Daqin: Reign in the world

This matter has also spread among the boxers.

The people who were fisted were holding their breath in their hearts. They all hope to see Yuken prosper one day.

This tone still stems from the fact that it was originally renamed by the First Emperor.

Originally called Changxing County, it was quite auspicious a name. As a result, Sheng Sheng changed to Yu Fist, the name of this under-beating.

Among the people, there was an old coachman who ran to the county office to give advice to Wu Qing.

At first, Wu Qing did not take it seriously.

An old coachman who has driven a carriage all his life, what good strategy can he offer?

But halfway through listening, he couldn’t sit still.

Immediately send someone to call Wang Ling over and listen to the old coachman explain this strategy he offered.

The old man was also the first time in his life, sitting in front of the county grandmaster. Facing such a big official, his heart was very nervous.

Wang Ling laid out a blank piece of paper in front of the old coachman. Hand a brush and gesture for him to draw what he is going to talk about.

The old coachman was embarrassed.

“I can’t write or use a brush. I’ll take a branch and draw it on the ground for you to see. ”

Wang Ling and Wu Qing were also unimpressed, and together with the old coachman, they squatted under the tree in the front yard.

The old coachman skimmed off a branch and drew two parallel straight lines on the ground.

“I drove a carriage all my life and discovered a magical phenomenon. It’s the horse wheel, which clatters when rolling over small stones. This will make the horse excited. ”

Wu Qing asked with a solemn expression.

“Old man, has the situation you said been repeatedly verified?”

The old man licked his lips.

“Test, I often test myself. If you don’t believe it, ask other coachmen, they all feel this way. Even on gravel roads, horse-drawn carriages run faster than dirt roads. ”

Wang Ling understood that the old coachman was talking about the problem of the road.

But they don’t usually pay attention to these problems. I don’t know what kind of road surface the old coachman’s final suggestion is?

The county magistrate of the county carried a pot of tea and took three bowls. Come and put it in front of everyone and pour tea.

The old coachman drank a bowl of tea in one go and continued.

“I’ve been thinking that if there is a kind of road surface, every other foot, it can click. Except for the gurgling places, everything else is smooth. So does the carriage run faster than anything? ”

No one knows the answer to this kind of question, so they can only quietly listen to the old coachman.

“I’ve been pondering this question for at least two or three decades. Later, I thought of a method, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to try it. ”

Wu Qing patted the old coachman on the shoulder.

“It’s okay, just say, let’s try it for you and see if it’s a good way?”

The old coachman was very old, but it was the first time he was patted on the shoulder by such a big official, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.

Wiping away his tears, he began to speak again.

“I thought, if you make two stone troughs according to the width of the rut. The bottom is lined with planed wood. For every distance, leave an opening. In this way, the carriage can play its fastest speed! ”

The old coachman said as he drew on the ground with branches.

But those two lines had been drawn by him in a mess, and nothing could be seen.

Instead, the old coachman described the road surface, which is very specific. Wang Ling and Wu Qing imagined that picture at the same time.

Just try it.

Paving such a pavement is not easy, but it is not so difficult either.

The ground was leveled and laid with stone slabs, leaving two rut dents in the middle, and wooden rails underneath.
