Chapter Ninety-Five: Thinking of Strange Methods, Transporting Meteoric Iron
95. Think of strange ways to transport meteoric iron
Waiting for the guards to eat, Li Pojun looked around the meteorite, heh, just the black luster could see that it was destined not to be mortal, took a saber from the guard, and slashed at the meteorite with a knife. 【Latest chapter reading. 】
"Bell~" A crisp and piercing sound of iron and stone striking sounded, Li Pojun's hand was still numb, and the tiger's mouth was trembling.
Damn, the strength was a little fierce, and Li Pojun shook his hand that was a little numb.
Look at the knife in your hand again, this knife is refined, absolutely high-grade, but by this chop, the edge of the knife is curled, and a few small holes have collapsed, and then look at the meteoric iron, there is only a mark in the place where it was chopped, a white trace.
Li Pojun couldn't help but be even more excited when he saw this, it was really good.
After a while, the guards finished eating, and Li Pojun was thinking about where to put this meteorite, Bailu? Or is it Lan * Tian?
After thinking about it, there are still ten miles away from Lan * Tian, and it is not easy to transport it back, since it has decided not to waste money and people, it is better to put it in this Bailu Town.
It happened to be on the side of the road, and it was a straight road that had been stepped on to the town street.
Well? Since the road is so flat, there is sand on both sides of the road, and there is sand and some gravel on the road, why don't you use a wooden sled to pull it, or put a wooden pole under the wooden sled.
Li Pojun thought when he saw the flat road.
This can also be modeled after the ancient Egyptians who had to bring huge rocks and stone statues across the desert to build the pyramids, so the ancient Egyptians placed these large objects on wooden skids and pulled them by workers...... However, the ancient Egyptians used a very ingenious method to transport the huge and heavy pyramid stones, and the ancient Egyptians wet the sand. If the proportion of water is right, they can reduce their labor by half.
It has been scientifically proven that with the participation of a certain percentage of water, moist sandy land exhibits twice the hardness of dry sandy land. At this point, the sled slides are easier to slide because the sand does not pile up on the front end of the stone as it does on dry sand.
The meteorite was trying to get it on the sled, and the man standing in front of the sled was pouring water to wet the sand. It should be easy to pull the front and push the back, so that it can be transported to the town a few hundred meters away.
The sand on the ground is still a little small, and it is uneven, but this problem is easy to solve, don't you see that the road is full of sand.
When transported to the town, you have to find a place to put it, preferably a house, which is more secretive, and you can also let the guards live and guard.
Thinking of this, "Li Zheng, you go to the town to look for it, see if there is a vacant house facing the street, you go and see, it is best to be able to buy it and use it to place this meteorite."
Li Zheng and the others were also surprised when they heard that they were going to place this big guy, this big guy wanted to get through with them, but it was not easy, although Li Zheng was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more questions just now after being punished, so he went to the town to find a house.
Li Zhen also said worriedly: "Boss, just because of our people, we want to get this big guy over?" After that, he swallowed his saliva, as if he was frightened by this big guy.
"Haha, what are you coercing? I have my own way", Li Pojun said confidently, but seeing the stupid look of the guard, he also knew that with more than ten of them, or more than ten people who had not slept all night and were in bad spirits, it was a little reluctant to move this ten-ton big guy, although the transportation method was very ingenious.
"Li Ran, you go to the town to find twenty young men to come and help, remember to say it, it's not for nothing, come and help out, each of them is a hundred dollars."
As soon as these words came out, the guards also showed envy on their faces, what kind of money can the strength of young and strong laborers be worth in these years, but this will come to get a hundred big money without a lot of strength, this is all grain, this year's harvest in Guanzhong is not good, a bucket of rice is worth a piece of silk, and this hundred dollars can buy more than a dozen buckets of rice.
"Haha, don't be envious, I've done my errand, and I'll be rewarded when I go back, haha."
"Haha, thank you, Your Highness".
To be honest, Li Pojun really doesn't have much concept of money, in short, he knows that one or two pieces of silver can do a lot of things, his prince is just a part of Jiangling's taxes, and there is also a false title of the governor, I don't know how many, let alone Qin's palace.
"Also, don't be idle now, Uncle Tie, you will lead someone to transport the sand on the side of the road to spread it on this road and spread it evenly. Jingyang, don't be idle, go to the town and buy some shovels and ropes, well, this is too heavy, it's better to have iron ropes. And find a big sturdy wooden sled or plank that you can look like can carry down the lumps." Although Li Zhen was still full of doubts, Li Pojun didn't tell him about it, and he had no choice but to do things honestly.
In the middle of the night, Li Tie and the others had already paved the road with sand, and they had all paved it to the entrance of the town, but the people also knew that this was a noble business, and they didn't dare to say more.
Li Zhen came back first, several people were full of tools, shovels, hoes, and ropes, and there were people behind them carrying something, it should be wooden planks, Li Zhen was still struggling to hold a large number of iron cables.
"How about it, didn't you buy it by force?"
"Boss, why do you say that about me, am I such a person, I bought it at a fair price and with extra money."
After a while, Li Zheng and Li Ran also returned, followed by more than twenty or thirty young people.
Li Pojun took a look, huh? Why are there so many people, it seems that there are more than twenty people, ask Li Ran.
"Xiaolang, the price you offered is too attractive, and now the farmers are idle, people are idle, as soon as I heard that this lot of wages and know your identity are rushing to come, I chose for a long time, and the people who chose were strong and strong, but some people said that the salary was too much, and they had to call their uncles, brothers, nephews and other men over, saying that they could help a little" Li Ran explained.
When Li Pojun heard this, this people are really simple, and they don't take advantage of it and think about their main family.
"People, this king Li Pojun, the king of Jiangling, now there is something that needs everyone's help, everyone who comes here will not work in vain, everyone has a hundred big money, do what you say, give money now."
After hearing this, the people made a sensation, "Thank you, Your Highness", "Thank you, Lord Wang......
At this time, Li Zheng also came up and said: "Xiaolang, there is a vendor who has an idle house at the end of the street, I heard that you want to use it, so you have to give it for free, but I still give him silver at the market price."
"Well, well done, and the silver, go and give them the wages, and give each of them a hundred dollars, no less."
Li Zheng was about to speak and stopped, but when he saw Li Pojun turn around, he went to pay the people.
Li Pojun knew what he wanted to say, he was worried that some people would run away with their wages or not make any effort, but how could this group of people behave like this when they were so simple, and besides, he was still watching here.
Everyone who received the money was very excited, especially those who brought their uncles and brothers over were even more excited, thinking that they would come to pull a big stone and make some effort to get a hundred big money, and they felt that it was cheap, and it was also the prince who picked it up, and there was something wrong with him, so he pulled his uncle and brother to make a little effort, after all, a hundred dollars, this is more than ten buckets of rice. As a result, this prince is so kind, and everyone has paid money, and now twenty or thirty workers are even more energetic.
