Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 331;

Chapter 330: Nine-toothed rake, come to a more ruthless one.

Li Yu and the four blacksmiths of Zhang's family came back from the ridge of the river. On the way, they ordered a servant to go back to the mansion quickly, ride to Zhang's blacksmith's family, and inform the veteran blacksmiths in that family to come to the mansion. Start work and go all out to build Quyuanli.

A few blacksmiths were arranged here to start work quickly and continue to build new plows, and a carpenter from the public loser was found there, and he ordered excitedly;

"Mr. Gongshu, the plow frame and plow cover you built for me this morning, quickly get me some more."

The leader of the public losers, Gong Shuang, explained carefully;

"Huh? Sir, didn't you tell me that this batch of cabinets and dressing tables should be built as soon as possible and taken to the palace? They are making tributes for the palace. Look, it's only half done..."

Li Yuhui waved his hand, interrupting what the leader of the public loser was explaining;
"Don't worry about that, the empress won't complain, hurry up and make the plow frame and plow case like in the morning, this is very important.

By the way, you guys get me another square frame, like this, like this... yes, it’s like this, it needs to be five feet long and two feet wide, just make it according to my gestures. "

Gongshu Ang asked very puzzled;

"Lang Jun, what is the use of this kind of frame? I have never seen anyone who only needs a frame, for a door? This size is not enough?"

Li Yu didn't want to make those unnecessary explanations, so he ordered directly;

"Don't worry about it, just make it like this. The horizontal bars on both sides have nine holes, open up and down, just a little thicker than your thumb."

The helpless Gong Shuang could only obey orders to work, although he was very clueless, he still gave instructions to a group of carpenters;

"Everyone stopped what they were doing first, and started to make the frame and plow cover for the plow pulled by a single ox in the morning. I went to the warehouse to find a piece of wood to make the frame that Mr. Lang said."

"It's the public transportation management."

A group of carpenters immediately stopped their work and began to make single-cow frame sets.

Li Yu watched the carpenters start to work, and then left to go to the yard where the iron was made. After gesturing with one of Zhang Laoshi's nephews for a while, he made it clear which big iron nail he wanted.

Zhang Laoshi's nephew didn't talk nonsense, he made fifty or sixty iron nails half a foot long and short in just over an hour.

Li Yu commanded Li Yi and several people to take a bunch of big iron nails and ran to the front yard. Gong Shuang had already made six identical frames, and everyone was digging out their eyes one by one.

Li Yu could only watch Gong Shuang from the side, and finally got through the eighteen holes of the first frame, then picked up a big iron nail and stuffed it in. hammer.

Li Yu looked at the puzzled Gong Shuang, knowing that if he didn't explain the purpose clearly, he might not be able to sleep well tonight, so he could only explain carefully;

After this is done, insert all eighteen large iron nails, seal the top, and let the iron nails below leak out, and then put them in the ground.

Put a rope on the frame around the cow's neck, the cow pulls in front, and a person stands behind, and walks back and forth twice, and the big mud plowed out can be smashed into pieces.

This will make it easier to cultivate in the future. After the field is softened, we will flood the field with water, and then we can plant rice seedlings and plant millet.

Others who do not grow millet, but grow corn and wheat, use this nine-toothed nail harrow to harrow the plowed land again, which is even more effective.

When planting seeds, the land is soft, and the grain is easy to break out of the ground, so farmers all over the world can get a little more harvest. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing, what do you think, Mr. Gongshu? "

Hearing this, Gongshu Pan suddenly realized, clapped his hands and sighed;

"Wonderful, really wonderful, Mr. Lang is really ingenious. There is no record of these in my ancestor's Luban secret strategy. I don't know where Mr. Lang learned it from."

Li Yu replied seriously;
"Gongshu Guan doesn't know anything about it. In Luban's Secret Policy, although there is no record of the method of this rake, it still tells all the secrets and important things in the world.

For example, there are no pictures of cabinets or dressing tables in the secret policy, and there is no mention of it. Why is the public transportation manager so clever? "

"This……"

Gong Shuang was in a state of distress, and he thought that you still asked me, didn’t you make up these pictures? If you don’t make it, who would know about it?

Li Yu smiled lightly again;

"Don't be confused about the public transport manager. To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of learning and applying it. It's not beneficial to study by rote, and you must not study it by rote.

You only need to learn the basic things inside, and the rest is to learn and apply. As long as you have a flexible mind and innovative ideas, can you create something out of nothing!
As long as it is useful to people, you can make it one by one. If you think about it, isn't this just learning and using it? "

Li Yu's words were like five thunderbolts, and Gong Shuang stood there in a daze, dazed. Li Yu knew that this situation was like an epiphany, so he couldn't disturb him. As for the amount of epiphany, it depends on his fortune. .

Li Yu left lightly, and turned back towards the yard where the blacksmiths were working. Only when he came to the yard did he find that the dozen or so blacksmiths of the Zhang family had all arrived.

Even the apprentices who were usually used as helpers were brought over. Those who cleaned up the iron ingots, those who lit the stove, and Zhang Laoshi's two sons and a nephew who were beating and hammering. The whole yard was very busy.

Blacksmith Zhang was instructing the seven or eight newcomers, learning how the three were building plowshares, and pointing at the dried mud plowshares on the ground from time to time.

Explained in detail, what needs to be paid attention to where it is bent, a group of people listened attentively, and Li Yu also stood in the yard, seeing clearly.

For Zhang Laoshi's foresight and skills, Li Yu admired Zhang Laoshi's vision and skills, and also sighed in his heart, today he only hit that one, Zhang Laoshi seemed to have spent half his life, and he spoke clearly and logically. This kind of person is born to eat iron. Rice, authentic industry insiders.

Yingxiang moved Li Yu a grand master's chair, and Li Yu sat like that. After half an hour, three new plowshares were slowly built, which were exactly the same as the previous ones, and the size was about the same.

Zhang Laoshi's other clansmen watched the whole process and got the explanation from the patriarch. They already had an idea in their minds, and they all began to fumble around.

There are four large iron furnaces in the yard, all of which are burning red, and more than a dozen people are divided into shifts. Zhang Laoshi also explained that each person has to forge two iron plows by himself tonight, and the night meal will be arranged by the mansion. Only those who complete the task can call it a day and go home.

Li Yu was looking at the busy Zhang Laoshi, who was strictly supervising the clansmen, and Tanchun came to report by his side;

"Reporting to my lord, the public transport steward in front called me to report, saying that those rakes are ready, and my lord can take them to the river."

Li Yu was very happy to hear that the rake was ready;

"Oh, that's great, it's not dark yet, let's go right away, take it to the river field, and do it on the spot for the common people to see, so you don't have to bother in the future."

With the three maids, Li Yu quickly came to the front yard and checked carefully, Gong Shuang explained;

"Your Majesty, don't worry about using it. I added wood to the top of every iron nail, so it won't come out when it's stable. It won't be a problem after ten years of use."

Li Yu raised his head and cupped his fists at Gongshu Ang;
"Thank you to the Gongshu family. The new plow was built by the Zhang family. The plow frame and the rake are all made by Gongshu. Thanks to a certain generation of farmers."

Gongshu Ang didn't expect Li Yu to salute, and hurried forward to help him up;
"Oh my lord, what are you doing, you're hurting me, you're hurting me, compared to the great kindness of the lord, we are nothing,

What's more, Mr. Lang gave me enlightening mantra teachings, but I am half a teacher, how dare I accept the big gift, Mr. Lang is harming me. "

Li Yu said with a smile;

"It's worth it. By the way, the public transport manager. This kind of plow frame and rake will be vigorously built recently. The farmers and people in our village must ensure that each family has a set, and every family must have one."

Gongshu Ang patted his chest and spoke righteous words;
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, this kind of small work, call those carpenters back, it will take about a month."

"That's great. I won't disturb your work. I'll go to the river to try it out and see how the rake works. Let Li Yi go."

"Yes, sir. Hurry up, you guys carry these up, hurry up."

"Guard Li, how many rakes do you take?"

Seeing that the Patriarch had gone out, Li Yi was still rambling, and said casually;

"Take it all, hurry up."

More than a dozen servants quickly agreed, and two people lifted one, and they got up and walked away. In fact, it was not heavy, but it was a little longer.

Li Yusheng was afraid that it would be dark after a while, so he walked quickly, two or three miles, and soon reached the river.

Many people began to salute;
"Lang Jun is here."

"Lang Jun Wanfu."

"Lang Jun eats it for nothing..."

"Lang Jun has grown up again..."

The country people are all farmers, and they don't know the rules of etiquette. There are all kinds of greetings, and Li Yu doesn't mind. He walks all the way, smiling and nodding to the people.

When they came to Zou Shuyi, the Zou sisters didn't care, they were still staring at Zou Tonglin in the field.

Li Yu followed his gaze and saw that Zou Tonglin had moved to another field, swaying leisurely, and the cattle were also walking step by step, not fast. Looking around, both fields had been plowed.

Li Yu couldn't help sighing;

"Your brother is really very intelligent, plowing the field at such a speed would make ordinary people panic, but the cattle are not tired at all.

The buffer space is the largest. If you rest four or five times in half a day, it will consume less energy for strong cattle. This method of using cattle will not be exhausted even if you work for a day every day.

If you urge the cattle to run vigorously, the speed may be very fast at the beginning, but as the strength of the cattle loses, it will become more and more difficult and slower. , I'm afraid to stand..."

When the two sisters Zou Shuyi heard the voice, they knew that Li Yu was coming. The two sisters turned their heads and watched Li Yu speak, and only waited for Li Yu's voice to fall, and then Zou Shuyi spoke;
"Lang Jun, when did you come, the servants don't even know?"
