To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao's previous picture was rough, and it was all about learning and selling things from the Mojing. He didn't learn anything at all. Huang Laojiang pointed to several places and asked him.

"I know you are a family heirloom." Old Carpenter Huang said angrily: "You are also a beetle! Tell the truth, who gave you this blueprint! Ask the person who drew the blueprint to come over!"

You Miao cried bitterly: "Teacher, I really drew it myself! Wait a minute, I'll get a book to read with you."

You Miao went up for a run, and came down with a stack of books. Old Craftsman Huang flipped through the books by the river, pondered for a while, then nodded, and said, "The teacher will tell you now, and you should remember clearly." Yes, just once."

You Miao sat next to Old Craftsman Huang, and Old Craftsman Huang dissected the anchor hook, iron chain, eagle nail, waterwheel force, etc. in turn. You Miao gradually understood, and couldn't help laughing. .Old Carpenter Huang looked at him again and said, "If you smile, you know how to laugh."

You Miao said with a smile: "I understand, so I laughed, otherwise how can I say that Kassapa smiled knowingly when the Buddha picked up flowers."

"Yeah." Huang Laojiang said: "That's the reason, you still have some things to do, I think you two can't do it."

You Miao was holding the stack of sheepskins, on which was a dismantling diagram of the entire windmill. There were a total of 180 water buckets, the wooden frame was divided into five parts, and two chains, [-] feet long, were divided into three parts. Six hundred knots.There is also a big iron hook hooked to the water bucket, and there is a runner in the center that is disassembled into eight small parts.There are also rotating shafts, bearings, balls, four-way arms, eight-way arms and other component structures. The most complicated thing is the huge turbine soaked in the river in the middle. This turbine is vertically attached to the cliff and fixed on the water surface. Soaking in the river water, it turns with the rush of the river, driving the [-]-foot hinge, making the water bucket rise to the top of the cliff one by one, and pouring water into the canal.

When the flood comes, the rising river will lift the vertical turbine up, and the hinged waterwheel will be mostly submerged in water, so the speed will slow down. There is a crank in the center, which can adjust the speed at any time.

Li Zhifeng said: "Do you want to buy iron? I'll go."

Old Carpenter Huang said: "Both of you need to go, and you alone can't tell. You boy, you have to go to Yangzhou first to buy iron, and then send it to the two villages in the north and south, and forge iron according to the instructions in the picture. "

You Miao hummed, thinking that there are so many troublesome things, among other things, just buying iron, ordinary people can't buy much.Old craftsman Huang said again: "Take this wooden sign and go to Tang Hui from the Yangzhou Defense Department..."

You Miao immediately said: "I know him! The friendship is good, he is my brother."

Old Craftsman Huang glanced at You Miao again, and said happily: "It's just right, Tang Hui is also looking for my apprentice and grandson to make wooden carts. Since you know him, you can save the old man's favor, go."

You Miao hummed and wanted to go back to the villa, thinking that she would save some money by the way, and she only had 50 taels of silver left, so she had to sell something, and she was thinking about how much these craftsmen’s wages cost, when she suddenly thought of something and said: " Teacher, I also have to pay you some wages..."

Old Carpenter Huang waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, and said, "On the day when the work is finished, just treat the teacher to a cup of tea."

"How embarrassing..." You Miao laughed hurriedly.

Old Carpenter Huang looked at Jiang Shui, gave a rare smile, and said, "I'm old, and I don't know when I'll have to see King Yama. I'm not short of money. If I'm an old bone, I'll do some work, and I'll treat it as fun."

You Miao knew the old man's temper, so he didn't force it, and took Li Zhifeng up along the river, thinking about his own money.

Li Zhifeng saw that his expression was not very good, so he said: "The money is not enough, is it?"

You Miao hummed, and said, "Let's take those boxes of fox furs to Yangzhou and sell them first. It's a pity they didn't sell them a year ago, otherwise we can sell them at a good price."

Li Zhifeng walked up the mountain with You Miao on his back, and said, "Are there any escorts in the south of the Yangtze River? I'll go and rob the escorts."

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't talk nonsense."

Li Zhifeng made a gesture of masking his face and said, "If you cover your face, Gu Baobao won't recognize me."

You Miao said: "Don't, it's not that I'm really short of money. My mother's tea set can sell for 200 taels of silver, but I just don't want to sell it. I really can't help it, so I took the tea set to the pawnshop and pawned it. If I have money, I can redeem it later." Just come back."

Li Zhifeng nodded, and You Miao was thinking wildly. For a while, she wanted to borrow money from her uncle Qiao Jue, and for a while, she wanted to pawn the things in the Shen Garden. When she returned to the villa, she took out the abacus first, and made a calculation to pay the craftsmen. Well, this job will take at least one month, and the wages alone will cost 360 taels of silver.

I also need to buy iron, which costs 120 jin of iron including gross consumption, and costs 30 taels of silver, and the wages of blacksmiths are 150 taels, a total of [-] taels.

Two hundred moso bamboos for scaffolding, 20 taels of silver.

More than 500 taels of silver...You Miao counted and counted, holding the 50 taels of silver in her hand, she wanted to cry without tears.After thinking for a while, he rummaged through the box and cabinet, and also took out the money bag that You Hango gave him before he left. It was a drop in the bucket, and he could make up as much as he could. He turned over the money bag and turned it down——

——With a clatter, more than a dozen golden golden scorpions were spilled!

You Miao was startled immediately, and Li Zhifeng said, "Gold?"

You Miao said: "What's going on? Brother Cheap is still so generous?"

This time it was terrible, You Miao asked Li Zhifeng to close the door, took a metal ruler, and carefully counted the gold on the table, and a few fell out of the cabinet, Li Zhifeng bent down to pick them up, and put them on the table.

One five, ten... fifteen... eighteen.

You Miao was about to turn to get the scale for the eighteen pieces of gold, but Li Zhifeng had put a small scale weighing broken silver on the table, and You Miao weighed them one by one, and each gold piece was two taels, a total of 36 gleaming gold taels.

"It's intentional." Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao hummed, and rubbed her fingers over the gold locks. Seeing that they were all written with words of long life, she probably guessed the origin of the gold—it must be that after You Hange was born, You Dechuan privately Something sent to him.You Han Ge this year, exactly eighteen.

You Miao's nose was a little sore, and he couldn't spend the gold given by Xindao.

You Miao is a person who always pays attention to friendship. If others treat him well, he will give him ten points in return. You Hange gave him all his savings over the years, but You Miao didn't know what to do for a while. up.

You Miao breathed out wearily, and asked, "How much is one tael of gold in silver now?"

Li Zhifeng said: "Go and ask, I don't know."

After careful consideration, You Miao still kept the gold, left home with Li Zhifeng, and went to Yangzhou City.
