Mingshi

Chapter 1251 Sledge
"There are more and more victims, and it's too late. Moreover, the temporary houses are not well protected from the cold. The main reason is that the victims don't have enough to eat. They eat porridge twice a day, and not all of them can drink it."

Luo Xin's face was serious, the porridge twice a day could not maintain the heat in the body at all, coupled with the lack of housing, it was not surprising that people froze to death every day.

"South-to-North Grain Transfer!" Luo Xin turned to look at King Yu.

"The canal is frozen and the road is blocked by heavy snow, so it cannot be transported." King Yu sighed.

Luo Xin closed his eyes, his brows were tightly furrowed.The room was extremely quiet, Zhang Juzheng and the others were also frowning, thinking of a solution, King Yu said softly:

"Master Luo, Master Gao said, you can borrow food from rich households."

"I can't borrow much. At most, we can maintain porridge twice a day." Luo Xin sighed, "Twice a day of porridge is not enough."

"The master also said so."

"Is there any other way, Mr. Gao Ge?"

"No!" King Yu shook his head.

"Where's Xu Jie?"

"Master Gao said that Xu Jie has nothing to do."

Luo Xin rubbed his face with his hands and said: "We still have to transfer grain from the south to the north. Once there is no grain in Taicang, it's not just a problem for the victims, but the price of goods in the entire capital will skyrocket, causing big troubles."

"Yeah, this is exactly what Gu is worried about. But the food from the south can only be shipped in February."

Luo Xin suddenly moved in his heart and said: "Not necessarily."

"Master Luo has a solution?" King Yu's eyes lit up, and Zhang Juzheng and others also looked at Luo Xin.

"Your Highness, send someone to the Ministry of Works and ask some carpenters and blacksmiths to come over."

"This is easy!" King Yu immediately got up and ordered his men to go to the Ministry of Industry.

Luo Xin got up, came to the desk, spread out the paper, and began to draw something.King Yu and everyone gathered around, and when Luo Xin finished drawing, Hai Rui said softly:
"Why doesn't this car have wheels?"

"It's called a sledge! Well, it could be called a tackle, too."

"Sledge?"

And at this time, King Yu's servants came over with several carpenters and blacksmiths from the Ministry of Industry. Luo Xin beckoned them to come over, explained the blueprint to them, and then said:
"Start doing it now, how long will it take to make one?"

The carpenters and blacksmiths saw that King Yu and the adults were staring at themselves, so they summed up and said:

"My lord, let's go back now, give us half an hour, and half an hour must finish it, and then send it to your lord."

Luo Xin waved his hand, turned to look at Tao Dalin and said:

"Master Tao, shall we go to your place for tea?"

"I can't ask for it!"

Tao Dalin smiled happily, and it was also a rare opportunity to invite Yu Wang to the Ministry of Industry for tea.Everyone went to the Ministry of Works, and the carpenter and blacksmith mobilized the entire Ministry of Works to start making the sledge. Everyone worked together, and within half an hour, a sledge was made.Everyone circled the sledge, Tao Dalin said:

"Lord Luo, this sledge just unloaded the wheel!"

"It's not that simple!" Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Two corrugations are used to replace the wheels, and there are iron bars inlaid on the corrugations, okay?"

According to Luo Xin's instructions, the sledge was put on a horse, and then the goods were put on the sledge.Afterwards, a groom began to drive a sledge for a long run in the playground of the Ministry of Industry.

If this was an ordinary carriage, it would have been stuck in the pit long ago due to the deep snow, and it was impossible to move, but this sledge was pulled by a horse and ran very fast.

King Yu stared blankly until the sledge stopped in front of him again, he grabbed Luo Xin's arm excitedly and said:
"Master Luo, that's great! That's great!"

Luo Xin patted King Yu's hand holding his arm and said, "Your Highness, let someone bring this blueprint to the south, or bring these carpenters and blacksmiths to the south, so that the south can quickly make such a blueprint." Sledge, use this sledge to transport grain to the capital, although it is still difficult, but it can be transported."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm going to see my father right now, and bring this sledge to my father!"

King Yu excitedly took the sledge and left. At ten o'clock in the evening, dozens of fast horses rushed out of the capital and galloped towards the south.

This problem was solved, everyone watched King Yu leave in a hurry, and it was almost time to be on duty, so they booed and said that the problem of south-to-north grain transfer was solved, and they wanted to celebrate and asked Luo Xin to treat him.Luo Xin looked at the crowd speechlessly and said:
"I solved this problem, right?"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded together.

"The credit is mine, right?"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in unison.

"Then why do you want me to treat you? You should invite me!" Luo Xin said seriously.

Everyone also said seriously: "Because you are rich!"

"Grass……"

Luo Xin couldn't help swearing, but everyone laughed out loud, Luo Xin also laughed, and waved his hand:
"Go, hot pot!"

Everyone came to Jia's House again, and when the hot hot pot was served, they shook their cheeks and started eating.This time there were only six people from the Sixth Division. Hai Rui didn't come, but left with King Yu. He was in charge of disaster relief, so naturally he wanted to stay by King Yu's side.When they were half full, the crowd finally came over, Zhang Juzheng took a sip of wine and said:
"No, you're not doing your job properly!"

"Why am I not doing my job properly?" Luo Xin said vaguely after eating a bite of meat.

"Don't forget!" Zhang Juzheng said leisurely: "Your duty is to disarm the army, not to provide disaster relief. You solved the matter of disaster relief. What about the disarmament?"

Luo Xin picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then shook his head and said:
"This matter can't be handled well, His Majesty is going to ask the cabinet for questioning?"

"Yes!" Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Luo Xin.

"Then the cabinet is going to take the six departments for questioning?"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded together again.

"Are the six parts going to take our so-called small six part for a trial?"

"Yes!" Everyone's expressions became serious, as if they had some bad feelings in their hearts.

"Is the so-called Sixth Part headed by me?" Luo Xin still asked leisurely.

"Yes!"

"Then, do I, the leader, want to test you?"

"Oh……"

Everyone's complexions became ugly. According to the rules, it really happened for a while.

"Brother Buqi, Master Luo, you can't harm us!" Wen Yinglu said anxiously.

"I didn't harm you!" Luo Xin spread his hands and said, "You all have to come up with some regulations, right?"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Zhu Dashou was also a little confused. The reason why he joined the Fuxing Society was because he had worked hard to adjust Luo Xin and the Fuxing Society. Knowing the ambitions of Luo Xin and the Fuxing Society, he would never shirk responsibility like Luo Xin did today. .

Does Luo Xin's words have any meaning?
