Chapter XXVII
"Wow! Multiply! ......"
Li Yuanjia believes that if he puts himself into a comic, his face must be burned red now, and then it will be like water is boiling, and his head will be steaming constantly!
"Quyuan plow...... What does it look like? ”
After going around his study several times, Li Yuanjia can finally determine one thing, that is, when he reads historical novels, because he is curious, he does look like a Quyuan plow, but ......
It's just a glance.
So if Li Yuanjia recalls it now, he can indeed draw that thing. It's a pity that it can only be drawn to look roughly, as for the names of the dozen or so parts on the Quyuan plow, as well as their respective looks and functions, it is completely blank!
So......
"What kind of waterwheel is that, it shouldn't be funny?"
Thinking of the waterwheel he saw on the Internet, in movies, or when he traveled in the south, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but roll his eyes - in addition to remembering that the thing looked like a Ferris wheel, all he could remember was that it was completely powered by water, and the rest was ......
"Bang!"
"I can't forget something, what is the use of hair?!"
After kicking the chair hard, Li Yuanjia complained about his golden finger angrily again. If this thing had appeared a few years earlier, even if it was a year, he would have been able to come to the Tang Dynasty with a head of things, and he would not have rubbed his temples like he did today, and he couldn't remember what Qu Yuan Plough looked like!
If you just know the shape, there is a hair?
The key is to look at those statements that travel through novels, and this memorization seems to be not too complicated, but it seems to be quite important? What are the signs of maturity of farming tools? And the waterwheel called the tube car, since it can be used for thousands of years, it should also be a very awesome thing, right?
To be honest, Li Yuanjia really wanted to make them.
Not to mention whether they can increase productivity, increase grain production, and contribute to the glorious cause of their old Li dynasty, he also has tens of thousands of acres of land under the name of King Yu, if he really relies on backward tools to plough and irrigate, how much labor will be wasted?
If these laborers can be liberated, how much value can they create for Li Yuanjia?
"No, it has to be done!"
After turning around in the study several times, Li Yuanjia bit his teeth and immediately knocked on the table and shouted, "Someone!" Who's out there? Hurry on in! ”
"Squeak!"
The door of the study was opened from the outside, and Liu Mei hurriedly walked in and saluted, "King, what do you command?" ”
With a wave of his hand, Li Yuanjia said, "Go and give me Lao Han...... Forget it, go and call me that carpenter, that carpenter whose name is Chen Mu...... Forget it, let him wait for me in the small courtyard next to him in a moment! ”
Li Yuanjia's study is really getting more and more important.
In addition to the simple objects that he painted when he thought about it and then saved it when he thought it was reliable, more importantly, he has been accelerating the preparation of various "ancient books" that he intends to use to fool people in the future, as well as "translations" of books from countries such as Tianzhu, Persia and Byzantium.
Each of these things is quite valuable.
For example, the book about the four operations written by Li Yuanjia some time ago may not be a big deal from a mathematical point of view, many ancestors have already eaten it thoroughly, but what if you add Arabic numerals? With the emergence of Arabic numerals, it means that the writing of mathematical formulas will be greatly simplified, and the calculation will gradually withdraw from the stage of history, if it is combined with the modern abacus "invented" by Li Yuanjia to replace the old-fashioned abacus of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that a book can change the entire history of mathematics!
And this book is now stored in this study.
Since it was written, Li Yuanjia naturally wouldn't mind spreading it, but he was afraid that this thing would not be taken seriously after being taken away, and if it was thrown away or destroyed, all the work of the ten days would be in vain.
Therefore, from the day they moved into the Luzhou Government Office, except for a few people such as Han Shan, Chunyan and Liu Mei, almost no one was allowed to step into this study again. Even if they are Han Shan, they can only enter when Li Yuanjia is present, and no one can think about it in normal times!
So in order to "meet" the people in the house, Li Yuanjia specially prepared a small courtyard.
The key is that there are many convenient and practical things in that small courtyard, such as carpenter's tools, etc., which is also convenient for Li Yuanjia and Chen Mu and others to communicate. As for the place where Chen Mu and Niu Da Niu Er worked, it was too crude and pickled, and King Yu definitely couldn't go......
……
After about two incense sticks, Chen Mu hurriedly ran to the small courtyard.
Li Yuanjia, who couldn't sit still in the study for a long time, asked simply after seeing him: "Chen Mu, this king asks you, can you make a plow for ploughing?" ”
"This ...... Of course it does! ”
After a pause, Chen Mu hurriedly said.
"What about the waterwheel? Will it be done? ”
"The waterwheel that the king said is a rollover for irrigation?"
"Overturned...... yes, that's it. ”
After a pause, Li Yuanjia hurriedly nodded and said, "I have seen it once before, people stand on it and step on it, who can absorb it from the river to the shore!" ”
"This ......"
Chen Mu's expression became a little bitter, and he said in a panic: "The king forgives the sin, this little one really won't do it!" It's quite complex, and only a few carpenters can build it, small, small...... The little one has only seen it twice! ”
"Alright, don't worry!"
Seeing that the little carpenter was scared enough, Li Yuanjia frowned, but he still hurriedly comforted him gently.
It's really cool to be a prince in this evil feudal society, except for those in the Chang'an Palace, Li Yuanjia doesn't have to be afraid of anyone at all, at most, he can't offend. But on the other hand, even if he is not the kind of hypocritical person, but a guy like Chen Mu who is panicked at every turn, for fear that he will be demoted, is sometimes quite annoying.
So Li Yuanjia didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Go back, you make a plow for me, and then find someone for me to make a rollover...... Don't use the kind that is too big, a little smaller, just use it! ”
"Goo-dong!"
Swallowing hard, Chen Mu said entangledly: "King, the plow is easy to do, and the small one is helping the three Zhuangzi to make farm tools, among which is this thing, which can be sent to you tomorrow." But I'm afraid it's a little difficult to overturn, and I don't know if anyone in Luzhou will do it! ”
"Huh? Are there very few people who can do it? ”
Hearing the little carpenter say this, Li Yuanjia was a little surprised.
Nodding, Chen Mu said, "Yes, king, very little. After all, it costs a lot to make a rollover, and ordinary people can't afford it, and only some wealthy families have ......."
