Yao Chong was a shrewd person, so of course he understood the reason.
He didn't expect Li Yi to be so unreasonable. He originally thought that a gentleman would take advantage of the situation and answer his questions.
Now he finally understood that this young man Li Yi was acting according to his mood and had nothing to do with being a gentleman.
If he was happy, he was willing to answer questions.
If he was unhappy, he wouldn't care whether he died or not.
Therefore, he said, "I was just joking. It's really tiring to transport supplies. Don't we have to transport coal after the heavy snow? "
"Add a sled and set up the wheels. When it's snowing, it can slide." Li Yi thought for a while and came up with a solution.
Otherwise, he didn't have any good ideas. In heavy snow, not to mention ox carts, donkey carts, and horse carriages, even cars would collapse.
If they encountered a place where no one was clearing the snow, they could install a sled and still move forward.
The three of them ate. Yao Chong ate the fastest and waited for Li Yi to finish eating. His face was full of expectation.
Li Yi brought the two of them into the courtyard and took out a pen, paper, and ruler to draw a map.
All the carts had two wheels. The axles of the wheels would extend out and there were holes on the outer ring of the axles to drip oil for lubrication.
Li Yi drew two sled boards and three pillars on the sled.
The gap on one of the pillars was just enough for the axles to fit in. The other two pillars supported and fixed the other parts of the carts.
"When we encounter snow or ice, install the sled." Li Yi showed the two of them the map.
Li Yi said with a helpless expression. He couldn't take out a snow-removing cart, so he could only resort to trickery.
However, in the eyes of Li Chengqi and Yao Chong, this was a big step in history.
In winter, the carts could be equipped with two boards and pillars. When they encountered snow or ice, they could install the boards under the wheels and slide away.
When there was no more snow, they could remove the boards and turn the wheels.
"This is good. Li Dongzhu is a great talent." Yao Chong praised generously. He secretly thought that he had made the right choice this time.
He had been fretting over how to transport goods during the winter, which happened every year. This year, he tried to find a way and unexpectedly came up with a good idea.
"We still have to focus on repairing the roads and clearing the snow." Li Yi emphasized the most important thing. They couldn't let no one clear the snow just because there was one thing.
Yao Chong nodded. This was something he could not promise. With his current status, he could not say how many people he could organize to remove the snow.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yao Chong took the drawing and ran off. He had to go back and find someone to make it. He really couldn't wait.
Li Yi, on the other hand, went to check on the newcomers. After the newcomers had finished bathing and changed into dry new clothes, they were ordered to rest and were not allowed to work.
Li Yi requested it. He was afraid that the group of people would be tired and hungry after traveling for a long time. Once they reached a place to eat something to relax their minds, they would suddenly start working and suffer from cardiovascular disease.
And the one thing he was most unwilling to treat was cardiovascular disease. It involved a lot of subjects, such as cardiology, cardiology, neurology, brain surgery …
He was all alone and didn't even have an assistant.
The newcomers thought that Dongzhu was taking care of them. They never thought that it was because Dongzhu was afraid of trouble.
The villagers introduced the rules to the newcomers as if they were chatting, including personal hygiene, work and rest, prevention of charcoal poisoning, family disputes, and so on.
"Can't I hit my own wife?" A man was unhappy. He felt that it was right to hit his own wife.
"Yes, you can hit her. After that, get out. Don't look for work in Zhuangzi." A woman beside Zhuangzi was unhappy. Why did women have to be hit?
The newcomer did not dare to look at her directly. He turned his head and muttered something like "I hit you secretly."
"Secretly?" The woman in Zhuangzi stared at him.
Another villager smiled and shook his head. "No, when women bathe together, they can see if there are injuries on their bodies. Don't say that you accidentally touched it. Our Dongzhu is a miracle doctor."
"No, no." The man gave in. He still wanted to survive the winter. He could not afford to offend them.
"Brother Yi, is it really inappropriate for a man to hit his own woman?" Li Chengqi had received a traditional education and felt that there was no problem.
"Big brother, if a man needs to rely on violence to gain status in the family, then he is too useless.
I am in charge of the whole Zhuangzi. Have you seen me hit anyone? It's okay for adults to hit children. I tell them how to hit them. They can't injure them or kill them. There are ways to hit them. "
Li Yi smiled when he talked about hitting children. This was because some of the children who were beaten at night complained to him during the day that their parents hit them in the wrong place.
The little guy was better at being beaten than studying. He already had some experience.
The problem was that he was beaten because he was not good at his studies. Couldn't he just focus on his studies?
Soon, Li Yi's words spread throughout Zhuangzi. The villagers supported him. Only a useless man would hit his own woman.
On the other hand, Yao Chong ran back and looked for Li Longji with the blueprint. He did not want to go to the Ministry of Works to meet Wei Zhigu.
After looking around, he found the Pear Garden. Li Longji was' talking 'to a group of people.
"One day, a man from Yangping Wei, surnamed Le, named Jin, courtesy name Wenqian, came to join Cao Cao …"
This was the fifth chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There were only five chapters in total.
He pondered when he should go again. He asked Brother Yi to continue thinking and tell the people in the Pear Garden.
He wanted to teach them how to 'talk' better. In the future, if there was a new one that was not as good as this one, he would speak according to this. If there was a better one, he would reward them!
Many people listened attentively. This was the first time they were listening to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. They were attracted by the story.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have been feeling uneasy these past few days because of the snow on the roads. Today, I coincidentally came up with a method that can solve the problem of the carriage not being able to travel on the snowy roads."
Yao Chong listened patiently to Li Longji until he said, "The outcome of the battle is unknown. Please listen to the next part of the story." Only then did he speak.
Li Longji looked at Yao Chong. He stared at Yao Chong until Yao Chong felt guilty. He asked, "You went to Zhuangzi again?"
The 'Zhuangzi' he spoke of was a special place.
Yao Chong calmly said, "Yes. When I went there, I learned that there was a woman who had not eaten for many days and had collapsed at the head of the Ba River Bridge. Li Yi ran over and knelt down to save her. Soon, the woman woke up. Li Yi's medical expertise is superb.
Yao Chong praised. He knew that His Majesty liked to hear this.
Sure enough, Li Longji smiled. "Yi … Dongzhu is exactly that kind of person. What method did Yao Qing find? "
Yao Chong stepped forward and showed Li Longji a diagram. "Add a seesaw to the wheels and drag it through the ice and snow."
Li Longji looked and nodded. "The individual sleigh he told me about has to be flexible. If it is winter, we can use this to transport Baggage. We can also choose to use the individual sleigh. The price of the sleigh is lower than the carriage."
"Your Majesty knows about the existence of sleighs?" Yao Chong was puzzled.
"I also know that the infantrymen can use skis and poles to move quickly in the snow. When the weather is cold and the snow is heavy, I will have the Winged Knights try it first."
Li Longji's mood became better when he mentioned the Winged Knights.
He planned to expand the army at the beginning of spring next year and increase the size of the army to thirty thousand.
Then, some of the weaker Zeyong Manor could be removed and let them live a normal life.
Yao Chong was in a bad mood. The Winged Knights were strong, but he could not command them.
This army was in the forbidden garden behind. On the surface, it was training, but in reality, it was because His Majesty did not trust others. If something happened, the Winged Knights could charge to the rescue.
Each of them had three horses, weapons, and a bag of Baggage that could last for three days.
"Yao Chong, since you found the method, send someone to do it and see if it will take time." Li Longji wanted to continue playing with the people of the pear garden and said to Yao Chong.
