Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

The door of the small courtyard of the farmhouse was opened with a creak, and an old man with a gray beard and a commoner came out.

“Village Head, what’s your name? What’s the matter?” Obviously the two have a good relationship. Carpenter Liu looked at Old Village Head and said with a smile.

“It is Li Family small master who is looking for you. He wants to build something that can lift water without human resources.” Old Village Head still doesn’t believe what Li Wangyou said.

Carpenter Liu naturally knows Li Wangyou.

After the pig-killing meal before futile, in Dingzhou Village, except for those who are still in their infants, everyone in Dingzhou Village may not know Old Village Head, but they will definitely not know Li Wangyou.

When I saw that Li Wangyou wanted to build something, the smile on Carpenter Liu’s face became even stronger: “Li Family small master, what are you going to build?”

Li Wangyou Still politely bowed his hands: “Carpenter Liu, I want to build a few waterwheels, I dont know if you can do it?”

“What is a waterwheel? Carriage ox cart old man can build it. , But the waterwheel has never heard of it.” Carpenter Liu looked puzzled.

Li Wangyou asked Carpenter Liu for paper and pen, and began to draw the structure of the waterwheel on it.

The shape of the waterwheel resembles an ancient wheel. Li Wangyou visually observed that the height of the Ganhe embankment was about three meters, so he designed a small waterwheel with a diameter of six meters.

The larger the diameter of the waterwheel, the heavier the weight. In order to be portable, the water bucket on the waterwheel is replaced by moso bamboo.

Li Wangyou drew the drawing and gave it to Carpenter Liu: “Can you see if this waterwheel can be built? It doesn’t need to be exquisite and meticulous, it just needs to be strong and durable.”

Carpenter Liu took the drawing and looked at it carefully for a long time, and asked inexplicably: “Small master, what do you want to build such a large wooden wheel for?”

“Pick water for irrigation.”

“How to use?”

Li Wangyou smiled and explained to him and Old Village Head: “After the waterwheel is built, it will be installed on the bank of the Gan River, and it will be driven by the power of the water. The waterwheel rotates. When the waterwheel rotates at a certain angle, the bamboo tube originally immersed in water will be lifted out of the water. Because the bamboo tube is tied to the waterwheel obliquely, river water is stored in the bamboo tube. When you get to a high place, the opening of the bamboo tube will face downwards, and the water will naturally flow down from the high place. You only need to catch the water in the sink below to extract the endless river water.”

After some explanation, both Carpenter Liu and Old Village Head were stunned. It took a long time for Old Village Head to look excited towards Li Wangyou: “Small master, this, this is a remarkable thing! No manpower is needed. The endless supply of water is really a divine object!”

Carpenter Liu was even more excited, grabbing the drawing: “small master, I will build the waterwheel you want for free. I just ask you to allow me, Liu Family, to build this waterwheel in the future.”

Li Wangyou haha smiled: “Of course it can, then please entrust Carpenter Liu.”

Waterwheel this Thing, as long as it is created, the discerning person will know what is going on at a glance, and there is no value in keeping it secret. Since Carpenter Liu is willing to help him build a waterwheel in exchange for drawings for free, Li Wangyou is naturally happy.

“By the way, Carpenter Liu, the bearings of this waterwheel are best made of steel. I wonder if you can do it?”

“Yes, yes! I will go to the county today Li Blacksmiths shop built according to the drawings. I dont know how many waterwheels the small master needs to build?”

“Five waterwheels are enough. I wonder if Carpenter Liu can build them in a few days?”

“Ten days! Ten days old man is enough to build these five waterwheels, but this installation requires a lot of manpower.” Carpenter Liu estimated the weight of the waterwheel, which is not something that his old arms and legs can move. of.

Old Village Head hehe smiled: “Liu old man, just build the waterwheel. I will call all the villagers to help install it in ten days. Dont worry.”

“There is no There is a problem.”

Li Wangyou explained some details about building the waterwheel with Carpenter Liu, and left after confirming that Carpenter Liu understood everything.

But just after two steps, Li Wangyou stepped back again: “Carpenter Liu, I heard that your son is also a carpenter. Can I ask someone to help me make something?”

Carpenter Liu said with a smile: “If the small master asks them to do something, it is worthy of them. I will leave Dalang to help me make a waterwheel. You can take Erlang Saburo away.”

” Thank you very much Carpenter Liu. Then please invite Erlang Liu and Saburo to my house tomorrow. I will tell them what they need to do.”

Li Wangyou remembered the bathroom renovation plan that Su Changqing promised before, and now he has If you have money, don’t wrong yourself. It’s a serious matter to remodel the bathroom as soon as possible.

Li Wangyou in other places in Great Tang can tolerate it, but the sanitary conditions are really bad. Not to mention Su Changqing’s opinion, even he is not used to it.

With food in hand, I am not worried. Li Wangyou intends to expand the previous Great Tang modern bathroom plan.

“Old Village Head, can you help me find some people first? I want to renovate the house a bit. Are there masons in the village?”

“Yes, there are Several people usually help people build houses. Your father asked them to renovate the house. What’s wrong, the small master wants to rebuild the house again?” Li Wangyou smiled and shook his head: “No house. Just make a simple transformation. In addition, Old Village Head, where is the kiln mouth nearby? I want to burn a batch of porcelain.”

Old Village Head is getting more and more confused about what Li Wangyou wants to do, but In his opinion, Li Wangyou is a talented person, just looking at the waterwheel. Where can mortals come up with this?

The old man feels that Li Wangyou is not a star under the sky, and it is not far off.

So even if he didn’t understand, he still patiently told him where to make porcelain. Hu County has a kiln for making porcelain. Although it is not a fine product, the craftsmanship is still gone.

Li Wangyou thanked Old Village Head and went home humming in a good mood.

“What is so happy?” Su Changqing asked Li Wangyou with a smile on his face.

“hehe, I have asked someone to start remodeling the house tomorrow, and the modern bathroom will be on the stage soon!” Li Wangyou showed Su Changqing.

“Really?” Su Changqing was surprised and delighted by these words.

Li Wangyou slapped his chest: “Leave this to me. Within a week, you can enjoy modern bathroom facilities. Go, help me measure the size, and I will go to the county to customize Tiles.”

Little Missy Pei Lan didnt know what her Master and Changqing elder sister were going to do, but saw the two mysterious and secretive men ran to the west wing and backyard with measuring tools for a long time. Write calculations on paper.

This makes her strange, but it’s not easy to ask, so she can only hide a little suspicion in her stomach.

Since the Master became seriously ill, Pei Lan feels like he has changed.

But Pei Lan only thinks that her Master is getting smarter and better for her, so Little Missy will not think about other things, just hope that life will go on like this, that is the happiest Up.

Wait after Li Wangyou and Su Changqing whispering discussed the matter, Li Wangyou rode out to the county seat.

This horse was sent to Li Wangyou when the county staff came to measure the land in the morning. It caused quite a stir in the village and even made the old steward Li Heng laugh so hard he couldn’t close his mouth. Up.

In the eyes of Great Tang people, owning a horse is the same as buying a car for later generations. It is worth celebrating.

It takes only 20 li from Dingzhou Village to Hu County, and it takes 5 minutes of time to ride a horse. Li Wangyou inquired a little, and found a kiln in the outskirts of the county where porcelain was made.
