Chapter 194: The Last Threshing Machine


Speaking of Chang'an City, it is indeed very lively.

I heard that the Lantern Festival is coming in a few days, and there will be no curfew for the three days before and after.

People in the city can walk around as they please, so everyone is looking forward to this annual Lantern Festival.

Luo Yong heard people talking about this in Xipo Village, and he felt a little yearned for it.

He had never seen such a huge crowd of people since he came to this era.

The first two times he went to Chang'an City, although it felt much more lively than Lishi, it was nothing compared to the density of population in his impression of the 21st century.

The entire Chang'an City still gave people a very spacious impression.

I heard the news from Wu You that the emperor's cement road will soon be built to Linfen, Jinzhou.

When they reach Lishi County, Luo Yong will be able to take it this time next year.

I took the children at home to Chang'an City to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

There are also rumors among merchants that several batches of canned mutton have been shipped south from Chengzhou this year.

On the way from Tongguan to Chang'an City, some people even saw soldiers using "three-legged swallows" to transport canned mutton.

The "Three-Legged Yan" is the name that everyone gave to that new type of car, because it is similar to Yanerfei, both are used for riding, but it has one more wheel than Yanerfei.

Wheel, so everyone calls it "Three-legged Swallow", and some also call it "Three-legged Iron Swallow".

After listening to the descriptions of these people, Luo Yong could probably guess that the emperor must have tinkered with the tricycle, and to a large extent, he had replaced the wooden and bamboo structure with fine iron, both in terms of load-bearing capacity and riding ability.

In terms of speed, it is completely different from the original Yanerfei.

In the blink of an eye, the first month has passed, and after entering the second month of the lunar calendar, the local weather in Lishi County gradually begins to get warmer.

Xu Erlang told Luo Yong that it was time to send out the last batch of threshing machines.

It is also easier to hire porters at this time.

After delivering the threshing machines, they can still catch up with this year's spring plowing when they return.

On the sixth day of February in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, a long team transporting threshing machines set off from Xipo Village.

Most of the villages that have not yet received threshing machines are concentrated on the east side of Hedong Road.

There is the Taihang Mountains over there, and there are many large and small villages in the mountains.

The Taihang Mountains cover the entire east side of Hedong Road from south to north, so after their team arrived in Fenzhou, they had to divide into two groups in Xicheng, one going north and the other going south.

Luo Yong led the donkey and sent them all the way out.

When he saw the threshing machines loaded on the carts, and thought of the high mountains and far away rivers along the way, he couldn't help but want to pay tribute to his disciples and The porters expressed their gratitude for their hard work.

"Sanlang doesn't say it's hard, how can we dare to say it's hard?"

A man in shabby clothes said loudly.

Their village was also allocated a threshing machine.

With that threshing machine, I didn’t know how much time and effort was saved during last year’s autumn harvest.

I was able to recover the grain from the field and dry it in the sun while the weather was fine.

Having a stable income is the greatest blessing for farmers.

Now I'm working with Luo Sanlang as a porter to make money, how can I dare to take on the hard work?

"Don't worry, Sanlang.

We will send these threshing machines to various villages as a good worker.

There will be no problem."

Someone in the team said.

"It doesn't matter if the threshing machine is on a business trip.

Just come back well."

Luo Yong was really worried that these rough guys would risk their lives to protect these threshing machines when they encountered any danger.

"Master, don't worry, we will come back safely."

Xu Erlang cupped his hands to Luo Yong.

"Go early and come back early."

Luo Yong said solemnly.

It didn't snow that day, and the sun didn't rise either.

The sky was overcast and there was a cool breeze blowing.

Luo Yong stood on the roadside and watched those people walking further and further away, always worrying about their safety.

In this era, every parting seems particularly sad.

If you have not experienced such a parting, you cannot truly appreciate the weight of the four words "parting between life and death."

It is probably because of this that the relationship between people at this time Friendship is more sincere.

The team transporting threshing machines walked along the cement road from Xipo Village to Lishi County.

This section of the road is always easier to walk.

Since last autumn, Governor Hao has been promoting the trolley irrigation system in Shizhou.

Luo Yong's disciples have also set up cement workshops in many places.

Many villages have taken this opportunity to build cement roads.

Their team has I also discovered along the way that as I walked, I would often encounter a cement road.

Once on the cement road, it would be much easier.

After leaving the jurisdiction of Lishi County, cement roads are rare.

Once you enter the Luliang Mountains, it becomes particularly difficult to move forward.

There is still ice in some places.

They pushed the wooden cart up the hill, sliding three times at a time.

Many of the people pulling the cart in front were lying on the ground on their hands and knees, and the people behind were gritting their teeth to support themselves. .

The snow has begun to melt in some places, and the snow and cement have made the road muddy.

The porters stepped on the muddy road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Their feet were so cold that they had no time to pay attention.

They just wanted to get out of this section of the road quickly.

If By accident, the car got stuck in the mud, and it took a lot of effort to get the car out.

"You are coming from Lishi County."

On this day, everyone was busy on their way, and several villagers ran down from a hillside not far away.

"Exactly, we are here to help Luo Sanlang deliver the threshing machine, but your village has not received the threshing machine yet."

A disciple of Luo Yong in the team stopped and asked the villagers.

This situation is also very common.

Some villages are in remote locations and failed to receive the news in time.

The surrounding villages have already received threshing machines, but they have not yet received them.

"People in our village have been assigned threshing machines."

The leading villager smiled, walked over in a few steps, and helped a porter in the team push the wooden cart: "Our village is on the hillside over there.

I just saw you guys pushing carts, so I guessed that they were going to deliver the threshing machines.

Come here and help."

"Hey, that's right, a few more people from Xipo Village are coming down."

Someone yelled a few more times toward the hillside.

I saw a small, inconspicuous village located on a mountainside not far away.

Many villagers had come out of their homes at this time, standing at the entrance of the village and looking towards them.

I heard that their group was indeed Coming from Xipo Village, some villagers soon came down the slope.

Xu Erlang and others came over to take a look and saw that these people indeed seemed to be villagers and not criminals, so they thanked them and let them help the porters in the team push the carts.

These porters were already feeling quite tired after walking all the way.

Suddenly someone came over to help them.

It was like a sudden rain after a long drought.

Not only did they feel relaxed physically, but they also felt very relieved in their hearts.

They had heard that Luo Sanlang wanted to recruit a group of porters to deliver the threshing machines, so they knew that this journey would not be easy.

However, they still went to sign up without hesitation.

Xu Erlang and others had just released the news, so that was it.

In two or three days, all the porters were in place.

Now that they are on this arduous and tiring journey, they can get help from these villagers who were also assigned to threshing machines like them in the past.

They feel that their decision to sign up to be porters was not wrong at all.

If they didn't come, That's what you should be ashamed of.

"You are coming from Xipo Village."

The team walked forward for half a day, and met another small village on the roadside.

Several villagers came out to ask with hesitation.

"Yes, they are from Xipo Village.

Have you seen Xu Erlang in front?

Didn't we see him when we went to Xipo Village to get the threshing machine?"

The villagers from the previous village stood up and spoke at this time. .

"Why are you here?"

Several villagers here were surprised.

"We were on the slope this morning.

We watched them coming from a distance, so we went down the slope to help them."

The villagers said happily.

"It's already here, why don't you go back later?"

people from the village here asked.

"Why are you so anxious to go back?

After all, spring has not yet begun.

Let's send these people out of Luliang Mountain first."

The men said cheerfully.

The people in the village here discussed and decided to arrange some villagers to help.

The elderly, women and children should not join in the fun.

Just pick a few young and strong people who are in good health and strong to help.

After the two groups of people joined in, the journey became easier and faster.

The porters were all in a happy mood.

It was originally a hard job, but I didn't expect to meet so many people helping me when I went out.

This is not the end yet.

As the team marches, many people join in one after another.

Although not every village has people coming, the number of people who join the team is enough to make the process of transporting the threshing machine complete.

It became quite easy.

Some of these people brought their own dry food, and some mingled with the porters in Lishi County and ate with them.

In addition, Xu Erlang also brought some money and silk.

When the team passed some villages, he would often withdraw money.

Take out the silk and exchange some hot food with the local villagers.

At the same time, news spread like wildfire that a number of threshing machines had been shipped out from Xipo Village and were to be delivered to various villages.

The convoy delivering the threshing machines had not yet left the Luliang Mountains, but the news had already flown out.

Far.

Not long after, some people in some remote villages east of Hedong Road also received such news, so each village organized villagers to go to receive the threshing machine.

I heard that most of the villages on the west side of Hedong Road have been allocated threshing machines, and they thought they would definitely not be able to get one.

After all, Luo Sanlang did not clearly say that the entire Hedong Road would be divided.

There are so many villages in Hedong Road, so Luo Sanlang can really afford to share.

It stands to reason that as long as he can give each local village in Shizhou a threshing machine, that is already a great benevolence and righteousness.

That's a big deal.

I heard that the threshing machine is really easy to use.

Put a handful of wheat on it, and with a few swishes, all the grains on the ears of wheat will come off.

You only need to step on it a few times, and it doesn't take much effort.

The villagers here are very envious, but they can only be envious.

After all, the price of the threshing machine is still too high for them.

Few villages can afford that much money.

Even if they can afford it, , generally not willing to give up.

At this moment, I heard that Naluo Sanlang was going to deliver threshing machines again.

Many threshing machines had been transported out and were ready to come to their Taihang Mountain area.

Many villagers carried dry food on their backs and went out to get the threshing machines. gd1806102:
