Datang romantic little landlord

He made a sound suddenly, which startled Li Heng and Lao Cunzheng, and they hurriedly greeted Li Wangyou when they saw it was Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou smiled and waved his hands: "I said, you two, are you free? Just a few cows, what about it?"

Lao Cunzheng laughed at the side and said: "I made you laugh, butler Li is deliberately embarrassing me. This old man is too small-minded, didn't he just win some money from him playing mahjong yesterday? Did he deliberately oppose me today? "

Li Heng was exposed by Lao Cunzheng in front of Li Wangyou, and he couldn't help but blush: "Nonsense, am I that stingy person? Hmph, I was just unlucky yesterday, so I'm so proud!"

"You're not stingy, just now you said that the old man is not allowed to use the oxen to push the mill?" The old village was trying to be unforgiving, and continued to expose Li Heng, so angry that Li Heng almost rolled up his sleeves to fight the old man with his life.

Li Wangyou also knew that the two old men were simply idle and bored, and didn't bother to take care of them.Just as he was about to continue walking around his own bend, he took two steps and suddenly turned back.

"Cunzheng, now the rollers and mills in the village are pushed by big animals?"

The old village didn't know why, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, I'm very grateful to Mr. Lang for the twenty steered oxen, otherwise the ten old oxen in the village would not be willing to let them push the mill. It is the dealers themselves who push it."

Li Wangyou couldn't help laughing when he heard that: "So, Li Heng, we don't lend our cattle to the village to grind."

What he said immediately made Lao Cunzheng and Li Heng stunned.

Li Heng quickly said: "Mr., how can we grind the mill without big animals in the village? The old slave was just kidding with the village. Don't take it seriously."

Lao Cunzheng didn't know what to say, so he could only rub his hands and look at Li Wangyou, not understanding what he meant.

Naturally, the village is not as impoverished as it was back then, and they cannot afford cattle. The old village just doesn't understand why Li Wangyou said that suddenly.

Li Wangyou laughed and said, "Li Heng, Villager, I have a way to grind rice and flour without manpower or animal power, do you believe it or not?"

His words naturally caused Li Heng and Lao Cunzheng to look at each other, not knowing how to respond...

572 Water Mill

Li Heng and Lao Cunzheng naturally didn't believe what Li Wangyou said.

Can mills and mills grind rice and noodles by themselves?Isn't that becoming a fairy?

The mills used by farmers for rice milling are all made of heavy large stones and consist of rollers and pans.It is specially used for shelling rice and wheat.The stone mill is composed of two round stones. The grain enters the middle of the two layers from the upper hole, moves outward along the grain, and is ground when rolling through the two layers to form powder.

These two utensils are not light at all, and they cannot be lifted without seven or eight strong laborers.

Li Heng and Lao Cunzheng couldn't imagine how to drive it without human or animal power.

If someone else said this to them, Lao Cun would be able to spit in his face.This is dreaming and not waking up, what about talking in sleep?

But these words were said by my husband, and the two of them didn't know how to reply, so they couldn't help but kept silent.

Li Wangyou looked at the two old men's old faces that were almost wrinkled into chrysanthemums, and knew that they didn't believe what he said, so he couldn't help smiling even more happily.

"Why? Don't believe me? Well, why don't I make a bet? If I can't make the roller and mill that don't need human and animal power to come out, I will cook a meal myself and invite you two to drink , how? But if I make it, hehe..."

Li Heng and Lao Cun looked at each other, and couldn't help saying: "It's done, what do you think, sir?"

"It's done, you old bastard, just obediently move out of the mansion for me, and move into the courtyard by yourself, how about it? Bet or not?"

Li Wangyou sent the house to Niu Yong, Niu Wu and the rest of the series, and of course the old housekeeper Li Heng's house was also indispensable.But the old man was so stubborn that he said that he was the housekeeper of Li's house, and he had no reason to move out, so he insisted on staying in the house.

If Li Heng didn't get married, Li Wangyou would naturally let him go.But now that Li Heng has become a good citizen, married a woman from the Zhao family, and lives in his own mansion, it's really not like a family.

The old man doesn't care, but he can't wrong the wife of the Zhao family.

Li Wangyou thought of this and deliberately proposed a bet with Li Heng.

Seeing that it had nothing to do with him, Lao Cun hurriedly nodded in agreement.If you win, you can get a delicious meal cooked by Li Wangyou himself, and it would be even better if you lose. It will be too convenient for the village to grind rice and noodles in the future.

"Lang Jun, then it's a deal, hehe, we've made a bet with you, it's a deal."

Li Heng couldn't help pushing Lao Cunzheng: "Go aside, what's the matter with you, you old bastard, why should you make the decision for me?"

"Hey, you bastard, you don't know good people! You are acting for your own good, but you are being hypocritical." Lao Cunzheng sneered, turned his head and said to Li Wangyou: "Mr. Stubborn old man, we have made a bet. I wonder how long it will take for you to get rid of the mill and roller you mentioned?"

Li Wangyou stretched out three fingers: "Up to three days!"

"Then I will thank Mr. Lang on behalf of the householders." Old Village Zheng also figured it out now, although it sounds difficult to understand that the roller and stone mill can turn on their own.But since Li Wangyou said this, and said it so firmly, it must be true.

Lao Cunzheng glanced at Li Heng again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang. Three days later, I will lead the farmers to help Steward Li move."

Li Heng glared at him, too angry to speak.

Li Wangyou laughed loudly: "That's good, that's it. I'll go to Carpenter Liu's workshop and let him start building right away."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Li Heng to speak again, leaving the old butler Li Heng in a mess in the wind...

What Li Wangyou said about self-milling rice and flour without the need to accumulate energy and manpower naturally refers to water mills and water mills.

He also forgot these two good things before, and only remembered them when he was reminded by the words of Lao Cunzheng and Li Heng.

To build a water mill, for today's Dingzhou Village, it couldn't be easier.The reason why Li Wangyou can say that three days is enough is because Liu Carpenter's workshop already has well-built waterwheels of various sizes.

This waterwheel is the key power to drive the stone mill to rotate. As for other things, it is just a simple transmission device, which converts the kinetic energy brought by the waterwheel's rotation to drive the heavy stone mill to rotate.

After Liu Carpenter carefully studied the drawings of the water mill drawn by Li Wangyou, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

"Lang Jun, your water mill is so amazing! Why didn't I think that since water power can drive the water wheel to rotate and lift water to a high place, this rotation can also drive the stone mill to rotate?"

Li Wangyou asked: "How? How long will it take for this water mill to be built?"

"It's very fast! It will take two or three days. Waterwheels and stone mills are ready-made, and you only need to build a transmission mechanism. In addition, it is easy to build a water mill next to the Gan River. I will let it now My three sons led people to build a water mill, and I went to Hu County on horseback to find a blacksmith to make those rotating iron shafts."

Li Wangyou nodded, and told Carpenter Liu to hurry up and build the water mill within three days.He didn't want to give Li Heng another excuse to refuse to move because of the delay.

With Li Wangyou's order, Carpenter Liu naturally didn't dare to waste time, and asked his son and apprentices to put down what they were doing and start building this water mill as soon as possible.

The farmers in the village didn't know what Carpenter Liu and others were busy with beside the Gan River.It was known that they removed the large stone mill used for grinding flour in the village, which caused many farmers who were waiting to grind their flour to complain.

Some people went to complain to Lao Cunzheng, but the old man scolded them back, saying that they would find out in three days.

The dealers didn't know why, and there were many discussions about it.

It was not until three days later that the old village was beating the gong and calling everyone in the village to go to the water mill, and all the people gathered around.

"Muramasa, what did you just say? What did your husband repair for us?"

"Water mill! You melon rind! It's a mill that can grind flour without manpower or animal power!" Lao Cunzheng laughed.

Everyone doubted their ears: "Cunzheng, are you wrong? Don't be joking with us, this mill is so heavy, how can it be possible to turn it to grind flour without human or animal power?"

"That's right, how is this possible? The big stone mill in the village needs two cows to understand it. It doesn't need cows to pull it, and it doesn't need people to push it. Could it be that Mr. Lang gave the stone mill a magic spell?"

Lao Cunzheng knocked a chestnut on the head of the young man in front of him: "You melon skin, what the gentleman said can be wrong? I went to see it, it is a mill driven by a water wheel."
