The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 45 Miss Guo's Loved Third Uncle?
To make a hydraulic saw, you must make a serious water turbine instead of the current water rotor, because it has requirements for speed and hydraulic power.If the speed is too slow or the hydraulic power is not enough, the wooden saw cannot be pulled apart.

The hydraulic power is not enough to rely on the water flow from the water diversion tank. The hydraulic saw must rely on the impact of the large water flow in the main river to form sufficient power.This will inevitably involve infrastructure construction on the river and renovation of the river, and of course changes in the water regime must also be considered.The water flow along the main channel of the Chuan River is usually not large, so it is difficult to say when there is a flood. According to the old people, sometimes when there is a flood along the Chuan River, the flow can even be equal to the water of the Yellow River in Wazhou City.

In the area along the Sichuan River, there is a widely circulated legend.It is said that the Yanchuan River used to be a big river, and there was a rich man named Luo Wanshi here, who said very arrogantly that if the Luo family is to be poor, unless the water in Xiaohezi is dry and the stone is red.As a result, the Lord Dragon, upon hearing this wild words, dried up the water of Xiaohezi, a tributary of the Yanchuan River, exposing the bottom of the Red Stone River. Since then, the Yanchuan River has become a small river, but its channel is not small, and it can be vaguely seen that it was a big river back then.

As big as the water of the Yellow River, how big is it?If the infrastructure of the hydraulic saw is not solid, the hard-working saw will have nothing left after a flood.In the choice of location, the water used must be the water of the main river, but it cannot be directly opened on the main river. A new river must be dug, and the water will be drawn to drive the turbine at ordinary times. When there is a flood, the flood will be discharged through the main river.Otherwise, in the face of such a large force of nature, no matter how strong the facility is, it would be difficult to carry it.

Changing the river course is not a small project. In addition to the production of related machinery, as well as the materials and labor costs for building the sawmill shed, no matter how cheap it is, it is impossible to make a hydraulic saw, and the investment cannot be less than 20 taels of silver.

For the time being, the working capital of the Song family doesn't seem to be enough for such a job. Even if it is enough, it may not be easy for grandpa and the family to get the money out.The current problem in making hydraulic saws is not only the lack of technology but also the lack of money. It is not easy to make them.

But in any case, this thing must be made as soon as possible. As long as the hydraulic saw is made, the production efficiency will be improved qualitatively.For example, if a shelf car is assisted by a hydraulic saw, three people can work together for a day to get it done!Unlike now, it takes days of work to make one.

The hand-operated noodle press that has just been trial-produced, as well as the blower, etc., if you want to make a lot of money, you have to count on the help of the hydraulic saw.

If there is no money to rest the river for the time being, how can we slowly make out the parts that can be made first, and solve the technical and financial problems step by step?It takes a few months to accumulate slowly, and this thing can always be done.

While Song Yingkui was designing the hydraulic saw and trial-manufacturing related accessories, a customer came to the shop, Carpenter Qin whom he hadn't seen for several months.

"Uncle Qin? Why come to our Wuying Town when you have time? You can find me right now?" Seeing Carpenter Qin, Song Yingkui thought that he was looking for him to go out to work again.

"When I went to the streets of Wuying Town to inquire, someone said that you opened the shop at the mouth of the Yanchuan Gorge. I have been to this place, what can I not find? By the way, your shop is pretty good except for being a bit off-center, especially the water spinners you made. It will save a lot of labor." After Qin Carpenter arrived at the shop, he looked curiously around the hydraulic machines Song Yingkui made.

"It's okay, it saves some effort. Uncle Qin came here this time, you're afraid you didn't come here just to see me?"

After hearing Song Yingkui's words, Qin Carpenter glanced at Uncle Song Yingkui, and then said, "The main reason I came here this time is that I took over the job of building a water mill in Shuichuan County. I can handle the carpentry work, but I can't do the iron parts. I want to ask you if I can make the iron parts first, so I can take them directly to Shuichuan?"

"If you still make it according to the size of Guo's mill, I can do the iron work according to that size here, and then you can bring it over and put it on after you're done." It seems that this will be a water mill, and Carpenter Qin is not going to bring himself a share of the pie.Having said that, if he were an assistant craftsman, Song Yingkui still felt that he would not earn enough money.Keeping this shop, you can earn almost this much money in a month.

"That's all right, how much do you need to do these iron work and materials? How long will it take to make it. Next time I come to pick up the goods, I will bring the money with me."

"The iron material needs about five taels of silver, and the wages also have to be the same amount. Add up to ten taels, do you like it?" Song Yingkui quoted the price when he saw the carpenter Qin asking for the price.

"All right! Your price is cheaper than finding other blacksmith shops. The price is right. Speaking of which, the Guo family built a mill last time, but you got a lot of credit. You hired a craftsman to do two jobs. By the way, do you still remember the girl from the Guo family who always came to deliver meals to us when we built the mill?" Just talking about the price, Carpenter Qin suddenly changed the topic to the girl of the Guo family.

Turning around such a big bay, what does Carpenter Qin want to say?Song Yingkui replied with some puzzlement: "I seem to have a little impression, which girl is quite tall."

"It's good to have an impression. I have another thing to come here this time. That girl has reached the age of talking about her. I don't know if your Song family wants to marry this family?"

Could it be that Carpenter Qin came here to say hello to me?We are only 17 years old, isn't it too early to talk about kissing now? "Uncle, I'm still young here, and my family is not in a hurry to find relatives. Besides, the Guo family has a high family background, so it's not easy to find relatives."

Carpenter Qin glanced at Song Yingkui, laughed, and said with a smile: "Who wants to tell your baby about marriage? I came here to ask if your third father is engaged. If you are not engaged, you can tell your family members. I am planning to find someone to go to the door of Guo's house to ask. Anyway, I think this relationship can be established."

what does it mean?Carpenter Qin came here to ask about his marriage with third uncle?In other words, this matter seems to be a bit out of reach!The Song family and the Guo family had no intersection before, that is, they did carpentry work for his family last year.Why does Carpenter Qin think that the Song family can be close to the Guo family?
What kind of disciple is the Guo family?There is a large mill in the county town, and there is land, and there is a shop!Lun's family fortune is estimated to be heavier than that of the Jiang family in Xiaoguanzhuang. Can he marry his daughter to a poor family like the Song family?Song Yingkui, a daughter of the Guo family, has also seen her. She looks very upright and tall, and she can't see any faults. It's a bit unbelievable to think about it.

"Uncle, what you're talking about, why do you think it's weird? The Guo family's disciples and our Song family probably won't be able to catch up."

"You baby, what do you mean it feels a little weird? You can understand the matter of getting married! Hurry up and let your adults pass the word on, and I will tell you that if you miss this good marriage, it will be really difficult to encounter such a good thing again! You tell your adults: The girl is still waiting for the letter, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

The girl is still waiting for the letter?Could it be that the daughter of the Guo family took a fancy to her third uncle and asked Carpenter Qin to come over to reveal the news?Girls in this era can make their own decisions in matters of marriage?Such a good thing, how come it's the third uncle's turn instead of me, it's really strange that it happens every year, especially this year!
