On June 6, Li Mengxi asked the blacksmith to make a custom-made plunder.

The wooden handle of the finished shovel is similar in thickness to the shovel handle, and the length is about the same as the shovel handle.

The key part, the sickle part, is like the circular iron ring of a mine detector, cut in half, leaving only the remaining semicircular blade.

The sickle has been polished, and the blade looks bright white and sharp at first glance.

If the sickle blade is placed squarely on the ground, the handle and the ground will form an angle of approximately 60 degrees, based on visual inspection.

Li Mengxi happily took the rifle and waved it several times on the spot. Because of his height, he was not able to use such a large agricultural tool.

Li Mengxi carried the loot on his shoulders and went to find Liu Bei excitedly.

Liu Bei is cutting wheat in the field.

Liu Bei wore a straw hat, rolled up his trouser legs, rolled up his sleeves, bent down to collect the wheat, lowered his head and swiped the sickle quickly, and the wheat fell all at once.

Liu Xuande is still good at farm work.

Li Mengxi came over through the stubble, "Mr. Xuande!" Li Mengxi shouted.

Liu Bei stopped the scythe, stood up, wiped his sweat with the linen cloth around his neck, and turned around to see Li Mengxi coming carrying a weapon.

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Don't come to the fields to dry in the sun!" As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the plunder carried by Li Mengxi.

"Xuan Degong, this is a plunder made by a certain man who spent a hundred and fifty coins. It is used for cutting wheat." Li Mengxi came over and gave the plunder to Liu Bei, "Try it and see if it works!"

Li Mengxi was good at strange things, and Liu Bei was not surprised at all.

This pawn looks like a sickle but not a sickle, and looks like a spade but not a spade. It looks weird.

Liu Bei lost his scythe, took the scythe, looked at it from beginning to end, weighed it twice and asked, "How to use it?"

"Put the blade to the ground and sweep it with a sweep." Li Mengxi gave instructions.

Liu Bei had long hands and strong strength, and he could use the feel of his hand to sweep the wheat in front of him.

brush!

As he passed by, there was a sound of brush and sweep, and the long row of wheat in front of him was cut off with a sound.

With this sweep, a ridge of wheat that was one step and a half wide instantly lost one layer.

Liu Bei took a moment and then stopped.

This thing is surprisingly easy to use, fast and efficient.

Holding the plunder and putting the sickle blade in front of his hand, Liu Bei touched the sickle blade. This sickle was curved like a wheel and was extremely easy to use.

Liu Bei then moved his arms, brushed, brushed, brushed...

If you use a sickle, you have to bend down and lower your head to grab the wheat with one hand and the sickle with the other. To cut a ridge of wheat in one and a half steps, you have to cut three or five times with the sickle.

As for Lizzi, he was standing, only bending slightly. With one sweep of Lurzi, a ridge of wheat was easily swept from one side to the other. The cut wheat was pushed to one side by Lurzi.

Because it was relatively novel, Liu Bei was plundering and cutting, and the peasants cutting wheat beside him couldn't help but look up.

Without a comparison group, Li Mengxi had no idea how much faster the Lizzi tool could cut wheat than the ordinary hand-cutting sickle.

But when compared with the people harvesting wheat on the left and right, the difference becomes clear immediately.

For about three to five minutes, Liu Bei swept for a while until he reached the end of the field. Looking back, he saw that the half ridge of wheat had been cut clean.

"This thing works great!" Liu Beike nodded repeatedly, looking at the rifle in his hand with satisfaction, it was like a magic weapon.

Li Mengxi, on the other hand, glanced at the messy wheat piled up on both sides of the long ridge. The cutting was fast, but gathering and tying the wheat required additional hands.

Moreover, I suddenly remembered that the Lizi I saw on TV seemed to be carrying a net bag. What was the net bag for?

It seems that he is responsible for collecting the cut wheat and then dumping it into a pile for subsequent placement.

How to make a net bag, or if the net bag is made of fishing nets, it will work, but how to install it, where to install it, how to install it so that the sickle can just cut the wheat, and the net bag can just catch the wheat?

Li Mengxi was at a loss.

Zhang Fei saw Li Mengxi going to the fields from a distance, and then gave some weapon to his elder brother. The elder brother used it to sweep away half a row of wheat in a short time.

Zhang Fei walked past Li Mengxi, glanced at Li Mengxi, and wanted to say hello, but when he saw Li Mengxi's brows tightening, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother, what is this?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise as he looked at the seven-foot-long farm tool in Liu Bei's hand.

"This is what Xi'er did." Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi with great satisfaction, "With such a simple thing, one person can move faster than five people. It is really a sharp weapon!"

Throwing the plunder at Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei stretched out his hand to catch it, "Yide, this thing is wonderful, why not make more copies?"

Zhang Fei praised him greatly after hearing this.

There was only one thing. Because of his abundant manpower, on the day Li Mengxi completed the robbery, the land of Zhang Fei's family had almost been cleared with the help of the Yellow Turban refugees.

Later, I built some more plunderers. After the plunderers were finished, they were no longer useful.

After receiving the wheat, the wheat stacks were piled up in piles in the field, like small houses.

In May and June, there is a lot of rain. After harvesting the wheat, you have to thresh it quickly. Otherwise, when it rains, all the wheat will sprout. If the wheat sprouts, not only will you have to eat sour and black noodles in one year, but you will also have to eat grain seeds in the second year.

is also a problem.

In the big farm, children are not allowed to play.

The adults drove their mules and rolled large stones to crush the grain field over and over again until it was flat and flat.

This scene was familiar to Li Mengxi, it was about threshing wheat.

In ancient times, there were no threshing machines. Farmers threshed wheat with a powerful farm tool - the flail.

It's just a stick with a movable wooden board on one side. Well... the specific structure is like a windmill.

The rotating structure of the flail is similar to that of a windmill. The difference is that the windmill is driven by wind power, while the flail is driven by centrifugal force.

When threshing wheat, the wheat is placed on the ground in bundles. The young men hold the flail high and rush it to the ground. The wooden board on the flail twists and turns violently, and then hits the ground with a snap.

As soon as the flail is lowered, the crispy wheat, wheat kernels and wheat ears are separated.

The farmers were happy to see the grain, and the children climbed up on the tall wheat straw stacks and had fun jumping up and down. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were more concerned about how much wheat they could see this year, while Li Mengxi was focused on the flail in the hands of the farmers.

superior.

From the flail, a farm tool, some weapons with sharp armor-breaking capabilities were derived.

For example - Panlong Stick.

A long stick, with a rope connected to a short stick at the end of the stick. The short stick is made of hard wood and covered with strong iron. It is even wrapped with iron to make a wolf-like protrusion. The cavalry charges on horseback. When facing the enemy, the dragon is coiled in its hand.

The stick was swung out violently.

With a snap, the head of the stick hit the enemy with such force and force that even if the enemy was wearing heavy armor, if the stick was struck, the armor would be deformed and the soldier would vomit blood.
