Chapter 497

Strange carriage?

Don't carriages all look the same? What's so strange?

When Xu Zixuan saw the carriage outside, he was slightly stunned and looked at Dousha.

"This carriage is really strange." Xu Zixuan couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and said solemnly to the bean paste on one side.

Xu Zixuan went to the carriage and took a close look at the wheel of the carriage. It seemed that the wheel had been polished. It was very smooth and comfortable to touch. It seemed that there was something else on it.

I just think that thing looks very familiar. Suddenly, Xu Zixuan remembered that the toilet they used was coated with this kind of thing.

The carriage is twice as big as the previous one. It's a rectangle. Three or four people lying side by side in it will not feel narrow.

For the first time, Xu Zixuan saw the carriage with four wheels. He looked at the bean paste behind him with a smile, and his eyes were bright. "Come up and have a look."

"Yes." Dousha ran to Xu Zixuan.

The carriage was only on one side of the tree trunk, not tied to the horse.

After two people climbed up, they found that there was a large space inside. The boards on both sides could be adjusted, and they could be put up directly. There was no need to worry about the size inside. There was a good wool carpet on the floor, and there was a small slot around it, which should be used for lighting.

There is a small table inside. The table is big and can be fixed under it. It can be put away directly.

"It should be made by my mother." The smile on Dousha's face is more brilliant. She looks at Xu Zixuan and says, "Niang is the best at making these things."

"Yes." Looking at the curtain, Xu Zixuan knew that if he could hide behind the curtain when changing clothes, he said confusedly, "there is so much space in it, but it seems that there is no place to put things."

Hearing Xu Zixuan say so, Dousha is also worried. They really need a place to put things.

"Zixuan, Dousha?" Lin Guyu heard the voice of the two of them in the carriage, and hurriedly walked to the side of the carriage and came to the door, and saw the two men sitting in the carriage.

"Mother."

"Auntie."

Dousha came out of the carriage and quickly climbed out. Lin Guyu helped him jump down from the carriage.

Xu Zixuan got out of the carriage.

"Mother, where are our things?" Dousha said with a headache, "although the carriage is very big, it doesn't seem that there are many places to put things."

Looking at the appearance of Dousha, Lin Guyu couldn't help laughing, "you two can only take a box as big as a bench, and all the boxes are put behind the carriage."

Lin Guyu said, taking two people to the back of the carriage.

When he just came out, Xu Zixuan had been observing the front of the carriage, completely ignoring the board behind the carriage. There was an extra board at the back, which was supposed to be the place to put the box.

"Don't put too many things," said Lin Guyu. "In case of rain, you may get wet."

Lin Guyu improved the carriage. In order to make the carriage run faster, a manual wheel fixing device was set on one side. In this way, if something happens, the carriage can be separated from the horse directly, and the carriage can be controlled by them to stop without any danger.

The purpose of making the space of the carriage larger is to think that people will be more comfortable in it and will not feel uncomfortable. After all, it's a long way to go.

Four or two carriages have been prepared. They are all the same size. The first one is for Chi hang and Lin Guyu. The second one is for three children and their servant girls. The third one is for Dousha and Xu Zixuan. The fourth one is for some servant girls.

Some boys were sitting on the board of the carriage outside.

Xu Feng didn't agree with Lin Guyu's going to the South with some children. After all, there might be all kinds of dangers along the way. But when Lin Guyu's carriage was designed and eight people went with him, all the dark guards went out in the dark.

When they left in a carriage, the people around them saw their carriage and marveled. Without their knowledge, Chi's carriage became a popular thing in the whole capital.

If it was the original carriage, it would take a month to get to the water city in the south. But Lin Guyu specially reduced the friction and friction of the carriage wheels. He was worried that the wheels were not enough. He also prepared a lot of spare tires, which took half the time.

They had a rest in an inn outside Shuicheng, thinking of going to the city tomorrow.

Because water city runs through all kinds of cities, there are not many places to walk, so it is called water city.

Chi hang and Lin Guyu are strolling around the water city with some children, but they don't know that the capital has been in chaos for a long time.

Because the official of Jingzhou captured the prince of Xiongnu, the two sides had been negotiating because of this matter. The Xiongnu side pressed the northern border with so many soldiers on the border, forcing the imperial court to release people.

Prince Rong Jin sat in the room, looking at the people kneeling down seriously, and said coldly, "what do you think?"

The three people standing below, one by one sophisticated eyes, nose, nose, heart, do not speak.

The prince of Xiongnu was detained by them, but the people on the Xiongnu side were not willing to send things to the capital. The only thing they could promise was to live in peace with the imperial court in the past ten years.

Rong Jin didn't want to let go so easily. They finally caught the prince directly. How could they ask the Huns to spit out some blood and teach a long lesson.

The Xiongnu's proposal of such an unequal treaty was to bully the poor imperial court and was unable to supply food and grass to the soldiers on the border. It is estimated that the big prince left the capital and the Xiongnu attacked.

But the emperor thought that there was a shortage of food in the north. This year, there was a severe drought, and the harvest was not very good. Many people were not ready to deliver food.

Rich families, one by one, hold their food tightly, even if they hold knives around their necks, those people will never hand over their food.

Headache.

Some time ago, the imperial court only managed to eat the food allocated to the northern military camp for a period of time. I don't know how the people in the military camp ate during this period.

Rong Jin also sent all the food from the shops below, but she couldn't bear the large number of people in the barracks.

If there is a war, I don't know how long the barracks can resist.

Just because they knew they didn't have so much money, the Huns didn't intend to let the court go.

Although Rong Jin is the prince, she doesn't have much money.

There are a lot of things that the emperor rewarded. They can only keep them, but they can't sell them. They also need to maintain the operation of the whole Prince's palace. If they manage the upper and lower parts of the palace, they will get even less money.

A little boy came in from the outside, glanced at the people on the ground, knelt down in front of Rong Jin, "tell the prince, the north will report!"

"Present it!" Rong Jin raised her eyes slightly and looked at the boy's face.

Rong Jin vaguely knows what the people over there in the barracks wrote, which is nothing but food and grass.

This is really a big problem.

When Rong Jin opened the envelope, looking at the contents, her face was full of joy, and her mouth couldn't help stirring up.

He knew that the Chi family would give him a big surprise.

"Pa!"

Heavily in the hands of the letter patted on the side of the table, Rong Jin cold eye swept the people kneeling on the ground, the more look at those people are not pleasing to the eye.

Feeling the pressure of his Highness the prince, the three kneeling people's bodies could not help shaking for a while, and their heads were even lower. If there was a seam on the ground, maybe several people would go in directly.

One by one, these officials took money from the common people and hid it. Now he wants them to spit it out.

"It's getting late." Rong Jin stood up, went to the front of those people and said coldly, "I'll invite you to dinner today!"

Please eat?

The three men kneeling on the ground looked at each other, but they still didn't understand how his royal highness, who had just been furious, was in the mood to invite him to dinner?

It's just that how many of them have the courage to ask the prince to invite them to dinner. One by one, they follow Rong Jin and go out. Then they let the little guy go home to get the money.

Wait until the time of the pool home hot pot shop, Rong Jin led to go first.

It is estimated that these officials usually come here to spend money, but Rong Jin wants to let them all come here to eat in the future, and all the money earned will be given to Chi's family. It is estimated that Chi hang will also donate part of it to the military camp, which just scrapes some oil from these corrupt officials, saving them a lot of fat.

The military camp was so poor that the imperial court needed such broad-minded and patriotic people as Chi hang.

I don't know how they did it. There are hundreds of thousands of Jin of grain, which are transported to the barracks one after another.

It's the grain that those people in the barracks are holding now, which can guarantee them for three months.

It's a very tense time now. It's not easy to spend a month. As long as they stick to it for three months, they may be able to kill the Huns directly.

Think of this, Rong Jin's mood can't help flying up.

It's a treat for dinner, but it's mainly the people who pay for it. Rong Jin smiles all the way. After dinner, she goes straight to the palace.

Rong Jin is not only invited to dinner, but also the first choice for the Tians is Chi Hang's shop. During this time, Deng Zhang looked at the account book, and his eyes almost fell.

The emperor is very happy to hear what Chi hang has done, and he will reward Chi hang for anything he says.

But Rong Jin stopped, said is waiting for the Xiongnu things are all over, when the time is to give the Chi family praise.

The prince was as heavy as Mount Tai in the Hun Khan's heart. It took more than a month, but there was still no way to get the imperial court to agree to their request.

Later, Khan accidentally inquired about it. When he heard that the army still had several months of grain in store, they intended to consume the army without food, but they didn't want a mysterious man to send food to the army.
