Chapter 126(2/3)
It's just that this horse is a bit tiring to ride.
There are no stirrups.
Speaking of these stirrups, they are really awesome.
The structure of the stirrup is extremely simple, but the invention of the stirrup has a very high reputation in history.
Many historians believe that the greatness of the stirrup can be compared with that of the wheel.
Speaking of which, the two heavy cavalry booms in ancient times were both caused by the appearance of stirrups.
Once it was ancient times in China, and once it was the West.
It's all because of the stirrups.
It was precisely because of the emergence of stirrups that the cavalry became the protagonist on the battlefield.
Without stirrups, riding a horse is really a chore, especially when the horse is galloping or jumping. The rider sits on the saddle with his feet dangling in the air and can only use his legs to clamp the horse's body.
Lu Yuan, with his perfect physique, would still feel a little tired if he galloped all the way from the Imperial City to Qingqiu Village.
Not to mention others.
For older people like Lin Fusheng and Director Xu, riding horses is really a chore.
This is why Director Xu immediately changed his bicycle after getting his first bicycle.
The bike is so comfortable.
A historian once commented on the stirrup. There are very few inventions as simple as the stirrup, but they have had a huge catalytic impact in history.
The emergence of stirrups allows women, children and even children to quickly master the essentials of riding a horse.
Long-distance marches will also be easier and more manageable.
Why doesn't Lu Yuan make such a powerful thing?
Nonsense, of course you have to keep something on hand.
Keep something that you can come up with on the spot when something happens.
This cat still has a hand in teaching the tiger.
Lu Yuan definitely wants to stay too.
Besides, the threshing machines, greenhouses, and underground fire pits had already made Lu Yuan famous before this.
Now Lu Yuan's life is very comfortable, and there is no need to do anything at this time.
Even if something is invented now, it will just be the icing on the cake.
So, it's not needed at the moment.
After Lu Yuan led the horse out of the courtyard, he went to the noodle shop and ordered himself a bowl of meat noodles.
I told the boss again to send Wang Yulan a bowl.
After Lu Yuan finished eating, he went to the small restaurant outside the threshing machine factory to see what it was like.
I never had time to watch it before.
After going there, it was just as Lu Yuan expected. After all, Liu Shoucai built it with the design drawings given by Lu Yuan.
There is a two-story building with a yard at the back, a cellar and a well.
There are also several small rooms in the yard. When the time comes, the second uncle and his son will just live in this small room.
If I make money in the future, I will buy a house in the city.
Now the threshing machine factory has been completely built. Some equipment and other equipment will be shipped in in the past few days, and the threshing machine factory will start working soon.
And here on the street opposite the threshing machine factory, just around the corner from the restaurant, rows of houses have been built long ago.
In addition to this restaurant, there are various other things.
However, the location of Lu Yuan's restaurant is one of the best, diagonally opposite the factory gate.
As long as Su Liyan's second uncle's skills are not too bad, he can definitely make money.
Not to mention the craftsmanship of this second uncle, Lu Yuan has tasted it and it is really good.
After looking at the house, Lu Yuan rode his horse to the Agriculture Bureau.
Along the way, Lu Yuan felt that there were so many bicycles now!
Speaking of which, bicycles were developed after the threshing machine. Why are bicycles so popular on the streets now that the threshing machine factory has just been completed?
The reason is that bicycles are simply too awesome in the eyes of the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Industry stopped several less important workshops on the spot and turned them directly into bicycle workshops.
And the bicycle was just as expected by the Ministry of Industry.
As soon as this bicycle was sold in a state-owned store or a department store, it was sold out almost instantly.
If you want to buy a bicycle, you now have to queue up and wait to grab it.
There's no way around it, bicycles are really needed by every household.
This thing is much better than a horse in everyone's eyes.
There is no need to feed it, and there is no need to tidy it up every day.
If it's dirty or something, just wipe it clean with a basin of water.
Anyway, people in the imperial city basically don’t go to the countryside or anything like that, they stay in the city.
Having said that, it’s not true that bicycles can’t go to the countryside.
It’s just raining and melting snow that makes riding difficult.
At other times, if you have to go, you can go.
It's just a little difficult to ride and a little bumpy, but other things are fine.
And this situation is only for the imperial city.
Bicycles are sold here in the Imperial City alone, but what about other places?
It can be said that this is really a massive construction project now.
In the wasteland surrounding the imperial city, bicycle factories are being built like crazy.
From now on, this bicycle factory will probably need tens of thousands of people.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Lu Yuan now. Lu Yuan is very leisurely every day now.
I just take the time to go to my greenhouse, record the temperature, humidity, etc. every day, and then come back.
Well...I can't say it has nothing to do with it.
The forging bureau specially gave Lu Yuanxian some sort of Advanced Creation Award because of this bicycle.
Originally, Lu Yuan thought that the bicycle could only reward him 300 yuan, but in the end, it rewarded Lu Yuan 700 yuan.
This really pissed off the people in the courtyard.
In addition, the Bureau of Agriculture awarded Lu Yuan 1,000 yuan.
Look, Master Qian is Master Qian.
Hu Bu, he is Hu Bu.
Lu Yuan came up with such a great invention at the Ministry of Industry. Director Xu racked his brains and made up some kind of award for Lu Yuan, and finally gave him 700 yuan.
The Bureau of Agriculture will directly give you one thousand.
However, the people in the courtyard did not know this thousand yuan.
Anyway, Lu Yuan is really rich now.
As soon as Liu Shoucai made money, he immediately came to share the accounts with Lu Yuan.
When he first traveled through time, didn't Lu Yuan sell the furniture in the mansion, as well as antiques and other ornaments?
It sold for more than 9,000 yuan at that time.
During these days, Lu Yuan was eating and building like crazy, building a house for his father-in-law's family, doing this and that.
I was settling accounts a few days ago.
Good guy, not counting the 300,000 silver dollars left by the third uncle, the amount of money Lu Yuan had in his hands was just over 10,000 yuan.
This means that during this period, Lu Yuan spent wildly and finally made a thousand yuan.
If you say you can’t spend all the money, who can you ask to reason with?
So infuriating!
He rode a horse and strolled to his experimental greenhouse.
As soon as Lu Yuan got off his horse, he saw Lin Fusheng coming out of a nearby greenhouse and greeting him cheerfully.
These days, Lin Fusheng wants to move his desk into a greenhouse.
