Chapter 801 Concrete Road (2)

Chapter 801

Wheels!

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the carriage with a large carriage quickly drove onto the road and stopped there steadily.

"Mr. Xie, I want to ask you, how much can a normal carriage bear?"

Zhao Jingdian suddenly turned his head and asked.

"This is usually about seven or eight hundred catties. It will not exceed one thousand and two hundred catties at most."

Although he didn't understand why Zhao Jingdian asked such a question, Xie Gufeng still answered truthfully.

"Why is it 1,200 catties?"

Zhao Jingdian continued to ask with a smile.

"This is very simple, because once it is too heavy, the horses cannot pull it, or three, four, or even five horses are needed to pull it, but that is very troublesome. If five horses work together to pull the cart , That’s not something that ordinary horses can do, nor can ordinary coachmen be able to control. Besides, the bearing capacity of the road surface must also be considered. If it is too heavy, the wheels will sink into the mud, and the wheels will be stuck in the mud. You can’t move inside, or even if you can move, it’s very difficult to move. Once the journey is long, it will take a long time, which violates the original intention of the carriage.”

Xie Gufeng said:

The questions Zhao Jingdian asked are basically common sense, as long as they are from aristocratic families, as long as they have some contact with carriages, they should basically understand. There is no profit for businessmen not to get up early. If more people can be transported, why don't everyone want to do it?

"Besides, 1,220, plus the weight of the carriage itself, is already very heavy, at least 1,780 catties, or even close to 2,000 catties. This weight is already astonishing."

Xie Gufeng paused, and added.

"Hehe, Mr. Xie, I understand."

Zhao Jingdian flicked his sleeves, and quickly pointed to a group of guards of the Wang family next to him:

"You, you, you..., you all go up."

Zhao Jingdian just swipe and pull, immediately more than a dozen nimble fighters, densely packed, quickly jumped onto the carriage. This strange move immediately attracted everyone's attention, and a master from a famous family immediately looked over with great interest.

Although I don't know what Zhao Jingdian is doing,

But everyone understands that Zhao Jingdian's actions are definitely targeted, and there must be some special reason.

"Mr. Xie, there should be a thousand or two hundred catties here, right?"

Zhao Jingdian smiled.

"This, indeed."

Xie Gufeng's eyelids twitched. These guards of the Wang family are all physically strong and tall. The weight of these dozens of people going up is not only one thousand and two, but at least one thousand seven or eight hundred catties.

"You, you, you, let go too!"

Zhao Jingdian smiled, stretched out his right index finger, and swiped at another group of Wang family guards beside him.

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone giggled, as if they had expected it a long time ago, they climbed up and boarded the carriage with ease. Up to now, there are already more than twenty Wang family guards in the carriage, and all of them are crowded together. It was at this moment that everyone suddenly understood why Zhao Jingdian made such a cart.

"Master Zhao..."

Seeing this scene, Xie Gufeng couldn't help his eyelids jumping up. More than 20 strong men crowded together densely. This kind of transportation has never been seen before. This is more than two or three thousand catties.

"You, you, you..., you also follow."

On Zhao Jingdian's side, it seemed that the weight was not enough, he pulled again, and the next moment, more guards climbed up with smiles. Some of them stood on the edge of the car, and some hung on the protruding part of the car body. In short, the entire carriage was densely packed and already full of people.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. A carriage actually dragged more than 30 people. Compared with a normal carriage that only pulls three or four people, the load-bearing capacity is ten times greater, which is simply unimaginable.

"My lord, forgive me. You have pulled so many people up, it may be difficult to pull them with just these two horses."

Xie Gufeng suddenly stepped forward and said.

The carriage that Zhao Jingdian found pulled too many people, although Xie Gufeng could feel it, he wanted to prove something to everyone, but this alone would not work.

"Haha, if it works, how will you know if you haven't tried it?"

Zhao Jingdian laughed, not taking it seriously:

"Old Liang, let's start."

Zhao Jingdian gestured to the old coachman on the carriage and drove away, only to hear the sound of the whip, which lashed fiercely in the air, and then fell fiercely on the two war horses.

"Xi Yuyu!"

The horses neighed, and the next moment, the wheels of the chariot turned and roared. In the eyes of everyone, two strong war horses moved forward with a cart carrying thirty people.

At the very beginning, it was obvious that the two war horses were struggling very hard, and the speed of pulling was also very slow. But it got faster and faster as it got to the back, and at the end, the whole carriage roared, pulling the thirty-man carriage forward and rushing forward.

"boom!"

Seeing this scene, everyone burst into flames. His originally casual eyes suddenly widened, his face full of surprise.

"Thirty people! How is it possible! It actually pulled, and the speed is so fast!"

"What the hell is going on? Thirty people are pulled by this carriage, and it can't even move. How did he do it? How could a carriage be able to pull it for so many years!"

"It is absolutely impossible for the carriage to pull more than ten people. Once it exceeds, it will sink, sink deeply, and cannot even move. How can it be so fast?"

...

The scene in front of them completely overturned everyone's perception of the weight of the carriage. Those present were all disciples of big aristocratic families and big wealthy families. This kind of carriage and pulling goods were usually done by servants, but they had to worry about it.

However, this does not mean that everyone does not understand the meaning behind this scene. If the load-bearing capacity of the carriage can be increased by ten times, it means that the family's profits can also be increased by ten times.

They may not care about the details of the carriage, but no one will care about the huge profits behind it.

However, the scene that Zhao Jingdian showed to everyone was far from over.

"drive!"

Hearing a yell, the coachman named Uncle Liang suddenly shook his hand and whipped his whip. Amid Xi Yuyu's groaning, the shaft parted, and a war horse neighed. rushed out.

The next moment, under the shocked eyes of everyone, the remaining war horse continued to rush forward with more than 30 guards of the Wang family alone.

"This, this...how is this possible?! What kind of horse has such great strength."

"It's amazing, I've never seen anything like this in my life."

"Is this still a horse? It's incredible how they did it!"

"No, it's not the horse, it's because of the car!"

"No, it's not a car, it's that 'mud road'."

"No, it's because of the horse!"

...

The crowd was arguing endlessly, and everyone was shocked by this never-before-seen scene. Zhao Jingdian listened to the arguing of the crowd, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a smile.

There is a dispute, which means that the scene he painstakingly arranged is not in vain, and it also means that Master Hou's plan is working, and everything is on the right track.

Yuyu, in the distance, the carriage also stopped after driving more than twenty feet away. Zhao Jingdian made a gesture, more than 30 guards in Wang's mansion laughed and jumped out of the carriage one after another, and gathered around Zhao Jingdian.

"Everyone, you must have seen it. This is the 'concrete road' that Lord Hou said to everyone. As long as this kind of road is built, our carriages will be able to bear greater weight, transport more goods, and generate more energy. profits and save a lot of manpower and material resources.”

Zhao Jingdian glanced across the crowd, his eyes were wise and calm:

"And you should have seen that our road is very smooth. Although there are more than 30 people standing on the carriage, there is no slight bump. You are all from aristocratic families, and there is no shortage of gold and silver treasures. The business is also very smooth. They are all very big, and it is inevitable that there will be some things that need to go out to discuss. If there is this kind of road connection, at least everyone will be more comfortable when going out, and there will not be so many bumps."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Most of the people in the aristocratic family were inactive, unable to do those dirty, rough, heavy, and tiring tasks, and what they wanted most was enjoyment.

Zhao Jingdian's last words are even more attractive to everyone than a horse pulling thirty people. If Wang Chong really builds this kind of road, among other things, everyone present will benefit from it.

"What kind of mud is this... No, it's a cement road. We don't object to investing money in it. It doesn't matter if we invest more. But we have invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. When the time comes, other people will come to take advantage of it." , so what should we do? Didn’t we make wedding clothes for other people?”

A twenty-seven or eight-year-old young man from an aristocratic family suddenly came out, spreading his hands and showing a lot of worries in his eyes.

"That's right, we pay the money and other people enjoy the results, so aren't we being taken advantage of?"

Another expert from the aristocratic family also came out and echoed.

Experts from other aristocratic families, including the Zhao family and the Bai family in the capital, looked at Zhao Jingdian one after another. Although everyone didn't speak, the same meaning was revealed in their eyes.

"These people... are exactly as you expected."

Feeling the gazes of everyone around him, Zhao Jingdian couldn't bear a long sigh in his heart, and he became more and more respectful of Wang Chong who was far away in Wushang.

Although Wang Chong is not here, he has already predicted everything that will happen and what will happen.

If the aristocratic family does not benefit from getting up early, no one is willing to do things that are not beneficial, especially things that are taken advantage of. If they can't be persuaded, I'm afraid that even if they can get their help in road construction, it will be greatly reduced.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will have a major impact on Lord Hou's future plans, and may even lead to the failure of the operation in Talas.

"Fortunately, the young master has already arranged it."

Zhao Jingdian folded his hands, and a thought flashed in his mind. His expression was calm, without the slightest panic.
