A huge convoy was entering the camp in the outskirts of Zuocheng, outside the military camp. This was a convoy set out from Xiyang, Huangzhou. After more than a thousand miles of journey, it traveled through mountains and rivers to Zuocheng. Although it was under the banner of the Xiyang Palace, it was subject to inspections when entering the camp.

As the commander of the entire army, King Xiyang has emphasized that military discipline is as great as a mountain, and he must take the lead in abide by it. The military camp lasts for several miles and has more than ten camp gates. Everyone has to "complete the procedures" when entering and leaving each camp gate, and the convoy of the royal palace is no exception.

A large number of carriages lined outside the camp gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to take it lightly. There were three floors inside and outside. After resisting the horse, soldiers stood up to guard the horse and stood up to guard the enemy. The soldiers who came forward to search were divided into three teams, one team was on the periphery, one team searched the vehicles one by one, and the other team was responsible for checking the entourage.

The cars are all four-wheeled carriages. The soldiers used "wheel locks" with chains to lock a certain wheel of each car, and then began to check the vehicle.

The car was loaded with goods, and it was impossible to check each item, so the soldiers could only check it randomly, but the entourage could check it one by one. Not only the coachman, but also the guards of the Xiyang Palace who were accompanying him had to undergo inspection.

Sima Zhang Dingfa, the Sima of the Prince of Xiyang, was used to this. Although the soldiers who came to inspect recognized him, they still asked about the relevant situation and then recorded it in the small notebook for reference.

After a while, Zhang Dingfa and his subordinates passed the inspection, but they were still unable to enter the camp. Although they were part of the guards of the Xiyang Palace, according to regulations, they had to be picked up by the guards of the Xiyang Palace in the camp, which took time.

Zhang Dingfa, who was exhausted, took advantage of this time to chat with the driver, talking about the bearing failure rate.

A four-wheeled carriage has two more wheels than an ordinary carriage, that is, the steering wheel in front. Such a carriage carriage carriage is larger than a two-wheeled carriage, but the failure rate is higher. It is OK if the road is still good. If the road is bumpy, a four-wheeled carriage is more likely to break down than a two-wheeled carriage.

Therefore, four-wheeled carriages are mainly used in Shannan, among which the four-wheeled carriages in Huangzhou are the most common. However, no matter where the four-wheeled carriages are made, they have to face the problem of "prone to failure".

The four-wheeled carriage made in Huangzhou uses roller bearings and a "shock-absorbing leaf spring" made of fine iron, which can effectively reduce the failure rate and ride comfort of the carriage, but the subsequent problem is that the cost soared, which affects the promotion.

To this end, many craftsmen have been busy for many years and have continuously improved and optimized the structure of the four-wheeled carriage, improved roller bearings, shock-absorbing leaf springs, and wheels. With the efforts of countless people, today's four-wheeled carriage (made in Huangzhou) effectively increases the cargo capacity and reduces the cost, while ensuring a low failure rate.

Four-wheeled carriages are becoming more and more popular in Jingxiang, Shannan, while in Huangzhou, it has completely replaced two-wheeled carriages. When it comes to land transportation, whether it is a private caravan, a raft team or a military baggage truck, the shape of the vehicles is all four-wheeled carriages.

This time, Zhang Dingfa led the guards of the royal palace to Huaibei and came to the tent of the palace master Xiyang King to obey the order. He accompanied him with a convoy of forty-three four-wheeled vehicles. The convoy set out from Xiyang until he arrived in Zuocheng, and no car had any major problems.

The big problem refers to the occurrence of faults that cause the vehicle to be unable to drive, such as steering mechanisms, roller bearings, shock-absorbing leaf springs, wheel damage, etc. In addition to the well-made carriage, the necessary maintenance of the vehicle by the coachman during the fleet rest every night is also a guarantee of a low failure rate.

The moving structures including roller bearings must be lubricated with "lubricating oil", and the wear of the wheels must also be checked. Once abnormal damage is found, it means that there is a problem with the corresponding shock absorbing leaf spring and needs to be adjusted in time.

In this way, the cost of using a four-wheeled carriage is higher than that of a two-wheeled carriage, but the advantage is also great, that is, the durability and cargo loading have increased significantly. Based on comprehensive calculations, using a four-wheeled carriage to transport goods for a long distance is profitable than using a two-wheeled carriage to transport goods.

Regardless of civil transportation, there is a reliable four-wheeled carriage in military transportation, and the logistics vehicle can be switched to a chariot formation at any time to protect itself. This is a good means for the logistics team to defend against enemy cavalry attacks.

The four-wheeled vehicles with large load capacity and low failure rate effectively reduce the burden on the soldiers during the march. With a large number of four-wheeled vehicles accompanying each other, the speed of the army's march can steadily ensure a speed of at least forty miles per day.

When you arrive at the campsite, you can even set up a camp bar and directly surround the four-wheeled vehicles into "car cities", which can also defend against attacks of ordinary strength of the enemy.

In addition to transporting supplies, the specially made four-wheeled vehicles are also weapons and can be converted into fortifications at any time. This is a powerful tool for the Huangzhou army, which is mainly infantry.

The reason why Zhang Dingfa is so concerned about the failure rate of the carriage is that "according to research," the places where the carriages have the most failures are, besides shock-absorbing leaf springs, they are bearings. Durable bearings are very easy to sell.

His family has invested in the bearing workshop of Wangfu, and the large-scale promotion of four-wheelers has led to a surge in demand for automotive bearings. There are several automotive bearing workshops in Huangzhou, which have almost been open throughout the year, bringing considerable profits to the owners and shareholders.

Therefore, whenever he watched the sturdy and durable four-wheeled carriages shuttle on the road, Zhang Dingfa seemed to see the rolling wealth into his wallet. Listening to the "dou" sound of the bearing when the wheels rotated, he was as if he heard the sound of copper coins hitting in the wallet.

The sound was so wonderful that it was intoxicating. After Zhang Dingfa and the coachmen learned about the situation, they looked at the large-scale military city outside the military camp and listened to the noise in the military city, and couldn't help but sigh.

The army of King Xiyang won a battle, and the people who followed closely behind could make a big profit. No one could have thought that in addition to war, other people could also benefit from war.

War is profitable for everyone.

After finally entering the camp, Zhang Dingfa was about to meet the head of the mansion, but Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang, learned that the other party had gone to Zuoshan in the northern suburbs of Zuocheng to worship Buddha at Zuoshan Temple on the mountain.

When Zhang Dingfa heard this, his first reaction was: worshiping Buddha? How is this possible!

He knew that the King of Xiyang did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism. The reason why the King of Xiyang sometimes went to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to burn incense was just a show of play, and he usually accompanied his female family members, and there were very few cases of burning incense alone.

So, if it is not profitable, what should King Xiyang go to Zuoshan Temple to do? Could it be that he wants to cut down the mountains and destroy the temple?

......

Zuoshan Temple, the bells sounded far away, and the King of Xiyang, who was wearing casual clothes, was talking to the temple master at this time. The official army mobilized manpower and material resources to repair the Buddhist temple, which had just been renovated, was like a pure land on earth. Yu Wen Wen, a great charity who donated money to repair the temple, was smiling and amiable at this time.

However, the temple master who was talking to him was a little nervous.

Yuwen Wen is not a monster, so of course he will not exude the so-called "monarchy and domineering aura" that makes mortals tremble. The reason why the temple master is walking on thin ice is because of the soldiers brought by Yuwen Wen.

Soldier wearing strong and holding sharp edges.

Footsteps sounded, and two soldiers led a young monk to the main hall. The monk was stuffed with rags and could not speak. He could only struggle "whimper", but this was a useless act.

When the master arrived, Yuwen Wen stopped talking, turned around and looked at the monk who was taken by the soldiers, looked up and down, signaling to pull off the rag from his mouth left and right, and then asked interestingly:
Chapter completed!
