Faster and safer snow removal?

I know this!

Just apply snow melting agent all the way.

But this is nonsense.

Not to mention that there was no snow melting agent in ancient times, even if there was one, it would not work.

Snow melting agent is a guy who is both angry.

Cheap snow melting agents are very harmful to the corrosion of the highway, and even trees and fields on both sides of the highway will be poisoned, which has been affected for more than decades.

Expensive snow melting agents are very effective, but they are expensive.

It is usually used at the airport on weekdays.

But if the airport encounters super heavy snow, it won’t work.

It only costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to use once. Who can afford it?

As a doctor of chemistry, Liu Mingqi certainly knew that the expensive snow melting agent was potassium acetate, that is, organic snow melting agent; he also knew that the cheap snow melting agent was potassium chloride and calcium chloride and other inorganic snow melting agents, in simpler terms, industrial salt.

He knows how to make potassium acetate and how to make industrial salt.

But it was the shortcomings above that made Liu Mingqi not even say anything.

After all, in real life, there are two ways for people to remove snow: first use a snow truck to shovel the snow, then sprinkle sand, and cars and people can leave.

Dakang Chao naturally did not have snowscrapers, so modern things were not a good match for them.

However, Liu Mingqi has no other way.

"Mr. Miao, I don't have a good idea for snow removal, but I have some ideas about how to transport things on the snow." The boy said.

"Snow removal is not good. How much can you teleport things on the snow?" Jing Hedi frowned.

"Because the snow is compacted on the ground, it is smoother and easier to transport." Liu Mingqi said: "The prerequisite is to change the current mode of transportation and use a horse to pull the sled cart."

"Sledge car?"

Jing Hedi had a little impression, "The last time you took Ming'an and Nian Yu to play with snow, they all said that they had taken a sled cart when they came back, and it was this thing?"

"That's just for fun," said Liu Mingqi. "The real sled cart can drag 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of goods with four horses."

"Twenty or three thousand pounds?"

The three of them obviously didn't believe it.

It is amazing that a carriage can pull three or five thousand kilograms. This is not only because of the strength of horsepower, but also because the wheels cannot withstand such heavy weight.

"I made it and ran to the official road covered with heavy snow, and you will know." Liu Mingqi said.

You have never seen the photo of a horse-drawn sled truck transporting logs in Canada in the 19th century. In addition to pulling more than forty huge logs, the two horses also sat on the shelf and asked the horse to pull it away.

In that photo, the total weight of the two horses pulling is probably more than 40,000 kilograms.

But it is a typical heavy horse, which is extremely majestic in itself.

If Dakang does not have heavy horses, it is always OK to get four horses together.

Of course, when starting the start, these people must push the sled behind and give an initial startup force.

Once the horse slowly pulls and forms an inertia on the snow with enough friction, it is basically enough to grasp the direction.

Such a huge sled car must have been customized and must be full of mechanical principles of physics.

It's a coincidence.

Liu Mingqi is a PhD in physics. Such a 19th-century sled car is not a problem for him.

Emperor Jinghe, Xiong Wenqing and Miao Yan all knew that although Liu Mingqi was smiling and had no formality on weekdays, he would not be unsure of what he promised.

"Even if it's not 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms, as long as you can get 10,000 kilograms of things under such circumstances, it's enough." Jing Hedi immediately abandoned the previous plan, "In this way, Mingqi, you should take the people there to make a sled cart first, and say whatever equipment and horses you need, and I'll ask Xiong Dabao to cooperate with you, and you can find him in everything."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jing He said to Xiong Wenqing and Miao Yan: "If Mingqi's method can be used, then the grain transported from Jiangnan to Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei will save a lot of effort! Instead of like now, it will be difficult to go forward every step! We will do more immediately and send them over, and the disaster will be quickly alleviated."

"Your Majesty's method is very good!" Xiong Wenqing nodded, "Even if it is not the whole process, it is just transported in sections and through pipes, which saves a lot of effort and food."

In such a harsh environment, the guys and grooms consume a lot of food, and they eat twice as much. Otherwise, where can they have the strength to transport things to the victims?

As a result, the loss has increased significantly. If you want to send a liter of grain from Jiangnan to Hunan and Hubei, you don’t know how many times the grain will be consumed!

This is why land transportation has never worked in China. We must make the Grand Canal and use water transportation!

For example, in another world, the Grand Canal was fully navigated in the Sui Dynasty, but the King of Wu built the canal of the Hanjiang River in the south section of the Yangtze River as early as a thousand years ago.

On the one hand, they are for convenience, and on the other hand, they are more because they can save a lot of losses.

But this time there is nothing we can do. If we try our best to save people, we can only ignore the loss.

Miao Yan wanted to say that the royal family members could not leave the Gyeonggi area for no reason.

The last time Prince Yu ran to the gates of hell, and this time he left the Gyeonggi area. Isn’t it a bit too often?

But this was requested by the emperor himself, but it was impeccable in terms of the laws.

Of course, Prince Yu did not have the intention to rebel, so he didn't have to think too much about it for the time being.

Jing Hedi said: "It's not too late, Mingqi, you prepare and set off as soon as possible. Are there any difficulties?"

Liu Mingqi replied: "No, I'll clean up and I'll be able to rush to Hubei this afternoon."

"good!"

Emperor Jing He thought for a while, "I will send a thousand Yulin Guards and two hundred and thousands of Niu Guards to protect you, and for the other supplies, you will find Xiong Dabao to prepare all the materials... Mingqi, disaster relief is like putting out fires. Compared with the people in Anhui, Jiangxi, Sichuan and even Xikang, the people in the disaster areas in the Lianghu area are particularly sad. You should work harder and do something!"

"I understand." Liu Mingqi nodded, "Then I'll go down and prepare first."

"Well, Zhao Shou, you can accompany Mingqi and let Xiong Dabao come by. I'll explain it to him first."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhao Shou went out with Liu Mingqi.

When they went out, Xiong Wenqing smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, it is my blessing to have such a capable and responsible talent!"

Just now, the three people, including the emperor, were a little worried. Faced with such an urgent task, it was during the first lunar month again, and would Liu Mingqi feel troublesome and directly shirk responsibility.

After all, the clans can ignore these things, and he has no obligation to do these things.

But the facts proved that they thought too much.

Liu Mingqi agreed without thinking, and today she would go straight to Hubei.

What is responsibility?

This is responsibility!

He never forgot that the clan's children were Dakang's clan's children, Dakang and him all prospered and lost.

Jing Hedi smiled when he heard this, "Although this child is a little naughty on weekdays and likes to play a little, he is still a good child... With his help, we should be able to appear even better!"

Jing Hedi himself was very dissatisfied with himself.

The first ten years were to make up for the various mistakes of the father's reign, and it took more than ten years to make some progress.

But I didn’t expect that in the past five or six years, it was like a catastrophe. It was either a disaster here or a disaster there, a drought or a flood, a locust plague or a typhoon, and it had never been purified anyway.

Now there is another blizzard disaster that affects six provinces. Emperor Jing He believes that his governance is wrong, and God is blaming him.

If the ministers had not stopped him desperately, he would have issued another self-criticism a few days ago.

nonsense.

The ministers are definitely not happy. As an emperor, you, the emperor, issued two self-crime edicts in a row, so where do you put us ministers?

When we comment on this period of time, we will definitely not just talk about the emperor, but will scold us, a group of incompetent and foolish ministers. It is precisely because our ability is not enough that we have caused so many disasters.

But then again, Emperor Jing He was very satisfied that his nephew Liu Mingqi suddenly grew up and became a capable minister whom he could rely on.

How many troubles have he solved for the court in the past year?

Just talking about these achievements, it would be fine to give him a title of a prince.

And more importantly, Mingqi will not affect the various balances of the court. He is just a planner, and he is like a think tank.

The important officials of the court don’t have to worry about his ambitions. After all, it is impossible for the royal family to become an official. The only clan’s family, Zong Zheng, can only manage the children of the royal family, and cannot participate in the government affairs.

This is the best for every emperor.

Liu Mingqi, who has the ability but no ambition, and does not have any desire to peek, can be used as convenient as possible.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jing He looked up at the two of them, "Bo Zhen, Tai Sheng, since Ming Qi said it would work, you should quickly select the most powerful and capable workers and go to Xinye and Xinyang.

I asked the Ministry of Housing Warehouse to prepare bran rice and wheat flour and transport it to these two places. You two actively cooperate with the transportation, so you should not delay the road because of other things."

"Abide by the order!"

The two answered seriously.

During the discussion, the three of them did not consider that Liu Mingqi was bragging at all.

After all, "Encouraging Learning" on the first day of the Lunar New Year is really shocking, and people think of Liu Mingqi as a saint in their hearts.

The emperor and the two ministers subconsciously believed that since they were all saints, they would definitely not lie or deceive people, right?

What's more, it's such an important thing.

Moreover, judging from Liu Mingqi's past style of conduct, as long as he agrees, there will be no big problem.

Now everyone just hopes that he will quickly make this sled.

While speeding up the delivery of things to towns in Hubei and Hunan, we immediately rushed to remove snow when the snow stopped.

Before this...
