Chapter 133 Lively construction site
Wei Yuanzhong is an official of the Ministry of Industry, and it is best to arrange the repair of the river embankment in the center, but only he and Di Renjie have mastered the quenching process of steel, and for the casting of farm tools and tools, he can only be busy in the studio with Di Renjie inch by inch.
Wang Xiaojie and Cheng Chubi are responsible for the tempering process.
Wang Xiaojie is a martial artist, usually practicing martial arts every day, not only has the strength of the handle, but also has good physical fitness.
Cheng Chubi was responsible for delivering the farm tools to the river embankment and asking the farmers in Xiahe Village to assemble wooden poles.
The weather is cold, the excavation of frozen soil, hoes, shovels are almost impossible, so the early forging is steel pickaxes.
Just when the four of them were busy, Gao Sheng personally selected a crude steel ingot, asked the four of them to stop the work at hand, he personally did heat treatment for the steel ingot, and then forged the drill bit of Zhuo Tube Well, a round-bladed cone.
In the quenching process of heat treatment of the round-bladed cone, Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong were like two obedient students, watching the old driver on the side.
From time to time, Gao Sheng talked about some quenching experience, and the two also raised some questions from time to time, and Gao Sheng answered them one by one, which benefited the two a lot.
When the quenching treatment of the round blade cone was completed, and then to the tempering treatment, Wang Xiaojie and Cheng Chubi also benefited a lot.
Wang Xiaojie personally forged it according to Gao Sheng's requirements, with a diameter of more than ten centimeters of round-bladed cones, and it was a success.
At this point, all four of them can go out of school, especially Wang Xiaojie, and they can also be used by a blacksmith.
Of course, the requirements for farm tools are not high, and they can be used regardless of whether they are qualified or not, which is better than wooden farm tools.
As for the Shu Da Nan bamboo that Zhuo Tuojing needs, Chang'an City can purchase it, and let the housekeeper Sun Youfu enter the city to purchase it.
According to the principle of leverage, the manpower trampling type of Zhuo Tube Well, Gao Sheng has also been changed, changed to a cow-pulled type, and the old man spent two more times to buy the strong cow for ploughing the land, which also came in handy.
Zheng Guang also brought his helpers, three sons and two daughters-in-law, to prepare and excavate in the courtyard of the Gao family in accordance with Gao Sheng's drawings.
According to Gao Sheng's requirements, there are two wells on the left and right sides of the Gao family's courtyard.
The first well, four squares and one deep, is built with flat bluestone, which is more like a small pond.
Of course, this "well" is used to build a pond.
On the other side, it is the well for water storage, the square is more than one battle, the depth of three battles, all with a flat bluestone to build up, and then at the bottom of the water storage well, only to erect Zhuo tube well facilities, drill a small deep well directly to the underground water vein.
The water storage well is connected to the pond and various domestic water equipment of the Gao family, this design made Zheng Guang amazed, and he was glad that he had learned something, and sighed that the man in Xiahe County was a very human being.
After Gao Sheng forged the round-bladed cone, he handed over the preliminary preparations and equipment installation of Zhuo Tube Well to Zheng Guang's family, but he went to the river embankment non-stop.
The scale of Xiahe Village is not large, nor is it small, hundreds of households, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled, can only make up more than 200 laborers, even the slaves and maids of the Gao family, except for the cook and the housekeeper Sun Youfu, the rest of the people are all on the battlefield.
Even the old man and the old lady came to the construction site with farm tools to help, although the second old man felt the cost of repairing the embankment, but he couldn't bear to repair the embankment is a major event for the whole village, and it was his son who funded the construction, how could he not come and take a look?
It was Tian who was in charge of the cost of repairing the river embankment, and it was Tian's husband Zhang Dazhu who was the main force in digging the earth.
Gao Sheng specially followed Zhang Dazhu's perverted strength, and asked Di Renjie and the four of them to cast a steel pickaxe of more than 30 catties, which was specially used by the perverted Zhang Dazhu.
The front-line young adults in the village each have a lot of strength, although they are not as good as Zhang Dazhu, they should not be underestimated.
These young men all used steel pickaxes as the first echelon of repairing the river embankment.
These young men use their steel picks to dig up the frozen and stiff earth, and then let the second echelon with hoes dig up the loose frozen soil, and then the farmers who use shovels shovel the soil and load it into baskets, and finally it is carried to the river embankment.
The old man and the old lady also worked on the construction site, which made the farmers in Xiahe Village admired by everyone.
The Gao family is very unfortunate, not only paid for the repair of the river embankment, but also the old people and slaves in the family came to work and contribute, and they really have never seen such an owner.
So, while the farmers were working, they talked to the old man, the old lady and the slaves and maids of the Gao family, and there was a happy scene on the construction site.
"Old man, your San Lang has gone out to repair the embankment, you and the old lady are old again, and you are still repairing the embankment with us, doesn't this make the villagers in the village ashamed?"
"That's it, it's good that you and the old lady enjoy the blessings of San Lang at home, and we can finish repairing the river embankment."
"That's it, even if the third brother doesn't come, let's obey him, old man, you should go back with the old lady, tired of your second elder, do we still have the face to see the third brother?"
“……”
Hearing the persuasion of the villagers, the old man turned on a tiger face and said loudly: "Don't mess up those useless things, how good is it to have the strength to do more work?" ”
In fact, the old man's heart was already extremely inflated, but he didn't expect the villagers in the village to care so much about him and the old lady, even if he was promoted to a knighthood, these villagers were not enthusiastic at the moment.
It seems that it is really good to pay for the repair of the river embankment for free...... Well, no, it's a lot of money.
Hearing the surrounding villagers, there was a burst of kind laughter, the old man did not forget to establish his prestige for his son, and said: "Even if my child is promoted, I and the child are still people from Xiahe Village. ”
Tian is educated, and when he heard the old man's words, he knew the old man's intentions, so he said: "The third brother will repair the river embankment for us, which is called 'merit in the world, benefit in the future'." ”
"Yes, yes, the third brother has done this thing 'in the world, and the benefit is in the future'."
The working farmers excitedly echoed Tian's words.
The construction site of repairing the river embankment was in full swing, and no one had come to pay attention urgently, and a team of carriages and horses was parked on the road ahead.
The two got out of the carriage and braved the cold wind to look at the busy construction site from afar.
These two people are Li Zhi and Wang Fusheng, who are dressed in ordinary people's clothes.
Why did Li Zhi open up to Gao Sheng, who was in prison, in fact, Gao Sheng was in the cell of Dali Temple, and he happened to meet Chen Shuozhen's performance, which gave Li Zhi an idea.
The ministers had no good idea of how to appease the people of Jiangnan Province and eliminate Chen Shuozhen's brainwashing, and Gao Sheng's destruction of Chen Shuozhen's "evil art" made him move in his heart and seemed to have opened the trick.
Maybe this naughty Tian Shehan really has some way to solve the problems of Jiangnan Province......
