One hundred and eighty-six, Shinong industry and commerce + pulley block lifting
Guan Er was originally unknown, and he was the second child in his family, also known as Guan Zhong. He was called Guan Er at home, and he was also called "Guan Blacksmith" by his neighbors.
This year, he is one of the craftsmen hired by the Prince Xiao’s Mansion. He has been working in the Prince’s Mansion for more than a month every day.
The royal mansion has always been not strict, but unlike the past, he got up early today, and didn't even care about breakfast. He put on a straw raincoat and walked out early to the palace.
The royal mansion is worthy of being the royal mansion and the royal courtyard. The monthly money given by the colleagues also envied me. They stood upright at home, and relatives and friends would say good things from time to time. This was nothing in the past.
From childhood to adulthood, every year, I heard from scholars and officials often say "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce". Scholars are the first, farmers are the second, workers are the cheap, and merchants value profit over reputation, so they are often looked down upon before working in the royal palace.
His brothers who farmed often looked down on him. They often gathered together and asked him to sit down at the bottom of their heads. After drinking, they advised him that craftsmen were a lowly person and should not last long. It would be better to abandon everyone and farm steadily. Don’t lose your identity for a few bad money, so as not to insult your ancestors.
Ancestor, although he had never seen his ancestors, the word "ancestor" has always occupied a sharp and important position in his heart. When his father mentioned his ancestors, he had no power to resist, as if the biggest sin in this world was the five words "Sorry for the ancestors".
Who was his ancestor? Apart from the dry words on the genealogy, he had no impression, and it was even more unimaginable than the woman who was lying beside him every day.
After all, my brothers persuaded him that he was a family. If he didn't say anything, he would just take it for his own good. He could tolerate it. But sometimes the children next door would call him "stinky" from behind or throw stones into his house. He would not dare to speak out.
Jing Chaoxiang couldn't bear to see the craftsman and businessman. When his father asked him to succeed him, he had already solemnly said that he was prepared in his heart, but he was not prepared enough...
His wife was angry that he was cowardly and said that he did not dare to fight back. He was so angry that he ran back to his parents' home, but he knew that no one would make the decision for him. Although he was angry, he could only bear it.
He knew since he was a child what "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce" were and what the order of hierarchy was. If he showed his pleasure for a while, no one would talk to him in the end, so did the neighbors and judges, because he was a worker, and when he was under the farmer, he was naturally a dwarf.
The judge thinks so, and so do the people in the capital. If he complains, he will be shorter first, and it would be strange if he can win.
This is like everyone thinks that merchants should avoid disasters, and they are used to it, but no one has ever thought that the merchants’ money is not earned by their own abilities? What is terrible is that they lose the lawsuit, but what is terrible is that everyone is watching coldly.
In this way, although his family is better than ordinary families, he has lived a cowardly life for half his life.
Until his friend Zhao Si asked him for work, he recommended him to work in the royal palace.
At the beginning, he was a little unbelievable. No noble man would want someone like them, with a low status and no fame.
But I never thought that the royal mansion not only wanted, but also paid a lot of money, and the monthly money he gave was almost as good as his previous six months of income!
I heard that he was working in the royal palace, and the child did not dare to scold him behind his back, and no one dared to throw things at home. Even if the wife went out to buy groceries, someone would give her more.
No one looked down on him when a few brothers were eating together, and advised him to abandon his work and even let him sit in the first place. He no longer advised him to go back to farm. He walked straight, without having to speak humbly, without having to be ashamed of his neighbors, and from time to time someone would come to his door to give him something to please him.
Even if you meet a narrow alley, others will ask for help and make it difficult for him to walk.
Now it was his turn to raise his chin and walk to the two of them. These days, the wife in the family was so happy that she walked around from time to time to show off her workplace.
What Guan Er cares most was that the prince Li Xingzhou, who was scolded by everyone in the capital, not only looked down on them, such as craftsmen with low status, but also treated them with courtesy and did not put on airs when they were used. He also gave them a lot of money during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, and those were not counted as wages.
In this world, no one treats him so well except his wife. Therefore, Guan Er is grateful and wants to cry. He doesn’t know how many lifetimes he has cultivated to meet the prince. He always thinks that no matter what others say, he will always help the prince to do his job, as long as the prince doesn’t dislike him.
.....
The reason why I went so early today is because there was a big event in the royal palace and the prince’s favored concubine made a magical thing that was said to be able to weigh thousands of pounds.
As a blacksmith in the royal palace, he had seen the magic of the prince's favored concubine and beautiful girl. When he built the foundation in front of the door last time, Lao Cucku and several other craftsmen could tell how deep they were, she could tell how many cars of sand and gravel she needed. In the end, it was almost no problem, which shocked everyone.
After supervising the foundation of the water wheel, her performance was also admirable. She not only knew the techniques of planning, but also understood the principles that only experienced craftsmen could understand. For example, the asphalt was easily expanded and cracked when exposed to the sun, and it was better to lay the asphalt in the morning, and it was not easy to crack in the future. If she wanted the asphalt to be solidified for a long time, she needed to add stone to stir, etc.
Even he and Lao Cuckoo couldn't believe that she knew so much. After all, she was just a 14 or 15-year-old child. How could she know so many things? Could she be born to know?
But even so, with all kinds of magical legends, he still doesn't believe that the two of them can make a thousand pounds. After all, this is too exaggerated, like a saying of a strange power and a mess of gods, which is really unreliable.
The old Cuckoo and the others were even more so. They were bricklayers and the oldest. They wanted to set up scaffolding to put down the water wheel. This was the work they had been doing for decades. Practice made perfect. They were all proud of it and looked at their own abilities.
But at this time, the prince’s concubine jumped out and said that she didn’t need trouble. She had her own way, and the two of them could lift a huge amount of weight!
Of course, how many people don’t believe it. If there is a way, they would have been doing this for decades?
In other words, if there is really a way, wouldn’t it be said that Lao Cuckoo and the others are incompetent and stupid, and have used such a stupid method for decades?
They will not give in anyway.
So today, the craftsmen led by Lao Cucku were waiting to watch jokes, and Guan Er was also watching the fun. He was a blacksmith, so it was naturally not his business, he was watching the fun.
There were already many people surrounded by the river. The prince's favored concubine was directing everyone to build a strange platform and press the back end with stones. He could see that several workers were slanderous and did not want to do anything, so the progress of their work has been very slow. They probably felt that the girls were just doing something wrong, but they wanted to work hard.
The girl frowned. He was not the prince, but he had no choice but to do with this situation.
At this moment, in a noisy whisper, someone suddenly shouted, "The prince is here!"
Then someone shouted one after another. Guan Er was excited and wanted to squeeze over and take a look, but when he wanted to move forward, he was pushed back and unknowingly he had already arrived by the river. He was a blacksmith, strong in body, and with his physical advantage, he squeezed forward step by step.
That's really the prince!
There is also an old man in the robe next to him, with two girls behind him, one of whom is the prince's personal maid, the other is the prince's fiancée, the future hostess of the royal mansion, and the most talented woman in the capital. Everyone knows her identity in the royal mansion.
I was excited to see Prince Guan Er at such a close distance, and on the other hand, the workers worked hard when they saw Prince back, and soon they set up strange shelves.
Lao Cuckoo and several other craftsmen stood by and watched coldly, and he saw it clearly.
Lao Cuckoo was not even willing to move the stones that were pressing the racks at half-time.
Seeing the prince there, Guan Er couldn't help but come forward to help. When he left, he found that it was not only him, but also the servants, guards, craftsmen and even maids in the mansion who were watching came forward to help. He quickly brought the stones like a hill and pressed them to the back of the shelf.
He didn't know why, but he didn't think everyone knew. In short, the prince was there, and everyone couldn't help but come forward to help. This might be the prince's unique charm.
The shelf was erected, and the huge water wheel was pushed down on the river bank. Countless eyes were gathered on the girl. Thousands of pounds of things were completely different concepts.
Guan Er still didn't believe it. He saw the prince personally hang a gourd-like thing on the top of the shelf. The thing was very strange. It was made of iron and covered with cowhide. It was also surrounded by hard cowhide ropes, leaving oil and water.
An iron gourd falling in the air?
In the curious eyes of everyone, the prince pulled the cowhide rope tightly, then pulled down the other end of the iron lump, with an iron hook hanging on the upper end of the water wheel tied through the center of the fan blade with the rope.
Everyone had no idea what the prince wanted to do, so they saw that the prince began to look around, then called out a tall guard, and then he looked here and pointed at himself: "You come out to help too."
Guan Er was stunned: "The prince said to me?"
"It's you, come out to help." The prince nodded.
Guan Er was a little nervous: "But the prince, the villain is a blacksmith..."
The prince shook his head: "What you do is not important, just have the strength, come here."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Guan Er had to get out of the crowd and walk to the front to stand with the guard.
The prince handed the end of the cowhide rope to their hands: "pull hard."
Everyone was stunned. The other section of the cowhide rope could have a water wheel weighing thousands of pounds!
Guan Er was stunned. How could this be so irritating...
He looked at the guard guard who was also chosen by the prince, and saw Lao Cuckoo looking at him with a sarcastic look on the other side.
For some reason, I felt angry and stepped forward and pulled the cowhide rope.
The rope is hard and smooth, slightly cold.
Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Guan Er still pulled it hard...
As a result, there was no sense of obstacle as I imagined, but it was much gentler. He took two steps back at once, and then with the creaking sound, the water wheel at the other end began to rise slowly.
The air was terriblely quiet...
The noise around him disappeared, and all eyes were gathered on him and the guard.
At this moment, Guan Er finally realized that something incredible had happened...
He looked at each other and saw the surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes. He believed that at this moment, both of them had the same eyes.
They looked at the giant wheel ahead at the same time, perhaps an illusion, but not... the real, huge giant wheel has left the ground, and it feels so unreal!
The power of flesh and blood lifts up a thousand pounds of weight?
Soon, Guan Er discovered that it was not only him, but also Lao Cuckoo and others were stunned. The water wheel above a thousand pounds was indeed off the ground, and it was several feet away!
How many people are afraid of reading it wrong, and they throw themselves to the ground regardless of the dust to look carefully, but the water wheel is indeed off the ground...
Guan Er felt that he had not done much effort, so he looked at each other with the guard guard who was also pulling the cowhide rope, and pulled the rope hard again.
With the creaking sound, the water wheel was raised again, reaching a height of several feet from the ground. In this way, everyone saw it clearly that the water wheel really left the ground...
Most people looked in the direction of him and the guard, as if surprised that they had a thousand pounds of power, but he and the guard were sure to know that the two looked innocent. They had no thousand pounds of power at all, and they had not even tried their best. But the water wheel, the thousand pound water wheel, just got up like this?
Guan Er couldn't believe his eyes. They pulled them up. He turned around and saw the frozen smile on Lao Cucku's face. The prince hugged his concubine intimately. Everyone was curious and looked closer. For a moment, he seemed to have become the focus of the world, and everyone's eyes gathered on him.
He couldn't help but feel proud, and pulled the cowhide rope with the guard, and the water wheel rose again... more than five feet above the ground!
It felt like a dream, as if he was in a dream last night. He obviously didn't have the strength, but the Qianjun thing opposite was pulled up high. Guan Er was a little dazed, as if he was dreaming and illusion. He didn't know what he did and what he did, but he just stared blankly at the Qianjun heavy thing being lifted up in his hand.
He began to be unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, until the prince ordered two people to change, and the two of them easily pulled the water wheel off the ground.
Guan Er finally understood that it was not him who lifted the heavy object, nor the guards with him, but the small gourd-shaped thing, something that was made by the prince's favored concubine. The girl never thought of explaining to them.
I tried two more groups, and even thin people could pull a thousand pounds into the air. That feeling...
If God helps!
Could it be that girl is really a god-like person, so the prince pampers her! How could she do this if it weren't for this?
Guan Er was shocked and could not calm down for a long time. Most of the people around him were in the same mood as him. Looking at the old Cuckoo, his face was pale and his knees were trembling, and he almost knelt down...
At this time, the prince suddenly raised his hand, stabilized everyone, and then touched the Qianjun Shuihuang in the air and shouted: "I knew the result today, so the reason I didn't tell you in advance was to give you advice to everyone, all the craftsmen of the royal palace, and all the people who work in the royal palace."
The prince said as he pulled his concubine in his hand, raised her beautiful arm, and shouted: "The experience of ancestors cannot be a reason to hinder progress. Anyone who hinders the implementation of new technologies on the grounds of experience ancestors will not welcome this palace!"
(I go to banquets everywhere during the Chinese New Year, I am drunk and dizzy, and I am attending all the time. I am sorry for leaving home on the sixth day of the day, and going to work normally on the seventh day of the day, and I will definitely recover~~~~)
