Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 73
Zhu Biao picked up the blueprint and said to Shen Zhiwu: "You travel to and from various shops, and the wood is easy to break sometimes. You need to change the iron, but let the blacksmith make the spokes better."

"It's okay, I'm just flustered." Shen Zhi said truthfully.

Hearing what she said, Zhu Biao thought that the wheels he modified before were a little bumpy, but they were improved later.

Vehicles are inseparable from shock absorption.

Only shock absorption can maintain a good ride experience and avoid the suffering of bumpy roads. In this era, there is no cement asphalt road, and shock absorption is more important.

Compared with metal materials, wooden vehicles have toughness and naturally have a cushioning effect.

Moreover, the mortise and tenon structure of multiple joints such as wheels and frames also has a small space for movement.

Zhu Biao has observed today's carriage, its floor is similar to a large sieve, and the shock absorption effect is good.

In this era, there are Futu and Dangtu between the floor of the carriage and the axle, which can be used for shock absorption.

Futu is the object connecting the bottom of the car and the axle, and it is also the shock absorption system of the carriage. It is named because its shape is very similar to that of a rabbit lying on its stomach.

The V rabbit is flat on the top and concave on the bottom, which can just be stuck on the car pump, not only for shock absorption, but also for stabilizing the axle.

When the rabbit is located between the two volts, it is an object that connects the carriage (connecting the horse and the cart to be responsible for forward and turning) and the axle.

If you directly open a hole in the 辀 and insert the axle, it will easily cause the wear and tear of the 辀. Adding a rabbit will not only make it more stable, but also further play a role in shock absorption.

"Your Highness, I remember that when I was a child, the wheels of the carriage were wrapped with animal skins. My grandmother said that my grandfather made them."

"Your grandfather?"

Shen Zhishi nodded.

Is this an ancient rubber tire?

Zhu Biao repeated: "I'm just wondering whether the cushioning can be enhanced by increasing the softness of the iron wheels."

"Yes, I read it in the "Hanshu". It is said that in order to reduce the bumps, the wheel is wrapped with cattail, which is called Anche Pulun. Place some soft seats."

"It can be improved. Even if the journey is farther, you don't have to worry about suffering. Have you ever seen four rounds?" Zhu Biao asked her.

"Yes, but it is only used to pull heavy objects, because when it turns its head, it can only twist it with brute force, which is very laborious."

The two talked for a while, and Zhu Biao hugged her with both hands.

Without any warning, Shen Zhishi dared to feel the warmth.

Perhaps this is a dream, and he will disappear when he wakes up, so dream for a while longer.

"Your Highness, I..."

"Say."

"Is this a dream?"

"No."

The lights flickered, and there was only a figure on the wall.

Shen knew whether he knew what he was going to do next, his cheeks were hot, and the decisiveness and boldness he usually used to do business was useless at this moment.

With a trembling voice, he murmured, "Diandian... Exit."

"Well, don't talk."

……

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Miss? Are you asleep?"

The two of them were slightly stunned, Shen Zhishi gently pushed him away and said, "It's...Xiao Lian, Your Highness."

"I want to settle the score with Muying." Zhu Biao stood up.

Shen Zhizhi straightened his hair, and then laughed out loud.

"Miss, are you there? It's time to take a bath." Xiao Lian's voice was brisk, and she was in a very good mood.

"I'm feeding silkworms, come right away."

After she finished fastening her clothes, Zhu Biao walked over and opened the door.

"Hey, why is Your Highness here?" Xiao Lian watched as Zhu Biao walked towards the house.

Shen Zhishi sat at the table and looked at the silkworm.

She didn't understand, the doors and windows had to be closed to see a bug, it wasn't cold.

Zhu Biao glanced at Xiao Lian and said, "Where is Mu Ying?"

"He's gone back to his room." Xiao Lian bowed to Zhu Biao to salute again, and ran in to tidy up the room.

After Zhu Biao left, Xiao Lian saw that Shen Zhiwu's face was flushed, and said in surprise: "Miss, are you suffering from a cold? Why is your face so red?"

Walking to the yard, Zhu Biao calmed down slowly with the cool wind blowing, took a big breath of cool air, and then walked to his room.

Seeing the leafless potato stalks in the garden, Zhu Biao remembered that he had to ask Shen if he knew.

She said that it was there in her ancestors, could it be that someone from her Shen family had gone to sea, and she couldn't let go of any doubts.

It is also possible to go to sea. In case there are any traversers in Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, it is not impossible to go to sea.

This idea is too bold, Zhu Biao shook his head.

When he woke up the next day, Zhu Biao looked at Mu Ying and said, "Take care of your little lotus."

Mu Ying looked bewildered, then followed up and said, "Your Highness, it's time to go back to the palace today."

"understood."

The breakfast was already on the table, Zhu Biao glanced at Shen to see if she was sitting by the table with the account book in her hand.

Zhu Biao rubbed his chin, and glanced at Shen Zhifu's account book, seeing her drooping eyelids, wondering what she was thinking.

Seeing Zhu Biao looking over, he simply put down the account book and said, "Your Highness."

"Can you see the account book if it's turned upside down?"

"Your Highness, I'm going to see if Xiaolian's cooking is ready."

Mu Ying glanced at Shen to see if she knew.Strangely said: "What's wrong with Miss Shen? Your Highness, why did your mouth break."

"Eat." Zhu Biao said.

Muying looked at the few small dishes on the table and wondered, the meal hasn't been served yet.

Before leaving, Zhu Biao walked up to Shen Zhiwu and said, "When did you give the Gu's sons and grandchildren to you?"

"I heard from my father that it was left behind by my grandfather, and my grandmother said that my grandfather and friends went overseas."

Zhu Biao turned his head and said, "Your grandfather...where is that man now?"

"My grandfather is no longer alive. When I go back to my hometown in Suzhou, I will ask my grandmother. When she mentions my grandfather, she is always very mysterious."

Does Shen know that his grandfather always made a lot of strange things when he was a child.

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Save the drawing of the carriage last night, find a good blacksmith to change the wheels according to the drawing, or send you one in a few days."

Shen Zhi thought for a while and said, "I want His Highness to send one."

"Well, I will send someone to deliver it at that time."

Over there, Muying talked with Xiaolian, and only heard Muying dissatisfied that there were too many mosquitoes in the Shen family, and His Highness's mouth was broken.

Shen Zhihe bit his lower lip lightly, looked at Zhu Biao with interesting eyes, and immediately lowered his head.

"Muying is right, the mosquitoes in your house are too powerful."

Shen Zhiwu had a deep meaning and said: "Your Highness is amazing."

Zhu Biao glanced at her and said nothing, but told her not to stay in the wine shop in the middle of the night.

Seeing the figures of Zhu Biao and Mu Ying disappearing into the street, Shen Zhishi also got into the carriage with the account books he had to read every day.

Holding the account books, she calculated the profits and losses of each shop.He said a few words to Xiao Lian next to him: "Today, let's go and see how the white sugar made by those masters is.

In addition, let Shen Guanshi instruct Jiangbei's shop to go into the mountains to harvest some autumn fruits and make them into dried fruits for later use, have you written them down? "

Xiao Lian nodded: "I've made a note, Miss."

"Those shops in the north of the city are suffering a lot of losses, so I have to invite the shopkeepers to Shen's residence, I have something to say."

Xiao Lian pursed her lips and said, "Miss, if you hold the account book all day long, you will scare away my son-in-law in the future."

Does Shen ignore her and continue to look down at the account book, His Highness needs money, he is too tired.

　Guys, please count your votes.
