Chapter 34

As soon as Chang Xile returned to the village, he went to talk to Li Zheng about it. Li stood up excitedly on the spot, and said hello three times in a row, but he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face. These days, he is so anxious about the autumn tax that his mouth is blistering, and now he can solve most of it, and he can be regarded as relieved. Although it is only for a while, it also gives everyone a buffer time.

"Although I haven't said exactly how much grain I will collect, I went to inquire and the account office gave me an approximate figure. This, combined with the wages of the past few months, can help the people of Taoyuan Village survive this crisis, but if you want to take care of other villages, you can't. ”

Li Zheng suddenly calmed down when he heard this, and sighed deeply, "This is also something that can't be done, and we are also too busy to take care of ourselves now." If you hadn't begged for it, our village wouldn't have done such a good thing. I know that you must be unhappy because of those gossips, and I have ordered someone to say it, but there are always some people who can't control their mouths. You don't have to take it too seriously, just have a clear conscience, and don't put everything on your shoulders. ”

Chang Xile didn't bother with such a trivial matter, he did this qiē just out of wanting to repay his original body and live a better life in this village in the future. But he knew that even if he explained, no one would believe him.

"I know. When the adults report the amount of food they need, the matter of how each family will distribute it will be handled by you, uncle. I think that when the time comes, we will send the white rice directly, although it will take a little more effort, but we can also be a good person. After all, this matter is completely an adult's sympathy for us, and it must have caused him a lot of trouble. ”

The rice sold in the rice grain store here is all rice that has not been licked, and you have to go home to cook the rice and remove the husk. The same is true of the rice and grain sent by the imperial court, and the same is true of the collection of taxes.

Li Zheng was slightly stunned, because of his mindset, he didn't think about doing this at all.

Rice making is not a light job, this is undoubtedly also for the convenience of Qincha, another form of reducing the price of rice grain. But labor in this world is worthless, and even if it takes a little effort, it is better than not selling food.

"Or do you think about it thoroughly, and do it. Adults have given us such great convenience, and we can't suffer it in vain. ”

"After the autumn harvest, if the people in our village have spare strong men, they should all dig rivers. If there are enough people, maybe they can really tell the adults that they can bring their own dry food, and the court will subsidize the silver. In this way, some of the grain can be sold indirectly, so that the big guy also has a chance to breathe. Besides, there is less work after the autumn harvest, and going there to earn some money can also lay a good foundation for spring taxes. ”

"I'll discuss this with the others at that time, can this news get out?"

"Of course, the more mysterious it is, the better, but it's best not to let others know that we spread it."

Li Zheng didn't quite understand, "What kind of statement is this?" ”

The corners of Chang Xile's mouth turned upward, "Isn't the Qian family just relying on people's hearts to keep lowering prices now, if everyone knows that there are other ways to retreat, how can they be in a hurry to sell the things in their hands cheaply?" And the Qian family has been spreading these news for a while, and I think that while inciting everyone, I am afraid that I am also in a hurry to collect it. Otherwise, why not wait until after the autumn harvest, when the autumn tax will be collected, and everyone will not have time to prepare money, wouldn't they want to sell how to sell more?

Even if it is just to make it more convenient for him to act at that time, but since he has already gotten this news and knows that our county can only sell grain from him, he will definitely prepare early. The grain he collects is to be sold, and he must have found a seller in advance to prevent the hoarding of goods. Therefore, we must not only be anxious, but also make him anxious. ”

Li Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his thighs violently, "That's right! Why didn't I think of this stubble, I thought that we were in a hurry to sell it, forgetting that he didn't buy it for his own food, but also to sell! Although I have never done business, I also know that these of them who do big business are not short of money, so they remember to come to a business, and they have all contacted the buyers and sellers in advance, one by one. ”

"Yes, that's right. Their Qian family relied on a merchant family, and in order to ensure the circulation of money, they must have to make a good deal in advance. I chatted with the account office today, didn't he come from other places, he said that the price of rice in the house is much higher than that of our Daoxiang County, and the price of rice in Beijing is even more outrageous, it is all doubled. One of the reasons why the imperial court wanted to build this canal was to transfer rice and grain from the south to the north. If the Qian family wants to make more money, they have to compress the circulation time of goods. ”

Li Zheng's eyes widened, few people in Taoyuan Village had never left Taoyuan County, and some people had never even been to the county seat in their lives, so they didn't know much about the situation outside.

"It's so expensive!"

"The Qian family is doing this differential business, although the cost of transportation is not low, but the price of the grain he collects from us is lower. My second brother didn't ask those outsiders, and they all said that they had never seen anything lower than ours. And the cloth is even more, although our cloth has no patterns, and there is no dyeing or anything, but the raw material weaver is good, and it is very comfortable to wear on the body, so this kind of cloth sells very well outside, and the price is not low. ”

Li Zheng was furious when he heard this, the Qian family can devalue the cloth they have here during this time, especially when comparing the cloth outside, it is even more difficult to make a fuss.

"The Qian family who killed this day will fool people!"

"It's not a good thing, isn't that what an exclusive business is? But now, we can pick up on the momentum of Lord Chin Cha and shake him up. Let him not think that we all have to rely on him, let him be afraid. Chang Xile muttered a few more words in Li Zheng's ear, and Li Zheng's eyes were about to pop out.

"This, this ......"

Li Zheng didn't know how to speak.,How did Chang Xile become ghostly after getting sick.,I haven't found so many ghost ideas before.,Sometimes I even feel like reading a little wooden.,The whole person is too honest.,I didn't expect the bad water to be hidden in the stomach.。

Chang Xile Li Zheng just smiled, "Li Zheng, we can't do it, we can't let the Qian family take up all the hard work of our peasant family for a year, right?" The soldiers are not tired of deceit, this is called treating others in the way of others, if he is allowed to succeed, I am afraid that he will be more arrogant in the future. Li Zheng doesn't think I'm too unkind to do this, right? ”

Li Zheng came back to his senses at this time, "How can it, it's obviously their Qian family who is not kind!" I'm just worried that if the Qian family doesn't take the bait, what will happen if everyone can't get off at that time? ”

Chang Xile said cautiously: "If you want to say that this matter should not be decided by us, our village has Lord Qincha to collect grain, and there is basically no need to worry about the autumn tax." In this way, it is just that people from other villages are also being oppressed by the Qian family, and the Qian family is proud. After all, many of us in our village are in-laws with outsiders, and they are all relatives, so they want to help. But it's not up to us to decide whether they like it or not, we can only start at the beginning, and it's their business how we want to pass it on, and we can't do everything for them.

This is true or false, even if the Qian family does not take the bait, they will be afraid and dare not push the price too hard. Moreover, the county magistrate will also take advantage of this to know that Lord Qincha is staring at it, and it is expected that the Qian family will not be allowed to go too far. ”

Li Zheng pondered for a moment, "This is indeed the reason. Cheng, I probably know what you are thinking, you don't have to worry about these things, I will discuss with the people in other villages to see what kind of charter it is. When the time comes, whether it is credit or mallet, it will be counted on my head. No matter what, you are a showman, the important thing is this reputation, you should not know these things, don't get your hands dirty.

Chang Xile understands Li Zheng's good intentions, after all, this is a gamble, there are losses and wins, and it is indeed not very kind, Li Zheng is also thinking about him.

"Then there's Uncle Laurie."

Li Zheng waved his hand, "What are you polite to your uncle, besides, you are all for the sake of the big guy, if it happens, then I have nothing to do with you." I want to take the credit, how can I not take some risks. ”

Not long after, a news spread throughout Taoyuan County that the grain from the river digging site was directly collected locally, and in the future, the people who went to work there within the quota would have to bring their own dry food, and the imperial court would subsidize the silver. I don't know where this news came from, but it quickly spread. The frowning brows of the peasants who were originally worried were suddenly relaxed, and all those who were in a hurry to sign a grain sales contract with the Qian family temporarily changed their minds and wanted to wait and see what would happen.

Originally, when this news first spread, there were still many people who didn't believe it, after all, there was no such statement before, and there was another wave of news that the grain on the construction site was not decided by the Qincha, but directly issued by the imperial court. Unexpectedly, Qincha sent someone to Taoyuan Village to collect grain, and agreed to send the grain after the autumn harvest, and the price was a little higher than usual.

At this time, the people who had made up their minds to sell the grain to the Qian family were not in a hurry to sign the contract, and they were all annoyed and unwilling to sign the contract. Many people want to break the contract, but they have to pay compensation for breaking the contract, so they can only give up. However, because of such a trouble, more people are convinced that the Qincha side will collect grain, and they are less and less anxious to sell the grain to the Qian family, all of them have a wait-and-see attitude.

Not only that, Taoyuan Village also came to a small trader who collected cloth, who was very satisfied with the cloth in Daoxiang County, and took away the cloth at a price of more than 50% more than the Qian family. It's just that you don't get much at one time, but the price is very real.

Not long after, there were rumors in other villages that small traders from other places came to the village to collect rice, grain, cloth, etc., although they didn't ask for much at a time, but the price was good, and they said that they wanted to do business for a long time.

These news spread vigorously, and many people went to Taoyuan Village to inquire about the news.

Taoyuan Village is a unified caliber to the outside world, and the grain is indeed booked by Qincha, and this year's tax is not worried, and the cloth is indeed sold part, but the vendor does not want much at a time, but it is said that he will come often in the future. They are not in a hurry to sell the cloth they have hoarded, and now it is very profitable to dig the river, and when the time comes, the men in the family plan to dig the river after the autumn harvest, and the women will do farm work at home, so they will have no time to weave, so they can slowly wait for the small traders to buy the cloth in their hands at a little bit of high price.

Everyone thinks it makes sense when they hear this, anyway, the cloth can't be sold for any price, and the price of rice and grain is very kind, but it is better for the strong men in the family to dig the river, and it is more practical for women to do farm work at home. I don't have to worry about hoarding cloth in my hand, this thing is not afraid of being damaged, and I can wait until the small trader collects what he has on hand, which is not much more cost-effective than selling it to the Qian family.

The originally lively Qian family's shop suddenly became deserted, and few people came to sell grain and cloth for a day.

Now, the Qian family is in a hurry.

The Qian family did get the news of the tax reform as Chang Xile expected, and immediately knew that there was a lot to be done. I had already found a buyer, and I planned to keep the price of the cloth and grain collected to the lowest at that time, and then sell it at a high price. At that time, not only could he make a lot of money, but also consolidated his position in Daoxiang County, who would dare to provoke him at that time? As long as he grabbed their money bags, he would immediately obey.

I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect such a change!

The Qian family couldn't understand why Lord Qincha had never interfered in local affairs, so why did he suddenly think about collecting grain locally?

The Qian family wanted to send someone to inquire, but Qin Cha didn't even see the county order, let alone others. Qian went in to find the county order, and lost a bunch of money but didn't get a definite answer. I only know that the number of people who voluntarily dig the river far exceeds the original budget, so there is no hurry to collect food for a while. In this way, there is a high risk that it will develop into the situation described in the rumors.

This news has been spread all over the world for a long time, and it has no value at all!

The Qian family had no source, and the result of inquiring from outside was similar, and they gradually began to be unable to sit still.

For several days, no one from the Qian family came to sell the cloth in their hands, and no one was in such a hurry to make a contract to sell the grain after the autumn harvest to the Qian family. That's not all, the digging side of the river is paid again, and there is no one missing, so that part of the tax money can be offset, so that the farmers are more confident.

In this world, the peasant households often do things in the village, and whenever there is any movement in the village, it is basically a collective action, and only a few unsociable people will make trouble, but this situation is very rare. Most of the villages, no matter how noisy they were internally, were united externally. The farmers showed no signs of selling grain, and there was unfavorable news from the construction site, and the county order hinted that the autumn harvest should not be done too much.

Although the strong dragon can't overwhelm the head snake on the ground, but the Qin Cha is from the capital, and the sky can reach the sky, since they have all intervened now, this is a warning to the local officials. Although the county magistrate was greedy, he was also very careful, knowing that if he did too much, the black gauze hat on his head would be gone. So the attitude changed, openly and secretly the Qian family should not go too far, they would almost have it, otherwise he would not protect them if something happened.

Under several pressures, the Qian family became more and more unable to sit still.

"Brother-in-law, what can I do? If we don't get the cloth and food, we'll lose a lot of money! Shopkeeper Wu wiped his sweat and looked anxious, if the Qian family's business lost money, although it would not move the foundation, it would also be a great loss.

Qian Jin walked around the house, and the fire in his heart couldn't be suppressed. He is used to being powerful in Daoxiang County, and he has always been up to him, but he didn't expect that he would almost fall on his own turf now.

"Let's wait! If those mud-legged people don't sell grain, where will they get the money to pay the autumn tax? When the time comes, you can't sell it to me obediently, even if you bring your own dry food to dig the river, how much can you do at that time? Autumn tax can't wait! ”

Shopkeeper Wu was about to cry, "My brother-in-law, if there is no Qincha from Beijing, we really don't have to worry." But here's someone, this situation is different, we can't force it for this breath. ”

It is true that the imperial court promulgated the tax reform, but it is not so arrogant and changeable, but it is more flexible, and there is a buffer time in the middle. That is to say, it is not only possible to pay money and pay taxes, but also to pay taxes in kind, so as not to cause turmoil due to sudden changes in mode.

Daoxiang County also has its own reasons for daring to cut one-size-fits-all, which is because of the inconvenience of transportation and the high cost. But after all, this is still a deviation from the regulations, and if it is really poked out, it will not be appropriate after all. The county order is not afraid of the local people poking it out, but he is afraid that Qin Cha has ideas in his heart.

I don't know where the money goes in, but I am unwilling to raise the price, so I will make a lot less money!

Shopkeeper Wu didn't know what he was thinking, and persuaded: "Brother-in-law, you say I'm confused on weekdays, but I see how you are more confused than me in this matter." The river is not to be dug all the time, and this group of rural villagers can still rely on it? Let's suffer a little loss this time, which can be regarded as giving face to Lord Qincha, but as long as he leaves, those mud legs will not be allowed to be manipulated by us? ”

Qian Jin's tone calmed down when he heard this, how did he not know this truth, but when he heard that there was nothing going on in Taoyuan Village, and his life was getting better and better, he couldn't hold his breath in his heart. He remembered the humiliation he was in Taoyuan Village that day, if it weren't for the trouble of his son who poured * soup in his own generation, he would have been unhappy with those mud legs in Taoyuan Village.

"Count them lucky this time! Let's put the price back, let's make sure that the grain can be recovered, and this business must not be delayed. In the future, there will be a chance to clean up these mud legs! ”

The price of grain and cloth gradually returned to its original level after a battle without gunpowder, and at this time, the unexpected village of Taoyuan Village no longer had the wait-and-see attitude as before, and made contracts with the Qian family one after another. Some things are almost done, but if they are really the bar, it will only be them who will suffer.

After Chang Xile's reminder, Taoyuan Village is letting people in other villages have to twist into a rope when selling grain, no longer trading with the Qian family on an individual basis, but on a village basis, and if they want to collect it, they have to collect it from one village, or they will collect it at all. People from other villages listened to the persuasion, and many villages even joined forces to negotiate together, which also formed a threat to the Qian family, and they did not dare to reduce the price excessively.

The autumn harvest is finally here, and it is the busiest and most exciting day for farmers. Many of the people on the construction site came back to harvest and waited for the autumn harvest to go to work.

The business of the Chang family has not been interrupted because of this, but only one person from the big house and the fourth room has to set up a stall, and the third room is still Chang Xisheng's two people. Because there are fewer people on the autumn harvest site, business will be much worse. Therefore, although the reduction in manpower will be very busy, it will not be too busy.

The Chang family gathers together during the autumn harvest, and the family helps to harvest it, and the advantage of the large family population is also reflected at this time. Although the people with a small population will also have other villagers to help, but they are all after their own work is done, and they must take care of their own family first, after all, it is not so convenient, and the autumn harvest is a race against time. If you don't have a good relationship with people, then there is no one to help you at all, and you are isolated, and the importance of interpersonal relationships is also reflected at this time.

At the time of the autumn harvest, everyone gets up early and is greedy for darkness, even Chang Xile is no exception. Although he didn't have to do farm work, he couldn't do this job well, but he had to get some food. The Chang family has four fewer laborers, and they are busier than in previous years, so they can't take care of so much. In addition, Chang Xi often did this thing during this time, and everyone gradually got used to it.

At the time of the autumn harvest, the peasant family, who originally only ate two meals, would become three meals to ensure the body.

Chang Xile finished the meal, and led Chang Yu and a few small ones to the ground carrying heavy bamboo baskets, although it was not the first day to deliver food, it still attracted everyone's attention. It just so happened that at this time, everyone began to rest, and they all saw him.

"Chang Xiucai, how can I bother you to do this kind of thing." Someone saw him and sighed, although the Chang family is basically used to it, others still can't. Everyone thinks that Chang Xile is a character like Wenqu Xing, how can he do such a rough job. Even if Chang Xile no longer goes to the scientific examination now, he is a showman, like other showmen, where would he bother to do such a thing.

Chang Xile because he has worked very little since he was a child, and he looks more delicate and tender than ordinary farmers, and his bearing is unusual, and everyone thinks it is strange to see him wearing a short shirt and carrying a bamboo basket in the field.

Chang Xile smiled: "I can't do it, even if I take the top prize and become the prime minister, I will be born with mud legs." Besides, it's much easier for me than you, but it's just a gesture. ”

The Chang family tacitly did not talk about Chang Xile's spoon, and they all subconsciously felt that this matter would affect Chang Xile's image.

"If you want me to say, it's good for Chang Xiucai to be an official like this, knowing the suffering of our people, so that he won't mess around." There are old people.

But as soon as the words came out, he was secretly pushed, which pot is really not opened, isn't this poking people's hearts.

The old man sneered, he couldn't keep his mouth shut when he was old, but he didn't know where to start if he wanted to apologize.

Chang Xile didn't care, greeted the big guys one by one with a smile, and continued to walk in Chang's field with the basket.

Chang Xiwang saw Chang Xile and a group of people from afar, and immediately put down the work at hand and ran over, and Chang Xiwang scolded directly behind him.

"You calf, throw your scythe and run away! What if someone doesn't pay attention to stepping on it for a while, you haven't eaten in a few lifetimes, and you run away when you see food! ”

There were also people in several other rooms here, and when they heard Daddy Chang scolding the child like this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Although Chang Xiwang is not a small boss, he doesn't feel ashamed, but shouts loudly, "I don't believe you didn't think about what to eat today, don't pretend to be like that, come over quickly, don't rely on me again when it's gone." ”

Uncle Chang beckoned: "Let's stop first, eat and rest for a while before continuing." ”

Now the big guys stopped what they were doing, and they couldn't help beating their waists when they stood up straight. When I was cutting the rice, I had to bend all the time, but now I can't stand up straight. It's only been two days since I've been busy, and a group of people are already a lot darker than before. Although it is autumn now, the autumn tiger is the most sunny. However, the big guys would rather be molted by the autumn tiger than dare to rain now, otherwise this year's hard work will be in vain.

"What's delicious today?"

"Whatever it is, it must have tasted good. After so many years of harvesting paddy, it is the first time I feel so happy. I just waited for such a meal every day, and I felt that it was worth it to be tired. ”

"But isn't it, thanks to joy, our family can have a solid year this year." Chang Erbo sighed sincerely, and others also echoed.

I don't know how many times I've said these words, but no one gets bored.

Chang Xile just smiled, "Good days are still ahead, we will have a better life in the future." ”

Uncle Chang said: "If others say this, I still don't believe it, but if this comes out of the mouth of joy, then it must not be faked." In previous years, who dared to think of such a day! ”

A group of people praised while opening the bamboo basket and setting up the meal, although the other families would eat something at noon, but most of them were finished with a few vegetable cakes, and they were like this in the past. But now it's different, I eat well at noon, and I work very hard in the afternoon.

As soon as the meal was laid out, the big guy couldn't help but start to swallow.

Vermicelli stewed cabbage meat pieces, taro button pork, cold salad Houttuynia cordata, Lei Gonggen meat foam soup and cold noodles for relieving the heat, and the staple food is rice dumplings!

The stewed cabbage and meat pieces with vermicelli are greedy for convenience, and they are stewed directly in a pot, with meat and vegetarian dishes, which are particularly good for rice. The highlight of taro buckle meat is a large piece of meat, taro can also satisfy hunger, dry weight * force consumption is large, such food can provide enough calories. And the cold salad houttuynia and Lei Gonggen meat foam soup are both refreshing things, and the autumn is dry and hot, and eating some of these is not afraid of getting hot.

Although Lei Gonggen grows on the side of the road like weeds, the effect is not ordinary, and it can also prolong life, chopped into minced pieces and cooked with meat foam to cook soup, which is very refreshing and delicious. It seems that it can lower the fire all at once, and it is more effective than herbal tea. Not to mention, Houttuynia cordata is cold, so you will feel special when you chew it, especially if you put some dogwood sauce, it will be even more delicious. After eating, there is a bowl of cold powder with brown sugar and ice with spring water, and the whole person is called cold.

"Hey, hey, what I eat every day is like the New Year!" Aunt Ma sighed in admiration.

"I'm used to eating this meal, won't what I eat when I go home in the future become pig food?"

"You are embarrassed to say that a mother-in-law's cooking skills are poor like this, and you don't feel ashamed." Fourth Uncle Chang snorted coldly, and poured it into his mouth violently, and the posture was violent.

At this moment, a group of women's army was blown up, and Aunt Ma sprayed directly: "Fourth, what's the matter, your mother-in-law can't be found when she is not here?" See how I ask her to clean you up when she comes back tonight, and you have to get to your knees on the washboard. ”

Aunt Zhou was not to be outdone, "I don't like our craftsmanship, I can remember this, next time you dare to come to my house to eat and drink, see that I don't break your legs!" ”

Grandma Sun also said: "I said that the fourth child couldn't sit still when he came to our house before, it turned out that he disliked our craftsmanship." ”

The other daughters-in-law didn't dare to make such a joke, so they all covered their mouths and laughed. Uncle Chang's group of people didn't help, and they all watched and ate Uncle Chang's jokes.

At first glance, these words sounded like they were going to quarrel, but in fact, only the family knew that this was a trick, which was generally when the farm was busy, and they would like to do it when they were particularly tired. It's like that, and it's as if you'll be able to get over. No matter what you say, everyone won't take it to heart, but it's rare to say something out of tune without a long eye.

Chang Xiwang said with a smile: "The eldest aunt, the second aunt and the mother, you have to eat quickly, the fourth uncle deliberately provoked you, you see how many pieces of buckle meat he ate while you were talking." ”

"Hey, really! These four are all grandfathers, why are they still so greedy! Don't be afraid of small jokes! ”

Fourth Uncle Chang said proudly: "Whoever let you old ladies remember to say that you don't remember to eat, can you blame me." ”

A few old men and old ladies who were over half a hundred years old were arguing like children, causing a group of people to lean forward and lean back with laughter. Even the elders in the family are like this, not to mention the younger generations.

The big guy finished his lunch in the bustle, rested for a while, and then continued to work in the field. At this time, the children will not run around, carrying small baskets to pick up fallen ears of rice in the rice fields. Even the youngest Niuniu was held by Zao'er and picked up ears of rice in the field.

Chang Xile led Chang Yu home directly, not because he was afraid of the sun or anything else, but because he had more important things to do now.

When preparing for the autumn harvest, Chang Xile realized how to thresh and scoop rice here, and the technique was very backward.

The rice threshing here is done using the 'wheezing' method, in which the rice harvester holds a small bundle of rice in his hand and beats it on a stone to let the rice fall off on a bamboo mat that has been laid out in advance. In this way, the grains that fall off will fall on the mat to avoid being contaminated by the soil, and it can also reduce the loss and it is more convenient to sweep and collect, and this bamboo mat can also be used to dry the grain.

On the other hand, rice is put into a stone bucket dug with stones like a medicine pot, and then smashed with a mallet. The better thing in the house is to make a seesaw-like thing, with a wooden stake at one end, a stone bucket underneath, and a person stepping on the other end, smashing it to break away from the husk of the rice.

Whether it is detached or licked, it is very time-consuming and laborious.

If you want to make the life of the villagers of Taoyuan Village better, you must reduce their work and replace them with tools as much as possible, so that they can have the energy to make some goods with added value. Primary products can only solve the most basic needs, and further processing is necessary to obtain greater profits.

It's just that Chang Xile didn't learn agricultural machinery in his previous life, so he can't be like Tinker Bell, he can make whatever he wants. Fortunately, because of his illness, he couldn't go out, and he read a lot of miscellaneous books, and although he didn't delve into it, he knew the principles of many things, so he didn't know nothing. It's just that he can only ponder those memories little by little, to see if he can make the required farm tools.

But it's easy to say, but it's very difficult to really get started, not only to use your brain, but also to spend money.

Chang Xile wanted to immediately conjure up a foot-operated vertical agitator, but although he knew that the key was to set up the agitator blades in the agitator barrel, and use external force to drive the rotation of the agitator blades to comb and impact the rice ears to achieve the effect of threshing. But it is not easy to realize this idea. He only has a superficial impression of how the whole machine is structured, which is still thanks to the fact that he likes to disassemble machinery since he was a child, otherwise he is really confused. But even so, at his current level, it must be designed to be made, which is by no means a one-time effort, and I am afraid that it will have to be studied for a long time.

So he was not in a hurry to focus on renovating farm tools, because he knew that he would definitely not be able to build them in a few years, and he would need financial support. Although it was a coincidence to do business on the construction site, even if there was no place, he would think of other businesses to save the emergency.

The more modern foot-operated threshers cannot be manufactured, but the threshing tools that are more advanced than Taoyuan Village are currently a little eyebrow-raising, that is, the rice beds that began to be more popular in the Ming Dynasty.

The principle is similar to that of rice cracking, except that the beating on the stone has been changed to a special rice bed.

In addition to cooking, Chang Xile is busy designing this rice bed these days. The rice bed is much easier than the foot-operated thresher, and Chang Xile only took a day to design it, and now he is planning to make zuò with Chang Yu. Speaking of this, Chang Xile felt ashamed, regardless of his mental age or physical age, Chang Yu was younger than him, and as a result, he had to entrust a person about ten years old to do his work, which was really ......

But I have to say that Chang Yu is a very good helper, as long as Chang Xile arranges it, he only needs to try a few times to make what Chang Xile wants. His strength is greater than that of an adult, but he is still a destructive and flexible person with very clever hands, and as long as he practices one or two, he can make very delicate things. For example, Chang Xile is very good at weaving gadgets from wild grass, Chang Yu just learned it for a while, and then he knew how to do it. Don't look at his strength, but he has a good sense of strength, and he will never break this kind of gadget.

It's only taken a long time, and Chang Yu has done even better than Chang Xile. Although this is also because Chang Xile is no longer flexible on one side, this is definitely Chang Yu's own talent. At first, he was just able to draw scoops according to the gourd, and it didn't take long for him to be able to weave things that Chang Xile had not made up, and even said that he could make up a rough idea with a single brain, so that Yang Zi's group of children didn't know how much they liked and envied it.

It's just that Uncle Tiger has always been arrogant, and if you want to take the things in his hand, you have to see if he is happy that day, and whether you are happy or not.

So with the help of Chang Yu's little plug-in, Chang Xile made the rice bed out before the Chang family began to thresh.
