Chapter 54: Plow
In the corner of the wall is a very traditional straight plow! Su Bai has seen the Quyuan plow, and he also knows very well why it is labor-saving and why it is easy to use, thanks to the agricultural science program he watched on TV before, which introduced the reform of agricultural tools in my country!
My uncle's family is a blacksmith, and I can cooperate with my uncle to make a quyuan plow and sell it! This kind of plough is labor-saving and easy to use, and it is like the kind of wasteland of one's own, which can be cultivated even with the old cattle of the family now, and the farmer can plow the land faster. And if this kind of zigzag plough spreads, then its own prestige? This is not the kind of horseshoe, only the military can use it in large quantities, this is something that can benefit thousands of families, speaking of horseshoes, by the way, why haven't you received much prestige until now? Right! People don't even know that this horseshoe was invented by themselves, how can it be prestigious! What a fool I am!
Seeing his grandson staring at the straight plough in a daze, the old lady wondered, "Eldest grandson, what's wrong?" Su Bai came back to his senses, looked at the old man and smiled: "It's okay grandpa, I'm just thinking about something." The old man touched Su Bai's head and said: "Grandson, you are a scholar, you should also pay attention to your body, don't be tired of your brain", Su Bai smiled, helped the old man back to the house, and secretly conceived a new plan in his heart, and when his uncle came, he gave him the drawings, let him test a few more times, and after finding the best angle, he would expand the production capacity.
The wine was very happy, at least Wang Xing was drunk, he vomited several times, Wang Liu was also very happy today, he didn't care about Wang Xing, Er Niu and Xiaobao squatted in the corner to share mutton for a few children, Su Bai smiled, now it's a little cold outside, I won't join in the fun, or go back to the house and sleep well, and then discuss with the family tomorrow at night, next year I know that it is a locust plague, and farming is to lose money.
Now that the kang has become popular, lying on the hot kang, Su Bai fell asleep not long after, he got up early and greedy late in the past two days, his spirit was already very tired, and after lying on the kang for a few seconds, Su Bai fell asleep sweetly.
......
Su Bai was woken up by Wang Liu's family, and called him to get up for dinner, the villagers had all left after eating and drinking, Su Bai was called up in a daze, Wang Liu sat in front of Su Bai and said: "Da Niu, what did you say you were looking for your uncle during the day?" Su Bai rubbed his face and said: "There is a way to get rich, don't you say that my uncle is a blacksmith, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." Wang Liu rubbed Su Bai's head with a smile and said, "Even if you have a conscience, hurry up and eat."
This habit of eating dinner was brought over by Su Bai, and the Wang family is also rich now, how many families in Huangniu Village can eat three meals a day?
......
Early the next morning, he hired the pillar father to pull the king Liu to find his uncle, Cheng Chumo's work efficiency was very fast, the workers and craftsmen all arrived, Su Bai led them to the small river in their wasteland, explained to them how big the building they needed, and then showed them the drawings they had drawn, and the rest of the things did not have to be taken care of by themselves.
The head of the craftsman is called Lu Chen, an experienced craftsman, who has seen the drawings, and then looked at the terrain and said at the time. It won't take him a month to deliver, but I hope that Su Bai can help him hire some labor in the village, and they won't treat the villagers badly in terms of remuneration, this Su Bai is happy to help, now it is the agricultural slack period, and there are strong laborers in the village, this kind of guy who can still earn money close to home, I believe that there are people who do it.
After returning to the village, he told Wang Xing about the matter, and it was better for him to come forward for this kind of hiring thing, Wang Xing became excited when he heard it, especially knowing that this was still a business between his own family and the little grandfather, and he laughed all the way to hire people.
Wang Liu came back when it was almost noon, and there was a young man in his twenties who came back with him, he was Su Bai's uncle, Liu Tiezhu. His body proportions are very uncoordinated, his arms are unusually thick, and he is even about to catch up with his thighs, his stature is not tall, about 1.7 meters or so, he was also very excited when he saw Su Bai, he came over and raised Su Bai with both hands, and asked with a smile in his mouth: "Da Niu, do you want to miss your uncle?" ”。
When Su Bai saw him, memories of him also floated in his mind, his uncle had been very fond of him since he was a child, and Su Bai's only two small toys were made for him by his uncle, but the two families were a little far away, and they couldn't see each other twice a year.
Su Bai smiled and said: "Uncle, put me down, I have something to tell you", Wang Liu patted Liu Tiezhu angrily and said: "Quickly put down the big cow, the big cow is now a scholar, let the villagers see how undignified", Liu Tiezhu listened, only then remembered what his sister said in her mother's house just now, I couldn't imagine it, and thought that my sister was bragging, and when I arrived in the cattle village, I really saw those people building houses by the river, and I knew that what my sister said was true.
Su Bai smiled after landing on his feet: "What about grandpa?" Didn't you come along? Liu Tiezhu said with a smile: "Your grandfather's health has not been good in the past two years, and he can't stand the rush, I heard your mother say that you have an idea to make a fortune?" ”。
Su Bai smiled, pulled his uncle back to his room, took out a drawing on the table and said, "Uncle, let's see if you can create this kind of thing first?" What Su Bai gave to Liu Tiezhu was the drawing of the still, Liu Tiezhu took it and looked at it and smiled: "This is too easy, it can be built in two days." Su Bai nodded, picked up the drawing of the Quyuan plough again and handed it over.
Liu Tiezhu took it and looked at it, this is a plow, how did he turn the straight wheel into this?
"Uncle, can you build it?" Su Bai asked, Liu Tiezhu nodded, but his expression was a little puzzled, he turned over and looked at the drawings twice and said, "Big Niu, can this plow be used?" Su Bai nodded and said: "Naturally, it can be used, but you still need to find out the problem of the angle, and test it twice, now it is about four months away from spring ploughing, and we still have a chance to experiment."
"But what's the use of this thing? Isn't it very easy to use the straight plough now? Liu Tiezhu didn't understand, why did he change the plow to the way it is now? What's the use of that? Su Bai knew what he was thinking when he looked at his expression, he must be doubting himself, Wang Liu told his uncle that he had a chance to make a fortune, but when he came, he actually changed the plow, and no one would doubt it.
Su Bai smiled, pointed to the drawing of the Quyuan plough and said, "Uncle, this involves mechanics, the straight plough needs to be manually pressed down, and the force is forward." Quyuan plough is force is downward, people just need to straighten the plow", Liu Tiezhu touched his head, still a little incomprehensible, after all, he is a blacksmith not a farmer, he can only repair these farm tools, but he has not thought much about their working principle.
"As long as the angle is found, the curved plough only needs a cow to plow, and you look at the tip of the plow, when the time comes, you can directly turn over the soil, grass roots, etc., and it will die after the explosion of the sun, and the same is true for insect eggs." Seeing that Liu Tiezhu still didn't quite understand, Su Bai didn't know how to explain it so that he could understand, so he pointed to the drawings and said, "Go back and make a sample first, how many days will it take?"
Liu Tiezhu looked at the drawings and said: "If you don't have any requirements for materials, take two or three days", Su Bai nodded, pointed to the ploughshare and said: "This object is best made of steel, even if there is no steel, it is best to use good iron to finish", Liu Tiezhu nodded, some didn't understand, but it doesn't matter, his nephew is now a reader, and there is nothing wrong with listening to the reader.
Su Bai said with a smile: "Uncle, if you make a sample, bring it over to test it, as long as it is done, I will count the money for you until your hand cramps", Liu Tiezhu laughed, obviously he likes to listen to this kind of polite words, well, it is not a polite word.
At noon, Liu Tiezhu ate a meal of mutton at Wang's house, and in the afternoon, Zhuzi's father sent him back to the village to catch up with the Quyuan plough and the still, Su Bai was also completely idle, eating and drinking every day, enjoying the happy life of raising an uncle, Lu Chen hired more than 30 people, and the foundation was being laid in the past two days, and the process of work was very fast, because it was for his own work, under the premise of paying wages, Wang Xing also gave them additional meals, and there was meat for a meal.
The project is also the same every day, Su Bai smirked every day, he found that the prestige value of the system grew rapidly, almost one day at a time, Su Bai was surprised to death on the first day, you must know that half a year has passed, and his prestige value is only a little more than ten thousand, and he spent five thousand, but now it is one or two hundred more overnight, and even three or four hundred in more cases, and it is like this for several days in a row, and now his remaining prestige value is more than seven thousand, and it is almost eight thousand.
Su Bai was very puzzled at first, he didn't understand why he grew so fast, but later he figured out the reason, Liaozhai opened, and people went to listen to books every day, and the prestige value after the story was spread may also be counted on himself, otherwise why would he fix it every day? That's why stories spread so fast.
......
"Your Majesty, the Lantern Festival is coming soon, this year I heard that someone has prepared a big Buddha lamp more than a foot high, this year is also the first Lantern Festival of Your Majesty's Zhenguan, don't you go out to have fun with the people?" , In the quiet Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun gently massaged Li Shimin's temples, the two have been married for 14 years, it can be said that they are close to each other, Li Shimin was still the King of Qin, the two were already husband and wife, from the princess to the current queen, she has experienced too much.
Li Shimin closed his eyes, pillowed on the lap of Empress Changsun and sighed: "I'm not in the mood", Empress Changsun smiled: "Your Majesty didn't say two days ago that someone gave you a big surprise, why are you unhappy now?" Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He solved the problem of war horses for me, but the people take food as the sky, and Qin Tianjian predicts that tomorrow will be the year of great drought!" Empress Eldest Sun touched her belly and said, "Your Majesty ......"
