On the banks of the Bashui River, five waterwheels turned.

Each waterwheel is connected with three connecting rods, and the connecting rods move with the rotation of the waterwheel, giving people the feeling of stretching and contracting.

In front of each connecting rod was placed an old-fashioned Li Yi rice thresher at that time.

Threshing is made up of several wooden bearings and connecting rods, and at the most critical point there are hollow barrels made of wooden planks.

Each plank is topped with wire loops, which are turned and used to beat the rice or wheat grains off the stalks.

In addition to the threshing machine, which is to be propelled by water conservancy, there are also two foot pedal types.

A large group of people around watched, and the people of Zhuangzi were very unhappy, why should they let others see their own treasures.

But there was no way, the proprietor allowed others to see it.

Zhuangzi's craftsmen inspect the equipment and drip soybean oil on the shafts and the places where they are connected, which is used as lubrication.

"You can also use other vegetable oils." Li Yi introduced to the eldest brother and the third brother.

Li Longji and Li Chengqi said that they understood that the axle of the car they were riding in should also drip oil, otherwise the wood would burn if it was ground and grinded.

Of course, the waterwheel is not used, and the waterwheel has water as lubrication.

However, the shaft of the waterwheel should be soaked in oil and tung oil before making the waterwheel.

Everything was ready, and Li Yi personally picked up a handful of wheat stalks.

Come to the foot-operated thresher, step on it, kick hard, and the connecting rod will move to take up the barrel and rotate.

He put the straw in his hand on it, and it crackled and boomed, and the sound of the threshing machine and the sound of the wheat being beaten down sounded at the same time.

After a few breaths, the grains on the straw are beaten down.

Li Yi took another handful and repeated the operation.

Crackling, booming, and working out again.

Li Longji personally learned from Li Yi and operated on another foot-operated thresher.

Several times in a row, he laid down the straw and stood there, not saying a word.

"Let's go." Li Yi ordered.

The fifteen people guarding the water thresher over there took advantage of the connecting rod on the waterwheel to reach over and connected to the thresher as fast as possible.

In fact, it is a circle, which is inserted into the protruding part of the rod, and then the waterwheel drives the threshing machine on the side of the connecting rod to operate.

A person stands in front of each threshing machine, takes a handful of straw handed over to him, puts it on it and beats off the grain.

One person delivers, one person plays, with tacit understanding, and the speed is fast.

For a moment, the entire river was crackling and rumbling.

The other outsiders watched stupidly, drooling wide, wide-eyed, scratching their ears and cheeks, clenching their fists......

None of them dared to speak, for fear of offending the sacred scene.

Li Longji raised his head, and two lines of tears flowed down.

Queen Wang pursed her lips, and her eyes were red.

The people watching from the Zhuangzi strive to stand up straight, and at this moment, glory belongs to their proprietor.

After a while, Li Yi broke the silence with a loud voice: "Big brother, third brother, can such a thing cost five catties of iron?" ”

"Huh?" Li Chengqi was taken aback.

Then he pushed his head harder: "Cheng, Cheng, fifty catties of iron is also worth it, it can be so fast, artifact, third brother, Datang doesn't have to spend a lot of manpower to threshing." ”

Li Longji punched the palm of his other hand: "Baby, my Datang baby, this thing can be shared by several households, more than a dozen households." Five pounds of iron, not much. ”

"Big brother, third brother, if you don't have iron, you can use bamboo, but after wearing, you need to replace the bamboo strips."

"It's better to cut the bamboo tube crosswise and fix it on it."

Li Yi said and thought of a way, there is no circle made of wire.

The old bamboo, cut out a circle, with the method of tenon riveting on the wooden barrel board, the effect is not bad.

"Good way, Brother Yi is a talent who has passed through heaven and earth." Li Longji reached out and touched Li Yi's head.

Li Chengqi also touched it, and Queen Wang naturally rubbed Li Yi's hair.

Li Yi: "......"

He tied his hair back up, long and almost up to his shoulders.

'Poof! Zhang Xiao, the village leader of Zhangjia Village, came to Li Yi and knelt down directly.

"Zhang Cunzheng, what are you doing, hurry up." Li Yi took a step aside and reached out to help.

Zhang Xiao followed and continued to kneel: "Proprietor Li, what do you say you want?" Anything I can take out in Zhangjia Village, I will give it to you. ”

"Alas! I don't want anything, and in a while you call someone to learn. Li Yi said and went to help again.

Zhang Xiao was stunned until he was helped up, and he stared at Li Yi with disbelief in his eyes.

Li Yi turned his head and said to Li Chengqi and Li Longji: "Big brother, third brother, please help promote this thing." ”

"Brother Yi, you ...... Don't want benefits? Li Longji stared.

"Yes, how could not." Li Yi said.

Later, he said, "The good thing I want is to be in a good mood." There is no bitter cold everywhere in Datang, and there are tens of millions of mansions. Cool in summer and warm in winter. The old child smiled. ”

"Okay, good, Brother Yi, third brother letter." Li Longji patted Li Yi on the shoulder.

Li Chengqi nodded beside him, in approval.

In other words, he can slap him in the face, why are you so great?

But Brother Yi said that it must be good.

Because before Brother Yi said this, he did it.

Look at Brother Yi's Zhuangzi, raise a scholar, eat meat for the villagers, make beautiful clothes and schoolbags for the children, and study together.

When he was sick, Brother Yi took action personally.

When others come to Zhuangzi to sell things, the price given by Zhuangzi is very high.

Yi Di took all kinds of good skills out, and never said anything in return.

"Li, Li Dongzhu, you, you say white, give us white?" Muramasa Zhang Xiao finally relented.

His face was pale, sweating profusely, and he asked in an uncertain tone.

Li Yixin said, how can it be given for nothing, everyone uses it, and I can increase my lifespan a lot.

He wanted to think about it, but what he said was: "Zhang Cunzheng, do you have a penny?" ”

"Huh? Yes. Zhang Xiao didn't know what Li Yi meant, so he took out a penny.

Li Yi took it in his hand: "For a penny, this method has been sold to your village." ”

Zhang Xiao was stunned again, and then gave a deep salute: "Li Dongzhu, but in the future, if there is an order, Zhangjiacun will not dare to disobey." ”

Other merchants who came to buy soy sauce were tempted, good things.

What kind of thing is this, threshing wheat like flying?

Wheat is good, and rice is even better.

There is this treasure, so what kind of stone mill and flail do you want.

With a foot step, a large handful of wheat was taken off.

How much labor is saved? Don't be so time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The rest of the day can be used for other tasks.

Compared with the flail, this sacred object is worth 100 people per person.

And the stone grinder, without animal power, people pull it by themselves, it is simply fatal.

Driving livestock to pull and grind, when the livestock is tired, they eat more.

If there is a river at the edge of the village, a waterwheel can be set up, and the whole village can use it.

Everyone looked at the threshing machine, and they were more shocked than when the people in Li Yi's former place saw the combine harvester for the first time.

The waterwheel was spinning, and fifteen hydraulic threshers kept beating down the wheat grains.

The people of Zhuangzi feel extremely energetic when they work, and they have a sense of superiority.

The other two threshers are also used by the bankers to step on them.

Others brought the straw and carried it away to clean up the field.

This one only has a few small pieces of foam, which is much better than pressing and beating with a flail.

Others looked at the hot eyes and waited for Li Yi to come up with the production method.

The scholars and students also watched the excitement, dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Turning his head and thinking about how to write an article to praise, because there will be more white noodles to eat.

In the summer harvest, Zhuangzi will not sell grain, so naturally everyone eats it.

And it has already been decided, after planting wheat and ploughing, and then planting rice.

Rice harvest, is white rice.

Therefore, we must boast, and we must praise the proprietor to heaven, so that everyone knows it, otherwise I will be sorry for the house where I live in vain and the food I eat for nothing.

Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king.

Don't chill the proprietor's heart.
