After coming back to his senses, Liu Mingqi asked curiously, "Magistrate Sima, why are the prices of grain everywhere high? The bran in the capital is still 130 cents per liter. How can you buy bran that costs 70 cents per liter?"

Sima Bei replied: "The price of the Imperial Palace is already different from that of the Jingji area. We are in the marginal area and the price level is not high. Therefore, in the past, the price of bran was only 45 cents per liter.

Because there was not much food waste last fall and there was a bumper harvest last year, everyone's reserved grain was barely enough. This time, I heard that the county government was going to buy it, so everyone gave the officials a face and sold it to the court with a little cheaper price."

I understand.

These gentry and landlords sold them for cheap face because of Sima Bei.

Otherwise, no matter how cheap the market price is, it should be nine liters or ten liters per liter.

He just said that he had purchased 200,000 shi of bran. The amount added up to the cost, which saves a lot of money.

"Brother Bao, please let the CSR go to check the bill later and give the money for bran, pigs, chickens and ducks first." Liu Mingqi pondered, "In addition, allocate 100,000 taels of silver to the Sima County Magistrate as our budget for this time, more refunds and less compensation."

"good!"

Xiong Dabao nodded and agreed.

Sima Bei was not polite, and bowed: "Sir, thank you for your understanding. The lower official will write down every account to reconcile. Please rest assured."

Deng Hui next to him asked, "Is Sima County Magistrate a Legal student?"

"When General Deng said, the official is a student of the Legalists." Sima Bei replied.

"It's great to be organized and well-founded." Deng Hui said, "I am only responsible for security. I will be responsible for the next site preparation and the corresponding cooperation. I think Governor Xiong has told you the importance of this matter, so you must not delay or perfunctory."

"The officials understand that the officials will do their best to cooperate with Prince Yu." Sima Bei still answered seriously.

"By the way, Sima County Magistrate, do you believe the situation described in Feige's letter?" Fang Lei suddenly asked, "A carriage can pull 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of supplies and successfully arrive at the disaster area?"

Sima Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no factual expression, and the officials cannot reply. However, 35 miles away from here is Xiwa Village in Xiangyang, Hubei. If the first batch of materials can be transported there smoothly, we can say whether it can be done and whether it can produce a miracle."

Wu Yeshuang next to her smiled unconsciously.

Sima Bei is really a standard Legal student, everything is straightforward.

Of course, that should be.

If it weren't for knowing how magical Liu Mingqi was, many people wouldn't believe it.

From this point of view, the emperor and the court ministers were also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. With Liu Mingqi's previous saint articles as the foundation, he forced himself to believe that Liu Mingqi would not lie and could make a sled truck carrying 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms per vehicle.

Liu Mingqi didn't care, "After the meal, everyone would rest for an hour and then gather outside. Sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood, rest well and maintain a good spirit to do things."

"I'll inform them now." The county magistrate next to him quickly walked out.

Sima Bei looked at Liu Mingqi without changing his eyes, and he was still so calm and respectful.

But he was also curious.

What exactly can be done to make the sled truck carry 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms?

...

Liu Mingqi quickly showed her abilities.

After sleeping for half an hour, he took a group of people to the official road on the border.

The shed is directly built on the edge of the official road, and if you go out for a hundred meters, it belongs to Hubei.

It's also amazing.

It was just about five hundred meters away, and there was heavy snow on the other side, but there were no snowflakes on the other side.

Looking at the junction of the official road, the snow over there was more than one meter deep, but it was just because of the tilting effect of snowflakes, and there was a snow downhill.

Retracting his gaze, Liu Mingqi took out the seventy-five drawings he had drawn in the capital after spending half a day.

On the way, the carpenters listened to Liu Mingqi's explanation not next time.

They know exactly which model of parts they should make.

So, more than 300 carpenters who came from Beijing, together with more than 100 carpenters from Xinye County, divided into dozens of groups, and began to saw, trim, slice, and polish according to the scale.

Since the carpenters in Xinye County made a lot of preparations in advance, the work speed was very fast.

In less than an hour, the first small sled car was successfully spliced.

It is said to be a small sled car, but in fact it is seven meters long and three meters wide.

Compared to an ordinary carriage that is only more than three meters long, this is already super long.

What's more, the sled car has no heading at all, which means that as long as it is tied properly, it can be piled up high.

He ordered a group of workers to carry the sled car onto the snow-covered official road with ropes. Liu Mingqi began to ask them to pile up seventeen logs directly on it and tie them tightly with ropes.

Before getting on the bus, each log was weighed and weighed about 8,000 kilograms.

Wu Yeshuang, Fang Lei, Liu Mingyou, Deng Hui, Xiong Dabao, and the carpenters involved in the production, including Sima Bei, all know that the drawings have three sled car sizes.

The first one is the smallest size, the second one has increased its length to fifteen meters and its width is five meters, and the largest one is twenty-one meters and its width is eight meters.

The maximum load capacity of the smallest sled car is 12,000 kilograms, the maximum load capacity of the medium sled car is 28,000 kilograms, and the maximum load capacity of the large sled car is 40,000 kilograms.

These were all calculated by Liu Mingqi according to a series of formulas.

Liu Mingyou looked at these calculation formulas like heavenly books and regarded them as treasures. He immediately expressed his idea of ​​worshiping Liu Mingqi as his teacher.

But not only does he have one year older than Liu Mingqi, but he is Liu Mingqi's cousin. How can he calculate this seniority?

So Liu Mingqi declined temporarily and asked him to follow him to start learning basic physics.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the apprentice is not a disciple. He will teach Liu Mingyu the best physics knowledge and make him the spark of physics pioneers.

Come back to your eyes.

It is naturally impossible to use the maximum load capacity for the first experiment, but chose the relatively safe eight thousand kilograms, which is two-thirds of the load capacity.

But to Sima Bei and others, the weight was already amazing enough. Even a carriage with eight horses could not transport such heavy goods. First of all, the wheels couldn't stand it.

The sled car is strictly made in accordance with the European and American model, and the small sled car can still sit three to five people at the front.

On the one hand, they can be grooms, and on the other hand, they must push the sled car behind when starting.

The small sled car is set to pull two horses, the medium size is four horses, and the large one is six or eight horses, depending on the situation.

In fact, the large sled cars in the Arctic Circle can also drag 30,000 to 50,000 kilograms of wood with only two horses, but they are heavy horses, and there are no heavy horses in the Asian continent.

The experiment began soon.

Liu Mingqi randomly selected five grooms and asked them to perform.

They had received relevant teaching and training from Fang Lei before and knew the entire process.

But the first operation still seemed a little unfamiliar.

Four people pushed the sledge, and one person beat the horse in front, and it was still difficult to use force together.

At first, the sled did not move, and the people watching next to him were hesitant and even a little nervous.

Even Xiong Dabao was asking Liu Mingqi if he wanted him to help push it.

"Wait a little longer." Liu Mingqi was a little puzzled, but she still chose to persevere.

Now you can find someone to push, but if you don’t adapt, if you stop unexpectedly in the middle, who will push?

If he couldn't push, Liu Mingqi would rather add two horses than increase the manpower.

"Huh... it's moving, it's moving!"

Suddenly, Fang Lei next to him shouted.

Liu Mingqi looked up and saw that, as expected, the sled car slowly began to move.

Although the amplitude is very small, it is moving little by little.

Just start moving.

Next, the sled car moved faster and faster, and began to slide away visible to the naked eye.

Four grooms pushing sled carts in the back immediately ran to the front and sat in the carriage, driving along the pipe and heading far away.

At first, people could still keep up with running, but gradually, as the inertial force grew, the horses ran and the sled car became faster and faster, and gradually people were left behind.

"Oh my goodness!"

"That's amazing!"

Cheers are endless.

Many people present hugged each other excitedly.

Sima Bei, the magistrate of Xinye County, also clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and was very excited.

Even the Yulin Guard and Qianniu Guard who were guarding beside each other had a bright look.

Eight thousand kilograms of wood can run so fast on the snow. This sled is really amazing!

Since eight thousand kilograms of wood are fine, then it must be fine if it is used as grain?

I just don’t know what level of endurance can reach and how far I can go.

"Your Highness..."
