Ba Shang, Li Zhen.
Li Chao's tool room.
Li Chao looked at his drawings, which were basically completed, and now he was making them.
Make a one-to-one model, and then compare it to the real part.
I sat in the room and took a fan and shook it for a while, and a few people came outside.
The old craftsman of the Li family.
Zheng carpenter, Ke carpenter, and another Wu blacksmith, all three of them are old craftsmen of the Li family.
Nowadays, everyone has a large group of disciples and grandchildren, and they take a lot of money for taking apprentices every month, and even their apprentices and apprentices, they can still take a little, so they live a very chic life.
Just make a pot of tea every day and walk around.
During the New Year's holidays, the disciples and grandchildren will also give gifts, no matter how much, this is a gift, and it is indispensable.
As soon as I heard that Li Chao was calling, I came over.
"The princess summoned me to wait, I don't know what's going on," Ke Baye asked with a smile.
"Please come and do me a favor, I have a drawing here, you can take a look."
"It seems to be some kind of mechanism."
"These bearings and gears also need to be made of iron."
"That's not cheap."
Li Chao asked, "Can things be made?"
"Of course, it's not that hard, it's better to build a carriage.
It's just that the cost may not be cheap, and iron is actually used. ” "Make one set of iron first, and then make one set of wood.
Can these wooden gears be strong and durable?"
"As long as you choose wood, of course it will be just as durable.
There are many kinds of wood, depending on the need to use different wood, as long as you choose the right one, that one is just as easy to use. ” "Xiangguo, what are you doing with this?"
"This one is for threshing and threshing."
Li Chaodao.
"Threshing and threshing Isn't it good to have a grain bucket, and it's so complicated to use" "That's too simple, it's time-consuming.
My threshing machine, when the time comes, directly step on it, the drum rotates, the rice is put up, the iron on the drum will take off the rice, quickly, saving time and effort. ” Li Chao felt very proud, this is a good thing.
"It's a big deal."
Unexpectedly, several old craftsmen felt that Li Chao's machine was useless.
Just kidding, it's useless "Even if you make gears out of wood, it takes days to make a threshing machine of this size.
Not to mention the wood money, just this labor money is not old and young.
You don't need iron, you have to use a very good wood, and it's not cheap.
It is expensive to make a threshing machine like this.
Ordinary people, where to use. ” "Yes, spending so much money is just to save some effort, how can the strength of the croppers be so valuable, who doesn't have two arms.
This has been going on for generations, and not everyone has come over like this.
Whoever beats rice, it's not like that, I haven't heard of it and have to get a machine to beat it. ” Li Chao's proud works were criticized by several old craftsmen for not worth a penny.
In a word, it's not cost-effective.
Li Chao felt that this machine saved time and effort, but the old craftsmen felt that the efforts of the farmers were not worth much, and this machine was too expensive.
This is a bit surprising to Li Chao.
Just when Li Chao was depressed, a sneer came from the side.
This laughter is a mocking laugh.
Li Chao immediately followed the prestige, it was Li Chengqian.
This little bunny cub didn't know when he ran over and watched the excitement on the side.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Chengqian's head was raised, and his nostrils were facing the sky.
"Strange Tricks" "What do you say, you say again" "It's ridiculous to say that he is a young man who is dignified and doesn't think about the country's economy and people's livelihood, but he hides in this small room and ponders his obscene skills, and actually becomes a carpenter."

The craftsman technique is regarded as a strange and obscene skill, which is also a Confucian point of view.
Cheng Qian's teacher, that's Li Gang.
The prince killer has already taught several princes badly, and now he is the young master of the prince, and he is responsible for teaching Cheng Qian. is an old man in his eighties, full of pedantic concepts, Li Shimin only respects his character, and usually asks Ma Zhou to help teach.
What kind of teacher teaches what kind of apprentice.
Li Chengqian is young, and he already has the idea of looking down on craftsmen and technology.
"Prince, you can't think like this, it's very dangerous" "What is a strange trick, do you know what is called productivity?"
The prince was asked and shook his head.
"Come here."
Li Chao beckoned to him.
Li Chengqian stood at the door, hesitating, refusing to step forward, he was worried that Li Chao would beat him.
Little rabbit, science is the primary productive force, do you understand, technology changes life. actually looked down on craftsmen and technology, and really wanted to beat him up.
Li Chao turned his head to the three old craftsmen and said, "You don't care about this cost issue for now, and build me a set of iron and wood first."
In fact, your vision is too narrow.
Even if this machine costs money, it will never be unworthy.
For example, ploughing cattle is expensive, but with ploughing cattle, is it easier to plow more?"
"Ordinary people may not be able to make a threshing machine, but what if I pay to build a threshing machine and rent it to the people when the rice is harvested?"
"It's not good if you can rent this machine for a small amount of rent."
Ke Baye was not convinced, "It's not too much rent, and it also costs money." ” "Then have you thought about it, harvesting rice is also a time to rush the farm, when the weather is good, don't harvest quickly, delayed, rain, rice in the field wet, germinated, moldy, isn't this a loss?"
"Besides, pay some money to rent a threshing machine, harvest the rice early, save time, and then go to the workshop to work, if you don't make money again, the money earned by the workshop will definitely be more than the rent paid."
From Li Chao's point of view, although manpower is not valuable in this era, on the other hand, manpower is scarce.
Most of the workshops are apprentices, young and girly, there is a shortage of people.
Li Chao is not short of money, the Li family is looking for craftsmen to build a batch of threshing machines, so at least, when the Li family is harvesting, this year's 3,000 acres of rice harvesting and threshing can save a lot of time, and there is no need to hire a lot of short-term workers like last year.
It's not a matter of hiring short-term workers, the key is that when it comes to the busy farming season, where can you hire short-term workers It's not that sentence, a threshing machine can be used as several strong men.
The Li family has a threshing machine, and there are long-term workers who can harvest, and there is no need to hire additional short-term workers, and there is no need to worry about not being able to hire people during the busy farming season.
In addition, when the threshing machine is used up at home, it can also be rented to nearby people.
The people save some time, finish the harvest in the field early, and go to the Li family workshop to work, and the Li family workshop does not have to stop production or reduce production.
Threshing machines, like ploughing cattle, farm tools, and water wheels, are all good things.
Ordinary people may not be able to afford it, but they can rent it, and they can enjoy the benefits of this kind of machine.
"With the old method, a handful of grass is beaten, a strong man can't beat two points a day, and he has to die of exhaustion.
And if you use this kind of machine, monogamy, plus two children to send he, just to beat the he, at least two acres a day.
Even if it is cut and beaten, a family of four or five people can harvest about an acre of land with this machine. ” After listening to Li Chao's explanation, several craftsmen also felt that there was some truth in this matter.
It's a bit like a waterwheel.
Ordinary people really can't afford to buy a big water wheel at home, but if you just use your shoulders to pick up how much you can pick in a day, and how much you can water, the most important thing is that you can't keep up with the slow water, which may make the crops die of drought.
Although the cost of the water wheel is high, the efficiency is incomparable.
Ordinary people can't afford it, so they pay for water with a large number of people, or a landlord's water wheel.
The strength of the croppers is worthless, but now they can't go to the workshop to work, there are so many workshops in Li Town, recruiting workers all year round, long-term temporary, all at any time.
Working for a day is a lot of money.
"First build a set of iron and wood, then try and improve, and then mass production.
We want to build a threshing machine workshop, specializing in the production of this threshing machine, engage in standard parts assembly line production, try to reduce the cost, so that more people can afford it. ” Assembly lines, standard parts, these are not rare things for the three old craftsmen, they have long been used to it.
"But even if the cost is reduced, it will still not be cheap."
"We have to be flexible, for example, we can get a mortgage on this machine, make a down payment of a part of the money, and then pay the rest in installments, plus a little interest, so that we sell the machine, the people buy the machine, and each takes what he needs, isn't it very good that we can also rent it, rent it by day, and even organize some free farmers to take the machine to help people beat rice, and be responsible for removing the material."
Originally, there were many places in Guanzhong where rice was grown, but now the Li family's rice is planted so well, which has led many people to start planting rice in places where conditions permit.
This threshing machine, Li Chao thinks that there is still a market.
Besides, if it is used well at that time, and then it is promoted to the Jianghuai River Basin and the Hetao, it will be a rice planting area.
The threshing machine is just because the Li family has more than 3,000 acres of rice this year, and it was made in order to solve the problem of difficult harvesting.

But Li Chao invented the Quyuan plough back then, and now he invents the threshing machine, not only for his own consideration.
Datang is short of people.
There is a shortage of manpower everywhere.
If we can invent more machines, we can free up more manpower and more productivity.
Especially for the landlords, better production tools are definitely the most popular for them, it is difficult to get a lot of slaves and tenants, and it is getting more and more difficult, but as long as there is money, they can have many tools without limit.
"Prince, you've been standing here and listening for a long time, have you understood something?"
Li Chao turned to ask Li Chengqian.
Technological innovation is inseparable from support, especially financial support, in addition to the financial support of innovative research, but also from the top.
If the emperor has always regarded technology as some strange skills, then who still supports technological innovation "This threshing machine can save manpower."
Li Chengqian said honestly.
"Well, save manpower, then you say, what is manpower" Li Chengqian shook his head, not knowing.
"People are the cornerstone of the country, and only when there are people can there be taxes, soldiers, and long-term peace and stability of the country.
Remember, people are the people."
