Chapter 34: Wang Shouye
[34] Wang Shouye
As the saw was pulled faster and faster in Wang Shouye's hand, and the more smoothly it was pulled, the old carpenter's skills were revealed, and I saw that the saw blade was like a straight iron wire, sliding parallel to the front and back.
Yao Fan watched from the sidelines, and also became admirer of Wang Shouye, and asked with a smile: "What does the shopkeeper Wang think?" ”
Wang Shouye sawed off the wooden strips, panting invisibly, it was difficult for him to work at such an age, but he didn't feel tired, which shows his skills when he was young.
Wang Shouye stared at the bow saw and saw blade from the future, was silent for a long time, and praised loudly: "Good! Good saw! It's a good saw! It's the first time I've seen such a light hacksaw, it's much more convenient than my Qing wooden saw, the wooden saw has to be tightened with twine every day, but this hacksaw is tightened with this iron pivot, which is really convenient! Also, the teeth of this saw blade are even and thin! It's effortless to pull it up! The steel mouth is blue again, and it is obviously the most carefully quenched, which is really a rare rarity. However, the old man felt that the saw blade was a little too narrow, and if the novice carpenter was unstable, he was afraid that it would break. ”
Yao Fan gave a thumbs up: "The shopkeeper Wang is an expert!" But it doesn't hurt to break, I have a replacement saw blade. ”
Wang Shouye said: "The carpenters under me are not so stupid, I am afraid that when the time comes to teach the Yao Dong's men to untie the wood, it will inevitably be damaged." If you want to build these houses as quickly as possible, Yao Dongjia has to borrow some of my buddies and learn how to untie wood with me. ”
Yao Fan saw that Wang Shouye took the initiative to teach his subordinates to build houses, and said happily: "Practice makes perfect, solving wood is not learning carpentry, you should be able to learn it soon." ”
Then Yao Fan opened a long cardboard box on the side, took out a large blade-like handsaw from it, and handed it to Wang Shouye.
As soon as Wang Shouye saw this triangular handsaw, he sighed: "Good steel, good steel!" The saw turned out to be made of snowflake-like steel. ”
Yao Fan frowned, and said in his heart that if the workers of 2o11 said this, I would be scolded, this is forging, right? Cast your head!
But he said helplessly, "This is a high-carbon hand saw, which is extremely hard, and the saw iron bar can also be sawed." ”
Wang Shouye's hand holding the saw was trembling: "Iron can also be sawed?" ”
"Well, it's a good saw."
Wang Shouye looked at the nail in his hand, thought about it, and gave up the idea of testing it on the spot.
Yao Fan said firmly, and quickly opened a square box on the side, took out the wide saw belt coiled inside, unfolded it, put on the handles at both ends, screwed on the nuts and nuts, pointed to the ground and said, "Big dragon saw!" Two people tug at each other, and the wood is as easy as mowing grass! ”
Wang Shouye almost fainted, and said in his heart that the hands of Yao Dongjia were full of foreign carpenters' weapons! These things are all beautiful! At first glance, it is a snowflake-like hundred refined steel, and any wood shop can get these things, they can walk sideways in the industry! However, these tools are also exquisitely made, and in the eyes of people in the carpentry industry, they are like glittering treasures!
Wang Shouye touched the Xueliang saw belt of the big dragon saw that could be curled, and almost cried with emotion: "Yao Dongjia, the steel saw blade of this big dragon saw is soft and can be coiled!" ”
Yao Fan pursed his lips and smiled: "I just ask you if you are okay?" ”
Wang Shouye couldn't help himself excitedly, nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and praised loudly: "Good! Good! Good! It's all the best guys to eat! Yao Dongjia, you have opened my eyes today! These foreigners and carpentry eaters, I have seen them for the first time in my life! Yao Dongjia, are all these things shipped here to sell? Can you sell me some? ”
Yao Fan was not in a hurry, and opened a box on the side, Wang Shouye was too excited by Yao Fan's toss for a while, seeing that Yao Fan still had a baby, he couldn't help but have a light in his eyes, and hurriedly grabbed it to see what was going on, and immediately shouted out: "Carpenter's planer?" Carpentry chisel? ”
didn't wait for Yao Fan to take it out, Wang Shouye stepped forward and picked them up one by one to take a closer look: "Okay!" Great stuff! It's all good steel! ”
Yao Fan then replied to his question just now: "My tools are all made of the best Western tools and steel, and foreigners don't sell them abroad at all, for fear that foreigners will learn their craft, I have spent a lot of effort to get it secretly, but it is true that they are all shipped and sold, but the shopkeeper Wang is your own person, I can lend you all for free now, so that you can speed up my construction period, and when you are finished, I will send you another batch." ”
When Wang Shouye heard this, he was so excited in his heart! immediately lost his temper, chased after Yao Fan's head and asked, "How to send it?" ”
Yao Fan said with a smile: "The house I want to build is a row of 2o rooms, and a row of 1o is a district, you build a district, and I will give you 2o bow saws, two hand saws, a big dragon saw, a carpentry planer and a set of three planer blades, plus a set of 1o specifications of woodworking chisels." ”
"Good! I'll cover it now! Now I'll take someone! Bring someone to cover! Wang Shouye was really crazy, and some incoherent answers.
Yao Fan saw that Wang Shouye's work motivation had obviously skyrocketed, and said happily: "It's good to hurry, shopkeeper Wang, let me tell you about my plan." ”
Next, Yao Fan explained his plan for the construction of the reservoir area to Wang Shouye in detail.
Wang Shouye was a carpenter, who had been building houses all his life, and the directors of various buildings in the Qing Dynasty were basically carpenter-born figures, and in ancient times, carpenters were the earliest chief engineers in civil engineering.
After listening to Yao Fan's plan, Wang Shouye did not have any obstacles to understanding at all, and he repeated it to Yao Fan, saying it more clearly than Yao Fan's explanation. This made Yao Fan smack his tongue again and again, praising Wang Shouye for being smart. It's no wonder, after all, Yao Fan was not born in architecture, and he planned the most rudimentary board houses, warehouses and playgrounds, where is there any difficulty. If Wang Shouye doesn't even understand this, then the carpenter business in his life will really live like a dog.
Yao Fan saw that Wang Shouye had a clear mind, knew more about civil engineering than himself, and was full of enthusiasm for work under the temptation, so he simply handed over all the projects to him to command, and he and He Wannian took a carriage back to the city to rest.
He Wannian and Yao Fan were huddled together in the narrow cage of the carriage, and He Wannian's eyes opened wide and said, "Brother Yao, do you really want to give so many good tools to that Wang Shouye?" ”
Yao Fan leaned back against the cage and said tiredly: "Send it, why don't you send it, you want the horses not to eat grass, and you want the horses to run well, how can there be such a reason in the world." ”
He Wannian nodded in agreement, and said: "I read the charter of Brother Yao's wooden house, I think the wooden house is really simple, not even a brick or tile, it is really simple to build, the wood money plus the salary of cutting the plank, a house only costs 9 taels of silver, and then a thousand sons, enough for a carpenter to nail up such a wooden box, and a house is ten taels of silver." ”
Yao Fan squinted at He Wannian.
He Wannian continued to calculate: "Brother Yao said that the houses in the 2oo households in one district should be built in five districts, that is, a thousand wooden houses, and it will cost 10,000 taels of silver. But Brother Yao, your good iron nails, but in vain on these useless things, the price of today's iron nails, but two or five dollars a catty, a house with more than 30 catties of iron nails, even if it is 8o taels, a thousand such houses cost 80,000 taels of silver. Brother Yao spent so much money and built so many such casual houses, what are you going to do? ”
Yao Fanxin said that I want you to take care of so many things, 2o11 iron nails are 4ooo a ton, buy 2o tons but 80,000 yuan, and then turn it back to 1875 silver after being converted into gold, but 14o taels of silver!
Yao Fan has basically practiced schizophrenia now, he still has a set of words in his heart, and said: "It's okay, build these houses, I will learn from foreigners to do charity, open a social welfare home, and I will take in all the homeless people, give them a bite to eat, and teach them to help me go around the world and sell commercial goods." I even had the name of this welfare home in mind, and it was called Shandong Commune. ”
"Shandong Commune?" He Wannian listened to this strange name, and said in his heart that these people who stayed abroad and came back are really unreasonable, you just think they are like normal people, but they suddenly commits a faint and learns some stupid things of foreigners.
"Brother Yao, why do foreigners raise so many idlers? Do you care if they eat and drink? He Wannian really couldn't figure it out, so he had to continue to ask.
Yao Fan shook his head and sighed: "Brother He, this charity is not an idea that foreigners came up with, but a virtue that has existed in China since ancient times. Since ancient times, Confucianism has emphasized benevolence; Buddhism talks about compassion; Taoism talks about accumulating virtue; The Mohists talk about love. Although the words are different, their meanings are similar, and they are all for the purpose of saving people and benefiting the world. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a warehouse system for disaster relief and relief for the people; In the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, there were Futian Courtyard for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the Nursing Home for the hungry, as well as the Anjifang for the treatment of people who had no money to see a doctor, and the Huimin Pharmacy for free medicine; In the Ming Dynasty, there were solitary homes for orphans and beggars. ”
Speaking of this, Yao Fan suddenly felt sad in his heart, and his tone changed sharply and said sharply: "But who knew that there would be no Huaxia after the death of the Song Dynasty!" There is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty! In my dynasty of the Great Qing Dynasty, who cares about the life and death of these poor compatriots? Those hardcore crops have flags to eat, and they will never go hungry! Those who starve to death are poor men! But the poor people in the world are all unpaid Han people, and the Han people are starving, sick, and freezing to death, they all deserve to die! One less Han Chinese! Full of people is one more point! ”
He Wannian saw that the more Yao Fan spoke, the more reactionary he became, and the more he spoke, the more unorthodox he became, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother Yao is taboo!" Brother Yao is taboo! Now that the Manchus and the Han are one, you must not say this again, if you are listened to by the government, it will be trouble! ”
As he spoke, He Wannian pulled the curtain in front of the cage, and when he saw that the guy who was driving the car was leading the horse without looking back, he put down the curtain and felt a little at ease.
"Brother Yao, my compassionate heart can be saved, you do this charity, it is also in line with the principles of heaven and morality, I will not persuade in the future, but you must not mention these irritating words in the future, Brother Yao must know, disaster comes from the mouth!"
Yao Fan relaxed, shook his shoulders and said with a smile: "What is Brother Wannian afraid of, there are no outsiders in Hengzhi, I'm just complaining, is there anyone in the world who will let go of a good life of wealth and glory, but it can't be a rebellion?" But whoever has something to eat will not rebel, and those who really rebel have always been desperate poor ghosts. Whoever wants to say that I rebelled, someone must believe it, hahahaha......"
He Wannian shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yao, you are a Westerner, you are shocked, but you scared my brother." Indeed, if anyone says that you rebel with such a golden body, it is really absurd, and it must be a false accusation with personal grudges, but Brother Yao must know that the world is full of villains, and it is necessary to guard against those lard blind hearts to kill talents! ”
Yao Fan simply raised his feet and shook the curtain, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid of a bird, we can't do anything else in the Qing Dynasty, but this is good, the government is bribed, the punishment is exempted by silver, are you afraid of seeing officials if you have money?" ”
He Wannian was amused, and said with a smile: "Brother Yao's words are dignified, if you really encounter something that is not long-sighted, we will not use silver to sit on him for the crime of falsely accusing good people, and kill him in the hall." ”
