Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 110 It's Amazing
It is impossible for a well to not produce water. Although there were not so many high-tech products to assist in the detection of some data in ancient times.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. Without high-tech products, it was the most inconvenient in ancient times. Similarly, the human environment in ancient times has not been polluted and damaged on a large scale.

The well water here has a slightly sweet taste, so there is no need to worry about whether the well water will be polluted or not.

Another example is that most of the wells here are about three meters deep, that is, one foot deep, and those that can be dug to a depth of two feet are considered deep wells. Unless such a well is in a year of severe drought, even the ground will be baked and cracked Otherwise, it is unlikely that such a deep well will dry up.

But in later generations, the foundation to build a high-rise house was more than three meters. A rural family would need more than ten meters to dig a well. Anyone who could dig out water more than ten meters must have burned high incense, and the groundwater was also It may not necessarily be safe.

Another example is the haze of later generations, um, speaking of haze, Qin Chao couldn't help but miss the haze of later generations...

Let's talk about wells. In fact, it was really difficult to dig an abandoned well in ancient times, at least in Qin Chao's opinion.

As long as the location is correct, dig six meters if there is no water at three meters, and dig ten meters if there is no water at six meters. Sometimes no water does not mean that this is an abandoned well, but that the depth of digging is not enough.

However, in ancient times, when the cost of digging wells was extremely high, it was not easy to dig a deep well. Even powerful landlords were reluctant to dig a deep well.

However, this problem can be solved very well by using the percussion drilling method. Anyway, no one needs to go down to dig, and it only needs to be drilled down once.

It takes ten days of manpower to dig, but it only takes less than a day to use this method, and you can drill as deep as you want, which is nothing more than a waste of one more day.

A total of five wells were drilled in Qin Chao's fief. Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianhu, as well as some more flexible men in the village, also got the true biography of Qin Chao.

Using these five wells, Qin Chao explained to them one by one how to judge whether water is about to come out by looking at the color of the mud, how to choose the location of the wellbore, and how deep they must give up when drilling, etc.

Qin Chao entrusted Cheng Chumo to take charge of the well-drilling task of Chengjia Zhuangzi.

Anyway, this guy is quite curious. Ever since he learned the knowledge of drilling wells, he has been digging wells every day in his dreams. He wished he could just drill a well in Qin Chao's yard to test whether his skills are real.

Now that the tools were ready, Cheng Chumo decided to drill a hundred wells in Chengjiazhuangzi in one go. This guy decided to turn all his fields into irrigated fields.

As for Cheng Chumo's coercive behavior, Qin Chao raised his hands in approval.

The Cheng Family Zhuangzi is not just a Zhuangzi. After all, Cheng Yaojin’s identity is there. If the Cheng Family Zhuangzi only spends [-] Guan to turn dry fields into irrigated fields, how much positive effect will this kind of news have? ?This is immeasurable. The more people you see, the more impulsive the rich landlords will be. At that time, every family wants to turn the fields into irrigated fields. Wouldn't Qin Chao make a fortune?

"Keep beating, water will definitely come out within half an hour." Cheng Chumo squatted next to the mud that had just been lifted up and observed for a while, and then carefully compared it with the previous mud. Finally, an excited expression appeared on his face. shouted at the men of the well-drilling team in Xiba Village.

Hearing Cheng Chumo's roar, the men worked even harder.

The shorter the time it takes to dig a well, the more they earn. The wages offered by Qin Chao are still very attractive. Although they need to leave their hometown and leave the field work to women, the money they earn is enough to buy Get all the food.

The wages Qin Chao gave them were not paid by the day, but by the well. When a well was drilled, they had a commission of [-] yuan, and the [-] yuan was divided equally among all the people responsible for building the well.

But the pipe connection and the water pressure device need to be installed by a separate person, so in fact, after drilling a well, their commission is 350 yuan, that is to say, after drilling a well, as long as the water comes out, the rest of the work can be handed over to Others, they can share the 370 money equally.

And there are seven people in one group, six are responsible for pulling the rope, and one is responsible for pouring water in, pumping oar and so on.

On average, each person can get [-] yuan per well. What is the concept of [-] yuan?These days, they help others to work, and even if they are better, they only get three qian a day, and some even don’t pay, and they just have to have someone to do it for them.

For the remaining fifty dollars, 25 dollars will be given to those who install pipes and equipment, and 25 dollars will be given to those who are responsible for transporting water.

Regardless of the small amount of money, they were drawn into [-] groups at the same time. After all, if they could drill [-] wells a day, they would earn no less than the well-drilling group.

"Master, it's... water..." Xu Zhong hurried to the field, found Cheng Yaojin who was lying there basking in the sun, and said in a panic.

"What? Water came out?" Cheng Yaojin was taken aback, and said, "How is this possible? It took less than a day. How could water come out?"

"It's really out of the water, young master is so excited like a lunatic." Xu Zhong continued.

Cheng Yaojin got up in a hurry, and he really saw the crazy Cheng Chumo from a distance, with deep suspicion in his heart, he walked over quickly.

When Cheng Yaojin walked to the mouth of the so-called well where the water came out, his whole face was instantly dark, although it was not very white in the first place.

"My lord, don't worry, at most half an hour, you can see the rushing well water being pumped up." Cheng Chumo had already seen Cheng Yaojin, and seeing that Cheng Yaojin was about to get angry, he hurriedly spoke first road.

Immediately, regardless of Cheng Yaojin's reaction, he hurriedly called the pipe worker to measure, then make and install the pipe.

The depth of each well is different, and it is impossible to prepare bamboo poles in advance, but some necessary preparations must be made in advance.

For example, bamboo poles are made into sections of three to five meters, and the upper and lower connection bayonets are engraved in advance, and as many as you need at that time, you can directly connect as many as you need.

Soon, a piece of rope was lowered along the mouth of the well, and long thin bamboo poles were tied to the rope. After a short time, the depth of the well was measured.

The plumbing worker quickly connected two five-meter-long pipes together, then sealed them with tung oil, sealed the melted candles on the joints, and finally covered the joints with the external protective shell made in advance, and fixed them tightly together.

After ensuring that the fixing is correct, several pipe workers put the pipe into the well little by little with the help of the previous drill bit support, until there is about half a meter left on the upper part. A pipe worker picks up the bayonet bracket prepared in advance and tightens it from both sides Snap together tightly and just fit into the grooves carved in the tube earlier to prevent the tube from sinking.

After that, it took a cup of tea to install the water pressure device. After everything was done, Cheng Chumo couldn't wait to lift the bucket and poured some water into it. After only pressing it five or six times, a lot of dirty mess Soil-covered well water gushed out of the pipe.

"Can this well still be drilled like this?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being a little dazed when he saw that the well water really came out. Although the well water is turbid, it will be normal after a while. Cheng Yaojin still knows this, but this The method is too much, isn't it?

　Please collect it!The results of the recommended tickets are finally not so embarrassing, but the collection is... I really can only ask for it.Although I also want to add more, but I can't add more in this time period.
