Chapter 211: Huller

"What machinery?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be interested.

But Ying Changsheng explained.

"Father, do you know what ordinary people do most often in their daily lives?"

"Naturally, this is working in the field?"

Ying Zheng said with some skepticism that the current world is a world with backward productive forces, and the Great Qin Empire has a population of more than 20 million, the vast majority of whom are busy in agriculture.

And the most important thing they do every day.

I guess it's just working in the fields.

But after the voice of winning the government fell.

Ying Changsheng shook his head.

"If you don't farm, how can you go to the field every day?"

Yes, it doesn't mean that anyone who farms the land has to go to the ground every day.

for there is so much work in the earth.

There is so much grass to remove, how much to fertilize, so much fertilizer to fertilize.

How can there be so much crop work to do?

You must know that farmers are also divided into busy farmers and idle farmers.

When the farm is busy, I am so busy.

When the farm is idle, it is idle to death.

Heard his son Ying Changsheng say this.

Ying Zheng was also a little confused, he really didn't understand that he had to do everything to the end.

Just when Ying Zheng looked helplessly at his son Ying Changsheng.

Ying Changsheng explained to him with a smile.

"This job is also very simple to say, it is nothing more than to peel the grain!"

Ying Changsheng's voice fell, and Ying Zheng suddenly reacted.

Yes, the people have to do such a job all year round.

The Great Qin Empire at this time.

Speaking of which, the staple food that the people eat is rice.

Or Xiaomier.

As for the wheat?

This thing is not the mainstream of stone food in the current Daxian.

At this time, this thing was not even popularized, because the people at that time had not yet pointed out a technology tree.

This tech tree is called Grinding Noodles.

I don't know how to process pasta.

In such a situation, it is very difficult to promote wheat.

The staple food that the people eat.

It's all rice.

Or Xiaomi.

Both crops are good to eat.

But the problem is that they have an embarrassing fact.

That's both kinds of grains, both of which are wrapped in a shell.

This husk protects both the grain.

It allows the grain to be stored in the earth's crust for a long time without being damaged.

Yes, for decades or even thousands of years with the rudimentary preservation techniques.

But, every time you eat this crop.

But it also needs to be done very laboriously.

That is to find a way to remove the husk of this grain.

At this point, it's a lot of work.

Until the Hereafter.

If it weren't for the mechanics, it would still be a laborious job.

In the history of later generations.

Grinding flour or peeling grain when there is no machine is a very tiring task.

It may be the result of a busy morning's work.

It's just enough for the family to eat and drink.

Therefore, the people need to grind the dough every day and peel the rice.

It's a tiring job.

And he has to go on every day, it's just too tormenting.

Doing this kind of work for a long time is not good for people's health.

You must know that during the Qin Dynasty.

A convict who has committed a crime.

This kind of work.

Generally, it is.

The lowliest.

And it is also the highest punishment.

I only heard Win Zheng say incredulously.

"Can this steam engine peel the rice?"

"It should work!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

He has already asked people to do the matching machine.

However, it is still unknown whether it will be able to make it.

After all.

Later generations I love to invent inside.

The one who made the same machine.

Not after several failures.

It wasn't through the eyes of family members and the persuasion of friends that they finally persevered.

So it's normal to fail.

Facing failure.

And don't be afraid of failure.

After all, that famous saying is not a good one.

Failure is a success.

A short time later, a huge machine was brought in to remove the husks of the paddy.

Winning Zheng, he couldn't help frowning and looked over.

Then I was a little suspicious of this stupid machine made of black rough wood and iron.

Is it possible to complete the hulling of paddy?

Just when Win Zheng was confused.

Win Changsheng did order people to use belts.

A steam engine was connected.

Two runners with this sheller.

Used to provide power.

To be honest, it is not difficult to design a shelling machine, the difficulty lies in providing a stable and constant power.

I only saw it in front of the successful connection.

Ying Changsheng immediately instructed the workers on the side to start the steam engine.

Because the coal in the steam engine has not yet been extinguished.

So it started quickly, and all I heard was the rumbling of a steam engine in the air.

In Ying Zheng's surprised gaze.

Ying Changsheng immediately ordered the people on the side to take out a bag of rice.

And then.

Put this bag of rice into it along the top feeding opening.

Then the threshing machine driven by the steam engine.

And then it was up and running.

Not long after that, there is a discharge port below.

I only saw the bottom of the discharge port, the iron mouth.

Immediately, the husked rice began to emerge outside.

It was a piece of white flowers, although there were some rice husks mixed in it.

But it's already clean.

It can be eaten as is.

Looking at Ying Zheng, his face was excited, and he exclaimed.

"This thing is really a good thing, with this thing, it should be able to save the people a lot of effort!"

The voice of winning politics fell.

Side.

Someone muttered.

"This thing is good, it can save a lot of effort, but then again, with this kind of thing, I'm afraid that many people in the people can be lazy......"

After the voice came.

Win Changsheng frowned at the guy he looked at.

Then he opened his mouth and scolded.

"Some hardships can be eaten, some hardships can not be eaten, if you really want to endure hardships, then go directly to ask for food, you can eat any hardship, I Daqin, the result of my efforts, is to let the people of the world suffer less, not for the sake of hardship!"

After Win Changsheng's words came.

The official's face instantly looked embarrassed.

And Ying Zheng also spoke.

"That's true, you have to eat the hardships that should be eaten, and the hardships that shouldn't be eaten shouldn't be eaten!"

Saying that, Ying Zheng looked at this steam engine.

He said with emotion.

"Some of these things can be popularized in various places, so that the people carry rice, and in the past, they only need to pay a fee to remove the husks!"

"Father is wise!"

Ying Changsheng immediately echoed and said.

He sneered again and said to the official who had just spoken.

"And doesn't it take a lot of effort to work? After all, people need to eat to be energetic, machines need to burn coal to be energetic, and to do so much work, the food that needs to be eaten and the food consumed is not better than consuming some coal? ”

"But what if the coal is gone?"

Ying Changsheng's voice fell, and the official didn't dare to refute.

But Ying Zheng suddenly frowned and muttered.

Not to mention winning politics, there are really some thoughts of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

I even thought that the coal would be dug up.
