、、、、、、、

And this time on the trip, Xiao Tianjian rewarded Ling'er and Die'er for their busyness these days, so he took them with him and went to Shuangfeng Village with Fan Yutong.

After entering the Lotus Village, Ling'er and Die'er, who had never come out again, finally walked out of the Lotus Village again, both of them looked a little excited, sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain from time to time to look outside, and chatting in the carriage along the way, but Xiao Tianjian, this guy, was left out in the cold, let this guy lament that the three women in one play is really true, if he knew earlier, he would not have brought Ling'er and Die'er out, in that case, he could still chat with Fan Yutong along the way, now it's good, The three women got together and whispered to each other, only to hang him aside.

After lamenting, Xiao Tianjian had no choice but to hurry up and rush to Shuangfeng Village, stopping from time to time on the road, going to the fields and chatting with the people who were busy with spring ploughing, and asking them about the difficulties they encountered in spring ploughing.

And it goes without saying that these ordinary people are now grateful to Xingtianjun, as long as they see Xingtianjun, they will immediately kneel down from afar and kowtow to Xiao Tianjian and them sincerely. This made Xiao Tianjian even more convinced that as long as he had the hearts of these people, he would eventually achieve a career in the future.

Although many of the people who gathered here earlier wanted to go home to work because of the spring ploughing, Luo Li brought back a group of displaced people outside Yangcheng a few years ago replaced the work of some local farmers and continued to help build the wall.

The Xingtian Army implements the method of cash-for-work, and only those who work can have food, and those who do not work here cannot eat and drink in vain, so the displaced people do not hesitate to work hard for the Xingtianjun in order to eat, after all, in addition to eating themselves, they can more or less bring back a little bit to their children, at least they don't have to worry about starving to death in the wilderness again.

Therefore, the construction of the walled wall is still continuing, although in less than two months, the walled wall on this side of the Shuangfeng village has begun to see the scale, the main body of the walled wall has been basically the same, as for the work of covering the stone outside, it is also underway at present, and the foundation part has been covered with a stone more than one person high, and it has initially had the ability to resist the enemy.

In this way, the Shuangfeng Village side is much safer, even if Zezhou now sends troops to suppress it, to the Shuangfeng Village side to face the unfinished wall here, it is still necessary to catch the blind.

After entering the village, Xiao Tianjian let Fan Yutong and Fan Ling'er move freely, while he himself went straight to the dam with an iron head, and when they reached the upper reaches of the creek, they found that the first dam here had been completed, and the number of people building the dam had been reduced somewhat, and these people were already starting to build the second dam.

Xiao Tianjian once again expressed his satisfaction with the speed of the project here, and the waterwheel on the first dam has now been installed in place, several carpenters are debugging there, and it has not yet been put into use, and what should this waterwheel be used for, Xiao Tianjian has not said at present, and they have not dared to do it blindly, just waiting for Xiao Tianjian to come here to settle this matter.

After Xiao Tianjian looked at this waterwheel, he saw that the workmanship of the waterwheel was very good, most of them were made of mortise and tenon structure, with few iron nails, but it was very strong, which fully reflected the level of the carpenters, so he said to them: "This waterwheel is very strong, it looks like it should be very durable, since it has been done, then don't be idle, find a way to connect the stone mill, the first waterwheel is used for grinding noodles!" ”

The reason why Xiao Tianjian wants to use the first waterwheel to grind noodles is for a reason, now the Xingtianjun is eating with so many mouths every day, and most of the grain they snatched back is raw grain, whether it is wheat or beans or even sorghum, most of them are to be ground into flour to make cakes, and to supply so many people to eat, they used to rely on manpower or animal power to grind noodles, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, but now if a large water mill is invested, this water mill can run without sleep. In this way, a lot of manpower and animal power can be freed up to do other things.

As for the turbine-type waterwheel designed by Xiao Tianjian himself, the craftsmen are also manufacturing, how to use it, whether it will be more efficient, and can only wait until the second dam is completed, but Xiao Tianjian thinks that this matter cannot be wrong, as long as the craftsmen do not make mistakes in the detailed design and manufacturing, this kind of turbine-type waterwheel will definitely greatly exceed the power that the first wheeled waterwheel can provide.

Then Xiao Tianjian walked towards the back mountain of Tiezuo with the iron head, and before he reached the side of Tiezuo, he heard the clanging sound of iron in the iron from a distance.

When they walked into the iron work, they saw that many craftsmen were still busy building farm tools, although they had built a lot of farm tools in advance, but when they started spring ploughing, there was still a big gap, so after the news was fed back, the iron work did not dare to stop the creation of farm tools, but worked more energetically.

Xiao Tianjian took a cursory look at the farm tools created, although some farm tools were built a little rough, like the work of an apprentice, but for farm tools, such a product can be made as long as it is strong and durable, as for the quality can be slowly improved, Xiao Tianjian plans to continue to build farm tools in the next step, even if he can't use it, he can also sell it to the Fan family, so that the Fan family can sell it to other places in exchange for what they need.

When Xiao Tianjian walked and looked, and walked to the Yang Changshou fire gun workshop behind, it was also a busy scene here, and what made Xiao Tianjian happy was that a lot of semi-finished guns had been created here, and the swarthy half-finished guns were lined up in a large row on the shelf, and there were at least two or three hundred of them at a rough look, and they could be assembled after they were drilled.

At present, the craftsmen here have basically done the division of labor, to achieve the assembly line operation, each person is responsible for the creation of a part, the quality of various parts seems to be steadily improving, which is also the benefit of industry proficiency, as long as it is not stupid to the extreme, every day to create a thing, it is difficult to practice it.

Yang Changshou grinned and accompanied Xiao Tianjian to look at these spare parts with a smile, with a proud face, and picked up some parts from time to time for Xiao Tianjian to check.

After Xiao Tianjian took a cursory look, he immediately asked, "Has the kind of drilling machine I made already been built?" ”

Yang Changshou was even more happy to close his mouth, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Tianjian and said, "It's done, it's done!" Hehe! The general is here, just behind, and the small one specially asked Zhang Whistle to arrange for someone to build a shed for us, which will be used to house this kind of drilling machine! The general will find out if he goes and sees! Hehe! ”

Xiao Tianjian immediately followed Yang Changshou through this shed, and walked into a newly built shed, this shed is very large, with an area of more than 200 square meters, and the main structure is directly built with logs that are not even peeled, which is very simple, but it looks very strong, and the ventilation conditions and lighting conditions are quite good, which makes the air quality here much better than the air quality in the blacksmith shop.

As soon as Xiao Tianjian stepped here, he saw that there were two horizontal manual drilling machines designed by him, and several craftsmen were busy around these two drilling machines.

Xiao Tianjian asked a craftsman here, "Master Qian, how is this drilling machine used?" Do you still have your hands on it? ”

The head of the craftsman surnamed Qian didn't even dare to say it, and then replied: "It's easy to use, it's easy to use!" At first, we couldn't feel the temper of this thing, but after a few days of using it, it was kind of on the road! This thing is indeed much better than our hand drilling, the original we can drill out of a maximum of two suitable pipes a month, now this drilling machine, we can drill out two pipes with a few cooperation, very easy to use! No, in the first few days, Craftsman Yang asked those carpenters to help us build one, and after going back to build a few more, it will be much easier for us to drill the pipe here! This is not! After the drill machine was built and sent over after the year, we have drilled dozens of guns, and there are fewer and fewer scrapped guns, and the small one is discussing with Yang Craftsman, two more people, so that it will be faster! ”

Xiao Tianjian took a look at the two wooden drilling machines, patted the two drilling machines and said: "In the end, the life of this wood is still limited, and the more you use it, the larger the amount, and it will be more convenient soon. As for the wood, let it be made no more! After all, human drive can't provide stable power, and it won't be too easy to use! What does Master Yang think? ”

Yang Changshou nodded again and again, and hurriedly said: "This wood drilling machine is also used now, general, please look at this second drilling machine, these parts with great force, as well as rotating shafts and bearings, the small ones here have been replaced with bronze, so that they are much more durable, this is not I am calling someone to make another set, and the wood parts on the first drilling machine will also be replaced, so that it will be much more durable!" As for the general, if he gets us a hydraulic drilling machine, then we really have to thank the general! We wish we could use the waterwheel to do the work for us! Hehe! ”

Xiao Tianjian leaned down to take a closer look, and if the second drilling machine and the first one have been different, many stressed parts have been replaced by Yang Changshou with iron or bronze, so that the durability is much better, and it is not easy to appear to be clattering, not only that, but even some designs have been changed by the craftsmen, making this drilling machine more easy to use, and I can't help but admire the wisdom of these craftsmen, many things don't need him to think, these craftsmen themselves can also come up with measures to improve, Directly changed his design a lot, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients is also not to be despised by future generations, so he smiled: "It's a good change!" After such a change, some of the original problems of the drilling machine have been solved a lot, and it is much more durable! Good! Good! Very good! As for the waterwheel, you don't have to worry about it, I made the first waterwheel into a water mill, which is specially used for grinding noodles, and the second waterwheel will give you iron as long as it is built, and the waterwheel will be built below, and it will be good for you to turn around! ”

After turning around, Yang Changshou took Xiao Tianjian to their warehouse like a treasure, opened a wooden box, and saw that the five-pole newly made bird guns placed side by side were presented in front of Xiao Tianjian.
