Chapter 1106 The Founding of the Kingdom and the Great Wall

No matter what kind of civilization most of them have discovered the benefits of the wheel, the importance of the wheel is self-evident, it can make transportation more convenient, but also make people more labor-saving, the ancient civilization used the wheel to be superb, it can be said that these wheels promote the development of human civilization.

In the Great Song Dynasty, with the advent of rubber, the craftsmen who would be the supervisors were the first to discover its benefits, and this extremely flexible and durable material could be used as a shock absorber for wheels.

If the speed of the carriage wants to be increased, it will inevitably cause bumps in the vehicle, and the development of the carriage in recent years is fighting against the bumps brought by this speed, Zhao Zhen's suspension shock absorber has been used in most of the carriages, the effect is really good, but it is not his first initiative, there was this conductive shock absorber in the Shang Dynasty, but it is not so advanced.

Another means of the ancestors is to wrap the wheel with leather, the soft wheel of the car, reduce the bumps, and wrap the wheel with the cha, which is called the cha pulley. However, the method of wrapping the wheels in leather is a luxury, and the effect is not very ideal because it is consumed too quickly.

But now with rubber, it is different, the wheel is an important thing to achieve a new leap, and even led the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty to leap forward, solid rubber wheel was invented, and applied to the carriage for the first time.

When the people of the Gewu Academy asked for funding from the three divisions, Bao Zheng put forward his own questions suspiciously, which also represented the questions of most of the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, is it necessary to use this thing on the carriage?

The people of the Gewuyuan always spoke with facts, and dragged out a brand new carriage that had just been made, and the wheels of which were particularly eye-catching, and exuded a slightly pungent smell.

This is a solid tire after natural rubber heat treatment, set on the original carriage wheel, the people of the Gewu Institute asked Bao Zheng to get on the car, Bao Zheng did not have a second word, it is not easy to get the appropriation from his own hands, and this thing in front of him is indeed a bit outrageous......

When Bao Zheng put the carriage on the table, the groom of the Gewu Institute drove the carriage to gallop on an experimental road, when the carriage drove on the smooth cement road, there was almost no bumps, as if the carriage was not galloping, Bao Zheng was the first time to ride such a carriage, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

Followed by the bumpy section, the elasticity of the rubber fully played its role, although the carriage was bumpy, but did not give people a huge, stiff impact, but a soft force to bump people up, at least the feeling of Bao Zheng is that their buttocks do not hurt.

Bao Zheng is already old, for him such a carriage is really very suitable for travel, not to mention, its shock absorption alone is excellent, of course, he can't give money to the Gewu Institute for his own convenience and comfort, he sees in it some benefits that others do not see.

Who is Bao Zheng? The three envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, experts in the study of financial planning, have already changed their original stubbornness and conservatism over the years, at least in the way of financial planning.

Among the three divisions of the Great Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng is in charge of throttling, and Cai Boyu is in charge of open source, but after so many years, he is not just throttling, open source? He's going to save the hell too!

From this wheel, he saw a bright future, the increase in the speed of the carriage is not just a speed increase, this also represents the improvement of the transportation capacity of the Great Song Dynasty, what does the improvement of transportation capacity mean?

Bao Zheng knows better than anyone that this means that the goods of the Great Song Dynasty can arrive where they want to go faster, the money will return to the Great Song Dynasty faster, the business will be more prosperous, and the transportation of goods will be faster!

It was not that the carriage could not run fast, but because of the bumps, it could not be fast, so some merchants preferred to use the bullock cart with slow speed but sufficient stamina and durability, and anyway, as long as they could make money by transporting the goods.

But now with these fast and steady carriages, it is difficult to say what the future business will become, and it is imperative to immediately allocate funds to the Gewu Institute to make more rubber wheels.

Now it is not the merchants who need these rubber wheels the most, but the side walls of the Great Song Dynasty!

The construction of the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty developed rapidly, but in the eyes of the courtiers, it was still insufficient, and the daily cost was quite huge, comparable to the use of soldiers, so the officials proposed that the imperial court provide money and craftsmen to guide, and the merchants took over the construction of each section, and finally the imperial court sent special officials to carry out the acceptance.

It was a win-win situation, as the merchants were given the opportunity to make money, and the imperial court was able to save money, which was more economical than spending money on labor and paying huge daily expenses.

Servitude was an inevitable problem in feudal society, and although the court paid wages, these wages were pitifully small, and the people had to obey the apportionment, which made some people reluctant.

Now the imperial court has completely given up, only paying money, and leaving the rest to the merchants themselves, of course, the imperial court will provide these merchants with materials to build the Great Wall, so that no one will dare to use the materials as an excuse.

In this way, it also saves a lot of money for the merchants, otherwise who would want to claim these passages of the Great Wall?

Whenever a merchant completes a section of the city wall prescribed by the imperial court, there will be officials from the imperial court to inspect it, and watch the work essays of the craftsmen assigned by the imperial court.

At the beginning, there were not many businessmen to take over the work of the imperial court, but there were always bold people who were the first to eat crabs, and after an inconspicuous small merchant named Ruide took over a section of the city wall, because the recruits were refugees, as long as they could eat enough, they would be satisfied, who knew that if they could dare to have a reward before the construction period of the imperial court, this greatly mobilized their enthusiasm.

It originally took three months to work, but they only took one and a half months to take it, and passed the acceptance of the imperial court, and the victims not only got the reward originally promised by the merchants, but also got the reward from the imperial court.

This completely ignited the enthusiasm of the merchants, and it turned out that building the city wall was the most profitable job! Although I am a little tired, the money comes quickly! As long as it is one day earlier than the time set by the imperial court, you will be rewarded, and the shorter the time, the more and more generous the reward.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the merchants, even the official family issued a decree to open the first prize, who has made the greatest contribution to the construction of the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty, and the businessman who has contributed the most can get the title of the Great Song Dynasty!

Not only can you earn money from the court, but you can also get a knighthood! Now all the businessmen can't sit still, although this title is only a founding uncle, but the official family made it clear that this title was hereditary in the Great Song Dynasty.

And the word founding is a reflection of the fact that this title is not easy to come by, relying on his own efforts to obtain the initial title of earl, only in this way, this first earl is called the founding earl!
