The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 847
[Chapter 847 New Wheels]
Not to mention these villagers, even the expressions of the two heads of the Ministry of Industry became a little strange.
Half a month?
I really dare to say it!
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, as expected.
Apart from anything else, even with ready-made materials and ready-made craftsmen, it would take at least a month to build this bridge.
What’s more, the stones for building the bridge still need to be polished, but they cannot be found in a short time.
“What’s wrong?”
Liang Jun saw that the expressions of several villagers became a little strange and couldn’t help but ask.
The villagers hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, and said, “Sir, in the past, it would have taken at least half a month to build this bridge.”
At this point, they seemed to know that what they said was somewhat ambiguous.
So, he hurriedly added: “Of course, it’s not that the young people doubt or don’t trust adults, it’s that this bridge is really not easy to repair.”
Seeing that Liang Jun was so young, several villagers all doubted his strength.
Liang Jun was not a fool. Seeing this scene and hearing what they said, he instantly understood what these people were thinking.
So, he said: “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. I’m afraid it will take two days to prepare these materials and transport them from Kyoto Prefecture. During these two days, I will stay here and take a good look at this reed.” What’s going on with the river?
If you have any suggestions on how to build this bridge,
you can give me some money as a reward.” When
several passing villagers heard this, they spoke to each other subconsciously. After glancing at each other, one could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Make suggestions and get money?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Several people were at a loss.
When the two principals heard this, they were a little disdainful.
In this case, it is just a lie to these villagers.
In any case, they did not believe that the bridge could be built within half a month.
What’s more, the materials needed to build the bridge are nothing more than stones, or else lime mortar.
These things are not available anywhere and they still need to be transported from Kyoto Prefecture?
Ah!
It’s really ridiculous!
They thought so in their hearts, but the expressions on their faces didn’t change at all, and they didn’t even say anything.
Because they wanted to see Liang Jun’s expression after he failed.
In other words, the two of them were standing around, waiting to see the joke!
Liang Jun seemed not to notice.
In fact, he did not go to see the two directors of the Ministry of Industry at all, but walked along the Wei River.
From time to time, I would pick up a charcoal pencil and write and draw on the paper, not knowing what I was writing or drawing.
The two principals were following behind him, and they felt a little confused when they saw this scene.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that the Engineering Academy and the people who built it are a group of craftsmen who know nothing and can’t do anything well.
These inexplicable behaviors are also due to this.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was two days later.
The carriage from Kyoto Prefecture has stopped at the Wei River.
There were all kinds of materials on them, packed in linen bags, and it was hard to see what they were.
However, it doesn’t look like stone at all, let alone lime mortar.
After all, these small carriages cannot hold those things.
But
it stands to reason that if you want to transport goods from Kyoto Prefecture to Weihe, it will take at least two and a half days.
Even if Liang Jun wrote a letter to Kyoto Prefecture as soon as he arrived at Weihe, it would still take at least three days to write the letter, receive the letter, prepare the materials, and load the carriage into the carriage.
Why did these people arrive in two days?
No matter what, these two heads of the Ministry of Works were from the Ministry of Works, so they noticed this problem immediately.
They subconsciously looked at the carriage, only to find that the wheels of the carriage seemed to be different from before, made of a brand new material.
But they didn’t even know what the material was.
To be precise, they had never seen these materials before!
It looks very strange.
Could it be that this new type of wheel made the carriage go much faster than before?
The two heads of the Ministry of Industry looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
Apparently, they reached a consensus on this issue.
This wheel is absolutely extraordinary!
I just don’t know where this material came from.
How did the people in Xin’an Houfu know that this material could be used as wheels to greatly increase the speed of the carriage.
For a time, the two heads of the Ministry of Industry focused their attention on this wheel.
the reason is simple.
That bridge, they don’t care.
The reason why they don’t care is also very simple, because they know that the bridge cannot be repaired no matter what!
Not to mention these materials, even if the materials from the Heavenly Palace are brought here, they will be of no use if there is a flood.
What’s worse, Liang Jun also said that the bridge would be repaired in half a month.
It takes half a month to complete, let alone whether it can be completed. Even if it is completed, it will be barely completed and the quality cannot be guaranteed!
Now that someone from Xin’an Houfu has taken charge of the Ministry of Industry, this has become a foregone conclusion and there is no way to change it.
Then, it is not a bad thing to make a fuss about one thing and belittle the people of Xin’anhou.
The two heads of the Ministry of Industry thought so.
With this in mind, they all came forward, squatted down, and carefully observed the wheels of the carriage.
The driver of the carriage was about to get out of the carriage and said hello to Liang Jun.
When they got off the carriage, they saw two people in rich clothes squatting on the ground, staring at the wheels of their carriage, looking at them carefully, their expressions were still very solemn.
He was startled at first, then confused.
Where did these two people come from?
The clothes look quite luxurious.
how?
Never even seen a carriage?
Want to stare like this?
The two principals looked at the wheels of the carriage.
The coachman looked at the two principals.
Looking, looking, as if thinking of something, sympathy can’t help but show in his eyes.
Maybe these two people suffered some kind of blow and became stupid?
Thinking like this, the coachman couldn’t help but shook his head, ignored them both, and walked straight towards Liang Jun.
A smile appeared on his face and he said: “Mr. Liang, our Baolefang has prepared all the materials you need, and they are all on these three carriages.”
When Liang Jun saw the coachman, he handed over his hand first. Yili, after hearing this, smiled and said, “That’s very good.”
After a pause, he said, “Although it’s not too far from Kyoto Prefecture to the Wei River, it’s not too close either. It’s a tiring journey with horses and horses. Come on, do you want to find a place for the masters to rest?”
When the coachman heard this, he didn’t know what he thought of, and said in an elevated tone: “No, no, since the new wheel came out, the journey is not as tiring as before. Okay, brothers have rested on the road.”
