But after he knew that this was the method passed down from Xin's ancestors, he didn't think about learning it again.
I just sigh that the Xin family’s family tradition will definitely be revived again in the future.
"Sir, are you in charge of building the city this time?"
When he was free, Xin asked again.
If Yuan Shouguo was the host, he would like Xinyi to join in.
Being able to build a city wall for the emperor was a supreme honor for Xinyi.
If you do well, the emperor will definitely reward you.
Yuan Shouguo naturally understood what Xin You meant, but he shook his head: "It's a pity that building the city wall this time is a major event, and it's not my turn to preside over it."
"Is it Dr. Chang Hong?" Xin asked again.
"Probably not." Yuan Shou said.
"That can only be someone from Jin..." Xin understood.
If the Jin people were in charge of the construction, then the Jin people would naturally have the final say on which families should be used.
Yuan Shouguo was just doing some preliminary preparation work.
The great princes, ministers and officials do not need rewards from the emperor, so they can naturally hide and hide.
But a petty official like Xin You wanted to follow this big event to improve his reputation.
At that time, Xinyi, in the name of the emperor's public city, will participate in the sacrifice with the princes and cast Xinyi's name on the tripod.
Isn’t it beautiful?
Now that Xinyi’s name is out there, are you still worried that the wine won’t sell well?
If such a grand event can be noticed by big shots, it will be even more prosperous.
Even if it goes unnoticed, it is still remarkable to witness a major historical event.
This is the power of the platform!
And the most important thing is that if you can build a city for the emperor and get a reward from the emperor, you may be exempted from paying tribute for one or three years!
The harvest in Xinyi has been mediocre in recent years, and there is no food in the public sector. We need this opportunity to let Xinyi rest and recuperate for a few years.
This was the most affordable thing, so Xin You wanted the people of Xinyi to help build the city.
"Doctor Xinyi, don't be discouraged. You have such talents, there must be somewhere to put them to use." Yuan Shou said: "Even if Xinyi cannot build a city for the emperor in the name of a public city, I can still rely on your planning ability."
Take it with you."
"real?!"
Xin Youdaxi, wouldn't this be better?
Yuan Shou Guo was a great Sikong.
Even if he does not preside over the construction of the city wall, he will still be the core member of the project department for the project of building the city wall.
If you follow him, you can meet the real big shots.
In addition to wanting to give himself a chance, Xin You wanted to see what kind of style these figures who influenced the times would have.
You might even meet a few characters who appear in textbooks.
Yuan Shou said: "By the way, can I take a closer look at that double-coupled ox cart?"
"We in Xinyi don't have good craftsmen, so this cart is modified from the original one and is very crude." Xin added, "I would like to dedicate the method of making an ox cart to your lord."
"To...me?"
Yuan Shouguo showed a trace of doubt on his face, then suddenly realized and laughed.
"Then...thank you Doctor Xinyi."
In fact, the structure of the double-coupled ox cart is simple, and it can be modified from the original ox cart. Sikong Yuan Shouguo, who manages the various workers, can naturally understand it at a glance.
If he went back and secretly manufactured this kind of bullock cart, Xin would have been helpless in the Spring and Autumn Period when there was no patent law.
But now Xin spoke again and dedicated the method of making ox carts to Yuan Shouguo, so this was an active gift to the emperor.
As the bullock cart was promoted, Xin was bound to receive corresponding rewards.
This is the reason why Xin You "offered a car".
Only in this way can the benefits of bullock carts be maximized after they are promoted.
Of course, the premise of all this is based on Xin You's trust in Yuan Shouguo - this is inseparable from the fact that his father Xin Wubing admired Yuan Shouguo's character back then.
After Xin finished speaking, he took out a scroll of bamboo slips in a serious manner, on which was written the method of making a double-column ox cart.
Yuan Shou took the bamboo slip and said: "Don't worry, gentleman, I will definitely tell the emperor that this ox cart is a gift from Xinyi. It is just for this reason that Xinyi can participate in the construction of the city, and it can be considered as a contribution to the emperor."
Heartbroken."
"If so, then I have to thank Lord Sikong."
Xin smiled again.
Unexpectedly, the ox cart that was improved out of desperation could be used for such a purpose.
Thinking about it, a double-column ox cart has many advantages over a single-column ox cart.
Even if you save the power of cattle, you don’t know how much food and grass will be saved.
What's more, this kind of ox cart is more convenient to drive.
Yuan Shouguo was proficient in all kinds of craftsmanship. With just a few modifications, he could transform this double-column ox cart into something practical and strong.
This can be used as a tribute gift to the emperor or various princes.
"Sir, we in Xinyi have specially prepared a feast for you tonight..."
"No need." Yuan Shouguo waved his hand: "I came to Xinyi just to pass by, not for official business. Besides, I don't want people to know that I came to Xinyi. It would be too troublesome."
Yuan Shouguo simply rejected Xin You.
Xin You no longer forced himself.
Such "big leaders" are actually very annoyed by these drinking etiquette.
If Xinyi entertains Yuan Shouguo, the news will inevitably spread to other cities. By then, all these people will find Yuan Shouguo, and Yuan Shouguo will be unable to do anything.
Therefore, every time he passed a place along the way, Yuan Shouguo only informed the local leader and left quickly after calculating the supplies.
This is why he only brought one person and one car out.
Compared with the nobles of this era who often traveled with hundreds or thousands of people, Yuan Shouguo was much more pragmatic.
It's also much simpler.
This was something Xin did not expect.
"I will leave Xinyi when the road is open." Yuan Shou said: "Today I will renovate this ox cart. If this ox cart is strong and durable, I will definitely dedicate it to the emperor."
"Then I won't disturb Lord Sikong."
Xin stepped back knowingly.
He still has some urgent matters to deal with.
Due to heavy rain for days and the help of Yuan Shouguo to handle the accounts, the rural school in Xinyi has not held classes for three days.
Today, Xin told Du Gan again that classes would continue and that there was something important to announce, requiring all Chinese people to come to the township school to attend.
By the way, he met the heads of several small families in Xinyi and discussed some matters with them.
Just after late afternoon, the Chinese people gathered at the rural school.
The news that the Yi doctor was making a fortune selling wine had already spread.
All the money earned from selling wine belongs to the Xinyi public family, that is, to everyone in Xinyi.
It has been many years, and Xinyi has never received so much money at once.
Naturally, the Chinese people were in high spirits and came to the township school one after another.
Xin You was already waiting at the rural school.
After all, this is the big show he arranged today.
Have to be more positive. This chapter has been completed!
