When Tang Jian and his party arrived at Xipo Village, Luo Yong was leading a few people to set up a waterwheel by the ditch at the entrance of the village.
Because he really didn't want to go out to wash clothes every day and be watched, and he didn't want to waste so much energy on carrying water, so Luo Sanlang thought about it and finally came up with the water wheel.
He wanted to set up a barrel cart outside the village entrance, use the water flow to push the entire water cart to rotate, transport clean water to the small slope next to his house, then build a water tower on top of it, and pull a pipe from the water tower to Luo's house.
Yard, so that he can wash clothes in his own yard in the future.
In the Luo family's yard, even the laundry pool has been repaired.
A half-person-high pool was built against the courtyard wall.
He no longer has to squat to wash clothes.
The water tower is also more convenient.
Anyway, it is just the water used by his family.
The water tower does not need to be built particularly big.
It is enough to build a square reservoir with soil and cement on the small hill next to his house.
In order to avoid some villages If something happens to the children while they are playing there, the entire reservoir is only about two feet deep.
The actual height of the water reservoir in the future should only be about one foot.
There are wooden boards fastened to the water reservoir, leaving only a one-foot-square opening at the water outlet and water inlet.
In addition, they also made a small modification to the section of the ditch under the small earth hill.
The upstream was raised and the downstream was dug lower.
At the location where the water wheel was erected, a two-foot-high drop was formed in the ditch.
When the clear water flows there, it forms a small waterfall.
Because this is just a small ditch, if the water flow rate and volume were as before, it would be difficult to push a waterwheel.
Even now, Luo Yong and the others can only choose the lightest wood possible for the waterwheel.
The number of fixed water cylinders is very small, and some wooden boards must be added to collect water power.
Generally speaking, this is a very light and simple waterwheel.
It is mounted on the inside of the cement road and does not take up much space.
It was such a simple and lightweight waterwheel, but no one had ever seen it in this era.
After figuring out its operating principle, everyone was amazed.
When Tang Jian and his group came over, the villagers of Xipo Village and many people who came here to work, take classes, and wholesale had been gathering around the waterwheel for a long time.
There were also waterwheels in this era, but they were basically rollovers, which later generations called keel waterwheels.
The one Luo Yong made at this time was called a barrel mill.
From rollover carts to barrel mills, this was a cross-era progress. .
"How does this wooden tube draw water?
Why is it a little crooked?"
Some smart craftsmen can understand its operating principle just by looking at this waterwheel and thinking about it on their own, but there are also some who can't figure it out and need someone else to explain it to them. .
"I'll turn this waterwheel around, and you'll understand by looking at it."
At this time, the waterwheel happened to be installed, and Luo Yong stretched out his hand and turned the big wooden wheel twice.
Everyone saw that the big waterwheel was slowly turning under the push of Luo Sanlang.
The small wooden tubes that were fixed diagonally outside the waterwheel were filled with half a tube of clean water diagonally when they first came out of the water. , in this process of slowly climbing up, I have always been The mouth is facing upward.
When you climb over the highest point and start to go down, the openings of the wooden tubes will change to the downward direction, and the clear water in the wooden tubes will naturally pour out.
After the clear water is poured out In the position, there is a wooden trough, which is specially used for collecting water.
Everyone stared at the position of the wooden trough.
They saw a bamboo tube in front passing by, and a bamboo tube following behind.
Splashes of clear water were poured into the wooden trough one after another, and the other end of the wooden trough was connected to the earth slope.
That water tower.
At this time, Luo Yong no longer used his hands to turn the waterwheel.
Driven by the water flow, the waterwheel was still turning slowly, drawing water from the ditch below to the high slope little by little. .
Looking at the speed of drawing water, it shouldn't take long to fill up the small water tower, so Luo Yong said: "We have to open a drainage ditch at the water tower.

After it is full, the excess water can be discharged."
The water flows back into the ditch here.”
"The position of the wooden trough above is a bit out of alignment.
Let me adjust it later."
Heng Yu was also here at this time.
Hengyu was very happy to be able to participate in the production of this waterwheel.
Although he had heard that his master wanted to divert water to his yard because he didn't want to go to the ditch to wash clothes with the women and be laughed at, he still felt sad.
I feel that my teenage master is really unreliable.
At this time, looking at the craftsmen who came from Chang'an City, all of them looked at Luo Yong with admiration.
Old Hengyu couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe the master and the old man had already considered these things early in the morning.
It was because he was too stupid to understand the master's intention.
In the days that followed, Tang Jian and the others were very busy.
Because Tang Jian, the person personally designated by the emperor, was responsible for supervising the production and delivery of the threshing machine, Luo Yong was happy to become the shopkeeper.
Since clean water was successfully introduced into their yard, Luo Sanlang can finally wash clothes in his yard easily and happily, without having to worry about anyone watching.
The large waterwheel behind his yard kept running all day long, and the sound of clear water pouring out of the wooden tube could be heard day and night.
Sometimes some villagers were doing laundry and vegetables upstream of the ditch.
In order to prevent the sewage from being pumped to the water tower on Luosanjia Slope, they would use a wooden stick to block the water truck and remove it after the washing was completed.
Later, Luo Yong discovered that the water brought by the water tanker in one night was enough for their family, so he simply stopped the water tanker during the day and turned it on again in the evening.
The water pipe used to divert water from the water tower to the Luo family yard is a sheepskin water pipe sewn by Feng Cobbler and his son.
Feng Cobbler's work is meticulous.
In addition, the water pipe itself is not very long.
Even if it leaks slightly, it will not affect its use. .
It would be better to use eucommia gum to make water pipes.
Although eucommia gum is a hard glue, not a soft glue, and cannot be used to make wheel inner tubes and rubber gloves, there is still no problem in making water pipes, but Luo Yong was reluctant to part with it.
The Eucommia gum extracted from the Eucommia leaves recovered last year was not much in total, and now it has been used to some extent.
For the remaining bit, Luo Yong is not even willing to make leather boots now, and plans to use them all.
On top of the crafting of can bottles and ink bottles.
Because there are no soles, Cobbler Feng and his son have stopped making boots recently.
They spend all day processing leather in preparation for this autumn and winter bootmaking work.
"None of them are here."
On this morning, Qiao Junlin went to Luo's yard to wash a bunch of dirty clothes.
He didn't want to be watched by people while washing clothes by the ditch.
After Tianluo successfully diverted water a few days ago, he told him that he could wash any dirty clothes at their place, and then Qiao Junlin came.
"They're all over there in the sheep shed."
Luo Yong said.
Siniang, a business fanatic, has been spending the whole day in the sheep shed watching people doing business.
From time to time, she can also talk to Luo Yong's disciples about business.
Many of them learned from Luo Yong and now sell them, which actually saves Luo Yong.
Many things happened.
Now the sheep shed is also lively.
Si Niang is taking six men, seven mothers and five pairs of them to go out to play, so Luo Yong is not too worried.
"I'm going to make pancakes, do you want to eat them?"
Luo Yong was holding a bowl of maltose water and mixing it into the flour.
"At this time, you are not afraid of getting fat."
At this time, what people pay attention to is a fairy style with long and straight bones.

Things like fatness as beauty have not become popular yet.
"Where can I get fat?
I'm growing taller."
It's rare that he has some leisure time these days.
Luo Yong wants to eat more and sleep more to replenish his body.
He is not afraid of getting fatter.
He can always lose weight in the future.
The most important thing is his height.
Qiao Junlin soaked the few clothes in his hand into the laundry pool, turned his head and looked at Luo Yong's small body, but said nothing.
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Luo Xiaoshan'er sensitively caught the flash of smile in the other person's eyes.
"What?"
Qiao Junlin asked him.
"Are you just laughing at me for being shorter than you?"
The little boy pretended to be like him.
Luo Yong sat on the pony and swayed his legs while mixing the batter: "I'm telling you, there is such a thing as growing taller."
It all varies from person to person, some people grow up early, some people grow up late, my mother-in-law is not a short person."
Qiao Junlin just stood there washing clothes and listening to his chatter, all he said was some truth about coming from behind.
Qiao Junlin wanted to say that with his small body, even if he was taller than himself, it would mean nothing.
But he thought about it and endured it.
If he said this, this guy would bake the cakes in a while and not eat them separately.
He was really capable of doing this kind of thing.
Qiao Junlin was actually hungry at this time.
After getting up this morning, he first practiced martial arts, then had breakfast, and then went to practice calligraphy.
Not long after Luo Yong got up, he had already done a lot of things.
It was also the time when he was growing healthy.
On weekdays, in the Xu family guest house, his husband would spend all day studying arithmetic and forgetting to eat and sleep.
He would only eat casually while he and the other students took care of their own food.
Qiao Junlin didn't have much money on him.
Eating is also relatively simple.
After a while, Luo Yong baked two sweet cakes and took them out.
Sure enough, he gave one to Qiao Junlin, which was just a piece of sugar and two handfuls of flour.
The baked cakes tasted good.
After a while, Tamura came over to talk to Luo Yong.
Luo Yong conveniently pulled off a piece of the cake in his hand and handed it to him.
Qiao Junlin looked at it and wanted to give in.
Luo Yong waved his hand and asked him to eat his. .
A few people were sitting in the yard eating cakes and talking.
Tamura Masa came back to see Luo Yong about the waterwheel.
The farmland in their Xipo Village is mainly on sloping land.
They were poor in the past and had never seen a keel waterwheel, let alone a barrel wheel.
Now that every household has some savings, Tamura Masaru is thinking about asking everyone to contribute a little, drive a few water trucks, buy some cement, and renovate the village's irrigation system.
Luo Yong naturally wanted to support such a thing, so he told Masaru Tamura that the craftsmen must still pay their due wages.
As for the cement, just go to his cement workshop to pick up a few loads and use it without asking for any money.
Not money.

In the end, Tamura Masa said: "No way, this is not three or five dans of cement, it will take a lot.
I thought, everyone is capable now, so if you want to do it, just make it more orderly and build a few canals.
It’s a blessing to future generations.”
Luo Yong nodded, and he understood clearly that the village chief wanted to carry out a big project.
The author has something to say: Let me show you the pictures of overturned cars and bobbin trucks.
