No. 0532 Water Mill
When he got up in the morning, Feng Yong first practiced a set of radio gymnastics in the courtyard, and then played military gymnastics again, and finally picked up the horse chopping knife and practiced the moves one by one.
It has been three years since this era, and because of adequate nutritional intake and attention to exercise, Feng Yong's body is taller than the average person.
In the past, I could dance two or three times with a weapon, but now I can dance thirty or fifty tricks before I am out of breath, but it is already a great progress.
Guan Ji pointed from time to time.
Practicing martial arts is Guan Ji's idea, according to her words, even if you don't have to go to the battlefield, but at least you have to know some moves to kill the enemy before the battle, otherwise if someone comes to assassinate, it will be able to delay for a while.
Although the words are not explicit, the implication is obvious: that is, Ah Lang, you are too weak, and you didn't even have the ability to delay to let others come over to save your life.
In order to prevent the recurrence of the assassination in Juti County, it is necessary to practice martial arts.
After the activity, I was sweating profusely, took a shower at random, and sat down in front of the desk in high spirits, ready to eat breakfast.
Drink porridge, soy milk, tofu brain.
There are steamed buns, meat patties, steamed buns, and sometimes crispy twist flowers.
At the same time, pickled radish and cold cucumber are served in bowls.
"Did you send it to the next hospital?"
"Back to the Lord's house, I have already sent it over."
The cook set things up, and when she saw that Feng Yong didn't plan to ask any more, she retreated.
Huang Chong and Wang Xun, as well as Wei Rong and Niu Wa, a total of four people, all lived in the courtyard next door, and the meals in the morning and evening were arranged by Feng Yong's courtyard.
Guan Ji sat opposite, looking at the food on the table, then bowed his head slightly to Feng Yong and saluted, and said, "Ah Lang, please eat." ”
"Okay, please do the same."
Feng Yong smiled.
When Guan Ji heard this, he nodded, quickly picked up a meat patty in his hand, then took a bite of it, and then picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of tofu brain.
The dignified lady appearance of the former dinner is no more.
Less than half a year after becoming married to Feng Yong, Guan Ji had practiced the rules and manners for more than ten years, and under someone's deliberate inducement, they were completely broken in a few months.
Let someone have the sinful pleasure of seducing a good family to fall.
The tofu brain on the table was specially prepared for Guan Ji, and Feng Yong never touched it because it was sweet.
Guan Ji is very fond of sweets, and since Feng Yong made brown sugar, eating sweets every day is finally no longer a dream for her.
The meatloaf was also specially prepared for her.
Guan Ji is a person who practices martial arts, and his martial arts are still top-notch, and he needs much more calories than ordinary people every day, and his appetite is amazing.
Poor and rich, this is not a joke.
A poor man's family can't afford to support a person who practices martial arts.
Because a person who practices martial arts, if he does not have meat supplements, then he has to eat a lot of food.
If you don't even have enough food to eat, you are hungry, and you can't even maintain the most basic physical strength, then you still practice fart martial arts?
It's Feng Yong himself, just practicing the art of refining the body, and his appetite has increased in the past two years.
When you bite into the buns of moldy vegetables and bacon, the mouth is full of oily aroma, coupled with the appetizing sour taste, which makes people appetite.
What is happiness?
Happiness is that the years are quiet, you can get up in the morning with the people you love, eat breakfast together, and sleep together in the evening......
Guan Ji's coldness in front of outsiders had long disappeared without a trace, and she was seen squinting her eyes to taste the food, occasionally glancing at Feng Yong, her face full of happiness, full of little woman's appearance.
"My lord, the flower lady is visiting."
The voice of the servant woman outside the door rang out.
When the master is eating, he can't enter without permission, this is the rule of the Feng Mansion, and those who dare to break the rules will be the lightest to hit the board.
The happy atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Feng Yong secretly sighed.
Guan Ji's face also showed dissatisfaction.
It is extremely impolite to visit the door in the morning, but for Hua Hu, what is polite and impolite? The most important thing is, don't let Guan Jia Shiro run away.
And she came here on this trip, and she also came in the name of official business, so she was not afraid of other people's gossip.
Everyone was outside the door, and Feng Yong didn't want people to wait too long, so he asked people to invite her in immediately.
After Hua Yan entered, he saw the things on the table, and grinned, "Feng Changshi is eating breakfast?" Ah, Guan Langjun is also there! ”
It looks like it's very unexpected.
"Sit down and eat."
Feng Yong said helplessly.
"Then the little sister is welcome!"
Hua Fei consciously sat down next to Guan Ji's nearest desk.
Where Feng Langjun is there, food is always the best.
Hua Fei has been eating and drinking in Fengzhuang for a while, and he has long been experienced.
"Want something?"
Feng Yong looked at her greedy appearance and asked directly.
Hua Yan looked at the porridge, pursed his lips, and then looked at the tofu brain on Guan Ji's case, his eyes lit up, "What is this?" Why has my little sister never seen it? I want to try it. ”
"Tofu brain, that's sweet, you eat sweets in the morning?"
"Sweet? That's the best! The concubine likes to eat sweets the most. ”
Hua Fei pointed to the bun again, "What kind of stuffing is that?" ”
But I didn't even look at the steamed buns.
Come on, it's a carnivorous girl again.
"Bacon and moldy vegetables."
"Then I want this, I want ten, the sour one is just appetizing, drink a sip of sweet, eat a sour, sweet and sour one, and I want a pickled radish."
"Don't you want cold courgette?"
"No, courgettes don't taste good."
Well, it's still a heavy taste.
called the cook outside and served a breakfast to Hua Yan.
On weekdays, when cooking for six people, the cook always has to prepare an extra two or three people, in case the lord's mother or a gentleman suddenly wants to eat a few more bites.
Even if you can't finish eating, in addition to eating it yourself, you can also leave it for the part on duty at night.
So it's not a big deal to give the flower mane an extra breakfast.
Taking advantage of the gap when the cook brought breakfast up, Guan Ji glared at Feng Yong covertly.
Feng Yong's eyes wandered, pretending not to see it.
This flower mantle is related to her plan to further release the female labor force in the future, and she should be given some sweetness from time to time to coax her to obediently cooperate with her actions.
For this, I even contributed to the hands of the flowers, not to mention a breakfast meal?
Hua Yan ate happily, but Feng Yong couldn't sit still, drank the soy milk in the bowl in one gulp, got up directly and said, "I've eaten well, you eat slowly." ”
"Flower lady, I've already told Guan Shiro about the racecourse, when the time comes, you can go to the racecourse together, and discuss if there is anything, if you can't solve it, come and tell me."
"Mmmm......mmmm
The flowery mouth was stuffed with buns, her lips were shiny, and she couldn't even speak clearly, so she just nodded, her eyes shining with excitement.
Feng Yong didn't dare to look at Guan Ji, and was about to sneak away.
It's just that he moved fast, Guan Ji moved faster, and his eyes and hands quickly pulled him down, "Where are you going?" ”
Guan Ji got up, and Hua Ji hurriedly stood up, and swallowed all the things in his mouth in three or two clicks, apparently afraid that Guan Ji would take the opportunity to run away.
"The stone mill outside the city has been completed, I have to go over and see it today."
"Didn't Feng Changshi forget that today is the day when Jiang joined the army and arrived in Qiongdu, is it possible that Feng Changshi won't go to see him?"
Guan Ji held Feng Yong's hand tightly.
Hua Fei watched the two of them pull and pull, and immediately "sighed" dissatisfied.
I saw Feng Yong shaking his head and saying, "What's there to see?" Isn't it over when Meng Taishou goes to see him, besides, I'm also a prince anyway, and I really want to go to meet him, so Jiang joins the army, can he afford it? ”
"That's it, Brother Feng has something, and it's inconvenient to greet him, why do you want to hold people Guan Langjun?"
Hua Fei said, stepped forward and pulled Guan Ji's hand away, and then held it tightly in his hand.
Feng Yonggan laughed, didn't dare to look at Guan Ji's eyes ready to kill, and took the opportunity to run.
In a relatively steep place outside the city of Qiongdu, a new canal was brought from the Sunshui River, and a mill was built below the most rapid flow of the canal.
In the past two months, Niu Wa has been taking people in this mill to build instruments according to Feng Yong's wishes.
It wasn't until today that it was all built and ready to be installed.
When Feng Yong arrived, Niu Wa hurriedly greeted him, "Master, everything is ready." ”
Feng Yong nodded and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Yes. This is almost the same as the water mill, that is, the stone mill is replaced with a stone mill, which is very simple. ”
The water mill is a tool that uses water power to hull grains, and it will appear no later than the Western Han Dynasty.
Because in the book "New Treatise" written by Huan Tan of the Western Han Dynasty, it was mentioned: ...... It also reinstated the use of donkeys and mules, cattle and horses, and water throwing, which was a hundred times more profitable.
Among them, "throwing water and scooping" is to use a water wheel to drive the rod to scoop rice.
With the promotion of new farming tools and advanced farming techniques in recent years, Dahan's grain has always been a bumper harvest compared with previous years.
Coupled with the delicious food of steamed buns, as well as the emergence of dry food and other things, the demand for flour in Dahan is increasing.
That is to say, the Xinghan Society has a lot of livestock in its hands, and can use cattle, horses and other livestock to grind, which barely ensures the supply of flour to the imperial court and Yueshan.
If you really want to use manpower to grind like other people, I don't know how much manpower and time it takes, and the efficiency is really outrageously low.
After having an urgent need, Feng Yong finally turned his mind to water power: Damn, Lao Tzu can't make a water-powered loom, can't he make a water mill?
Cattle and horses still have to eat forage, and they have to rest at night, and this water mill does not stop day and night, and I don't know where the efficiency is high.
Let's get it!
Although Niu Wa is a little stupid in reading, she has finally inherited the fine tradition of Ding Erjia's poor reading, but strong motivation.
In addition, he also stayed in the academy, and followed Feng Yong to the north and south, and his horizons finally broadened.
After listening to Feng Yong's idea, he could quickly understand what Feng Yong meant, saying that this matter was very simple.
Of course, this thing is simple.
Because the clever ancient Chinese laborers had already helped solve the most difficult part of the water mill hundreds of years ago: the water turbine and the rotating shaft.
Originally, Feng Yong still wanted to add some gears or wrap an iron sheet to prolong his life or something, but after carefully observing the actual object of the water mill, he directly gave up the treatment.
Although in the eyes of Feng Yong, who is accustomed to seeing the big industrial manufacturing in later generations, the water turbine and rotating shaft made of pure wood are primitive and rough, which is a typical stupid and coarse.
But if you can't stand the simple structure of others, the simple structure indicates that the maintenance is also simple, not to mention that this thing is much stronger than imagined.
The only drawback is that the efficiency is a little low, but in this era, compared to human and animal power, it is high efficiency.
Feng Yong tinkered for a long time, only to realize that the only thing he could modify was to make its blades shrink according to the physical principles and the appearance of the water turbine of later generations, which could maximize the efficiency of hydraulic conversion.
As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the water mill has been popularized in large quantities, and all Niu Wa has to do is to replace the tools of rice with a grinding disc for grinding flour.
At the age of eleven or twelve, he can make a cow baby who has never seen a zigzag plough according to the picture, and this technical problem will definitely not be difficult for him.
"When it will be installed, pay attention to safety, don't hurt your hands and feet, and the grinding disc on the hanger must be the last to be installed, so as not to fall down and hit the people below."
Feng Yong saw that everything was ready, and gave an instruct.
The grinding disc is divided into two parts, the lower grinding disc should be installed on the rotating shaft, and the upper grinding disc should be hung up with a hanger, in fact, the truth is the same as the grinding disc at home when I was a child.
It's just that manpower is replaced by water.
"Understood."
"Alright, let's get started."
Standing in the house will not help, but will hinder it, and at the same time will make those craftsmen shrink back, Feng Yong told them to start, turned around and walked out, found a shade and sat down and waited.
There was a shouting in the room, then the creak of wood, and then the cow baby shouting, "Be careful, nail ...... hard."
Feng Yong looked at the water mill in front of him, and his thoughts drifted a little.
The water mill is used to remove the shell, the water mill is used to grind the powder, which is similar to the structure of the water mill and the water mill, and there is another thing, called the water drain.
In fact, that is what Feng Yong wants most, because the water drain is actually a hydraulic blast to smelt iron.
The reason why Feng Yong wanted to tinker with this water mill was actually stimulated by Huang Yueying.
After returning to Jincheng from Nanzhong, Feng Yong went to see Huang Yueying's improved blower, tried it himself, and then expressed his admiration for the national treasure-level engineer.
How do you know that Huang Yueying's face is flat, saying that someone in the Later Han Dynasty has made a water row that uses hydraulic blasts to smelt iron, but unfortunately she can't. Otherwise, if the blower and the water drain can be combined, then the big man really doesn't have to worry about iron deficiency anymore.
Feng Yong was shocked at the time, he didn't believe Huang Yueying's words at all, and felt that she was bragging.
What's more, I graduated from a prestigious university, and I invented a blower that still leaks, and you actually told me that someone made a hydraulic blast iron smelting equipment two hundred years ago?
Later, Huang Yueying directly threw over a copy of "Dongguan Hanji", which really recorded the story of Du Shi being too punctual in Nanyang, in order to save people's manpower, and make water and iron smelting.
slapped Feng Tu's face with a crackling sound, red and swollen.
It's a pity that there are only a few sentences in the book, and there is no mention of the specific structure of the water drain at all!
The reason why this water row can be recorded in the book is to praise Du Shi's dedication to the people when he was an official, so he is fortunate to be known.
Damn!
was so angry that Feng Yong almost scolded, such an important thing, just because it belongs to handicraft work and has nothing to do with cheap industry, do you say you don't remember it?
Feng Tu Turtle feels like a husky on the day!
Nowadays, if you want to find the structural diagram of the water drain, you can either find Du Shi's descendants, who may have something written down by their ancestors. But after so many years, who knows who Du Shi's descendants are?
The second way is to go to Nanyang to find someone who can do water drainage.
Because Du Shi vigorously promoted water drainage in Nanyang back then, he left a lot of water drainage there.
But the world has been in turmoil for decades, and there are many things that have been lost, and how many people in Nanyang can know how to make water drains, which is also unknown.
Because Huang Yueying was born in the Jingzhou clan, she had heard of this, but she knew that there were similarities between the water drain and the water pipe, and she really wanted to explore it, but it was not an overnight effort.
What's more, Huang Yueying now wants to raise a fetus and can't bother too much, so the restoration work of this water drain has simply stopped at the end.
Without the technical support of professionals, Feng Yong had no choice but to retreat and make a simpler one: water mill.
Practice first, accumulate some experience, maybe you have more experience, and you can figure out the water drain?
I don't know how long it took, but I saw Niu Wa running out of it with a happy face, "The main family is already safe." ”
"Oh?" Feng Yong got up and patted his buttocks, "Is the water released from the canal?" ”
"I've already told someone to go ahead and put it in front."
"Okay, let's go inside."
Walking into the mill, I saw that the grinding disc on the hanger and the grinding disc on the rotating shaft had been snapped together, and the water from the canal was rushed over, driving the water turbine, and then driving the grinding disc to rotate through the rotating shaft.
Although it is very simple, the power mechanism, transmission mechanism and working mechanism are already in place, and it can be regarded as the most basic complex machine.
