Chapter 1191

Brothers, the ranking of the monthly ticket list has fallen all the way! Sir, I think we can still save it. Ask for a ticket!

……

Zhu Di and his party arrived at Jubao mountain guard. Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji were already waiting.

Zhu Di dismounted, looked at the soldiers lined up inside and asked, "didn't Zhan Ji have any lessons today?"

The question let the civil servants breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhu Di still insists on Confucianism first, then any science is just a joke.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson stopped his homework for half a day today."

Zhu Zhanji used to accompany Zhu Di into the military camp and said, "Grandpa Huang, Zhu GUI can have grandchildren there. If someone wants to use the things invented here in the future, they have to give money, otherwise the things invested by grandchildren in these years will be gone."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "what do you charge for things that benefit the country and the people?"

Jin Youzi and LV Zhen in the back looked at each other and couldn't help smiling.

Your highness, the grand grand grandson of the Ming Dynasty, actually cares about money like a vendor. It's really... Unprecedented!

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, if there is no return on the investment, who will study new things regardless of the cost in the future? We wait for others to come out and imitate or go directly, or else we can do it?"

Zhu Di said, "you are right. The year before last, you said you had no money. You borrowed a lot from me. Do you have it from the Ministry of work?"

Zhu Zhanji said timidly, "Grandpa Huang, the work department just took a lot of minerals. My grandson has been clear at the beginning of this year. Only what you still owe."

The money that grandson owed grandpa was an interesting thing for Zhu Di, so he had a soft eyebrow and went all the way to Zhu Fang.

Zhu Fang changed into a new suit today. Seeing Zhu Di flustered, she hurried to salute with the craftsmen.

"Don't bother. Show me the car quickly."

Zhu Fang couldn't be excited. He took Zhu Di to the railway track step by step and said, "Your Majesty, this is the railway track. The horse runs on it with the car. It saves a lot of energy and can pull a lot of goods."

Zhu Di squatted down, knocked on the track with his fist, touched the sleeper and asked, "if there is this thing in the water transport wharf, many people would be redundant?"

After getting up, Zhu Di saw a pile of iron blocks and a set of pulley blocks at the end of the track, so he nodded and said, "this is what the wharf looks like."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, you'd better have a look first."

"Good!"

Zhu Di got up and Fang woke up and asked Zhu Fang to drive the carriage.

The carriage was big, and it had four wheels, pulled by four horses.

Is this illegal?

The thought flashed by, and LV Zhen immediately smiled bitterly.

This is a truck, not a man.

"Your Majesty, these horses are just ordinary horses. Just because the car needs to load goods, they are made more solid."

Zhu Di went to check it himself, and the officials joined in the fun. For a time, the tracks and carriages were full of people.

Zhu Di was so familiar with horses that he could distinguish them at a glance. He mainly checked the carriage.

"Well, let's go."

The carriage went up the track along the small slope specially left. Zhu Fang shouted. The craftsmen easily lifted the iron block with a pulley block and put it in the carriage.

"Grandpa Huang, an iron block weighs 80 Jin."

Zhu Zhanji proudly looked at the pulley block and easily lifted the iron block.

One, two, three

Yang Rong was numb. Jin Zhong asked loudly, "how much is that Xinghe Bo?"

Fang woke up without counting and said casually, "I don't know. Finally, it should be filled up. It's about 100 yuan."

what the hell! Eight kilos!

Zhu Di was quite impressed by the wharf. When he led the army to start the Jingnan war, he set out from Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei was called Zhigu at that time. The goods in the South were transported here by water and to the north.

Zhu Di couldn't help but look nostalgic when he remembered that when the army set out, the people on the wharf were transporting goods and baggage like ants.

How many civilian men could have been saved if such means had been used at that time!

War is burning money, but it is also burning people.

Regardless of ancient and modern times, the army's supplies are transported in place step by step by manpower and animal power.

How about this horse drawn rail car?

When the carriage was full, a man came and sat in front of the carriage. The whip swung and the four horses moved together.

"Move, move!"

Eight kilos is only a figure for civil servants, but after seeing the number of iron blocks, they all doubt whether the four horses can pull.

There were two horses on each side. It was difficult at first, but after the carriage moved, the action became easier.

The coachman sat in a seat on the front of the carriage with a whip in his hand. After a cry, the carriage gradually accelerated.

"Run!"

Yang Shiqi has sat in carriages and ox carts for countless times and knows the speed of carriages.

But the carriage can run so easily and quickly after pulling 8000 kilograms of goods. If there is nothing, what if it is pulling people?

In this wishful thinking, Yang Shiqi heard someone exclaim: "I'm going out!"

The speed of the carriage was faster and faster, but the track was so long that if it rushed out, it was estimated that the people and horses would overturn.

Yang Rong looked at Fang and woke up, but the clouds were light and the wind was light.

mean to be mysterious!

"Ga......"

At this time, a strange noise came from the carriage in front, and then the carriage began to slow down.

Slowly, the carriage finally stopped a little in front of the end of the track.

"Eh!"

Liu Guan, who had better eyesight, said in surprise, "the coachman didn't get off. How did the carriage stop?"

Chinese carriages and ox carts have a long history, but the way of braking is very poor.

The first braking method is that before going downhill, the coachman puts down a stick connected to the carriage, and the rope is connected to the stick. The coachman runs to the back of the car to pull the rope, and the stick rubs against the wheel. This is the braking.

The second is to lean against a "brake stick" at the back of the car. When the driver wants to slow down, he comes down and tilts the car back. The stick rubs against the ground to slow down.

But the coachman didn't get off just now!

After getting closer, everyone saw that the coachman was still in the car, and their interest increased greatly.

Most of these civil and military officials travel by horse, but their families have to travel by car.

In recent years, there have been many horse surprises. The coachman had no time to react and had to pull the reins desperately.

If you can brake, how much can you save!

Fang woke up and watched coldly. He saw Liu Guan, Jian Yi and Jin Youzi walking past. Then he squatted down and looked at the wheel carefully to find the brake device.

Others, especially Wu Xun, including LV Zhen, gathered around the carriage, carefully looked at the structure of the carriage and went to check the tracks.

"What's the reason?"

The four horses pulled so easily that everyone thought two horses were OK.

Zhu Fang was squeezed outside and said with a sweat: "Your Majesty, this is..."

"You come in and say."

Everyone dodged. Zhu Fang came in, pointed to the rail and wheel and said, "Your Majesty, the wheel is cast, with an outer edge, which coincides with the rail below. In this way, the resistance to running is very small."

"Resistance?"

Jin Zhong looked confused.

Zhu Fang nodded and said, "yes, it's resistance. When the weight is pressed on the wheel, the friction between the wheel and the ground is resistance, and this track coordination can reduce the resistance to the minimum. Once the speed starts, the inertia will be large and the force on the horse will be small..."

Jin Zhong was still confused. Zhu Fang reluctantly picked up a stone and rubbed it on the ground. He said, "if there is no rail, the wheels of the carriage will rub against the ground in this way, resulting in a lot of resistance. The rail and track are relatively smooth, and the resistance can be reduced."

"And with four wheels, the horse doesn't have to bear weight. It just needs to pull the cart. This is not only stable, but also saves horsepower."

Looking at a group of ignorant ministers, Zhu Di said expressionless, "who taught these?"

Zhu Fang didn't think of anything else at all. She blurted out: "this is the science taught in the Academy."

silent!

Just now, the officials who were still wandering around the carriage seemed to have been hit by the immobilization method and did not move.

This invention that can save time, manpower and cost is something in science?

Zhu Zhanji said, "Grandpa Huang, there is this truth in the physics book. As long as you study hard and practice hard, most people can understand it. It's uncertain that someone can invent something more powerful one day."

Is everyone Yao and Shun?

The ministers had complex eyes and tangled hearts.

Zhu Di said faintly, "let's have a look and see what else this car can do."

As a result, the distressed officials began to "study" unwilling and unwilling.
