"At the bottom, the wire drawing method is used to make the spring wire I told you, and it is added to the gap between the axle and the frame, so that the load bearing is better, and the car can easily pull more."

"Yes, proprietor."

Four-wheel steering plus spring is a great invention in the history of horse-drawn carriages, in fact, there were four-wheeled chariots in early China, but the problem of steering and axles was not solved, and horse warfare was very primitive, and later was eliminated by cavalry warfare, and the development of vehicles in China came to a standstill. In fact, now whether it is a four-wheeled or two-wheeled carriage in the north, it is not the main force of transportation, the real main force is the manpower wheelbarrow, the kind of car was seen in the countryside when Zhang Han was a child, you can imagine how strong the vitality is, the family goes out of the house, the male owner puts a belt on the shoulder, the woman and the child and the luggage sit in front, the cart is on the ridge and the ditch, walking like flying, the car at that time already has rubber tires, more load-bearing, a car to push three or four hundred pounds is also very easy, a day to walk fifty or sixty miles is not a problem, the liberation war of later generations, It is the victory of millions of people pushed by small carts.

Zhang Han wants to engage in big smuggling and use logistics to engage in big account business, and finally integrate the logistics and financial industries in the north, and then use smuggling to make a fortune, and his demand for horse-drawn carriages is far beyond the needs of ordinary merchants.

Zhang Han finally said: "There are more people in the carriage group, and the reward will be according to the head, which is also five taels per person, and Li Changpole will also take twenty." ”

The result was a great success, the two craftsmen looked at each other, and then turned their heads again, of course they wanted to go to the next level, but it seemed that they did not have this opportunity for the time being.

A group of craftsmen sent Zhang Han out respectfully, and Yang Qiu hurried over outside, and said to Zhang Han when they met: "Owner, Tianchengwei has some trouble over there, and Shopkeeper Li called someone to beat him." ”

Li Yuchun went out to collect grain a few years ago, and he continued to collect tens of thousands of stone grains in the past two months, this person can be regarded as able to endure hardships, and it can be regarded as using actual achievements to atone for his crimes, some of the dissatisfaction with this person in Zhang Han's heart has been dissipated, after listening to Yang Qiu's words, Zhang Han frowned, and said: "There is no beginning or end to the speech, say it carefully from the beginning." ”

"Yes......" Yang Qiu took a breath, thought about it for a while, and then said: "Some people have begun to harvest wheat for a while, and the price of grain is down, and there are three or four thousand silver in Li Er's cabinet, which is enough to buy tens of thousands of stone grain, and he began to set up points to collect grain in Zhenyuwei and Tianchengwei, and collected more than 100 stones every day, our grain price is fair, much higher than those small grain stores, and the people like to go to our grain collection point to sell, and we don't make ghosts on the scale, and there are more people who sell grain after a while, and there are people in Lingqiu in Guangling, Ulzhou, who have come to inquire, The proprietor of the grain store over there panicked, and sent someone to invite him to drink and prostitute the yard, but the second cabinet ignored them, and as a result, he found some green skin tigers who played the line and came to the door to hit the second cabinet, and the grain store also told them to smash it, and they could no longer collect it in the past few days. ”

"Who is that, and how many families are involved in this?"

"This villain doesn't know very well, and the person who came to report it didn't say anything."

Zhang Han looked at Yang Qiu and said: "I always teach you, don't panic when you encounter something, don't make a noise, don't show your traces, listen to things thoroughly, ask clearly, think about the key points in the words, and then come to me and tell me, it's the same to inquire about things, you take two people now, ride a fast horse to the Tiancheng Acropolis, inquire about this matter clearly, and then come back to report it to me, understand?" ”

"Understood."

Yang Qiu feels very good at these things, veterans of the industry in various places are also very good at inquiring about the news, after all, there are many opponents in the bank, and it is necessary to find out the backs and scenes of all parties in case of trouble, and beating people is just a way to make money, inquiring about the news of betrayal, extortion, kidnapping, there are various professionals in each bank, and Yang Qiu is also one of them.

Liang Hong's face was anxious, and when he saw that the craftsmen were turning around and there were no idlers around, he whispered to Zhang Han: "This matter may be the hands and feet of the Fan family." They have always collected grain at this time, colluded with the government to collect arrears early, and made chickens and dogs jump all over the country, these big grain merchants took the opportunity to collect grain at a low price, but the people had it, but they were forced by those officials to sell things cheaply, sometimes even more than one or two or three stones, and they were still playing ghosts when collecting grain, all kinds of tricks made people despicable, last time that Li Mingda sold grain to us, and suffered a secret loss, he is very popular, and the Fan family is not able to tolerate people, if it weren't for the good relationship between the proprietors, I'm afraid they would have already taken action against us. This time, the matter of Tiancheng Acropolis may be the Fan family's ghost. ”

Yang Qiu turned to the front yard, more than 50 dart masters were practicing hard, except for a few old qualifications, most of the dart masters were sent by branches around the country for rotation training, once a month.

It's still early today, I'm practicing physical fitness, everyone's knives and spears are placed on both sides, neatly placed, not messy at all, Wang Changfu has a lot of ideas, the important thing is that this guy is still literate, Zhang Han called him to the house every day, and he went to get up in the evening before leaving, the two studied Qi Dashuai's military book together, and many training methods were studied by the two of them, of course, many of the content of physical training were contributed by Zhang Han, such as the push-ups in front of him.

In Yang Qiu's eyes, more than fifty people lay on the ground and then stood up, their arms propped up, each person's movements were quite neat, and the panting sound was not very urgent, originally when this thing was just made, everyone was not serious, who knew that the chest and arms were sore when they did dozens of them, and those men who were used to playing with stone locks also felt difficult, and then they felt that this action was excellent, arm strength, chest and back and abdomen, including leg strength were all practiced, and now after practicing for a few months, everyone is not even struggling to do two or three hundred.

Then there are all kinds of equipment, running laps outside the fort every day, sit-ups, etc., everyone's physical fitness is greatly increased, and the other is the training of equipment, knife and card training, knife and gun confrontation, spear spear training and long knife training, each other's team cooperation, team confrontation, cooperation between several teams and so on.

The change is obvious, originally the porter and the tiger are mostly able to fight, these months of practice, three or five dart masters to run away more than a dozen green skin things happen from time to time, branches around the country often have people to make trouble, fights are a common thing, this time and Yusheng dart master name has become very loud, Yang Qiu walked on the way home, and he greeted more and more people, people looked at him gradually with some respect, he was originally in the fort in a line, now there are many old partners running to ask to join, However, there is no longer much to recruit Xing and Lahu here, but mainly from the porters of each store, and the strong men who can fight among the military households and farmers are also required, and the number of Lahu has dropped from the absolute majority to less than half, Yang Qiu faintly feels that this is the owner's intention, but he can't figure out why.

Yang Qiu said to Wang Changfu: "Changfu, the proprietor asked to pick two people to go out with me to run errands." ”

"It's easy to do," Wang Changfu nodded and said, "Take your pick." ”

Everyone looked at it together, going out to do things is inevitable from the pain of traveling, and there will be a certain risk, and there may be injuries or something if you start fighting, but compared to boring training, it is more in line with everyone's minds to go out to do errands.

In fact, in Zhang Han's opinion, the training of these people in front of him is not hard...... The period from morning to noon is physical training, running, practicing equipment, doing push-ups, etc., a few hours in the morning pass quickly, take a break for an hour at noon, and in the afternoon according to the record in the soldier's book, practice the mandarin duck battle formation, team cooperation, practice personal skills, two people attack, gun to knife card, long gun to long gun, long knife to knife card, long knife to long knife, so mixed up, the afternoon has passed.

Everyone's spirit is actually very good, whether it is a porter or a tiger background, and Yusheng's little three hundred dart masters have a spirit, physical fitness is great, quick response, familiar equipment, and cooperate with each other is also very tacit, sometimes outside and people fight for turf, three or five dart masters can beat away more than ten or twenty foreign green skins, if you don't usually train, why?

In the future, there will be more and more silver escorted by the account office, and there will be more opportunities to encounter horse thieves and bandits.

Zhang Han often tells everyone this truth, but no matter what, in the eyes of these people, the training is still too hard.

Wang Changfu also said to Zhang Han in private, the border town marshal training, three or five days of exercise, the border army is already the elite of the Ming million king division, like the inner town soldiers and horses, it is rare to practice once a year, the dart master is so drilled, the standard is much higher than the ordinary family, but the family was originally selected from the military households and border troops with strong martial arts, and the riding and archery martial arts are very good before they have to be selected. Wang Changfu planned to take everyone to practice long distances every day for a while, every day on the horse, for many days, so that after three or five months, the riding skills would be passed.

Shooting is not possible, bows and arrows are rare, folk hunting bows are useless, serious foot bows are difficult to make, valuable and expensive, Tianchengwei a guard only pays twenty bows to Datong Town every year, and it is more difficult to get a serious standard foot bow than to make a fire gun.

Fortunately, Zhang Han was already secretly making firearms, which could be regarded as making up for the lack of long-range firepower.

"Zhongfa, Dequan, you two follow."

Yang Qiu looked around, and in the end he still ordered the two people who had always been close to him.

"Holo."

The two people who were ordered were all happy, and they trotted over, both of them were knife players, and they each took their own round shields and waist knives, and went out with Yang Qiu.

Listening to the sound of drills sounding behind him, Wen Zhongfa took a sip and scolded: "Wang Changfu of the dog day, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, practices like this every day, and Lao Tzu can't see this in the barracks." ”

Yang Qiu glanced at him and said with a smile: "You talk a lot of nonsense, you see that Jiang Yi and Jiang Kui are not practicing hard haha, now everyone is in charge of the branch, and there are more than a dozen people under him, and they are in charge of the house, so unhappy." ”

"Running around all day, eating and drinking, what's so happy." Wen Zhong smiled and said: "It's good for us to stay in the fort, in addition to practicing harder, eating and drinking are good, and there is a lot of monthly money, we have already said that we are going to get married soon." ”
