The Bei family did not have much pride on their faces, because all the patterns and sizes were provided by Li Yi.

Their greatest contribution is to combine one by one in strict accordance with the design process and precision carpentry technology.

Therefore, the Bei family was very nervous at this time, and everyone knew the possibility of future development and growth, but the premise was that the products that were trial-produced needed to be recognized by Li Zhi, the actual designer.

And then it has to be verified on the windy and rough HNA sea, although they all think that the drawings provided by Li Zhi are ahead of the times, but after all, the design concept and practical application are two different things.

Even so, those carpenters and craftsmen have already regarded Li Zhi as a celestial being, because they have seen too many previously unknown effects of wooden mechanical principles.

For example, for the cylindrical mast, Li Zhi designed the simplest wooden machine tool for them during the three days he stayed in the woodyard before.

This lathe, which was considered to be the oldest in later generations, had only two fixed parts, which were sandwiched by a rope wrapped around the shaft, which was pulled by a bent branch to drive the shaft to turn.

The craftsman uses a chisel against the wood that is rotated with the hinge, and the wood can be processed into a cylindrical shape.

Li Zhi personally got started, including the rapid disassembly of the detachable parts, which is quite important, if the windmill breaks down in the wind and waves, without the function of the original mast on the ship, the ship struggling in the storm and huge waves will lose the heading power.

After disassembling and then assembling, another operation attempt, Li Zhi, who had always been dignified, finally smiled.

In addition to this set that has been installed, there are two other spare sets, and after checking them one by one, he said:

"Under the current conditions, the windmill is already perfect, and the key components must be prepared in advance while being installed on the ship, so that it can be foolproof!"

Bei Pin, who is over seventy years old, will order all Li Zhi's opinions at this moment, and there will be someone to handle this matter.

At the beginning of the development, Bei Pin disregarded his advanced age, almost every day in the wood yard, and now he, a layman, also knows a lot about any part.

Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, tomorrow is the New Year, but he knows the production cycle of key components, so after instructing him, he raised the issue of time urgency to Li Zhi.

Of course, Li Zhi knew that the craftsmen also needed to go home for the New Year, and the time was not allowed.

It's just that he had a plan in his heart, so he went straight to the carpentry room and recruited a master surnamed Mu who was already familiar with him to explain the transformation of the lathe to him in detail.

At present, the most primitive lathe, since the craftsmen have mastered it, he can further improve the efficiency.

The principle is very simple, that is, on the basis of the original pure manual lathe, it is improved to be driven by a foot pedal.

It is nothing more than adding a belt and several linkage wheels, so that the reciprocating motion can be completely transformed into a semi-automatic rotational motion.

Don't underestimate a seemingly extremely simple addition, but it can produce a dozen or even dozens of times more efficient improvement.

After Master Mu drew the structural diagram by Li Zhi's hand, he looked at him again and his eyes were already blazing.

Li Zhi smiled and ignored the worship of this person, this is where to go, in the future, with the continuous refinement of the forging process, the parts can be changed to metal casting.

Of course, before the power generation was realized, the flange that fixed the workpiece and the sliding turret that fixed the tool still needed to be manually controlled.

However, the lathe composed of metal casting components has higher machining accuracy and more durability.

However, Li Zhi estimates that he can stay in the current world for another twenty or thirty years at most, and their further development is not visible.

After more than an hour of verification one by one, the first sail windmill fully met his design requirements, and the use effect was well known.

The most ingenious thing about this vertical windmill is that the direction of the sails is automatically adjusted during the operation of the windmill, which not only greatly increases the speed, but also ensures more safety during navigation.

He was also very eager to see the effect of the transformation, and when he saw Fu Chen hurriedly leading Rahman, Nasser and others to come, he immediately arranged relevant matters.

The craftsmen of the Beijia shipyard were anxiously waiting on the side early in the morning, and after receiving the order, they went to the warehouse to carry the spare windmill very quickly.

The windmill erected on the platform in front of you needs the crew to come and get familiar with the disassembly and assembly process, and the modified windmill of Shengjing Zero is a set of spare parts.

Li Zhiyan looked at Bei Yun, the head of the Bei family:

"Tell the masters that each of the specific participants will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and after a few months, HNA will pass the verification and there will be another reward! The other masters of the carpentry yard will also have ten taels of silver, so let everyone have a good year this year! ”

Bei Yun was so excited that he turned around and shouted out Li Zhi's command, and the entire woodcraft yard was full of people for a while, and the cheers were endless.

One hundred taels of silver was a huge amount at that time, and even if these craftsmen had regular jobs, even if they did not eat or drink, they could not save one hundred taels in ten years.

And the ten taels of silver of the ordinary idle workers in the woodwork yard is also the total income in two years, which is equivalent to a small fortune for many poor families who can spend a few hundred dollars on the New Year.

So after the excitement, everyone is more motivated, looking at their positive momentum, it is not much different from shouting the trumpet.

Li Zhi declined Bei Pin's plan to give out this silver, there were a total of one hundred and ten people in the woodware field, and less than 20% were eligible for 100 taels of silver, and 5 or 6,000 taels of silver were really not worth mentioning to him.

He didn't follow him to the boat, sensing Beipin's eagerness, so he took the old man back to his residence.

At this time, lunch was still in progress, because the big purchase of seafood sent by Bei Yun to the port was learned by the families.

In the two hours that Li Zhi left, these people invariably sent rare things in their hands.

Someone gives gifts, of course, they can't let people go home empty-handed, so more and more people are left to drink.

In addition, tomorrow is the New Year, and those foreign officials from the city were also called here by Gongwei early, and with the arrival of Mi Rui and Zhang Hongyu, the original ordinary luncheon actually formed a grand party.

Seeing that it was bound to be connected with the dinner, Li Zhi shook his head with a wry smile, looking for an opportunity to pick up several other ladies and children.

Originally, the arrival of Mi Rui, Zhang Hongyu and others was to remind the guests of the Western Regions that according to the customs of the southern Tang Dynasty, there will be a city-wide parade of floats from tomorrow.

In other words, from this time on, even if it is the most lively time in the whole year of Datang.

Moreover, the number of vacation days of Datang was a big step ahead of the world at that time, not only with ten days off and one day off, but also with various named holidays.

As for the big holiday, there were also two Golden Weeks at that time, that is, Yuanzheng and Winter Solstice, each giving seven days off.

For example, there are naturally single-day holidays in the New Year, so since the beginning of the year, the supply of New Year's goods from all over the country has also been continuously transported by land.

Why have those female dependents been tired of this recently, as early as half a month ago, these foreign New Year's goods or carts, camels, horses, or donkeys have appeared frequently.

Xiao Nian is the official opening day of the big market in Guangzhou, accompanied by almost every street, every village to form a parade of flower tea, through the streets and alleys, countless small merchants and hawkers have also occupied the streets and alleys.

In the one hundred and thirty-six lines, of course, there is no shortage of tricks, so if you want to understand the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of big gatherings in the next year are undoubtedly an excellent embodiment period.

Because of the news brought by Mi Rui and Zhang Hongyu, the guests of No. 100 were happy, and the joy of the host and guest was generated.

At this time, the rainy weather began to clear up, and I don't know who suggested it, and a bonfire was lit in the courtyard again.

However, most of the people in the Western Regions gathered in the lobby of the front hall, listening to the local officials brought by Mi Rui talk about the Spring Festival, which caused bursts of surprise from time to time.

Even if Li Zhi was on the side, he listened to it with relish, and at this moment someone was talking about the Spring Festival Gala of Datang.

In fact, there were only acrobatic performances by large-scale entertainers in this era, most of which were fish and dragon manyan, rope walking, Tibetan illusion, etc., and people at that time celebrated the New Year in this form.

To put it bluntly, it is an organized expansion of the behavior of performing arts, and of course, the artists invited are all leaders in the industry.

China has always been a typical East Asian agrarian society, and because of its agricultural foundation, it has the most affection for the season of "spring".

The beginning of spring, or Spring Festival, is generally considered to be the most important festival in ancient times, so there are many related folk cultures, and they vary according to the age and region.

For example, firecrackers, sticking Spring Festival couplets, wearing new clothes and other popular customs that have been handed down to this day are not to mention, in the territory of Guangzhou, special attention is paid to the street performance of floats and dragon and lion dance teams.

Like cultivators, they all have their own skill inheritance, so the competition between the various teams is also indispensable.

The dragon and lion fighting scenes on the streets will continue from the beginning of the year to the Lantern Festival.

Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, the streets are always crowded with people, and people have leisure and savings, which is a good time for leisure and entertainment for people who usually have the rare energy to completely relax.

From Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day, there are many lion dance teams going door-to-door to ward off evil spirits and ask for money.

The lion dance team should have at least five people, one leader, one with a long three-toothed fork, two lion dancers, two gongs and drums, drumming in the back, and gongs in front.

Because the lion dance is a physical work, and people have to be replaced after a few hours, so the lion dance team is generally about ten people.

When the lion dance team entered the door, the leader went first, and the lion stepped on the sound of gongs and drums and danced triumphantly in, and the gongs and drums and others were outside.

The team leader and the host said some auspicious words to congratulate the New Year, all things are successful, and the New Year is lucky, and the host takes the prepared red envelope to the team leader, and then lights a pack of firecrackers and throws it at the feet of the lion.

At this time, the lion dancer should dance the lion hard, and the lion head should be raised high and dance for a short time.

Finally, the lion bowed his head and bent down, following the rhythm of the gongs and drums, and slowly went out of the house one by one, and then went to the next house.
