Hearing Yu Jixuan's words, Xu Mou, who had always looked calm, couldn't help but change his expression.
Because Yu Jihan drank tea and replied calmly: "It's very simple. There are no names of the two families on the merit monument."
A slap in the face rather than a slap in the face, Yu Jihan's move was just to slap the two families in the face.
The two families worked hard to build Chidao. If their names were not on the merit monument, it would be the biggest embarrassment in the world.
"Then you don't want to be promoted either." Xu Mou was furious and was about to blurt out these words.
But he immediately covered his mouth, chirped, and swallowed what he wanted to say.
If you say this, both parties will break up and there will be no room for turning back.
After all, it was their two families who took the first step in rectifying their losses this time, and Yu Jihan refuted the rogue behavior of the Xie family and the Xu family one by one.
These words were not only difficult for Xu Xiao to answer, but also for him, a well-thought-out staff member.
Yu Jihan's question to Xu Xiao is in response to the classic saying that you can travel all over the world with reason, but you can't move even without reason.
After the two sides, who were most worried about Xu Mou, broke up, Xu Yue's path became a world-famous evil path.
Now Zhaojiazhuang was the one he had worked so hard to invite. It would embarrass them at most, but he must not offend them.
If Zhaojiazhuang leaves, won't he slap himself in the face?
Chidao is Xu Yue's most important political achievement project, and it is also the promotion road for Xu Yue and Xu Mou. Which one is more important, at least he still knows this.
Thinking of this, he coughed to cover himself up and drank tea wholeheartedly.
In less than an hour, Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo each came to the meeting hall with more than a dozen of their men, obviously trying to overwhelm the other with their momentum.
Different from the Xie family and the Xu family, Zheng Facai, the shopkeeper of the Dianli work section, and Qian Duoduo, the classmate of Xu Yue, only brought two subordinates, while Lu Gao, the Chen family's work section, did not bring a single subordinate, which seemed simple in quality.
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo bowed their hands together and sang a promise to everyone around them: "To inform the general shopkeeper and the chief registrar, there is something important at the construction site (home). I have only come now. Please forgive me."
"We summoned all the shopkeepers today because of the unified standards, which led to the chaos of different repairs and turned Chidao into a slow road. I just thought of a way to unify the construction of Chidao." Seeing the shopkeepers of all the sections gathered, Jia Li coughed and made an opening statement.
Seeing that Xiong Shan, the shopkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang, was sitting on the main seat, Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo immediately quit.
Xie Fangbai stood up from his seat first: "Shopkeeper Xiong is also a shopkeeper, and I am also a shopkeeper. Why is he the deputy shopkeeper and I am not?"
"That's right, we are all shopkeepers, why can't we become the deputy shopkeepers?" Xu Bo asked not to be outdone.
After saying that, he looked at the other shopkeepers, trying to encourage them to make trouble together.
"This is very simple, because Zhaojiazhuang has already built a Chi Road. Can you build a Chi Road now?" It was not Jia Li who answered this, but Yu Jihan.
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo looked at each other, and Xie Fangbai took the lead in speaking: "Aren't we under construction?"
"This is not under construction, but has been repaired and can be put into use." Yu Jixuan glanced at everyone present and said calmly, "If you also have such a Chidao, you can also sit in this position."
Xie Fangbai immediately argued: "What we built is Qin Shihuang's Chidao. Didn't Qin Shihuang's Chidao be put into use?"
"The Chidao was built by Qin Shihuang, not you. Qin Shihuang has been dead for more than a thousand years, and he doesn't want the reputation of the Chidao he built to be ruined by others." Yu Jihan's words were not very sharp, but he was There is a needle hidden in the cotton, and there is a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
No matter how thick-skinned Xie Fangbai was, after hearing these words, he was too embarrassed to represent Qin Shihuang.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Xu Bo. Isn't this his powerful supporter?
Seeing Xie Fangbai's gaze, Xu Bo immediately stood up from his seat: "Qin Shihuang built Chidao more than a thousand years ago, which shows how great Chidao is and that it is a symbol of the unity of the world."
He wanted to unify Qin Shihuang to maintain the dignity of Qin Shihuang Chidao, thereby maintaining the current dignity of Chidao.
"Is this what Qin Shihuang unified? He also unified weights, measures, writing, and unified the six kingdoms. Although the world is not in the Qin Dynasty, weights, measures, and writing are still in use today. These are the legacy of Qin Shihuang to his descendants. We have all benefited from Qin Shihuang's infinite wealth. But what about Chi Dao? Qin Shi Huang's Chi Dao has been recorded in books, and has been almost never used by future generations. What does this mean? It shows that Qin Shi Huang's Chi Dao has flaws. "Yu Jihan kept giving examples and using facts to refute the shortcomings of Qin Shihuang's Chi Dao.
When Xu Bo heard this, he felt anxious, rolled his eyes, and continued to defend: "Qin Shihuang's Chi Dao was his exclusive use, so it has not been passed down now."
"Qin Shihuang built the Chidao for his own use. Now that you and the other two are building the Chidao, is it only allowed for you and the other two to use it?" Yu Jihan looked at Xu Bo lightly and asked lightly.
What is it like to use the son's spear to attack his shield? This is what makes Xu Bo feel a little overwhelmed.
Seeing Xu Bo's eyes asking for help, Xie Fangbai immediately stood up from his seat after hearing this.
He bowed his hands to Yu Jihan and replied: "Yu Dianli, the Xie family and the Xu family never intended to allow only two families to use it alone. All carriages and oxen carts in the world can be used."
"Can they all be used? Well, let's take the old carriage to the Chi Road you built and try it out now." Yu Jixuan nodded and asked immediately.
When Xie Fangbai heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy: "Tell Master Yu, the Xie family has already tried it with a carriage, and there is no problem at all."
It seemed to him that their carriage had been tried on the track.
The carriage ran really fast. After all, the track was built according to their Xie family's specifications, so of course there was no problem.
It would be better if the Yuji dry carriage can go on the track. If it really does not meet the specifications, you might as well modify it.
Yu Jihan represents Zhao Ping. As long as he can be persuaded, everything will be easy to handle.
"Let me tell Master Yu, there is no problem with this at all. We have tried the carriages of our two families." Xu Bo also came out and said.
He had the same idea. If it couldn't get on the road, just change a wheel.
Yu Jihan put down his tea cup, looked at Lu Gao and asked, "Shopkeeper Lu, you are a descendant of Lu Ban, do you think it's okay?"
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo looked at each other, feeling strange.
After all, the two of them are the parties involved, and Lu Gao is still the party involved. I don’t know why I want to ask him?
"Tell Master Yu, I'm afraid this won't work." Lu Gao looked at Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo, shook his head and saluted Yu Jixuan.
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo were very unhappy. Lu Gao, if you please Master Yu so much, you don't need to take it for granted that you are belittling us.
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and noticed the anger in each other's eyes.
We are not ordinary people, but a big family, the family of the current father-in-law.
Xie Fangbai suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed his hands to Lu Gao: "Shopkeeper Lu, why not?"
Seeing the extremely angry expression on Xie Fangbai's face, Lu Gao knew that his words had offended the other party.
He is a craftsman with a technical background and does not hang out in official circles. Although he is not afraid of the other party, it is of course better if he does not offend.
"Two shopkeepers, will you know if you can come out and take a look at this carriage?" Lu Gao bowed his hands, looked at the two of them, and replied with a pleasant expression.
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo felt even more baffled. Yu Jihan was just an official, so what good things could he do?
The carriage is not an ox-cart, and any petty official can afford it.
Yu Jihan is just a clerk. Considering the high income in Lingquan County, he can barely keep a carriage.
Thinking of this, the two of them became even more confused. Could it be that Yu Jihan was a dirty official?
However, Lingquan County and Jintang County implement the system of high salary and high integrity, and have special supervision of housing inspections, so they should be relatively honest.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt even more baffled and wanted to go out and see what happened.
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo followed Lu Gao to deliver a special stable.
This one has only two horses and a carriage.
Lu Gao pointed to the carriage and said to Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo: "Two shopkeepers, let's see if this carriage works?"
The two of them looked at the carriage and couldn't help but be stunned. This carriage was so strange.
"Why, this is actually a four-wheeled carriage?" Although Xie Fangbai came from a big family, it was the first time he saw such a carriage, so he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Bo wiped his eyes, unable to believe this, and murmured: "Master Yu is just an official, why does he still have a four-wheeled carriage?"
"When did the four-wheeled carriage appear? This is the first time we have seen it." The two of them looked at each other with horrified looks in their eyes, and they felt a little shocked that they had never seen before.
Their two big families are either from Chengdu or Beijing, and they are one big family, so they naturally have an incomparable sense of superiority in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, in Taoyuan Town, which he once regarded as a remote countryside, there would be a four-wheeled carriage that they had never seen before.
The two of them found that each other had a bitter look on their faces, and that sense of superiority had all been knocked down from the sky to the earth, turning into a complete feeling of loss.
"Although Master Yu is just an official, his granddaughter is the concubine of the little sage. This is the filial piety of the little sage." Lu Gao explained to them with envy at the same time.
Xie Fangbai couldn't figure it out: "I am just a concubine, but why did you give me a four-wheeled carriage to my ancestor?"
"Zhao Ping is too kind to his concubine. You know, Dongpo layman gave his concubine away." Xu Bo was puzzled and jealous at the same time, trying to say sour words in his mouth.
Seeing the jealous looks in their eyes, Lu Gao coughed and hurriedly reminded: "May I ask the two shopkeepers, can this carriage go to your destination?"
"The wheels of this carriage were originally unable to go on the Chi Road, but as long as the wheels are replaced, they can also go on the Qin Shihuang Chi Road." Xie Fangbai kept walking around the four-wheeled carriage, looking at it and expressing his thoughts.
Xu Bo was even more delighted: "As long as the four-wheeled carriage can ride on Qin Shihuang's horse road, there will be no carriage in the world that cannot change the wheels."
The two looked at each other. Although they were jealous, they thought that this carriage could go to Qin Shihuang's horse drive. Doesn't that mean the success of their horse drive?
No matter how unwilling Zhao Ping is, the four-wheeled carriage he made himself can go up the Chi Road, so it is impossible for him to slap himself in the face.
The more they talked, the more excited they became, as if victory was already in sight.
Thinking of this, the two of them raised their hands to each other to congratulate each other and almost celebrated each other.
Seeing the two of them getting carried away, Lu Gao shook his head.
"Two shopkeepers, can you make a four-wheeled carriage?" Lu Gao bowed his hands and stepped forward to give a reminder.
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo were in a state of excitement and did not expect Lu Gao to say these words.
Xie Fangbai returned the gift with a cupped hand, and replied a little unhappy: "We really can't make it, but what does it have to do with Qin Shihuang's Chidao?"
"Of course it does matter, because this wheel cannot be replaced at all." Lu Gao saw that the other party was unhappy and hurriedly reminded him kindly.
Xie Fangbai knew that Lu Gao spoke specifically for Zhao Ping. Could it be that Lu Gao was a descendant of Lu Ban and Zhao Ping liked to make weapons?
But even if you admire Zhao Ping, don't look down on us. You must know that we are a big family, and it is also the family of the current father-in-law.
He looked at Lu Gao coldly, with deep disdain in his eyes: "Although we can't make a four-wheeled carriage, the craftsmen in the world who can change wheels are like the crucian carp crossing the river."
He did not say that he could replace it at home, but modestly said that the wheel was so simple that almost any carpenter could replace it.
"The key to the four-wheeled carriage is the wheel." Lu Gao saw the anger in the other party's eyes and knew that the two had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo were just shopkeepers and did not know anything about tool making or carpentry.
The two of them couldn't help but frown, not expecting this four-wheeled carriage to be so complicated.
Xie Fangbai's eyes looked back and forth between Lu Gao and the four-wheel carriage, and he tentatively bowed his hands and asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, I heard that you are a descendant of Lu Ban, so you should be able to make it."
Lu Gao shook his head and returned the courtesy with a wry smile on his face.
"Even if it can't be made, there should be no problem in replacing a wheel." Xie Fangbai still didn't give up, thinking that this should be done, and asked with a bow.
Lu Gao shook his head again, sighed, and continued to smile bitterly: "I pride myself on being a descendant of Lu Ban, but in fact I am really ashamed. What I didn't expect is that I can neither make nor replace wheels."
"Shopkeeper Lu must have underestimated himself. Why can't he make it or change the wheel?" Xie Fangbai and Xu Bo glanced at each other, both looking in disbelief.
Lu Gao had a dark look in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh again: "To be honest, I squatted on the carriage and looked at it carefully a few days ago. It cannot be replaced at all."
"This wheel is no different from other carriage wheels, why can't it be replaced?" Xie Fangbai circled the four-wheeled carriage several times with a look of complete disbelief on his face.
Lu Gao shook his head, with an incredible look on his face: "I don't know what the little saint thought, but the wheel and the carriage are actually one. Think about it, the wheel and the carriage are one, how can they be replaced."
While Yu Jihan drank tea, he openly let others watch.
Although he looked calm, the sparkle in his eyes gave him away.
It turned out that Yu Jihan didn't have a carriage. Considering that the old man was old, Zhao Ping gave him a carriage.
This carriage is different from other carriages in that it has four wheels and is still placed in the parking lot in front of the Assembly Hall.
Not many people use this four-wheeled carriage, and there are only a few in Sichuan.
Naturally, my mother is indispensable. She is the first person to ride in this carriage.
"Ping'er, this carriage is great. It's not only stable, but also much more comfortable than a two-wheeled carriage. You can hardly feel the vibration." While sitting, her mother gave Zhao Ping, who was accompanying her on the carriage, a kiss full of motherly love.
This four-wheel carriage is certainly comfortable. Not only are the shock-absorbing springs installed on the wheels, but the seat cushions are also equipped with springs.
Zhaojiazhuang now has iron lathes, milling machines, and cutting machines, and can start trial production of springs.
It’s just that this is still in the laboratory stage and is still early for mass production.
Yu Jie is the envoy of Sichuan, and Zhu Wenbing is his deputy. Naturally, there are two people.
Seeing that Yu Jie and Zhu Wenbing were also there, Qin Yulong, the prefect of Chengdu, and Yang Wu, the general magistrate, shamelessly asked for one each.
Zhao Ping was very kind to his family and relatives. Even Zhang Gu, the ancestor of his concubine Zhang Xiaoniang, Wang Qingsheng, the ancestor of Wang Jiuniang, and Yan Guo, the father of Ping's wife, also had one.
Judging from the car delivered by Zhao Ping, he is either a senior official or an elderly person.
Yu Jihan is already sixty years old, and he is also the ancestor of Zhao Ping's concubine Yu Mohua, so naturally he can't miss her.
Yu Jixian was extremely happy when he received the four-wheeled carriage sent by Yu Mohua himself.
He rode a four-wheeled carriage around Taoyuan Town several times, and also walked several times in Taoyuan Town and Lingquan County, making everyone in Lingquan County and Taoyuan Town envious.
You know, he is the only one in Lingquan County.
What this is is a status symbol.
Seeing Yu Jihan showing off in this four-wheeled carriage, Xu Yue was extremely angry.
He, an adult from Lingquan County, does not have a four-wheeled carriage, but you, a lowly official, have a four-wheeled carriage. How do you want him, the county magistrate, to show his face?
Seeing Yu Jihan's four-wheeled carriage passing by him in a majestic manner, he asked his staff Xu Mou: "Uncle Clan, can you also make a four-wheeled carriage?"
"The four-wheeled carriage is extremely difficult. Let's try it with Shopkeeper Lu. I don't know if it will work?" Xu Mou thought for a while and finally suggested.
Xu Mou nodded and sent Xu Mou to find Lu Gao, the head of the Lu family, and wanted this descendant of Lu Ban to make him a four-wheeled carriage.
When Lu Gao heard that Xu Zhi County had found him, he had no choice but to put down his work and follow him to Lingquan County.
It happened that Yu Jihan came to Lingquan County on business that day, and the two of them went up to observe Yu Jihan's four-wheeled carriage parked in the parking lot.
The groom drove this four-wheeled carriage and felt that his status had suddenly risen. After all, there was only such a four-wheeled carriage in the entire Lingquan County.
When he sees someone coming, the coachman will step forward to stop him. It is his sacred duty to protect the carriage.
Seeing the horseman sitting motionless on it, the porter couldn't help but get angry: "Who are you? This is the magistrate of Xu County who came to see this carriage and he hasn't gotten off yet."
When the groom heard that this person was the current magistrate, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
He bowed his hands to Xu Yue and said, "I've seen you, sir. Come down here."
He saw that it was a man who looked like a craftsman from Xuzhi County, and he knew that the other party wanted to know the secret of this four-wheeled carriage.
He could not stop him, so he had to get down from the carriage, and he had to accompany him respectfully.
Lu Gao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this four-wheeled carriage.
From ancient times to the present, there were only two-wheeled carriages.
It’s not like the Lu family has never made four-wheeled carriages.
Although the balance is comfortable, it has a fatal problem. It cannot turn, and it will fall over as soon as it turns.
Because the four-wheeled carriage had this fatal flaw, the descendants of the Lu family never made it again.
Looking at the four-wheeled carriage in front of him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was an incredible opportunity.
He immediately got down and got underneath to take a look.
He only saw a large steel disc underneath, connecting the part where the shaft and the body were connected to the front wheel.
He couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was the beauty of this big steel disc.
When the front wheels turn, the large disc drives the entire car to follow the overall turn.
Lu Gao also wanted to use wood to imitate it, but after thinking about it, wood was far less strong than steel, and it was very likely to cause a car crash and death.
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and had to give up the idea.
After viewing the structure, Lu Gao crawled out from under the carriage.
He patted the dust on his body, finally got up and said to Xu Yue with a wry smile: "Tell the county that this four-wheeled carriage is so ingenious that no villain can make it."
Although Xu Yue had made preparations in his heart, when he heard Lu Gao say this in person, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Xu Yue knew that Yu Jihan had a four-wheeled carriage, but he didn't have one himself. He felt it was really embarrassing and did not tell Xie Fangbai, Xu Bo and others.
Xu Bo and others mostly stayed at the construction site to work, so naturally they didn't know about it.
Xu Yue was disappointed, and there were people even more disappointed than him.
This person is none other than Su Hanqing.
Su Hanqing is the transfer envoy. Strictly speaking, he is also the boss of Qin Yulong, the prefect of Chengdu.
There is also the prefect Qin Yulong, and even the general magistrate Yang Wu, but why is there not him as the transporter?
Of course, his deputy, Deputy Transport Envoy Xie Fangzhong, was equally uncomfortable as him.
Xie Fangzhong spat hard and looked out the window at Qin Yulong and Yang Wu's carriage.
His eyes were almost red, and he pointed at the four-wheeled carriage parked outside the window, extremely angry: "They have a prefect and a general magistrate, why don't we have one?"
"Hey, who told us that we are not in the same party with this Zhao Ping?" Su Hanqing sighed while constantly sowing discord.
Xie Fangzhong slapped his right hand on the table and said viciously: "Shuzi, I am not done with you."
Su Hanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that the selection was finally successful.
But he forgot how Zhao Ping had a good impression of him when he suppressed Zhao Ping many times.
As for Zhao Ping, he was not afraid of even the Prime Minister when he was fighting with Uncle Xie Fang in the writing arena. He was not willing to use his hot face to stick to his opponent's cold ass.
The reason why Yu Jixuan was able to quarrel with the two shopkeepers of the Xu family and the Xie family as the chief clerk was that he had multiple identities.
In addition to being a code official, he is also the ancestor of Zhao Ping's concubine, and the four-wheeled carriage is the best proof of his identity.
Naturally, Zhao Ping would not come here in person, just entrusting Yu Jihan would be enough.
As expected, Yu Jihan lived up to Zhao Ping's hopes. Although Xu Bo and Xie Fangbai took turns fighting, they were still almost unable to withstand his refutation.
Seeing the four-wheeled carriage outside Yu Jihan, Xu Bo and Xie Fangbai knew that it was no longer realistic to let his carriage go on the road.
"Tell Master Yu that most of the Qin Shihuang Chidao between the Xu family and the Xie family has been built. What should we do about this?" He was still unwilling to accept it and tried to use the fact that it had become a fact to stop Yu Jihan.
Through the four-wheeled carriage, he knew that Yu Jihan was Zhao Ping's spokesperson, so he simply went to Yu Jihan directly.
