Under the willow tree, Xiao Han was frothing, and what he said was a promise.
Chai Shao and the others were drooling after hearing this, and they were almost stunned!
There are water hammers with the power of thousands of pounds, craftsmen with arms thicker than thighs, and all kinds of magical quenching materials.
These things they had never heard of before greatly stimulated their curiosity, so much so that they didn't even notice the face of the dog over there, which was twitching constantly...
All right.
Serve as a full participant and opinion provider.
Gouzi also knows that this rhubarb crossbow, which can be called the most powerful today, is indeed hard-won!
However, that's not as evil as what the Marquis said, right?
What does it mean that a thousand-pound water hammer was specially built to build it?
Wasn't that something already in the plan? It seems that if there was such a big yellow crossbow, those red-eyed craftsmen would be able to build it, right? !
Also, Nao Shizi’s new steel-making technology!
Gouzi admitted that this was indeed a step-by-step experiment, and more than tens of millions of materials were wasted for this.
But it seems that the final result is not just for the big yellow crossbow, right? Have you ever seen that more and more finished steel products are being sold in Sanyuan County? These are the results of those experiments!
If truth be told, the cost would have been recouped long ago just by relying on those things!
And not only these, Gouzi also knows:
The price of one of the latest four-wheeled carriages in Sanyuan County is enough for the craftsmen to experiment hundreds of times.
Speaking of this four-wheeled carriage, Gouzi couldn't help but marvel at the Marquis's genius idea again.
Just as everyone is used to it.
Sometimes I even think in my heart that the carriage should have two wheels!
However, my Marquis drew a sketch and threw it to Lao Cao, asking him to think of a way to make the things in the picture.
Lao Cao will not question Xiao Han's ideas! You may have doubted it before, but countless facts have proven that no matter how outrageous Mr. Zihou’s idea is! In the end, he will be proven right!
In fact, the technical content of four-wheeled carriages is not high. The reason why they did not exist before was because the problem of shock absorption has not been solved.
After all, running on two wheels can knock out people’s food, let alone two more wheels!
There are two more places for shock transmission, so it would be strange if the shock is even heavier!
The problem of shock absorption is not a big deal. Use new spring steel plates to support the carriage, and the vibrations can be reduced by 70%!
If you don't care about the cost and wrap a thick layer of rhinoceros skin on the wheels, it will not be much different from the cars of later generations.
Of course, in addition to shock absorption, there is another problem with the four-wheel carriage, and that is steering.
Running in one direction with four wheels is quite effortless and fast, but if you have to turn, it’s doomed!
After the first four-wheel carriage that could only go straight came out, Xiao Han immediately discovered this fatal flaw.
However, having seen a universal wheel, he quickly figured out a way to change the relationship between the first axle and the carriage from a fixed one to a rotatable one.
In this way, the two windlass in the first row can turn freely with the horses pulling the cart in front.
After all the problems were fixed, the first new four-wheeled carriage was launched and immediately attracted a large number of people to watch.
The well-informed Chang'an people saw such a carriage for the first time in their lives:
The carriage is made of birch wood and is inlaid with silver. Four large wheels are neatly arranged under the carriage, and are pulled by two horses in front.
When running, crossing the mountain road is like walking on flat ground, and running for hundreds of miles is as steady as an old dog... ahem, as steady as Mount Tai!
How much would such a carriage cost?
Butler Lu thought about how to get a hundred strings, after all, a good war horse is still worth the money!
As a result, Xiao Han decided directly, the minimum was one thousand guan, without any bargaining!
In his words: What Sanyuan County sells has never been commodities, but a noble life!
Just buy a carriage for a thousand copper coins?
As soon as this price came out, most people watching the excitement thought the people in Sanyuan County were crazy!
Just when they were waiting to see the people in Miyuan County, the last one could not be sold and they finally went home in despair.
Secretly, Butler Lu has already received a stack of orders.
And among these orders, you can’t see the cheapest one at all, almost everyone specifies the most expensive one!
"Young man, your dog?! Why are you still standing there? Go back and keep an eye on my gold, uh, no, it's my big yellow crossbow!"
Just when Gouzi's thoughts drifted to Sanyuan County, Cheng Yaojin's sudden voice instantly brought him back to reality.
"Your big yellow crossbow?"
Gouzi, who was thinking about money and carriages, had not yet reacted. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Cheng Yaojin blowing his beard and glaring:
"Nonsense! If you are an errand under me, don't you take care of this thing? If you accidentally touch such a precious thing, and your Lord Marquis asks me for money, where can I raise gold for him? I will sell myself to pay off the debt. ?”
Cheng Yaojin was speaking confidently, but Xiao Han next to him suddenly followed up in a strange tone: "No, no, no, you are worthless if you sell yourself. Even at the market price, you can't sell a pound for thirty cents..."
"What's thirty cents per pound?"
Cheng Yaojin didn't react at first, but when he thought about it carefully!
Thirty cents? Isn't this the price of pork?
"Wow, good boy, you called me, old Cheng, a pig!" Cheng Yaojin's beard stood up and he glared at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han suddenly felt that he seemed to have overestimated his own strength, and quickly stepped back: "No, really not! Ah..."
But soon, someone’s screams echoed in the sky above Luokou City and could not be dispersed for a long time...
Chang'an City, Sanyuan County.
Xue Pan was lazily leaning on the chair at this time, flipping through the account books in front of her. Nowadays, she rarely returns to her home in Chang'an.
Most of the time, he was in the Xiao Mansion, quietly watching the huge sums of money gathering here like a flowing stream.
"Miss, it's too hot today, can we get some ice?" Xiao Ai complained while shaking the fan for Xue Pan.
The ice cubes that had been transported in the morning had now melted into shards, and the sweltering heat of summer had returned to the house.
Xue Pan frowned, put down the account book and said: "No, Xiao Han said, ice cubes cannot be used frequently for cooling! It can easily irritate the body, and you will suffer when you get older!"
When Xiao Ai heard that he couldn't take ice cubes, Lao Gao immediately pouted. He twisted his hands and said, "Then how about I go make a pot of custard mountain and come back to eat it? I just saw that there are dried fruits on the custard mountain made by Xiao Shi. You’ll love the food!”
"Haha, do I like to eat, or do you like to eat?" Xue Pan naturally knew what Xiao Ai was thinking, and asked with a half-smile.
When someone exposed his thoughts, Xiao Ai immediately blushed, stamped his feet on the ground and said, "Of course you like to eat, I... I just have to take a look!"
Looking at Xiao Ai who was angry and ashamed, Xue Pan suppressed his smile and nodded: "Well, this is what you said! Go get a piece of Sushan, I will eat it while you watch..."
Xiao Ai's eyes widened, she grabbed Xue Pan's shoulders and shook her: "Miss~"
Xue Pan couldn't stand this, and after being shaken a few times, he quickly said: "Okay, okay, stop shaking, let's eat it! I'll leave it to you!"
Xiao Ai was finally happy now and helped Xue Pan tidy up her wrinkled clothes: "Hey, Miss, you're the best! She's the best person in the world! I'll get some delicious food for you right now!"
Seeing Xiao Ai jumping out of the room happily, Xue Pan shook his head and let out a sigh of relief.
This silly girl, even at this age, still only knows how to eat and play, and never thinks about what will happen in the future.
"Hey... I don't know if Xiao Han is hot or not in such a far place. Is there any danger?"
