414. Second layer, orange tree
Xin Jia didn't remember where he saw it from, so he kept repeatedly: "Chiseling wood is a machine, the back is heavy and the front is light, and if the water is pumped, it is like a fertile soup....."
"What?"
The dozing head of the Cao family was a spirit, and he seemed to have heard this sentence there.
"Orange tree. ”
Seeing that the head of the Cao family was puzzled, Xin Jia explained: "It is also known as a boom or a pole, and it is a tool used to draw water. ”
"This thing...."The head of the Cao family immediately understood: "Can it improve the efficiency of water drawing?"
"This thing is labor-saving, and it is twice the result with half the effort when it is used to draw water, but it is not popular. ”
The head of the Cao family rolled his eyes and asked, "Then how should it be made?"
Since Wen Ding invented Mo You and killed Ji Li with it, Mo Xu You has been carried forward in the hands of his grandson King Xu.
The head of the Cao family wanted to be lazy when he went to the countryside to farm, but what if the king cut him down on the grounds of disrespecting the edict?
If you can do something, you can do something, at least hide people's eyes, and the head of the Cao family is very shrewd, if there is such a tool that can improve the efficiency of water drawing, in addition to farmers, nobles are also beneficiaries, they have land, but also draw water for irrigation.
The more the head of the Cao family thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good thing, and the number of Dingkou was used to collect the fields, although it made him feel distressed, but the number was set, what if this year's harvest was two percent more?
Remove the paid field endowment, and the income is still more than in previous years, and there is no loss!
"Dr. Xin, how do you make this orange?"
The head of the Cao family is dying.
Xin Jia picked up a wooden pole unhurriedly and said, "Don't worry, come with me." ”
He finally understood why the king had let the nobles and courtiers go to the countryside with him, and for no other reason than to use the wisdom of these people.
How did the car come about? It was invented by Li Mu, a courtier of the Yellow Emperor.
How did the drum come about? It was invented by Chang Xian, a courtier of the Yellow Emperor.
How did the farming tools come about? Shennong chopped wood for plowing and kneaded wood for plowing.
The nobles are well-informed and are the most creative and action-oriented groups in the world.
From slash-and-burn farming to wood and stone farming tools and bronze farming tools, most of them are the wisdom creations of these people.
Like Xinjia, many of them do not know how to farm, cannot afford farm tools, and cannot go to the fields, but they have a broader vision than farmers, and can find ways to make farming more convenient, so that people like them who are not good at farming can also make the land abundant.
Looking at the nobles again, looking at the look of the head of the Cao family, you know that he will support it strongly.
After all, the aristocracy is a big landlord, and their vital interests are related, and after being charged a large amount of land endowment, they naturally have to find ways to increase the production of the field, after all, the excess is earned.
It doesn't matter if you have to put in the cost of production, after the transformation into merchants, they are so poor that they have money left.
The ministers of the DPRK and China are responsible for inventing new tools and providing inspiration, while the nobles are responsible for putting them into production and promotion, as a backing, complementing each other!
At this time, Xin Jia had already roughly erected an orange tree by the well.
The old man who helped was queuing up at the well to fetch water, and when he saw Xin Jia and the head of the Cao family coming here, he just bowed down to greet him, but he didn't intend to let these two help.
He completely understood, it would be good if the nobles were out of the way, don't expect them to help.
After waiting for a while, the old man was about to draw water, when he was suddenly stopped by Xin Jia.
"Wait!"
The old man turned around: "Doctor Xin... Is there something wrong?"
He was very afraid that Xin Jia would say that he would help him fetch water, and Xin Jia's little arms and legs would be fatter than himself because he had good food on weekdays.
Xin Jia smiled and said, "I'll fight this water." ”
The old man chuckled in his heart, it's over.
He trembled and handed over the water urn, but fortunately there was a spare one at home.
"Does Dr. Xin know how to fetch water?"
Xin Jia smiled and didn't answer, he knew what the old man was worried about, no need to explain, facts speak louder than words.
The head of the Cao family brought a thick wooden stake, on which was kidnapped a long wooden pole, the end of which hung a boulder, and the front section only had a rope.
Xin Jia tied the water urn to the front rope three times and twos, and then asked the head of the Cao family to stabilize the wooden stake, went to the front end by himself, and pressed the wooden pole and the water urn into the well.
The position of the stone at the end of the wooden pole continued to rise, and Xin Jia roughly estimated that when the urn was full, he pulled the stone at the end, and after a while, the urn that sank into the well was full of well water and rose.
Xin Jia let out a short shout, took off the water urn, held it to the old man, and asked breathlessly, "Is this water full?"
"Full... It's full...."
The old man was stunned for a moment, he didn't quite understand, and subconsciously took the water urn.
Xin Jia directly buckled the water urn upside down on the ground and let the water run dry.
"Doctor Xin, what are you doing...."The old man was so distressed that he slapped his leg urgently, it is not easy for others to fill an urn of water, you don't drink it and don't use it, just spill it on the ground?
How could the king send such a person down to the field, so wanton and recklessly spoil things and disturb the spring ploughing, faint king, faint king!
The old man secretly complained bitterly, but Xin Jia had already hung the urn on the front of the wooden pole again and sank into the well.
He pointed to the stone at the end and said to the old man, "You come." ”
"Huh?" the old man was stunned, and was pulled by Xin Jia to the end of the wooden pole.
Xin Jia said: "Learn from what I did just now, you come and pull this stone and pull up the water urn." ”
The old man looked up, but he had no choice but to pull the rope and pull it down with all his strength.
Eh?
Why did you pull it up like that?
The old man used too much force, and almost fell to the ground one by one, this inexplicable thing was not as difficult as he imagined, but it was extremely labor-saving.
Xin Jia smiled: "Is it easy?"
"Light... Relaxed.... It saves a lot of effort. ”
The old man looked at the well water in the urn and wondered, why is this?
Xin Jia smiled and said: "This thing is called an orange tree, and you can easily get water by driving a wooden stake into the ground, erecting a wooden pole, and wrapping a rope to connect the water urn." ”
"This.... This...."
The old man was confused for a while and couldn't speak.
Xin Jia waved his hand: "Let's go and irrigate the fields first, and I'll take care of fetching water." ”
The old man went to the field with the water urn, and the head of the Cao family let go of the stake, wiped the sweat, and the fat on his stomach trembled.
The orange tree is a fetish!
Although he doesn't know how to farm, he also knows that if he saves the effort to fetch water, he can have more energy to take care of the fields, so why worry about the crops not being able to increase income?
Similar things happened in various villages, and countless ministers and nobles either because of guilt, or because they couldn't bear it, or because they were stealing and cheating, they all improved their farm tools.
As soon as the new farm tools came out, it directly pulled the farming level of the farmers to the same level as the nobles, and everyone can't do anything new!
