Datang romantic little landlord

And once the small households in Dingzhou Village want to complete this task of transporting grain, they will have to force all the strong laborers of their village to join the battle.

If Mrs. Li tries to do something else, such as replacing the cart puller with an old or sick cow, it will make the small households in Dingzhou Village even more miserable.At that time, within 20 days, I am afraid that the mobilization of the whole village may not be able to transport the thousand shi of grain to Yinzhou.

If the task cannot be completed within 20 days, then wait for the county government to send someone to arrest them and put them in prison, and face a lawsuit.

Including Li Wangyou, none of the villagers who offended the Li family in the transfer county can't escape, and they will lose their skins if they don't die.

Lao Cunzheng didn't bother to say much at this time, they were going to set off in five days, and now they had to hurry up and start building the four-wheeled carriage.

He loudly informed the farmers about the corvee transfer to the spring, which immediately caused an uproar in the whole village.

"What? Muramasa, are you right? Let us transport food for one thousand shi to each village. Is this trying to force us to death?"

"The dog officials in Chang'an County! They're going to die!" Someone ignored Yang Zuan's presence and directly cursed the word "dog officer", leaving Yang Zuan speechless and pretending he didn't hear it.

"Old villager, how can we mobilize so many strong laborers during the spring plowing season? If the spring plowing is delayed, it will all be over."

"Chang'an County can't be so unreasonable!"

"Yang Mingfu, you make the decision for us! Isn't this spring tune going to kill more than 100 households in our Dingzhou Village?" Some villagers immediately knelt down to plead with Yang Zuan.

There was a commotion in the village, and the old villager jumped into the wagon full of grain and shouted loudly with all his strength: "Quiet, everyone is quiet, listen to the old man!"

Finally, the farmers stopped, and Lao Cunzheng pointed to the carriage under him and shouted: "You cowards, what a mess! Do you see what this is? These four wheels were built by Li Jiaxiaolang Carriage, are you still afraid that we won’t be able to complete the task? Let me tell you, this transportation of grain is easy, and it will take less than ten days to go back and forth.

When he yelled like this, the farmers in Dingzhou Village suddenly reacted.That's right, everyone has seen this four-wheeled carriage just now, and the four horses trotted all the way pulling thirty stones of grain.

The quick-witted farmer immediately calculated: "One cart is thirty shi, and one thousand shi is more than 30 carts. One carriage and two people, then six or seventy people from our village will be enough. Village Zheng, isn't that the case?"

"That's right, that's it!"

The householders in Dingzhou Village became noisy again. They were all ashamed just now, but now they are all smiling.

Lao Cunzheng yelled again: "Quiet, the matter is not finished yet. This four-wheeled carriage is good, but there is only one, and we will start in five days. We will have to build thirty in these five days." The carriage came out. All the strong laborers in the village put down their work and went to listen to Carpenter Liu to build a four-wheeled carriage, do you hear me?"

The dealers hurriedly nodded and agreed to his words. It was in their own interests, so naturally no one shirked it.

All the young and old in the village got busy under the command of Carpenter Liu and his three sons.

It takes five days to build more than 30 four-wheeled carriages, and the time is still very tight.

Fortunately, this is just a carriage for transporting grain, and nothing else is needed except the chassis, vehicle and steering mechanism, let alone fine workmanship.

Immediately, the village became lively. Those who went to the mountains to cut wood, those who transported wood transported wood, and those who had some skills helped Liu Carpenter's family to pull a big saw.

Looking at the busy working scene in Dingzhou Village, Yang Zuan twirled his beard: "Ziyou, your abilities are really amazing. I don't know how many good things you have left in your belly."

Li Wangyou smiled and said: "Mingfu is absurd, but for the matter of replacing the oxen that pull the carts with horses, I ask Mingfu to help."

What he is most afraid of is that the carriage will be built, but if Chang'an County refuses to handle the horse for him, it will be terrible.

"Don't worry, Ziyou, leave this matter to the county, and I promise to hand it over to your horses in five days." Yang Zuan assured him.

Originally, Chang'an County needed to prepare more than 100 ox carts and more than 200 cattle for pulling the carts for the villagers of Zhou Village.Now that it is replaced by more than 100 draft horses, Yang Zuan naturally dares to guarantee this. Chang'an County has no reason not to agree.

The five days passed quickly, and with the efforts of the whole village, more than 30 freshly baked four-wheeled carriages were rushed out.

In order to save time, even the shafts of the carriages did not have time to be planed, so they were simply made of logs felled from the mountain without even peeling off the bark. These 30 or so four-wheeled carriages looked very shabby and rough.

However, these carriages have all been tested and are very strong. Each of them can easily tow thirty shi of grain without any problems.

Sure enough, Yang Zuan did not break his promise. Early in the morning, Chang'an County sent over 100 cart horses to the village.

All the carriages were harnessed and ready to go.

Li Wangyou is also among the Dinghus who are adjusting the spring this time, so of course he has to go with him.Niu Yong was still looking after the nursing home at home, and Niu Wu accompanied him to Yinzhou to transport grain.

Li Wangyou climbed into the carriage under the instruction of the beautiful boss Qian Dingwanwan.

Lao Cunzheng also set out to transport grain together, and he shouted: "Let's go!", more than 30 four-wheeled carriages filed out, leaving the village and galloping towards Chang'an City...

118 Datang Post Road

The granary in Chang'an City was built near the Dongwei Bridge Wharf in the north of the city.The huge Chang'an Warehouse covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres, and its scale is very large.

After the grain was transported to Chang'an from the Wei River, it was transported to the nearby Chang'an warehouse for storage.The grain stored here not only needs to supply the needs of millions of people in Chang'an City, but also needs to be transported to the entire Guannei Road and Longyou and other areas.

Throughout the history of China, food transportation has been the most troublesome problem.Restricted by the means of transportation, one hundred shi of grain is often transported, and people on the road eat horse chews, and only [-] to [-]% of the grain finally transported to the destination is at most.

Moreover, the longer the transportation distance, the greater the loss.

For example, this time, it takes about [-] miles to transport grain from Chang'an City to Yinzhou. Under normal circumstances, it takes about ten days to walk on the road.

For a thousand shi of grain, more than 100 small households need to be expropriated. In ten days, these more than 100 people will eat fifty shi of grain. In addition to the consumption of cattle, there is only a lot more.

After transporting to Yinzhou, about [-]% of a thousand shi of grain will be consumed.

This is a short-distance transportation with a relatively short distance. If you want to transport grain from Chang'an to Longyou or further away, the journey alone will take one or two months, and the consumption on the road will be even more terrifying.

This time, Dingzhou Village conscripted corvees and transported grain to Yinzhou. In the end, as long as they could pay [-] shi of grain at the warehouse in Yinzhou, the task would be considered completed.

The extra one hundred shi of grain was their ration when they returned.

More than 30 four-wheeled carriages lined up a mighty long queue, and under the surprised eyes of passers-by on the road, they reached the Chang'an warehouse on the Dongwei Bridge.

The old village is taking out the receipt issued by Chang'an County and handing it to the subordinate staff in Chang'an warehouse. After confirming that they are the small households who transported the grain this time, they began to arrange for them to distribute grain.

This certificate needs to be stamped in Chang'an warehouse. After arriving in Yinzhou, the other party has to stamp the stamp confirming the receipt of the grain. Finally, take this certificate to Chang'an County to hand it over, which proves that they have completed this year's corvee. Task.

Seeing that Li Wangyou and the others had only come with more than 30 strange four-wheeled carriages, the subordinate officials in Chang'an warehouse looked puzzled: "Qian Cunzheng, you are going to transport a thousand shi of grain this time, why did you come with these vehicles?" , are they all horse-drawn carts? Didn’t the county prepare ox carts for you?”

Lao Cunzheng smiled: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it can hold it, our carriage is big enough."

The subordinate had a strange expression on his face, but this matter was out of his control, he only needed to deliver enough grain according to the receipt, as for how to transport Dingzhou Village, it had nothing to do with him.

After checking that the receipt was correct, and that the seams, plots, and stamps were all correct, the subordinate staff called the laborers in the Chang'an warehouse to start loading the grain into the truck.

To the astonishment of everyone in Chang'an warehouse, each of these carriages was filled with thirty shi of grain, which filled the carriages to the brim.

"With so much food, I'm afraid these horses will be exhausted to death? This horse belongs to the county. If it dies, you will have to pay for it." The subordinate staff kindly reminded.

He has been a subordinate official in this Chang'an warehouse for many years, and he has never seen any cart that can hold so much grain at one time.Even if it is an ox cart, it can only transport ten shi of grain at a time and it will be enough.Thirty stones of grain per cart is crazy!

Lao Cunzheng just smiled and didn't answer.

After all the more than 30 four-wheeled carriages were loaded, he checked around to make sure that the food was bound firmly, stepped on the carriage, and waved his hand vigorously: "Let's go!"

The subordinate staff and handymen in Chang'an Warehouse all stretched their necks to watch the joke. Such a heavy carriage, even if they were exhausted, the draft horses would not be able to drag it, right?
