I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 442 [4 More] 442

Gong Shucan said, "It is the hook that can bind the rice."

As he spoke, he drew a hook on the paper. Liu Tan looked down at the hook and suddenly patted his desk and said, "I remembered. During the march, this hook should be movable. At first it was a piece of paper. Open the state, and then as it advances, draw a circular arc to push the rice onto the cutter, but in this case, the form of the cutter cannot be used like scissors.”

Gong Shucan immediately said: "Yes, so what I want is to use a disc-shaped cutting knife, and the cutting knife is in a rotating state during the march."

Liu Tan turned to look at Gong Shucan: "Can it provide driving force at the same time?"

Gong Shucan thought for a while and said: "It will be a little more complicated, but it's okay. If it's just a stationary knife, the effect may not be so good."

Liu Tan couldn't help but reached out and patted Gong Shucan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Sure, it looks like you know a lot about this."

Gong Shucan said with a wry smile: "When I was young, my family was poor, and I used to farm."

Liu Tan's surprise is not surprising, but it seems that the situation of the public loser may be worse than he imagined.

He asked a little strangely: "So at that time, didn't your family think about improving farm tools?"

Gongshucan hesitated for a while before sighing and said: "Gongshujia has always been good at war mechanisms, such as bows and crossbows, and most of the improvement of agricultural tools comes from the hands of the Mohists."

Liu Tan asked curiously: "What else is there to say? Then is there any agreement between you or is it a convention?"

Gong Shucan said calmly: "It's a convention. The public loser must abide by this rule. If the public loser makes a move, then the Mo family can also make a move. When the time comes, with the power of the Mo family, the public loser will only suffer."

Liu Tan understood that the Mohists were more disciplined, otherwise why would there be a word called rigidity.

But the public losers are also lucky, their opponents are real gentlemen, if it's someone like Liu Tan... whoever sticks with you, I can do whatever I want!

He patted Gong Shucan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if the Mo family finds you, you can directly tell them that I issued the order."

Not to mention that the public loser, even the Mohists, would definitely not be able to bear the consequences of resisting the decree, not to mention that Liu Tan is so powerful in the northern border country that no one can overwhelm him except the emperor and prince.

Gong Shucan was slightly taken aback. To be honest, although he thought so in his heart, he made an excuse for himself, but if the Mo family really came to him, he would not really push the matter to Liu Tan, at least before. dare not.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has the confidence to fight the Mohists in the northern border country, and the public losers can be considered to have taken root here anyway.

And Liu Tan has a habit that as long as he makes something beneficial to the people's livelihood, he will try his best to publicize the achievements of the court to the people, and he will also bring public losers in the middle.

Therefore, the people in the northern border country basically only know the public loser and not the Mohist school.

The Northern Territory is the home court of the public losers, can they still lose in their own home court?

But Liu Tan never seemed to want to stay out of the matter, and took the initiative to take responsibility.

At this moment, Gong Shucan seemed to understand why so many people in the Northern Kingdom were so devoted to the King of the Northern Territory.

Gong Shucan was full of energy: "Your Highness, please wait for a few days, and I will make a model first."

Liu Tan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so I won't say anything else. Hurry up. I'll give you a vacation after this is done."

Gong Shucan immediately said, "I'm not afraid of being busy, but I'm afraid of not being busy."

After hearing this, Liu Tan laughed and said, "Don't you want to see how the things you designed are evaluated by ordinary people?"

Gong Shucan was taken aback for a moment, before listening to Liu Tan said: "When the time comes, you can go around for a while, it's not feasible to build a car behind closed doors, the things we make, no matter how perfect we think, must be used by people who say it's good. Well, maybe you can get some inspiration then."

Gongshu was stunned, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Liu Tan waved Gong Shucan to leave. It has to be said that after the cutter had a clue, his heart was half relieved.

The other half is in the production of wool. It is not easy to manufacture a large water spinning wheel, and the most important problem is not only to manufacture a large water spinning wheel, but also to manufacture a water wheel. It is not easy for a large spinning wheel to provide power.

In addition, he has to choose a place that is more suitable for building workshops, because the water wheel of the water-turning spinning wheel is integrated with the spinning wheel, and it is impossible to place it directly by the river. The most important thing is that no one dares to place it by the river. ah.

The mother of the Yellow River is so irritable. If she loses her temper at any time and directly changes the course, won't the workshops placed by the river be flooded?

That would be a huge loss, so Liu Tan would rather open another canal for the water to turn the spinning wheel than take the risk.

However, because Xu Lin's efficiency is very high, the construction of the dam requires manpower and cannot stop once it starts, so there are only a few months when it is suitable to build the dam every year, but digging the canal is not.

So Xu Lin didn't continue to build the dam recently, but dug the needed canals bit by bit first.

Because of this, Liu Tan is more inclined to use the canals that have already been dug.

There are not many places to choose from. First of all, they must not be too far away from the Western Regions, the Xiongnu, and the pastures of the Northern Kingdom. Even if the Northern Kingdom vigorously builds roads, they can only replace all official roads with concrete roads. There are still some difficulties in transportation. If the distance is too far, the transportation cost will be too high, and the price of inferior wool will not be able to be suppressed.

It should not be too far away, but it must be close to the Yellow River, preferably not far from the Central Plains, so that it will be easier to transport to other places.

Putting all these conditions together, Liu Tan chose Wuwei County.

It so happened that during this time the county guards all came to report on their work. On the one hand, it was a summary of the second quarter, and on the other hand, it was a mid-year summary, that is, a summary of the data of the previous two quarters.

In the past, it was natural to send someone to come over for the quarterly summary, but Liu Tan made a rule that the mid-year and year-end summary must be made by the county guard in person.

So he directly called Zhang Chenghan, the sheriff of Wuwei County.

Zhang Chenghan was still a little nervous when he was called to the northern palace alone. After thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

It's just that his sense of crisis is greater than that of the students. After all, the students are at most called parents or something. When he came to Zhang Chenghan, he deeply felt that if he didn't answer well, he might die in the northern palace.

So when Liu Tan saw Zhang Chenghan, he found that he was sweating profusely. He couldn't help but looked outside and asked strangely, "Is it hot outside? Why are you like this?"

Zhang Chenghan immediately said: "No, no, it's the minister...the minister is weak..."

He didn't dare to say that it was the cold sweat that came out of fright, nor did he dare to say that it was caused by walking too fast and too anxiously, for fear that His Highness the King of the Northern Realm would mistake him for complaining, and then he might really be cold.

Liu Tan frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Chenghan's body shape and said, "Then you have to take care of your health, I still have important things for you to do here, come here, and show Zhang Junshou a seat."

Zhang Chenghan was shocked when he heard this sentence, and his mood, which was up and down just now, became much calmer in an instant.

He knew a little bit about His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory. If the other party was really angry, the meeting would be a violent storm, and there was no such thing as a hidden knife in a smile.

What's more, with his status, it's not worth it for the King of the North to hide his sword in his smile.

So when the king of the north said that he had something to tell him to do, it must be true.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chenghan immediately said: "Your Highness has ordered, I will go through fire and water!"

Liu Tan had a toothache expression on his face: "Okay, okay, sit down, this king is asking you to do things, not to send you to death, so don't be so eager to show your loyalty."

Zhang Chenghan sat down cautiously, but his body was still stretched straight, as if he was ready to jump up at any moment.

Liu Tan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his appearance. He didn't think he was a particularly harsh person. As long as these people didn't break the law and discipline and did things up to the standards he set, he would be easy to talk to. Now these counties In Shouzhong, Sang Qian and Kou Zhengda were more natural in front of him.

But he doesn't mind, it's not a bad thing to be intimidating.

Liu Tan took out a document and handed it to the little eunuch beside him, and then said to Zhang Chenghan, "Look at this first."

Zhang Chenghan took the document with both hands, flipped through it in a hurry, was hit by a huge surprise in an instant, and stammered: "Your Highness... Your Highness wants to build a wool workshop? There are many suitable places in Wuwei. Your Highness can choose at will!"

Zhang Chenghan has decided that no matter where Liu Tan chooses, he will support him. Even if there are fields and people there, he will find a way to vacate that place.

If you want to know what the king of the north wants to get, it is basically a cornucopia.

Among other things, look at Dunhuang County, which was originally the poorest county in the Northern Borderlands, but how long has it been?The tax revenue has exceeded that of many counties, and now it seems to be second only to Taiyuan County. Kou Zhengda no longer looks like he used to frown and wretch, his whole face is rosy, and he is full of energy.

Not only that, he also vaguely heard that Kou Zhengda intends to rebuild the county town of Dunhuang County.

Such a speed of development makes other counties envious and envious, but Shuofang County can't compare to them. After all, there is a king's capital here, and the good things must come from the king's capital first.

However, Dunhuang County can reach its current level only through Tongda City. It is a lie that everyone is not sour.

If Wuwei County and Zhangye County are both on the way to Guanshi, merchants from the Central Plains basically pass by them, but they are unable to build Tongda City, and in the end they can only watch Dunhuang County amassing money.

Wuwei County is better. After all, it is still far away from Dunhuang County. Passers-by finally provide him with some income here. Zhangye County is a bit miserable. It is just on the edge of Dunhuang County. Many businessmen would rather go to Tongda City at night than stay. In Zhangye County.

So the relationship between the sheriff of Wuwei County and the sheriff of Zhangye County became very good before, after all, the encounters were similar.

But now he is probably on the verge of prosperity.

Liu Tan resisted the urge to roll his eyes after hearing what the sheriff of Wuwei County said: I think you want me to order a mine in Wuwei!

Of course, based on the situation in Wuwei County, it seems that it is not uncommon to have a mine, but Liu Tan has no such intentions now, he just wants to build a workshop as soon as possible, and provide Lu Xuan with more warm clothes.

So he simply said: "The requirements are all written on it, you go and find a few places, pay attention, don't disturb the people, don't occupy the crops, otherwise don't blame me for taking care of you."

The sheriff of Wuwei County suddenly broke out in a cold sweat again. You must know that he really thought so just now.

After reassuring, the sheriff of Wuwei County happily returned to the post house with the paperwork, and saw the sad-faced sheriff of Zhangye County as soon as he returned.

Seeing his radiant face, the governor of Zhangye County couldn't help but asked, "What is your Highness looking for you?"

The sheriff of Wuwei County shook the document in his hand: "Good thing, Your Highness is going to build a wool workshop in Wuwei County, hahahahaha."

Sheriff of Zhangye County:? ? ? ? ?

The agreed Silk Road two wastes hold hands, who will develop first and who will be the dog?
