John Sr. had lost the mood to argue with William about the high salary he had given to the villagers, and he devoted all his energy to identifying and supervising the limestone or clay sent by the villagers.

If the weight is not enough, deduct the money!

The clay is not red enough, deduct money!

If the basket is not full, deduct money!

……

Old John tried every means to save William money, but he still couldn't avoid the clay piling higher and higher, and the limestone was getting more and more, and still couldn't avoid William's Poole copper coins getting smaller and smaller day by day.

In ten days' work, William's coffers cost more than eight Pith gold coins.

Even if the villagers bought baskets and dustpans from William because of their needs, the income was far from covering the expenses.

This made Old John's face darker and darker, and his mood became worse and worse.

But then, something that must have happened has finally happened!

A large number of scattered baskets appeared in the small village of Nisse.

Because of the long time loaded with earth or limestone, especially limestone, moved around, the basket bears too much weight, resulting in a loose structure, and finally can no longer support it, and it breaks apart.

And the baskets in the village have been bought up by the crazy villagers, and the nearby golden silk grass has also been pulled out, so they can only wait for the spring flowers to bloom next year, but at this time, without the golden silk grass, naturally no new baskets will appear.

And this means that when the last batch of baskets is also destroyed, the villagers will not be able to continue to "move bricks"!

The matter was serious, and the villagers were very anxious, so they reported it to William.

William was also melancholy, the amount of clay and limestone now was simply not enough to build a wall!

He needs more clay and limestone, so the work of "moving bricks" cannot be stopped, not only can it not be stopped, but it must be more efficient!

William had focused on training the Guards, and he didn't know much about clay and limestone, so he didn't know much about it.

When he saw the amount of clay and limestone brought in the village, William was in despair.

At this rate, even if the problem of the basket is solved, can the wall be built in the year of the monkey?

So William locked himself in an earthen hut and pondered for a night, finally coming up with a solution.

He called the carpenter of the village, Merton, and called the old carpenter Charles, and in the collection of Merton, he selected a log with a diameter of about 60 centimeters, and cut a section to make a wooden wheel, and made the wooden wheel as smooth as possible.

A round hole was dug in the middle of the wooden wheel, and a hard wooden shaft was inserted, and the two sides of the wooden shaft were spliced together with a disc made of wooden planks, and the junction was fastened with iron nails.

On each side of the other end of the wheel, a stick is attached to each side as a handlebar, which is also fastened with iron nails.

On top of the axle, several beams were nailed to enclose the three sides of the car, so that it was convenient to hold the goods without letting the goods fall off the car.

In this way, a crude, rudimentary wheelbarrow was made, and it took less than a candle to burn.

When the results were presented to Merton and Charles, both of them looked surprised, and they still didn't believe that such a unicycle could be used daily!

Because in their cognition, the car to carry goods must have at least two wheels, and many of them have four wheels, so that the goods can run steadily.

One wheel, I'm afraid it won't be able to carry much, and the whole wheelbarrow will fall apart.

Faced with the suspicions of the two carpenters, William spoke directly with the facts, and directly put four baskets of limestone on the wheelbarrow, and asked the old and frail Charles to pull the wheelbarrow around the village.

Charles pulled up the wheelbarrow with trepidation, and the wheels ran over the ground of the small village of Nisse, making a creaking sound that attracted the attention of many villagers.

Charles's imaginary panting and even weakness of his hands and feet did not happen at all, and he did not exert much effort at all, and he leisurely dragged four baskets of limestone around the village at will, like the parade floats held by the nobles of the city of Serre, and it would have been better if he had not heard the unpleasant creaking sound.

It's just that when you go up the slope, it's more strenuous. But it's just a trivial issue.

The villagers understand.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the wheelbarrow was sought after by the villagers of Nisse.

Even the stupidest and most stingy villagers see its potential.

It's more labor-saving and faster, and you can make two or three more runs than you used to run.

It carries more cargo, four times as much as before.

And the resulting gains will be unimaginable before.

William directly agreed with Merton and Charles, the wheelbarrow cost three francs of silver, and he personally received one franc of silver plus fifty Poole coins, which was the inventor's intellectual property payment, while Charles and Merton each received fifty Poole copper coins, which were the remuneration of the working people, and the remaining fifty Poole copper coins were the cost of materials.

The nails were supplied by William, and although the amount was very small, William took ten of the fifty Poole copper coins.

The remaining forty Poole coins are the cost of wood.

The rules have been set, so let's get started!

Charles and Merton worked together to produce fifteen wheelbarrows in a matter of days.

The villagers made a lot of money from William during this time, and each family still had a few francs of silver coins in their hands.

As soon as the fifteen wheelbarrows were completed, they were bought by the villagers who were guarding the door, and then, under the jealous eyes of the other villagers, they pulled the wheelbarrows to the foot of the Cordillera to pull clay, or to the caves in the dark forest to load limestone.

When other villagers worked hard to carry a basket of limestone back to the village, those "local tyrants" who owned wheelbarrows had already made two trips back and forth, and even three trips back and forth diligently, each time it was four baskets to start, and the "local tyrants" were easy to pull, and the damage to the baskets was minimal, because the weight was borne by the planks and wheels.

When he could only get 1 Poole Copper Coins, the other villagers had already obtained 8 Poole Copper Coins, and even more 12 Poole Copper Coins.

The villagers will compare for themselves.

The result was that the villagers, who did not have a car, went crazy, and they did not dare to be presumptuous against the lord William, but they surrounded the house of Merton, a carpenter.

Merton and Charles were plunged into painful pleasure and hardly had a moment of rest to "serve the people"!

The few logs that Merton had stored were completely consumed, but only 10 more wheelbarrows were made.

10 wheelbarrows were bought in an instant, and some villagers even took place in front of Merton's house in order to buy a wheelbarrow!

Eventually, the convoy was brought in.

The convoy was dressed in uniform and held a wooden shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand.

The villagers no longer dare to look at him as a teenager, especially Jacques Potter among them.

The two villagers who were fighting were taken away by the convoy and brought to William without resistance.

After hearing this, William couldn't help but shake his head, what a!

However, William did not build his own territory into a place to be divided according to trouble.

He directly ordered the convoy to punish according to the first statute of the Dicas's domain, with ten lashes, and showed the public for a day, and added a supplementary penalty regulation, a fine of 1 franc of silver.

If the whipping is a pain in the flesh, then the punishment is a pain in their hearts.

Especially after the mental and physical pain, the wheelbarrow did not reach them, but was obtained by another lucky villager, which made matters worse, and poured salt on the wound!

The other villagers saw it as a concern, but soon plunged into the great business of making money.

Twenty-five wheelbarrows could not meet the growing cultural and material needs of the small village of Nisse, so Merton and Charles' work continued.

Without logs, they used 40 Poole copper coins as a hire fee, and hired a few villagers to go into the forest to cut down trees, and only cut down large trees with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters.

It takes a person half a day to cut down a tree, plus to clear the branches, and most of the day is spent on it.

With the logs, Charles and Merton's work could continue, and new wheelbarrows were made and sold to the villagers.

William drew 1 silver franc for every wheelbarrow, and 10 wheelbarrows had a gold coin, all of which were collected by John the Elder.

The high income made old John rarely show a smile.

But soon, the steady stream of limestone and clay took away a large number of copper and silver coins from his hand, and old John's face sank again.

After another ten days, almost every household in the small village of Nisse had a wheelbarrow, and some of the more affluent even owned two or three wheelbarrows.

Every day, the "cars" that travel to and from the foot of the Cordillera, the small village of Nisse, and the caves of the dark forest are endless, and the crunching sound is endless, occasionally mixed with the loud training sounds of the escort members.

The villagers' expressions were vibrant, while Old John's expressions were dark.

The limestone that has been brought in has been piled up into a small mountain, and the clay piled at the entrance and end of the village is even higher than the mountain.

Under such circumstances, the autumn wind rose, and the harvest covenant quietly arrived.
