The sun was still high in the western sky, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, which was very different from the scene when they used to come in the evening. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is a factory area, which is very different from the bustling area of the capital where there are many idlers.

Everyone got off the oil wall car and looked around, and they were all surprised.

"Oh, isn't there Song Zijing? How did they get here? ”

Zeng Gongliang pointed to a few people not far away, and turned to everyone.

Xu Ping looked at it and said, "It should be invited by Wang Junzhen, you don't see him there." ”

Wang Gongchen has been in the pavilion for a long time, and he has a good relationship with these people. It's also boring for everyone to live in the capital, and getting together every once every three or five times is the biggest pastime.

The people over there also saw Xu Ping and his entourage, hurriedly walked over, and saluted Xu Ping one by one.

After the ceremony, Xu Ping asked Wang Gongchen: "Now that the weather is hot and dry, what are you doing there?" ”

Wang Gongchen smiled embarrassedly: "Over there is the carriage from the new field service, and a few of us will watch there." Because it is different from the horse-drawn carriages that you see in the city, there are many discussions. ”

"It was a wagon for carrying goods, of course different from a wagon for carrying passengers. The field affairs are slowly starting to ship, how can we do without a car to transport things? Besides, this car is made and sold to the people, which is also an income, and it can be convenient for the people to carry goods. ”

Wang Gongchen said: "It was because we knew that it was a car transporting goods that we were there to discuss." You see, in addition to the oil-walled cars we usually take here, the Taiping cars used on the market outside are also four-wheeled, why is this new carriage only two-wheeled? Compared with a four-wheeled car, isn't there less cargo pulled on two wheels? ”

Xu Ping listened to it and said angrily: "How much cargo is pulled depends on the size of the body, what does it have to do with the number of wheels?" ”

Wang Gongchen shook his head again and again: "It's just that we still can't understand why this carriage transporting goods doesn't use four wheels like the carriage carrying passengers, and it doesn't look a little shabby if it is missing two wheels?" ”

Xu Ping looked at the few people standing there just now, all of them looked incomprehensible, his heart moved, and he said to everyone: "It naturally makes sense that the carriage for transporting goods has been changed from four wheels to two wheels. So then, if any of you can make this clear, I will have a reward today, a great reward! ”

Wang Gongchen was stunned: "Why?" This is not a business matter, why should you give a reward? ”

"Because I see you people, none of you can explain the reason. Read and write articles, you can talk like a river, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, down to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and you can casually say tens of thousands of words. But I don't know anything about these things. The sages often talked about the knowledge of the world, which is nothing more than physical life, which is physics, and it is also a kind of learning. Those of us who are officials and officials, pay attention to life and learning, and cultivate ourselves with righteous hearts so that we will not fall into the evil way. It is also necessary to talk about physics and understand the truth of all things in the world, so that we can be comfortable in handling political affairs, and we will not be ignorant and blindly nonsense. You are in the Pavilion, and it is the time to learn the truths of the world, so I will test you today. ”

Wang Gongchen grinned and said, "I don't know what the deputy envoy wants to reward us, it's too light, I'm afraid that no one cares." ”

Xu Ping smiled slightly: "Then how do you think you want to get the reward?" How about the new four-wheeled carriage in the field? ”

As soon as Xu Ping's voice fell, the people around him gasped, this heavy reward was really too heavy. The new car should be at least two or two times, and the decoration should be a little more luxurious, and more than a thousand times is nothing.

"The deputy envoy said this, but seriously?" Zeng Gongliang looked at Xu Ping and asked carefully.

Xu Ping looked at him and smiled: "Can you see that I said something inappropriate?" ”

Xu Ping's reward was too heavy, and everyone was stunned for a while before they realized that Xu Ping was not joking. Although he knew that Xu Ping dared to say this, he must have something to rely on, and they all gathered around the freight carriages.

These cars were made today in the field service, pulled out and tested on the road, and the people who arrived here to test the car went to the tea shop next to them to drink tea, and the car was parked on the side of the road.

The carriage is light and flexible, and it is very suitable for people to ride, but these characteristics are obviously different from the requirements of transporting goods. And the two-wheeled carriage, even if it is walking on a flat road, is constantly upside down, and it is actually inappropriate to carry passengers, especially for the elderly and women, who would rather ride in an ox cart.

However, although the two-wheeled carriage is bumpy, it is conducive to heavy loads, can give full play to the horsepower, and is also suitable for long-distance transportation.

The truth is this truth, but to be able to analyze and understand this truth, Xu Ping believes that none of these people can do it.

In fact, they have not really used these two types of vehicles, but they have actually used these two vehicles to transport goods, and many people are afraid that two-wheeled vehicles are more efficient than four-wheeled vehicles to transport goods. And to analyze and understand, you really need some professional knowledge.

Xu Ping just wanted to take this opportunity to make these literati understand that it was useless to read the books of sages and sages. In fact, Confucius himself was always ashamed to ask questions when he encountered things he didn't understand, and his disciples and grandchildren picked up the shelves of scholars.

Following everyone to the two parked carriages, Xu Ping stood silently aside.

One of the two cars had unloaded the horse and tied it to a willow tree on the side of the road to drink, and the other had a horse still on the cart.

After going around the car, Ouyang Xiu was the first to speak, and when he came to Xu Ping, he arched his hand and said: "To be made, in a certain opinion, in fact, there is nothing mysterious about this car with two wheels, but it is because the donkey carts and carriages used by the people before were like this, and the craftsmen of the three divisions of the car just made it like this according to the old practice." ”

Xu Ping looked at Ouyang Xiu and didn't speak, until he looked a little weak-hearted, and then he spoke: "Every thing in the new field service system of the three divisions, I have to look at it before selling." This car was made like this, I agreed with the craftsmen, but you said that it was just according to the previous folk customs, do you think I am stupid or you are stupid? ”

After listening to Ouyang Xiu's words, Xu Ping almost smacked him, I gave a reward of a few hundred yuan, do you think I am playing brain teasers with you people? It's so easy, I just throw the money on the ground and listen to it!

Ouyang Xiu couldn't help blushing when he saw that Xu Ping's words were unkind, but he didn't dare to attack. His pavilion collation is too far away from Xu Ping's Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, and he is indeed disrespectful to Xu Ping when he gives this kind of answer.

Standing in place with an embarrassed expression for a while, Ouyang Xiu bowed his hand to Xu Ping: "It's Xiaguan Meng Lang!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and returned to the car, looked left and right, held back a lot of strength in his heart, and found out the truth that Xu Ping said, and took a good breath. Everything in the world looks like a thousand things, but the truth is still simple, what's so difficult about this problem?
