I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 128 Human life is more important than iron!
Yang Licheng was very curious about what Guo Yi said was more important than Piaozi, and he made Piaozi much faster than usual.

Just as Guo Yi was about to reach out to take out the blueprints from his pocket, he saw King Chu coming in from the outside with Steward Zhu.

"Haha! Erlang, just as you left with a dozen carpenters on your front foot, I arrived on your back foot. I was quite curious, so I followed!"

The king of Chu was depressed for a long time because of the regular meeting in the morning, and he was not in the mood to do anything. After assigning the task, he came out with his personal servant.

When they arrived at the bobbin workshop, they heard that Guo Yi had taken away more than a dozen carpenters, so he followed them out of curiosity.

Seeing this, Guo Yi didn't talk nonsense, he just picked up the pawn that he had just put down, went to another wall, and performed for him with all his strength.

Although the King of Chu does not work hard and does not distinguish the five grains, he is still quite smart. He immediately understood after a little thought, imitated him excitedly, gestured back and forth, and said incoherently: "It, this, this thing Is it used to harvest rice?"

"Well, it's used for harvesting rice! More than ten times faster than a sickle!"

When it was mentioned that it was faster than a sickle, the King of Chu was confused again, his face was full of confusion, what is a sickle?
But Guanshi Zhu next to him was more straightforward, turned around and found a sickle, pouted his buttocks and began to increase his knowledge.

In the end, not surprisingly, he cut his buttocks for a long time there, his clothes were drenched with sweat, and he didn't cut much...

Very intuitive comparison, blind people can see which is better.

"Ah! This..."

Is this too slow?

King Chu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.Hey guys, there's such a big difference between the two?
If everyone uses this thing, how much manpower will be saved?

Moreover, there is no need to ask, it must be a new type of rice harvesting tool created by Guo Yi.

"Hey! Your Highness, I have recruited a dozen carpenters and plan to make a batch of samples first."

Before he finished speaking, the King of Chu immediately nodded in agreement and said, "I understand what you mean! The Guhui will issue an urgent document for six hundred miles and send an order to all the villages and towns below.

When one of the models comes out, one will be sent out alone!Try to catch up with this year's rice harvest! "

After speaking, he called Guanshi Zhu, who was covered in sweat, and ordered him to issue a notice to recruit some carpenters for a hundred dollars a day.

But Guanshi Zhu knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, got on his horse and set off.

Seeing him walking away, the King of Chu took the plunder in Guo Yi's hand, looked at it over and over, and then suddenly said: "Oh! I understand, no wonder you let those blacksmiths divide into three groups, so it turned out to be forging this long knife! "

"Hmm. This plunder is good, but it's a bit wasteful of iron!" The current Great Zhou Dynasty is very iron-deficient.The biggest reason for emptying out the treasury of Jiangling is to build a large number of new Luoyang shovels.That's a big iron man.

The king of Chu waved his hands indifferently when he heard the words: "Oh! You can't say that, human life is much more valuable than iron! If the iron is gone, you can dig again, but human life only has one life!"

On this point, he can still distinguish clearly.

When Guo Yi heard what he said, he couldn't help but smile. This king of Chu does have such and other shortcomings, but as far as his idea just now is concerned, it is more precious than many other advantages!
Being able to recognize the importance of human life should be a necessary condition for a generation of Mingjun.

Such a monarch should perhaps be worth following.

Thinking of this, he reached out and took out the blueprint of the thresher from his pocket, smiled at him and flaunted, "Today, I'll let you see another artifact."

Just this sentence,

His Royal Highness King Chu's curiosity was immediately overwhelmed, and he couldn't help raising his brows. He followed Guo Yi and entered the hut.

I saw Guo Yi spread a few drawings on the table, and explained them to Yang Licheng and the old Huang in detail: "This is a thresher! After we harvested the rice before, we either used a flail to shoot hard, or The roller presses back and forth."

Yang Licheng and the old Huang Tou'er heard the words, and immediately nodded in agreement and responded: "Yes! Yes! You have to use the flail to shoot desperately. After taking pictures of piles and piles, you dare not rest for a moment.

There is a lot of rain in Jiangnan, if you don’t hurry up and put it away, you will have to soak it when it rains!
After soaking, the rice has to germinate!This spring and summer has been a waste of work! "

Yang Licheng also nodded again and again, his face full of memories: "No! Take the rice back, if you don't hurry up and put it away, you won't be able to sleep well at night, and you're afraid it will rain in the middle of the night!"

And the King of Chu stood aside, listening to his knowledge.Only then did he realize that it was like this... It turned out that farming is so hard.

Seeing that they all understood, Guo Yi pointed to the blueprint on the table and continued, "This thing is a thresher! It can be used instead of flails and rollers, and it can be driven by a water wheel or stepped on by feet.

Moreover, this thresher is more than a hundred times faster than the flail! "

A hundred times faster than a flail?
How is this possible, it's too exaggerated...

The three of them, the King of Chu and Yang Licheng, were a little unconscious, after all, they hadn't seen the real thing...

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Guo Yi didn't force it, so he went on to say, "Hey! The structure of this threshing machine is still very simple. Let's make a small prototype first. You can try it and you will know.

Outside it is a long and large wooden barrel, with a horizontal shaft inside, and a dozen vertical forks are arranged in a spiral shape on the horizontal shaft. "

While talking, Guo Yi took the bamboo charcoal pen again, and drew again slowly on a piece of white paper.

This time, Yang Licheng and the old Huang Touer nodded and agreed: "I see! It's not difficult to make. If you make a small one first, it will take more than an hour."

After finishing speaking, they glanced at each other and saw each other's affirmative expressions, then nodded again to confirm: "More than one hour is enough!"

Both of them are well-known old carpenters in ten miles and eight villages, and they are both acquainted with each other, and they are very clear about each other's attainments.

"Okay!" Guo Yi nodded with a smile and said, "I'll push off other things today, and make this thresher together with you."

He was very clear about the priorities of the matter, and with the mature and steady Yang Lijie watching over the trading market, nothing unexpected happened.

As for the paving of the official road in the north of the city, Yang Liwen supervised the construction. He is recognized as the smartest of Li's generation, and he is fully competent.

As for the porcelain kiln, he had written to his hometown yesterday, asking Yang Huijin and the others to come over today.Calculating the time, they should have arrived long ago.

However, when he went out in the morning, he had told Zhuzi to wait for Yang Huijin and the others at the gate of the west city and take them directly to the porcelain kiln.

And Yang Huijin and the others are here, and when the work here is over, they will start making colored porcelain tomorrow, and he will be in charge of painting.

Counting the days, Shen Chengjiang of Ruifeng Company estimated that he would be here soon.

Before he comes, some colored porcelain must be fired quickly.

As for those ordinary white porcelains, according to Yang Liwen, quite a few have been fired these days, estimated to number in the thousands.

Shen Chengjiang came just in time when he was short of money.
