Chapter 206: Disappearing Coins

'Click'

The sound of wood breaking came from above the waterwheel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info carpenter's face turned white in an instant.

'Boom'

The base twisted and deformed, and finally could no longer bear the weight of the waterwheel, and the whole windmill fell from it.

After smashing on the pedestal, the waterwheel quickly twisted and deformed under the tremendous force of the impact.

Then, in a tooth-aching 'squeak', they scattered and disintegrated, and countless parts were washed away with the river.

The people by the river rushed down and salvaged the planks that had been sawed out with great difficulty, and the carpenter, as if he had lost his soul, sat on the ground with a snow-white face.

"Why! Why! What went wrong? What's wrong? The carpenter pulled his hair and kept saying.

A woman next to her cried out with a 'wow'.

He ran over and kept slapping the carpenter with his hand.

"Don't let you try a second time, you have to not listen, and now it's failed again, how can you let us live!" The woman cried out.

She is the carpenter's mother-in-law. Now the village is not the same as before.

In the previous village, as long as your surname was Wang, then others had a bite to eat, and you would definitely not starve to death. But right now, the village doesn't provide you with food for free.

In addition to Wang Hao, including giants, if they want to live in the village, they need to take out money.

If this second time making a waterwheel is just to ruin their family's wealth, with the carpenter's skills, after completing the daily tasks of the village, they can still find time to help the tribesmen make some gadgets, or it will not be long before they can live a prosperous life again.

However, in order to build the waterwheel for the second time, the carpenter not only cleaned all the household belongings, but even mortgaged his own set of carpenter's tools to the village, not only that, but even the clansmen who had better relations around him were borrowed by him.

Now that it's a failure, even if it is sold to them, it can't pay off the debt behind the ass.

The woman's slap, like a windmill, fell on the carpenter's body, although it looked amazing, but it didn't actually use much strength, it was just a way for her to vent in despair.

The carpenter sat on the ground and did not dodge, he kept staring at his mother-in-law's elbow.

Why is it that a person's arm can keep spinning in a circle, but the wheels of a waterwheel can't spin? Theoretically, there was absolutely no problem with making it himself, but the carpenter really couldn't figure out what made him fail twice in a row.

Pick up a stick of grass from the ground, tie the grass to the stick, and try to make it spin around the stick.

His mother-in-law saw that he was still in the mood to fiddle with these things at this time, and couldn't help but be angry, and slapped the things in his hand to the ground.

The carpenter had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he looked at the sticks and grass that had fallen to the ground in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

It wasn't until his mother-in-law fell on top of him and cried loudly that he suddenly stood up and shouted, "I understand! ā€

Wang Hao, who witnessed the whole process of the waterwheel falling apart, sighed, not everyone is as talented as Gu Mu and himself, cough cough, well, he is indeed not as good as Gu Mu.

Wangcun's foundation is still too thin, especially now when it is changing from public to private, it can't withstand too much profligacy. If you want to cultivate reliable people, the time is still too short.

Just as he was about to turn away, he heard the carpenter's hoarse cry.

Turning around, he looked at the carpenter on the beach, who was pulling the clansmen back one by one, wanting to get their help one last time.

It's just that two consecutive failures have completely made these people desperate for carpenters.

It's better to say that they have a lot of money. But most of them have already taken out all their family funds to support the carpenter, but in the end, the bamboo basket is empty, and they have lost time and family funds. Now that I didn't tear my face with the carpenter, it was already a matter of the past, and now I want them to support the carpenter again, which is simply impossible.

Eventually, except for the giants and carpenters on the beach, even the people who watched the excitement left.

The honest giant did not seem to see that the carpenter had no money left to pay his wages. Wading across the river, I fished back some of the parts that had drifted to the other side and put them on the river.

The carpenter glanced at the giant gratefully, thanked him, and then struggled to pick up some planks and walk towards the village.

His mother-in-law wiped tears from her face, picked up a large plank, and followed the carpenter.

Just as the carpenter was about to enter the village, Wang Hao stood up and blocked in front of him.

"Hao!"

The carpenter shouted softly, lowered his head and looked at Wang Hao without face.

"What's the use of you carrying these planks back?" Wang Hao asked.

"I, I still want to try these planks again, I can make a small windmill smaller, even if it still fails, I can let others learn from my failures in the future." The carpenter whispered.

"Is there a problem with the drawings?" Wang Hao continued to ask.

"No problem."

"What the problem is doing?" Wang Hao asked again.

"I've tried to do the best I can."

"Did you find any reason for the failure?"

"I know!" The carpenter's eyes lit up suddenly.

"There is no problem with the drawings, but it is impossible for anyone to make the things on the drawings, because there can be no slight difference in the size, size, and even quality of each fan blade, and the level of the base cannot be tilted in the slightest. In this way, the waterwheel will definitely be able to run normally. However, no matter what we do, we can't do it so accurately, so once the waterwheel turns, it will tilt slightly towards the low level, which will rub against the base, and then the whole waterwheel will be destroyed. The carpenter spoke, and that was the only reason he could come up with.

Wang Hao felt that what he said made sense, and then asked, "Can you find a solution?" ā€

"Yes, as long as the gap between the rotating shafts is increased appropriately, and then the middle part of the wooden shaft is slightly sanded to make it sag, there will be absolutely no problem for so long." The carpenter spoke.

From Wang Hao's words, he heard a possibility. And he knew that as long as Wang Hao gave an order, the entire tribe would assist him in his third attempt at the windmill.

It's just that Wang Hao's next sentence completely knocked him into the abyss.

"Now every strength of the tribe has to contribute to the construction of Huacheng, and it has to guard against the next invasion of Jiulong Mountain, so there is no extra strength to help you try again." Wang Hao opened his mouth and said.

The carpenter's bloody face just appeared and became pale again, Wang Hao said so, then his ending was completely decided.

"However, I can personally fund you once." Wang Hao said.

The peaks and loops turned too fast, and happiness came too suddenly, and the carpenter didn't know what to say.

"What is a personal name?" The carpenter asked.

"My mother-in-law has saved some money during this time, and I can give it to you to help you build a watermill one last time. If it succeeds, the village will still buy it, and you will have the money to pay off the debt. Wang Hao said.

"Hao! I'm going to make it this time! The carpenter burst into tears of excitement, and even his mother-in-law had a hint of joy on her face.

Wang Hao nodded, and then said, "If you succeed or not, you have to tell yourself." However, if this time fails, the amount of debt you owe is too great, and I will reduce you to a slave, and you will have to spend the rest of your life paying off the debt forever. ā€

"Yes!" The carpenter gritted his teeth.

"Hao, nephew Hao, I beg you not to let him be a slave, in case he fails, I am willing to work every day to help him pay off his debts!" The carpenter's mother-in-law spoke, but before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by the carpenter.

In Wang Hao's view, people are forced, and if you don't force them, you will never know how much potential you have.

This carpenter, he has been trained for a long time, after observation, he is indeed the most talented person in the village, demoted him to a slave, let him go to coolies, Wang Hao is reluctant, after all, he can use too few people.

But if you don't scare him at this time, who can guarantee that he can do his best to build this waterwheel.

"Moreover, this time, I will help you, there are still conditions." Wang Hao continued.

"No matter what the conditions, I will agree!" The carpenter said immediately.

After dinner, Wang Hao looked at the drawings of Hwaseong by the table with a simple oil lamp, and Qian Duo walked in with a happy face covering his chest.

As the patriarch, Wang Hao naturally can't sleep in the thatched hut every day, especially now that the village is full of people from other villages, he is young and needs to establish his prestige even more.

Although he repeatedly felt that none of this mattered, the clansmen were very unanimous in their opinion, and a small single room was separated from the side of the factory.

And Wang Hao also became the first person to live in a brick house after those pregnant women.

Carefully closing the door, Qian Duo happily sat on the bench next to Wang Hao.

One held Wang Hao's arm, and then carefully took away the hand held on his chest.

Several black ironwood coins, large and small, emerged from Qian Duo's hand.

He smiled happily, his eyes were crooked into a crescent moon, and his face showed two small dimples, and he counted the coins in his hand one by one like a little money fan.

This time of day is the happiest time of her day. Not only can he count the day's salary, but he can also hold Wang Hao's arm and sit next to him.

Although Qian Duo is a girl, she suffers more than many men in the clan, and she works three jobs by herself. In addition to making breakfast and spinning linen every day, when everyone was off work, she had to count her supplies and pack up her tools.

So, although she is a girl, she earns more than many men.

After counting several times in a row to make sure that it was correct, Qian Duo showed a sweet smile at Wang Hao, then removed the two bricks blocking the bedside and took out a clay pot hidden inside.

However, at this time, Wang Hao's face became a little unnatural.

Although he is the patriarch, when the salary was set, everyone, including himself, forgot about him, in the eyes of everyone, the entire village belonged to Wang Hao, what was the use of him asking for money.

Therefore, the money in the clay pot was saved little by little, of course, half of it was picked up when she listened to Wang Hao's words at the beginning and cleaned up the dining shed after dinner.

Looking at the empty clay pot, Qian Duo was suddenly stunned. Reaching out and touching behind the bricks, there was nothing behind it.

"That..."Wang Hao grinned, and when he was about to speak, he saw two tears slipping out of the corners of Qian Duo's eyes. (To be continued.) )
