Primitives are stunned

Chapter 207 The Vanishing Coin

'click'

The sound of wood breaking came from above the waterwheel.The carpenter's face turned white in an instant.

'Boom'

The base twisted and deformed, and finally could no longer bear the weight of the waterwheel, and the entire windmill fell from above.

After hitting the base, the waterwheel quickly twisted and deformed under the huge impact force.

Then, with a tooth-piercing 'squeak' sound, it disintegrated in all directions, and countless parts were washed away with the river water.

People by the river rushed down to salvage the hard-sawed planks nearby, while the carpenter, as if he had lost his soul, sat down on the ground with a white face.

"Why! Why! What's wrong? What's wrong?" The carpenter kept saying while pulling his hair.

A woman next to her cried out with a 'wow'.

He ran over and kept patting the carpenter with his hands.

"Don't try it a second time, you have to refuse to listen, and now you fail again, how can you let us live!" the woman cried.

She is the carpenter's wife.Now the village is not the same as before.

In the old village, as long as your surname was Wang, you would not die of hunger if others had a bite to eat.But now, the village will not provide you with food for free.

Except for Wang Hao, including the giant, if they want to live in the village, they all need money.

If it is said that making the waterwheel for the second time is just a matter of ruining their family fortune, with the skill of the carpenter, after completing the daily tasks of the village, they can still find time to help the tribe make some gadgets. Before long, they will be able to live affluent lives again.

However, in order to build the waterwheel for the second time, the carpenter not only cleared all his property, but even mortgaged his set of carpentry tools to the village. I borrowed it all over again.

It has failed now, even if it is sold to them, it will not be able to repay the debt behind the buttocks.

The woman's slap, like a windmill, landed on the carpenter's face. Although it looked amazing, it didn't use much strength. It was just a way for her to vent her despair.

The carpenter sat on the ground and didn't dodge, he kept staring at his wife's elbow.

Why can a human arm keep turning in circles, but the wheels of a waterwheel cannot?Theoretically speaking, there is absolutely no problem with making it by yourself. The carpenter really couldn't figure out what made him fail twice in a row.

Pick up a piece of grass and a stick from the ground, tie the grass to the stick, and try to make it rotate around the stick.

Seeing that he was still in the mood to play with these things at this time, his mother-in-law couldn't help being furious, and slapped the things in his hand to the ground.

A flash of inspiration flashed in the carpenter's mind, and he was in a daze as he looked at the wooden sticks and grass that had fallen to the ground, unable to speak for a long time.

It wasn't until his mother-in-law fell on him and burst into tears that he suddenly stood up and shouted: "I understand!"

Wang Hao, who witnessed the whole process of the waterwheel falling apart, sighed, not everyone is as talented as Gu Mu and himself, ahem, well, I am indeed inferior to Gu Mu.

Wangcun's foundation is still too weak, especially when it is now transferred from business to private, it cannot withstand too much squandering.To cultivate reliable manpower, the time is still too tight.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the carpenter's hoarse cry.

Turning his head, he looked at the carpenter on the beach, pulling the clansmen who were walking back one by one, hoping to get their help for the last time.

However, two consecutive failures have completely made these people desperate for carpenters.

It's okay if they are well-off.However, most of them had already provided all their family resources to support the carpenter, but in the end they were all in vain, losing time and money.It's because of their past relationship that they didn't break up with the carpenter now, and now it's impossible for them to support the carpenter again.

In the end, except for the giant and the carpenter, even the spectators left on the beach.

The simple and honest giant seemed unable to see that the carpenter had no energy left to pay his wages.After wading across the big river, some parts that floated to the other side were also fished back, and they were put on the riverside.

The carpenter gave the giant a grateful look, thanked him, and then struggled to pick up some planks and walked towards the village.

His mother-in-law wiped away the tears from her face, picked up a big board and followed behind the carpenter.

Just as the carpenter was about to enter the village, Wang Hao stood up and stood in front of him.

"Hao!"

The carpenter yelled softly, lowered his head and looked at Wang Hao shamelessly.

"What's the use of carrying these boards back?" Wang Hao asked.

"I, I want to try again with these boards. I can make them smaller to make a small windmill. Even if I still fail, I can let others learn from my failure in the future." The carpenter whispered.

"Is there a problem with the drawing?" Wang Hao continued to ask.

"no problem."

"The problem is working?" Wang Hao asked again.

"I've tried to do the best I can."

"Then did you find out what caused the failure?"

"I know!" The carpenter's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There is no problem with the drawings, but it is impossible for anyone to make the things on the drawings, because the size, size, and even quality of each fan blade cannot have the slightest difference, and the level of the base cannot have the slightest difference." Tilt. In this way, the water wheel will definitely work normally. However, no matter what we do, we can't do it that accurately, so once the water wheel turns, it will tilt slightly towards the lower side, which will rub against the base , and then the whole waterwheel will be destroyed." The carpenter said, this was the only reason he could think of.

Wang Hao felt that what he said made sense, and then asked: "Can you find a solution?"

"Yes, as long as the gap between the rotating shafts is appropriately increased, and then the middle part of the wooden shaft is slightly ground to make it sink, there will be absolutely no problem for a long time." The carpenter said.

From Wang Hao's words, he heard a possibility.And he knew that as long as Wang Hao gave an order, the whole tribe would assist him in his third windmill attempt.

However, Wang Hao's next sentence completely drove him into the abyss.

"Now every ounce of power in the tribe has to contribute to the construction of Huacheng, and we must also guard against the next invasion of Jiulong Mountain, so there is no extra power to help you try again." Wang Hao said.

The carpenter's face turned pale just now, and Wang Hao said so, so his ending is completely settled.

"However, I can subsidize you once in my own name." Wang Hao said.

The turning point was too fast, the happiness came too suddenly, and the carpenter didn't know what to say.

"What is a personal name?" asked the carpenter.

"My mother-in-law has saved some money during this period, and I can give it to you to help you build the waterwheel for the last time. If it succeeds, the village will still buy it, and then you will have money to repay the debt you owe." Wang Hao Said.

"Hao! I will succeed this time!" The carpenter burst into tears with excitement, and even his mother-in-law showed a hint of joy on her face.

Wang Hao nodded, and then said: "You have to tell yourself whether you succeed or not. However, if you still fail this time, the amount of debt you owe is too huge, and I will demote you into a slave. The rest of my life will have to be used forever to repay the debt."

"Yes!" the carpenter gritted his teeth.

"Hao, nephew Hao, I beg you not to make him a slave. If he fails, I am willing to work every day to help him pay off his debts!" Stop drinking.

In Wang Hao's view, people are forced out. If you are not forced, you will never know how great your potential is.

This carpenter has been trained by himself for a long time. After observation, he is indeed the most talented person in construction in the village. Wang Hao is reluctant to demote him into a slave and let him do coolies. After all, he has too few people to use. .

But don't scare him at this time, who can guarantee that he can do his best to build this waterwheel.

"And, this time, I will help you with conditions." Wang Hao continued.

"No matter what the conditions, I agree!" The carpenter said immediately.

After dinner, Wang Hao looked at Huacheng's drawings by the table with a simple oil lamp, and Qian Duo walked in happily clutching his chest.

As the head of the clan, Wang Hao naturally couldn't sleep in the thatched hut every day, especially now that the village is full of people from other villages, and he is young, so he needs to establish his prestige even more.

Although he repeatedly felt that these were indifferent, the clan members had very unified opinions and separated a small single room on the side of the factory building.

And Wang Hao became the first person to live in a brick house after those pregnant women.

Carefully closing the door, Qian Duo happily sat on the long bench next to Wang Hao.

One held Wang Hao's arm, and then carefully removed the hand clasped on his chest.

Several large and small black iron and wood coins emerged from Qian Duo's hand.

He smiled happily, his eyes were crescent-shaped, two dimples appeared on his face, and he was nodding the coins in his hand one by one like a little money fan.

This time of day is the happiest time of her day.Not only can I count the wages of the day, but I can also hold Wang Hao's arm and sit next to him.

Although Qian Duo is a girl, she suffers more than many men in the clan. She holds three jobs by herself.In addition to making breakfast and spinning hemp every day, after everyone gets off work, she also needs to take stock of supplies and pack tools.

So, although she is a girl, she earns more than many men.

After counting several times in a row to make sure it was correct, Qian Duo showed a sweet smile at Wang Hao, then removed the two bricks blocking the head of the bed, and took out a clay pot hidden inside.

But at this time, Wang Hao's face became a little unnatural.

Although he is the patriarch, when the salary was set, everyone, including himself, forgot about him. In the eyes of everyone, the whole village belongs to Wang Hao, so what is the use of money for him.

Therefore, the money in the clay pot was accumulated by Qian Duo little by little. Of course, half of it was picked up when she listened to Wang Hao's words and cleaned up the dining shed after dinner.

Looking at the empty clay pot, Qian Duo was suddenly stunned.I reached out and touched from behind the bricks, but found that there was nothing behind.

"That." Wang Hao grinned, and when he was about to speak, he saw two tears slipping from the corners of Qian Duo's eyes.
