Gongshuban is on a par with Mozi's talent. In this book, a very interesting mechanism is mentioned - the cliff car. You Miao's eyes lit up, and the three books were spread out side by side.
"These three kinds can actually be combined." You Miao muttered to himself, and then added, "Bring the charcoal sticks... I'll take a look."
You Miao spread out the map of Jiangbo Villa on the table, and said, "If we can make this waterwheel, we will make a lot of money."
Mo's and Gongshu's two kinds of waterwheels are very good, but they are not completely suitable for Jiangbo Villa. You Miao has a bold plan at this moment - he wants to combine these two waterwheels and make a once and for all on the cliff. Water tool.
As long as this kind of cliff waterwheel can be made, a canal will be opened to irrigate more than 5,000 mu of land in the Nanshanzhuang area along the way, and then it will be injected into the large lake in the lowland through the canal, and then it will flow through the creek and head towards Anlu Village.
The waterwheel and the canal are integrated, Jiangbo Villa will be a real paradise. It is easy to open a canal, but the difficulty is to build a chain waterwheel on a cliff several dozen feet high. In this way, scaffolding has to be set up on the cliff, and no less than ten craftsmen are invited. If the Yangtze River is flooded, this waterwheel does not know whether it can withstand the outbreak of the river flood.
But now in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the river level is lowered, which is the best time to develop water conservancy. If you miss this time, when the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are frozen and frozen in spring, if you build it again, you will have to swim.
Without further ado, start now.
You Miao said to Li Zhifeng, "Follow the line I drew and delineate the direction of the canal from the edge of the cliff on the river."
Li Zhifeng didn't ask anything, just nodded and left, while You Miao sat in the study for an afternoon, writing and drawing, calculating the size, taking the amount of water, and where the hinges were fixed. The locations are marked out.
This is bound to be a huge project, materials, manufacturing, and scaffolding. I am afraid that no craftsman is willing to do such a dangerous thing. Climbing on the cliff to fix the hinged waterwheel is not enough.
You Miao wrote and painted, and after a while, Li Zhuang came to the door, bringing ink lines, ink fountains, knives, hammers, saws, axes, etc., as well as nails and asphalt. You Miao asked in the courtyard, "Have you inquired about the price of wood?"
"Go back to what the young master said." Li Zhuang said with a smile: "It's all there. Well, I don't know how to read. I asked a scholar to help me write it down. I'm afraid I'll forget it."
That is the price of wood in Anlu Village. It is clearly written on it, from the slightly more expensive ebony, poplar, and maple to the cheaper birch and willow wood. You Miao sat and watched, calculating to himself how much it would cost to make such a waterwheel.
From time to time, Li Zhuang looked at the craftsmen who were repairing the house in Shenyuan and greeted them.
"Master wants to build a house?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Be a waterwheel." You Miao said casually, "The fields on the high ground are going down, so you have to water them after the reclamation in spring."
Li Zhuang nodded again and again, and You Miao beckoned: "Come here and rest for a while, don't work too hard."
Daliang came over with a dry tobacco stick in his mouth and took a rest, puffing up the clouds. For three or nine days, his naked back was full of sweat, hehe smiled. You Miao showed him his blueprint and said, "What do you think of this thing?"
Without being wordy, Daliang took a look at it and said, "Hey! Young master, this is going to make a big deal."
You Miao said, "Do you think this thing can be done?"
The picture above is a hinged waterwheel fixed on the cliff. In the middle of the hinge is a huge wooden wheel, which is nailed to the cliff and pushed by the river water. The buckets were lifted step by step to a height of dozens of feet and poured into the canal.
Da Liang was speechless for a while.
"Master." Daliang said, "You are..."
You Miao smiled and said, "What?"
You Miao knew that Daliang thought he was too whimsical, and he explained: "Look, there is a chute here."
Youmiao pointed to the vertical chute on the cliff and said: "Embed the bearing of the water wheel in it, so that when the river water rises, the middle wheel will follow it up, and I am not afraid of being flooded. When the water level drops in the dry season, the water wheel will follow. Drop, can be turned all year round, these buckets for water use a board and carry a large water tank…”
"I understand, I understand." Daliang nodded again and again and said, "I understand this, but I have never seen this kind of thing before..."
Daliang looked at it over and over again, and You Miao said again: "If you think it's not possible, tell me. If you don't go back during the New Year, just help me make the parts here, and the wages will not be less than you. "
Daliang said: "I can't say this, I have to go back and ask Master."
You Miao said: "Then you have time to help me ask."
Xiaoliang said: "My master likes you the most bizarre..."
Daliang immediately became angry and reprimanded: "How did you talk? This is what the young master learned is called Tiangong! You don't know the goods!"
Xiaoliang had no choice but to keep silent. Da Liang saw that this waterwheel was not an ordinary thing, so he said, "I'll go back to Anping County."
Daliang copied You Miao's picture, and in the evening Li Zhifeng also came back and said, "It's all done."
You Miao was still writing and doing calculations, without raising his head, Li Zhifeng said, "Start digging tomorrow?"
You Miao smiled and said, "Can you dig it alone?"
Li Zhifeng said: "Try it, it's all about working hard."
You Miao said happily: "Okay, let's dig a canal together."
Li Zhifeng hummed and went to cook, You Miao stretched, and when the night came, the Shenyuan was quiet, only the puppy was running around outside, knowing that it was time to eat, he circled around Li Zhifeng.
"Do you eat fish?" Youmiao was as excited as the dog.
"Hmm." With a smile on the corner of Li Zhifeng's mouth, he cut open the belly of the fish and took out the gills. The big carp jumped up and down, causing the puppy to bark.
Li Zhifeng washed the two carp, smeared a thick layer of salt and bean paste, and stuffed the fish maw with sliced ginger, star anise, and fennel. The fish scales were smeared with lard, four iron sticks were crossed, and a fire was built in the yard, and they were roasted on the fire.
With the aroma, You Miao's saliva immediately came down and said, "I'm going to steam the rice!"
"Can I eat it?" You Miao covered the steamer and asked.
Li Zhifeng glanced at You Miao: "No."
You Miao: "Can you eat it?"
Li Zhifeng said expressionlessly, "No."
You Miao: "Can you eat it?"
Li Zhifeng: "No."
"Can you eat..."
"No… "
The two kept repeating their boring conversations until the fish scales were baked into a beautiful golden yellow and dripped with oil dripping down. You Miao finally saw gold stars in her eyes and fell into Li Zhifeng's arms, not moving.
Li Zhifeng laughed. He put his arms around You Miao in one hand, and went into the hall with two fish in the other. You Miao sat down and started eating. This time, the taste was just right. The fish belly is the most delicious. Spices such as onion and ginger are wrapped in the fish belly, and the lard is soaked into the fish. It is really the first delicacy in the world.
