What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.
Although Yun Chao knew that hydraulic machinery had many uses, it was just a theory after all and he had never seen it in reality.
Therefore, he is doing various experiments now.
For example, grinding with water power, for example, blacksmithing with water power...
According to the report of the infrastructure trio, the test of water-powered grinding has been completed. Compared with traditional human and animal power, the efficiency is not generally high.
Hu Tiejiang also said that his boss is very powerful and the methods he came up with are very useful. Using a water truck to swing a sledgehammer is much more powerful than a human being!
I don’t know how my boss’s brain grew, but he was able to come up with such a magical method?
The boss is the reincarnation of a god. Could it be that this is how the gods in the sky swing the sledgehammer?
…
What surprised all the drivers and craftsmen was not only the large waterwheel that they had never seen before, but also the neat rows of houses on the north bank of Wolong Valley.
There are rows of new houses with blue bricks and black tiles, with smooth stone roads in between. Not to mention a small village, even the houses in Dongping Prefecture are not so good!
Of course, the houses of ordinary people in Dongping Mansion are not so good, except for the rich.
Even though Dongping Mansion is a prefectural city, there are not only brick and tile houses in the city, but adobe houses abound.
I never expected that a small village would have so many brick houses and so many people working there. It’s incredible!
The smoking brick kilns, blacksmith workshops, and helpers working enthusiastically all exude vitality, which is completely different from other lifeless villages and towns.
Plop a few times. The hearts of several craftsmen were finally put into their stomachs.
Look at this journey, we were scared. We thought we would have to work in a remote place in the future, but it turned out to be such a good place!
In fact, there are not many helpers left working on the north bank of Wolong Village.
Most of the helpers are clearing land along Wolong Valley.
Spring sowing is about to begin, and the helpers are seizing the time to engage in the final battle.
The person who stayed in the village and was in charge was Jia Mancang's father Jia Zhengjing. Knowing that Yun Chao was back, he hurriedly came to report on the work.
Yun Chao waved his hand, indicating that he should not be anxious and let Lao Jia arrange a few craftsmen first.
Two blacksmiths are easy to handle. Tang Long has already returned with several official craftsmen from Qingyang County. The blacksmith workshop has also been expanded. Let alone two more, even twenty more can be accommodated.
The same cannot be said for coppersmiths and gunsmiths.
Copper-making requires a dedicated copper-making workshop, and cannon-making also requires a dedicated cannon-making workshop, which cannot be mixed with the blacksmith workshop.
Especially artillery making.
Artillery making in the Dawu Dynasty was to make firecrackers such as firecrackers.
If you want to make firecrackers, gunpowder is the most critical.
Prepare gunpowder in the blacksmith's workshop, unless Yun Chao gets kicked in the head by a donkey.
Therefore, Yunchao planned to build a copper-making workshop and a cannon-making workshop.
Moreover, the artillery making workshop Yunchao did not plan to build it nearby. It wanted to throw it far into the mountains to avoid destroying its foundation.
A row of large warehouses have been built, and some of them are already filled with grain.
Yun Chao directed the helpers to move the materials on the cart into the corresponding warehouses.
The coachmen felt that they had eaten Yunchao's good food, so they looked a little unbearable and stepped forward to help.
With more people and greater strength, all the supplies on the cart would be unloaded before dark.
Yun Chao stood on an empty car and clapped his hands: "Masters, it's getting late today. Don't leave. Now start lining up to collect your wages and then eat!"
There was no doubt that the coachman's wages had been negotiated before in Dongping Mansion. Yun Chao did not deduct a penny and gave him as much as he deserved.
Originally, the drivers were happiest when their wages were paid, but who would have thought that their happiest time would be after they were paid, because it was time for dinner!
Wolong Village is Yunchao's base camp, and its material reserves are richer than even his home in Qingyang County.
Not only are there the big white steamed buns and rice that the coachmen are looking forward to, but there are also big buckets of braised pork!
When we were in Qingyang County, the coachmen ate the stew and felt that the food was as good as heaven.
Now compared with the braised pork in Wolong Village, all the cart drivers feel that their lives have been in vain!
Even Yun Chao didn't know if Braised Pork was available in Dawu Dynasty. Anyway, it wasn't available in Lion Tower, not in Zuixianju, not in the entire Qingyang County, and not even in Dongping Prefecture.
The coachmen have never eaten it, have never even seen it, and have never heard of it!
Fat but not greasy, thin but not greasy, salty and sweet, soft and crispy...
Many coachmen burst into tears after eating, seriously doubting that this was just a sweet dream.
As long as I can eat this kind of meat often... no, I can eat this kind of meat once in a while, I am willing to stay in a small village all the time!
Well, these coachmen thought too well.
Not to mention eating braised pork, these days, as long as there is enough to eat, there are as many people who are willing to work hard for Yun Chao!
During the meal, when the coachmen and helpers inquired about it, some people knelt down on the spot.
Oh my god, I thought it was Mr. Yun who was showing mercy, and for the sake of his hard work, he treated people like me to a braised pork meal.
Unexpectedly, the helpers said that you can eat it once every three days!
A few guys are even more stinky, saying that they are tired of eating this kind of food, and if they want to eat it, they should eat bear paws, that is the most delicious food in the world!
Well, the helpers also learned bad things.
Following Yun Chao, they all also learned Versailles.
It’s true that it’s often seen as meaty. To say that you can eat braised pork every three days is just deceiving people.
Today, just to entertain the coachman who came from Dongping Prefecture, we happened to catch two wild boars, so everyone could eat braised pork.
Yun Chao simply cannot afford to eat braised pork every three days.
In order to prevent wild beasts from going down the mountain to cause trouble, and to train troops, Yun Chao's boys would go into the mountain every few days.
It is no longer like before. The wild beasts near Wolong Village have been beaten to death. Those who have not been killed have also fled deeper into the mountains and generally dare not come out.
Therefore, it is now much more difficult to hunt large animals such as wild boars than before.
Subsequently, the food quality of the helpers began to decline, and it took a long time to eat wild boar meat.
However, the coachmen from Dongping Prefecture did not know this. They only believed what they saw and what the helpers boasted.
As the lowest workers in the Dawu Dynasty, they didn't care where they worked. As long as they could have enough to eat and live a good life, they would have no problem drifting on the sea, let alone coming to the village!
As a result, many coachmen knelt down for Yun Chao on the spot, hoping to stay in Wolong Village to drive Yun Chao's carriage.
Before Yun Chao said anything, all the helpers were dumbfounded.
Go ahead, blow it!
These Dongping Prefecture coachmen are not honest. If you all come to drive the cart for Brother Chao, what will we people in Wolong Village do?
