Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

It was still early, and Li Xin took Runniang, Wang Gui, and Zhang Ben Chen Hu out of the house, and went straight to his fief. His fief Lantian County is not far from Chang'an City, only forty miles, with horsepower to help, can be reached in a short time.

In the Tang Dynasty, most men like to ride horses when they go out. Riding horses and whips is the most masculine in the Tang people's aesthetic. Zhang Ben and Chen Hu were like this, each riding a fast horse, galloping on the dirt road outside Chang'an City.

It is said that it is a fast horse, but in fact, the horse in the Tang Dynasty is not the same as the horse in the impression of later generations. The good horses in Li Xin's impression are the tall horses seen in equestrian shows on TV. In fact, most of those race-level horses bred artificially, almost all of them have the blood of Western horses.

The most common native horse breed in China in ancient times should be Mongolian horses. They look a little shorter and don't look as good as a tall horse. However, they have better endurance and low requirements for breeding conditions. Generally speaking, they are easy to feed. Most people in Datang ride this kind of horse.

Of course, you can occasionally see better horses. For example, the legendary Dawan Liangju or the sweaty BMW. The appearance of these horses is very close to the good horses recognized by modern people. They are tall and big, with slender limbs. These horses are basically from the Western Regions and are very precious, almost all concentrated in the hands of the nobles.

The so-called BMW hero, Li Shimin also fought many battles in his early years. He was a serious warrior, so he also liked BMW very much. He collected many good horses in the palace. There are also generals including Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Li Ji and others. Most of their families also have such good horses from the Western Regions. Li Xin also had it at home, but he didn't know how to ride, so he just let it go.

No matter what you think, horse riding is still not suitable for Li Xin. He sat silently in his modified four-wheeled carriage and nodded in satisfaction: It was still comfortable to ride in the car.

Li Xin's original carriage was two-wheeled. In fact, most of the horse-drawn carriages in ancient China were two-wheeled carriages, because the ancients did not seem to figure out a way to solve the steering problem of the four-wheeled carriages, so they could only ride on the two-wheeled carriages. However, the stability of the two-wheeled carriage is very poor, and it can make people doubt life when running. After sitting once before, Li Xin never wanted to sit again.

He originally wanted to solve this problem by adding a shock absorber to the carriage, but he soon discovered that this idea didn't work. Because he didn't have a suitable spring.

The small spring looks simple, but it is actually very complicated and involves a very professional metallurgical process. It's not that if you just forge a piece of steel and roll it into the shape of a spring, it can really spring up. Regardless of whether it is a carbon steel spring or an alloy spring, its material requirements are very high. At least for Datang, which is immature in basic steelmaking technology, the spring is still a high-tech product without compromise.

Therefore, if Li Xinfei had to build a spring to solve the problem of the horse-drawn carriage, first of all, he would have to build the entire steel production line from scratch. This is obviously a huge project.

As a result, he had no choice but to turn the two-wheeled carriage into a four-wheeled carriage. The so-called stability, four wheels are always more stable than two wheels.

In fact, in the long history of China, many people have tried to make horse-drawn carriages, trying to solve the steering problem of the horse-drawn carriages, but unfortunately, they have not been able to come up with a more successful plan.

After all, Li Xin came from later generations and possessed knowledge that the ancients could not master anyway. He knew that the perfect solution to the steering problem of future generations of four-wheelers was the differential. It was troublesome to explain and troublesome to make, so he cut off this plan almost immediately.

In addition to the differential, there is a simpler way to solve the steering problem of the four-wheeled carriage: divide the chassis of the carriage into two sections, the front section is suspended on the horse, with two wheels, and the rear section is seated. Two wheels, connected by a turntable between the front and rear sections.

In this way, the originally bulky one-piece carriage has become two sections. When the horses turn, the front suspension changes direction, which in turn drives the rear section of the carriage to change direction accordingly. It can be said that this is the best plan Li Xin can achieve.

Of course, compared with the differential, this segmented solution still has its flaws-it can't change direction quickly, and the radius required for turning is relatively large. But Li Xin had to ignore this flaw. If he can't change direction quickly, he can run slowly.

The carriage speed is not very fast, but it is still much faster than human feet. Zhang Ben and Chen Hu each rode on a horse, and ran behind the carriage unhurriedly.

Zhang Ben looked at Li Xin's carriage with a novel look, and then said to Chen Hu beside him: "Wang Yejing makes some weird things. The four-wheel carriage can be so handy. I am still the first in my life. See you."

Chen Hu nodded and said, "It also looks very stable. It must be very comfortable to sit on."

Zhang Ben smiled and said: "Forget it, the horse-drawn carriage is still used by the nobleman like the prince. I am used to being rough, so I'll ride the horse honestly, and it's also comfortable to ride my hips.

Chen Hu smiled and nodded.

Li Xin on the carriage could not hear the conversation between the two. He is forcibly enduring the guilt in his heart, enjoying Runniang’s service...Oh, of course, it’s just a thumping leg, don’t think about it, after all, Runniang is only eleven or twelve years old. Li Xin’s child, no matter how the beasts are, they won’t reach this point.

In fact, when Li Xin brought Runniang out, he intended to take her around casually. Unexpectedly, Runniang was very frightened that she could sit in the car with her owner. No matter how much Li Xin persuaded her to sit on the soft cushion, she refused. She had to beat his leg to feel relieved, as if she had reached a fair deal in her heart: she helped Li Xin. Beat her leg, Li Xin let her ride in the car.

Seeing that he couldn't hold on to this Nizi, Li Xin had to let her go.

Don't tell me, little loli beating her leg or something, it feels so cool.

Sins and sins, feudal society is so rotten, it’s worth noting that I, a new generation of good young people who grew up under the red flag, was so defiled, uncomfortable.........really so uncomfortable.... .....

Li Xin thought with a smile.

The carriage did not know how long it ran, but finally came to a halt slowly. Wang Gui, who could only hear sitting in front of the car, said, "Master, we are here."
