Although Li Zhao also discovered coal mines, he still does not have the good technology to mine them, so he has to supply them to the iron workshop.
After leveling the residence of the senior traveler, Li Zhao and the others carried heavy stone rollers and began to re-tamp and level the ground. The construction of the house must have been completed by Carpenter Long and others.
After Li Zhao helped clean it up, he began to harvest weeds around the water source with a sickle. There were many and thick grasses around the water source, so regular cleaning was beneficial.
Li Zhao also sent people to cut down all the branches of the surrounding big trees, mainly to allow sunlight to shine in this area.
This area has become much cleaner and brighter.
"It would be best to clear an isolation zone around it."
"What is a quarantine zone?"
Li Bin and the others don't understand.
"Forests are the hardest hit areas by fires, especially forests like this." Li Zhaodao: "Now that the weather is dry, it is most likely to catch fire. When there is no water source nearby, once the fire breaks out, it cannot be extinguished."
Li Bin and the others understood and obeyed obediently.
The cleared weeds were temporarily bundled into haystacks, and then carried down the mountain to spread out in the sun. As for the chopped tree branches, they were chopped into firewood here, which made it easier to pick.
Li Zhao and You Wangwei cleared the entire waterfall and two ponds, creating an isolation zone of about three meters.
The entire isolation zone is like a large circle. This project alone took three days, but some more firewood was added to the kitchen.
Both pools will eventually divert water and collect the water in a ditch.
However, the downstream area has not been dug yet, so the upstream area cannot be dug through.
Li Zhao can't help much now. He leads You Wangwei to clean up the weeds around the ditch every day, focusing on an open space.
"Your Highness, it's successful!" Wu Diao Si ran over excitedly.
"The wheelbarrow came out?" Li Zhao wiped his sweat, not surprised.
In fact, if there are so many people, the wheelbarrow can be out in a few hours.
But Long Carpenter and Dai Yun both had no experience and needed to explore, so the time was extraordinarily long. Many problems were solved only after repeated trials.
"Where's the car?"
"We have reached the bottom of the reservoir." Wu Diao Si said.
"Okay, bring the car up and I'll give it a try."
Li Zhao clapped his hands, said a few words to the other people who were working on the construction, and then took Li Bin and the others down the mountain.
Li Zhao felt very comfortable as he followed the ditch that diverted water to the reservoir and looked at the clean area that had been cleared.
In the reservoir area, many people are watching the excitement.
Long Carpenter and Dai Yun even came over in person. They didn't know the specific usage of this thing, so they didn't dare to mess with it.
"Your Highness is here."
I don’t know who shouted, and everyone dispersed and saluted Li Zhao.
Li Zhao saw that there was almost no difference between the unicycles he had used in later generations. He couldn't help but grin. After circling the unicycle in a circle, he asked, "Are you sure everything is okay?"
"This... I'm not sure either." Carpenter Long said sheepishly, "But it does follow the standards."
"That's fine." Li Zhao said, "Where's the pole?"
"Give."
The unicycle does not need a small shoulder pole. This pole is relatively short, only wider than the shoulder, and has long ropes on both sides.
There are two grooves on the edges of the two handles of the unicycle, into which the rope can be inserted.
This shoulder pole is mainly used to share the pressure on people's hands.
Li Zhao pushed the wheelbarrow up, and there were exclamations around him.
So, this is how this thing is used?
"Here, place the stones as flat as possible!" Li Zhao ordered.
As soon as he saw that Li Zhao wanted to test it himself, Li Bin immediately became anxious: "Your Highness, let me do it."
"Can you master it?" Li Zhao squinted at him.
Li Bin: "..."
Although the unicycle looks simple, people who push it for the first time cannot grasp the balance. The unicycle will shake from side to side, or even fall directly to the side.
This is the same as when a person who can ride a bicycle rides a tricycle. When riding a tricycle, the front end of the tricycle will always hit the other side.
When a new tool is developed, it always attracts a lot of attention and attention.
Li Zhao directed them to place huge stones on the wheelbarrow.
A long wooden board is placed on the bottom baffle of the wheelbarrow, which allows the stones to be placed more flatly and balanced.
Seeing more and more stones being placed, everyone's expressions changed.
Li Zhao put on his gloves, hung the pole on his shoulders, made sure it was okay, and slowly lifted the wheelbarrow with a blushing face.
Both the common people and King You's guards were shocked, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"this……"
In fact, everyone knows that although Li Zhao can work, he is not very strong.
There are so many stones weighing hundreds of kilograms. It can be picked up by someone alone, but it will become unbearable after a long time.
Li Zhao gritted his teeth, pushed the wheelbarrow, and walked slowly upward.
When the road over there began to narrow, many people's expressions changed.
"hiss--"
“Can a wheelbarrow carry so much stuff?”
"Is it possible to walk on such a narrow road?"
Soon, everyone discovered something was wrong.
This car may not necessarily be labor-saving, but it must be easy to use.
It's okay to go back and forth to pick things up, but over time it will become too much for your shoulders and waist.
Especially the mountain is so far away, but with this unicycle, everything is different.
In this era, the common vehicles were either horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts, or at worst, mule-carts or donkey-carts.
But even donkeys are not affordable for ordinary people, because raising them requires a lot of food and grass.
As soon as the wheelbarrow came out, it solved the most urgent problems of the people at the bottom.
"Your Highness, can I try?" someone asked.
They are all people who do quick work, and you can understand whether something is useful or not just by looking at it.
Even if people like Li Zhao can deal with it easily, there is no reason why they can't.
Li Zhao was out of breath, and his shoulders were hurting from the pressure of this thing. He couldn't bear it anymore. When he stopped the unicycle, someone immediately stepped forward to take over.
Whenever something new comes out, they are very excited.
They had seen the prince bring miracles too many times and no longer doubted this option.
Old village chiefs such as Long Jia'an, Li Dongqiang, and Wu Tianqiang also ran over.
Old people like them were the most excited when they heard that the prince had invented something new, because every time a new thing appeared, it meant an improvement in work efficiency.
"what is that?"
"wheelbarrow?"
“Hiss—let’s go take a look.”
The old guys in the village came up with hoes and found that the stone weighing more than two hundred kilograms was placed on the wheelbarrow, and it did not tilt and roll down.
"There are basically no bullock carts in our village. If every household has one, it will be extremely convenient whether they go out to work or bring something with them."
