Chapter 105: Enlightenment
Chen Jian returned the sword to Ji Bai, clapped his hands, and someone brought over a bunch of wooden tablets, and everyone gave one out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Delegating work is something that makes you understand the most basic things. But if you can be an official just by knowing these basic things, I won't need you. Since you keep your rank and rank, you will continue to use you in the future after you realize your mistakes to treat diseases and save people. ”
"On this wooden tablet, I wrote a plan according to local conditions as an official of the farm, and I used the farm managed by Manyuan as a model. Now the rules have changed, there are some things that need to be allocated by the Planning and Statistics Division, you need to write down what you are going to do, and the Planning and Statistics Division will review and approve it if it is feasible. ”
"When you are done with the labor reform, you should think about how to build a good farm, use this template to submit it, and the Planning and Statistics Department will approve and consider it feasible, then you will be truly qualified to manage the farm, and then your labor reform will be truly over."
"You all know how to read, and you know a lot of words, so see for yourself."
There was a sound of looking at the wooden tablet below, and Man Yuan opened it and read it carefully, although there was no expression on his face, but he was extremely approving in his heart.
Just as Jian Chen taught these people how to write a plan, the content on the wooden tablet is divided into four parts.
First of all, I wrote about the basic information of the farm, including the number of people, nearby products, and so on.
Then the idea of building a brewery was proposed, and the reasons for its construction: to reduce the import of corn wine, and at the same time to distribute it as a ration to the free slaves at the bottom, so that they would not smoke hemp leaves or gather to make trouble; The residue from fermentation after brewing can be raised to pigs and dogs, and can even be distilled and exported to other towns.
Finally, there is the number of people in the workshops, the output, and the tools and people who can make wine, which need to be reviewed by the Planning and Statistics Division and then allocated some of the staff.
There was not much planning, only the winery, and it was made very clear that the special situation of this autumn when there was a shortage of farm tools and no cattle and horses were transported, so that the people of the farm would not be busy in the fields.
"Have you finished reading?"
"I'm done."
"Xia Cheng has made wine from acorns and vinegar from fruits. You've all drunk it too. Yes, it's been brewed with drinking grain for the past two years, but it's not like you've forgotten it clean after only two years, right? There are so many acorns, deer, fish, you can't see them? Or is it unexpected? ”
"You've been working on the farm for a month, and you know what's going on on the farm. I will give you two days of rest to ponder these things. Once it's written, send it back to the Planning and Statistics Division, and I'll see for myself if you have what it takes to manage so many people! If not, then I can't do anything, at most three years of transformation, if you don't think of it within three years, it can only prove that you are not suitable to be officials. ”
Chen Jian put away his wooden tablet, handed it to Ji Baidao, and said, "Find someone, send it back to the Planning and Statistics Department immediately, let them review and approve, and prepare manpower." ”
Seeing that it was still early, Jian Chen spread his hands and said: "Today is not the end of the decade, and it is not the time to rest, I have prepared all the tools for you, go dig the ditch." Ji Bai, send them over! ”
Reluctantly, they took the tools and stood with the grizzled peasants, bending down to dig the pointless canal.
Before it was late in the night, the black-clad guard who had delivered the letter had returned, carrying the approval of the Department of Planning and Statistics, with a circle of ochre drawn on it, indicating that within two days the tools and people who knew how to make wine would be mobilized.
Chen Jian mobilized the farmers of the village community, cleaned up a big house near the creek, and sorted out the stoves, warehouses, and cellars that were needed. A portion of the people who were digging the canal were recruited to collect acorn fruits.
Two days later, two Chinese people who can make wine came to the village community with four or five apprentices and various tools, and the various wild fruits and acorns collected have also accumulated a lot, and the Chinese people who can make wine are no strangers to these messy non-food raw materials, and they also clearly distinguish which ones need to use koji and which ones are directly added to yeast - acorns need to be decomposed into sugar by adding koji, and wild fruits are directly added with yeast.
In fact, there are many things that can be done near the farm, and a brewing workshop does not need many people, but Chen Jian did not bring it all up, he gave those people a chance, hoping that those people could grasp it. It is impossible for him to be all-encompassing and take care of everything, and in the end he still relies on these officials, otherwise even if he dies of exhaustion, he will govern a city of thousands of people at most.
After a few glances, he didn't wait for the end of the matter here to return to Yucheng, he believed that the people here would do a good job.
The construction of Yucheng is still in progress, but the smelting department with the largest number of people is still doing the work that the construction department has to do, and Chen Jian is not in a hurry.
There is a lot of preparation required to build an iron-making furnace, and even if it is smelted until it is ready, it cannot be mass-produced.
The most basic bricks and stones that can withstand the temperature of iron smelting have not yet been produced, and a canal has been dug near one of the two brick kilns in order to produce refractory green bricks mixed with clay and white sand - unlike red bricks, which need to be watered and smothered by water vapor after firing, and the production cycle is very long, but it is strong and heat-resistant.
In addition, bellows are still being manufactured; Small, waterwheels that do not provide the pull of the bellows at all have been prepared and are being assembled in preparation for larger waterwheels in the future; The prototype of the two structures of crank connecting rod and crank slider has still not been figured out.
The only way to figure out this is acorns, but they are of no use.
Because Xia Cheng's earliest potter's wheel was belt-driven, Acorn's brain seemed to be tied by a belt, and he told Chen Jian about his idea: prepare two potter's wheels with a very small radius, connect them with belts, and tie the handle of the bellows to the belt. Because the radius of the potter's wheel is extremely small, the point where the belt is tied to the bellows can be thought of as a rope that moves back and forth, ignoring the radius.
The form of belt transmission can be seen as the shape of two U figures butted together, and the acorn means to make the distance between the two legs of the two U characters smaller, so that they tend to be close to a line.
In fact, this method is the right idea, even beyond Chen Jian's imagination, the question is how can the friction between the belt and the potter's wheel be greater than the force of the bellows? If it is feasible to change to a geared chain drive, but if Xia Cheng can make a chain now, why bother thinking about these problems.
In the face of the disappointment of the acorn, Jian Chen encouraged a few words, but in his heart he was extremely impressed by that kind of approaching thinking.
Acorns originated from the belt drive that he had been in contact with for too long, and it was difficult to put into practice, but this way of thinking made Chen Jian think of a solution.
He still decided not to come up with the method he had figured out directly, but to do another thing with the help of the small waterwheel he had made, to inspire the acorns, and at the same time to save some manpower for the preparation of winter clothes for the dyeing department.
The two simple connecting rods of the hydraulic hammer were his plan, which was a crank rocker mechanism in mechanical terms.
In layman's terms, it is the pedal structure of an old-fashioned sewing machine, or the hand-cranked stepper on simple fitness equipment in the community in the previous life.
Stepping the pedal up and down, the big wheel of the sewing machine can be rotated through the crank rocker structure, which is nothing more than the opposite, and the arc-shaped fan movement is made by rotating the rocker to produce a reciprocating smashing effect.
This line of thinking is actually in the same vein as the crank slider, one is an arc swing, and the other is a straight reciprocating.
One of the most critical conversion ideas, Chen Jian thinks that Acorn may be able to come up with it: use some method to extend the radius of the arc fan of the joystick indefinitely, while the length of the arc remains the same. Then this arc can be approximated as the secant of this circle, like an infinite sphere on which you cannot feel the arc. The arc motion naturally becomes an approximate straight reciprocating motion.
Of course, through a simple rotating rivet, this infinitely extended radius can be virtualized mechanically, and it exists but does not appear as a physical structure of wood and copper, which is what Chen Jian wants to solve.
His expectation for acorns is to be able to come up with ideas according to the previous way of thinking, even if it is not practical. (To be continued.) )
