Thanks to the book friends who still have the spear for the reward! By the way, let me state first, the positioning of this book from the beginning is a cool article, without abuse

On the other side, after watching Zhao Wuxi's car drive away, Fan Jia glanced at Su Shili, which was full of people, with gloomy eyes. He was probably the first Qingzi to notice that wheat flour was being sold in the city, and he had already sent someone to observe and find out the price, transportation and other matters.

Because, he understands that this is a business that is more than ten times more profitable. It was only after I asked my own millet merchant that I learned that this kind of wheat flour as fine as clay could never be made if it was pounded by the servants and concubines. Then Zhao Wuyi must have used some new craftsmanship. More than a dozen potters of the state of Lu that were bought are related!

So, after Fan Jia returned to the craftsman's workshop in the lacquer pottery city, he invited the city officials who belonged to the Fan family to come over and instructed: "I see that the people who belonged to the Zhao family's goods seem to be mixed together. Bribery, we must find out how this wheat flour is made..."

In a small township of a hundred households, even if all the harvested wheat is made into flour, it will only have ten thousand stones in exchange for hundreds of thousands of stone grains.

But if all the fiefdoms of the Zhao clan start to sell this kind of goods, and the other five ministers still can't figure out how to get them, then the problem will be serious.

While most of the new Jiang Shi-doctors only pay attention to how cooks can use wheat flour to make delicious food, Fan Jia can see through the hidden goods behind this strange thing at a glance.

If Liu Qing started a war, he would definitely need hundreds of chariots, hundreds of leather chariots, and tens of thousands of armors. The battlefield from Hexi to Chaoge, from Jinyang to Luhun, feeds thousands of miles.

At that time, the internal and external expenses of the front and rear, the rewards to retainers and advisors, the cost of materials such as glue and paint used for weapon maintenance, the maintenance of chariots and armors, etc., the daily consumption, the daily cost is hundreds of gold!

The ancient art of war said, eat one stone from the enemy, be twenty stone for me! This is exactly what Zhao Wuxi is doing now. He exchanged a small amount of wheat flour for a large amount of corn, cattle and horses from the scholar-bureaucrat of Jin. When he has accumulated a lot, Suzhi has been used for ten years, and the horse can be equipped with a thousand chariots, it will become extremely difficult for Fan to defeat Zhao quickly!

So Fan Jia ordered again: "Furthermore, send some people to wait near the lower palace. Every day of the city, there will be people from Chengxiang who come out and buy it with money and silk. If not, then tie one back! Fan! , Zhao has been hostile for a long time, and I can't let Zhao Wuxi sit on the ground to make money!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, on the way back to Chengxiang, Wang and Sunqi were still the imperial army, and Zhao Wuxi was standing on the railing of the carriage.

Xiaotong Ao has been treated like a scholar since his sister Wei presented a sword and revealed his identity. But his eyes were always restless. From time to time, he looked at the well where An Bu was walking by the side of the car, and then turned to look at Zhao Wuxi, before he stopped talking...

"The chariot has two wheels and a single yoke. The chariot is surrounded by people. There are four horses in the front. The horses driving the yoke are called service horses, and the horses on both sides are called horses. Yurong should control the horses with eight bridles. Holding the bridle like a group, the two coffins are like dancing; the two clothes are headed together, and the two coffins are like hands."

Although he had already been taught by Wang Sunqi, Zhao Wuxi still listened carefully.

The chariots of the Spring and Autumn Period in China used the chest-type driving method, which was much more advanced than the neck-type driving methods of Egypt and Greece of the same period. This is probably because most of the pre-Qin chariots were heavy and could even be used to charge into battle, rather than the light vehicles of Egypt and Hittite, which could only be used as archery platforms.

But maybe it really is because he specializes in art. Zhao Wuxi is proficient in archery and has a good command of swordsmanship, but no matter how he learns, he can't do well.

There are also a few chariots and wheelers in Chengxiang. After Zhao Wuxi gave Ji Qiao science popularization of junior high school mechanics, he made certain modifications to a newly made chariot. For example, there is a reinforcement rod on the yoke, which strengthens the axle and shortens the long hub that is easily caught by obstacles.

Afterwards, he used this new type of carriage to compete with Wang Sunqi, but he changed horses three times and was thrown far away three times.

Zhao Wuyi thought it was strange at the time. In terms of performance and speed, the new car should be better. Why did he lose?

He asked: "Wangsun taught Yu Yu, and his skills have not been fully granted to me?"

Wang Sunqi replied: "The skills of the subordinate ministers have all been taught to the gentleman, but once the gentleman controls it himself, it is often useless. As a master, the most important thing is that the body of the horse is unified with the vehicle, and the human body is unified. The heart of the horse and the temperament of the horse are in harmony, so that the man, the horse and the carriage can be one, and run fast and run far.”

"Now, once the gentleman is left behind by his subordinates, he desperately wants to catch up with me. If he is in front of me, he is afraid of being caught up by me. When you are ahead or behind, all you think of is me, how can you coordinate with the horse? The reason for this gentleman is later."

Zhao Wuxi suddenly realized that, indeed, he paid too much attention to winning and losing. If he did not concentrate on anything, it would only backfire. But he was also helpless. His mentality of being anxious and worrying about gains and losses was probably because he knew the direction of history.

The competition between the six emperors is like the six horses fighting for the road. The Zhao family is also in a backward state. The result of failure in this competition is likely to lose all the lords, lose the power status, lose the sister Ji Ying...

That's why Zhao Wuxi desperately tried to find a way to increase the strength of the Zhao clan. These farming methods and industries he arranged in Chengxiang must be dedicated to Zhao Yang after the winter solstice and fully promoted in the Zhao clan's territory. He also tried to increase Zhao's influence in the palace by ingratiating himself to the Marquis of Jin and entered the Xiqi Palace.

But now it seems that it is more important to concentrate on managing the first site at hand.

Zhao Wuxi is not a full-time charioteer~www.readwn.com~, so it is enough to be able to drive in an emergency without spending too much time in it. On the contrary, it was the little boy Ao, who seemed to be quite gifted for this, so Zhao Wuqi asked Wang Sunqi to turn his attention to Ao, and strive to cultivate a good royal.

Jing is taciturn and silent all the way, which is a common occurrence. However, Zhao Wuxi found that in the past, Tong Ao, who was out of character and kept talking all the time, was actually a little silent. When Wang Sunqi was teaching, he only answered with Weiwei, which is a strange thing.

"Could it be that the two of you have been together for a day, and you were led into a stuffy melon by the well?"

While resting in the cottage, Zhao Wuxi pointed at the children Ao and Jing to make fun of him.

Jing had been thinking all the way that the messenger of Junzi Shuqi would come to Chengxiang tomorrow night, threatening his sister's life with his inner and outer cooperation, so he was always a little uneasy. Especially in front of Zhao Wuxi, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a seam to crawl in.

So he pleaded guilty and left, saying that he was going to the back to stop the team, and beckoned the soldiers to sit down and drink water to rest.

Zhao Wuxi didn't care either. What he was most satisfied with about Jing was that he was diligent in his work, kept a low profile, and loved his soldiers like a son. If he wants to promote another **** chief in the future, Jing is the best candidate, but unfortunately, his background is a bit low.

From yesterday to today, because Jing was always by his side, Xiao Tong Ao didn't find a chance to talk to Zhao Wuxi alone. He was always on the verge of speaking, and was too anxious.

Seeing Jing leaving at this time, he found an opportunity to come over and said that he had something important to report.
