With one person carrying one on his back, they couldn't walk far or fast. Sikong Yan was in a dilemma.

As Xiao Sizha walked, he looked out the window. There were a few people riding horses, but most people were walking. He wanted to tell Brother Yan everything he saw and thought about, so that he could think about it and find useful value from it.

"Horses run fast, how about each of us ride one?"

He turned around and said to Sikong Yan.

Sikong Yan looked out the window and shook his head. "It costs money to buy horses. If each person gets a horse, that means 5 horses. If we have horses, we won't have food. We also have to pay the soldiers every month. How can we fight without money?"

Little Sizhe blinked his eyes: Yes, it is not possible to have no food and no money? What should I do? Can I sleep and walk at the same time? Sizhe looked at the carriage, he looked at the ups and downs of the carriage. Suddenly he smiled and said, "Brother Yan, why don't we make more carriages!"

Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Yes, we can make more carriages, bigger ones, and sleep ten people in them! Wouldn't that save a lot of horses?" He spoke happily, but his face became gloomy again.

Sikong Yan rested his cheek against the car window and said weakly: "But the horse also needs to rest, we can't tire it to death!"

Sizhe pointed at Taxue Wuhen and said, "Then why can't our horse rest?"

"There's no place where we don't rest, but our horse can travel thousands of miles a day. We can reach the north in a few days. But the soldiers will need at least half a month to travel day and night."

"Ah?!" Si Zhe admired the BMW in front of him with a questioning and amazed look. He didn't know how rare this BMW was, and it was difficult to pick one out of ten thousand horses. He smiled and said to Si Kong Yan.

"That's easy. Just buy more horses like this."

Sikong Yan sighed and stroked his forehead with his hand: "The difficulty is that there is only one BMW, there are not many in the world!"

"Ah?" Si Zhe was extremely surprised! Is it so good? Why is there only one? He was very angry. "Humph! Then, what should I do?" After all, he had never traveled far and wide, and there were many things he had never seen, let alone done.

But even though he was small, the things that happened in the palace kept coming to his mind. Urgent military information, sent by bird messenger, 800 miles away. What he asked his father and what his father told him went by like flipping through a book...

"Yes! Change horses! Brother Yan, change horses!" He suddenly searched for a very important piece of information. This information can help Brother Yan to travel day and night without stopping.

Si Kongyan still didn't understand what he meant by that. "Change horses? What do you mean?"

Xiao Sizhe asked, "How is the emergency transmission of 800 miles in the frontier generally done?"

Sikong Yan's eyes sparkled after hearing this: "Change a stop every eight hundred miles, and change people and horses non-stop! Yes! This is a good method!" As he spoke, his eyes dimmed again.

"But now it's urgent, there's no time to prepare! Who will prepare for you? It's too late now."

Xiao Sizhe was not discouraged. "Don't we still have time? Let's think about it while we walk. We will definitely be able to come up with a solution."

Sikong Yan scratched his nose and said, "You're right! My brother is the smartest." He thought to himself, everything is difficult at the beginning. If he wants to do it, he has to spend money to buy horses first. Let's estimate how many carriages are needed for 25,000 people?

A rough calculation showed that 2,500 carriages were needed. How much did one carriage cost? He had never gone out to buy anything when he lived in the palace. So he didn't know the price of the goods.

Sikong Yan leaned out of the car window and shouted to Han Mingguang who was riding a horse in front of him: "Minister Han, can I ask you a question?"

Han Mingguang reined in his horse and followed the carriage: "Your Highness, please speak!"

"How much is this carriage?" he asked, supporting his cheek.

Han Mingguang glanced at Sikong Yan and found that he was radiant. He was stunned. How could he have changed so much? In less than a day, the little prince had red lips and a white nose! Was it because of the cold weather? Aren't people who are frozen blue and purple?

Sikong Yan saw Han Mingguang staring at him, but he didn't answer. What's wrong? Are there stars on my face? He couldn't help but look himself up and down. He even wiped his face with his hands.

Sizhe looked at Han Mingguang and threw the pine and cypress branch in his hand over to him, hitting him on the face and laughing at him: "Idiot, idiot, you are an idiot!"

Han Mingguang was awakened by the beating. He laughed dumbly and bowed apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I lost my composure! What did you just say?" He thought to himself that the little prince might be less depressed after coming out, so his health showed signs of improvement. This is a good thing!

Sikong Yan smiled and said, "I just want to ask how much a carriage costs."

Han Mingguang looked at his carriage and asked, "Is it one-horse or two-horse carriage?"

"Can pull ten people!" Sikong Yan stretched out his hands.

"I'm afraid this will require at least four horses! An ordinary one usually costs twenty taels of silver! A better one costs thirty taels!" Han Mingguang replied.

Sikong Yan immediately counted on his fingers: "Let's use the normal ones first. One car is twenty... Ten cars are two hundred... One hundred cars are two thousand... One thousand cars are... Twenty, twenty thousand! Wow! That's a lot! How much gold and silver do we have?"

Han Mingguang thought for a moment and stammered: "Your Highness, including our military pay, the total is less than 4!"

"Ah? So little!" Wouldn't his plan fail?

"Why did your little prince buy so many cars?" Han Mingguang was puzzled!

"The North has been occupied, and Shaodou City is in danger. I want to buy carriages and have the soldiers travel day and night to Shaodou City. Otherwise, the territory will be easily occupied by them, and their momentum will become stronger and stronger. We have so few soldiers! I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer them!"

Sikong Yan showed a difficult look on his face.

Han Mingguang also fell into deep thought...

Xiao Sizhe stuck his head out of the window and stretched out his hands, imitating Sikong Yan's behavior: "Twenty for one carriage, two hundred for ten carriages, two thousand for a hundred carriages, and ten thousand for a thousand carriages. Wow, so many, so many! I want to buy, I want to buy, I want to buy now! Just buy this much, just buy this much, that's enough, hehe..."

Sikong Yan's eyes sparkled, and he tapped the car window: "

Yes, buy this many first and take turns using them! "

Han Mingguang didn't understand what he meant: "How do we take turns using this?"

"Shall we go to the town ahead and collect carriages?" Sikong Yan seemed very excited!

Han Mingguang was embarrassed, "Your Highness, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy that many carriages even if we get to the town. At most, there will be four or five hundred!"

Sikong Yan waved his hands and said, "Enough, enough. There is more than one county in Dazong!" All things are difficult at the beginning.

After he said this, Han Mingguang immediately understood his intention and laughed, "Yes, yes. In this way, we can all reach the north seven or eight days earlier!" He thought that this little prince was quite smart.
