"It's freezing cold now,"
"How can one travel?"
"Brother, can't we talk to the leader of Liangshan Mountain?"
"Let us..."
"Idiot, don't you understand the situation?"
Song Jiang couldn't help but curse angrily,
"So, Zhao Dalang is coming this time,"
"They're trying to kill me!"
"If you don't want to die, come with me now."
"Mmm, mmm,"
Song Qing then realized the seriousness of the matter.
He hurriedly handed the ledger of Qingfeng Mountain's money and grain to Song Jiang.
"Brother, there are over ten thousand strings of cash on the mountain right now,"
"There are also fifty or sixty thousand strings of gold and silver jewelry."
"As for grain, there are still more than 10,000 shi (a unit of dry measure) left."
"Um,"
Song Jiang nodded.
While looking at the ledger,
As I began to ponder,
How do I take these things with me?
Money is fine.
Two or three large trucks,
Then it can be easily transported down the mountain.
But those grains were difficult to handle.
He had already discussed this with Wu Yong before.
This time, I'll be able to bring some henchmen to Erlong Mountain.
There are only a little over five hundred people in total.
Even if each person carries a bushel of grain,
They can only take away a little over 500 shi (a unit of dry measure) in one trip.
And grain,
But it is an indispensable thing.
It doesn't matter if the money is a little less.
But they couldn't get enough to eat.
Song Jiang dared not guarantee it.
Those lackeys were even willing to go to Erlong Mountain with them.
And if even the basic manpower is not available...
Let alone joining forces with government troops to attack Liangshan next year.
They don't even know how to protect themselves.
Hold onto Erlong Mountain.
I'm afraid that's impossible.
Seeing Song Jiang's worried face,
Song Qing thought about it carefully,
"Brother, I do have a solution."
"any solution?"
Song Jiang didn't even raise his head.
He asked in a rather irritated tone.
For this useless brother,
He had absolutely no hope.
But unexpectedly this time,
Song Qing actually came up with a solution.
"Brother, I was at home before,"
"I once saw a merchant traveling in winter,"
"A number of very special carriages were used to transport goods."
"A special carriage?"
Song Jiang asked in bewilderment,
"What's so special about it?"
"Those carriages didn't have wheels,"
Song Qing began to explain,
"The bottom is fitted with a slightly curved wooden board."
"Those vehicles move on the snow,"
"It's much faster than a car with wheels."
"Didn't we have heavy snow here recently?"
"This kind of car will come in handy."
Is it difficult to build this kind of car?
Song Jiang couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't need to be rebuilt,"
Song Qing shook his head and said,
"As long as we get to the village now,"
"Take all the tires off the carriage,"
"Then just nail the wooden boards on."
"A carriage modified like this,"
"Each vehicle can carry at least thirty or forty shi of grain."
“There are still more than a dozen such large trucks in our village,”
"With some modifications, it can transport at least five or six hundred shi of grain."
"Five or six hundred shi is still a bit too little,"
Song Jiang said with a headache.
It's not good to send troops out in snowy weather.
We can only rely on stored grain.
They brought more than 500 people to Erlong Mountain.
Want to wait until spring,
At least a thousand bushels of grain are needed...
Chapter 1308 Sled
"Brother, why do we have to transport all the grain at once?"
Song Qing reminded him,
"First, we need to figure out a way to get the grain down the mountain,"
"Hide it somewhere, then come back and bring it back later."
"Isn't this okay?"
"What do you think about what will happen after we take money and provisions to Erlong Mountain?"
Song Jiang retorted irritably,
"Gongsun Sheng and the others on Qingfeng Mountain,"
"Will they still let us transport grain back and forth?"
"this......"
Song Qing was immediately stumped by the question.
"Alright, let's do as you said and go modify those carriages first,"
Song Jiang said helplessly,
"Remember, if anyone asks, just say you're repairing these carriages."
"You mustn't tell anyone about our moving of money and grain, understand?"
"Don't worry, brother, I know about these things,"
Song Qing quickly offered his assurance.
...
In the afternoon,
Song Qing then sought out craftsmen from Qingfeng Mountain Village.
They began modifying the horse-drawn carts in the village.
An excuse to the outside world
The task is to repair these carriages.
They simply removed the perfectly good wheels.
Then they nailed on the wooden boards.
What kind of repair is this?
quickly,
This matter then reached the ears of the other two people on Qingfeng Mountain.
Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang, that person,
Although everyone found the carriage repairs strange,
Why remove the wheels?
But because of them before,
I've never seen a sled before.
Therefore, what is the effect of replacing the wooden planks on the carriage?
I don't know anything about it.
Therefore, they didn't dwell on the matter.
On the contrary, it was Hua Rong and Hua Xiaomei's side...
