Zhu Biao's eyes were on a two-wheeled carriage next to him. That was the carriage from Xiaqiu Village, transporting the steam engine.
He thought of the small train he took before, such a small locomotive, carrying many carriages and people forward quickly.
Now this one is only for one car, which is obviously faster, but this carriage has two wheels.
When walking, press one end against the horses and oxen, and when stopping, use the pillar to support the front.
When traveling, without front support, the shaft will hit the ground.
"Change it to four wheels, like a rail car, but what about steering?" Zhu Biao began to think about practical applications.
"In addition to the differential, we can also add a steering shaft. Small technical problems such as this are not a problem and can be easily solved."
The head of the village said there was no need to worry, as the village had technical reserves.
Zhu Biao: "..."
The team continued to move forward, and it was only more than an hour away from Zhongdu, which was under construction and then stopped. It was impossible to make it there yesterday.
The children and common people in the neighborhood received a large number of popcorn sticks and were told that they could only be kept for a day or two as they would spoil if they were wet or exposed to water.
Accompanied by Hanhan, Zhu Biao gave the children the Four Treasures of the Study and pictures and literacy books one by one, whether they wanted to learn or not!
Fengyang is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. When the prince arrives in his hometown, he must make a gesture.
When we arrived at the place, a camp was built here. As expected, the construction was stopped, leaving only the locals to guard the stones, and all the wood was transported away to build the ship.
There are wild grasses growing in some places where there are no buildings, and a seven or eight-year-old cowherd boy is here herding cattle.
There is a vegetable patch next to it, and you can tell from the layout that it is for growing cowpeas or cucumbers.
No one drives the cowherd boys away, this profession is quite powerful! A librarian no less than Zhu Wentian.
The little doll put two cows in the air, held a willow leaf in his mouth, and played a small tune.
Seeing the large group of people arriving, the little boy came closer and said, "They said that the Crown Prince is here? Can we meet him? Kowtow."
"No need to kowtow, come on, eat some popcorn sticks, and wash your hands first." Zhu Biao was happy to see the clever child.
"Then you are His Highness the Crown Prince? Let's kowtow to you!" The little doll knelt down to Zhu Biao and kowtowed twice.
"How do you know we are the prince?" Zhu Biao asked.
"Let us ask His Highness the Crown Prince, who else dares to answer for the Crown Prince? Right?"
When the little baby saw someone bringing a basin, he went over to wash his hands and even apply soap.
"Clever!" Zhu Biao smiled.
The little doll took a bite of the rice popcorn stick, narrowed his eyes, and said with a look of enjoyment on his face: "Oh my god! How was this thing made? Is it from Yingtian Mansion?"
"You know a lot?" Zhu Biao became interested.
"We are literate! I can also do arithmetic! Someone in my family went to Yingtian Mansion, and the library bought us a picture literacy book.
Our herding cattle has nothing to do with literacy. We are here to herd cattle to look at the land. We are afraid that some animals will harm the vegetable fields we and others are planting.
Rabbits, badgers, and other animals are cultivated on this land by our people, and the two cows are the ones who plow the land.
We were literate, and they all listened to us. I taught them literacy and arithmetic, and we tended the vegetable fields with them.
After collecting the vegetables, some were shared with everyone, some were sold, and money was saved to buy paper and ink.
Our name is Liu Guangchao, the light of light, the morning of Chaoyang, and Marquis Yihui is our distant uncle. "
The little doll introduces himself, and the key person is Yi Huihou.
The land was originally given to Zhu Yuanzhang by Liu Jizu, the Marquis of Yihui, so that he could bury his relatives.
Xiaowa's family is obviously connected with Liu Jizu, and he can go to Yingtian Mansion to do things, and at the same time buy books for Xiaowa to read.
"How are you doing at home?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao suddenly felt close to him.
"Okay! I have soap and soap at home, but soap is not allowed to be used because it is expensive!
I know His Highness the Crown Prince is coming. Anyway, we graze the cattle and look at the vegetable fields here every day, and practice calligraphy by the way, so we'll just wait.
When we met and kowtowed to His Majesty the Crown Prince, I actually wanted to thank His Majesty for stopping the construction of Zhongdu for a while, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to do it! "
The little baby looked careless and talked about things in Zhongdu.
"What happened to Zhongdu?" Zhu Biao was curious.
"It's tiring! We also have to help. We are tired every day. Our family originally had three cows, and one of them was exhausted.
It's fine now. I have five cows now. I bought one and got two cows. It turns out that these two cows are one and a half years old.
Since I already know how to plow the land, I will start plowing the vegetable field with you. oops! Eating dirt again. Can that soil be eaten?
Your Highness, please wait a moment. The cow has been eating dirt for more than a month. "
While the little kid was talking, he kept turning his head to look at the cow. He was anxious when he saw the cow eating dirt there.
"Head of the house!" Zhu Biao looked at the head of the house.
"I'll go take a look, eat dirt!" The manager followed, and Hanhan said beside him, "Tu, dirt, eat..."
The little doll led the cow over with a helpless expression on his face.
When the inside grows closer, I first observe, and then look at the mouth of the cow. Sure enough, it is a mouth of one and a half years old. One of the milk pincer teeth has been replaced, and the other one has not fallen out.
However, the teeth of the nipple clamps fell off and the ones that grew back were not very good.
"Is this a calcium deficiency? Oh yes, it's also a phosphorus deficiency. This... feed... bitter salt? Hmm! Add bone shell powder and limestone."
The director looked at Hanhan while making judgment. Hanhan put his hand on his chest and moved his fingers back and forth. This was sign language.
In fact, he slowly looked at it and could see it. Now he is anxious and needs technical guidance.
The little doll raised his eyebrows as he listened: "What are they all about?"
"Guang Chao, do you eat river snails and river mussels?" The leader asked instead of answering.
"If you don't eat it, you'll get sick easily. You mean feeding it to cows? What do cows eat?"
The little doll has strong understanding ability and good logical thinking ability.
"Eat the shell, roast it and grind it into powder, add the stone in front and bitter salt.
You see, the new tooth is not good, and the other one is about to fall out, because it is missing these things.
If you feed the cows, they will stop eating soil. We have some in the team and I will give them to you, including silage. "
The leader patiently told the little boy that there were cows and horses in the team, because cows were easier to take care of than horses and were less burdensome to carry around.
Moreover, we brought many cows whose calves had been weaned. The cows could continue to produce milk for several months, so everyone would have milk to drink on the road.
All kinds of feed must be prepared, and problems cannot arise due to lack of nutrition for cattle and horses.
The little baby showed a look of surprise: "Really? We also see that there is something wrong with the teeth, so let's just say it! They always want to chew on that stone, what if all the teeth are lost? Just stop them."
While talking, three people and two cows were brought over. The little boy excitedly said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, this is the cow that your subordinate specializes in raising? From what he said, it feels right!"
"How dare we let people raise cattle for us! Your family brought you a book about reading pictures and reading. Did they say anything about Xiaqiu Village? This is Zhu Lichang of Xiaqiu Village."
Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head, then spread his hands and asked the village chief to raise cattle?
"Wow! The mayor of Xiaqiu Village? You know, we know, the books we read are from the Painting Library of Xiaqiu Village.
Are you the chief? You know so much. They all said that Xiaqiu Village is the village of His Royal Highness.
The children in Xiaqiu Village are trained for His Highness the Crown Prince, alas! Is that you? Big brother, big sister, are you? "
As expected, the little doll had strong logical ability. He discovered the secret all of a sudden. He looked at the children in Xiaqiu Village, widened his eyes and shouted.
