Chapter 242 It’s true, it’s truer than real gold!
Yunfu gathered all the carpenters and blacksmiths from the eighth and ninth districts together.
Let’s start with a simple farm tool - the curved plow.
Currently, the five countries also have plows for cultivating land, but the straight-beam plows are not very convenient to operate.
Yunfu taught them how to make a curved plow.
"First, the straight, long shaft of the straight-beam plow was replaced with a curved, short shaft. Next, a freely rotating plow disc was installed at the shaft head."
Although this small change can make the plow frame smaller and lighter, it can also turn and turn flexibly, saving manpower and animal power during operation.
"In addition, the plowboard installed here not only breaks up the soil, loosens it, and forms ridges, but also pushes the upturned soil piles aside, greatly reducing the resistance of the plow and increasing the speed of plowing."
The craftsmen listened to her explanation and compared it with the drawings, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The princess is truly extremely intelligent. She can actually come up with such a great idea."
"I feel that the princess is different from the other young ladies from aristocratic families. Those young ladies only think about beautiful clothes and jewelry all day long, but our princess is concerned about whether the people are tired from farming. She taught us how to make charcoal and bricks."
…
Yun Fu was too embarrassed to shamelessly claim these inventions as her own.
"These things are not my own ideas. I just happened to see them in a book."
Mu Yong stroked his beard, he was really curious about this book.
"I wonder what book the princess is reading?"
Other people don’t understand these things, but Mu Yong had been an official and had once reached the height of being a marquis and a prime minister. He knew very well that even the top craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry of the Five Kingdoms might not be able to think of these things.
Yun Fu wanted to say that she had forgotten the title of the book, but she felt that it was a bit unreasonable. She remembered the contents of the book so clearly that she could draw the drawings exactly as they were, but she just couldn't remember the title. Who would believe her if she said that?
"The name of that book is 'Encyclopedia'. Yes! That's the name! It's a very thick book that covers a lot of things. Most of what I learned before came from this book."
Mu Yong asked where the book was.
Yun Fu could only tell him with great regret: "It's gone. The maid at home accidentally burned it in a fire."
“That’s such a shame!”
Fortunately, Mu Yong was attracted by the drawing of the waterwheel and stopped asking questions.
Otherwise, Yun Fu really didn’t know what to say next.
But Yunfu didn't notice that Qi Hanzhou's gaze darkened.
This little girl has so many secrets.
The closer the relationship between the two became, the more Qi Hanzhou could understand her expressions.
He knew she was lying.
As for why, Qi Hanzhou couldn't figure it out.
Maybe, I didn't do well enough to make her trust me enough.
There are still some secrets that need to be kept from him.
But Qi Hanzhou believed that one day, he would use his sincerity to make her willingly open her heart to him.
Compared to the curved plow.
A waterwheel is a relatively large project.
It is actually very simple to stay away from the waterwheel.
It is usually supported by an axle and then extends outwards in a reflective manner like a wheel, so it is called a waterwheel.
There is a scraper and water bucket at the top of each spoke, which is used to scrape and collect water.
When the river flows, the water pushes the waterwheel, filling the bucket with water and rising to the top.
Afterwards, the water bucket tilts naturally, pouring water into the trough, and then flows smoothly into the farmland along the bamboo track.
Under the guidance of Yun Fu, a group of craftsmen spent three full days to erect this big thing.
Everyone was very curious about the waterwheel.
When it was first run, the riverside was crowded with people watching the fun.
Everyone is curious about this thing. Is it really that magical?
When the water flow drove the waterwheel to move slowly, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"It's spinning! It's really spinning!"
"You really don't need any human help. This thing just spins on its own."
"Look, the water is flowing into the bamboo tube and flowing toward the farmland."
"From now on, we won't have to run around fetching water from the fields anymore."
…
A large waterwheel can irrigate hundreds of acres of farmland, and a slightly smaller waterwheel can irrigate nearly a hundred acres of farmland.
Yunfu spent so much effort to build this big waterwheel, of course it was not just for growing potatoes on a few acres of land.
In her space, there are other seeds besides potatoes.
For example, high-yield rice, corn and various beans.
And seeds of various vegetables, fruits and melons.
The reason why she only allowed everyone to grow potatoes before was because there was a shortage of manpower, and potatoes were easier to grow, had a shorter maturity cycle, and could solve the problem of food and clothing in a short time.
But we can't let these people eat potatoes for three meals a day.
The seeds are in the space, so it is easy to take them out.
The difficulty lies in how she can make up a story to make the appearance of these seeds more reasonable.
Yun Fu thought of the leader of the Wild Dog Gang who had secretly hidden supplies.
So, I decided to direct and act in a play myself.
She went to the woods, first found a secluded cave, put bags of seeds in it, then took people to hunt in the woods and inadvertently passed by that area.
Those seeds, whether they were discovered by her or by other people in the same group.
In short, as long as it can appear in everyone's field of vision reasonably, it's fine.
This plan was good, but just as Yun Fu was about to implement it, she encountered a big problem.
That's how to do it, find a reason to get rid of Qi Hanzhou, leave for a while, and get this done.
"Qi Hanzhou, I've been idle these days, so I want to go to the forest to pick some herbs."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"No, that's not necessary." Yun Fu waved her hand hurriedly. "I'll ride Xiaobai there. It'll be quick both ways. You stay in Nanhuo Village and take care of the little ones. I think your boxing skills are quite impressive. You can use your free time to teach them."
"Xiao Fu'er, do you really think my boxing skills are amazing?" What Qi Hanzhou heard was his little girl praising him.
Although someone had misunderstood the main point, Yun Fu still nodded sincerely: "Yes, it's true, it's truer than real gold!"
"Okay, then I'll teach Xiaoyu and the others how to practice boxing."
Qi Hanzhou really benefited from Yun Fu's praise. He felt happier than ever before when he won a battle and received a reward.
"Yeah, well, I'll go collect herbs then."
Yun Fu curled up her pink lips and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She finally figured out that sometimes someone was like a big dog and was actually very easy to coax.
