After eating, the two guards left with all the ships, and temporarily transferred six ships from the imperial court. They were going to pick up people and bring things back.
The number of boats in Xiaqiu Village is fixed, four when there are more, and one when there are less.
There were many ships in Nanjing, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also afraid that someone would launch a water battle and attack him, so he stationed a special naval force.
In this way, they can be mobilized to work at any time, and there is no problem if Xiaqiu Village does not leave a boat.
Zhu Wentian went back to his room to draw drawings, and the mayor came in like a thief: "Hanhan, you wink at me, do you have something important?"
"We are not rebelling. There is no need for this. I designed a universal wheel. Today I saw a wheelbarrow with a plank to deliver food. It's troublesome."
Zhu Wentian showed the finished drawing to the chief.
The universal wheel has a simple structure and does not transport heavy objects. There is no need to make separate bearings. The existing axle technology is sufficient.
When pushing things, you can use three wheels or four wheels. Basically, four wheels are better. Anyway, it can turn in any way.
"What's the use of this thing?" The manager thought hard while looking at the picture, but he didn't have a specific idea for a while.
"Add four universal wheels under the table. As long as the longest diagonal of the table can pass, you can push the table to run around quickly and turn it as you want."
Zhu Wentian gestured with the table in front of him. He lifted the table and turned it around easily. He had great strength and couldn't help it.
"Oh~~" Li Chang realized: "Sending food is easy."
"It can be used on the construction site of the Imperial City. It is very convenient to use with the hoist crane. It can be used in Fuhua Building and our library."
Zhu Wentian doesn't think that a good thing is only used to deliver meals. The steering problem is the most troublesome when transporting heavy and long objects at the construction site.
"Okay, I'll find someone to make it tomorrow." The manager left with the drawings and an article copied by Hanhan.
He had to teach Qin King Zhu Xi and give him a book, which he could not read. Hanhan would provide him with one or two articles every day and he could just memorize it.
In this way, he himself also learned a lot, and felt that he was one of the more outstanding ones among the many.
…
On the morning of July 16th, King Zhu Ping of Qin came back and continued to focus on things in the library.
He looked very happy, and finally found Zhu Wentian and whispered: "Yesterday, my father and mother praised me and gave me an extra chicken drumstick during dinner."
He feels embarrassed to tell others this, so Hanhan is the most appropriate word, Hanhan is stupid.
"Praise, chicken, eat, hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian was so helpless.
Zhu Xi found someone to express his happiness, and went to exchange learning experiences with the children in Xiaqiu Village.
He also knew that he had to study. He had planned to do things during the day and read at night.
Then I discovered that there was no need for it. The learning atmosphere in Xiaqiu Village was so good, it was better than in Dabentang.
The students brought in from outside the main hall were too respectful to themselves, and it was very difficult for them to speak. The teacher on duty that day just boringly talked about the original text and the annotations.
How can the children in Xiaqiu Village tell stories that are interesting? The headmaster would occasionally say nurturing words under certain circumstances.
The key is to have a fool who can safely say what's on his mind, but this fool will occasionally enlighten people and feel a little clever.
For example, last time I said I didn’t know what I was looking for in my future princess, what should I do if she didn’t look good? The fool said kindness, virtue, wisdom, and virtuousness, hehehe!
You really should look for someone like this. My mother is not as good-looking as Concubine Sun, but my father respects her.
Zhu Xi was enjoying his freedom and happiness, and it was time for lunch.
Starting today, Xiaqiu Village will be responsible for the food, and Fuhua House will no longer deliver it. Fuhua House only delivers delicious dishes but does not understand dietary therapy.
When eating in Xiaqiu Village, it depends on the weather and everyone's physical condition, and the combination of meat and vegetables. Fuhua Tower does not have this ability.
'Bang, bang, bang...' The sound of the wheel colliding with the ground came.
The people in the kitchen pushed ten three-story dining carts from the Danqing restaurant, which are similar to those used to collect food on planes, trains or some fast food restaurants.
This one is relatively large and has many people, so those who work must be provided with food.
The main tasks that the staff are currently doing are cleaning the floor, building bookshelves for the original pawn shop, and installing fire protection facilities.
The buildings and other buildings at the back will be constructed after the arrival of the exclusive engineering team from Xiaqiu Village. They are professional.
"It's time for everyone to eat!" The little girl shouted loudly when she saw the food being delivered, and the other children followed suit.
The workers first wash their hands and use hand sanitizer, and then come to receive the meal. They use a small basin because they find it troublesome to have too many utensils.
The person in the kitchen prepared half a basin of rice, two spoons of braised pork, one spoon of vinegar-braised cabbage, one spoon of stir-fried green onions with eggs, one spoon of pickled eggplant strips, and a small bowl of soup.
They picked up the pickles with their chopsticks, piled them all in the basin, and found a place to eat.
Others carry trays with bowls on them. Xiaqiu Village has not yet made gridded dinner plates.
Zhu Wentian was thinking of a way, considering that it would be laborious to make a grid, so it would be better to place a pile of square tableware on a tray, which would also count as a dinner plate.
Wait for the craftsmen to arrive and let them make it. If you want to sell lunch boxes in the future, use the limited edition ones.
There is no limit to the craftsmen who work for themselves. If there is not enough food, they will be beaten again, but they cannot stare at the braised pork. Eating like this all the time will cause unbalanced nutrition.
Just like the children at school, give them vegetables as much as possible, I advise! Even scares, including having to drink the soup.
"Zhu Lichang, this car is so easy to use! How can the wheel go back and forth?"
Zhu Ming was not in a hurry to get food. He paid attention to the dining cart that was being pushed in. He felt it was amazing.
"Your Highness, do you think it would be better to use it elsewhere?" the headmaster said sideways.
"I can carry things at the construction site. Give me one of these carts and I'll push them back. Your people in Xiaqiu Village are really awesome."
As expected, Zhu Xi extended the use of the universal wheel to the construction site. He still found it incredible.
The chief put his hands down and said: "You don't have to do everything, only think about it when it is useful. To make a tool with all kinds of skills, it must be more valuable than to be useful. If the tool is not usable, the work will not be done. If learning is useless, what will be done?
Zigong asked about benevolence. Confucius said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If you live in this country, you should be a wise man who serves its officials, and a benevolent friend of its scholars."
"Yes!" Zhu Xi nodded. He knew the latter part, but he hadn't heard the previous one, so he remembered it this time.
Zhu Taiyi and the other four were the most unlucky. They had to write again, and when they didn't know which word they had to ask the director.
They all wanted the prince to give them a salary increase, not because they were tired, but because their skills had improved and they were writing all day long! Remember!
The craftsmen ate quickly, sipping the soup in a cool place after finishing the meal, and the village sent a plate of seasonal fruits.
Everyone felt that with such a kind of food, they could work for a lifetime. They had to work hard, otherwise they would be kicked out and they would have to eat another kind of food.
The other is old rice and pickles. If you are thirsty, you can find water to drink. Occasionally, you can cook it with minced meat and other vegetables, which is a mercy.
The key is not to take a break after eating and go to work immediately. People will be confused and it is easy for something to happen while working.
