Chapter 495 Dangerous
Strange carriage?
Don't the carriages all look the same, what's so strange about it?

When Xu Zixuan saw the carriage outside, he was slightly taken aback, and turned his head to look at Dou Sha.

"This carriage is really strange." Xu Zixuan couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and said seriously to Dou Sha beside him.

Xu Zixuan walked to the front of the carriage and took a careful look at the wheels of the carriage. The wheels seemed to have been polished, they were very smooth, and they were very comfortable to the touch. They seemed to be coated with something else.

I just thought that thing looked very familiar, and suddenly Xu Zixuan remembered it, as if the toilet they used was coated with something like this inside.

The carriage was twice as big as the previous carriage, and it was rectangular, so three or four people would not feel cramped if they lay side by side in it.

It was the first time Xu Zixuan saw a four-wheeled carriage. He smiled and turned his head to look at Dou Sha behind him, his eyes sparkling, "Come up and have a look."

"En." Dou Sha hurriedly ran to Xu Zixuan.

The carriage was only mounted on a tree trunk beside it, and the horse was not tied.

After the two people climbed up, they found that the space inside was very large. The wooden boards on both sides can be adjusted, and they can be put on directly. Don’t worry that the inside is not big. The floor is covered with good wool carpets, and there is a small groove around it, which should be Used for lighting.

There is a small table inside, the table is very large, it can be fixed under it, and it can be put away directly.

"Mother probably did it." The smile on Dousha's face became even brighter, and she turned her head to look at Xu Zixuan, "Mother is the best at making these things."

"En." Xu Zixuan looked at the curtain guarding the side, knowing that he could hide behind the curtain when changing clothes, and said in confusion, "There is so much space inside, but there seems to be no place to put things."

Hearing what Xu Zixuan said, Dou Sha also looked worried. They really needed a place to put things.

"Zixuan, Dou Sha?" Lin Guyu heard the voice of the two of them talking in the carriage, hurriedly walked to the side of the carriage, approached the door, and saw the two people sitting in the carriage.

"mother."

"Auntie."

Dou Sha came out of the carriage, quickly climbed out of the carriage, and let Lin Guyu help him jump out of the carriage.

Xu Zixuan got out of the carriage immediately after.

"Mother, where do we put our things?" Dou Sha said with a headache, "Although the carriage is very big, it doesn't look like there are many places to put things."

Seeing Master Dousha's appearance, Lin Guyu couldn't help but smile, "The two of you can only carry one suitcase the size of a bench, and put all the suitcases behind the carriage."

As Lin Guyu said, he led the two of them to the back of the carriage.

When he just came out, Xu Zixuan had been observing the front of the carriage, completely ignoring the wooden board behind the carriage, there was an extra board behind, presumably it was a place to put the boxes.

"Don't put too many things," Lin Guyu said, "If it rains, it may get wet."

The carriage was re-improved by Lin Guyu. In order to make the carriage run faster, a device for manually fixing the wheels was installed on the side. In this way, if something happens, the carriage can be separated from the horse directly, and the carriage can be controlled by them to stop. There will be no danger.

The space of the carriage was made larger, just thinking that people would be more comfortable sitting in it, and would not feel forced to feel uncomfortable, after all, the journey is far away.

Four or two carriages were prepared, all of the same size. The first was made by Chi Hang and Lin Guyu, the second was made by the three children and the maid who took care of them, and the third was made by Dou Sha and Xu Zixuan. One person sits in it, and the fourth one is for some maids and servants.

Some young men were sitting on the wooden boards of the carriage outside.

Xu Feng originally disapproved of Lin Guyu taking a few children to play in the south. After all, there may be various dangers along the way, but when Lin Guyu even designed the carriage and found eight people to accompany him all the way, all the hidden dangers Wei followed in the dark and dispatched together.

When a group of them left in a carriage, the people around were amazed when they saw their carriage. Without their knowledge, the Chi family's carriage became a popular item in the entire capital circle.

If it was the original carriage, it would definitely take a month to reach the water city in the south, but Lin Guyu specially reduced the friction on the wheels of the carriage. He was worried that the wheels would not be enough, so he prepared a lot of spare tires and used half of them. The time has come.

They rested in an inn outside Shuicheng, thinking about entering the city tomorrow.

Because there are various kinds of water running through the city, there are not many places where you can walk, so it is called Shuicheng.

Chi Hang and Lin Guyu took a few children to wander around the water city, eating and drinking, but they didn't know that the capital city was already in chaos.

Because the governor of Jingzhou captured the eldest prince of the Xiongnu, the two sides have been negotiating over this matter. The Xiongnu relied on so many soldiers on the border to suppress the border from the north and forced the court to release him.

Prince Rong Jin sat in the room, looked at those kneeling below with a serious expression, and said coldly, "What do you guys think?"

The three people standing below looked at each other wisely and did not speak.

The eldest prince of the Xiongnu was detained by them, but the people from the Xiongnu side were unwilling to send things to the capital. The only thing they could promise was to live in peace with the imperial court within ten years.

Rong Jin didn't want to let him go so easily, they finally captured the eldest prince directly, no matter what, the Xiongnu had to spit out some blood, and taught him a lesson.

The Xiongnu proposed such an unequal treaty, but it was bullying the poor court, unable to supply food and grass to the soldiers on the border. It is estimated that the eldest prince left the capital, and the Xiongnu attacked in behind.

It's just that the emperor thought that there was a shortage of food in the north. There was a severe drought this year, and the harvest below was not very good. Many people were not ready to hand in food.

The rich families are clutching their grain one by one, even if they put a knife on their necks/necks, those people will never hand over the grain.

Headache.

Some time ago, the imperial court allocated food to the northern barracks, barely enough to eat for a while, and I don’t know how the people in the barracks ate during this time.

Rong Jin also sent all the food from the shops below, but he couldn't stand the crowd in the barracks.

If there is a war, I don't know how long the barracks can resist.

The Xiongnu didn't intend to let the court go because they knew they didn't have that much money.

Although Rong Jin is an expensive prince, he doesn't have much money in his hands.

There are many things that are bestowed by the emperor, they can only be kept, but they cannot be sold. To maintain the operation of the entire Prince's Mansion, to manage the whole palace, there is even less money that can be taken out.

A servant came in from the outside, glanced at those people on the ground, knelt down in front of Rong Jin, "Report to the prince, report from the north!"

"Present it!" Rong Jin raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the boy's face.

Rong Jin vaguely knew what the people in the barracks wrote, it was nothing more than food.

This food is really big/troublesome.

When Rong Jin opened the envelope and looked at the contents inside, his face was full of joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He knew that the Chi family would definitely give him a big surprise.

"Snapped!"

Slapping the letter in his hand heavily on the table beside him, Rong Jin coldly glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, the more he looked at those people, the more he disliked them.

Feeling the coercion of His Highness the Crown Prince, the bodies of the three kneeling people couldn't help shaking, their heads lowered even more. If there were cracks in the ground, maybe a few people got in directly.

These officials, one by one, withheld money from the common people and hid all the money themselves. Now he wants them to spit out all the money.

"It's getting late." Rong Jin stood up, walked in front of those people, and said coldly, "I'll treat you to dinner today!"

Please eat?
The three people kneeling on the ground glanced at each other, still not understanding why His Royal Highness, who was so angry just now, is in the mood to invite you to dinner now?
It's just that how dare the few of them ask His Royal Highness to invite them to dinner, one by one followed Rong Jin and walked outside, and then asked the servant behind him to go home directly to get the money.

When it came to the Chi's hotpot restaurant, Rong Jin went in first.

It is estimated that these officials often come here to spend money on weekdays, but Rong Jin thinks that they will all come here to eat in the future, and all the money they earn will be given to the Chi family. It is estimated that Chi Hang will also donate part of it to the military camp. These corrupt officials scraped some oil and water out of their hands, which saved them a lot of fat.

The military camp is so poor, the court needs someone with a big heart/broadness and patriotism like Chi Hang.

I don't know how they did it. The food was hundreds of thousands of catties, and it was all transported to the barracks one after another.

It is the food that those people in the military camp are holding now, which can guarantee them three months.

Now is a very tense period, and it is not easy to last a month. As long as they persist for three months, they may be able to kill the Xiongnu directly.

Thinking of this, Rong Jin's mood couldn't help soaring.

It was said that it was a dinner treat, but the people below paid for it. Rong Jin smiled the whole time, and went straight to the palace after the meal.

It's not just Rong Jin who treats guests to dinner, as long as people from the Tian family treat guests to dinner, the first choice is Chi Hang's shop. During this time, shopkeeper Deng looked at the account on the ledger, his eyeballs almost fell out of shock.

The emperor was very happy when he heard what Chi Hang had done, and he wanted to reward Chi Hang for whatever he said.

But Rong Jin stopped him, saying that he was waiting for the Xiongnu's affairs to be over, and then he was rewarding the Chi family.

This eldest prince is really important to the Xiongnu Khan, and it took more than a month, but there is still no way to get the court to agree to their request.

Later, Khan accidentally inquired about it. Hearing that the army still had several months of food reserves, they planned to run out of food until the army ran out of food, but they didn't expect a mysterious person to deliver food to the army.
