Chapter 1256: Climbing the Plow
"There are so many people that it's too late. And the temporary housing is also very poor. The main reason is that the victims do not have enough to eat, gruel twice a day, and not all of them are able to drink it. ”
Luo Xin's face was solemn, and it was not surprising that gruel twice a day could not maintain the heat in his body at all, plus there were not enough houses, and it was not surprising that there were people who froze to death every day.
"Grain from the south to the north!" Luo Xin turned his head to look at King Yu.
"The canal is frozen, the snow is blocking the road, and it can't be transported." Yuwang sighed.
Luo Xin closed his eyes and frowned tightly. The room was extremely quiet, Zhang Juzheng and the others were also frowning, thinking of a way, and King Yu said softly:
"Master Luo, Master Gao said that you can borrow grain like a rich man."
"I can't borrow much, at most I can maintain gruel twice a day." Luo Xin sighed and said, "Twice a day gruel is not good at all. ”
"The senior master said the same."
"Is there any other way for Gao Ge Lao?"
"Nope!" King Yu shook his head and said.
"Where's Xu Jie?"
"Master Gao said that Xu Jie's can't do anything."
Luo Xin rubbed his face with his hands and said: "We still have to transfer grain from the south to the north, once there is no grain in Taicang, it is not only a problem for the victims, but also the prices in the entire capital will soar and cause a big mess." ”
"yes, that's where Lone worries. But grain from the south will not be able to arrive until February. ”
Luo Xin's heart suddenly moved: "Not necessarily. ”
"Master Luo has a way?" King Yu's eyes lit up, and Zhang Juzheng and the others also looked at Luo Xin.
"Your Highness, you send someone to the Ministry of Works and ask a few carpenters and blacksmiths to come over."
"It's easy!" King Yu immediately got up and ordered his men to go to the Ministry of Works.
Luo Xin got up, came to the back of the bookcase, spread out the paper, and began to draw something. King Yu and everyone gathered around, and when Luo Xin finished painting, Hai Rui said softly:
"Why doesn't this car have wheels?"
"It's called climbing the plow! Well, it can also be called a pulley. ”
"Climbing the plow?"
And at this time, Yuwang's subordinates came with several carpenters and blacksmiths from the Ministry of Works, Luo Xin beckoned them to come over, explained the drawing to them, and then said:
"Start doing it now, how soon will you be able to make one?"
The carpenters and blacksmiths saw that King Yu and several adults were staring at them with burning eyes, so they summed up and said:
"My lord, let's go back now, give us half an hour, half an hour must be done, and then send it to my lord."
Luo Xin waved his hand and turned his head to look at Tao Dalindao:
"Master Tao, let's go to your place for tea?"
"I can't ask for it!"
Tao Dalin smiled happily, and was able to invite Yuwang to the Ministry of Industry to drink tea, which was also a rare opportunity. So they went to the Ministry of Works, and the carpenter and blacksmith mobilized the whole Ministry of Works to start making the plow, and everyone worked together, and it didn't take half an hour for a plow to be made. The crowd circled around the climbing plow, and Tao Dalin said:
"Lord Luo, this climbing plow is to unload the wheels!"
"It's that simple!" Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "It's the two flutes that replace the wheels, and the iron bars inlaid on the wooden flutes, okay?" ”
According to Luo Xin's instructions, they began to put the climbing plow on a horse, and then began to put goods on the climbing plow. Then a groom began to drive a plow through the playground of the Ministry of Works.
If this was an ordinary carriage, now that the snow is so deep, it would have been stuck in the pit a long time ago, and it would not have been able to move, but this climbing plow was pulled by a horse and ran very fast.
King Yu's eyes were stunned, until the plow stopped in front of him again, and he excitedly grabbed Luo Xin's arm and said:
"Master Luo, great! That's great! ”
Luo Xin patted King Yu's hand holding his arm and said, "Your Highness, let people bring this drawing to the south, or bring these carpenters and blacksmiths to the south, so that the south can quickly make such a climbing plow, and use this climbing plow to transport grain to the capital, although it is still difficult, but it can be transported." ”
"That's right! Right! Right! I'm going to see my father, and I'm going to see my father with this climbing plow! ”
King Yu left happily with the climbing plow, and at ten o'clock in the evening of the same day, dozens of fast horses rushed out of the capital and galloped towards the south.
This problem was solved, everyone watched King Yu leave in a hurry, and the time was almost the time to get off duty, so everyone coaxed that it was to solve the problem of transferring grain from the south to the north, to celebrate, and to invite Luo Xin to treat. Luo Xin looked at everyone speechlessly:
"I solved this problem, right?"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded in unison.
"The credit is mine, isn't it?"
"Yes!" At one point, the crowd nodded in unison.
"Then why should I have a treat? You should have invited me! Luo Xin said seriously.
The crowd also said earnestly, "Because you have money!" ”
"Grass ......"
Luo Xin couldn't help but burst into foul language, but everyone laughed loudly, Luo Xin also laughed, waved his hand and said:
"Let's go, hot pot!"
Everyone came to Jiajialou again, and when the hot pot came up, everyone threw off their cheeks and ate it. This time, there were only six people from the small six departments, Hai Rui did not come, but left with King Yu, he was in charge of disaster relief, so he naturally wanted to follow King Yu's side. When he was half-full, everyone finally got warm, and Zhang Juzheng took a sip of wine and said:
"No, you're a little out of business!"
"Why am I not doing my job?" Luo Xin took a bite of meat and said vaguely.
"Don't forget!" Zhang Ju just said in a moment: "Your duty is disarmament, not disaster relief. You've solved the disaster relief problem, but what about disarmament? ”
Luo Xin took a sip of his wine glass, then shook his head and said:
"This matter is not handled well, Your Majesty is going to ask the cabinet, right?"
"Yes!" Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Luo Xin.
"Then is the cabinet going to take six ministries?"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded again.
"Are the six departments going to take our so-called little six to ask?"
"Yes!" The expressions of the crowd became serious, as if there was something bad in their hearts.
"Is this so-called Little Sixth Department headed by me?" Luo Xin still asked gracefully.
"Yes!"
"Then I, the leader of the group, want to ask you?"
"Oh......"
Everyone's faces became unpleasant, according to the rules, it was really like this for a while.
"Brother No, Lord Luo, you can't harm us!" Wen Yinglu said urgently.
"I didn't hurt you!" Luo Xin spread his hands and said, "You have to come up with some regulations, right?" ”
"This ......"
Everyone looked at each other. Zhu Dashou was also a little confused, the reason why he joined the Fuxing Society was also to make a lot of hard work to adjust Luo Xin and the Fuxing Society, knowing that Luo Xin and the ambition of the Fuxing Society would definitely not shirk his responsibilities like Luo Xin did today.
Could it be that Luo Xin's words have any meaning?
