized?" Ma Hanshan put away his disdain.
"Childe, the old man only has a little dabbling in appearance, but "Zhou Yi" has been studying for twenty or thirty years." The handlebar closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, opened his eyes for a moment and said, "Childe, you better turn back, go here, and you won't see the person you want to see." ”
"Oh? It's true? "Ma Hanshan is interested, damn, he has met a lot of so-called "Zhou Yi" people in his previous life, but he has never believed in this fun, so he has never communicated with them. Unexpectedly, this handlebar style is also easy to learn.
"The old man dares to bet three catties of drunken immortal wine with his son." When the handlebar said this, he actually swallowed his saliva and licked his lips, obviously, this old guy is an alcoholic.
"Haha, okay, okay, if the uncle wins, I will invite the uncle to drink a month's drunken fairy wine, and if I win, the uncle only needs to accompany me to have a drink." Ma Hanshan laughed.
When Qi Nanyue heard this, he knew that Ma Hanshan was going to accept people again, so he couldn't help but take a closer look at the handlebar style.
His appearance is not outstanding, whether he is a real person who does not show his face, it depends on whether he is really accurate.
"Really... Ha ha... Good... If Childe invites me to drink wine for a month, the old man is willing to count one thing for Childe every day. The handlebar type laughed too, and was very happy.
"One side is decided." Ma Hanshan raised his palm and struck it on the handlebar.
After the high-five, Ma Hanshan realized that he was really careless just now, this uncle is not at all like a "taxi" begging for a living, although his clothes are old, but they are very neat, and his hands are not long-term drivers, and his demeanor... Damn, it's a "black" one.
But since this black man is not in a car to make a living, why did he let them get in the car? He didn't "refuse to ride".
Well, this uncle is kind of interesting.
Finally arrived at the semicolon of the Ruyi Warehouse in the east of the city, and as the old man said, the shopkeeper of the warehouse went out yesterday and had to wait until tomorrow to come back.
If you can't see the people who talk here, it's actually equivalent to not seeing the people Mahanshan wants to see, and the old guy is right.
Oh, it's amazing, this uncle who drives the donkey cart can really calculate it.
Ma Hanshan lost, but he was very happy to lose.
Of course, because he thinks this uncle is a talent.
In Ma Hanshan's previous life, none of the women he fell in love could escape. In his life, he is not allowed to run away from any of the talents he likes.
"Huahua, this donkey cart, did you rent it from a carriage and horse shop?" Ma Hanshan pulled Shen Hua aside and whispered.
"I found it at the door of the carriage shop... When I went to the carriage and horse shop, he happened to stop ...... outside the carriage and horse shop. Shen Hua said.
"Oh... Sure enough, it's a black taxi, it's really ....... Mahanshan was even happier.
Coming out of the Ruyi warehouse, Ma Hanshan walked to the donkey cart and pulled the handlebar out of the car.
"Uncle, come down, come down quickly...... Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"What do you mean, Childe?" The handlebar style is inexplicable.
"It's not interesting, I just want to bow down to you solemnly." Ma Hanshan saw that the handlebar refused to come down, so he bowed directly to him and said, "Uncle, you won, from today onwards, I will take care of your wine for a month." But, uncle, you have to tell me your first name. ”
"Ouch, I can't help it, I can't help it, this is the longevity of the old man." The handlebar type hurriedly jumped out of the car and returned the salute to Ma Hanshan, while saying, "The old man's surname is Lai Mingwenjin, and the word Chongzhou." ”
"Huh? Mr. is Mr. Shao Yong, the master of Yixue, and Mr. Shao Yong is the master of Lai Chongzhou? But why do you ....... As soon as the handlebar-style words fell, Qi Nanyue next to him exclaimed.
"The ancestor is indeed Mr. Shao Yong... It's just that... Chongzhou's teaching time was very short, and then he was the senior brother to pass on the art on behalf of the teacher, but unfortunately his qualifications were not good, and he had not learned anything, which was really ashamed of his teacher. As for catching a car... Haha, this car is a car for a long trip, please can't afford to catch a car, so I became a coachman, meet kind people, and it is also good to earn a few dollars by the way. Lai Wenjin hugged his fists and said to Qi Nanyue, his face full of pride.
Qi Nanyue was a little confused, Dasong's most famous master of Yi Xue actually wanted to drive a car to make money for wine? Are you lying to me to play?
