Chen Xu had breakfast with Shui gently, and after being busy in a mess, he felt that today's things were all arranged, so he rode a horse to the woodworking workshop.

As the autumn harvest approaches, in addition to the plough rakes that are still being made and distributed, he also has to tell the villages to inspect and repair the damaged threshers, and he must also make the sowing rakes as soon as possible.

The drawings have already been drawn, but to make it a physical object that can be sown in the ground, and it has to be made to observe the effect after the sample, after all, he has only seen this thing, and has never studied it carefully, just remember the style, Daqin is not more than two thousand years later, all kinds of tools are lacking, even if it is a small funnel switch, he has designed it several times, and he still feels not very satisfied after the modification, and it is too delicate and complicated to basically do it.

"I've seen Rinori-sama!" Seeing Chen Xu coming, Liu Erwa, who was working in the carpentry workshop, and several apprentices hurriedly stopped and saluted.

"Excuse me, how many rakes have been made recently, and how many have been sent?" Chen Xu nodded and asked after dismounting.

"Recently, I have been stepping up production every day, and I have completed more than 20 sets of all parts of the distribution, but the wood suitable for making Quyuan is not easy to find, and it is all wet material, I am afraid that it will be the same as the thresher, and it will crack and damage after a long time!" Liu Erwa hurriedly said.

"It doesn't matter, this year is in a hurry, first will be like this, after the autumn harvest, arrange more people to go up the mountain to cut down suitable bent wood to dry, wait until winter and then process, spring ploughing to strive for two households to have at least one set of rakes, today I came to make a rake!" Chen Xu walked into the shed and said.

"Lidian, what is the rake?" Liu Erwa asked after her.

"For sowing, I've already drawn the drawings, you come and see!" Chen Xu took out a few sheets of hemp pulp paper stacked together from his pocket, and spread them out on a wooden platform with the other party's tools in the middle of the shed.

"Sowing?" Liu Erwa was surprised, "Don't you use your hands to sow seeds, just dig a small pit and throw the wheat seeds in and cover it!" ”

"The artificial speed is too slow, three people can sow two or three acres a day, and I make it with a rake, and one person and one horse can sow hundreds of acres a day!"

"Puff~" Liu Erwa, who was following behind, almost hit the woodworking table with a pestle under her feet, and the knives and axes in the hands of several apprentices fell to the ground with a clatter, and they all looked at Chen Xu with disbelief on their faces.

Liu Erwa trembled and got up, her beard and eyebrows trembled, and she stammered: "Lidian, don't talk big, how can one person and one horse sow a hundred acres a day, this is ...... It's completely impossible! ”

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, the rake is a sowing artifact that I have studied for a long time, if you can make this thing, I recommend you to the county magistrate to go to the county seat to be a master!"

"Really...... It's true? Liu Erwa was so excited that she almost hit the ground again.

"What are you doing, as soon as this thing comes out, if it reaches Xianyang, maybe His Majesty the First Emperor will summon you, and maybe you will be a big official of the craftsman's house!" Chen Xu continued to increase the weight.

"Good, good!" Liu Erwa's excited old face turned red, and several apprentices also turned red, and gathered around to look at the design drawings.

"You see, the rake is actually a simplistic plow, into the soil is very shallow, only three inches deep on the line, three force columns support three plowshares, the distance between the plowshares is five inches, there is a hollow pipe behind the plowshare, I temporarily designed to use bamboo to do, a funnel above is used to hold seeds, when sowing, only need to put the seeds in the hopper, and then pull the piston, while going forward, the seeds will go down the funnel into the three bamboo tubes and fall into the plough open mud ditch, there is a wooden plank behind, After the seeds fall, the soil will be pushed back into the mud ditch to cover the seeds, and after sowing or when it is resting, the piston of the funnel will be closed, and the latter one will play a role in balancing and stabilizing......"

Several drawings are drawn on the whole map and the analysis of the complex part, and all kinds of data are also clearly marked, a few days ago Chen Xu spent four nights painting these drawings.

At this time, as he continued to explain, Liu Erwa and several apprentices all opened their mouths wide.

In fact, from the time he saw the whole picture, Liu Erwa's heart had already begun to pound, and when Chen Xu explained, he no longer had any doubts in his heart, but it was like a storm.

In fact, the principle is not complicated at all, but to imagine such a thing out of thin air, it is absolutely necessary to rack his brains, at this moment, the reverence for Chen Xu in his heart has risen dozens of feet again, and he feels that he needs to look up to see this little Lidian's chin.

He knew in his heart that if this thing was really successful, two people would be able to sow more than 20 acres a day even if they didn't want livestock.

"Good stuff, definitely good stuff, this ...... This...... Too...... It's incredible! Liu Erwa's dark face was swollen and bleeding with excitement, and she was swinging all over her body with the drawings.

As a carpenter, although he is also a craftsman recognized by Daqin and issued a practice license by the county order, Liu Erwa's status in the town was not high, compared with the potter Gao He, the blacksmith Gushan, and the doctor Xu Yuan, he is completely a dispensable existence, and even a carpenter who is not recognized by Daqin is not as good, because this era does not need the profession of carpenter at all, and the villagers who build houses are all good hands, and they cut down trees and build them when they come back, as for the common furniture in later generations, well, there is no one now, And almost everyone doesn't need it, eating, sitting and sleeping are basically on the ground, ordinary people don't even have beds, just use bamboo, wood and stone to build a random set of corn grass, he usually makes some bamboo and wood slips to meet the needs of the town, the recent improvement in status is entirely because of Chen Xu, the design of the curved plough and the horizontal rake and the threshing machine made him a celebrity in the town, almost every household asked him to make these farming tools as soon as possible, so recently he only needs to appear in the town, Everyone should respectfully greet him when they see him.

And it didn't take long for this to be pleasant, and Xiao Lidian actually designed a more rebellious farm tool.

Once this kind of rake is involved, even if it does not plough the soil, it can also be sown, after all, it comes with three small ploughs, which can also plow the soil, and it is also completed by sowing and laying soil at the same time, which is definitely the best choice for farmers who have not had time to plow the field.

It doesn't matter if you can be a master craftsman, anyway, you have an old bone, but in this life, you can meet Lord Xiaolidian, and you can make so many unbelievably novel and convenient farm tools when you are about to enter the earth, Liu Erwa instantly felt that she was surrounded by an incomparable happiness, her head was dizzy, and there seemed to be all kinds of fairy sounds in her ears.

"How, can you make it, the difficulty is a bit big, but you can make a single plow first to try the effect, if there is no problem then three plowshares should be able to solve, if you use two horses, it is estimated that it is not too difficult to make a six-headed and eight-headed rake!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Lidian, don't worry, even if I don't eat or sleep these days, I will make this rake!" Liu Erwa's directly excited words were almost shaking.

"Well, the soil of the field that has been deeply ploughed and leveled is soft, and the plough can be made of hardwood, if there is no ploughed field, a metal plow must be used, you can discuss with the hemp pole of the blacksmith shop to see how big it is appropriate, after all, with the experience of the curved plow, it is easy to solve the ......"

"I know, these are all easy to solve, the only thing is the number and speed of seed falls, as well as the switch control of the funnel, don't worry, I will definitely come up with a way!" Liu Erwa pinched the drawings and nodded repeatedly.

"That's okay, rake, I want to see the sample as soon as possible, I've worked hard for you in the past two days!" Chen Xu said.

"No hard work, no hard work, three days...... No, I can make a single ploughshare rake in two days! ”

"Okay, let me know when you're done!" Chen Xu nodded and left the carpentry workshop, riding to the blacksmith shop again.

He also had to build two sets of carving knives and seal knives, and last night Shui gently told him that as long as she had a carving knife and a seal knife, she could slowly carve out the engravings, so Chen Xu didn't plan to find other crappy carvers.

The water is gentle and knows martial arts, the eyes are clear and the hands are steady, and the woman is careful enough, so there should be no problem in carving a few wooden boards.

"Lady Ritori!" The thin and tall young blacksmith of the blacksmith shop looked at Jiang Chenxu, and he came out with three apprentices.

This young man is the apprentice of the original blacksmith Gushan, because Gushan plagiarized Chen Xu's improved bronze hand saw, he was promoted to the master craftsman of the county government by the county guard, and was transferred to Wancheng to guide the creation of an improved copper saw, and later because Qin Shi Huang specially told him to reward him in the court, so he was directly transferred to Xianyang by the Zuozhong Chengshang Tu of the craftsman Shaofu to become an official of the craftsman Shaofu, and there were two other apprentices who were transferred at the same time, but that Gushan is still squatting in the prison of the Xianyang Tingwei Mansion, The two apprentices were also implicated, because they knew that they were demoted to slaves and sent to the north to make tools for the slaves of the six countries who built the Great Wall, and whether they could come back depends on luck.

And Gushan was not originally from Qinghe Town, he was a craftsman from Qinghe Town, and the two apprentices were also brought by him from his hometown, so he didn't care much about his stay and life and death in Qinghe Town, but he was not very treated by Gushan, and he was generally not allowed to use a hammer to build things, and he was completely a helper, but after watching it for two or three years, he basically learned what he should learn, so Chen Xu was a pawn, directly recommended him as a blacksmith in Qinghe Town, not only repaired and expanded the scale of the blacksmith shop, but also recruited three apprentices for him in the town.

In this era, the status of craftsmen is still very high, because craftsmen do not need to farm, so every craftsman recognized by the imperial court does not have to pay field tax, nor will they be required to serve in conscription and military service, but they still need to obey the dispatch of the imperial court to build tools, once they encounter a war or like the last time the people need to build tools to build roads, these craftsmen have to serve, and the same can not shirk, otherwise they will be stripped of their craftsman status and become civilians, if the quality of the utensils produced has serious quality problems leading to more serious consequences, then they may also go to prison, exile and even beheading, and apprentices can also be deducted from forced labor and half of the field tax, even if they are semi-formal craftsmen in Daqin, they also need to be filed in the county government, and when the craftsmen are recruited, the apprentices must also participate in doing some auxiliary work together.

The last time he said that Gu Shan plagiarized and improved the copper saw, Chen Xu didn't blame him, and he didn't even mention it again.

Because in Chen Xu's view, the skill of improving a copper saw is completely scum, and his goal is to refine steel to make gunpowder, and push the Great Qin Empire into the age of industry and firearms thousands of years in advance, so he naturally won't take this matter to heart.

Therefore, Ma Zhu can be said to be grateful to Chen Xu, and every time he sees him, he wants to kowtow and thank him.

"No need to be polite, here are a few tools, you recently took the time to help me build them, and you have to polish them!" Chen Xu handed the two drawings to the hemp pole.

"Don't worry, I will definitely finish it as soon as possible!" Ma Zhu respectfully took the drawing with both hands, looked at it for a while, and then replied.

"Well, did you make the close-toothed scythe you made last time?" Chen Xu walked into the blacksmith shop and asked.

"Two samples were made, but the close teeth of the cutting edge are difficult to make, you can take a look first!" Ma Pole hurriedly took out two meniscus knives about two feet long from the wooden frame and handed them to Chen Xu with both hands.

These two sickles look similar to the scythes used in later generations to cut wheat, but because they lack high-strength equipment to open the edge, the serrations of the blade are very thick and large, and they look similar to saws, which are certainly not suitable for harvesting wheat and millet.

A flaming torch and a huge sculpture of a sturdy worker and peasant representative holding a red treasure book suddenly appeared in Chen Xu's mind.

Without the sickle, it seems that the workers' and peasants' armed revolution with the sickle and axe shining on the earth would not have appeared for the time being! Chen Xu's cheek twitched and said: "Handle the sickle slowly, don't worry, help me build this set of carving knives and seal knives first, remember to use the best copper ingots." ”

"Yes!" Ma Pole hurriedly agreed.

Next, Chen Xu rode his horse to the ink mill again.

In order to develop the industry of Qinghe Town as soon as possible, he needs to spread out all kinds of work that can be carried out next to the test, and all the things that can be verified must also be stored in advance, and Qinghe Town has a small population, and it is not complicated, he can just do it without scruples, once he leaves Qinghe Town, many things are restricted, especially when he jumps to Xianyang one day, there is a row of gods squatting above the court, some things are not as easy to unfold as imagined, and they must come up with convincing things. You have to use the power of thunder to impress everyone with you, otherwise you will have no basis for your words, and you won't have the extra energy to verify these things.

I hate less when the book is used!

Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh, he knew that he would be killed if he ran a red light, and he should have read more encyclopedias.
