Li Longji's team finally returned to the port in Luzhou, and this time the port did not continue to set up a team to welcome him.

But it seemed very busy, people kept bringing goods to the ship, and from time to time, people carried things from other places to leave, a prosperous scene.[]

The only person who came to greet him was Xu Mingyang, and he didn't even bring any book boys or yamen runners, because the mansion was busy.

This year, it suddenly started raining in Luzhou. It has been heavy rain and moderate rain for five consecutive days. As the water level of the two major rivers gradually rises.

People who have free time are busy staring at the river bank, but they don’t pay much attention to it. I have never heard of heavy rain that will cause the sea water to rise unless it is an earthquake or a typhoon.

There is also rain today. The rain is not very small. It hits the concrete floor on the dock like beans, making a splash of water, and the sky is filled with mist.

When the boat returned, I was also very worried about a storm. As a result, the old men said they didn't look like each other, so they carefully followed the shore, avoided the reefs, and came back in the rain.

Xu Mingyang was already wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat. He didn't hold an umbrella. The umbrella seemed to have no effect in such weather by the beach.

When he saw the emperor's team coming to the dock, Xu Mingyang hurried over. His main purpose was not to find the emperor, but to make a conversation with Xiaobei and others. As long as the other party talked, he would feel at ease.

He didn't believe that he was going to see the other party's mother and the other party didn't know. Now he was sure whether the other party still hated him.

As for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, I think I won’t be able to care about it all. My attitude has been expressed and I apologized. I will leave a line of style when they act. I have not continued to fight, and the time is also timely. I think there will be no big problems.

Sure enough, when Xu Mingyang came up, he was talking to the emperor and looking at Xiao Bei, who was also wearing a special straw raincoat, Xiao Bei glared at him and snorted, "You are smart."

The four words I heard were like the sound of nature in Xu Mingyang’s ears.

After saying hello to Li Longji, he didn't dare to continue following behind. Instead, he came to a stall selling tea at the wharf. He asked for a pot of tea, took two sips before he let out a long breath and completely let go.

"I'm still smart. I know how to advance and retreat. It's more than twice as good as the Ning family. A real man can bend and stretch, and it's not embarrassing at all. He has planned to do it once before, but he reconciled with his intelligence."

Xu Mingyang held a bean that could be eaten in tea in his hand, muttering in a low voice, praising himself.

"I feel very uncomfortable letting him go like this." Xiao Bei walked out far away and said to Li Longji and others while sitting in the car.

The little mouth pouted, looking very dissatisfied, but there was no way. My brothers and sisters said it was OK, but after all, I had to listen to my brothers and sisters.

When Li Longji heard Xiao Bei complaining, he smiled and said, "Can you think you have killed all the people who offended your family? Or even scout the house? If that's true, today someone deliberately offended you, and you kill them. When you kill too many people, someone may not deliberately offend you.

By then, others already know your style of conduct and think you still want to kill others, so they will help you clean up before you speak. Will you clean up the person who takes the initiative to help you?

If you really clean up, it will make people feel that you are moody and difficult to talk to. If you don’t clean up, you will be indulging yourself. When you kill too many people, one day someone accidentally blocks your car and you may not care, and you will directly kill them.

Habits are developed slowly and become more and more serious. Over time, they will lose their minds. Then it will be time for your brothers and sisters to deal with you personally."

"I didn't say I wanted to kill people. Can't I let them eat pickles for a few more days? They have bought rice and noodles by themselves. Even if there are no pickles, they won't go to the beach to cook salt, then catch fish, and make salted fish? Salted fish are eaten with corn flour cakes, and the taste is still good. Unfortunately, my brother doesn't let me eat more, so I'm addicted."

Xiao Bei found a reason for herself, but in fact, she really couldn't do anything to kill her. It was not because she was soft-hearted, but because she had any children born in her mother's belly. It was not good to kill too much, and others said so.

Li Longji smiled and said, "Now you can also let him continue to eat pickles for a few days. He dare not disagree. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

"If you don't try, it's not fun. If your opponent doesn't resist, what are you doing to bully him? It's not the interests of the country. It doesn't mean to bully him to death. I go back to sleep. It's the most comfortable to sleep on a rainy day. I don't want to get up after lying down."

As he spoke, Xiao Bei became sleepy, yawned, his eyes were half-closed, and he looked like he could fall asleep at any time.

Looking at Xiao Bei's appearance, Li Longji seemed to be infected, and then he was also confused and sleepy. Listening to the sound of raindrops outside, it was like a lullaby.

The cold wind blew in from the half-open window, making him feel aware. Suddenly, he remembered what he was thinking about along the way, glared at Zhang Xiaobao and said, "Where is your tractor? The kind you hold it with your hands."

Li Longji actually didn't know what the handheld tractor meant, but he could guess that it must be something converted from the diesel engine of the Ministry of Works.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and the money was poured in like flowing water. Now it was finally time to harvest. What is the hand-held tractor? Why is it called a tractor? Is it a sound?

Since Zhang Xiaobao mentioned it, Li Longji has begun to think about it, hoping that the things made by the Ministry of Works can be applied to military and people's livelihood.

But now that I got off the boat, I was still sitting in the carriage, and I didn't see the tractor that could carry people. I felt angry.

Zhang Xiaobao also squinted his eyes and rested halfway on the wall of the car next to him. He was actually more anxious than Li Longji. Li Longji simply wanted to see something new immediately, but he knew what the appearance of the tractor meant.

This is an advancement of an era. Although it is impossible to mass-produce now, it provides a series of theoretical and practical materials for scientific research. Even if it breaks after a few days of use, it is a great gain.

Anyway, the things are there, and if there is steel, it will be worth it. Even if the money is spent, one day, something better can be formed.

The only pity is that the gasoline engine was clearly the first, but because one aspect was not good, the diesel engine came out first, which was speechless.

It would be great if there were more advanced smelting and forging technologies. This thing is much more convenient than a steam engine. It burns a long time with the same volume as coal. It is also small in size and provides a fast power. The pollution caused... I will ignore the pollution. Can the environmental protection organization still chase after Datang? I will chop it off for him.

"Xiaobao, I'm asking you something." Li Longji saw Zhang Xiaobao leaning there, and his mouth was slightly raised up, but he didn't say anything, stared at him and asked again.

"Ah? Tractor? Okay, I'm waiting for the time being. Now there are many people and eyes. If you see it carefully, it will be unsightly. Your Majesty, I'd better introduce to you the Piaotian Silk Network first. First of all, you need to know what a tractor is. The so-called machine refers to a diesel engine. So towing, it's naturally like a carriage, dragging, and how to drag it..."

Zhang Xiaobao talked to Li Longji in a mess.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Longji interrupted him: "I don't want to hear it. I want to see it. I've seen it with my own eyes. Naturally, I know that the more you say now, the stronger the expectations in my heart. You go to bed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Xiaobao's head leaned against the wall of the car again.

Li Longji sighed and asked in vain just now.

The car was moving forward swayingly. When Li Longji felt sleepy and was about to fall asleep, he actually arrived at the place and seemed very uncomfortable.

"Uncle, isn't it very uncomfortable? I want to sleep but can't?" Xiao Bei looked at Li Longji with sympathy and asked.

"It's uncomfortable, have you ever had such an experience? Don't let you sleep?" Li Longji rubbed his eyes and asked.

"Yes, I was going to sleep, but suddenly something delicious came again. Should I sleep or not? This is a problem. Get off the car and look at the tractor."

Xiao Bei said something he had experienced, so he should jump down first.

"I am so happy that I can choose between eating and sleeping. Sometimes, even if I don't want to eat, I can't sleep with peace of mind. I can see how much things I can drag."

Li Longji sighed for a moment and got off the car as well.

The rain outside did not stop and there was no intention of getting smaller. It was still rushing down. However, Zhang Xiaobao didn't care much and took off his shirt and found the place where the tractor he sent was delivered.

There was someone guarding the tractor next to it, and there was a shed to shelter for rain, just like treating babies.

Zhang Xiaobao also regarded the diesel tractor as a treasure, stretched out his hand and stroked it back and forth on the nose, with gentle movements, as if he was afraid of destroying the diesel engine.

Li Longji and others who arrived later also saw it.

For them, they had never seen the things in front of them, and they all looked curiously.

There are three wheels in the object, which look better than the wheels of a carriage. In front is a large rectangular head, and the most conspicuous one above the head is the "eye". Then there are two things like bicycle handles connected from the bottom, which look like they are connected to the wheel, and should be adjusted.

Behind is a car bucket, made of iron sheet, fixed to the two wheels behind.

The saddle is very high, and I guess people will feel condescending when they sit on it, and there is nothing else. Oh, there is also a big chimney with a "hat" that hides rain.

"This thing is a hand-held tractor that costs countless money and takes countless energy. High-tech talents from the Ministry of Industry have been constantly researching. It is clearly another bicycle. I know what a hand-held tractor is. Hand-held is a hand-held handle on both sides. The connected thread is a car rolling? The tractor is a thing installed at the back and traction at the front. This thing is worth nearly ten million yuan?"

Li Longji looked at the tractor roughly, shook his head, and said to Zhang Xiaobao who was continuing to moan there.

Zhang Xiaobao stopped, took another wet towel, twisted the water, wiped his hands, and replied: "Your Majesty's wiseness, this is exactly this thing."

"Okay, this thing is this thing. You can use it for me. I'll see if it is worth millions of dollars." Li Longji was a little disappointed. The handheld tractor was really not very good, and it was not as elegant as a car.

Zhang Xiaobao took a deep breath and stretched out his hand. The person next to him was stunned for a moment. Then he reacted and handed over an iron stick that was bent back and forth, which was actually the starter handle and the shaker.

Zhang Xiaobao took it and was about to start it up. Wang Juan came over worriedly at this time. She was afraid that Zhang Xiaobao would not start the diesel engine, but instead broke her arm. It looked a bit scary, especially something that had not been scientifically proven in detail.

"Xiaobao, can you... drive that...?" Wang Juan asked worriedly. She wanted to drive the tractor, and then wanted to ride the tractor, so she finally chose to drive.

Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand confidently and said, "No problem, didn't the letter say that our hand-held tractor is powerful, and only needs two gears, one front gear and the other reverse gear. The other is a continuously variable speed, and the hand-calling braking system is used. There are shock-absorbing springs under the seat.

Not to mention anything else, you look at its chimney and find that it is completely different from the kind of car you used to ride. Can your car be passed by one meter deep? This car is enough, do you know?"

"What a mess? When the chimney goes up, do you think you can use it as a submarine? You use the brake system with your hands and feet. Would you say that you can't stop a handbrake? It's a complete thing? The front and rear gears are two, and the continuously variable speed. Yes, because it's too difficult to put more gears, so use the throttle to control it directly. If there is too much oil, you can get faster. If there is less oil, you can stop. If there is no oil, you can stop, right?"

Wang Juan was really worried that Zhang Xiaobao would drive such an advanced thing himself. What if the cylinder suddenly exploded? The explosion of the cylinder was nothing more than a crack or something burned. The car could easily rise directly to the point of explosion.

"Yes, it's yes, we are in the early stages of our business, so we can only deal with it first, but it does not affect our testing and future development. Believe me, there will be a steering wheel and a car air conditioner. Now we can also shape the exhaust pipe in winter, walk next to the driver's seat and turn it into a heating system, but the waterproofing cannot be too high, look at me."

As Zhang Xiaobao said that, he inserted the shaking handle, waved to the person next to him, and signaled him to help pinch the oil supply system, which was the handbrake-like thing in the oil hand position.

Wang Juan took a few steps back and curled his lips: "You think waterproof depends on how high the exhaust pipe is? If that's the case, any tractor factory can build a submarine."

"The tractor factory can build tanks. When I finish testing, it will be just a tank. Then I'll just get a layer of iron sheet outside, oh? Can we change the appearance and make a beautiful cover, such as Mercedes-Benz, who cares what's inside, right? Help me open the pressure relief valve, and I said why can't I shake it."

Zhang Xiaobao was shaking hard and found that he couldn't shake it. Then he remembered that there was something that had not touched. If he could manually add the pressure to make the diesel burn, he would probably become a god.

The people there wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they helped turn on the pressure relief device. Zhang Xiaobao then started to shake it, and the faster he shook it. When he reached a certain level, he suddenly pulled out the handle with his strength.

The diesel engine finally started, and the sound of continuous drum beat was heard in the rain, and black smoke also popped up from it.

Success is really easy. How could it be so easy to start your own car before? You have to open the door and get in, close the door or something.

As everyone looked at him, Zhang Xiaobao turned over to the car, one hand and one hand, loosened the clutch and one accelerator, and left.

Then everyone saw the handheld tractor shouting happily, moving forward one after another.

Fortunately, the road conditions here are good, and it is used to dry the grain for people. It is a big place. Now, xxx is coming, and outsiders don’t let you enter. Zhang Xiaobao can squat the car hard, press the accelerator to the end, 30 kilometers.

The speed of the hour is too easy to reach, even if there is no problem for people who load a truck.

Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao driving a tractor around the field, and seemed suspicious. Didn’t Xiaobao just say that there was shock absorption, why is it still bumping up and down?

"The smoke is too thick, and it will smoke people when it is heading against the wind. What's the reason?" Li Longji turned his head and asked Wang Juan.

"It's because of oil. We have a model of diesel, and the ones that are extracted each time seem to be different. We need to look at what crude oil is like. It's okay. The small problem is now mainly to look at how long the diesel engine can last."

Wang Juan felt helpless about the development of technology again.

Li Longji nodded in understanding and said, "It's okay, it's really not possible. Wear a mask and wear a few more layers. Otherwise, it's the gas mask with charcoal inside. I guess I can last for a long time and not be smoky."

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care about this cigarette, it can be seen, and it feels uncomfortable when he sucks it in his stomach. Many invisible cigarettes used to be more harmful. We Chinese people are very responsible for their health. Eat some toxic things, drink some toxic things, use some toxic things, and breathe some toxic things, so as to realize the dream of a strong people and a strong country.
