Little wealth

"drive--"

As soon as the gate of the town opened the next day, a carriage carrying a threshing machine set off from the town to the village below.

The carriage passed a village along the road, and the two people on the carriage put down a threshing machine, and told the head of the village what the wooden frame was and how it was used.They didn't make any stops in the middle, and the carriage went to the next village.

There are dozens of small villages in Anyang County, large and small, and the few threshing machines sent today are not enough for half of the villages.Not to mention that there is only one threshing machine in a village, and so many people have to take turns to use it.But as many threshing machines as there are now, they will first send them to the villagers in the village below. It is better to have one than none at all.

"Go to Sihe Village on Thursday, tell them to hurry up, and say that I need twenty more threshing machines, and let them drive them out as soon as possible." When Master Fu saw the person who came back, he immediately asked his side The people who went to Sihe Village went to Sihe Village and added half more threshing machines. At least all the villages in the county under his jurisdiction must have such a threshing machine.

As for the villages that are further away, it will be a few days later to get it. Even if it is not used this year, it will definitely be used next year!

"Okay, let's go here, adults and children." Zhou Zhou agreed, and took the people to Sihe Village again.

"Ah Wu and you, whichever village you go to, tell the people in their village, if their village can produce a carpenter, first give them a threshing machine, and you will bring back the master carpenter by the way." Master Fu He said to Chen Wu and others who came back.

"Okay." It was Chen Wu who delivered the threshing machine today. Recently, there were no cases or things to do in the yamen. As a policeman, he helped the adults with their errands, and he was very active in doing it.

Sihe Village received the county magistrate's request for an additional order, and Master Zhao agreed without much hesitation.Originally, he thought that the county magistrate would send him three or two people to help at most, but he didn't expect that the county magistrate would send half as many people as he had imagined. With the help of brothers and sisters, they could do more work. Valley machine.

Moreover, after the first day of running-in, they became more familiar with their work and cooperated with each other tacitly. The speed of work of a group of carpenters has increased a lot.

In addition, the county magistrate gave him a few more master carpenters from nowhere. After there were more people, each of them was responsible for making different parts, and finally combined these parts to make a threshing machine. It greatly speeds up their speed of making threshing machines.

Therefore, after making seven threshing machines on the first day, the number of threshing machines made every subsequent day is more than that of the previous day, and this number is still increasing.These threshing machines will be sent to the yamen along with the carpenters when they return to the town after a day's work. The yamen will send people to take these threshing machines to Send to the village below.

The following villages have marriages with each other, and the nearby villages will soon know what happened in which village.

For example, Chenjia Village has a threshing machine, but Lijia Village has not. Seeing that other villages have such a good thing for threshing millet, the villagers and the village chief of Lijia Village are naturally jealous and impatient. Everyone is anxiously waiting for the threshing machine in their village.After learning that the last village had received the threshing machine sent by the county magistrate, the village chiefs and villagers of these villages stood at the entrance of the village and waited for their village's threshing machine.

"I'm coming."

"Come to our village!"

Seeing a carriage approaching their village from a distance, the villagers who followed the village chief at the entrance of the village cheered.

"Where is the village chief of Lijia Village? He came out to collect your village's threshing machine!" The carriage stopped at the entrance of their village, and the person sitting on the shaft jumped down and took out a threshing machine for them from the carriage. Put it on the ground.

"Yes, yes, the village chief of Lijia Village is here. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The old village chief went out to collect the threshing machines of their village, and said a few words to the two elders who brought them the threshing machines If you are grateful, I would also like to invite people to their village to drink some water and sit for a while.

"No need, we have to rush to the next place, so we won't sit down." Detective Chen quickly declined the old village chief's kindness, turned around and got into the carriage, letting the driver go to the next village.

They passed through quite a few villages along the way. If two villages are relatively close to each other, and they sent a threshing machine to the previous village the day before, then when they come the next day, the village head of the next village will He and the villagers must wait for them at the entrance of the village in advance, which saves them a lot of time and saves them from going into the village to find someone to ask someone like they did at the beginning.

As soon as the threshing machine was put down, they continued on to the next place.

The villages in the front are relatively close, and the further you go, the farther the villages will be. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth in a day. If they don’t hurry up, they may not be able to return to the town before the sun sets. on.

So the more they go to the farther villages to deliver the threshing machines, the more time they will spend on the journey, but they still have some pride and enthusiasm in delivering the threshing machines to the villagers. Satisfying, this is completely different from their usual investigation and arrest of bad guys.

On the way to the threshing machine, Chen Kuai and the others received gratitude and gratitude from the villagers in every village below.Even though it was just such a small matter of running errands, he gained a lot of different things.

The villagers in the village that received the threshing machine at first still didn't know why the county magistrate gave them such a strange wooden frame. When it fell, these villagers were shocked, only then did they know that their county magistrate had someone send them something precious.

"This must be a treasure for the gods!"

"Our county magistrate is a good official!"

"..."

These villagers immediately knelt down in the direction of Anyang Town, bowed and kowtowed in that direction, saying words of gratitude, thanking their county magistrate for sending them such a precious thing.

Don't look at such a small wooden frame, it is much faster to beat the millet than the method they used before, and it saves time and effort.

In these villages that received the threshing machines, countless people queue up to thresh the millet every day. The sound of swishing and swishing keeps ringing from morning to night. It can be seen on everyone's face.

And because of the threshing machine in the village, many families have finished threshing their millet ahead of time, and transported it to the grain drying field in the village to dry. After drying, it is the grain that their family will eat for the next year.

***

At this time, Mr. Shang Shu, who had been resting in the inn in the town for a few days, finally got over the seasickness. Mr. Yan also heard about the threshing machine in Sihe Village in the inn.

"Threshing machine? What is this?" Mr. Yan murmured in his heart. The name sounds like something related to a threshing machine, but he has to see it with his own eyes to know what it looks like.

So on the second day when he was able to get out of bed, Lord Yan asked the people below to prepare a carriage and go to Sihe Village, accompanied by the businessman Boss Zhou who accompanied them back from Kyoto.

Zhou Xian knew that Lord Yan was an important minister in the court, but his official position was much higher than those of the petty officials he had tried to curry favor with before. The other Lord Xu looked cold-faced and exuded a resentment all over his body. The aura thousands of miles away is not someone he can curry favor with, so he might as well stay by this Lord Yan's side.And he still has a task to go along the way, which is to take this Master Yan to find that Master Zhao. The task has not been completed, so he is not in a hurry to go back to the south.

It's just that Mr. Yan was seasick all the way, and when he arrived in Anyang, he lay on the bed for several days before recovering, and he didn't bring up the matter of the door until today.

In the last few days when they were in the inn, they heard people say that there was a threshing machine in Sihe Village, and the first thing he thought of was the master surnamed Zhao.So he also wanted to go to Sihe Village to find that Master Zhao. Thanks to the wooden carts he brought, he was lucky enough to meet the emperor and meet the two adults. If so, that Carpenter Zhao must be his. Hit the nobleman.

Their carriage set off from the town, and after asking people, they came all the way to the direction of Sihe Village. They met people at the entrance of the village and asked where the home of that Master Zhao was.

After getting the guidance, they found Master Zhao's house all the way.

They also happened to be lucky that day, because they set off earlier and walked faster on the road, so they stopped in front of Zhao's courtyard one after the other with the carriage in front.

The carriage in front had no shelter, and a group of master carpenters were sitting on it. It was not the first day for the master carpenters to come here. They got off the carriage one by one, and went into the courtyard of Zhao's house familiarly. up.

"My lord, please come down." After Zhou Xian got out of the carriage, he reached out to help the adult behind him get off.

Mr. Yan was helped out of the carriage, and seeing the group of carpenters in front talking and laughing, he heeled up without saying a word.

"Hey?" My... my lord, where are you going?

Boss Zhou watched the old man, who was not young, but walked no slower than the young man, ran away with the man with his legs slicking, and he was stunned for a moment before he saw the man run away.So what is he going to do?Do you follow along, or go to the host's house to say hello?

Just when he was about to follow, he heard someone calling him.
