Chapter 7: Amazing Performances

"You're Xia Jingyun?"

On the soil slope, Jiang'an County ordered Zhao Hongfei to hold his chest high, show his bearing, and speak lightly.

"If you go back to your lordship, the sinner is Xia Jingyun."

Xia Jingyun was full of salutes, and took the opportunity to raise his eyes and sweep it.

A green-robed civil official, with a purple mandarin duck embroidered on his chest, although he pretended to be amazing at the moment, he still had a sad temperament on his face, which was obviously the county order of Jiang'an County.

Next to him, there was a palace beauty, needless to say, like a delicate peony in its flowering period.

She stood with a cold and arrogant face, and did not look down on Xia Jingyun because he was dressed sloppily.

She just looked down on anyone present as equals.

Xia Jingyun immediately understood, this person who estimated what a bigger person, or a bigger person, was around.

The big man is so happy!

"You offered this method of transporting soil by pulley?"

A voice came from the cold feet that scared Xia Jingyun, and then he saw that there was a person squatting next to him.

His face was wrinkled and his hands were rough, like an old farmer working in the field.

But if he dared to grab the county order, Xia Jingyun would not be so stupid as to really treat the other party as an old farmer, and hurriedly said: "Exactly." ”

"Then do you think you can really do that? I tried it just now, and although it is indeed quite ingenious, it is still far from being able to really succeed! ”

Zhang Dazhi looked at Xia Jingyun with a suspicious expression.

Xia Jingyun was categorical and said firmly: "It will definitely work." ”

Zhao Xianling said directly: "Then let's do it quickly and take a look!" ”

Xia Jingyun didn't take action, but made a gesture towards Zhao County's order, "Sinners are courageous, I implore your lordship, if the sinner can succeed, I hope your lord can exempt the sinner's family of seven from servitude." ”

Zhao Xianling instantly narrowed his eyes, "You didn't do anything, so you dare to make conditions to this official?" ”

Xia Jingyun immediately said: "As long as the sinner's method is used, it can at least double the progress here!" ”

Zhao Xianling snorted coldly, "Do you know what the concept of double is?" With this little thing, can you save half of the manpower for the official? Haikou is exaggerated, but it can't come down! ”

Xia Jingyun said respectfully: "It is precisely because of this that the sinner dared to ask the adult to be exempted from the family's labor. ”

"If you can't meet what you say, the official will throw all seven of your family into the mass grave!"

"Thank you, sir!" Xia Jingyun's face was overjoyed, "Please assign a few strong people to me." ”

Zhao Xian Ling glanced at the guards beside him, and the guards quickly arranged for a few entourages to temporarily obey Xia Jingyun's orders.

Zhang Dazhi, who will be the prisoner, followed by the same as before, watching silently.

Xia Jingyun didn't rush to set up any equipment, but asked people to use tools to tamp the soil at both ends first.

Then a tall wooden frame was erected on a high place, and the large wheels were placed horizontally on the wooden frame.

Then, in a different way, he took a long rope and had people tie a knot at regular intervals, and then tied the long rope into the groove in the middle of the wheel.

Zhang Dazhi's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have an understanding.

Then he took a ruler and measured it, and on the left and right sides of the rope, he erected a stake and tied the rope.

Then, together with everyone, he led the three ropes down the dirt slope and came to dozens of feet away.

Here, he first set up a turntable and wrapped the long rope in the middle around the turntable.

Measure the distance, erect two stakes on either side, and then tie the rope with a tight stretch.

The three ropes were erected together in the air, like a long bridge lying on a wave, swaying slightly in the wind.

"How does this seem like this...... Shabby? ”

In the labor field, the bearded overseer carried a whip, looked back from time to time, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He wasn't really worried about Xia Jingyun, but felt that it was a bit of a loss to lose a divine help like this.

On the dirt slope, Zhao Xianling and Feng Shanggong did not go back to the pergola to rest, and they also watched Xia Jingyun busy with some curiosity.

Zhao Xianling took the initiative to talk: "Feng Shanggong, do you think this person's method can be useful?" ”

Feng Xiuyun said lightly: "Lord Zhao asked me about a person who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, didn't he ask Yu Blind?" ”

"It's the official's lack of consideration." Zhao County Lingqiang laughed twice, "But if such a simple thing can save nearly half of the manpower, it will inevitably seem that the previous person is too useless!" ”

Feng Xiuyun stood gracefully, looking at the laborer in the crowd below who was so weak that it was difficult to stand, "Let's wait and see." ”

Zhao Xianling bowed slightly, although his face was relaxed, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, even melancholy.

If this observation deck cannot be completed on schedule, even if he is the end of the Jiang An Order, even if Concubine De is not to blame, the Taishou of Jianning County and even the governor of Surabaya Prefecture above will have to express their attitude.

Xia Jingyun, can you surprise this official?

Feng Xiuyun was also slightly nervous, in the eyes of a small county magistrate like Zhao County, she was a big man from the palace, shouting Feng Shanggong over and over again, but in the palace, she was just an ordinary chief among the many female officials, and there were all the harem masters of all sizes.

This time, if you do a good job, whether you can get the blue eyes of Concubine De is a matter of two words, but if you don't do it well, it will definitely cause trouble.

This observation deck is an extremely important part, when the mother ascends to enjoy the scenery, the banquet in the state of the magnates, is the province of the relatives are definitely worth recording the event, if even this platform is not good......

Feng Xiuyun didn't dare to think about it anymore, while cursing the Ministry of Rites for not knowing the advance notice, while looking at Xia Jingyun's movements, praying for the protection of the gods and Buddhas.

Xia Jingyun, who was standing next to a large pile of parts, could roughly guess that there was a large number of people who were not optimistic about his prospects.

But they don't know anything about the wisdom of the working people!

In that special era of great labor for the whole people, a large number of local methods such as the pulley method of transporting soil have emerged.

Soil is real soil, but it also really works.

The original pulley method of transporting soil still uses wood or bamboo to make tracks, and there are different wheeled vehicles, etc., but Xia Jingyun has made some improvements, only retaining the most basic principle, which is enough to use.

He ordered the men to fill the earth with a shallow basket with a wooden wheel, which was shallow, but because it was large enough, and a basket was as large as the basket and a half that they usually used, and put the basket on it, and stuck the two ropes in the groove of the wooden wheel, as before.

Xia Jingyun didn't rush to let people pull, but picked up a hook and hung it on the knot that had already been tied to the rope in the middle.

Two straight ropes are used as the tracks, and the middle rope is used as traction.

Then, the red flag was slowly waved.

Seeing this, the man on the dirt slope shook his big wheel.

"Up again! Up again! ”

Once again, the laborers and overseers stopped what they were doing, turned their heads to look, and let out a burst of exclamation.

"Don't drop it! Don't drop! ”

This is the hope of most people.

"Fall! Fall! ”

This is a butler who has to pull a cushion to die.

Turning in circles, rolling the rope, carrying the shallow basket, crossing the height difference, smoothing the distance, and in the eyes of everyone getting bigger and bigger, he came to the high platform smoothly and firmly.

A man came up, lifted the basket, poured out the soil inside, and hung the empty basket back on the rope.

!!!

The air around them seemed to be still, and everyone froze in place, their eyes full of disbelief.

The bearded overseer rubbed his eyes, what the fuck is going on?

It's that simple, and it really works?

The workers in the field also looked stupid and murmured: "Dear mother, it's so fast!" ”

Zhao Xianling swallowed his saliva, and a scorching light instantly rose in his eyes!

He saw the possibility of a successful "catastrophe"!

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, just like that, you feel amazing?

The real awesome hasn't come yet!

And then there's the real technology!

He immediately asked the people around him to continue loading the soil, and then moved the rope one after another, and put four baskets in front and back, which were also easily pulled up.

Then, the four empty baskets came back.

In the whole process, only two people at the bottom and three people at the top participated, a total of five people.

Two loaded soil, one basket, two swayed, and it took less than a cup of tea.

In the past, to transport so much soil, it took at least six or seven people to crawl two or three incense sticks with heavy loads.

Not to mention that the current basket is much larger than before!

This one pulley has this effect, what about ten? What about twenty units?

There is no need for any calculations, as long as anyone with a brain understands that Xia Jingyun didn't tell a lie, he really did it!

It's as simple as that!
