Chapter 219
The Taifu rubbed his old waist that was aching from sitting in the carriage all the time, and said with a painful face: "Mingzhu, it would be great if we could take a truck!"

"Teacher, it's not that I don't want to drive, but that I don't know the way to the capital. If we can't cross the river, we can only change carriages. Moreover, because we use solar energy, we can only charge it during the day. , Driving at night is actually quite inconvenient.” Xie Mingzhu expressed her real concerns helplessly, “We still need to repair the road, and when the road is repaired, we can also drive trucks when we travel in the future.”

In fact, it is true, Taifu's experience is very obvious.

When the carriage was on the cement road before, it was very stable, but after passing the cement road, even if it was an official road, it was very inconvenient for the carriage to drive.

Not to mention the big bumps, sometimes the carriage is easy to get stuck in the mud and has to be pushed to drive normally.

"Pearl."

Xie Mingzhu looked at Taifu, Taifu waved his hand, and said softly: "Mingzhu, I don't know when this road will be repaired? Your pickup trucks use gasoline in addition to electricity. We can't use them here. Gasoline?"

"Teacher, if you use gasoline, you can do it, but where does the oil come from?" Xie Mingzhu said very calmly: "I personally think that using oil is not as clean and convenient as using electricity."

Taifu thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason.

If you run out of oil, you have to mine it.

They don't have machines, and they don't know how to extract oil.

The Taifu knew better than anyone else that if they had to rely on Xie Mingzhu all the time, their development would only be like a loft in the sky, without a suitable foundation, a change would only make the situation worse.

But what if, step by step, they slowly develop their branches.

In this way, the branches that develop will not disappear easily like castles in the air, like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.

"We develop slowly, not in a hurry."

Tai Fuji still felt very anxious. He was at this age, and he didn't know how long he would live, whether he would see his children own their own cars.

"Teacher, first of all, everyone must have enough food, clothing, and education. Only when they are rich, will people pay taxes, and the treasury is full, and then they will have money to do scientific research."

Taifu asked again, "Mingzhu, besides sweet potatoes, what else can you eat to fill your stomach?"

"Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are all easy to feed, and the starch content is particularly high." Xie Mingzhu thought for a while, "However, as long as we distribute the high-quality seeds to the hands of the people, the people will grow their own food and gradually harvest. It will get better."

High-quality seeds, at least, can guarantee that the yield will be higher than that of ordinary old-fashioned seeds in the same climate.

"Mingzhu, you are right."

The Taifu really felt that riding in a carriage was very tiring, and he had no chance to catch his breath after traveling day and night.

Xie Mingzhu just felt that the journey was very smooth, did not encounter any bandits, and did not encounter any strange things.

Xie Mingzhu didn't know that all of this was arranged by the Taifu.

There are many things in the carriage's convoy, these are priceless things, he will never allow anyone to play with these things.

Therefore, as soon as the carriage started, someone cleared the way ahead and cleared away all obstacles.

From Xiejia Village to the capital city, if you really look at it from the map, the distance is not too far. If you put it in modern times, it takes only 3 hours to get there by plane.

But at this time, the transportation here is inconvenient, not to mention airplanes, high-speed trains, or expressways.

The speed of the carriage was even slower, and when it was about to reach the capital, the results of Qin Che and others taking part in the government examination in Shu County came out.

Qin Che and others, a total of five people took the exam.

However, apart from Qin Che who ranked first, Xie Zhiren, the youngest, just got the qualification for the Beijing Examination with the second-to-last result.

Xie Mingyu looked at the red list, her name was just a little bit above Xie Zhiren, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

He thought, he is really not suitable for studying, even Xie Zhiren did so well in the exam.

But... Everyone didn't have the heart to worry about Xie Mingyu's emotions. After the government examination was over, they had to pack their things and go to the capital.

The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and no one knows what will be encountered on the road. Start early to avoid accidents due to rushing, or miss the Beijing test because you fail to arrive at the capital within the stipulated time.

The Beijing test is just around the corner, and Qin Che and others have also set off for the capital with the caravan from Shu County to the capital!
On the other side, Xie Mingzhu and others also arrived at a post station only 30 kilometers away from the capital.

After several days of rushing, the two little girls Xie Zhiqin and Xie Zhiqi were like eggplants beaten by Shuang, listless and without any energy.

"Little aunt, how long will it take for us to arrive in the capital?"

Xie Zhiqin asked Xie Mingzhu in a childlike voice, Xie Mingzhu reached out and touched Xie Zhiqin's head, and said warmly: "We will arrive tomorrow, and we will rest here for the night. We will leave early tomorrow morning, and we will arrive in the second half of the day."

Xie Zhiqi asked, "Little aunt, will my father also come to the capital?"

"Will do."

At the beginning, Liu Guizhi was still sitting in the carriage with the children.

But gradually, Liu Guizhi couldn't sit still anymore, so he simply got on the horse and cleared the way ahead.

For example, Xie Zhiqi and Xie Zhiqin sat in the carriage for a long time and couldn't sit still. Liu Guizhi would also ride the horse with the children in his arms.

Among other things, Xie Zhiqin and Xie Zhiqi are good at riding horses, but because they are still children, the horses that pull the carriage are all grown-up horses, if they want to ride a horse, they have to ride a pony.

"Little aunt, can we have a good sleep at night?"

"of course can."

The closer to the capital city, the bigger the post station, and relatively speaking, the more messy the staff.

A group of horse-drawn carriages like Xie Mingzhu had just arrived at the post station, and they attracted the attention of countless people.

Although Xie Mingzhu and the others didn't dress like they looked wealthy, but because they were all quite clean, even if they were dusty, they couldn't make their faces look ashamed.

In addition, Xie Mingzhu is now thinner, and the originally chubby facial features have become more refined and three-dimensional, which naturally attracted other people in the post station to follow and watch.

The Taifu frowned slightly, looking at these wolf-like eyes, he couldn't help but said worriedly: "Mingzhu, I always feel that tonight may not be peaceful."

"Then shall we continue on our way?"

Xie Mingzhu also felt the gazes of countless people, both malicious and curious, which also put her spirit in a state of high tension. She was not afraid of them causing trouble, but she was worried that she would bring the Don't get robbed of the sweet potatoes in the carriage.
