Chapter 79 The Truth of the Great Heroes’ Martial Arts (Part 1)

Zhao Xing finally entered a wooden ware shop. He customized 1,000 large wooden barrels and 5,000 long crates in this wooden ware shop. Such a huge order made the wooden ware shop a little overwhelmed. They only completed 70% of the orders. After seeking Zhao Xing's tolerance, the shop owner agreed to complete the work within a few days.

When he returned to the inn, Cheng Azhu was so tired that he couldn't walk. At this time, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered to let Liu Xiaoer accompany her to move freely. But at this time, Cheng Azhu was so tired that she couldn't speak.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, most women had not had foot binding yet, and women with small feet began to become law in the Southern Song Dynasty. Cheng Azhu was not small feet, but she still felt tired when she walked so many roads for the first time. However, she was a gentle woman, and she still forced herself to accompany Zhao Xing to finish supper.

In the next few days, when Cheng Azhu opened her eyes, Zhao Xing had run away without a trace. After this situation lasted for several days, Zhao Xing suddenly notified his followers and prepared to return to Hangzhou.

When the team left Quanzhou, it was completely different from the low-key entry of Quanzhou City. After leaving the north gate, a group of people brought a few big horses and three carriages. The entire team immediately transformed into a bully in bright clothes and angry horses.

It was really a happy thing for people to be bullies in ancient times. The Xiao brothers took the lead in opening the way. Several students from Chengjiaao guarded both sides of the carriage, Jin Buer was pressing at the end of the team, and Cheng Shuang followed several brothers from the Jiangxia Cheng clan, Chen Qing's son Chen Buqun followed behind Zhao Xing's carriage. The group came, and everyone hid, and the dog hid, and the chicken didn't dare to catch insects on the side of the road.

Zhao Xing was the coachman in the first carriage. He waved his whip and drove a fat horse of Lu'ao. The carriage was walking very lightly, and the body was thunderous, and the spring light made people feel a bit sunny.

The shapes of these three carriages are very strange, and they are quite a bit like the style of the chariot in the Terracotta Warriors. But when you look closely, it is different from the chariot. This car removed the dome that looks like a dome and replaced it with a square vine shed. On rainy days, a piece of cloth on the roof can help shelter from the rain; on sunny days, a piece of translucent brick yarn is built on the shed, which has a kind of elegance and elegance. Moreover, this style is not an exaggeration, and the method of stroking the edge ball makes it feel more exciting to drive.

The axles of the carriage were also replaced with iron long axles. The body was not wide and could only be used for two people. This allowed the axles to be made very thin and greatly reduced the weight. The entire body was a piece of integrally cast bronze sheet, with leather and wood on the outside, reducing the weight of the body to the lowest level that productivity could achieve in this era.

The carriage looks very light, and a horse can pull it to run quickly. Zhao Xing missed the style of the lords in the Warring States Period. After learning to drive a carriage, he simply held the whip and drove the carriage. Without walking a few steps, he felt his throat itchy and wanted to raise his voice and sing a song "The Song of the Coachman". However, considering that this song was too different, he endured it and swallowed the song back with itchy voice.

Cheng Azhu looked at Zhao Xing with enviousness and waved his whip. Zhao Xing was the most proficient in performance art in this era. The carriage was full of bells, and it sounded loudly when walking.

Drive such a light car and walk on the street, it was as swaying as driving a BMW car while honking the horn. The ringtone announced to people: I'm here! Several children also envied the identity of the driver. They dared not compete with Zhao Xing. The two carriages behind became their targets for competition.

A few days later, the children quickly mastered the skills of driving the carriage. The pride and happiness they showed when driving were irresistible. Even Cheng Azhu couldn't help but envy her. Before entering Hangzhou, Zhao Xing rose a little later. When he returned to the carriage, he found that Cheng Azhu had grabbed the driver's seat early.

Cheng Azhu is a shy girl. She hardly dared to express her thoughts in front of Zhao Xing. This time, her rare boldness made Zhao Xing slightly stunned. Then, he pretended to ignore it and climbed onto the carriage and sat in the passenger seat.

In ancient times, horses were always a strategic resource. At the same time, China has always been a hierarchical society. The families who can use carriages are all vested interests in the hierarchical society. In order to maintain this superiority and inferiority, their carriages are often made huge. The drivers cannot be side by side with them, so they can only be placed in front, which makes the vertical distance of the carriage very long.

The light carriage made by Zhao Xing was very close to the "light carriage" driven by ancient scholars and officials. In ancient times, scholars and officials often drove such "light carriage" alone around the countries, which gave birth to the gorgeous Spring and Autumn and Warring States culture.

Because of the narrow distance of this "light car", it can only be seated for two people. If you are a little fat, you may only be able to sit down. This makes it convenient for those who are unable to travel on their own. They only need to study a little to go where they want to go. The suitcase behind the car can at least carry their own belongings.

The reform of transportation has brought about an increase in the range of people's activities, and the amount of information exchange has increased. Zhao Xing is about to travel far away, and this carriage is a gift he gave to Cheng Azhu. He hopes that Cheng Azhu can learn to drive the carriage so that he can go to the place he wants to go alone when he is not there and the other party is frustrated.

In the Song Dynasty, it was unheard of for women to act as drivers. But driving a carriage is not a complicated problem. Zhao Xing often saw young wives in rural areas, even girls of eight or nine years old, able to drive a carriage. This kind of carriage is for the convenience of travel for the elderly, weak women and children. Therefore, under Zhao Xing's indulgence, the carriage quickly rang and drove into Hangzhou.

The settlement chosen by Zhao Xing happens to be a desolate place now. Cheng Azhu drove the carriage but did not arouse others' scolding.

Now, this manor has become a large construction site, with loggers and construction workers everywhere. They cut down towering trees, sorted out a clearing, and cut down the airtight forests into sparse. In just one winter, the site has been sorted out and several long rows of bungalows have been built.

This long row of bungalows will be used as stables in the future and will now be used as workers' rooms.

At the hillside, many foundations have been dug, and these dug foundations meander along the ridge and lead to the hillside. Judging from the foundation situation, the house built by Zhao Xing is very large and covers an area of ​​about several acres.

"This is our future residence." Zhao Xing hugged Cheng Azhu's shoulder, stood on this foundation, and explained his plan to Azhu: "Along the river, we will build a row of docks to prevent the Qiantang River from flooding this countryside. In the dock area, a row of warehouses will be built. In the future, the sea boats will unload goods directly at the dock.

There, we will build a water gate to lead a way, separate the dock area from the residential area. Or, we will open the dock area to the outside world in the future, allowing north and south goods to be transported outside from that road. Our goods will enter and exit from that water gate, so that they are both hidden and unobtrusive.

This residential area is built on the hillside, facing the sky, and you can see the movements in the dock area without going out. In the future, we directed the loading and unloading of goods, and then completed it with a few small flags on the roof.

From Shuimen to the residence, there are about several stolen lands... Maybe more than ten stolen lands, this place will be a big garden. When I search for all kinds of strange flowers and plants for you from overseas, I will build this place into a Shiqiongyuan. You can take a walk here if you have nothing to do."

Cheng Azhu was so excited that she trembled all over by the scene depicted by Zhao Xing, and the children around Zhao Xing were also conquered by this prospect. They looked at the bare land, looked at the incomplete wooden stakes, and outlined the most beautiful picture in their minds with their imaginations.

Zhao Xing waved and called Cheng Shuang. According to the plan, he would stay in Hangzhou to supervise the manor's supervision and protect Cheng Azhu. Zhao Xing pointed out the incomplete tree stumps and ordered: "Don't cut down those stumps. Some of them can be made into tables or stools. If you are tired of walking, you can rest on them, but it will be full of wild fun.

Don’t throw away the tree stumps you cleaned out. When they are dry, put on tung lacquer several times and carve them into tables, chairs and benches... Those open spaces should not be idle, so plant tea trees temporarily. Do not plant tea trees in pieces, plant patterns on a mu. I will draw a pattern for you in the next round. Let these tea trees be built into a maze. In my spare time, it is also a place to enjoy..."
