Chapter 257 To the County Office
This improvement of plows is Wang Ge's real challenge since she started working as a carpenter. She knows that the curved shaft plow has replaced the straight shaft plow in later generations, but what is the structure of the curved shaft plow? What aspects have been improved, and even the shape of the curved shaft plow
What does it look like? Wang Gejun doesn’t know.
But so what?
She has a mind that combines ancient and modern thoughts, she is a carpenter who has passed various rigorous examinations, and she knows that there is a better plow called a "quyu plow". These three points added together are enough!
In the next two days, Wang Ge has been learning plowing from Ting Min. He has a deeper understanding of the difficulty of plowing and feels the lack of functionality of the plowshare. Only then can he modify each component one by one. The modifications should be more practical rather than more complicated.
The seventh day of October.
In Weiting came an extraordinary gentleman in commoner clothes, his blue and gray clothes were stained with yellow dust. He was less than thirty years old, had no beard, had a deep and two shallow "Chuan" pattern between his eyebrows, and had a lot of hair on his temples.
Even so, it was difficult to hide the bright light of his eyes.
This man went straight to the field and stared at Wang Ge's clumsy plowing. She only noticed him when she took a breath and wiped her sweat.
Magistrate Huan County!
Transforming any kind of farm implement is a major matter related to people's livelihood. After receiving Huan Zhen's message, Magistrate Huan rushed over with only a few followers.
In front of the plow, Wang Ge explained several of her improvements. The work of making a new plow must not be done by herself, and it involves iron plowshares and plow walls. Furthermore, during the process of making a new plow,
, you have to keep trying the plow and keep adjusting.
The eighth day of October.
Xu Wang's family had a few days off at the pavilion. The family happily drove an ox cart, packed their luggage and food, and sent Wang Ge to the wood shop of the county office, where the plow was made. There were three carpenters working with her.
, two blacksmiths.
If Madam Wu is replaced, will the next person be better than the other person? Madam Wu always makes mistakes when making shoes. Is it because she is not careful enough when teaching others? And Madam Wu is timid and dare not ask questions? That kind of thing
Cowardly and afraid to speak out, just like she used to be.
"Wang Ge."
"Which craftsman?"
Huan Zhen sat across from the case and smiled without giving a serious smile. The rare naughty look made Huan Shi wary. Huan Zhen said: "Uncle Clan, if I fail to pass the exam next year, I will not be admitted to the Prefectural Guard Army."
The moon is on the wall.
On the way back to Wei Pavilion, Wang Weng saw that the younger generation were still talking excitedly about the trip. Even Aai was not sleepy. The old man waved his hand and promised: "When the weather gets warm next year, as long as there is free time in the pavilion, the whole family will go on a trip."
"No. I have something to discuss with my uncle."
The first improved structure was to add a plow plate at the front end of the plow shaft, and the plow plate and shaft were connected by a traction hook to separate the oxen and the plow. This modification alone amazed the county officials! From now on, the oxen
When pulling the plow to the head of the field, the steering is flexible. As long as the oxen does not go crazy and drags slowly, there is no need to use human power to lift the plow.
When the disciples brought Huan Zhen over, Magistrate Huan thought he was dazzled. "Why are you here at this time? Have you had dinner?"
There is only a long street between the government office and the west gate of the county office. The county office is located in the south of the Yamen and in the north of the jail. The location south of the west courtyard wall is the official quarters, which is the area where she lives temporarily in the small courtyard.
But these are not enough.
How else to change it? In order to save more effort, manpower and animal power?
At this moment, several houses on the south side of the county office were lit with candles.
Approaching the reed pavilion, clusters of reed branches spread out, which made Wang Shu's mood clearer. Sister Cong was so busy that she never forgot about the square-headed shoes. Sister Cong was right, everyone has shortcomings, and she was responsible for the square-headed shoes.
Regarding the first shoes, we should first think about whether there is a solution, instead of always criticizing Mrs. Wu for being slow in making shoes.
Huan Zhen stopped smiling and lowered his eyelids. "My uncle is smarter than me. I came to Kuaiji County to take the military examination. Rather than saying that I made a mistake first, it's better to say... I just found an excuse for my father to avoid Si
Those big families in the state.”
Wang Peng finally saw how big Qinghe Village was. The little guy saw so many cattle and sheep for the first time, and there were many bridges on the Qinghe Canal. How many people had to cross the river to use them. The family went to Wang Gezeng to study again
Although the Nanshan Mountain was viewed from a distance and there were no sailing ships on the river, the Wang family was still content and happy.
She has lowered the traction point of the plow shaft so that when plowing, the plowshare will not plow deeper and deeper; she has also improved the angle between the plow shaft and the bottom of the plow, added parts to the plow arrows to adjust the length of the plow arrows, and
The angle of digging into the soil does not require manual control at all times; she even added crossbars (ce'e) to fix the mouldboard.
If the water in Kuaiji County is deep, then the power struggle in Sizhou is like a boiling sea! The Long Kanghuan family can dominate in Kuaiji County, but in Sizhou, the foundation is not enough.
"Since the weapons craftsman has the name of 'soldier', he must have the same authority as the Tiangong carpenter."
"I'm going to prepare supper for you." The servant bowed and left.
After Wang Ge finished touching the white horse, he sat in the courtyard, looked at the dark courtyard door, and recalled the scene where he tried out the new plow today and the various feelings of turning the soil. He needed to refine these feelings and break down the structure of the plow in detail.
Combine, decompose, combine again...how to change it?
"You can use your identity as an apprentice of the Heavenly Craftsman."
"no!"
After seeing other mountains, Ah He and the others will know that there are more than just wild mountains in the world. After seeing the Nanjiang River, the children will realize that the wild mountains and rivers are so winding and long. They are actually connected with the Nanjiang River and are the same big river. Farmers should
Farm the land carefully, but you can’t just cultivate the land! You must let the children travel far and gain more experience.
"You are too young and are not a regular rural soldier. You cannot go there as a rural soldier."
When Wang Ge returned to the county office, he entered the stables. The stables were narrow and had only been built for two months. There was only one white horse in the stables. It was handsome and strong, and it was the mount "Bairong" that was only obtained by Magistrate Huan. It was said that it came from the northwest. She didn't
I understand horses, but that doesn’t stop me from falling in love with them as soon as I see them.
Huan Shi was very pleased that his nephew could figure this out. Since the time he became emperor in the Jin Dynasty, he has promoted talents and conquered the poor, and both civil and military forces have flourished. If Huan Zhen wanted to enter the military camp, other than passing the county military competition, he could only achieve military exploits.
By virtue of his military exploits, he was recognized by His Majesty and entered the military camp. He could not only calm the discussion in the court, but also silence everyone.
Of course, the most important modification is the change from a long straight shaft to a short curved shaft, and the plow arrows. The original plows and plow arrows were fixed. If you want to control the depth of turning the soil, you can only rely on the helper to use clumsy air pressure to lift the plowshare.
Of course Wang Ge didn’t know that the parts she added would be called “plow construction, plow evaluation” in later generations, but the wisdom summarized by the working people through labor is basically the same.
Huan Zhen looked solemnly: "Yes!"
Huan Shi leaned on the table, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Sit down. Tell me, what's the matter?"
It has been two days since the craftsman built the first new plow according to the model she provided.
"What are you afraid of? You're not the only one."
It's a pity that Huan Zhen didn't seize the opportunity. His mistake of lynching the son of County Magistrate Jiang was not enough to punish him for a long time. If there was a noble person in the court who "interceded", my father would have to let him return to Luoyang. What would happen then? What if he returned to Luoyang?
If the time period were more coincidental, he and the young guard camp would really miss each other.
"Do you want to go to Bianjun?"
"You know everything."
Guessed it right! Huan Zhen was secretly happy.
Huan Shi: "The transformation of plows is a major event that benefits the country. Wang Ge is a talented craftsman rarely seen in a century. How can you trick a little girl to go to the battlefield in the border county for the sake of your personal future?"
Huan Zhen couldn't bear to say: "Uncle Clan looks down on me too much."
