As soon as the son's birthday passed, the prince's affairs began to be in full swing. In accordance with the tasks given to you at the pillar meeting, we will start to prepare for each of them.
The first thing the prince had to do was to build two major facilities: an ice cellar and a nursery greenhouse. The ice cellar is used to store cold drinks, and it is necessary to freeze ice in winter or take ice from the small river not far from the Nanda Wall in Nanwaifu and put it in the ice cellar to refrigerate and eat cold drinks for the next year. The prince bought back the aluminum alloy material that can build five greenhouses, one of which is used for raising seedlings, and it must be built first. Under normal circumstances, seedlings are raised in the first month, and when the weather warms up in February and March, the seedlings are also very large, so they can be transplanted to the ground, so that they can eat fresh vegetables two months in advance when the green and yellow are not harvested. Of course, the common people do not have the economic conditions to buy such vegetables, but the rich people in the capital are not three or five households, and they can enjoy fresh vegetables that others cannot enjoy. And the prince's vegetables are not only popular vegetables such as eggplant, pepper and beans, but also cauliflower, purple cabbage (that is, purple kohlrabi), water spinach, cabbage, etc., which are not available in the Qing Dynasty, and the seeds have been bought. But now it's April, and you can grow some flower seedlings, fruit tree seedlings, and medicinal seedlings, and you can also grow a little bit of vegetables. Because the temperature in the greenhouse is several degrees higher than outside, the growth rate of seedlings is much faster.
The first step in the construction of these two large facilities is to select a site and lay the foundation. The aluminum alloy frame of the greenhouse was bought, and it still has to be installed, right? The frame of those greenhouses should also be laid. The ice cellar had to dig deep pits and the walls were made of stones. Fortunately, there were 180 pro-soldiers in the house, as well as dozens of guards, servants and craftsmen, all of whom were manpower who could dig foundations and pits, mainly relying on pro-soldiers. Eunuchs are always inferior to real men in their hard work, but they can deliver tea and food, and the errands and tricks of the inner government are also undertaken by eunuchs.
Other greenhouses are used to grow flowers, out-of-season, medicinal seedlings, vegetables, exotic fruits, etc., and will be built one after another. In other places, ginseng and other precious medicinal materials are cultivated in greenhouses.
The prince took Tian Liang and Nalan to Fangshan Quarry to order stones, and the stones for building the ice cellar have specific requirements, which are too big to move, and easy to collapse if they are small. There are also specific requirements for the floor of the ice cellar.
It can be said that the investment in what the prince wants to do is relatively large, the harvest will be great, and the effect is relatively slow, but the effect is long-term. For example, if you plant fruit trees, "three peaches, four apricots, and five years of plums", it will take several years to bear fruit, but after they bear fruit, they will have fruit to eat every year. For example, if you dig a well, you have to dig it for a long time and at a deep depth before the water can come out, and the water will be endless.
The stones are good to order, but the quarry is not responsible for delivering them to the customer's home, and must have their own car to pull them. Fortunately, the three of them bought a lot of wheels that can be installed on large cars, and designed the carriage to be larger, and if a few more wheels are installed, the loading capacity will be much larger, so that they can pull a lot of stones. Fangshan is not very far from the capital, sixty miles away, and you can save a lot of time by pulling stones with a big cart.
When he was in a foreign land, the prince had already planned these two big facilities. The two basic facilities of the greenhouse and the ice cellar began to be prepared. Of course, at the beginning, we had to build a greenhouse and an ice cellar to raise seedlings and store cold drink. But in addition to bringing back five aluminum alloy greenhouses, the prince also brought back several semi-underground greenhouses with steel bars, cement and wood. If it is easy to use and can make money, it will be built one after another. If you don't have the title of the prince, the abundant financial resources, and the master's magical powers, all of them are empty talk.
To go to Fangshan to pull stones, you have to equip a cart with exotic wheels, and the prince handed over the task of equipping a rubber tire cart to Tian Liang. Tian Liang began to design carriages and horses with a loading capacity far greater than that of the Qing Dynasty. Many things are easier said than done, and it is really a great test for Tian Liang, who has never done any design.
Tian Liang thought of the drawing paper, drawing board, T-shaped ruler, triangle board and other drawing instruments that Yun'er had bought, and what could be convenient with these designs. So he wrote a note with the things that needed to be used, and asked the fish to pass it on to the master. He generally doesn't hide from the fish, and there is no need to hide it, the fish knows how to read and understand the content better, so as not to misunderstand.
When Yun'er saw the note, she said to Yu'er: "You sue SΓΉ Liangzi, I will find him when I have time." β
When the fish went on a business trip, he took a lot of strange household goods, and he couldn't get them alone, so he had the help of Shui'er and Rui'er. Children's curiosity is much stronger than that of adults, and they watch these things all night, and they don't even dare to touch them. It wasn't until Tian Liang came home and saw the drawing instrument and his daughter's big curious eyes that he hugged his daughter to his lap and explained to her what it was for and how important it was.
With the drawing instrument, Tian Liang was able to design a carriage with rubber tires.
Yun'er's impatience does not mean carelessness, and while giving Tian Liang the drawing equipment, she also transported the basic drawing knowledge materials printed by Xiaoli. Tian Liang looked at these things, and his heart was spicy. Mechanical drawing is a specialized discipline, must be the basis of mechanical drawing, including a lot of content, such as the basic knowledge and skills of drawing standards, to master the basic provisions of drawing standards, drawing format and format, proportion, font, drawing line and drawing method, size note, drawing method, instrument use method, geometric figures...... Wait, wait. For those who have never been exposed to this knowledge, it must be confusing. But Tian Liang was not intimidated by these obstacles, but calmly began to read these materials. Without more than ten years of cultivation in the mountains, it would be difficult for him to sit on the bench: everything is unfamiliar!
Fortunately, the master opened the brain capacity of the three of Yun'er, and after accepting the task given to him by the prince, Tian Liang began to use new knowledge while learning at home. With more ** around the prince, Tian Liang can do things without distractions. Fortunately, the design of the carriage is not very complicated, but the size of the carriage should match the size of the tires and the load capacity, and there is also knowledge of mechanics. Fortunately, Yun'er bought Tian Liang a lot of books, books on all aspects, including geometry and mechanics. As if forgetting the existence of the world, Tian Liang quickly entered the door after a short period of ignorance, and began to try to draw plane graphics after mastering the most basic mechanical drawing knowledge. Then there is the projection method, three views, surface stereo three views, axonometric projection, plane cutting body, intersecting stereo view, combination, section view and so on all mechanical drawing methods have been mastered! At first, I thought it was boring, but the more I learned, the more interesting it became. This is a new field, a new knowledge! No one knows what kind of understanding he went through.
After a few days of study and understanding, on the third day after receiving the task given to him by the prince, a cart with three horses and six exotic tires was designed.
The prince looked at the drawings of the big car designed by Tian Liang again and again, and really didn't believe that a person in his twenties who had been practicing martial arts since childhood would draw such professional drawings. Wang Ye has the drawings of the aluminum alloy greenhouse designed for him by Mr. Zhong, an expert professor, and compared with it, Tian Liang's design drawings are really professional!
The prince has always liked this taciturn young man, and he praised him happily: "You can do it, I heard Mr. Zhong say that it takes several years for those who are engaged in design to fully master this knowledge." β
"Subordinates, this is grinding guns." Tian Liang scratched his scalp embarrassedly.
The prince patted Tian Liang on the shoulder with satisfaction: "I think it's okay, go back to Master Cui in the woodworking workshop and ask him to make the carriage first." You can rest at home for two days to replenish your brain cells. β
Of course, Tian Liang couldn't really rest for two days, but immediately drew another drawing of the carriage, which indicated the specific size, how could the assembly drawing be given to him?
This Master Cui is the head of the woodworking workshop in Fushang, and the carpentry work is quite good, and he began to build the carriage after receiving the drawings. There are seven or eight people under him, all of them are his disciples, and the master has done it, can they watch? Sawing saws, planing planing, chiseling riveting, one day's work to do a good job of the carriage.
The prince's side and the quarry have already set the stones, and they are waiting for the cart to be built and pulled by a cart of three horses. How many stones can be loaded in the wooden wheels and small carriages of the Qing Dynasty?
Tian Liang knew the size of the bought tire on the axle, which was said casually by the owner, and he remembered it. At that time, this size was also measured, because Mr. Chung did not trust the owner of the goods.
Then look for tires. The prince gave an order, and Mang Ge bore the brunt of the tire-loading treasury. He always charges ahead when he does hard work, and he doesn't care if he's dirty or tired.
"Brother Ryoko, is that the tire you were talking about?"
"You're in a hurry, you need to find a ladder. There's a long ladder here, so be careful. Don't fall off and break the fat on your body. β
"How do you know I'm fat? Understood? β
"You guy, don't say you can't adjust the lane, take it from the top tire, be careful!"
Mang Ge thought that the tire was a very light thing, how did he know that the center of the tire was made of alloy material, just pulled the tire out, the strength of his hand was not enough, and the tire fell directly from Mang Ge's hand, and then rushed to the door. He also jumped over the threshold and ran towards a tree-lined road ahead.
The maids who were sweeping the leaves were frightened, and no one had ever seen such a strange thing, and they rushed over with a jump, causing a burst of frightened screams, some calling for mothers and some shouting for help. made the prince laugh.
The Nalan guard standing under the ladder chased out without saying a word, and then shot out at a speed of 100 meters of sprint.
The eunuch Wei Gongcheng walked in the garden, humming a small tune in his mouth. Suddenly, he saw a black object rushing towards him, dodging and falling to the ground, and the tire rolled over his body unceremoniously, and continued to run. It wasn't until it hit a tree that it fell down to rest.
Father-in-law Wei touched his neck and realized that his head was still there.
Mang Ge and Nalan were going to die laughing, they saw the tires rolling over Grandpa Wei, and Grandpa Wei thought he was dead and lay there motionless.
began to install the cart, Tian Liang first put the two wheels on the axle, and then a few guards and a few soldiers who came to help lifted the carriage to the wheels, the prince and Tian Liang commanded, and finally installed the carriage on the axle seamlessly.
The car was big enough to hold thousands of pounds of rocks. The six wheels were installed, and Tian Liang went to find a pump. The cheering thing is naturally reckless, and the famous Hercules is him.
"You go to the stable and choose three honest and strong horses, and bring them to pull the cart."
