Chapter 8: Miraculous
When the ship's wife saw that the persuasion was ineffective, she didn't know that she was witnessing a history, and she cried.
Song Jiu didn't pay attention to them, but shouted loudly, there were some children playing on the river embankment, and reading was still a very distant term for ordinary people. Many children went with their parents to the Biandi and frolicked up and down the embankment, and the adults did not care about anything but telling them not to play in the water. Seeing it, the children gathered together.
There is nothing to do, Song Jiu in order to test the test, in the courtyard of the home Gu Huai several people worked together to make a similar high platform, the high platform on the Biandi is about two meters and a half, the height of the high platform at home is only one and a half meters, and there is no cast iron shaft, but the use of a thick tree tree in the ancient acacia to set the pulley and measure various data. This is the beginning, and if it is used on a large scale, it will be further tested and measured. He also measured the weight he could bear, and put 80 stone mud bags and stones in his net pocket to see if the iron wood and iron chains used as the shafts could withstand it.
It turned out to be uneventful.
When it was practical, Song Jiu did not count on eighty stones, but floated up and down fifty stones, and the maximum load should not exceed sixty stones.
But to prevent accidents, you must not let anyone stand under it, whether it is a child or an adult. In case of an accident, 5,000 catties of goods fell down together and fell on people...... I can't even think about it!
Under Song Jiu's cheers, the children fled together, still standing not far away to watch.
It was not only them who were watching, but also the coolies, pedestrians and boatmen on both sides of the river who put down their work and looked up at this side.
A few people stood still at the same time, staring at the net pocket, and a mighty-looking man said to the middle-aged scribe beside him: "Zeping, there are a lot of ceramics in the net pocket. ”
When Song Jiu lifted it out of his home, it was a sensation, and it took a long time to install it again, enough for some big people to come and watch.
"yes, it's forty or fifty stones."
"Zeping, do you think this thing can lift it?"
"I don't know ......what to do," the middle-aged scribe shook his head with difficulty.
The chain gradually tightened, and the seventh brother-in-law and Qi Hachiro still nervously grasped the rope.
This also has a mechanical principle.
From the embankment to the water surface, there is a long distance, the tree as a rotating shaft is not that long at all, even if it is so long, Song Jiu does not dare, the larger the force arm, the greater the bending distance obtained by the same amount of force, the easier it is to break, and the smaller it is.
In some juggling, the two of them took out a very long and thick steel bar, drank it loudly to their stomachs, and the steel bar gradually became bent, but try to change it to a short steel bar. As long as you train and ordinary people pay attention to safety, you can do the same.
Now the problem is that if you can't bend it, sooner or later the wood will break. So the arm can't make it too long. Instead, the net pocket is pulled to the bow of the ship with a rope to load, which is equal to an increase in the vertical distance. Once the iron chain is tightened, the gravitational force will inevitably fall vertically, and it will hit the river embankment vertically. Not to mention this net of ceramics, it is an ordinary cargo, it is best not to hit, which will cause rebound and shock, and damage the life of the entire crane.
But the amount of force required is not too great.
This is also the principle of mechanics, gravitational force and weight have no factor, they are the same. The weight of a fifty stone cargo will have a gravitational pull of fifty stone towards the lower part of the cargo. But now the chain and the shaft are bearing its weight, which is equivalent to bearing its gravitational pull downward. The Seventh Brother-in-law didn't need to be so nervous at all, as long as they used a little force to get up, the cargo would remain bent in the air until it was at a perpendicular distance from the ground and calmly lowered the rope.
A similar principle is the hanging bell.
In some temples, the big bronze bell can weigh up to 1,000 catties, but after it is hung up, even if it exerts ten catties of strength, it can make it sway violently.
The same can be applied to the cargo in the river, a cargo ship of several hundred tons is often easily pulled by a dozen slender men, the gravitational force of the cargo ship does not change, but the buoyancy of the river water cancels out its gravitational pull. The force of the fiber is not for gravity, but for the inertial force of the needle to change the object, and the resistance and friction of the boat to break through the river.
These are simple principles of mechanics, including the device itself, but if they were to be explained one by one in this era, it would make everyone feel big. So, as soon as it came out, it was amazing.
With the help of the seventh brother-in-law and Qi Hachilang, the net bag finally rose diagonally from the deck of the ship into the air.
Seeing it rise, the husband and wife of the boat family did not hide their faces and did not dare to look at it, and the boat lady cried louder, which had nothing to do with other people, so they stared at it together, and someone exclaimed.
Soon the net pocket and the embankment were in a vertical state, Song Jiu pulled again, Zhong Dalang and He Erlang pulled the rope on the other side, the wood as the hinge rotated, and the goods went ashore smoothly.
In fact, at the beginning, Song Jiu didn't think of the hinge, but directly fixed the wood. But after the most difficult to consider whether on the embankment or under the river, there must be four people to pull the rope, the rope is in a straight state, people will be more labor-saving, once it is in a twisted state, it is equal to the torsion bending, the goods are heavy, the inertia will be greater, and more people must be able to pull the rope steadily. In that case, the meaning of saving manpower would be lost, so the hinge and the wavy circle were conceived.
The four of them quickly dropped the goods, the seventh brother-in-law pulled the net back again, and Song Jiu put the chain back on the shore. I started to prepare for the second trip.
"Is that okay?" Boss Hu's mouth opened wide.
Usually they carry and unload, mostly with their shoulders, and then put it away, and then go ashore from the gangplank on the boat, from the river to the embankment, and then walk down the embankment and back to the boat. It takes a little longer for the pulleys to assemble a group of goods than they do back and forth.
However, it is operated by six people, and one time is enough for them to pick twenty or thirty times, thirty or forty times. And moving and pulling will not flash the waist pole because of the difficulty. At the same time, it also makes room, and people pick up a load of goods up and down, which must be faster than it, but there are fewer people and the boat is small, and the ship must be more adults, so many people are tied together, often crowded into a pile, and someone must wait for the flash to delay time. It is difficult for laymen to compare, Hu Boss makes a living here, and is the head of the line, and he gets the answer as soon as he estimates, the time it takes to lift a trip is only equivalent to one and a half times the time for a porter to pick up a trip back and forth. The efficiency has not only doubled, but also doubled or tripled!
Boss Hu scratched his ears and cheeks while looking at it strangely. The second trip to the goods was pulled up again, and Boss Hu finally held back a sentence: "Sure enough, he is a scholar, and his knowledge is very useful." ”
The mighty-looking man in the distance said, "Let's go back." ”
I saw it and knew it, so I didn't need to look at it anymore, but he smiled, it was magical, but then it was called trouble, this magic was solved by strange tricks and tricks, and the next trouble was people, and no coincidence would come in handy. Let's see what this kid will do when he arrives!
People come and go on the embankment, and no one pays attention to these strangers.
Continue in the pull.
Boss Hu saw that his heart was itching, and said, "Xiao Jiu, let me give it a try." ”
"Okay."
He took the lead, and several of his brothers also pushed He Erlang and them aside and ran over to take over.
The ceramic ship is not big, and it would have required more than a dozen laborers to toss for half a day to unload the goods, but a dozen back and forth, and the goods on the ship were unloaded.
All the coolies stared at it.
Boss Hu put down the chain in his hand and said again: "Zhong, it's still fast." ”
With the first ship as a model, several ships were eager to try, and the picture was novel! I didn't need to look for the seventh brother-in-law, and I picked up the second ship of goods.
On the shore, Boss Hu pulled Song Jiu's arm, and Song Jiu pretended not to know and continued to command.
Boss Hu pulled it again and said loudly, "Xiao Jiu." ”
"Hu Xingtou, what are you doing?"
"Bet." Boss Hu said hurriedly, not that he wanted to share many benefits, but that he immediately thought of the competitiveness of this thing, if a hundred such things were erected on the river embankment, he could easily defeat the Hebei porter.
"Bet?"
"yes, let's talk about the bet." Boss Hu called for a younger brother to take over his work, pulled Song Jiu aside and said.
"Okay, I'll tell you what's in my mind."
In fact, it is a shareholding system.
The coolies in the river can be shared, and the shares are apportioned according to the capitation, and the capital is also apportioned according to the capitation. Another hundred elders were selected to manage the accounts, to prevent the greed for ink, to assemble pulleys, to patrol and guard, especially to guard against the Hebei coolies, and not to let them come to wreak havoc. In order to compensate these elders, each person owns two to ten shares, and the ten people's shares are only enjoyed by a few heads, including Hu Boss. No one is allowed to divulge this technique.
As the initiator, Song Jiu is responsible for teaching the technique and supervising the implementation, but he must own one percent of the shares with the seventh brother-in-law.
"Xiao Jiu, are you too much?" Boss Hu was not stupid, and reacted immediately.
"Hu Xingtou, I'll calculate an account for you, now this cargo is controlled by the people on both sides of the river, and the river accounts for a larger share, but the gap is not big. With it, can you quickly grab the work of Hebei together? This is a double portion, at least half of the work can be grabbed. The unloading work was snatched up, and it had to be transported to the workshops, so did this job also be snatched up? Compared to these extra jobs, what are these two small shares? Of course, you can not agree, I believe it is all neighbors, you will not bring someone to tear it down. With it, we can make more money. Whatever you want. ”
This is what Song Jiu has thought about repeatedly, one percent does not seem to be much, but the Bianhe River is busy, and there are normally hundreds of people working in the free time, and it will reach thousands of people when it is busy. That is to say, if he performs his skills, it means that there will be twenty or thirty people working for him every day.
At this time, the salary of officials in the Song Dynasty was not high, far from the level of Bao Zheng's 30 million yuan a year, this income can barely be equivalent to the income of a Zhizhou, which is about the same as the income of the eldest sister's wine shop, and higher than the income of the fifth sister's inn. With it, Song Jiu directly entered the well-off level.
But it's not too high, it's not so eye-catching, in short, it's a very delicate number.
And it has a better future, now the Song Dynasty capital four canals, Bianshui is not as prosperous as the Wuzhang River, but with the stability of Huainan, the Southern Tang Dynasty won, the sum of the other three canals can not even reach one-tenth of Bianshui.
"Xiao Jiu, are you the head of the line or am I the head of the line?" Boss Hu changed his words, meaning that I am the head of the line, but the sharing is far less than yours, which is not fair.
"Hu Xingtou, since ancient times, has there ever been such a thing?"
Boss Hu meditated for a while and said, "No." ”
"Ask a head of the line (Oiran) to call the bureau, or go to the main store (dozens of the most famous restaurants in the capital are called Zhengdian) for a meal, the less is forty or fifty yuan, and the more is hundreds or even thousands of dollars. And my idea can be unique in the sky and on earth, no one after it, no one else before, no one else before, how much will it be worth? ”
"This, this ......"
"Or to put it another way, if I sell it to Hebei Xingtou, how much will they pay me?"
