Yang Dayuan and Ermazi went to convene dozens of groups of five to help the business and discuss the dismissal of the Lu Family Trading Company, and also hand over the pig intestine. Although this matter is not troublesome, basically the people in the five groups are still in the dark. When Zhao Qi and others were busy these days, A'an Ermao Donggua and the others continued to work in the Lu Family Trading Company, and there may be some people who are unwilling to quit, so they have to discuss and comfort them.

Yang Dahu was responsible for building and purchasing a batch of steel drill sledgehammers and axes and knives, buying some horses, mules, donkeys, carriages, ox carriages, etc. Every day, a group of people traveled to Dawan Village and Yanggong Town. It was very inconvenient without transportation, and these livestock and vehicles could be used to pull carts and transport goods in the future.

Ermao and Liu Dong were responsible for convening people to clear the deserted beach to fight.

After everyone left, the cave suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Qi sat down and breathed a long sigh, spread out paper on the bamboo table under the pergola, picked up a quill and a bamboo ruler, and prepared to design some new things.

First of all, it is a means of transportation. At present, whether it is a ox, horse, horse, or a human-powered cart, apart from a single-wheeled chicken bus, the big cart has two wheels.

The reason why they all have two wheels is because they are easy to turn. There has not been a differential and steering wheel invented yet. Therefore, even if there are four-wheelers on the dock, they can basically only go straight and turn very inflexible. Almost no one uses it in life.

As a cargo port with cargo throughput as its main purpose, convenient freight loading and unloading is the biggest advantage.

Therefore, Zhao Qi had to design a four-wheel truck that was easy to load and unload. The differential could not be used at the moment, but the simplest front steering was still very simple. To put it bluntly, it was like a hand tractor. A vertical bolt was added between the carriage and the front.

Because there is no need for the front of the car at the moment, the connecting bridge between the two front and rear wheels is directly omitted, and a bolt is riveted to make a movable interface that can swing left and right.

He pinched his chin and thought about drawing. Half an hour later, the drawings were revised a few times, and the graphics of a four-wheeled van were drawn. Zhao Qi also specially drew the structural diagram of the movable chassis. Although it was relatively simple, it should be easy to understand according to the current technology of the Song Dynasty. At that time, it would be fine to hand it over to Yang Dahu to create the load-bearing and riveting parts with steel. As for other frame parts, it is not a problem at all.

In fact, because of the lack of horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were relatively few horse-drawn carriages. Rich people often rode horses and rode sedans when they went out. However, because Yanggong Town was adjacent to the harbor, there were many rich merchants and wealthy people coming and going, and horse-drawn carriages were not uncommon. They could be seen everywhere in the wharf or in the town, and they were very delicate and sturdy.

Zhao Qi believes that if this kind of nimble four-wheeled carriage is made, it will soon become popular near the harbor.

"What car is the one that grandson is drawing?" Old Mrs. Su came over with a crutch and was about to make a cup of tea for Zhao Qi. After looking at the drawings on the table, she was a little surprised, with wrinkles on her face covered with question marks.

"Grandma, this is my improved four-wheeled carriage, which is mainly used to transport goods. If a ceiling is added, it can also be seated. The two wheels in the front can rotate left and right, so it is very convenient to turn, which is more goods than the two-wheeled carriage pulling..." Zhao Qi explained with a smile.

Old Mrs. Su understood, and the question mark on her face turned into an exclamation mark. She praised her kind face with a smile on her face, "The grandson is just smart. She was not smashed by the mountain god in vain. The old woman in the four-wheeled carriage has seen it, but it is the first time she has seen it that can make a turn conveniently!"

"Grandma, when my four-wheeled carriage is ready, I will lead Xiaozhu to the bay in Dawan Village to see the land we bought. The beach pier is very beautiful, and the scenery of the two small islands is also beautiful!"

"Okay, it seems that the old woman is going to enjoy her grandson's happiness..." Old Mrs. Su took out the pottery bowl spoon and tea, and began to grind it carefully, "Sunson, you said you wanted to build a mountain temple last time. Now that you have money, you still have to build it!"

"I almost forgot if I didn't say it. The mountain temple should be repaired. When Uncle Dayuan is finished tomorrow, I will ask him to help find some craftsmen to do it!" Zhao Qi nodded quickly.

"Well, just take it to heart. The warehouse matter is important. I heard that Mr. Yang San from the village is also going to work with you?" Old Mrs. Su asked while grinding the tea powder carefully.

"Yes, I specially invited him to do it together. The situation in Dawan Village is quite complicated, and Yang Sanye is still a village chief, and the boss is in the canal transportation office. If he participates, he will solve many problems. Otherwise, relying solely on Uncle Dayuan and others, many things will not be done well!"

"The grandson has indeed grown up and is very thoughtful. When doing big things, someone must help. Money is outside the body. Talent is the key to success. When the Chu-Han fight, Liu Bang was not as domineering and brave as Xiang Yu, but he knew how to use it well. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Peng Yue, Han Xin, and Chen Ping, who are not among the people? Many of these people were originally under Xiang Yu's subordinates, but Xiang Yu was in a bad mood. In the end, he forced all these people away and ended up miserable. Don't imitate his brains like his arms full of flesh..."

Old Mrs. Su nagged while making tea. She skillfully put a cup of fragrant hot tea in front of Zhao Qi.

"Thank you grandma!" Zhao Qi put down his pen and ruler and took a sip. He felt a stream of heat rushing into his internal organs, and sweat suddenly emerged from the pores of his body.

"Come here!" The old woman waved to call Xiaozhu who was washing clothes.

"Grandma!" Xiaozhu ran over with his hands on his clothes, standing in front of the two of them with some anxiety.

"Today I will teach you some tea art. I will leave it to you for serving the young master to drink tea in the future. I will do it again. If you still can't order camellias in a month, you will be beaten!"

"Yes, grandma!" Although Xiaozhu was a little scared, she nodded quickly.

"Grandma, we haven't bought any tea sets at home. It's too difficult for Xiaozhu to learn to order camellias in a month. Xiaozhu is still so small!" Zhao Qi was surprised to excuse Xiaozhu.

"What a little girl, I'm not as old as her, I can do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" The old woman spoke without any pity.

"Aren't our family poor? There is nothing, and no one teaches Xiaozhu!" Zhao Qi was so amused and crying.

"I used to be poor, but now I'm not poor anymore, so I'll start learning, first learn tea art, then learn calligraphy and painting. As a slave, I can't do anything, and how to serve the young master in the future. If I can't learn it for a month, then get out~" Old Mrs. Su's voice suddenly became much colder.

"Grandma, I must study hard. Don't drive me away!" Xiaozhu was so scared that her face was pale and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Grandma, what are you doing? Don't rush Xiaozhu away!" Zhao Qi quickly put down the teacup and stood up and pulled Xiaozhu up. Looking at a scar on her forehead and her fearful look, he quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the grandma just scares you and will not drive you away. My brother said that he wants to take care of you for the rest of his life, that is for the rest of his life. What the grandma said should be good at studying. It doesn't matter if I can't learn well. I don't care about these things!"

"If you spoil her like this, she may not be obedient in the future. When I bought her, the contract was only ten years, but now it has been five years. If you can't learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and tea within five years, you won't keep her even if you are old!" Old Mrs. Su said in a cold voice.

"Plop~"

Xiaozhu knelt on the ground again, kowtowed hard with tears in her eyes and said, "Don't worry, grandma, Xiaozhu will definitely study hard. If she is stupid and lazy, grandma hits me hard, just ask not to drive me away. Xiaozhu wants to serve the young master and grandma for the rest of her life!"

"You are still a little conscience, but remember that you are just a slave. No matter what happens in the future, you must keep your identity in mind. You dare to have improper thoughts. Don't blame me for killing you!" Old Mrs. Su held her crutches in front of Xiaozhu.

"Woo... Grandma Don't worry, Xiaozhu doesn't think too much, she just wants to take good care of the young master and grandma..." Xiaozhu kowtowed hard as she cried.

"Well, get up, learn some tea from me from today!"
