111 is busy at both ends

The craftsmen were very powerful, and according to the requirements of the little second brother, they quickly made the most basic components. Li Chengqian www.biquge.info who wrote "Fun" looked at the things on the ground, and didn't know what it was.

Xiao Er took matters into his own hands and beckoned people to put the components together one by one according to his requirements. Soon, a square wooden box without a lid was put together.

Different from the boxes you usually see, this wooden box has a large mouth and a small bottom, and it is funnel-shaped. Xiao Er asked someone to put the remaining components together one by one, and at this time, the general appearance had already come out.

The wooden box is placed in a square wooden frame, just enough to be stuck, and there are two acquainted wooden sticks on the left and right sides of the wooden frame to support them downward, and two wooden sticks sticking out flat on one side of the wooden frame, which can be used as a handshake.

Xiao Er looked at the two craftsman leaders and asked them to take two wheels that were going to be installed on the wooden ox, and install them from the two supports under the wooden frame, and the cart was completed.

Seeing that the little second brother quickly made a strange-shaped car, Li Chengqian scratched his head and asked, "This is the good thing you said?" ”

Xiao Er smiled and didn't talk to him, but beckoned the two craftsman leaders to find something to put in the body, and some of the best things were the best.

A craftsman went straight to the door, came in with several large stones, and put them all in. Xiao Er saw that it was almost there, so he found someone to come over and shake his hand, and told him to try to push forward.

The man looked at so many stones, and this little second actually asked him to push the cart by himself, and hesitated. Li Chengqian was anxious to know what Xiao Er was going to do, so he directly ordered the man to push, but there was no way to do it, so he had to go up and try it.

How do you know that the man who grabbed the handshake and worked hard all over his body, for fear that he couldn't push the man suddenly pushed the car almost overturned, and finally controlled it, the man himself was a little surprised, tried again, this time it was much smoother, pushing a cart full of stones as if flying around the yard in a circle.

Now everyone was stunned, it was a big stone in a car, although the car was not too big, but the weight of the stone was definitely not light, not less than four or five hundred catties!

Even the most powerful person can't be so easy to push and walk, that can only show one thing, this car is magical, it can make things very light.

Xiao Er looked at everyone's expressions, shook his head and said, "If any of you still want to try, go and try it, as long as it's not a child, adults won't have a hard time pushing it." ”

As soon as Xiao Er finished speaking, a few people who thought they had some strength went up to grab the car in the man's hand, Xiao Er ignored them and turned to Li Chengqian's side and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"How did you do that?" Li Chengqian was a little puzzled.

Xiao Er shrugged his shoulders and said: "Some truths are not something that you can understand after telling you, let's put it this way, it is because there is a wheel underneath, and the wheel is round, which will be very labor-saving." ”

"Wouldn't it be very labor-saving for the wooden ox to press the wheel?" Xiao Zhengtai is still haunted by his wooden cow, which makes Xiao Er's face constipated.

"Well, you're right, it's true that a wooden ox that presses the wheels will save effort, but that's a limit. For example, if a person can pick up a stone weighing 1,000 catties, it must be easy to pick up a small stone, but on the contrary, if he can pick up a small stone, he may not be able to pick up a large stone weighing 1,000 catties. ”

Xiao Er pointed to the wooden cow and said: "That is equivalent to a big stone, the car is like a stone, and the wheel is that person." Don't think it's labor-saving to load it on a small car, it's definitely still laborious to load him on a wooden ox. ”

Li Chengqian didn't seem to understand, but he still trusted the little second brother, and nodded: "Okay, then what can you do with such a small car?" You can't pull much at once! ”

"Is your head made of wood?" The little second brother's broken mouth began again.

"If you can't fit a lot of cars, won't you build more? Don't you see that there are very few materials needed to build a car, and the time is short, the most important thing is that one person can operate one, isn't it more practical than your wooden cow? Also, come and see! ”

The second brother suddenly seemed to be very excited, and he walked quickly to the tricycle, asked the carpenter to take off the two wheels, and then put one of them to the bottom of the body, used a round wooden stick as an axle, fixed the wheel, and beckoned the man who had just pushed the cart again.

Then he asked him to load all the stones into the cart, told him to grasp the direction, and then told the man to push the wheelbarrow and began to walk in the yard.

At first, the man really couldn't eat the direction, and almost overturned two or three times, but fortunately, the man himself also had the strength to handle it, and finally made a smooth transition to being able to find a pattern.

At this time, the man also thought it was very interesting, the two wheels were stable, but he didn't expect one wheel to be used like this. Xiao Er took three or four slender wooden strips from the side and placed them neatly in the middle of the yard.

He said to the man: "These wooden strips are mountain roads, remember, the places outside the wooden strips are all cliffs, I now ask you to push the cart through the mountain road from that side, come to me, you try to walk around." ”

The man thought it was funny, nodded, turned the car around, and walked up the wooden mountain road. At first, I was a little worried, once I got out of the wooden bar, I would fall off the cliff, but after a few steps, I felt that there was no such worry at all, as long as the arms were strong and I could control the car steadily, it was basically impossible to fall off the cliff.

In this way, the speed was a little slower, and he walked over the wooden mountain road very smoothly, and smiled in front of Xiao Er.

Xiao Er looked at the honest man and nodded slightly: "Yes, well done." ”

Only then did he turn to Li Chengqian and said, "Prince, you said that if you encounter this kind of mountain road, will your wooden ox be able to transport things?" Even if it could be transported, how much chores would it take and how much time would it take? That's why I say that you are also a kind of admiration for the wisdom of the ancients, and I am an innovative thing on the basis of the wisdom of our predecessors. ”

Li Chengqian witnessed that tricycles and unicycles were much stronger than wooden cows, so he also nodded and said, "What the little second brother said is that I am too stubborn. ”

Xiao Zhengtai said this to the little second brother sincerely, Li Xiaoer's more excited emotions just now disappeared all of a sudden, and he secretly sighed, even he couldn't figure out why he was so excited just now, and it was really a little out of place to think about it now.

"Okay, you should have seen what you did just now, my suggestion, you'd better ask them to make a few more, and when the time comes, you can disassemble and assemble it in person in front of Your Majesty, maybe the effect will be better than your wooden cow!" The little second brother leaned into Xiao Zhengtai's ear and whispered.

"Well, just listen to the second brother." Xiao Zhengtai also felt that the tricycle made by Xiao Er was much better than his own.

In fact, if it were according to Li Xiaoer's idea, it would be made directly into a pedal tricycle, but unfortunately the chain bearing could not be made in this era, maybe it would be invented from his hands in the future, but it would never appear at this time, so I had to make the simplest.

Seeing that Xiao Zhengtai looked eager to try, Xiao Er told him to arrange the craftsmen to do it himself, and he had to go back to his shop to see how far the distillation vessel had become, so he said goodbye to Li Chengqian and returned to the store with two followers.

Qin Huaiyu stayed in the shop all the time, watching the craftsmen ordered by Xiao Er busy there. At first, I could understand a little bit on my own, but then I basically opened my eyes and became blind.

As soon as Xiao Er came in, he saw that a large steamer had begun to take shape, and there were three craftsmen polishing it there. In addition, there are piles of bamboos on the ground, and I don't know where they found so many bamboos in this weather, but it looks quite fresh anyway.

Seeing Li Xiaoer come in, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly walked over.

"Little second brother, where have you been? I was looking for you just now, but I didn't find it. ”

"I'm going to see how the prince is doing, it's okay, it's basically fine, won't I come back?" Xiao Er said as he walked to the side of the steamer and took a closer look at the interface, fortunately, the craftsmanship of these three craftsmen is really good, basically there are no obvious traces, as if they were pressed out by a machine.

When the three craftsmen saw that Xiao Er was watching, they all got up a little nervously.

Xiao Er smiled: "The craftsmanship is exquisite, not bad, let's continue." I need craftsmen like you here in the future, and if you think it's okay, stay and work with me, and I won't treat you badly. ”

As he spoke, he said to everyone: "You are the same, you are good at your craft, and you want to stay to say hello to me." ”

From the moment the craftsmen began to come in here to talk to Li Xiaoer, they felt that Li Xiaoer, a young master and brother, had no shelf, especially since people seemed to know more about the work of carpentry and blacksmithing than they did.

Now the things made according to other people's methods are not only good-looking, but also very fast, but I don't know if it is durable to use, and whether it will be happy when the salary is settled, so after Xiao Er finished speaking, although everyone did not express their position immediately, they still had some intention in their hearts.

In this era, the people living at the bottom basically have no living security, not to mention them, even those small officials in the yamen, if they don't catch up with the new construction of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that they will not have a salary for several months.

Xiao Er understood their thoughts and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I won't force you, and I won't drag your wages, hurry up and work, after a long time, you will know who I Li Xiaoer is." ”

Then he turned to the dog and said, "Now you go over there to find the prince, just tell him what I told him in the morning about taking the money, and ask him to prepare more for me, and send it over later." ”

The dog took the order, and Xiao Er turned around and said, "After today's work, I will pay you today." But the ugly words are ahead, what I asked you to make, this world is also unique, if anyone dares to leak out, or make it privately and sell it to others, you also weigh it, just now I asked someone to go to the prince to get money, you know it yourself, I won't say anything. Let's work! ”

The little second brother finally used the prince to scare these craftsmen, turned around and took Qin Huaiyu and Bao'er into the account room. (To be continued.) )
