The old scalper struggled on the ground for a few times, and then died as expected.
Another old ox nuzzled its old friend gently with its head, as if to say goodbye to it.
A tear also flowed from the corner of its eye.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Wu was completely crushed.
For Xiao Wu, this is the first time in his life that he has done something against Xin Jin's wishes.
He had already had a desperate idea and wanted to follow Xin into another big fight.
But the start was unlucky, and a fallen old scalper was enough to break Xiao Wu's fragile heart.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the ox-carts were all single-axle carts.
A bar extends straight out from the middle of the bottom of the car, and a "cross" perpendicular to the bar extends from both sides of the bar. The horses or cattle on both sides are lassoed by this bar.
So when a cow falls, the two carts are destined to be abandoned.
"Gentleman, if the car breaks down, I won't go." Xiao Wu said, "Put the wine in another car and I will drive the cow back."
Xiao Wu looked very frustrated. He knew that this was a threat from Xin Jin.
"What are you talking about? I told you that you are our future wine man, so why would we sell wine without you?"
"But the car is broken down..."
"It's just a dead cow. It doesn't mean that we can't leave." Xin said again: "Du Gan, go and call the others and carry the dead cow aside first."
"Yes, gentleman." Du Gan quickly ran to the front.
After a while, everyone else from Xinyi's motorcade came over.
Seeing the dead cow, everyone felt a pity in their hearts.
Cows are very important production tools and should not be slaughtered at will under normal circumstances.
"Du Jie, you are fast on your feet. Hurry back to Xinyi now and ask our people to come back and carry this dead cow back." Xin said again.
Beef cannot be wasted, not to mention the cowhide which can be put to great use.
It's not okay to leave it on the roadside.
"Xin Lu, you look after the cows here."
"Gentleman, what about us?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Fix the car and keep going!"
"Repair the car? But there are no more two oxen to pull the car."
"Who said a cart must be pulled by two oxen?"
Xin said matter-of-factly.
Everyone was puzzled. Instead of two cows, how could one cow pull the cart?
"Du Gan, I remember that your Du family can do carpentry, right?" Xin asked again.
"I know a little bit, so every time the convoy travels, someone from our Du family will follow us. If the car breaks down, we can deal with it at any time." Du Gan said.
"Very good, now you can modify this car a little as I told you."
"Renovation?"
No one has ever heard of this novel word.
Xin walked to the car again and made careful gestures.
Then he called Du Gan over and began to discuss with Du Gan how to repair the car.
The crossbar from the old scalper's neck has been removed, and he is lying leisurely on the roadside, feeling the autumn sunshine.
The people of Xinyi were busy in full swing under Xinyou's command.
The shaft of the ox cart has been removed and the yoke has been put aside.
Du Gan took a group of men with him and went to the nearby woods to cut down some usable wood.
Xiaowu was worried, but also curious about what Xin You wanted to do.
What Xin had to do was very simple, of course, to transform a single-column vehicle into a double-column vehicle.
In this way, an old cow can pull a cart.
Du Gan quickly found the materials, and according to Xin You, added a pole on both sides of the bullock cart.
In this way, the car that was originally a single shaft became a double shaft.
The old ox stood in the center and put on the ox martingale, so he could naturally pull the cart.
The old scalper, who had fallen asleep, was reluctantly pulled to the front of the car.
"Give it a try."
Xin said again.
Xiaowu sat in the car and waved his whip.
The old cow walked slowly, and the car swayed forward.
"Okay!"
Xiao Wu looked at Xin You excitedly.
The crowd also gathered around this novel ox cart and were full of praise.
"The gentleman is really smart."
"No one except a gentleman can think of such a solution."
…
This group of young people in Xinyi now regarded Xinyou as their idol.
In less than ten days, Xin You has already created too many miracles.
After returning to Xinyi, the transformation of the oxcart naturally became the most novel thing along the way, and I told my relatives and friends about it.
The brand new double-coil ox cart is on the road.
Xiao Wu was surprised to find that this ox cart was much easier to drive than the previous single-couple ox cart.
"Gentleman...it's so magical."
Xiao Wu, who had always looked down on Xin You, had to lament that what Xin You did was something he couldn't even imagine.
He drove the new car carefully. After all, it was a temporary piece made by Du Gan, so there could be no accidents.
The convoy drove forward in Huantu for a whole day, and finally saw Puyi on the second day.
Puyi is located downstream of Xinyi and is the city most closely connected with Xinyi.
Like Xinyi, they are also public towns distributed among Liusui.
As we approached Puyi, there were gradually more and more pedestrians on the road.
Some people looked at Xiaowu's double-column ox cart with curiosity, as this was something they had never seen before.
After entering Puyi, Xin You and his party did not go directly to the city.
Xin was invited by Fan Ni, so naturally he had to arrange for Fan Ni first.
"Xin people!"
Who would have thought that as soon as he walked into Puyi, Xin You would see Fan Ni.
"Gentleman Fan."
Xin got off the bullock cart again and quickly saluted.
"The gentleman has not been notified yet."
In Xin You's mind, he was still thinking about the complicated etiquette when nobles visited.
"There's no need for this between us." Fan Ni smiled and said, "Your nerdy temper still hasn't changed."
Xin You smiled bitterly. He followed etiquette and just didn't want to cause any extra trouble.
"By the way, let me show you something."
Xin took out the silk book on the pigeon's leg again.
"Really received it?!" Fan Ni's little eyes widened.
Just in case, he not only released pigeons, but also sent a messenger to inform him.
Seeing that Xin You came today, I thought that Xin You came after receiving the message from the messenger.
"Is this possible?"
"It's doable! It's so doable!"
Fan Ni said excitedly: "Last time, after we drove away those Yiluo warriors, they went directly to Quanbi in the west and robbed the food there..."
It is an administrative unit where savages live together.
Five families are one neighbor, five neighbors are one li, four li are one li, five li are one dynasty, five li are one county, five counties are one county, and each has a certain area. Digging ditches and planting trees are the boundaries.
Everyone in the country has their own chief executive.
"This Yiluozhirong is really a thorn in our side in the Qinghe River Basin!"
Xin frowned again.
"Hey... That Quanbi discovered the movements of the Rong people early in the morning, so he lit a beacon to ask for help.
"Unexpectedly, this angered the Rong people and directly attacked Quanbi without giving Quanbi any time."
…
What happened to Inuyi made all nearby cities panic.
The Rong people marched too fast, and there were so many people. Once they surrounded a certain city, they could only choose to go to war or hand over food.
"If homing pigeons can be raised on a large scale, the various outposts we establish can use pigeons to secretly send messages, and we no longer need to alert the Rong people."
Su Ni said.
This is what Xin You had planned in his heart.
To prevent the Yiluo army, it is far from enough to rely on Xinyi and Puyi. This chapter has been completed!
