Chapter 100: Cylinder Car
"Alright, brothers, cheer up and get to work." Li Shan was full of energy early in the morning.
Coming to the terraces of the Miao family again, Li Shan has a lot of confidence this time, after all, he has a helper. "Who wants to fix a tube car, it's free." Li Shanle stood at the top and shouted loudly.
No one cares about Li Shan at all, I have long expected it, is Li Shan the kind of person who doesn't do anything if others don't care?
"Hey, Uncle Egesey, you don't mind if I build a cart on your side." Of course, a good thing must be cheap first, Li Shan looked at Uncle Yigexi's eyes as if he was a foodie seeing a full banquet of the Manchurians.
"You'd better find another home, don't make trouble in my field." Uncle Yige didn't want to have too much contact with Li Shan, and the villagers were all watching.
Li Shan smiled: "Uncle, you said it well yesterday, as long as I can build it myself, I won't stop you, you can't talk and don't count." After speaking, it doesn't matter whether Uncle Yigexi agrees or not, he will do it directly, Li Shan knows that if he continues to be entangled, he will have every result, so it is better to come directly.
The drawings have been designed a long time ago, and the wood is also made by Li Shan and asked Zhuo Cheng to go to Luzhou City to find a carpenter master, and the rest is to lay the foundation, assemble, and connect. Li Shan sat leisurely on the top of the mountain and watched Zhuo Cheng and a few brothers busy.
"Brother, eat this." Li Yunshu very obediently got some fruit for Li Shan, hehe, it's so good, I haven't enjoyed being served for a long time, Li Shan picked up a peach and put it in his mouth and took a bite. Well, cool!
"Brother, why are you building this thing?" Li Yunshu pointed to the tube lane that had not yet been formed.
Li Shan pointed to this terraced rice field and said with a smile: "You see, such a large area of terraced fields, but people don't know how to use irrigation facilities like drum trucks, if we have the ability to help these people, then we are duty-bound." The more people you help, the stronger you will become. My brother will teach you everything I know in the future, and you will also become a person who can help others, a strong person. ”
Li Yunshu nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Well, I understand." However, brother, aren't you really doing this for Sister Xue Ling? You see, the Miao and Han clans have a lot of grievances, and you have a chance to marry her only if you please her, right? ”
Li Shan was eating peaches, and when he heard Li Yunshu's words, he almost choked to death by the peach pit. Fortunately, this peach pit is relatively large, otherwise Li Shan would probably become the first person to be choked to death by the peach pit.
"Why do you say that?" Li Shan was very surprised, how could Li Yunshu know his true thoughts, very few people knew about this matter, Uncle Agung could see that Li Shan was not unusual, but Li Yunshu, a child, could see it, is my purpose so obvious? Can everyone see it?
"I just saw the way you looked at Sister Xue Ling, and the way Xue Ling looked at you was very similar to the look in Sister Ruyan when she talked about you. So I thought, do you like Sister Xue Ling. Li Yunshu said naturally.
Li Shan took a fresh look at Li Yunshu, this little girl can see so many things from people's eyes, she is a prodigy. Li Shan was really incredible, and dragged Li Yunshu over and said, "Well, this matter must be kept secret, and you can't tell anyone else." I found that Yun Shu is really getting smarter and smarter. Come, reward, eat a peach. ”
Li Yunshu was very happy to receive Li Shan's praise, took a bite of the peach and said, "Yunshu is very well-behaved and won't talk nonsense." This matter has been said for a long time and will not work, and the villagers must think of it themselves. ”
Li Shan is a genius, that's right.
It took another half a month, and the cylinder car was loaded. Simply relying on the force of the water flow can drive the drum car to rotate and directly send water to the terraces. Uncle Egsi saw that the water in his terraced fields was always full, and he didn't have to bother to carry water at all, and his heart was both happy and worried. I'm happy that I don't have to carry water every once in a while, but I'm worried about what the villagers will think?
Li Shan had already prepared to choose Uncle Yigeshe's terraces, but Li Shan was thoughtful, not just to honor his father-in-law. Uncle Yigesi's terraces are at the top of this area, and if Uncle Yigesi's terraces are full of water, they can actually put water down, so that other families can naturally enjoy the benefits of the road tube. But Li Shan naturally won't tell the truth, so they will leave these things to find out for themselves.
It's been a great day and I've been here for so long. Li Shan decided to go to Luzhou City for a walk, firstly, to distract himself, secondly, to see the affairs of the tea merchants, and thirdly, to give the villagers a chance to understand the cylinder car.
When Li Shan was here, the Miao family had a good face and would definitely not use the cylinder car, but Li Shan didn't teach them how to stop the cylinder car, so that the water would soon come out, and it would be up to them to use the remaining water then.
"You see that the water in your field is coming out, and it is a pity that it is so flowing, and the road is all slimy, or you can dig a ditch in your field and come to me, and I will help you share a little." An uncle next to Uncle Igsy shouted.
Uncle Egersy hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll just pass the water." Uncle Yigesey agreed happily, as if it was not water, but a burden on his heart. And the family naturally won't say anything, who doesn't want the strength of this white province. The uncle sat leisurely in the field, watching the water gurgling and thinking, "I am using the water of Yigesi, not the water of the cart."
Soon, the uncle also had more water in his field, and the people below him shouted: "Hey, I'll get some water in your field, you won't be able to use it anyway." "The uncle is still happy, it's a waste if he can't use it anyway, how good it is to give favors.
In this way, the people on this hillside did not have to carry water in a few days, and the transportation capacity of this cylinder car was comparable to that of more than a dozen young men, and it was working day and night.
Although people didn't say anything on the surface, they already understood the benefits of this tube car in their hearts. People are very silent about this thing, as if this cylinder car fell from the sky.
The other Miao people on the slope were not happy, "Look at the people over there, they don't have to carry water with that cart, they are leisurely sobbing their eyes there, but we are tired and tired here." It's all you, when the Han kid said that I would let you go when he repaired the car, but you refused to go, but now it's okay, look at people's greed. A Miao woman complained to her husband, who could not refute it, but could only bear it.
"Hey, do you think we should also learn from others to make a cylinder car, this is a method once and for all. You see, there are more than a dozen families in our area, let's save money to make materials, and get him a cylinder car. I see that it only took them more than ten days to make this thing, and it was very simple. ”
This proposal immediately reached the unanimous agreement of everyone, that is, why can we only watch, what you Han people can make, we Miao people can do the same, and do it better than yours. Isn't it just a few pieces of wood nailed up, like a wheel, simple. Several families arranged manpower, saved up the money, and prepared to go to Luzhou City to buy timber.
When I really did it, I found that I had no clue at all, how much wood to buy, what kind of wood to make, and what was the specific size? You can't just point to the cart and say, "Bring me the same?"
I had to take a closer look, so dozens of people surrounded the front of the cylinder car. "How do you think this thing is connected? It doesn't look like there are any nails, so this thing can send water up just like that? Do you understand? A group of people couldn't figure it out after watching it for a long time.
A child raised his hand and shouted, "I know, this is called Kong Ming Lock, this part and this part are put together to form a hole, and if you get stuck here, it can't move." The child saw that he knew something that adults did not know, and he was very happy, so he quickly showed off, and pulled a handle next to him, and sure enough, the cylinder car stopped, and then pulled it back, and the cylinder car turned again.
The adults were surprised to see how the kid could fiddle with the cart, and his mother asked, "Where did you know about these things?" ”
The child was very happy, and said: "It was Mr. Li who taught us, and he also told us the story, and I also know Luban ball, the principle of leverage ......" The child said a lot of terms that adults had never heard of at all.
"So you're going to build a tube car too." The child's mother asked, her tone full of pride.
The child was a little frustrated and said, "I don't know yet, the teacher hasn't handed it to us yet, and he said that we need to learn a lot of things to make it." But now he doesn't teach us. ”
Everyone sighed when they heard it, and then they realized that the Han kid was doing good things. The child has only been with him for a few days and has learned so many things, if he has been studying for two years, he will not be successful!
Now he doesn't know where to go, and I'm afraid he won't be able to build this car. Everyone has changed from the original disdain to endless regret, because their stubbornness has missed such a capable person.
