A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Immediately, I remembered the kind of wheat-harvesting machine in the later generations, and it would be fine if the machine was changed from automatic to manual.

Zhang Jie pulled out more than a dozen blacksmiths and began to get busy around Gu Qing.

"What are you using such a big mill for?" Zhang Jie looked puzzled.

"Didn't you see the blade on it?" Gu Qing pointed to the blueprint and said, "This is a machine for harvesting wheat. Although the efficiency is a little slower, it is at least faster and more convenient."

"Oh." Zhang Jie nodded half-understanding.

The blacksmiths are skilled and have produced more than 300 blades.

Gu Qing made a big wheel with a height of half a person and a length of more than five meters. He led more than 100 people on it to make grooves for inserting blades one by one.

On the second day, Fang Yizhi and Li Tai continued to lead people to work in the fields, and the villagers' hands and feet would soon have to endure the pain of bending over again and again.

"What is that..." A villager saw a huge monster approaching.

"King Wei, look!" Fang Yi pushed Li Tai who was sweating profusely.

"What's the matter!" Li Tai raised his head irritably, sweating profusely, and saw a huge monster moving, and as the giant wheel rolled, the wheat in the field fell down in pieces.

"My God..." Li Tai looked blankly.

Seven or eight cows were pulling the huge wheel. Gu Qing was sitting on it behind the wheel. Behind him were four or five people who were struggling to step on the pedals to make the big wheel turn, and the wheat kept falling down.

"Wahhahahaha!" Zhang Jie laughed under the sluggish eyes of the crowd, "Did you see it, this is... what is this?"

"Wheat cutting artifact!" Gu Qing added.

"Yes! This is the magic weapon for harvesting wheat!" Zhang Jie laughed loudly.

The big wheels moved very slowly, but the place they passed cut a gully in the neat wheat field.

Two days later, officials in the court were also worried about the grain harvest. When he came to Pushan Village, he was shocked by the flat wheat field in front of him. Finished?Surprised to see the harvested wheat all over the village, the corners of his eyes twitched twice in fright.

Chapter 444

The official looked at the scene and was speechless for a while, and stepped forward to ask the old farmer in front of him who was picking up the wheat, "My old man, have you finished harvesting the grain so soon?"

The old farmer nodded, "It's the county magistrate who made a big guy called something called a magic tool. He cut all the wheat all the way. The whole village can collect the wheat in the fields, which saves effort."

"big guy?!"

"It's like a big wheel." The old farmer kept moving his hands and continued, "I lent it to the next village to use. Why don't the officials go and have a look."

On the other side of the village, people from the two neighboring villages started arguing about using the wheat harvester first, and the two villages acted as if they were going to do it in order to quarrel with the wheat harvester.

Zhang Jie looked at the scene in front of him with a frown and asked Yang Sheng beside him, "Brother Yang, what should we do, I'm afraid there will be a fight."

After spitting out the grass roots in his mouth, Yang Sheng walked up to the two groups of people in the front two rows, and shouted loudly, "Why are you arguing?"

"Obviously we borrowed it first!"

"Our village is close, so it's okay to cut ours first and then yours."

"..."

"Okay!" Yang Sheng yelled impatiently, "Every old man, why are you arguing with a woman like a woman, do you want me to pick a place for you, and you will pull out more than a dozen people from your respective villages to have a big fight. Whoever beats someone to the ground will use it first! Ah? How about it!"

The people on both sides stood on one side with muffled voices and closed their mouths.

"Masters, don't just know how to quarrel like girls." Yang Sheng said, "Whoever borrows it first will use it first, if anyone dares to quarrel again, I will dismantle this thing, and no one will use it! "

"..."

"Did you hear that!" Yang Sheng shouted again.

The two groups were silent.

Zhang Jie arranged for the harvester to smooth things over, and Yang Sheng lay on the grass, biting the grass root in his mouth and looking at the clouds in the blue sky.

Chang'an,

The fat monk was also talking to some iron dealers, "Sell me all your pig iron."

"That's impossible, you can't buy so much pig iron." The iron dealer said, "If you can sell it for a few yuan, it's fine, but if you buy so much, I'm afraid the officials will find out, and I can't do this business. Something will happen to you too."

"You won't sell it, right?" The fat monk smiled and greeted the brothers behind him, "Each of you buy a few pieces of pig iron, and I'll wait till you run out."

"Is this okay?" The fat monk said with a smile again.

"Brother monk, what do you want so much pig iron for?" The iron dealer could guess that this yelling figure in front of him should be running errands for some dignitaries.

The fat monk threw down a heavy bag of silver cakes, "This is enough for you, and you can keep the rest yourself."

"Thank you, brother." The iron dealer smiled and looked at the flowers when he saw the silver cakes.

"Hurry up and take them all and send them to the village." The fat monk commanded and said, "Everyone can only take a few yuan, and no one can take too much. Don't break the rules of business."

When the court official found the harvester, he was amazed at the huge machine in front of him, and asked Zhang Jie, "Brother, I am an official of the Ministry of Households. How dare I ask that this thing was made by Gu Xianhou?"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jie looked at the guy in official uniform in front of him.

"It's like this." The man said with a smile, "Can you make more, the suburbs of Chang'an City are tens of miles away rushing to collect food."

"I know how to do it." Zhang Jie climbed onto the harvester, "That's right, this thing was conceived by Lord Hou, and it was also built by our factory. If you want it, please go to our Lord Hou's mansion. "

"Then I'll just go for a walk. This is a major event, a major event that will benefit all people."

When the official from the household department came to Gu's house, he looked at the porter outside the Gu's courtyard, "Dare to ask if Gu County is waiting."

"The head of the house said, no guests." The porter said stiffly.

"No... see you!?"

"Yes, no see!"

He said anxiously, "Then please inform me that this matter is related to the harvesting of grain for tens of miles around Chang'an. Please help the county magistrate Gu. If it comes to the rainy season, the grain harvesting season may be missed."

The porter lazily walked into the courtyard.

After a while, the concierge came back again, "Mr. Gu said that he is very busy now."

"What is he busy with? Is there anything more busy than the autumn harvest!" The official of the household department was impatient, and said with a wave of his sleeves: "Forget it, I will talk to His Majesty."

"Go!" said the porter with a smile.
