Villager of Daming

Chapter 237 Only Laziness Has Orbit Marks (Part [-])
Twelfth lunar month 29, early.

Zhu Biao came over with fireworks: "Master Zhu, let this one go off for you, don't go under the walls on both sides and set it off against the soldiers."

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, let's go to the open space in front, far away from the tent." The village chief said that he is not stupid and knows where to put it safely.

Zhu Biao nodded, the people he brought were having a quick meal, and they brought them back again this morning, so they won't take them here at noon, and dinner too.

"Huh? Why are wooden strips laid on the concrete floor? One by one." Zhu Biao noticed that there were many things on the ground.

"Your Highness doesn't know, people in Xiaqiu Village are getting more and more lazy, saying that the cooking place is far away from Chaoyang Gate, and the waterway brings the vegetables to the shore, so they have to bring them here."

Li Chang looked helpless, as if the villagers were really lazy.

Zhu Biao looked at the head of the village suspiciously: "Don't you guys have carts? Push them with carts."

"There are few things in the cart, we have a lot of people, and a meal consumes a lot of ingredients, not to mention that there is a bluestone pavement, which is bumpy.

It is obviously inappropriate to repair the cement road, it will cover the bluestone road, which is not beautiful, so we have to think of a way.

It is convenient to lay the wooden slats on the ground, and it is easier to push and pull the car than the original wheeled car. "

The village head continued to explain the reason, they were all forced, who made everyone lazy!
"What about the car? Let's see, how can it be better than the original one!" Zhu Biao wondered, what is there to do in Xiaqiu Village?

"Over there, it will be ready soon, well, look, they pushed it to the front, there is a small slope in front, and the wheel is stuck on this wooden bar."

Following what the chief said, a car was pushed out there, with four wheels, but they were not universal wheels, and they were different from normal wheels.

Hanhan is the main force, moving the car to the wooden track, pushing it forward, and the car will move forward along the track.

Zhu Biao stepped forward, followed the car, and helped to push it: "It can save so much energy, but it's not much. Besides, the wheels can't turn freely, it seems..."

"Your Highness doesn't know something. The universal wheel is good. How to push it in our copper mine in Xiaqiu Village?
Send the car and the track into the mine, add a carriage brake, install a car, and pull it out by animals or people, which saves effort than carrying it on your back.

The mine cannot be paved with concrete roads. If the wooden strips are afraid of breaking, they should be thicker, covered with iron, and the wheels are also covered with iron. "

The chief finally explained the real function of this thing. For a car with universal wheels, if you are afraid of bumps, you can add old bamboo chips for shock absorption.

The village is adjusting the research, and I believe it will be completed soon, and the baby's stroller and wheelchair will be more comfortable.

Zhu Biao: "..."

He stared at the chief for a while: "Okay, what a lazy man. It's really convenient to transport ore. Wherever there is a track, it must be easy to drive.

It takes a lot of effort to build a road suitable for heavy vehicles, but it is relatively easy to repair the track. I have seen the track and spliced ​​it together. If any section is broken, you can replace it.

The two wooden strips are used as rails, and the middle connection is used for fixing.If the large open-pit iron mine uses this rail and this car, it can continuously send ore to the riverside. "

Zhu Biao spoke highly of it. This idea is simply ingenious. No one has ever thought of mining for thousands of years.

"Your Highness, if you are talking about transporting the ore to the riverside, Caomin has a picture here, can you help me correct it?"

Seeing that the other party mentioned the big iron mine, the village chief handed over the picture he copied from his pocket.

The prince received it and narrowed his eyes, as if he was wondering if the drawn line was in the right position with the surrounding mountains, but he had no impression.

The final location to the Yangtze River in the picture is the Huashan District in Zhu Wentian’s time. This place is high in the east and low in the west. The Nanshan iron ore is transported here, and it is most convenient to lay tracks.

It wasn't Zhu Wentian's own thought, but he did it in the past, why didn't he go elsewhere?Certainly not as good as this line.

Zhu Biao took a look, folded the picture and put it away: "Zhu Lichang, seeing the new year, others are thinking about how to spend this year, but you are worrying about Daming's affairs.

And make things out, and then prepare drawings, you should know how many times this rail car can increase ore transportation.

Moti In ancient times, even if Beiyuan was here, no one had ever thought of ways to explode mines with gunpowder and send stones by rail cars.

Using the two methods together, compared with the past, it should be more than ten times faster.Daming lacked both copper and iron, and the common people had more iron wares in their homes. "

"Since this is the case, can Your Highness double the wages of the miners? I entered the city yesterday and came back full of tears. Those who are covered in silk are not silkworm farmers." The chief of the village naturally knows more than Zhu Biao, and he wants to benefit the miners .

"You should give it. The pottery is all the soil in front of the door, and there are no tiles on the house. The ten fingers are not stained with mud, and the scales live in the building." Zhu Biao agreed, and also said a poem.

"Caomin is throwing an ax in front of His Majesty's door, people! Just like animals, only after they are well fed can they have the strength to work.

Mine carts can be transported by people when they come out of the well, and when they go to the open land outside, they should be pulled by animals when the journey is long.

It is a virtuous circle to use the iron produced by the iron ore to build the axis of mining and transportation. The road with a steep slope is short, and it is not as long as a road with a gentle slope. "

The head of the village also talked about the arrangement of the mine. It is the same for digging in open-pit mines, except that animals can be used directly.

Zhu Biao nodded solemnly: "I have made a note of it, and I will definitely do it according to it. Your track is good, and it will be repaired to the gate of Chaoyang Gate.

Let’s build another entrance to Donghuamen. Let’s build one to the inner entrance of Donghuamen at the Prince’s Mansion, leaving a section for splicing at any time.

When the city gate is closed, put the spliced ​​part aside, and then connect it when the city gate is open, so that we can save energy when we come to fetch food, hey!It's all because Ben Gong is lazy! "

Chief: "..."

Zhu Biao went back to the Prince's Mansion, pushing the cart with universal wheels. The people who tested the drug were very grateful to Xiaqiu Village for a new thing that made them full.

"Wait in a hurry?" Zhu Biao returned to the mansion and said to the princess.

"No rush! Did something happen to your Highness today?" The Crown Princess shook her head.

"Xiaqiu Village gave another good thing..." Zhu Biao took out the food and put it on the table while explaining the situation.

"It seems that people should be lazy. The lazier the smarter." The princess washed her hands and sat down with a smile.

"Others are busy celebrating the new year, they are busy trying to find ways to improve the national strength of Ming Dynasty. I will go and tell Father about this in a while, so that the palace will have a good year this year!"

The more Zhu Biao thinks about it, the happier he feels. There are too many things this year, and the key is all good things.

Wheat production in dry areas has only been reduced by [-]%, and there are ways to increase production in other places.

Once the canal is opened, there is no need to worry about water transportation next year.

The experts in Xiaqiu Village came up with a few more good ideas before the Chinese New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, we will implement the mine carts and tracks. Five people carrying [-] catties of ore are different from five people pulling a mine cart loaded with [-] catties of ore.

Even though the mine cart has its own weight, it still saves effort when pulled by people. Five people can pull a thousand catties of ore up a gentle slope without much effort.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao ate breakfast together, and the porridge without sugar felt sweet.
