Chapter 41: Shocking the Great Wei Five, Benefiting the People!
"What? Connected to the machine? ”
"Is this the thing? Can you take the place of a human to make rice?! ”
Cheng Yu said with a look of surprise.
Lin Chuan frowned and said:
"As for all the fuss?"
"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't know how to make a diesel engine, I would still be able to use such a retro thing?"
"Scooping rice with your hands, tired people are tired to death."
Having said that, Lin Chuan can also understand that these people don't know about Lianji.
After all, this thing itself is extremely difficult to see in modern times.
If it weren't for Lin Chuan's love for history, he wouldn't have known about the existence of this thing at all.
Since the Industrial Revolution, diesel engines have appeared, and even engines have been gradually eliminated.
Retro?
You call this retro?
Lianji appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty, which is a facility that uses water power to automatically scoop rice, and can achieve a machine that automatically hulls grains.
It was also the greatest invention of its time.
Due to the emergence of the machine, the manpower has been greatly reduced and the price of rice noodles has been reduced.
However, after the Industrial Revolution, it was replaced by the diesel engine, but it is undeniable that it is a symbol of the times.
The main thing is that this thing is easy to make, and Lin Chuan can make it.
Using the resources on the island, there is no diesel engine that can be made at all, and Lin Chuan can't.
This thing can't be made if you want to, otherwise Lin Chuan would have been able to use electricity on the island a long time ago.
"Boy, can you show me a demonstration?"
Cao Cao looked at Lian Ji Ji with a look of surprise, and his heart was full of excitement.
If it is really as Lin Chuan said, it can automatically shed its shell, then it is definitely an artifact!
An artifact that can benefit one party!
The appearance of this thing will greatly liberate the hands of the people!
Rice husking becomes simpler, and the price of rice and noodles will be relatively reduced, which can also make people full in disguise!
After all, even if the output is increased, the rice is a huge manpower consumption.
Lin Chuan took out a bag of unhulled rice from the mill and poured it into the machine.
Immediately, Lin Chuan pressed the horizontal wood on it into the air, and the machine began to operate, automatically scooping rice.
Now the five people of the Great Wei are stupid.
It can really be done!
Without much effort, it can scoop the rice on its own! And the efficiency and speed of rice are much better than manual!
After all, the machine is operated according to the power of water, unlike people, who get tired and have sore arms.
Cao Cao couldn't hold back at all, with joy on his face!
The appearance of this thing is definitely beneficial to the country and the people!
Once it is put into various places, it will change the status quo of many people!
With such a high yield of grains, the people will never go hungry again!
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to take Lian Ji away now.
Lin Chuan said with his hands behind his back:
"I've read it, Lao Xu, Lao Cheng, and Lao Jia, I'll leave the noodle grinding to you."
"Lao Cao, let's go cut some bamboo."
When Xu Chu heard this, he had to reluctantly take another look at Lian Ji and turn to leave.
Looking at such a large grinding disc, Xu Chu rolled up his sleeves.
That's it!
……
Lin Chuan, on the other hand, took a sickle and an axe and walked towards the bamboo forest not far away.
Originally, Lin Chuan didn't think about continuing to use thatch to make a house, and use more wood to reinforce it.
But this is too troublesome, but it is not as strong and trouble-free as bamboo.
As for the use of stones, it was even more troublesome, when Lin Chuan made a stone villa for himself, it took nearly a year to do it.
During this period, Lin Chuan lived in a thatched house.
Now it's time to build a house for Lao Cao and Cao Jie, so you can't let them live with you all the time, right?
Thinking so, Lin Chuan slashed towards the towering bamboo.
Cao Jie is not a weak woman, and often sneaks into the army to watch soldiers train.
In addition, Cao Cao's subordinates have great respect for Cao Jie, and they often have nothing to guide them.
Over time, Cao Jie's martial arts have also become extremely good.
Although it is not as good as Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi, she can also win a third-rate general.
Seeing that Lin Chuan was so busy, Cao Jie also hurried over to help.
The sickle and axe can't be used, so it's up to Lin Chuan to do it, so as to learn little by little.
Cao Jie's learning ability is very amazing, and he doesn't need Lin Chuan to teach him by hand, as long as he sees how Lin Chuan operates, he will be directly handy.
And Lao Cao had to watch from the sidelines, and Lin Chuan didn't plan to let him cut the bamboo.
Due to frequent horseback riding, Lao Cao's waist has always been bad, and the lumbar muscle strain is very serious.
Although it was relieved after taking the medicine given by the system, this old disease and Lao Cao's age itself is old.
Bending down to cut down for such an afternoon, you have to have a herniated disc in your waist.
"Old Cao, you have to take good care of your own body."
"Look at it this way, and look at how much fault you have."
Lin Chuan complained while chopping.
Cao Cao laughed and said:
"The boy didn't know that when I was young, it was also a hero!"
"Don't say anything else, I defeated a Jiao in Qianshui!"
After saying that, Cao Cao's chin couldn't help but rise slightly.
When he was young, Cao Cao became famous and was called a young hero, which is still fresh in my memory.
I didn't know that Lin Chuan didn't look back, and said angrily:
"Do you really think you're Cao Cao?"
"Isn't it easy to fish?"
"Give me a trident, and I'll be able to throw all the fish ashes."
Cao Jie, who was on the side, suddenly sneered when he heard this.
Although she was used to Lin Chuan's strange words that suddenly popped out, she still couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.
Lao Cao's face suddenly turned red.
But he was also speechless.
Looking at it this way, Lin Chuan, you still say that you are not a child of the immortal family!
Except for the children of the fairy family, who dares to say that Jiaolong is a fish?
The bamboo was quickly cut down, and Lin Chuan and Cao Jie dragged the bamboo and slowly walked towards the residence.
……
At this time, Xu Chu had already stripped off his clothes and struggled to grind his face.
As for Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, one is responsible for adding wheat grains, and the other is responsible for wiping Xu Chu's sweat.
After all, these two people are also over half a hundred years old, so they have to break their waists to grind.
Although Xu Chu was a little tired, he felt much less effort than the previous grinding.
The small mill before did not come and go with the grinding from the outside world.
However, this big mill is extremely labor-saving, and the force used to pull two circles is almost the same as that used to pull one circle of small mills.
At this time, Lin Chuan took Cao Jie and Cao Cao to the mill.
Xu Chu wiped the sweat on his head and said with a smile:
"Boy, what do you think!"
"I've been for a while, but I've worn thirty pounds!"
Lin Chuan looked at the stone mill and couldn't help but be shocked:
"You grind it yourself?"
Seeing this, Xu Chu couldn't help but say proudly:
"That's, I'm as powerful as an ox......"
Before the words fell, Lin Chuan suddenly spoke:
"Are you kidding me? What are you doing by yourself? ”
