When I heard the news that Sima Xiangru had left Linqiong, it was already the fifth day after the Wangjiang Pavilion meeting.

Zhang Yuan didn't know if Sima Xiangru had asked Zhuo Wenjun to explain later, and he didn't know how Zhuo Wenjun reacted after he threw down the hundred taels of gold.

In the past few days, he has finally had a long-awaited peaceful life, no one bothered, and the tasks on the system are completed by Xiong Daxiong and two hard-working Daxiong Xiong, which is the beautiful life that should be enjoyed.

Today is the day when Uncle Zhao, a carpenter, completes the water row of the lying wheel, and Zhang Yuan has been lying for several days, and now he finally has work to do.

The previous sheepskin bellows were removed and replaced with wooden bellows corresponding to the horizontal wheel water row.

Under Zhang Yuan's guidance, several handymen directly opened a large opening of the high-temperature furnace for ventilation, the high-temperature furnace at home is not as tall as the Zhuo family's workshop, and the stream leading to the courtyard is not very turbulent, just enough to meet the needs of the high-temperature furnace at home.

It's not a hassle to replace it with a new wooden bellows, just place it on the vent and paste it with mud.

Zhang Yuan still has to command the installation of the horizontal wheel water drain, and these people have never seen it before.

Even Uncle Zhao, who was holding the pattern, didn't know how this thing worked because he couldn't read, so he just made more than ten wooden parts according to the picture above.

Let this group of idiots dig two deep pits first, bury the two pillars as supports in the soil, and then install the lower horizontal wheel on the middle vertical shaft to fix it in the stream, and the lower horizontal wheel just put it on and begin to rotate with the water flow to drive the middle vertical shaft.

Because it was just an experiment, Zhang Yuan did not ask Xiong Da Xiong Er to build an iron cable to serve as a string between the upper horizontal wheel and the drum, but instead used a rope immersed in meat oil instead, maybe the effect would be better.

After the upper horizontal wheel was loaded on the vertical shaft, it was tied to the middle of the drum with the oil rope, which was similar to the long drum of the Korean people in later generations, except that one was a leather drum surface, and the whole body of the drum was made of wood.

Then the branches were removed, the line was lifted, the horizontal shaft, and the ears were all done by Zhang Yuan himself, and this thing couldn't be explained to them clearly for a while, so it was better to do it himself.

Finally, the reciprocating rod is used to link the row with the wooden fan, and this small version of the horizontal wheel water row is installed.

Everyone knew that this thing was used for blowing air after Zhang Yuanrang dismantled the sheepskin bellows and replaced them with wooden bellows and did not use other things in the high-temperature furnace.

"Okay, as usual, smelt iron ore and try to see if this new bellows works."

Zhang Yuan applauded and drove the men to work.

As a result, three people stayed where they were and did not move, and Uncle Zhao, the carpenter, and two small workers who were responsible for blowing the wind.

"Childe, how to use this bellows, you tell the two of us, the villain is stupid and really doesn't know how to use it."

The two small workers asked Zhang Yuan stubbornly.

Zhang Yuan touched his head, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, these tools do improve efficiency, but they will also make some people face the crisis of being laid off.

"How old are you two?"

"Returning to Gongzi, we are both fifteen years old this year."

I'm not an adult yet.

"You two don't need to blow wind here for the time being, so how about learning carpentry from Uncle Zhao?"

For the two of them, Zhang Yuan's words were holy decrees, and the two of them didn't realize that Zhang Yuan was asking their opinions, and immediately agreed after listening to them.

"Whoa."

At this time, Zhang Yuan turned his head to Uncle Zhao and said.

"Uncle Zhao, you can take these two boys, you see what is missing from the furniture at home, can you make it yourself."

"The villain knows what to do."

Zhang Yuan nodded with great satisfaction, there is an old man in the family, in fact, if it is not for the fear that these people will be uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if this group of people are idle at home every day.

Looking at the various iron billets that occupied a large area in the corner of the yard, Zhang Yuan was worried.

For the time being, he didn't want anyone other than these ten people to know, so he prepared a few pieces of steel that was just enough for Xiong Daxiong Er to build a fine steel tool, and as soon as Zhang Yuan's task was completed, those steels were gone.

The surplus pig iron wrought iron has no other use at all, it can only be placed in the courtyard, Zhuo Wangsun himself is selling iron billets, it can't be said that these iron billets are sold to him, the manpower of the iron smelting workshop is no cost, even if there is a cost, it is limited to the daily meals of those people.

And these people under Zhang Yuan's hands are all paid, and they eat better than some Xungui's families, and selling them to other blacksmith shops is tantamount to robbing the business of the two wealthy Zhuo families and the Cheng family in Linqiong.

Although Zhang Yuan is a retainer of Zhuo Mansion, it is better not to do a good job of snatching food.

It seems that he has to find something to do, so that these craftsmen in the family do not do the work every day is actually a waste of time.

I still have to wait for the task of the system to be completed, once I have that map, Zhang Yuan may only lack one thing, that is, manpower, I don't know how many years of coal buried in the ground, I am afraid that Zhang Yuan will not be able to finish digging for the rest of his life.

"Childe."

Zhang Yuan stood in the courtyard for a long time, thinking about these things, and suddenly Xiong Da Xiong Er began to call him again.

Each of them made a sword.

Coupled with the previous four, Zhang Yuan's task progress has finally been completed for most of the time.

"Well done, you two won't build swords next."

In order to be able to complete the task as soon as possible, crafting a time-consuming and laborious weapon like a sword is no longer the best choice for Zhang Yuan.

"So what are we going to build?"

"Can you make a dagger?"

Zhang Yuan asked tentatively, this kind of short and sharp weapon doesn't need to be sold at all, it is wonderful to keep it for self-defense.

"Yes, son, it's just that the dagger is not as expensive as the steel sword, do you want to think about it again."

Every time Xiong Daxiong Er finished building a knife or sword, Zhang Yuan would give the two of them a reward of ten taels of gold, when a person has no money, he may not think that money is good, but as long as a person has money, then his desire will increase.

A rich man who says he doesn't care about money is not convincing at all, except that he can pretend to be forced.

After Xiaoqing, there are two more people in this courtyard who have gotten into the eyes of money, and they also have a simple appearance as a cover.

"It's okay, I'm going to use this dagger for self-defense, and I don't plan to sell it.

Just make three, it's good to be practical, and the scabbard on the outside is not as good as making it gorgeous. ”

Zhang Yuan was afraid that these two people would make a bunch of grooves inlaid with gems in the scabbard of the dagger, which would not be self-defense, but to attract robbers to rob him.

"Well, we got it."
