The official in charge said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, these two new vehicles really opened my eyes!"

"Then tell me carefully, what's so amazing about the two vehicles I designed?"

Ying Zigao looked at the official in charge with interest and asked seriously.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about this trolley first." The official in charge quickly pointed to the trolley graphic on the drawing, and said seriously: "This trolley is small and exquisite, although it only has one wheel, it is more suitable for pushing on rough mountain roads and single-plank bridges!
Not only is it very suitable for Lingnan Mountains, but it is also suitable for the rugged and difficult Shu Road! "

"That's right." Ying Zigao nodded, and then asked, "What about the four-wheeled vehicle?"

"Your Majesty's four-wheeled vehicle is even more ingenious!"

The official in charge quickly said: "Especially the steering mechanism in the middle is very delicate! With this four-wheeled vehicle, the load capacity of the truck can be greatly increased, and the progress of the project can be accelerated!"

"These two vehicles, you should hurry up and make them!"

Ying Zigao said seriously: "Tomorrow morning, we will each make two cars!"

"My minister complies with the order!" The official in charge said hurriedly and seriously.

Early the next morning, just after the morning court, Ying Zigao came to the imperial study and was about to review the memorial, when a guard's respectful voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the official in charge of the official iron smelting workshop asks to see you!"

"Let him in!" Ying Zigao suddenly became interested, put down the brush and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have already made the vehicle you ordered me to make!"

After the ceremony, the official in charge said to Ying Zigao excitedly.

"It's done so soon?" Ying Zigao couldn't help but regain his energy, and asked seriously, "Where is it?"

The official in charge quickly said: "Your Majesty, it's in the yard outside the imperial study!"

"Take me to have a look!" Ying Zigao couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately stood up!

When he came to the yard, Ying Zigao saw two exquisite vehicles, one large and one small.

The small cart is a well-made cart.

The big car is a 4-wheel truck designed by myself!

Ying Zigao strode forward and looked carefully.

Looking at it seriously, Ying Zigao couldn't help stretching out his big hand and began to caress carefully.

Feeling the smooth surface of the vehicle, and seeing that the vehicle is made of carefully selected materials and exquisite workmanship, Ying Zigao couldn't help being very satisfied!
"It's well done!" Ying Zigao patted the car body vigorously, and then said seriously: "The materials are exquisite and the workmanship is exquisite, I am very satisfied!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The official in charge said excitedly.

"Have you tested it after it's finished? What about the carrying capacity, maneuverability, speed, and these performances?" Ying Zigao then asked seriously.

"Your Majesty, I have tried it after it is finished."

The official in charge quickly said: "The trolley can carry at least 800 kilograms of goods, and the performance of the 4-wheeled carriage is even better, it can carry at least 5000 kilograms!
And the mobility and speed are also very good, far better than today's various vehicles! "

"That's good!" Ying Zigao said with satisfaction: "I will give these two cars as a parting gift to Guo Shoujing and the officials of the Ministry of Industry."

"At that time, officials from the Ministry of Industry will definitely send people to conduct experiments!"

Ying Zigao went on to say: "As long as the performance of these two vehicles is excellent, I will reward them for their merits!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The official in charge said hurriedly!
Soon, Guo Shoujing brought officials from the Ministry of Industry to bid farewell to Ying Zigao.

Ying Zigao enthusiastically said a few words of encouragement, and then said seriously to these officials: "You are about to leave for Lingnan to invest in the Lingqu project. Before leaving, I have two gifts for you! "

Hearing this, these officials couldn't help being surprised.

Guo Shoujing was even more curious, and hurriedly asked earnestly, "Your Majesty, what kind of gift is it?"

"What kind of gift is it, you will know it at a glance."

Ying Zi said loudly.When talking, he waved his big hand and ordered: "Submit it!"

As soon as the order was given, there was a burst of cattle braying.

Immediately afterwards, the squeaking wheels sounded.

Soon, a trolley, a four-wheeled ox cart, had already arrived in front of him.

"Your Majesty, these two cars are really amazing!"

Seeing the trolleys and four-wheeled carts, several officials couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

Guo Shoujing was even more excited and said: "This trolley can be pushed by one person, and it is very flexible, very suitable for rough and difficult mountain roads!

These four-wheeled bullock carts have a large load capacity and are put into construction, and their efficacy is several times that of ordinary trucks!

If a large number of such vehicles are put into the project, the progress of the project will definitely be greatly accelerated! "

Ying Zi Gao said loudly: "Aiqing is worthy of being the champion of engineering selected by me, and I can see the unusualness of these two cars at a glance!"

Guo Shoujing hurriedly asked seriously: "Your Majesty, I wonder how much this wheelbarrow can carry? How much can this four-wheeled cart carry?"

"The unicycle can carry at least 800 catties."

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "The four-wheeled ox cart can carry at least 5000 catties!"

Hearing this, the officials present couldn't help being taken aback.

Li Xiaofeng's face showed an expression of disbelief, and he couldn't help asking with some doubts: "Your Majesty, can you really carry so much cargo?"

Ying Zigao said solemnly: "It is true!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't believe your Majesty's words."

Li Xiaofeng didn't believe that a four-wheeled ox cart could pull a whole 5000 kilograms of goods.Busy and boldly said: "It's just that the load is too big, it's unbelievable!"

"Why can't you believe it?" Ying Zigao asked seriously!
"Your Majesty, the truck with the heaviest load can only hold about 1500 catties!"

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Although the four-wheeled ox cart in front of me is made of exquisite materials, exquisite workmanship, and the body of the cart is also much wider, the load capacity will never reach the amount of 4 catties!"

Ying Zigao looked at Li Xiaofeng seriously, and asked, "Does Aiqing refuse to believe what I said?"

Li Xiaofeng quickly lowered his head.

With a respectful attitude and a tactful tone, he still insisted on his own opinion and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I dare to disrespect Your Majesty, but the load, I really can't believe it!"

"I don't want to say more about whether it can carry 5000 kilograms of goods. Why don't we try it now!"

Seeing Li Xiaofeng's disbelieving expression, Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly sneered, and said loudly!

While talking, he ordered the accompanying eunuch: "Let the treasury send 5000 catties of iron! It is important to test the performance of the new vehicle on site!"
