Datang romantic little landlord

After working on the threshing machine for a long time, it is necessary to maintain the threshing machine, oil it, change the belt and so on.

After a long time, Li Wangyou naturally understood the working principle of the threshing machine.

And this kind of threshing machine is the simplest one, with a very simple structure.

A wooden box for receiving fallen rice.

Install a wooden drum on the box, nail many curved iron nails on the surface of the drum, and install a handle for shaking on the side of the drum, and you're done.

Although this simple threshing machine is not as efficient as a pedal, and it is even more tiring, but Li Wangyou can't control that much, anyway, he is not the one who does the work...

Besides, even if hand cranking is more tiring than pedaling, compared with beating threshing with a stick, no matter the manpower saved or efficiency, I don't know how much higher it is.

It's not that Li Wangyou can't make a pedal threshing machine, the main reason is that the pedal threshing machine needs a transmission device, which is obviously much more complicated and cannot be built in a short time.

As for the hand-cranked threshing machine, Li Wangyou thought, with the craftsmanship of Liu's father and son, it would not take much effort to build it.

The facts were as he expected, he simply drew a sketch for Carpenter Liu on the ground with branches, and Carpenter Liu led his three sons in the family to build a hand-cranked machine in only half an hour. valley machine.

It's rough enough that the boards aren't even planed, but it's good enough.

Li Wangyou asked Niu Wu and the tributaries to carry the threshing machine, and asked Liu Carpenter's family to build several more threshing machines, and he would send someone to carry them later.

Obviously, it is not enough to use only one hand thresher for the paddy of [-] mu of land.

Carpenter Liu naturally agreed with great joy. After Li Wangyou left, Liu Dalang picked up the saw and was about to saw the boards, but Carpenter Liu slapped him on the head.

"Father, why did you hit me?"

"You bastard, why don't you go offer incense to the patriarch first, thank the patriarch and the lord for the gift!" Carpenter Liu stared and scolded his son.

After being scolded by Carpenter Liu, Liu Dalang quickly led his two younger brothers, washed their hands, and ran to the main room to offer incense to the patriarch.

The master carpenter is naturally Lu Ban.

In the main room of Liu Carpenter's house, this statue of Luban is also enshrined in the shrine.The father and son kowtowed respectfully to the statue, offered incense, and thanked the patriarch for his blessing and the gift of the Sir, allowing the Liu family to learn the same way of making an "artifact".

It's just that the statue of Lu Ban in the shrine looks very familiar no matter how you look at it. If someone else sees it, they will definitely exclaim.

Isn't this meow like Li Wangyou?

Anyway, Liu Dalang knew that the statue of the patriarch originally enshrined in his home was naturally not like this.

But ever since the lord taught his father how to build waterwheels, four-wheeled carriages, etc., when he returned home one time, he found that the statue of the patriarch in the shrine at home had changed...

I don't know what Li Wangyou would think if he knew that Carpenter Liu carved himself into a statue and placed it in the shrine.

When he led Niu Wu and others to carry the freshly baked threshing machine to the rice field, those sergeants were still beating the rice hard with wooden sticks.

Li Wangyou couldn't help being happy when he saw their results.

It took more than half an hour for more than a dozen sergeants to hammer out at most one fraction of the rice, and the efficiency was frighteningly slow.

Li Er and the others are still waiting for the sergeants to thresh the rice ears so that they can weigh them and see how the output of Li Wangyou's field is.While waiting impatiently, seeing Li Wangyou leading a group of people back carrying a strange thing, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"Ziyou, why are you carrying a wooden box back?"

"Hey, uncle, this is a threshing machine specially made by my nephew when I saw that it was difficult for the soldiers to thresh grain." Li Wangyou was very shameless, and took the "invention right" of the threshing machine to himself under the name.

"Oh? Is this a threshing machine? How to use it?" Hearing what Li Wangyou said, Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others became interested and gathered around the threshing machine to look carefully.

"It's very simple. You only need to turn the handle, and then put the harvested ears of rice and wheat on the drum. After a while, the rice will fall off and fall into the wooden box below."

While speaking, Li Wangyou motioned Niu Wu to turn the handle, while he grabbed a handful of rice ears and stuffed them into the threshing machine.

The rapidly rotating drum and the curved iron nails kept colliding with the ears of rice, easily knocking off the rice on the ears of rice one by one, and the rice rolled away one by one and fell into the wooden box below.

With a little effort, the handful of ears of rice in Li Wangyou's hand was cleaned up very easily.

Li Wangyou also found the feeling of helping his grandfather threshing rice when he was a child, and quickly grabbed a bundle of rice ears and stuffed them into the threshing machine.

It didn't take much effort to complete the threshing of a lot of rice, and golden grains of rice covered the bottom of the threshing machine.

This made Li Er and the others dumbfounded, thinking that this thing is amazing.

There were only two people, and it took at most one stick of incense, but it was as efficient as those dozen strong sergeants who spent more than half an hour...

Moreover, the ears of rice that had been beaten with a stick were obviously not clean.It can be seen with the naked eye that there are still many rice ears that have been beaten and have not been beaten.

On Li Wangyou's side, Li Er casually grabbed a handful of threshed ears of rice, which were so clean that not a single grain of rice could be seen.

"Haha, good! Ziyou, your threshing machine is really powerful! The strength of two people is actually less than dozens of manpower. What's more rare is that this thing is very simple, and it can be promoted everywhere in my Tang Dynasty."

Fang Xuanling also sighed in admiration: "Your Majesty, the Master said: 'If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools.' Sure enough, I don't know how much manpower this threshing machine can save, so it must be promoted immediately. Artifact too!"

Big names like Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Dai Zhou were all full of praise, especially for Li Wangyou, who was already almost boasting to the sky.

"Haha, that's exactly the case! Come here, send an order to the Ministry of Industry, and order the Ministry of Industry to imitate this threshing machine immediately, send it to all states and counties, and order the locals to start promoting it. Well, when I looked at the threshing machine, I called it 'Wangyou Threshing' Machine', what do you guys think?"

"Great kindness!" All the bosses applauded and stamped their feet, only Li Wangyou had black lines all over his face.

Meow, have you really become the mascot of Datang?Even the threshing machine has to be named?

494 One stone and seven fights

After continuing "Wangyou Elbow", "Wangyou Window", "Wangyou Lottery", and "Wangyou Cooked Water Vending Machine", Li Wangyou is happy to mention the naming rights again.

In his mind, a sentence could not help appearing: "'Wangyou Threshing Machine' will become famous all over the world, and in the near future, it will break out of Asia and go to the world. A must for people!

Wangyou threshing machine will become the first of the three major elements of Datang life!There is no happy family without Wangyou Threshing Machine!Don't worry about the threshing machine, you won't be able to find a partner for young people!You don't have to worry about the threshing machine, you can't get into college as a student!You don't have to worry about the threshing machine..."

Uh, it seems to be a string of words, those are Cosmos brand cigarettes...

Li Wangyou shook his head, not thinking about these messy things anymore.Li Er can call him whatever he likes, as he likes, he is more concerned about the yield per mu of his rice fields.

With the hand-cranked threshing machine, the efficiency of rice ear threshing has been significantly improved, and soon all the rice in the first acre of paddy field is threshed, and the harvest can be weighed.

The rice hopper and shengzi used to weigh the grain are beside the rice fields that have already been moved.The unit of measurement in the Tang Dynasty, ten liters is one bucket, ten buckets is one stone, and one liter of rice equals 1.25 catties for later generations.

The scales used to weigh the weight of grain are rice buckets and liters.

Farmers pour the threshed rice grains from that acre of land into the rice hopper continuously.Above the rice bucket, there is also a beam flush with the mouth.When weighing, it is necessary to use a ruler to scrape the grain piled high on the rice hopper along this beam, so as to ensure the accuracy of weighing.

A bucket full of rice is a bucket.The weighed rice is immediately poured into the sack, emptied, and the weighing continues.

The old village is holding the account book and counting, but the old man can't read a few big characters at all, and it is a pain to write.

Fang Xuanling simply snatched the account book from Lao Cunzheng's hand, took a pen by himself, squatted down without any image at all, and acted as an accountant at the side.
