Chapter 708: Man-Machine Competition, What the Hell Is This? (2nd Update)
Chapter 708
Hundreds of years have passed since the Tang Dynasty, but the technology has still not advanced, so this kind of thing will only be cultivated in small quantities in the northwest frontier. But after suddenly hearing that Wang Yang had come up with some magical machinery to solve this problem.
Gao Shi immediately asked his entourage to buy hundreds of catties of cotton and put them in his residence, racking his brains to think about how to remove the cotton seeds.
As a result, for two whole days, there was no clue to the fart, let alone be able to think of a solution to the problem of cotton seeding, so that Gao Shi, who seemed to be humble and cautious on the surface, but was actually arrogant and arrogant, almost took his head to the crack in the door.
Mixed in the crowd, compared to the others, his expression was neither the kind of playfulness that looked lively, but looked very solemn, like a warrior, as cautious and rigorous as when facing a fierce opponent.
At this moment, Wang Daguan, who has two black circles under his eyes like a national treasure panda, is sitting in the hall drinking tea at the moment, and the officials who arrived first have already sat in the hall one after another, and in the hall, at this moment, there are two large and small things that are completely covered by red cloth.
These must be the cotton deseeding that took nearly three days for this Wang Daguan to make, oh no, it is Yuanyou ginning machine.
"You're all here, aren't you? In that case, let's get started......" Wang Yang smiled, stood up, and walked around the field energetically, only then walked up to the two things covered by red cloth, and pulled hard.
All of a sudden, two pieces of red cloth were torn apart, revealing two Yuanyou ginning machines that had not even been painted. "These are the successes that Wang Yang has achieved in the past few days of painstaking blood and sleepless day and night: Yuanyou manpower ginning machine and Yuanyou hydraulic ginning."
These two names were imprinted into everyone's hearts almost at the same time, and Zhi Keshi was the first to jump. Look at these strangely shaped machines. "Lord Wang, listen to the name, one of them needs to be driven by water power, and the other needs to be driven by manpower, right?"
"Yes, this is a ginning machine that can be used only by manpower, come and quickly get a fifty pound of cotton with seeds. Somebody's going to do me a favor and give me a hand. ”
"How can I still let others do it, I have nowhere to use the strength of my body." Zhi Keshi, the old driver who has been cooperating with Wang Yang for a long time, is very swaggering and has a toned posture, which is authentic.
It didn't take much effort, Wu Qilang, Ling Zong and others carried several sacks, which were filled with cotton with seeds. With Wang Yang's instructions, the sacks were opened, and the cotton with cotton seeds was scattered all over the ground.
"Come on, come on, everyone come and see, these cotton are not fake, the seeds in them are difficult to pick, right......" Wang Yang beckoned the officials present to come forward to watch the excitement.
#####
The officials all approached with great novelty, and began to pick up the clumps of white cotton mixed with small fine cotton seeds and look at them in their hands. Some guys even went to the ground to find a way to get the cotton seed out of it.
It soon became clear that even picking it up by hand would be time-consuming and laborious. "No wonder this cotton cloth is sold for such a high price, just picking this thing up, I'm afraid it really takes a lot of effort."
People began to chatter crookedly while holding cotton, and they all expressed their opinions, that is, the deseeding of cotton is indeed very difficult.
"Okay, you have seen and seen, and you also understand that it is very difficult for this cotton to deseed, and now, is there any official who originally had a man-machine competition with this machine developed by this official?"
“…… Man-machine competition, what kind of trick is this? The officials present looked at this spitting star Wang Daguan with a bewildered expression.
"That is to say, on the one hand, a group of people pick cottonseeds by hand, and on the other hand, the two of them are operated by the official and the general Zhi, this Yuanyou manpower ginning machine, let's see, whether it is fast by hand or my machinery is fast."
"Lord Wang, you are so knowledgeable, it must be that your machinery is fast." Needless to say, someone immediately sent a fart to the horse.
"That being said, there is no harm if there is no comparison, cough cough, I mean, if there is no comparison, then how do you know how much advantage this human ginning machine has compared with human power, and whether it is worth investing ......"
With the words of Master Wang, everyone understood what it meant, if the efficiency of this human ginning machine that requires two people to operate is comparable to that of ten seeding mothers, hmm...... Generally, the seeds are removed by hand, and they are all ingenious and patient women.
If it is equivalent to ten seeds, then this machine, in fact, is very chicken, after all, machinery is to spend money to buy, if it is similar to manpower, I am afraid that a considerable number of people would rather be tired themselves, than spend money to purchase such a machine.
Therefore, if you are facing dozens or hundreds of seeded mothers, this machine that only needs two people to operate can easily win.
Then, such a machine will inevitably become the first choice of merchants, two people and one machine, and the cost of hiring a hundred seeded girls, even illiterate old farmers can calculate which is more profitable.
"Lord Wang, this is not good, all of you are fine people, and you have never done this business, it is better that you don't need to do it, why don't you let Wan Mou recruit twenty seeded girls in the city to compete with this Yuanyou ginning machine?"
Seeing Wan Bin, who was eager to try, Wang Yang thought about it, after all, these officials were afraid that they were not willing to make a fool of themselves. "In that case, it is according to Brother Wan's words. Come, send a messenger to recruit twenty seeded girls in the city, the faster the better. ”
Soon, a group of capable errand servants immediately rushed out, shouting through the streets and alleys, and some of them were clever, and went straight home to call their mother-in-law and the old lady to come to the game together.
Wang Yang and the others couldn't wait for the tea, and twenty seeded mothers in their early twenties to their fifties gathered here.
Wang Yang got up, and after soothing these nervous seed-taking mothers with a kind face, he personally promised that as long as they could win, one person would be rewarded with five yuan.
The seeded girls who were still a little nervous heard this, and one or two suddenly had a bright eye, and their fighting spirit was monstrous, and they had already thrown their nervousness and fear behind them.
Soon, Zhi Keshi lifted the front of the official robe, rolled up his sleeves, and began to move his arms full of bulging muscles, and the corners of Wang Yang's eyes stood up. "I said, brother, what do you want to do?"
"Prepare for the event, don't worry, this thing, with the strength of breaking someone's arms to open a four-stone bow, will definitely be able to pull fast." Zhe Keshi is also very proud.
Wang Yang's face darkened, and he glanced at this product angrily. "Brother, you'd better try it with only one-fifth of your strength, this thing doesn't need a strong man like you to do it all at all."
Suspicious, he began to push the lever of the manpower ginning machine. Originally, I thought I was going to use the strength to breastfeed, but I couldn't help but look a little confused. "I said, Lord Wang, is this pole too light, I didn't even use my strength......"
"That's because Wang added a force-reducing component to it, don't say it's you, it's a delicate seeding girl, and you can easily drive this manpower ginning machine." After Wang Yang explained helplessly, Chong nodded to Gao Shi, who had already volunteered to stand up as a referee.
