Chapter 327: Trolley
There are a lot of things written in the decree from Chang'an, but after removing the nonsense, all that remains is salt, and a lot of salt!
As for the specific amount, it was not written, but four big words were written: the more, the better!
Xiao Han scoffed at this headless decree, thinking that the bigwigs in Chang'an were crazy! If they say a word lightly, they will be tired and break their legs on their side?
Of course, Xiao Han doesn't take it seriously, but the eldest grandson Shunde can't and doesn't take it seriously.
For Xiao Han, meritorious service is like a commonplace. He doesn't even have to think about it, the credit can obediently run in front of him! At this point, no matter how conceited the people of the Tang Dynasty are, they have to nod and admit it!
And the eldest grandson Shunde knew that Xiao Han's meritorious service in Xiazhou this time was not small, but the reward was only three mountains, which looked very shabby. It's not that Li Yuan is stingy, but Li Yuan also recognized Xiao Han's strange characteristics! In order to avoid the phenomenon that Li Guang is difficult to seal in the Tang Dynasty in the future, it was deliberately done!
Therefore, Xiao Han doesn't want the credit for making salt now. The eldest grandson Shunde took it over naturally, and not only that, but he also forcibly pulled Xiao Han to give him ideas! Anyway, in the matter of Qin Shubao and a few people, he owes himself a favor, not at this time, but when?
As we said earlier, the military is the most efficient organization in the world! Whether it's killing or working......
There was no fighting on the front line, and the more than 20,000 troops in the city drove out, all the way to the salt-producing mountains, and the long line could not be seen at a glance.
You know, this is more than 20,000 people, far from being comparable to the previous 100 people!
Along the way, meet the mountains and open the mountains, and build bridges when encountering water! More than 20,000 troops used their feet to step on a flat road on the mountain!
Standing on the top of a low hill, looking at the army carrying salt mines like ants below, Xiao Han was very satisfied! But the eldest grandson Shunde on the side was a little worried!
"Xiao Hou, this can't be done! Now there are many people, and it is natural to carry it on the shoulder. But after two days, most of the man was gone! The rest of the people who cook salt and chop firewood can't guarantee the amount of Chang'an! ”
"Haha, it's okay, no one, let's use livestock!" Xiao Han replied disappreciatively. The road has been made, although it is not a cement road, but there is a road on this mountain that is Amitabha, what else do you dare to pursue?
The eldest grandson Shunde may have known that Xiao Han would say this, smiled bitterly, and then said to Xiao Han: "Xiao Hou said that he laughed, although this road is a little neat, but after all, it is a mountain road, and the slope is too big!" Horses and old cows can't go! Only mules and donkeys can walk, but where can we find so many donkeys and mules? You see......"
Xiao Han frowned when he heard this, looked at the eldest grandson Shunde strangely and said, "Ahem, what do you think I'm doing?" I'm not going to change! ”
"Of course, this doesn't make you change, but the patriarch Sun Wuji said that you must be right to find Xiao Hou for these clever things! Presumably Xiao Hou won't disappoint his clan brother......"
I don't look down on people who lose face for merit, but this involves the eldest grandson Wuji, who has helped him many times, and Xiao Han can't shirk it.
Standing on the top of the mountain, I thought silently: manpower can't be used, animal power can't be used, and the salt mine won't run to the city on its own long legs! So there's only one way left, and that's to borrow the right tools!
Squatting down, he made a few strokes on the ground with small stones, and a simple drawing of a small cart appeared on the ground.
"What is this?" Eldest Sun Shunde lowered his head and asked.
Xiao Han threw away the stone, bulldozed the picture with his feet, and stretched his waist before he said, "Trolley!" It only takes one person to carry as much cargo as a donkey can carry! ”
"One person can carry a donkey?!" The eldest grandson Shunde was shocked, if someone else said this, he would definitely think that this person was farting! It's just what Xiao Han said, there must be a square arrow! Li Shimin once told him that this kid never speaks!
Surprised and delighted in his heart, the eldest grandson Shunde grabbed Xiao Han and ran down the mountain in a hurry, instructing the soldiers who came up as he ran: "Hurry up and prepare the horse to return to the city!" Gather the best artisans in town! Prepare to listen to Xiao Hou's orders! ”
Xiao Han wasted a lot of energy to climb the mountain, where did he expect that the eldest grandson Shunde dragged him and said that he would leave? Almost the whole person was behind the eldest grandson Shunde, shouting all the way: "Hey, hey, slow down!" No hurry......"
Ahead, the eldest grandson Shunde said without looking back: "What's not in a hurry!" You're leaving the day after tomorrow, where am I going to find someone who can be used as a donkey? ”
"Ahem...... It's a donkey, ahh Not right either! I said, are you scolding me around the corner? ”
Under this old man, Xiao Han's resistance is doomed to be in vain! Like a chicken, he was taken back to Xiazhou City by the anxious eldest grandson Shunde, and then threw it into the logistics camp, waiting for Xiao Han to make the Nalaoshzi trolley!
The road was bumpy, and Xiao Han's legs were trembling. Finally landed on the ground, Xiao Han just sat down tremblingly, and immediately surrounded a circle of craftsmen in front of him. The soldiers who rushed back in front of the head had already told them that Hou Ye suddenly thought of a magical thing outside the city, as a craftsman, how could he not be interested?
Xiao Han has not dealt with craftsmen once or twice, in fact, in Xiao Han's heart, the closest thing is still the craftsman.
This may have something to do with the fact that I was also a skilled worker in my previous life, and I am very close to the craftsman when I see it! Even if he has been a marquis in Datang for more than half a year, this has not changed.
Hehe, maybe because the thoughts of the little people have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, they don't look like the prince when they wear a dragon robe! Xiao Han thought.
Sitting on the ground, Xiao Han first recalled the basic structure of the trolley in his mind.
Whether it's in an orphanage or at work, that thing is really not less touched by itself, it's nothing more than a wheel and a frame!
There is no need to think about the iron frame, there is no steel pipe here, and there is no high-end goods such as electric welding. But luckily there's wood, and it's a lot of good wood!
Tell the carpenter to find the tough and sturdy wood, and throw him the drawings of the frame, and tell him that he will see the finished product in an hour! Xiao Han then led the blacksmith to make the only bearing in the trolley that was a little difficult.
Bearings are no longer a rare commodity in Xiaojia Zhuangzi, from windmills and waterwheels to horse-drawn carriage wheels, you can see this new type of parts everywhere! And because of the more done, the whole process has been extremely standardized!
The fine steel is cast into small solid iron balls, which are quickly polished to a normal size, and two round kits are thrown into ice cubes, and the other is burned with charcoal until it is red! When the gap between thermal expansion and cold contraction is large enough, stuff the iron balls one by one, and then wait for them to return to normal temperature, and the iron balls are firmly embedded in the small slide inside, no matter how they turn, they will not fall out again!
Butter the balls and flick them vigorously with your hands, and the simple bearing rattles. Although it doesn't look as smooth as the machining of later generations, it's much stronger than directly using a wooden shaft!
I'm not in the mood to make a spoked wheel, a big log cake is good! I set the bearing in the middle of the round cake and beat it firmly, and the outside frame was just delivered.
The carpenter who makes the car frame is as simple as Xiong Er, but the work under his hands is not silly at all. The mortise and tenon joints between the pieces of wood are extremely strong, and the entire frame is integrated. Xiao Han went up and shook his hand vigorously, but the whole component didn't feel loose at all!
