What's more, the Ming Dynasty is still preparing for the Northern Expedition. If it can transport grain and grass like coal, it will be a great joy.
But as Tang He said, this thing can only be used when coming down from the mountain, and it cannot be used to transport grain and grass.
Lao Zhu glanced at the mine cart with some pity.
Seeing the emperor's change of attitude, Tang He quickly struck while the iron was hot and suggested, "Would the emperor want to go up and see how this thing was made?"
Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, he nodded and agreed, "That's fine."
Tang He was overjoyed and quickly stretched out his hand to signal, "Come, your Majesty, please come this way."
Lao Zhu Yiyan walked in front with his head held high, followed by Tang He and Li Wenzhong who quickly followed.
this?
How could things become like this? Han Du's eyes were straight. He was obviously here to take Tang away with them, so how could he be led up the mountain by them?
There was no other way, Han Du had no choice but to lower his head and follow.
Tang He caught a glimpse of Han Du coming up, glanced at him, and asked with a chuckle: "Why are you following me?"
I?
Yes, why should I follow you?
Han Du rolled his eyes at Tang He speechlessly. If you hadn't tricked Lao Zhu into going up the mountain, would I have been able to follow him?
Fortunately, Lao Zhu heard Tang He's words, turned to look at Han Du and said: "Let's go, after all, it was you who made this thing. Let's go and see it together so that we can talk to me."
"Yes." Han Du bowed his head and agreed.
To be honest, Han Du doesn't want Lao Zhu to go up to the mountain at all. If anything happens~
Then Han Du really didn't know what to do.
But since Lao Zhu wanted to go up on his own, Han Du had no way to dissuade him. He could only follow him up and watch over him carefully.
The group of people came to the place where coal was loaded, and Lao Zhu waved his hand to save everyone from kneeling.
Seeing the craftsmen loading baskets of coal into the mine cart, Lao Zhu asked, "How much can this cart hold?"
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he, Tang He and Li Wenzhong turned their attention to Han Du.
Han Du stepped forward quickly and replied: "Your Majesty, I can carry two thousand catties."
Lao Zhu nodded and watched the craftsman push the unfilled mine cart down the track. He looked at Han Du in surprise: "It's not full yet, but it's two thousand kilograms? Why isn't it full?"
Han Du felt a little relieved when he saw that the craftsman strictly followed his requirements. Hearing Lao Zhu's doubts, he explained: "Yes. Just pretending to be like this is almost two thousand kilograms. The reason why it is not full is that,
If it's full, the minecart will easily run off the track and overturn."
Han Du raised his eyes and glanced at Tang He, "This is why I dare not let Mr. Xin Guo sit in the mine cart. If he rushes out, the car will crash and everyone will be killed."
After hearing Han Du's words, Tang He raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you scaring me? I've already asked them about it, and there is nothing like what you said." He stretched out his hand and pointed at the craftsmen around him.
, "The first time you tried it, you filled a cart full of coal, but it only spilled a little. There was no such thing as a car crash and no one killed as you said."
Seeing Tang He's persistence, Han Du couldn't help but sigh: "Xin Guogong, in this world, don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens. Although nothing happened when I tried it at the beginning, who can guarantee that nothing will happen in the future?"
Will the minecart run off the track? Mr. Xin Guo, why do you need to treat your own safety as a child's play? Can't you just sit on this thing?"
Han Du's attitude was so extreme that he almost begged his grandfather to tell his grandma to beg Tang He not to ride the mine cart again.
Lao Zhu also looked at Tang He, waiting for his explanation.
Seeing this, Tang He had no choice but to sigh and said: "Your Majesty, I'm old and can't ride a strong horse. Even if the strong horse is brought to me, I don't have the strength to ride it, let alone spur the horse."
Galloping and galloping. But I also have something I miss. I miss the scenery when I was young, following the superiors and riding horses in the chaos, killing everyone in and out. That feeling really makes me yearn for it, but it is a pity that now I ride
I thought that I would only be able to recall that feeling in my lifetime. I didn’t expect to find this thing here. I don’t need to expend any effort. Just sit inside and I can feel the feeling of galloping horses again.”
While Tang He was talking, the mine cart containing coal was put down by the craftsman, attracting everyone's attention.
I saw the mine cart moving slowly, getting faster and faster. When it reached its fastest speed, I saw the mine cart passing by a forest in an instant.
This speed made Lao Zhu couldn't help but take a breath. Is this what Han Du said is a galloping horse? This is simply faster than a galloping horse.
No wonder Han Du didn't let Tang and the others ride on this thing. If they rushed out like Han Du said, the car would be destroyed and people would be killed.
When Tang He saw the speed of the mine car rushing down, there was a flush of excitement on his face. After a moment, he came back to his senses, his eyes were red as if with tears, and he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is what I can do for this veteran."
, making the superiors laugh."
After saying that, he wiped his hands left and right, as if wiping away tears, not wanting the emperor to see it.
Lao Zhu was very moved when he saw it. Thinking that Tang He had been fighting for him through life and death since he followed him, he comforted him with kind words: "I have suffered a lot for you these years."
"Old minister, it's not bitter." Tang He said with a smile. "Why am I suffering? The superior God has given me the title of Duke of Xinguo and a hereditary title. It's not too late for me to be grateful. It's really not bitter."
Climbing high and looking into the distance, Tang He raised his eyes slightly and seemed to see the horizon. "I only occasionally dream about it at midnight, and I still miss the days of fighting and iron horses."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu remained apologetic, but Han Du caught a glimpse of a cold light in his eyes.
Han Du didn't dare to look any further, and quickly turned away quietly, fearing that Lao Zhu would discover him.
Tang He smiled and continued to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang: "But when I thought that I was old and could no longer bear the pain of running around in the army, I felt relieved. Even if I can no longer ride a horse, don't I realize it now?
Do you feel that way? Hahaha, why are you suffering? I will have no regrets in this life."
Tang He's rough palms slapped the edge of the mine cart.
Only then did a heartfelt smile appear on Lao Zhu's face. He was also a veteran on the battlefield. Tang He's obsession with fighting and iron horses was actually something he himself had. But Lao Zhu was the emperor after all, and he had to deal with all the affairs of the day. He also had to deal with the civil servants.
In a battle of wits and courage, where is the time to recall the past?
Now being mentioned by Tang He, Lao Zhu couldn't help but want to experience the feeling of galloping on horseback.
Tang He saw that the emperor seemed to be interested in moving, so he asked Lao Zhu at the right time: "Do you want to give it a try?"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded subconsciously.
Han Du saw it from the side, and his face suddenly became green and ugly, because he was angry.
Originally, when Tang and the two of them were riding in the mine cart, Han Du felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, so they all ran to invite Lao Zhu in order to stop them.
It's good now. Not only did Lao Zhu fail to persuade the two of them, but looking at the situation now, he even got himself into trouble.
This is absolutely impossible.
If something happens to Tang He, Han Du can at most pay for it with his life. If something happens to Lao Zhu, he can only pay for it with the lives of everyone in the Han family.
Han Du quickly ran to Tang He, pulled his arm nervously, and asked sternly: "Mr. Xin Guo, do you know what you are talking about?"
Tang He sneered at Han Du's nervous behavior, "When I was killing people on the battlefield, you weren't there? Now it's your turn to teach me a lesson?"
When Han Du heard this, he was short of breath for a moment, but he still refused to give up and said: "Then you can't let the emperor be in danger."
Although Tang He was older, he was a fierce general after all, and his strength was not comparable to that of Han Du. With a simple wave of his hand, he broke free from Han Du's hand. It was really a light wave, but Tang He was still unwilling to do so.
The result of hurting Han Du. Otherwise, if others dared to grab Tang He's arm and twist it casually, their bones and tendons would be broken.
"You kid, you keep saying it's dangerous to sit on this thing, it's dangerous. I've been sitting here for the past few days, but haven't I just stood here properly? Is there any danger?"
Han Du shook his head and advised: "If something doesn't happen now, it doesn't mean it won't happen next time."
Seeing that Tang He could not be persuaded, Han Du simply gave up the idea of persuading him.
Turning around and looking forward to Lao Zhu, he said: "Your Majesty has a body of thousands of gold, which is absolutely unacceptable~"
Don’t ask for anything!
Before Han Du could finish speaking, Lao Zhu jumped into the mine and sat down.
Han Du stood stunned on the spot.
The wind on the mountainside seemed to be getting more cheerful, blowing on Han Du's official uniform, making him feel a little chilly on his back.
However, this was nothing compared to his cold heart. Looking at the two tracks extending along the arc of the hillside, and looking at Lao Zhu who was already sitting in the mine car, Han Du's phobia about tracks was overwhelming.
About to commit a crime.
Tang Hecai ignored Han Du's expression and eagerly followed Lao Zhu into the mine cart and sat down.
Seeing this, Han Du had no choice but to bite the bullet and climb into the mine cart. After entering the mine cart, Han Du discovered that this mine cart was somewhat different from those loaded with coal. Not to mention it was clean, but there were also a few simple things inside.
The wooden benches are made by craftsmen at first glance and are very rough.
At this time, Han Du realized that Tang He had directly occupied one of his mine carts. No wonder Han Du was always clean every time he saw Tang He.
If he was riding in a minecart that had been loaded with coal, he would definitely be covered in charcoal dust after just one ride.
But now that Lao Zhu is sitting in, it would be a good thing to keep it clean. Otherwise, if Lao Zhu is covered in charcoal dust, Han Du himself will probably be the first to be punished.
Tang He glanced at Han Du who was huddled in the corner, and said contemptuously: "Don't come up if you're afraid of danger. No one asked you to come up."
Han Du pretended not to hear Tang He's words, lowered his head and said nothing.
I really don’t want to come up, but Lao Zhu is already coming up, how can I not follow him?
