"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the estimate of the villain, this kind of carriage should be able to carry fifty stones!"

Ying Qi hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "However, if the load is so heavy, at least eight horses or mules are needed to pull it!"

"Fifty stone!"

After hearing this, Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and the others all felt something in their hearts.

On the other hand, Li Chang was shocked.

Fifty stones, Li Xuan estimated that it should be six thousand catties.

"Can a horse pull it?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Back to the adults, the villain can move it alone!"

Ying Qi said quickly.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded reassuringly.

"Li Chang, hurry up and get a horse, give it a try!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

So, Li Chang, who had just come back not long ago, hurried out again.

Soon, Li Chang returned again.

At the same time, behind him, Xue Rengui walked in leading a horse.

"See Your Majesty, see Your Highness the Crown Prince, gentlemen!"

After Xue Rengui bowed to Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and the others, he looked at the four-wheeled carriage with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Come on, harness that horse to the carriage!"

Li Xuan commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui quickly followed his words.

Hitching the poor horse to the carriage, this kind of thing Xue Rengui did a lot when he was a child, and besides, Ying Qi, Wu Fu and other craftsmen assisted him.

Soon, the poor horse was harnessed to the carriage.

"Walk around!"

Li Xuan said quickly.

"Yes!"

Although he didn't understand what Li Xuan meant, Xue Rengui still led the horse and turned around the field.

Fortunately, when building this forge, Li Xuan asked Ying Qi, Wu Fu and others to build it bigger.

It is only a small room, but it can also be used by a carriage.

"That's it!"

After two laps, Li Xuan called to stop.

"Okay, this horse can be taken out!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Regarding this, Xue Rengui didn't ask much, and led the horse, and walked out.

Chapter 291 Your Majesty, Let’s Drive a Carriage

"Your Majesty?"

Ying Qi, Wu Fu and others looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, "You will be rewarded with three hundred guan, as for how you will distribute it internally, you will discuss and decide on your own!"

Immediately, Ying Qi, Wu Fu and the others were overjoyed.

"Thank you king!"

And this time, two personal guards came in with two cold melons and two basins of cold ice.

"This matter was originally promised by the king. As long as you can invent more good things, not to mention a few hundred coins, even if it is an official position, the king can give it to you!"

Li Xuan said with a light smile.

Ying Qi, Wu Fu and the others thanked each other again.

"This kind of carriage can sit people and carry goods!"

Li Xuan continued: "Hurry up and make more. In the future, the carriages in the village will use this carriage. In addition, make a few more better carriages. This king will use this kind of carriage when he travels in the future!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ying Qi, Wu Fu and others bowed their hands again.

Later, after explaining some details, Li Xuancai turned around and left with Li Chengqian and others who were still somewhat reluctant.

On the same day, Li Chang took Xue Rengui and other personal guards to move three hundred coins from the courtyard to the forge.

Ying Qi and Wu Fu were naturally excited about this.

Even if they share equally, everyone can get ten guan.

However, as the main craftsmen who made the carriages, Ying Qi, Wu Fu and others naturally got more, fifty guan each.

So much money, but they couldn't earn it in the three years of prison!

a few days later.

All the carriages in Lijiazhuang were replaced with four-wheeled carriages.

In less than a day, the entire Chang'an City knew about it.

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were the first to find them.

"What's the matter with you two?"

Seeing the two sweating profusely in front of him, Li Xuan asked curiously.

"My lord, the two of us are here for the four-wheeled carriage in the village!"

Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo hurriedly cupped their hands and said.

"A carriage?"

Li Xuan was a little dazed.

"Back to Your Majesty, that's exactly it!"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde quickly said, "Nowadays, the whole city of Chang'an is spreading rumors that you have created a particularly huge carriage, and it has four wheels that can pull a hundred stones at a time!"

"A hundred stones?"

Li Xuan looked helpless, "They exaggerated. The four-wheeled carriage can pull objects worth fifty shi at most, and at least eight horses are needed to pull them!"

"Fifty stone?"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help opening their mouths.

"My lord, can you really carry fifty stones?"

"Ying Qi and Wu Fu two craftsmen estimate, but I haven't tried it yet, if you want to try it, you can try it!"

Li Xuan curled his lips and said.

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were taken aback for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, and did not continue to ask more questions.

In such a hot weather, it will be very difficult to try fifty stones, not to mention finding such a heavy thing.Even if it is an experiment, it can make them die of heat!

"Your Majesty, I wonder if it is possible to give some of this kind of carriage to Jincha Shop?"

"Ok?"

Li Xuan was taken aback.

"My lord, I also want to use these big carriages to transport some fried tea!" Cui Hongmo said hastily.

"Yes, but the bigger the carriage, the more inconvenient it will be to walk on the mountain road. You need to know about this!"

Li Xuan reminded.

"Please rest assured, your majesty, in fact, the roads between many states are still very smooth!"

Cui Hongmo quickly said, "And now, half of the cement road from Chang'an City to Luoyang has been paved, so it's much easier to walk!"

"It's up to you, I can make a few for you!"

Li Xuan nodded.

Afterwards, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde left contentedly.

The next day.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others also came to Lijiazhuang full of curiosity.

"I don't know what your majesty is here for?"

Li Xuan asked again with a helpless expression.

"I heard that there is a four-wheeled carriage in Xuanba Zhuangzi?"

Li Shimin said quickly.

Sure enough!

Li Xuan stuffed a piece of cold ice into his mouth and stood up.

"This kind of four-wheeled carriage can only carry fifty stones at most. If there is any problem, I can take your Majesty to the forge and have a look in person!"

"So much better!"

Li Shimin looked happy.

Afterwards, he directly picked up the cold ice on the coffee table, and followed Li Xuan out.

Li Xuan couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, these few people no longer regarded themselves as outsiders!

Soon, several people came to the forge.

This time, Ying Qi, Wu Fu and others have already assembled two carriages.

Seeing the carriage twice as big as usual, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others couldn't help but their eyes lit up.

Quickly walked up.

However, what Li Xuan didn't expect was that Cheng Zhijie's method was the same as his own. He just pulled the carriage and circled in the forge.

"Your Majesty, this kind of carriage is lighter than the carriage we are riding in!"

After two laps, Cheng Zhijie was overjoyed.

"Sure?"

Li Shimin looked happy, and directly learned Cheng Zhijie's movements, pulling the carriage.

Li Xuan: "..."

"It's so true!"

After a lap, Li Shimin was also overjoyed.

"If this kind of carriage is used to transport rations and pull luggage, wouldn't it be twice as fast as before?"

"Your Majesty is right!"

Cheng Zhijie echoed excitedly: "Besides, if there is not enough horses and horses, the sons and daughters can also pull this kind of carriage!"

"No, this kind of carriage is less labor-intensive than the two-wheeled carriages of the past, and it can also save a lot of poor horses..."
