"Dongzhu, if you're in a hurry, we can make it in half a month. Actually, ten days is enough, but it needs to be painted.
It takes five days for the paint to dry. This needs at least three coats of paint.
Dongzhu, your design is good. It's grand. Otherwise, it can't show off our Li Family Zhuangzi's ability. "
After the woodworkers looked at the blueprint Li Yi gave them, they evaluated it and gave them the progress.
"There's no hurry. It's my first time making it. Consider it as accumulating experience." Li Yi was indeed not in a hurry.
He didn't expect Zhangsun Xin to make the Qiangong Step Bed in a short time.
If Zhangsun Xin was in Chang 'an, she might be able to make it in a month. But in Lantian County … Haha!
The blueprint he gave Zhangsun Xin was the overall blueprint of the outside. It was divided into several angles and the layout inside.
In addition to the above blueprint, he also gave the Zhuangzi Workshop an exploded diagram.
"Ah! Ah! "Before lunch, the two little guys from the Xu family came.
When the eldest brother was led to Li Yi, his big eyes were bright and he stomped his little feet and laughed.
Obviously, he didn't forget Li Yi and recognized him.
He turned his head to look at the layout of Zhuangzi. He let go of his father's hand and clapped his two little hands.
Familiar. This place was also familiar. He was inexplicably happy.
The second brother also looked up at Li Yi. It seemed that the scene that night had left a deep impression on him. He also recognized Li Yi.
He moved his legs a few times and got closer to Li Yi. He tilted his head and thought about something.
His brother ran away again. He didn't want to think about it and turned to chase.
Xu Guanlan and his wife thanked Li Yi again. Li Yi didn't save a child, but a whole family.
Xu Guanlan also thanked Li Yi for giving him a copy of Zhuangzi's professor's textbook and the class notes of a few outstanding students.
After reading those things, he realized how rich the Li Family Zhuangzi was.
Physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, and geography were all taught.
As for the books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, they were all marked with punctuation and annotations.
Note, generally speaking, is the explanation, how to understand.
Just this bet alone was enough to make him famous. However, Zhuangzi was just showing it to the students.
"Xun 'er has been calling for cows. There is a cow at home, but he doesn't like it." Xu Guanlan explained.
"I forgot. The other toys were sent over, but not the bull.
It was just a wooden calf with a small stool in the middle.
He sat inside, and the adults rocked back and forth, and the child liked the rocking.
Zhuangzi has made many kinds of rocking chairs for children to play with. "
Li Yi knew what a cow was. The little girl wanted to rock the cow's chair the most.
As he spoke, he brought the couple over. By the time he found the two children, they were already sitting there swaying.
The two women on Zhuangzi looked after them, and the children laughed as they were swayed.
"Dongzhu." A villager from Lantian County came to Li Yi's side.
He handed over a prescription. "In the morning, there were two siblings …"
He told Li Yi what had happened and let him look at the prescription.
"Good, well done. You can't save everyone, but at least you have to help those around you.
Call a few imperial physicians from Zhuangzi and get the medicine from the ordinary pharmacy according to the prescription.
The imperial physicians will go over and take a look. We don't want the money. Both husband and wife are sick, and their work is delayed.
Fifteen taels could help them get through this difficult period of time.
If their family needs to farm and doesn't have cows, lend them two cows. Lend the cows according to the rules and raise them well. "
Li Yi looked at the prescription and arranged it.
The villager went to find people. Soon, four imperial physicians came out and put the two cows on the carriage.
They will take the cow cart. When the time comes, the cows will be lent to the family, and the carriage will also be lent.
Turning his head, Li Yi looked at the children playing with the rocking chairs, and suddenly thought of something.
"We can make a merry-go-round, powered by water. Put a paddle below, and when the water rushes, it will spin. Then … "
A picture appeared in Li Yi's mind. The middle shaft of the merry-go-round was covered with gears.
Then there was another gear that was at a ninety degree angle and meshed with this gear.
Add a shaft behind the gear, and the shaft was connected to a joint connecting rod.
As it spun, the merry-go-round would move up and down.
The structure wasn't complicated, but it needed to use metal gears. The shaft could be made of strong wood, including the connecting rod.
"Brother Xu and sister-in-law, take the children to play. I will go and draw."
Li Yi didn't accompany them. He wanted to quickly make fun children's toys.
On the other side, in Lantian County, Zhangsun Xin was still in a state of excitement.
He thought that he could make this Qiangong Step Bed and give it to Her Majesty.
The idea was good, but the reality was that he couldn't find craftsmen.
The servant ran to find people, but the craftsmen all ran to the Drunken Immortal House to work.
Carpenters, bricklayers, stonemasons, bricklayers, anyone with a bit of skill was there.
Those who weren't good enough took on other jobs in the county and were busy all day.
"Use that tune. It's time for them to work." Zhangsun Xin thought of the tune in the rent tune.
Every citizen should have twenty days of voluntary work.
The county magistrate was cooperative and arranged for the yamen runners to find the craftsmen.
When the yamen runners came back, they brought back the silk given by each craftsman for twenty days.
They couldn't be transferred and had to pay.
The craftsmen didn't pay much. One day in the Drunken Immortal House was equivalent to five days of work.
A year of twenty years was just four days of work. If they gave it, they would continue to make a lot of money.
The county magistrate happily put the money in the treasury. He finally had something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough money for daily office expenses!
Zhangsun Xin watched the money move in and prepare to use it in the yamen. He could only stare.
He wanted to go back to Chang 'an. There were many craftsmen there, but if he went back, he would be considered absent without leave.
There was something good in front of him, but he couldn't make it. What should he do?
"Spend money, spend a lot of money. Send someone to Chang 'an to find craftsmen and the Craftsmen Union." The concubine suggested.
"Spend my own money?" Zhangsun Xin was distressed. How much would it cost to make such a big bed, wood, and wages?
If he made it for the emperor, the wood for a bed would cost thousands of pieces.
He would make one for the emperor first. He didn't need good wood. One hundred pieces should be enough.
"The craftsmen's wages … thousands of pieces." Zhangsun Xin said. Hearing the name, thousands of pieces represented a thousand days.
If one hundred craftsmen worked for ten days, they would have to be familiar with the work. If one hundred craftsmen had never made such a thing before, they would have to work for a month.
In a month, it would be another hundred pieces, and they would have to provide food and lodging.
"Go, go to Chang 'an and find good carpenters." Zhangsun Xin ordered the servant.
The servant hesitated and said, "All the carpenters of the Craftsmen Union went out to dig wells. We can only find those who are good and don't belong to the Craftsmen Union."
"Find them." Zhangsun Xin gritted his teeth.
Carpenters who didn't belong to the Craftsmen Union had excellent skills and were even more expensive.
The servant went. At night, he came back with sixteen carpenters. Only sixteen people, five hundred pieces per day.
After the sixteen people finished looking at the pictures, they discussed with each other and found Zhangsun Xin.
"Inspector Zhangsun, we've seen it. This bed … for us, it will take three months. We have to think about it as we build it."
Fang Hui, the temporary leader of the carpenters, gave the time.
Numbers appeared in Zhangsun Xin's mind. Sixteen times five hundred was eight pieces. Multiplying it by ninety, it was seven hundred and twenty pieces.
