Qu Yuanli's drawings, Lin Sen directly arranged for Xi Jun to buy them and send them to Cheng Yanjin, before this thing was learned, it was true to get the benefits first, and by the way, he could show how selfless his love for Datang was, how loyal he was to Li Shimin, and he could also elevate his status in Li Shimin's mind, and show his value more. Of course, the main thing is to get yourself some more rewards, and this quyuan plow can be regarded as completely effective.
Who made this thing too easy to be imitated, there is actually no technical difficulty in itself, the main thing is whether you can think of it, and Datang will not have any technical patents, people can understand that they made it, and you can't help others.
Therefore, it is better to hand it in early, but it can determine the name of the inventor of this Quyuan plow, and we will have another deed that is enough to be famous for eternity.
Since he had a clear plan and was not afraid of being imitated, Lin Sen simply sent this pattern, along with a limited number of physical objects, to the Zhuangzi of several close people such as the Cheng family and the Qin family.
Everyone is busy with spring ploughing, there is this thing, it will definitely be able to improve a lot of efficiency, even if it is pulled by people, because of the relationship between torque, this curved plough is much more energy-saving than the original straight plow, and the improvement of ploughing efficiency is also immediate.
This is also a good way to quickly close the relationship between several Zhuangzi, after all, they all attach the same importance to farming, when the root of the life comes to see, there is this convenience to send, of course they miss Lin Sen's a good ah.
Coupled with the love of the helpers who often came to help build the house in the past, between the Zhuangzi of the Lin family, there is really a tendency to move around as relatives, in short, it is extraordinary closeness, after the thief, several Zhuangzi must help each other.
After squeezing out all the surplus value of this curved plough, Lin Sen began to think about what else he could do to help his farmers further improve their production efficiency, and at the same time, he could consolidate the loyalty of the farmers and raise his own image and status in the minds of the farmers.
After walking around this circle, he can be regarded as having a clear understanding of his two large pieces of land, and now he can completely regard them as one, and it can be said that the entire mountain has become Lin Sen's own.
Most of the higher places on the mountain are planted with various fruit trees, such as peaches, apples and pears, which can be seen here, and the mountainside begins to go down, and the more stable the area, the more it is naturally used as crops.
The stream that almost surrounded the entire mountain provided too much convenience for Linjiazhuang's life and work, and also allowed Lin Sen to dig a tributary out and turn it into the moat of the tulou, which happened to circle around the tulou.
To say that it is indeed much more convenient to get water than many lands far away from the river, which makes this large area of land extraordinarily expensive, it is understandable that the monks of the pagoda temple attached so much importance to this land at that time.
It can be said that Lin Sen has really made a lot of money when he gets these two rewards, which is also an important reason why he always thinks of offering good things like curved plows and horseshoes.
It's not just that he is afraid that he won't be able to keep it and that he won't be able to eat alone for a long time, but more importantly, because Li Shimin is really generous enough, Lin Sen didn't suffer any loss by selling these to the emperor's family, so his enthusiasm is so high.
However, after Lin Sen really felt the process of taking water, especially considering the irrigation problem of those fruit trees, he felt that it was still not convenient enough.
You fetch some water from the foot of the mountain, and you go all the way to the top of the mountain, and so on countless times, only to finish watering once, and if you are in time for the summer when the evaporation is at its highest, what a part of the work?
Therefore, it is very inconvenient and tiring to expect to carry water, even if it is changed to an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart to pull water, it will not save much, and it will have to go back and forth.
So Lin Sen easily thought of a thing that can often be seen in various scenic spots and resorts in later generations, that is, waterwheels!
It's just that considering that what is needed now is to send water from low to high places, it is obviously larger, and the same water transport is also larger, and the design is more reasonable, so it has become the best choice.
The temporary use of animal power was not necessary, and it was also undesirable to use a high-speed drum car that was more suitable for the high and deep conditions of the field, so Lin Sen chose the most common water-powered style in later generations.
There is a large bamboo forest not far from Zhuangzi, as long as you find those big bamboos that are strong enough and have not been planted in bamboo leaves and green wine, and cut them down for use.
In addition to the bamboo tubes tied to the wheels, you need to pay attention to the angle problem, and then grasp the radius of the entire main wheel, to ensure that there is a length of more than half a meter to one meter, it will be immersed in the stream, and the base responsible for supporting is strong enough, this thing can actually run smoothly for many years.
Finding a place where the water is turbulent and the relative position is higher, Lin Sen led a group of villagers with great strength and fine work, and slowly built this particularly tall cylinder car.
Naturally, some of the farmers are in charge of laying the water troughs and directing the water flow into the suitable fields. Then make small ditches in the field, and an automated irrigation system will take shape.
Under the gaze of all the villagers, Lin Sen pulled out the long pole that prevented the cart from starting, and under the impact of the water, the huge cart started slowly, and the long bamboo tube soaked in the water was filled with cool stream water, and was gradually taken to a high place, and then just poured the stream water in the belly into the sink. Slowly, the stream flowed down the trough into the fields, moistening the soft, fertile fields that had just been ploughed.
The farmers who witnessed the whole process all began to cheer, and some were chanting "master" to express their gratitude to Lin Sen.
"It's really the first time I've seen such a good family master, I've never heard of anyone who can do our family master's job before."
"Why does the head of the house always have so many good ideas, how is this head long?"
"It's really right to follow such a family master."
"The head of the house is mighty!"
There are various theories, but it is clear that Lin Sen wants to further subdue the loyalty of these bankers and achieve the goal of raising his image.
It's a pity that this excitement didn't last long, and a member of the team who stayed behind rushed over and whispered bad news in Lin Sen's ear, the group of bandits they had been worried about had begun to assemble!
