Chapter 509

"Mohou, you must help me!" soon after su dingfang took the order, he went directly to Youwei Valley to block Merton for help.

"Just teach me Merton what this is. Brother Su is now the pioneer of the western expedition and the top priority. As long as you can do it, just speak." Merton said boldly.

"Brother Mo, I want brother Mo to support a group of four-wheel carriages." Su dingfang said shyly. The most important thing to transport grain is the carriage. However, the Mohist family is a manufacturer of four-wheel carriages. Who has more carriages in Chang'an city than the Mohist village, Su dingfang thought of coming to Merton first.

Merton said bluntly, "what's the difficulty? Since brother Su spoke, my younger brother naturally strongly supported. In order to support brother Su, Mojia village dispatched 300 four-wheel carriages for brother Su's drive, how about?"

For an ordinary person, a four-wheel carriage is the foundation of a family's livelihood. For Mojia village, the four-wheel carriage is just a business of Mojia village, which is not too difficult.

Su dingfang stopped and said, "I'm afraid three hundred carriages are a drop in the bucket. Brother Wei is the food and grass for the 200000 army. According to Dai Shangshu's estimation, at least 1500 carriages are needed. Can more carriages come out of Mojia village?"

Merton looked at Su dingfang with a strange eye and said, "brother Su doesn't want to directly recruit 1500 carriages and send them to Lanzhou at one time?"

Su dingfang didn't understand: "that's it? Otherwise, how can it be enough for 200000 troops."

Merton immediately patted his forehead and sighed, "I don't know if brother Su has heard of the express passenger service from Chang'an city to Luoyang in Mojia village."

Su dingfang said in a loud voice, "brother Mo, you don't look down on being a brother! The express carriage in Mojia village is coming and going eight hundred miles from Luoyang to Chang'an city. This is the fastest carriage in Chang'an city. No one in Chang'an city knows."

Su dingfang didn't exaggerate at all. On the night of the Lantern Festival, the express carriage in Mojia village became famous. Now the express carriage business from Luoyang to Chang'an city can be said to be booming.

Merton showed a trace of pride and said, "brother Su doesn't know. Not only can the passenger transport of Mojia village reach Chang'an City in one day, but even the freight of Mojia village can reach Luoyang City in two days, with a load of 5000 kg and an average daily travel of 400 Li."

Su dingfang thought deeply and said, "brother Mo means that the escort of military grain this time is like the general change of people, horses and cars in Mojia village!"

Thinking of this, Su dingfang couldn't help but brighten his eyes. If the escort of military grain could be like the freight of Mojia village, wouldn't it greatly speed up the speed and arrive in Lanzhou in three or five days. In this way, he must be able to show his face in front of the Emperor.

"No, I think brother Su can even change his car!" Merton shook his head and said.

"Please teach me, brother Mo!" Su dingfang asked respectfully.

Merton picked up a branch, drew a long and winding line on the ground, drew three circles in the middle of the line, wrote three place names and said, "brother Su, please see, from Chang'an to Lanzhou, you can go through Dingxi, Tianshui and Chencang. If brother Su takes the three cities as a transit, he can greatly speed up the speed of grain transportation without wasting people's strength."

Su dingfang looked at the three cities and couldn't help thinking.

Merton nodded and said, "if an ordinary person is allowed to escort grain and grass thousands of miles away, I'm afraid there will be huge public resentment. If the people of Chang'an city are only transported to Chencang, I'm afraid they will be happy to go."

Su dingfang nodded and said that Chen Cang was only more than 300 li away from Chang'an and could return in two days. Naturally, there was no great obstacle to recruiting civilian husbands. Merton continued: "It's easy to enlist 1500 four-wheel trucks from Chang'an City alone. Moreover, it won't affect the livelihood of the people. It's easy to enlist 100 four-wheel trucks from each city from Chencang to Tianshui, Dingxi, and Mojia village can support brother Su with 300 four-wheel trains. In this way, there is no need for the people to travel thousands of miles and no need to make a big move Brother Su can also finish the grain transportation task as quickly as possible. "

"Two hundred carriages in each city! Isn't it too little to carry much food?" Su dingfang asked uncertainly, although it was fast,

Merton thought and said, "if you want to be fast, I have a way to ensure that you can increase the speed by another three points.

"Can you improve?" Su dingfang couldn't help looking at Merton suspiciously. It was an incredible speed to travel 1500 miles in five days. It was not the limit in Merton's eyes.

Merton definitely nodded and said, "since ancient times, it's common sense to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. When night comes, the road is empty. I wonder if the general wants to transport grain day and night."

"Day and night!" Su dingfang suddenly raised his head and looked at Merton strangely.

Merton nodded affirmatively: "people don't want to drive at night. First, they are afraid of mountain bandits and bandits. Second, all cities have curfews and nowhere to stay. Third, they are too tired after a long journey. However, it's not a difficult thing for brother Su!"

Su dingfang laughed and said, "there are escorting officers and soldiers to escort grain and grass this time. I'm sure no one in Datang dare to make an idea of military grain."

Merton nodded. As for the curfew, with a military warrant, the curfew naturally could not control the soldiers' heads. The rest is nothing more than recruiting more migrant workers. Walking at night just costs a little oil lamp and slows down. Anyway, the speed of four-wheel trucks is not fast.

If you can escort the military grain day and night, as long as there are enough people and horses, I can guarantee that the first batch of military grain will be delivered in three days from Chang'an city to Lanzhou.

"Three days." Su dingfang was shocked. If he could really do it, he would be able to show his face in front of Li Shimin immediately.

It was only three days before the empty train arrived from Lanzhou to Chang'an city. And he is full of military food, which can be reached in the same three days.

Su dingfang laughed and said, "there are no empty scholars under the high reputation. Brother Mo's name really deserves its reputation. In the eyes of ordinary people, the very thorny problems can be easily solved in brother Mo's hands!"

Morton smiled and said with a symbolic shy smile: "brother Mo looks up to my little brother. The brick road has been built. I'm afraid the express transportation business of Mojia village will also extend from Chang'an city to Longyou. This is just the plan created by Mojia village. Brother Su is also looking for the way for my little brother. I hope brother Su will forgive me for his selfishness."

Su dingfang took a deep look at Merton. Merton really can be a man. Even helping people won't be embarrassing and people can't refuse.
