Chapter 24 The Threshing Artifact Appears

On the banks of the Bashui River, five waterwheels are turning.

There are three connecting rods connected to each waterwheel. The connecting rods move with the rotation of the waterwheel, giving people the feeling of stretching and contracting.

In front of each connecting rod is placed an old-fashioned rice thresher from Li Yi's time.

The threshing machine is connected by several wooden bearings and connecting rods. The most critical position is a hollow barrel made of wooden boards.

There are iron wire rings on each wooden board. When rotated, these rings are used to knock off the rice or wheat grains on the stalks.

In addition to the threshing machine, which is to be driven by water, there are also two foot-operated ones.

There was a large group of people watching, and the people in Zhuangzi were very unhappy. Why should they let others see their own treasure?

But there was nothing he could do, the proprietor allowed others to watch.

Zhuangzi's craftsmen inspected the equipment and dripped soybean oil on the shafts and connections as a lubrication.

"You can also use other plain oils." Li Yi introduced to the eldest brother and third brother.

Li Longji and Li Chengqi expressed their understanding that the axles of the cars they were riding in should also be dripping with oil, otherwise the wood would burn if they were ground and polished.

Of course, the waterwheel is not used because the waterwheel has water for lubrication.

However, the shaft of the waterwheel must be soaked in oil, tung oil, before making the waterwheel.

When everything was ready, Li Yi personally picked up a handful of straw.

Come to the foot-operated threshing machine, step on it, push hard, and the connecting rod will move, causing the barrel to rotate.

He put the wheat straw in his hand on it, crackling and booming, the sound of the threshing machine and the sound of the wheat grains being knocked down sounded at the same time.

After a few breaths, the grains from a handful of wheat stalks were knocked off.

Li Yi took another handful and repeated the operation.

Crackling, booming, booming, it’s solved again.

Li Longji personally learned from Li Yi and operated another pedal-type threshing machine.

Several times in a row, he put down the straw and stood there without saying a word.

"Start." Li Yi ordered.

The fifteen people guarding the hydraulic threshing machine over there took advantage of the connecting rod of the water truck to reach over and connected to the threshing machine as quickly as possible.

In fact, it is a circle that fits into the protruding part on the rod, and then the water wheel drives the thresher on the connecting rod side.

A person stands in front of each threshing machine, takes a handful of wheat straw passed by others, and puts it on it to knock out the wheat kernels.

One person delivers, the other hits, the cooperation is tacit, and the speed is very fast.

For a moment, the entire riverside was filled with crackling and rumbling movements.

The other spectators looked on stupidly, with their mouths open and drooling, their eyes widened, their ears scratched, their fists clenched...

They didn't dare to speak for fear of offending the sacred scene.

Li Longji raised his head and shed two lines of tears.

Queen Wang pursed her lips and her eye circles were red.

The people watching on Zhuangzi tried their best to stand upright. At this moment, the glory belonged to their proprietor.

After a while, Li Yi broke the silence: "Eldest brother, third brother, can such a thing cost five kilograms of iron?"

"Ah?" Li Chengqi was startled.

Then he nodded his head hard: "Okay, okay, fifty pounds of iron is worth it. It can be so fast. It's a divine weapon. Third brother, the Tang Dynasty no longer has to spend a lot of manpower to thresh grains."

Li Longji punched the palm of his other hand: "Baby, my Tang Dynasty's treasure, this thing can be shared by several households, or a dozen households. Five kilograms of iron, not much."

"Big Brother, Third Brother, if you don't have iron, you can also use bamboo, but after wear and tear, you need to replace the bamboo strips."

"It's best to cut the bamboo tube crosswise and fix it on top."

Li Yi said that he thought of a way, there is no circle made of wire.

Cut out circles of old bamboo and attach them to the barrel board using tenon and rivet methods. The effect is not bad.

"What a great idea. Brother Yi is a talented person." Li Longji reached out and touched Li Yi's head.

Li Chengqi also touched it, and Queen Wang rubbed Li Yi's hair naturally.

Li Yi: "..."

He tied his hair again and made it long, almost reaching his shoulders.

‘Poof! ’ Zhang Xiao, the village leader of Zhangjiacun, came to Li Yi and knelt down directly.

"Zhang Cunzheng, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Li Yi stepped aside and reached out to help.

Zhang Xiao followed the turn and continued to kneel: "Dr. Li, what do you want? Whatever I, Zhangjiacun, can bring out, I will give it to you."

"Oh! I don't want anything. You will ask someone to learn from you later." Li Yi said and went to help again.

Zhang Xiao was stunned until he was helped up, still staring at Li Yi in disbelief.

Li Yi turned his head and said to Li Chengqi and Li Longji: "Brother, third brother, please help to promote this thing."

"Brother Yi, you... don't want any benefits?" Li Longji stared.

"Yes, why don't you want it?" Li Yi said.

Then he added: "The benefit I want is a good mood. There is no bitter cold in the Tang Dynasty, and there are tens of thousands of mansions. It is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The old man can raise a child with a smile."

"Okay, okay, brother Yi, third brother Xin." Li Longji patted Li Yi's shoulder again and again.

Li Chengqi nodded in approval.

If someone else said this, he could slap you in the face. Why are you so great?

But Brother Yi said it must be good.

Because Brother Yi did it before he said this.

Zhuangzi, who looked at Yi Di, raised scholars and fed them meat every day. The children made beautiful clothes and schoolbags and studied together.

Yi Di took action personally when he fell ill.

When people come to Zhuangzi to sell things, Zhuangzi always gives them a very high price.

Yi Di took all kinds of good skills from outside and never said anything in return.

"Li, Mr. Li, you, you said it was free, you gave it to us for free?" Muramasa Zhang Xiao finally came to his senses.

He was pale, sweating profusely, and asked in an uncertain tone.

Li Yixin said, "How can I give it to you for free? If everyone uses it, I can extend my life a lot."

He wanted to think about it, but what he said was: "Zhang Cunzheng, do you have a penny?"

"Ah? Yes." Zhang Xiao didn't know what Li Yi meant, so he took out a penny.

Li Yi took it in his hand and said: "For one penny, this method will sell your village."

Zhang Xiao was stunned again, and then bowed deeply: "Dr. Li, no one in Zhangjiacun will dare to disobey you if you are ordered to do so in the future."

Other merchants who came over to buy soy sauce were tempted, what a good thing.

What the hell is this? It's like threshing wheat.

Wheat is good, UU reading www.uukanshu.net rice is no problem.

With this treasure, I would like to have some stone rollers and flails.

I stepped on it with my foot, and a lot of wheat came out with a splash.

How much labor is saved? No more time and effort.

The remaining days can be used for other tasks.

Compared to the flail, this divine object is worth one person to a hundred people.

As for the stone roller, no animal power is needed, people pull it by themselves, which is simply fatal.

When the animals are driven and pulled, they will eat more when the animals are tired.

If there is a river next to the village and a water wheel is set up, the whole village can use it.

When everyone looked at the thresher, they were even more shocked than when people in Li Yi's place saw the combine harvester for the first time.

The waterwheel rotates leisurely, and fifteen hydraulic threshers continuously knock down wheat grains.

Zhuangzi's people feel extremely proud when they work, and they have a sense of superiority.

The other two foot-operated threshing machines are also used by farmers who come and step on them.

Others carried the wheat straw over, and then took the harvested away to clean up the winnowing ground.

This one only has some small pieces of foam, which is much better than the ones that are pressed or beaten with 梢梿枇.

Others looked at it with enthusiasm and waited for Li Yi to come up with the production method.

Scholars and students also watched the excitement, dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

I turned my head and started thinking about how to write an article to praise him, because I needed to eat more white flour.

During the summer harvest, Zhuangzi didn’t know how to sell grain, so naturally everyone ate it.

And it has been decided that after planting wheat, plowing will be done, and then rice will be planted.

The rice harvest is white rice.

Therefore, we must praise, we must praise the proprietor to the sky, and everyone will know it, otherwise we will be sorry for the house we live in and the food we eat.

Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.

Don't let the proprietor's heart get cold.
