Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 197

After Lu Bu told everyone about the idea of ​​the sled, although most people praised Lu Bu's idea on the surface, they were a little dubious in their hearts, apparently not believing in this thing made of a few pieces of wood.

He even uses a dog to pull the cart, and with this thing, can he walk in the snow?
But Guo Jia and other evildoers' eyes lit up after hearing this. From Lu Bu's few words, they had probably figured out the principle of the sleigh.

Although there is no such subject as physics in this era, Guo Jia and others have roughly conceived the basic principles of the sled with their minds beyond the times.

Immediately, Lv Bu showed his vigor and resolute demeanor, and directly ordered people to call all the craftsmen in the city to assist the public in transporting the seal.

Lu Bu also took out the wood stored in the treasury, and ordered Gong Shuyin to lead the craftsmen to build the sled overnight.

At the same time, Lu Bu ordered Dianwei to lead the whole city to "hunt" wild dogs, and Ji County fell into a situation where chickens fly and dogs jump, no, to be precise, chickens don't fly, dogs jump.

But the law and order in Ji County is obviously good. Dian Wei struggled in the blizzard for more than an hour, but only caught more than [-] wild dogs...

Later, there was nothing to do, so Lu Bu had to order people to buy dogs from the homes of the people in Ji County.

At first, the common people were unwilling to sell their dogs. Although the price Lu Bu offered was not low, after all, they had been raised for several years.
But when these soldiers told the people why they bought the dogs, the people directly handed over the dogs at home to the soldiers, and most of the people chose not to take any money.

Lu Bu had anticipated this, and had informed the soldiers who were going to buy the dogs how to deal with it.

Ever since, these soldiers picked up the dogs, put down the money, and left the homes of the people without looking back.

After a sled was produced, Lu Bu chose the thick-skinned Xu Chu to ride on the sled for an experiment based on the principle of safety first.

Outside the gate of Ji County, Lu Bu and a group of civil and military personnel stood in the biting cold wind and watched Xu Chu sitting on the sled.

Snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is howling, and the world is vast.

Xu Chu's huge body was sitting on the sled, which had been pushed into the snow by him.

Choosing Xu Chu to take the sleigh, Lu Bu naturally had his own plans.

Because the sled was used to transport relief supplies, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhou Tai were the most important of Lu Bu's subordinates.

Among the three of them, Xu Chu was the heaviest, so Xu Chu was chosen by Lu Bu to be the first person to ride a sled in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

There were seven dogs on leashes in front of Xu Chu, because Lu Bu was afraid that Xu Chu would not be able to pull Xu Chu if there were fewer dogs...

Xu Chu is also a rough guy. Generally speaking, people are a little afraid of unknown things, but this old man didn't have the slightest fear. Instead, he looked at the sled curiously, and even reached out to pet the dog pulling the cart...

Lu Bu ordered: "Zhongkang, sit still!"

Xu Chu sat up straight and replied, "No!"

Seeing this, Lu Bu waved his hand to signal the soldiers to let the dogs go.

The soldier on the side once again ordered "General Xu, sit still", and then he raised his whip, and the dog pulling the cart ran forward desperately in pain.

The sled flew out like an arrow from the string. Even the huge Xu Chu sitting on the sled did not affect the speed of the sled.

"It's done!" Lu Bu secretly clenched his fists, filled with joy.

"My lord is a great talent, and my subordinates/generals are very impressed!" All the civil and military soldiers clasped their hands together.

Afterwards, Lu Bu and the others stood in the howling wind and waited for Xu Chu to come back, but they did not see Xu Chu after waiting for a long time.

Lu Bu was also a little worried, could something have happened?
Dian Wei scratched his head, and said to Zhou Tai beside him, "Youping, where do you think Zhongkang went?"

Zhou Tai also scratched his head, maybe scratching his head is a common problem among athletes over [-] jins.

Zhou Tai scratched his head and said, "Maybe Zhongkang ran a little far, and want to try the speed of this sled?"

Dian Wei nodded after hearing this: "I guess so, this Zhongkang, let us suffer from the cold, let the lord suffer from the cold here, I have to teach him a lesson when he comes back!"

Zhou Tai nodded vigorously and said, "Count me in! Then I will hug Zhongkang, and you beat him to death!"

At this moment, Guo Jia whispered to Lu Bu with a little embarrassment: "My lord, we seem to have overlooked one thing."

Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Guo Jia shrank his neck and said, "My lord, we seem to have forgotten to tell General Xu how to stop the sleigh!"

Lu Bu: "..."

Under the support of the soldiers, a deadly "snowman" returned to Jixian County. This "snowman" carried a badly damaged sled on his shoulders and four dogs behind him...

……

After this experiment, the safety and functionality of the sled were fully guaranteed, and Lu Bu ordered mass production.

The sled developed by Lu Bu is good for everything, but it is a bit useless...

Fortunately, Xu Chusheng is strong, if it were another person, he would freeze to death in the wilderness!

According to Xu Chu's later statement, that night, no matter how hard he pulled, he could not stop the seven dogs from advancing. In desperation, Xu Chu had no choice but to jump off the sled and use brute force to stop the running dogs.

But it doesn't matter if the sled falls apart, two of the seven dogs were directly strangled to death, and one of Xu Chu froze to death on the way back to Ji County on foot, so only four of the seven dogs remained...

Under the leadership of Gong Shuyin, the craftsmen of Ji County were not inefficient. After one night, they had already produced more than 100 sleds.

There is not much technical content in the sledge. If these carpenters who can carve and paint on wood make the sledge, wouldn't Zhang Fei eat bean sprouts!
Looking at Gong Shuyin whose eyes were bloodshot, Lu Bu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, without saying anything.

Gongshuyin smiled at Lu Bubao, and then continued to make the sled.

These sleds are not enough!

Looking at the busy craftsmen, Lu Bu suddenly thought of a person, and this person was Ma Jun from Fufeng.

Ma Jun is one of the most prestigious mechanical inventors in the history of ancient science and technology. If Lu Bu can obtain Ma Jun's effectiveness, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.

There are many inventions and improvements made by Ma Jun, such as improving overturning carts, silk weaving machines, Zhuge Liannu, restoring compass carts, inventing keel waterwheels, wheel-type hair stone machines, etc...

Lu Bu's idea is to send someone to look for Ma Jun after the new year, and it is best to recruit him to serve under his command.

Batch after batch of sleds drove out from Jixian County and rushed to counties and counties in Youzhou with relief supplies.

With the continuous manufacture of sleds, there are no enough dogs in Ji County.

After learning about the situation, Lu Bu had no choice but to send some dogs from the surrounding counties to pull the carts.

The disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner, and this catastrophe caused by nature was resolved invisibly by Lu Bu and his subordinates.

The people in the counties and counties of Youzhou did not suffer too much loss, and the number of people killed or injured in the snow disaster was only a thousand. Compared with Youzhou, which has a population of one million, it is simply a drop in the ocean.

As for the houses and other buildings damaged in the snow disaster, Lu Bu sent soldiers and young men to help the people repair them.

It didn't take long for all the negative effects brought about by the snow disaster to be eliminated, and the land of Youzhou once again restored its previous peace.

Half a month later, it was approaching the end of the new year, and the people who survived the catastrophe happily walked out of their homes and began to buy new year's goods.

Lu Bu sat alone in the State Shepherd's Mansion, tapping his fingers on the table rhythmically.

The summoning in January has not been carried out due to the delay due to the snowstorm. Should it be a summoning or a lottery?

Or save up and wait for the three consecutive draws?
