"This vehicle can be provided to construction teams and farmers in Fuxian County for transporting goods. Because of its relatively simple structure, it can also be mass-produced."
After that, she designed a heavy vehicle.
If the unicycle is all about skillful maneuvering, then the gravity-powered vehicle is all about exceptionally strong load-bearing capacity.
She now intends to combine the two into one.
She decided on a tricycle because it was lightweight, easy to move, could carry heavy loads, and was suitable for long-distance transport.
Her tricycle is called "Black Bear," and its "hands and feet" are both agile and strong, with "fierce performance."
It employs a power assist mechanism, inside which is a flywheel mechanism. In terms of operation, it uses a gear mechanism and a crank-connecting rod mechanism. When the animal is pulling, the crank-connecting rod mechanism drives the flywheel through the gears. After the flywheel starts running, the vehicle body moves forward due to the inertia of the flywheel, thus reducing the pressure on the animal.
The two-wheeled carriage is connected to the horse by a "shaft". The length of the shaft determines the turning radius of the carriage, making it unsuitable for traveling on narrow mountain roads. In contrast, the three-wheeled carriage has a "steering mechanism" between the front wheels and the rear carriage, which makes it suitable for turning on narrow mountain roads.
Furthermore, this vehicle can be used for multiple purposes. Its carriage can be disassembled, and the frame can be placed on the fork to turn it into a unicycle. Depending on the road conditions, it can be disassembled and reassembled into a unicycle and a two-wheeled vehicle...
Zheng Quchi drew inspiration from some excellent wooden tools she knew, and combined them with her own ideas and concepts. After staying up all night and drinking several large cups of goji berries and red dates, she finally completed the first draft of "Black Bear".
As dawn broke, she had fallen asleep on the table, but was suddenly awakened.
Looking around, one could see that the sunlight was shining directly into the center of the tent, indicating that it was already midday.
She saw the breakfast that had gone cold next to the table, blinked, picked up a cornbread bun and took a bite.
Just as she stretched, she heard someone outside the tent report: "Madam, Mei Ruoling has come to see you. Shall we let her in?"
"Aunt Mei?" She stood up immediately, her eyes shining, and quickly finished eating and swallowing the steamed bun as she hurried out to greet her. "She found the person so quickly? That's amazing!"
Zheng Quchi wiped his mouth, lifted the tent flap, and saw Aunt Mei, whose temperament was as cold as ice, standing in front of the tent. Behind her was a young man with a refined and scholarly demeanor.
Inside the camp, soldiers were stationed everywhere, especially around the main tent. Their faces were cold and stern, and an invisible pressure formed an inviolable barrier.
Mei Ruoling met Zheng Quchi. Although they didn't distinguish between themselves in private, things were different here. Zheng Quchi represented Yuwen Sheng and the face of Changxunpo Camp.
"Mei Ruoling greets the General's wife."
Mei Ruoling greeted him respectfully.
The young man beside her also bowed and said, "Zhang Qinan greets the General's wife."
Zheng Quchi stepped forward to help Mei Ruoling up: "No need for formalities, please come in with me."
Once inside the main tent, where they were no longer surrounded by so many eyes, Zheng Quchi looked at the person named "Zhang Qinan" and asked curiously, "Aunt Mei, is he...?"
Aunt Mei raised her chin and said arrogantly, "That's right, he is Zhang Qinan."
Hmm, Zheng Quchi waited for a long time, thinking that Aunt Mei would introduce the other person a little more, but... "That's it?"
Mei Ruoling was stunned when she heard her ask that and saw her blank expression: "You don't know Zhang Qinan?"
She was baffled: "...He's famous?"
“You really don’t recognize him? Even if you’ve never heard of this name, you don’t even know the surname Zhang? Then you really have no knowledge.” Mei Ruoleng shook her head.
Zheng Quchi (who was ignorant) smiled apologetically at Zhang Qinan on the other end, then pulled Aunt Mei aside and whispered, "Aunt Mei, don't I have any pride? I'm just ignorant. Tell me quickly, who is he and what are his abilities?"
Mei Ruoling asked her, "You must have heard of Nan Zhang and Bei Wei, right?"
I'm sorry, but her "lack of knowledge" far exceeded Aunt Mei's imagination: "...No."
At this point, Mei Ruoling was completely speechless.
"Forget it, I'll just tell you directly. In Ye Kingdom, the south is dominated by businessmen surnamed Zhang who control half the territory. Most of Ye Kingdom's businesses rely on them, and they are the main source of our Ye Kingdom's taxes. In the north, the north is dominated by military officers surnamed Wei. Most of the military officers in the court are either surnamed Wei or related to people with the surname Wei."
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened in astonishment; he had truly learned something new.
She hurriedly asked, "So the Zhang family's people are this capable! Aunt Mei really doesn't hold back until she does, and when she does, she introduces me to such a powerful person. I wonder which shop he works at now, and whether he has completed his apprenticeship?"
What a coincidence! She is currently in dire need of marketing management talent, and he happens to be a professional in this field. She has decided that if the conditions are right, she will hire him at a high salary to be her "strategist"!
"You're such a fool. You seem so shrewd all the time—no, you seem pretty silly all the time. You're only reliable in crucial moments." Mei Ruo tapped her forehead and sighed silently.
How is she considered a "fool"?
Zheng Quchi felt utterly wronged. She rubbed her forehead and asked, "What do you mean?"
Mei Ruoling glared at her: "Zhang Qinan is the eldest son of the main line of the Zhang family. He started doing business with his father when he was thirteen years old. Now, ten years later, he has secured countless orders and negotiated numerous high-value deals. He is already capable of handling things on his own and is now the true young master of the Zhang family business."
