Chapter 341: Building a Bicycle
Along the way, Wang Cuicui didn't dare to say anything, and finally left with Cao Ren.
On the other side, Xi Yu suddenly remembered a question, he had been in Youzhou for many days.
Basically, there is nothing to do, and I should have gone back early.
And now he is suffering from lovesickness.
After all, the ladies were not around. He finally understood that when Cao Cao once went to attack Zhang Xiu, he fell in love with Zhang Rust's daughter-in-law, because he was also burning with lust at that time.
He also rushed to the road at that time and said to Cao Cao to pay attention to him, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to it at all.
Now I'm suffering from it myself.
On this day, Xi Yu received a letter from Xi Zhicai.
After all, the two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and the letter expresses their concern for him.
Other than that, there is no serious talk about anything.
Xi Yu also quickly replied, saying that it was almost winter, and he hoped that his brother would practice more five-bird opera, and pay attention to heating.
Come to think of it, after all, I haven't seen my brother for a long time.
Xi Yu planned to leave tomorrow, but one thing left him behind.
On this day, I received information that there was a flood in a certain place, but this time it was true.
Xi Yu and Guan Yu came to the flood-stricken area in person.
The floods flooded seven or eight homes.
Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Xi Yu asked Guan Yu to count the affected areas, and then to compensate the villagers.
At this moment, many people felt very moved.
Something similar happened before, how could those officials do it so well?
Even if the court has the current silver, these officials think that it is themselves, how can they care about the life and death of the common people?
Xi Yu felt that he had just done some small things, and many ordinary people knelt down for him.
"Guys, get up, this is what I should do."
Xi Yu helped them to get up, and remembered that he had talked to Cao Cao about the prosperous era once.
Cao Cao thought that the rule of Wenjing in the current dynasty was already considered a prosperous era, but Xi Yu said that the prosperous era needed was to let the people eat enough, which seemed to be a simple thing but it was difficult to achieve.
In fact, as long as you do it honestly for the people, the people will be grateful to you.
It's been several years since I unknowingly traveled into this world.
Xi Yu has completely regarded this place as his own family.
Finally busy in the evening, Guan Yu fell ill because of some fatigue and a little cold weather.
"I was going to leave tomorrow, so let's walk here for a few days." Said jokingly.
"Xigong, don't let me affect everyone's process." Guan Yu coughed as he spoke.
"Alright, don't think about it so much, I've decided to stay here for two more days."
And Xi Yu decided to get medicine for Guan Yu.
"Xigong, you want to go and get me medicine in person"?
"Yes, I'll get it for you myself."
Guan Yu felt flattered.
Such a trivial matter can be handled by sending a small soldier casually.
I really don't understand why Xi Yu went in person.
And now Xi Yu just wants to make his conscience uneasy.
"It's already so late, I don't want to trouble others, I can't sleep anyway, so you don't care."
After that, Xi Yu rode a horse and rushed out quickly, and Guan Yu's tears flowed out.
The drama is so good to himself, but he also took poison and wanted to harm him, which is really undeserved.
And the point is that after a while, it actually started to drizzle, and Xi Yu probably didn't have an umbrella, so wouldn't he also catch a cold?
Guan Yu suddenly felt that he was too much of a thing, and he wanted to get up and chase after him, but his body was really lazy.
is really sick, I can't imagine that his dignified galloping battlefield has reached this point.
He began to cry in the house.
After a while, a soldier came to the door and asked, "Master Guan, what's wrong with you?" ”
He immediately stopped crying.
When Xi Yu was halfway there, it suddenly rained, and he immediately stopped his horse, then took off his coat and put it on his head as an umbrella.
I remembered playing outside when I was a child in my previous life, and when I encountered a rainy day, didn't I do the same?
The two lives are like being separated from each other.
Xi Yu finally rode a horse and found Lang Zhong.
He regretted it a little, and next time he should take Hua Tuo with him and let him be a military doctor with the army.
He roughly described Guan Yu's condition and hoped that Lang Zhong would prescribe some medicine.
As soon as Lang Zhong finished prescribing the medicine, a man suddenly walked in, saying that his father was seriously ill and hoped to invite Lang Zhong over quickly.
When Na Langzhong saw the rainy day, he didn't want to go out at all.
"I beg you, Lang Zhong, can I spend some more money? Please, you must come with me to see my father."
Lang Zhong regretted a little, after all, he has always been a parent.
Xi Yu said: "I have a way, prepare the umbrella, and I can take the two of you on a horse, won't I?" ”
At this moment, both of them were dumbfounded, they didn't expect him to be so kind.
Lang Zhong said, "Don't you also have a patient?" ”
"But I feel that his father should be more important, stop talking nonsense, hurry up."
The two of them thanked each other for their kindness, and Lang Zhong hurriedly prepared a few umbrellas and immediately got on Xiyu's horse.
Xi Yu finally succeeded in sending Lang Zhong to the man's home.
And told Lang Zhong that if he couldn't go back, he would just stay here.
And he hurried back and gave the medicine to Guan Yu.
When I came to Guan Yu's room, the rain had just stopped.
Xi Yu thought to himself, all this rain has been given to him.
Guan Yu had already fainted.
Xi Yu personally soaked him in medicine, and then helped him drink it.
Guan Yu finally woke up, and felt flattered when he saw Xi Yu feeding himself medicine.
"Okay, don't say anything, you drink the medicine, as long as you are well, I will be relieved."
And the medicine in this Lang is also very effective, and by the next day, Guan Yu was almost alive.
He came to Xi Yu's room, and there was the medicine that Yue Tian had given him hidden in his cuffs.
"Thank you so much for what happened last night."
"Guan Yu, I see that your complexion has improved a lot."
"Yes, Xi Gong, if you hadn't personally fed me medicine yesterday, I'm afraid I would have died."
Xi Yu laughed, how could he say it so exaggeratedly.
"As I said, you are my right-hand man, and I should be good to you. Alright, you can go back and get some rest."
However, Guan Yu quickly knelt down, of course Xi Yu knew it, but he deliberately showed a very surprised look.
"Guan Yu, what are you doing here?" He tried to hold Guan Yu's shoulder.
"Xigong, don't call me, I'm a big sinner, you listen to me finish speaking, otherwise I can't kneel down."
At this time, Zhou Yu was about to walk in, and when he saw this scene, he felt very surprised.
Xi Yu waved at him and told him to stay away first.
"Okay, if Guan Yu has anything to say, tell me."
Guan Yu then took out a packet of medicine.
"This is a package of harmful medicine, someone gave it to his subordinates, and he wanted his subordinates to go to the food of the drama gong and kill the drama father, and the subordinates were still a little hesitant at that time."
Xi Yu took it, smiled slightly, and then sat down and said, "This person's name is Yue Tian, right?" ”
Guan Yu's eyes were bigger than a copper bell, how did the drama know about this matter?
Oh my God, it turns out that he knows everything, isn't he just a clown?
I thought I was hiding it well.
"Guan Yu, let me tell you the truth, I already knew about this matter, and I also knew that you would get the right choice in the end."
Guan Yu looked extremely excited, if someone else knew about it, he would have killed himself a long time ago.
But the drama is obviously willing to give himself a chance.
His tears were already stained all over his face, his eyes were squeezed out, and many more tears fell.
"Xigong, Guan Yu is not a person, I hope you will punish him."
"Okay, you get up quickly, everyone is confused sometimes, I hope to keep a clear head in the future, and this time you didn't make a big mistake."
Guan Yu finally got up, he could imagine that if he really did something wrong this time, he would really die without a place to be buried.
And Xi Yu said that he would never tell anyone about this matter, hoping that Guan Yu would have a number in his heart.
Xi Yu suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.
It was the man who asked Lang Zhong to see his father, but he almost missed something.
Although this is a trivial matter, it makes Xi Yu's heart unable to calm down.
If you don't ride a horse yourself, you might have delayed things.
But such people can't afford to buy horses, and even if they do, they may not be able to afford them.
He said that he wanted to think about the people, but he felt very ashamed of this matter.
When he followed Cao Cao, he once invented the Quyuan plow for the production of the people.
But then it seems that he rarely went to inquire about the affairs of the people in person.
In this day and age, there were no more advanced means of transportation. Sometimes, people's travel is a problem.
By the way, he wants to invent a bicycle, so that it will be much more convenient for people to travel, although sometimes the bicycle will run faster than a horse, but at least it is much better than raising a sheep and a horse.
This only needs to be carefully pumped, and there is no need to feed any forage, which is also a lot of wealth for the people.
When he thought of this, he was very excited, so he planned to go to Ouyang Fu's house to discuss it with him.
Ouyang Fu heard the grapevine that Xi Yu was about to leave, and it seemed that his wish was destined not to come true.
The daughter just doesn't like Xi Yu, and he has no choice, when he was still in a daze, the housekeeper suddenly reported that Xi Yu had arrived.
"What? The drama prince actually came, did he come to propose"?
When the housekeeper heard his question, he immediately felt ridiculous, and the master was really stunned.
"Master, the little one doesn't know, anyway, the drama is empty-handed."
"In that case, why don't you hurry up and invite me in, no, I'll go out and greet you personally."
When I came to the gate, I saw Xi Yu holding his hands behind his back.
"Oh, Xigong, why did you come in person, just go in directly to the cold house, why are you waiting outside"?
"It's rude to just break in, so you have to agree with the head of the family."
"The drama is polite, please hurry up."
After Xi Yu entered the hall, the two of them were polite at first, and just as Ouyang Linlin was about to come to find his father, they heard laughter.
When she heard the voice of Xi Yu, she was immediately very angry.
Although he exposed Lu Xiaochuan's behavior, she didn't like Xi Yu at all.
Now let's see what Xi Yu does.
"I don't know why the drama man came to the cold house this time"?
"I heard some time ago that you went downhill in business, I wonder if there is such a thing?"
When Ouyang Fu heard this question, he immediately felt very embarrassed, and he didn't want to say it.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to laugh at you, I'm here to provide you with a better way to do business."
Ouyang Fu's eyes lit up suddenly.
Xi Yu can still know how to do business, and he can also guide himself.
"In that case, Xi Gong, please speak."
So Xi Yu told him about the bicycle, and at the same time he asked the housekeeper to bring some paper and pen, and he drew the shape of the bicycle on the paper.
"People sit in this seat, and then they can push these two pedals back and forth with two feet, and then the wheels can move."
After Xi Yu finished painting, he carefully explained to the two people, after all, this thing was very abstract for them.
"Oh, there is such a magical thing in this world, I don't know where I saw it?"
Xi Yu had no choice but to say that he designed it himself.
The housekeeper and Ouyang Fu were very happy, if this thing really came out, maybe it would really be good for human beings, and it would also cause a scientific and technological revolution.
So, Ouyang Fu stammered and joked, saying that he was really very smart, and he actually came up with such an idea.
"Xi Gong is not only very brave in battle, but I can't imagine that he will make such an invention, which is very admirable."
Xi Yu was not fascinated by his sycophant words.
He immediately went to a craftsman to design it, and he listed all the materials he needed on paper.
When the time comes, you will personally guide you.
After inventing the bicycle, let Ouyang Fu do this kind of business.
And because this is designed for most people, the price can't be too expensive.
But Ouyang Fu can't be allowed to lose money, so official subsidies are needed.
So the people only need to be responsible for a part of the money, and the rest is done with subsidies.
And the bikes are numbered. Those who do not have a number are not allowed on the road. At the same time, it is necessary to train some maintenance personnel.
"Xigong, you are really thoughtful."
Ouyang Fu was very excited, he could imagine that this business was definitely good for him to make a lot of money.
And after Ouyang Linlin heard this, she also felt very surprised.
She didn't know exactly what it was, but she could imagine it after listening to a few conversations.
Soon, she returned to her room and told Xiaohong everything she had just done.
Xiaohong said, "Miss, what the hell is this?" ”
"All I've heard is that it's called a bicycle, and it looks like there's a seat and a welded plate or something. But I didn't eavesdrop too much, for fear of being found out by them. ”
And Xiaohong said that she is also looking forward to the invention of this kind of thing soon, maybe she can use it herself.
Suddenly, Xiaohong said, "Miss, are you very interested in the affairs of the drama father?" ”
"Hey, how are you talking nonsense? I'm just hearing this weird, so I'm just telling you. ”
However, Ouyang Linlin herself didn't notice that she didn't seem to hate Xi Yu so much anymore.
She found that Xi Yu was indeed a good official who worked for the people.
In the past, she used to go to the temple with Xiaohong to explain the Buddha.
Sometimes on the road, I often see people who are suffering deeply.
Moreover, I have seen people being beaten by officials, and I also know a little about the situation of officials and ordinary people.
At that time, she was looking forward to some good officials, but she knew that the situation was chaotic.
And many people are thinking about fighting for territory, who will care about the lives of the people? Other than that, there is no serious talk about anything.
Xi Yu also quickly replied, saying that it was almost winter, and he hoped that his brother would practice more five-bird opera, and pay attention to heating.
In this way, this drama is indeed a little different.
Xi Yu told Ouyang Fu that since he had decided, he would act immediately.
"Okay, drama master, leave the matter of finding a craftsman to the housekeeper."
Ouyang Fu asked the housekeeper to hurry up to find the craftsman.
Soon a craftsman named Liu Xiaoer was found.
Xi Yu took a special look at the hands of this craftsman, who had already ground out the cocoons, and it seemed that he worked regularly, and he was also in his thirties.
Xi Yu asked him some questions, and learned that Liu Xiaoer was an ancestral craftsman for several generations.
Xi Yu said: "Since the housekeeper trusts you so much, I will give you a big job, and you can make a fortune." ”
But Liu Xiaoer looked at Ouyang Fu, because he didn't know who Xi Yu was.
"This is the drama man, you should feel very honored that he can cultivate you."
When Liu Xiaoer heard that it was a drama father, he quickly knelt down.
"The little one has long heard of the prestige of the drama father, but I didn't expect to be able to see it, it's really ......"
He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, don't get excited, get up."
Xi Yu handed over all his drawings to him.
And I told him about the process of making a bicycle.
Liu Xiaoer's eyes widened.
"Drama Gong, there is such a complicated thing, what is this name?"
The actor also explained to him.
"Iron is needed to make most of this stuff anyway. Is it difficult for you? ”
If it was any other job, Liu Xiaoer naturally did not hesitate, but he had never touched this bicycle himself.
So he said he would do as much as he could.
"I'm sure you'll make it, so I'll give you ten days to build your first bike, how about that?"
"Well, the villain will definitely do his best".
Xi Yu nodded, and let him take the drawings with him.
After that, he also got up, and Ouyang Fu asked.
"Drama Gong, are you leaving recently?"
"I was going to go, but I'd better wait until the bike comes out." (End of chapter)
