Chapter 622 Draw your sword! (Repair)
...
In the next few days, the school bus and bus companies planned by Chen Xu were preparing in an orderly manner.
The five wealthy businessmen who participated in the fundraising also quickly mobilized all their funds to deposit them into the account dedicated to the Huaxia Money House according to the signed agreement, and all four million yuan was in place.
Yang Kun was appointed as the chief manager of the bus company and coordinated everything.
Therefore, Chen Xu also specially convened five wealthy businessmen to hold a bus company establishment meeting at Qinghe Hotel. In addition to the agreement, the five wealthy businessmen arranged for supervisors to purchase operation sites, open car manufacturing and repair shops, recruit coachmen, grooms, civil servants and logistics, Chen Xu also specially selected five financial personnel from Qinghe Park to form a special financial management team to be responsible for the company's money and income and expenditure. He also specially advertised in the new newspaper to recruit various outstanding talents to join. Therefore, more than 20 managers were recruited within a few days. The entire bus company was in its shape, and several departments had already looked roughly.
After the establishment of a bus company, everything really started to get on track.
In the past few days, the four-wheeled carriage test has been completed and has reached the commercial stage. Therefore, the bus manufacturing and repair shop prepared has also summoned a large number of carpenters and helpers to start mass manufacturing under the command of four craftsmen from the Shaofu Mansion.
In the same few days, the dam outside the city was also built and the large gears on the water truck were installed. Chen Xu spent half a day to observe and used the most primitive method to arrange manpower to push the water truck to rotate slowly. After positioning one tooth and one tooth, the size of the large iron mill was designed and the number of teeth needed was twenty. In this way, the large water truck turned around and the iron mill three times, completely reaching the speed originally expected.
Because the gears are increased, the entire mill cannot be placed on the ground like before. You can only dig a large hole down and place the iron mill under the gears. This will give you the best transmission effect. Another advantage is that it is more convenient to feed materials. Standing directly on the ground, you can easily put various stones into the iron mill.
In order to facilitate the discharge of materials, Chen Xu asked someone to dig out an inclined passage nearly twenty meters under the stone mill, and installed an inclined outflow hopper under the stone mill. In this way, the ground stone flowed along the hopper into the inclined passage like a rice machine. Then, wooden rails were installed in the inclined passage, allowing the factory to cast a batch of iron wheels with a diameter of about one foot, and then build a batch of four-wheeled small bucket trucks. Just like a mine truck in a coal mine tunnel, a large winch was installed on the top of the passage, and a rope with an iron hook could be hung on the truck and pulled it with manpower.
It takes about ten days to pour the new iron mill, and the excavation of the passage and the rushing trucks and the construction of the rush are carried out at the same time. At the same time, it is necessary to build a house that covers the mill and a material storage factory must be built on a leveling site near the mill.
In short, this is a systematic project, which is simple to say, but in every way you do, you need to arrange people to carefully supervise everything. Otherwise, if a place is not designed properly, it will be a lot of trouble in the future, and may even lead to safety accidents.
The Weihe Bridge, seven or eight miles upstream of the waterwheel, is also advancing tense and orderly.
The dozens of acres of farmland collected on both sides of the Wei River are filled with blue bricks, sand, gravel, cement steel bars, as well as a large amount of wood and bamboo, hundreds of craftsmen, and more than 3,000 ragged prison slaves are busy every day under the coordination of the bridge engineering command center. From time to time, some are tired, sometimes fall into the water, and sometimes others are injured.
Several teams of the imperial guards of the lieutenant's mansion were patrolling in leather armor, holding long swords and swords under the leadership of the Changtun of the Fighting Changtun. A large number of supervisors held leather whips and scolded and beat them under the scorching sun.
In the distance, prisoners and labor slaves also transported building materials such as bricks, stones, wood, steel bars, etc. to stack them in an arranged location.
The approach bridges on both sides of the river began to be built at the same time, and a large gap was dug on the embankment. Teams of prison slaves were dark-skinned and thin, sweating and shouting loudly, pulling thick ropes, and large pieces of bluestone hung on their long arms swaying around in the air.
Two floating bridges lead from the sandbar in the middle of the river from both sides to the sandbar. A large number of prisoners carried large woods and carried sand, gravel and cement on their vines. A hundred meters above the sandbar, countless prisoners were also building a sand wall to divert the water in the river. The two bridge piers have also begun to be excavated, and two large pits with a diameter of ten feet have already taken shape.
Five miles away from the east gate of Xianyang City is a huge construction site.
There are busy sounds everywhere.
The scolding, the noise, the sawing wood, the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the
Such a big noise and the construction instructions posted outside the project command center have excited the entire Xianyang people. Thousands of people flock to the construction site every day to watch the bridge construction process.
Small goodness is true and good, great goodness is false, and the highest good is evil.
Those who do small kindness personally feel the help from others and think it is true kindness and thus create gratitude, such as giving porridge and rice.
Of course, it would be counted if you help the old lady cross the road.
Those who do great good may have good intentions that cannot be understood by others and are considered hypocritical, but in fact they do not have good intentions.
Those who do the most good are often considered to be the evildoers. For example, some people are seriously injured but cannot be cured, they are wailing and suffering but cannot die and be liberated. Some people kill them, which is the most good for the dead. However, to others, it is really the most evil for killing people. For example, killing one person and saving ten people, saving the country and suffering will inevitably lead to countless people suffering, and those who save the world may also be regarded as butchers and tyrants.
For example, in order to maintain the balance of the universe, Thanos collected six Infinity Stones and killed half of the people.
People have different positions, and their feelings and perceptions of good and evil are also different.
Therefore, there is no exact boundary between the great way, yin and yang, good and bad, good and evil.
The bridge in front of him is a very good thing for the people of Xianyang, but in the eyes of these prisoners and labor slaves, it must be a great evil. All the court officials who bullied them and the Qinghe Hou Chen Xu, including the emperor, who brought up the matter, were all evil people. They could be hoeed to death with a hoe and buried under the bridge.
Nothing can satisfy and be happy for everyone.
Standing from different positions and positions, the ways and methods of thinking are absolutely different.
Doing big things is not limited to small matters, and doing great good things requires the courage to bear blame and despise.
Faced with these ragged and skinny prisoners and work slaves, Chen Xu would not care too much. He died and was scolded... Well, it was normal, anyway, the emperor was the one who took the blame.
Anyway, Qin Shihuang has been in the blame for his whole life, and he will not care about more than 30 or 50 items. Who dares to scold me... and he will be buried.
In Xianyang City, many things change silently.
Recently, many people have found that there are more wooden signs on many streets, with the words "several bus routes" marked on it, and the names of the station signs below. The back of the wooden signs read the location of the bus route passing by. Everyone was confused, but the people who placed these wooden signs were wearing uniforms and the words "Xianyang Bus Company" were printed behind the clothes.
This strange thing attracted the attention of the perverted people. After repeated inquiries, he learned that Qinghe Hou had submitted a memorial to open a bus in Xianyang. These lines were the bus routes, but no one knew more specific details such as buses.
Therefore, with the emergence of these wooden signs and people from the bus company, this incident, together with the Wei River Bridge outside the city and the Water Wheel Mill, became the three biggest hot topics in Xianyang City. Everyone could not escape these three major events that were happening when they met and chatted.
At the gate of the Women's College, it was still crowded and chaotic when going to and from school. Although there were soldiers and the college's continuous command and management, a large number of carriages were still blocked, and the noise of scolding could be heard outside the streets.
However, after school today, all the students received a notice, asking the students to take it home to inform their parents. In the future, there is no need to arrange a carriage to pick it up and drop it off after school. The school will arrange a carriage to pick it up and drop it off. The notice of each student points out the time and place of the ride. Of course, several princesses are not listed here, and all the princes and princes, nobles and merchants are treated equally.
Although all the parents who received the notice were a little unclear, since Qinghe Hou wanted to arrange a pick-up and drop-off, everyone was happy and felt very happy. After all, arranging pick-up and drop-off of family servants every day was an extremely troublesome thing. It was not only time-consuming but also cost money. The college was willing to pick-up and drop-off for free. Why not? As for safety issues, there were no people considering it. This is Xianyang. There were imperial guards in the streets and alleys of the Lieutenant's Mansion patrols continuously. Besides, who dared to attack Qinghe Hou's convoy, and a Taiyi Divine Thunder came down and exploded into dust.
The next morning, the bell at the fifth hour of the Yin hour in the palace had just sounded, and all the civil and military officials who went to court all took carriages to the Chaogong Hall, ten three-meter-long four-wheeled carriages were pulled out of the gate of Xianyang Women's College under the guidance of two strong horses. With the sound of the driver's scolding and waving the whip, these ten strange four-wheeled carriages drove out of the street, flexibly turned a corner at the intersection and ran in different directions.
"I'll put a straw, what kind of carriage is this?"
The people who got up early were shocked by the four-wheeled carriages that were bent over the flat ground, and their eyes fell to the ground, and their mouths were opened and their chins could not be pushed up.
"How can a four-wheeled carriage turn so flexible?"
"I don't know, could it be that the carriage has become a spirit?"
"You're so crazy, haven't you seen Xianyang Women's College written on every car?" A scribe was stunned but still recognized the words on it.
"Can the women's college carriage run smoothly with four wheels? What is your theory? Could it be that I bullying someone but I didn't eat Gongqi?" Another scholar Luo Tuo, wearing a patched scribe uniform, rolled his eyes.
"Do you eat or not, but it's reasonable that you can't get along with the food in your head!" The talker looked at him disdainfully.
"I will never stop talking so rudely today. Draw the sword!" The scribe of Patch choked and pulled out a rusty bronze short sword with him.
"I'm afraid you won't succeed. Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know that poverty is not scary. Is stupid really hopeless!" The answerer lifted his robe and exposed a delicate scabbard inlaid with red sapphires around his waist. He pressed his hand on the spring and pulled out a steel sword with a flash of cold light.
"Ga~" Patch scribe glanced at the rusty short sword in his hand, trembled and took a few steps back, and a smile that was even worse than crying was squeezed out on his face and said, "Brother, don't get angry, I'm just kidding!"
"Hmph!" The answerer inserted his sword into the scabbard and snorted proudly, "The ignorant is fearless. These strange four-wheeled carriages are all carriages from the Women's Academy. The Women's Academy was opened by the Marquis of Qinghe, and Qinghe is a disciple of the Immortal Family. What's so strange about creating four-wheeled carriages that can be easily turned!"
The patch scribe was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, these strange carriages must have been made by Qinghehou, but what does it mean to write a few routes on each car?"
"I think it has something to do with the wooden bus signs that appear in the streets and alleys recently. If you follow these carriages to check, you will know. Maybe you can write a news article!" As the scribe spoke, a carriage drove over from the side.
"Where is Mr. Xu?" the groom asked with a smile.
"Let's go, keep up with the strange four-wheeled carriage in front!" The scribe climbed onto the carriage and sat down.
"Wait, brother, is it a reporter from the newspaper?" The scribe Patch was stunned for a moment and rushed up to grab the shaft of the carriage.
"Yes, don't delay someone writing news, let go!" The scribe in the carriage shouted impatiently.
"Brother, can you carry me on? I recently heard an interesting story that may be helpful for you to write an article!"
"Okay, come up!"
