The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich: Chapter 167 threshing machine

With the passage of time, more than ten days passed without knowing it.

In the past ten days, she has completely handed over the toys to Li Huaisheng, and he will arrange everything, she will just produce the drawings.

In the past ten days, Lin Yuelan's house has been built with a frame. As long as the roof is added and corrected, the house will be built with three entrances and three discharges.

In addition to giving a design drawing for this house, she also acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and handed it all over to the craftsman Master Hu and the supervisor Guo Bing to deal with it.

Because as agreed before, all the project was contracted to Master Hu, so Master Hu also invited some honest people to work according to Lin Yuelan's suggestion.

The wages are high, and they work fast. In terms of food, Lin Yuelan has not treated them badly. There are fish and meat every day, and two honest women in the village who are good at cooking are invited to cook for them. they eat.

In this way, everyone has enough energy and enthusiasm to work, and the efficiency will definitely be high.

Jiang Zhennan looked at the large and spacious yard with three entrances and three exits rising from the ground, and was almost finished. He was really surprised by their efficiency.

Later, he learned that this is a contract system.

Working together, in short, must be done within the stipulated time, and then the rest of the money will be settled.

This approach is really novel and efficient, which makes Jiang Zhennan very rare.

He asked, "Miss Yue'er, can this contracting system be used in the army?"

Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes and said lightly, "How do I know."

Jiang Zhennan said immediately, "Miss Yue'er, I'm serious."

Lin Yuelan also said with a serious expression, "The contract system is based on public ownership, with interest constraints as the mechanism, responsibility as the core, and a system that organically combines responsibility, power and body. , it only applies to commercial economic transactions, but not to strict military regulations.”

Jiang Zhennan actually wanted to hear from Lin Yuelan about how the army will be managed two thousand years later.

"However, I can make some suggestions and opinions on military training." Lin Yuelan said.

As far as she knows, the current military training is to train fighting and killing, and some archery skills, and does not pay attention to the strengthening of physical fitness.

Jiang Zhennan's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Please speak."

Lin Yuelan's cold voice sounded in Jiang Zhennan's ear, she said, "Every soldier must run every day when he is not fighting, and it must not be less than five kilometers, no matter it is windy or rainy. , must persevere, this is the first; second, train formation, grappling, tactics and archery skills every day; third, adhere to 400-meter obstacles, 100-meter sprints, frog leaps, push-ups, single-leg stretches, combined physical fitness every day Practice. Are these understandable?"

Jiang Zhennan's face was serious, his eyes were sharp and he stared at Lin Yuelan with doubts.

Every word she said could be understood, but when combined, he became completely incomprehensible.

For example, what is leapfrog, what is push-up, etc.

Of course, Jiang Zhennan is a curious and self-motivated good baby. Since he doesn't understand, of course he has to ask.

He shook his head, then asked, "Are these the ones trained by those armies two thousand years later?"

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "That's right."

Jiang Zhennan immediately said eagerly, "Miss Yue'er, I don't understand what you said. After I return to the army, can I ask you to help train the soldiers below?"

He believes that the training method after 2,000 years is definitely better and more intelligent than they only know how to train each other every day.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and refused, "I won't allow you to go to the army. However,"

Hearing Lin Yuelan's words, Jiang Zhennan's eyes were a little sad and disappointed, but then he was cheered up again.

Lin Yuelan said, "I am going to train a group of guards, and I will train them according to these methods. You can just watch and participate." This is to tell Jiang Zhennan, you can steal it.

Jiang Zhennan was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. When he was about to take him to say thank you, the three of them ran over excitedly, and shouted loudly, “The millet is over, the millet is over, Miss Lin, the millet has grown!"

When Jiang Zhennan heard this, his face darkened, and he shouted sharply, "What fruit is it? It's unclear."

." As a young man who grew up in the countryside, it is clear at a glance when the rice can be harvested.

They were really excited to hear that the rice was slowly ripening.

You must know that these rice are carefully guarded from planting, transplanting, to flowering, and then to maturity.

These rice fields are like their children, and now this child has grown up, can you please make them happy.

Hearing such news, Jiang Zhennan immediately became excited and said, "Really? Really? It only bloomed when I went to see it two days ago, how could it be so soon? It's ripe and ready to be harvested soon?"

Liuzi nodded and explained, "Boss, this rice matures very quickly."

Jiang Zhennan doesn't understand farming, but he also knows that what the little three sons and the others said is not wrong.

He nodded and replied, "That's good, that's good."

Before, when he looked at it, although it was not very mature, the bunch of flowers were blooming well and well, and the rice forks were bent and bent. Just a good harvest.

He still remembers that Lin Yuelan said that such a per-mu yield can reach seven stones, but according to his estimation, it must be more than seven stones.

Lin Yuelan also went to the fields to take a look in the past two days. By the way, I poured some spiritual water. It is estimated that the harvest will be ready in a few days.

What makes Lin Yuelan a little worried is that in modern times, all harvesting is done with mechanized harvesters, dozens of acres of land can be harvested in less than a day, but here it is purely manpower.

First, they used that kind of curved sickle to cut the rice into piles, and then tied it back to their own yard. Then, the family wrapped their hands in cloth and beat them hard against the basket, or Grab the grains from the stalks one by one. If the conditions are better, buy a cow and drag the big stones to grind the grains down.

Both methods are labor-intensive and not at all efficient.

One acre of land may require at least five people and one day.

In this way, it will take at least ten days for five acres of land, cutting and threshing, which is too long. will be ruined.

Lin Yuelan pondered, she must solve these problems before harvesting.

The modern mechanized harvester, she can't make it, except for the manufacturing structure she doesn't know, the most important point, the conditions here are not allowed.

So, in her mind, she was thinking about some rice threshing methods that she had learned when she was studying ancient history.

Flails, rice baskets, buckets, rice beds, boulders, etc…

Lin Yuelan thought about it and found that the buckets and rice beds are the most suitable. She thought about the structure and principles that the teacher had talked about when she first learned this. come out.

The bucket is relatively simple, just like the principle that these people beat into the basket now.

It's just a bucket, a large wooden bucket, then sawed off about a quarter of the edge, and the height must be lower than the other edges, and then put a wooden board in this place to fix it, the two sides of the wooden board must be Dig two holes, these two holes are for inserting a woven mat, and the woven mat is fixed on it, so as to stop those who are flying around when they are beating Daogu.

In general, the bucket is relatively simple, but it also limits the number of people. A bucket can only be beaten by one person, which is a huge shortcoming.

The rice bed is an updated version of the bucket, which makes up for this defect. Make a very wide bed, add fences around it, and then put a wooden frame and bamboo surface in the middle. The paddy can be threshed by tapping on the bamboo surface, which can be done by multiple people at the same time.

It's just that whether it's a bucket or a rice bed, although it's easier than before, it's still time-consuming and laborious, so she thinks of a way to improve it.

Therefore, in the first few days, Lin Yuelan stayed out of the house, closed the door, meditated in the room, wrote and painted, it was like a sleepless night.

When it's time to eat, they just send a few steamed buns over, or let someone buy some food from the rice bowl next door. send

In this way, those who are used to the food made by Lin Yuelan will suffer.

Once back to before liberation.

Jiang Zhennan and the other big men can't cook, so they also buy food from the house next door.

Guo Bing was holding a piece of red meat while looking at the greasy man, he had no appetite at all.

He said with a mournful tone, "Boss, what is Miss Lin doing by shutting herself in the room these days?" They didn't even cook, and now they were all eating pig food.

Jiang Zhennan is not as spoiled as Guo Bing, but the food at the entrance still made him frown slightly, facing Guo Bing's question, he shook his head and said, "I don't either Know."

Guo Bing glanced at Lin Yuelan's closed room, rolled his eyes, and urged Jiang Zhennan, "Boss, why don't you ask and see what she's doing? "

Jiang Zhennan took a bite of the steamed bun, then stared at Guo Bing as if looking at a fool, he directly refused, "No! I'm going to you!"

Lin Yuelan's temperament, they still don't understand.

When she wants to do something seriously and is disturbed by others, she will endure her tantrums.

That's why he won't let it be, and regards himself as a firecracker, obviously he has been fined several times for not having a good meal.

It's just that Lin Yuelan has closed the door and won't be out for a few days, which is really worrying.

Wait another day, if tomorrow is like this, even if he wants to risk Lin Yuelan's anger, he will knock on her door and ask.

When Jiang Zhennan fell into his thoughts, Guo Bing muttered beside him, and said, "Isn't this the best relationship between you and Miss Lin?"

This made them a little surprised and curious.

Because Lin Yuelan's usual expression is either sneer or cold, or even indifferent and expressionless, and there are few other expressions.

Therefore, this excitement must have a different meaning.

With the blueprint in her hand, she asked, "Who of you can work as a carpenter?"

Lin Yuelan suddenly asked about the carpenter's work, Jiang Zhennan and the others looked at each other in dismay, then shook their heads at the same time.

They can march and fight, they can farm and work, but they really can't work as a carpenter.

Jiang Zhennan looked at Lin Yuelan's rare expression, and after being slightly surprised, he soon noticed the blueprint in Lin Yuelan's hand.

In the past, Lin Yuelan also had drawings in her hands, and they were all drawings of clothes. They were no strangers to it, but this time, he could see at a glance that the drawings were different from the previous drawings. The lines are not in the style of clothes at all, they look a bit like a bed.

But it is different from the bed, because one end seems to hold something.

He asked curiously, "Miss Yueer, what are you drawing in your hand, is it a bed?"

Lin Yuelan said without concealment, "This is a threshing machine."

"The threshing machine?" Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing looked at each other, very puzzled, because they had never heard of this. But listening to the name, I guessed that it may be related to "rice".

"But, Miss Lin, what is a threshing machine?" Guo Bing was really curious.

Lin Yuelan surprised them again and again, so that she never doubted the substance of what Lin Yuelan invented.

Lin Yuelan gave the drawings to Jiang Zhennan, Jiang Zhennan took the drawings, Lin Yuelan said, "The so-called threshing machine is the rice thresher."

"What, is this a rice thresher?!" Guo Bing said in surprise, "It's like a bed, you mean a rice thresher?"

Lin Yuelan nodded, "Yes."

"But, what is this rice thresher?" Guo Bing's question suddenly caused a row of black lines on Lin Yuelan's forehead.

She thought he knew about the rice thresher, but her feelings were still ignorant.

Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes at Guo Bing and said, "Think about it, how is the rice threshed now?"

"Beat it, or rub it with your hands." This didn't bother Guo Bing.

"That's right." Lin Yuelan nodded, "It's just that the threshing method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I thought about using that kind of trouble-saving and efficient equipment. Hey, this is what I thought about three times. God, whatever you want to come up with, you have to make it within a few days, otherwise, after the rice is completely golden and mature, it will be too late to make it, and then you will beat the rice or rub it down.”

Jiang Zhennan looked at the drawing, thought for a while, and said, "Miss Yue'er, how can this kind of threshing machine save time and effort?"

Lin Yuelan leaned over and pointed to a few nodes and said, "This kind of threshing machine has a bucket bed in front, which holds grains, gears on both sides, rolling core in the middle, and inside the rolling core. A lot of fine nails are inserted, and the threshing depends on them. This pedal is stepped on by the foot. When the foot is stepped on, the gears on both sides turn, the rolling core begins to roll, and then people only need to put rice on it and twist it. However, "

Speaking of this, Lin Yuelan paused for a while, glanced at Jiang Zhennan tiredly, and continued, "If the gears need to turn quickly, and if people step on the pedal without effort, they need to use fuel or tung oil for lighting. ." Modern people use oil or diesel.

Oil is a little expensive, and most people are really reluctant to use it. However, for Lin Yuelan, it is not a matter of using money.

Listening to Lin Yuelan's explanation, Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing's eyes lit up. Although they didn't quite understand the principle of these things, they knew that this was another kind of help for farmers' work.

Jiang Zhennan suppressed his excitement and said, "Miss Yue'er, what do you want us to do?"

Lin Yuelan said, "First of all, we must go to the town to find a blacksmith, and drive out these gears and the nails of the rolling core. Note that the nails are bent, and the two ends are directly inserted into the wooden board. middle…"

Lin Yuelan explained the matters to be paid attention to one by one, "Then, I was looking for a carpenter to beat out the bed and bucket. It's just, the carpenter..."

"Miss Lin, don't you forget that your family is building a house now, and there are carpenters!" Guo Bing reminded.

Lin Yuelan of course did not forget that there is a carpenter in the house in her backyard.

It's just that the threshing machine needs to be kept secret at the moment, and she is a little worried about handing it over to a carpenter.

Lin Yuelan frowned slightly, thinking with her eyes lowered.

Jiang Zhennan also thought of Lin Yuelan's concerns, he said to Lin Yuelan very seriously, "Miss Yue'er, leave this carpentry work to me."

Just waiting for Lin Yuelan to react, Guo Bing was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop, he said suspiciously, "Boss, can you be a carpenter?"

Jiang Zhennan's sharp eyes shot at Guo Bing, and said sharply and solemnly, "No, can't you learn?"

This time Guo Bing was even more surprised, he said, "No way, boss, can you learn it in just a few days?"

Jiang Zhennan didn't pay attention to him, but assured Lin Yuelan very seriously, saying, "Don't worry, I will be very good at carpentry in the past two days. You will be able to build this threshing machine. give it to me."

Although Lin Yuelan had the same suspicion, under the current circumstances, she had to make such a choice.

…

After 8 days

Guo Bing and the little three sons were very surprised and excited, touching and touching the freshly baked threshing machine, their mouths kept exclaiming.

"Tsk tsk, boss, did you really only learn carpentry for two days?" Guo Bing said suspiciously, "I think it's been two years. How delicate it is, how dense the gap is, how can it be seen that it is a new work."

Lin Yuelan was slightly surprised by Jiang Zhennan's efficient hands-on ability.

However, looking at the freshly baked threshing machine, it has been concluded that it is a successful product.

Sure, give it a try.

She scooped a wooden spoon of tung oil from the clay pot and dropped it on the gear.

Immediately, she stepped on the pedal and stepped down...
