Chapter 127: Failures and Turns
…
With Chen Xi's operation, in Liu Tong's surprised gaze, the frames of ten damaged ox carts were all placed at the door of the Civil Science and Technology Research Center.
Lu Min, who was manipulated by Liu Tong, looked at this scene and directly began to ask the reason.
After hearing the real reason for the damage to these vehicles, Lu Min could only grit his teeth and choose normal compensation.
A normal bullock cart frame was indeed able to withstand a weight of forty tons, but something unexpected happened.
In the process of Zhang Fei and Xu Chu building the road, with the help of the ox cart, the speed of road construction was indeed much faster, but it still couldn't keep up with the speed of Zhang Fei and Xu Chu's road construction.
Under the prompting of a kind person, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu realized that in addition to using oxen to pull the frame, they could also pull it themselves.
Randomly stuffed the entire ox cart with stones, and Zhang Fei and Xu Chu easily pulled it away.
Although the speed is very fast, there is no difference between two people and other ox carts, and the stones they can carry are the same.
Later, at the prompting of a well-wisher, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu remembered that they could raise the fence next to the frame, so that they could load more stones and haul more things in fewer times.
It may be a little difficult to make an ox cart frame, but a simple heightened hoarding is still quite simple, and a few soldiers can complete it at random.
In this case, with the efforts of Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, the height of the hoarding increased higher and higher.
Then the weight that the frame can load far exceeds forty tons, and these frames themselves are redundant, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu didn't care, they just broke one and replaced the other, and they didn't need to pay for repairs, so they were naturally fearless.
Ten of them were reimbursed in just one week, and the frames of these ten oxcarts are now in front of the Civil Science and Technology Research Center.
After Lu Min understood the reason, he didn't say anything like refusal or compensation, but nodded seriously, and then began to make frames for compensation.
There is not a small amount of manpower required to make the frame, but the food consumption is provided by the government, and the rest of the money is paid by Liu Tong himself.
But after saying that the production was better, Liu Tong could only bite the bullet and spend a lot of money to buy steel from Chen Xi.
Then the materials were added to the furnace and rebuilt, and the proportion of really excellent steel was kept secret even in later generations, but those that were made public were not lacking in excellent existence.
Liu Tong relied on a special transaction with his friends to successfully obtain this information and make a powerful alloy steel.
These alloys are then mounted on the frame to strengthen the wheels and secure the bones.
Just a hundred ox cart frames, Liu Tong put more than 20 million yuan into it, and it can only be said that steel in this era is really expensive.
The most excessive thing is that this steel was kindly sold to her by Chen Xi, and after the compensation was completed, Liu Tong immediately reacted to the situation.
Then that night, Liu Tong made a puppet and sandbags, and hung Chen Xi's name.
Of course, because of Liu Tong's normal compensation behavior, he was unanimously recognized by the Government Affairs Department and was re-fished out of the blacklist, which can be regarded as one of the gains.
As for the other gain, it comes from the improvement of credibility, and it is estimated that it is gone.
However, something happened after that, and Liu Tong was pulled into the blacklist again.
As Liu Bei inspected the streets and alleys, visited the people everywhere, and understood the needs of the people, what problems need to be solved?
In this case, Liu Bei unconsciously came to the north of the city, looking at the sign on the courtyard, Liu Bei was also curious, and then entered it.
Under Lu Min's warm hospitality, Liu Bei saw the frame of the ox cart.
Looking at the simple oxcart frame, Liu Bei had a lot of curiosity in his heart, and Liu Bei, who showed curiosity, was observed by Lu Min.
"Xuande Gong, summer is here now, the weather is hot, if you prepare a bullock cart frame for the Wenchens, and install a greenhouse at that time, wouldn't it be able to escape the heat?" Lu Min hurriedly motioned to the people on the side to install a shed for the leaking frame.
Liu Bei looked at it and nodded, this idea seemed to be quite good, but then after thinking about it, the ministers seemed to have their own carriages, and they didn't seem to need these.
Lu Min looked at the hesitation on Liu Bei's face, and hurriedly took advantage of the victory to chase after him and said, "The ox cart has a wide frame, which is convenient for resting, and you can also get some rest on the way to and from work, so as to have more energy." ”
After finishing speaking, Lu Min beckoned again, and the craftsman not far away saw this and carried a large number of things into the frame, including seats, cushions, beds, desks, and even bookshelves.
Liu Bei was a little surprised when he looked at this scene, he could stuff so many things into it, and it looked a little empty.
Listening to Lu Min's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of Chen Xi, after all, Chen Xi worked hard to this extent every day, and it seemed good if he could rest on the way to and from work.
Lu Min looked at Liu Bei, who had not yet made a decision, and directly made the last move, waving his hand again.
Unlike the previous craftsmen, the craftsmen who came this time were all carrying one big board after another, and they were out of breath just by running over.
But without the slightest delay, these large boards were quickly inserted into the frame, and then fixed and connected.
"Xuande Gong, now Fenggaocheng is mixed with people and many laborers, and no one knows what the people inside were like in the past, so I installed these." Lu Min looked at these big boards and was quite satisfied.
"Oh, what's the use of that?" Liu Bei looked at the frame of the bullock cart that was completely fenced, it was more like a carriage at this time, and looked at Lu Min puzzled.
"Xuande Gong, please stand back, I'll let others conduct experiments." Lu Min hurriedly said, and at the same time signaled a farther position.
Liu Bei took a look, did not refuse, and walked over directly, and Lu Min followed.
As Liu Bei arrived at the location, he found that there was a small crossbow machine in this place, and he looked at Lu Min puzzled.
If you didn't know that this place was an official place, with this crossbow machine, everyone present would be doomed.
"Xuande Gong, please take a look at the effect." Lu Min directly pulled the crossbow machine that was placed in place through the winch on the side, and then put in the crossbow arrow, aimed it at the frame of the ox cart, and directly pulled the trigger.
"Bang" With a deafening sound from the crossbow machine, the crossbow arrows on it were fired directly, colliding with the huge coaming of the oxcart frame, producing a huge collision sound.
