I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 211 Shelling Machine

"What machine?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help being interested.

But Ying Changsheng explained.

"Father, do you know what is the most common thing that ordinary people do in their daily life?"

"This is naturally working in the field?"

Ying Zheng said with some doubts that the current world is a world with backward productivity. The Great Qin Empire has a population of more than 2000 million, most of whom are busy in agriculture.

And the most important thing they do every day.

It should be working in the field.

But after the voice of Yingzheng fell.

Ying Changsheng shook his head.

"If you don't plant the land, how can you go to the ground every day?"

That's right, it doesn't mean that every family farms the land every day.

Because how can there be so much life in the ground?

How can there be so many weeds to weed, how can there be so many, so many fertilizers to fertilize.

How can there be so much crop work to do?
You should know that farmers are also divided into busy and slack.

When the farming season is busy, it is very busy.

When the farming is slack, I am too idle to die.

I heard my son Ying Changsheng say this.

Ying Zheng is also a little confused, he really doesn't understand what he has to do at the end of his life.

Just as Ying Zheng looked helplessly at his son Ying Changsheng.

Ying Changsheng explained to him with a smile.

"This job is also very simple to say, it is nothing more than peeling the millet!"

Ying Changsheng's voice fell and Ying Zheng suddenly responded.

Yes, the common people have to do such a job year round.

The Great Qin Empire at this time.

Speaking of which, the staple food that the common people eat is rice.

Or millet.

As for the wheat?
This thing is not the mainstream of stone grain in the current Daxian.

At this time, this thing has not even been promoted, because the people at that time have not yet ordered a technology tree.

This tech tree is called Grinding Noodles.

I also don't know how to process pasta.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to promote wheat.

The staple food eaten by the people.

It's all rice.

Or millet.

Both crops are said to taste good.

But the problem is that they have an awkward fact.

That's the two grains, all wrapped in a shell.

This shell both protects the grain.

It can keep the grain in the earth's crust for a long time without being damaged.

Yes, it can be preserved for decades or even thousands of years with that crude preservation technology.

But, every time you eat this crop.

But it also needs to do a very laborious thing.

That is to find ways to remove the husk of this grain.

At this moment, it is a laborious job.

until later generations.

If there is no machinery, it is still a laborious job.

in the history of later generations.

Grinding flour or dehulling grain without machines is a tiring job.

It may be the result of a busy morning's work.

It's just enough for a family to eat and drink.

Therefore, the common people need to grind noodles every day, and they need to peel the rice.

This is a tiring job.

And he has to continue every day, which is simply too painful.

Doing this kind of work for a long time is not good for people's health.

You must know that in the Qin Dynasty.

A prisoner who committed a crime.

Do this kind of work.

Generally it is.

The most despicable kind.

And it is the highest penalty.

I heard Ying Zheng say in disbelief.

"This steam engine can peel rice?"

"it should be OK!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

He has already asked people to do the matching machines.

However, whether it can be produced is still unknown.

after all.

Later generations I love to invent inside.

The one who made the same machine.

Not after several failures.

It wasn't through the eyes of family members and the persuasion of friends that I finally persisted.

So it's normal to fail.

To face failure.

Instead of being afraid of failure.

After all, that famous saying is not a good one.

Failure is fucking success.

Not long after, a huge machine for removing rice husks was brought in.

Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning to see it.

Then I have some doubts about this stupid machine made of thick wood and iron structure.

Is it possible to complete the husking of paddy?
Just when Yingzheng was in doubt.

Ying Changsheng indeed ordered people to use belts.

A steam engine is connected.

With this sheller two runners.

used to provide power.

To tell the truth, it is not difficult to design a sheller, the difficulty is to provide a stable and continuous power.

I only saw it after the connection was successful.

Ying Changsheng then ordered the workers on the side to start up the steam engine.

Because the coal in the steam engine has not yet been extinguished.

So it started up quickly, and then only the roaring sound of the steam engine came out of the air.

In Ying Zheng's surprised eyes.

Ying Changsheng then ordered the people beside him to take out a bag of rice.

then.

Put this bag of rice into it along the feeding port on the top.

Then the threshing machine driven by the steam engine.

Then it works quickly.

Not long at the outlet below.

I only saw the metal opening under the material outlet.

Immediately, the husked rice began to emerge outside.

It is a piece of white flowers, although there are still some rice husks mixed in.

But it was considered clean.

It can be eaten directly.

Looking at Ying Zheng, he exclaimed with excitement on his face.

"This thing is really a good thing. With this thing, it should be able to save the common people a lot of effort!"

Ying Zheng's voice fell.

aside.

Someone muttered.

"This thing is good, it can save a lot of effort, but after all, with this kind of thing, I'm afraid that many people in the folk can be lazy..."

After the sound came.

Ying Changsheng frowned at the guy he was looking at.

Then he opened his mouth and scolded.

"Some hardships can be eaten, and some hardships cannot be eaten. If you really want to suffer, then go to beg for food. You can eat any kind of hardship. The result of my hard work is to let the people of the world suffer less. , not suffer for the sake of suffering!"

After Ying Changsheng's words came.

The official immediately showed embarrassment.

And Ying Zheng also spoke.

"It's true, you should suffer if you should suffer, and if you shouldn't suffer, then you shouldn't suffer!"

Speaking of Yingzheng, he looked at the steam engine.

He said with emotion.

"Some of these things can be promoted in various places. In this way, the common people carry rice and use it to shell the shells, and only need to pay a fee!"

"Father is wise!"

Ying Changsheng immediately agreed.

He sneered again and said to the official who had just spoken.

"And, don't you need to work hard? If you work hard, you need to eat more. After all, people need to eat to be strong, and machines need to burn coal to be strong. After doing so much work, you need to eat and consume food. , isn’t it better than consuming some coal?”

"But what if the coal is exhausted?"

Ying Changsheng's voice fell, and the official didn't dare to refute.

But Ying Zheng frowned suddenly and murmured.

Not to mention winning the government, I really have some thoughts of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

He even considered that the coal would be dug out.
