Chapter 632: Inclined supply of production resources
In the afternoon, the people stood outside the soybean fields, watching the assembled big thing roaring there.
A stage was set up here, and Zhu Yuanzhang and other important figures sat on the stage and waited.
Several people stood on the soybean combine harvester, preparing large sacks and shovels.
With an order, the harvester began to move forward. The bean pods in front were all cut close to the roots. The bean pods were brought inside and were crushed, cut and smashed again, and the bean pods were separated and separated. , the other straw falls onto the conveying equipment below.
The people behind started to put on sacks, some of which were filled with crushed straw, and some of which were collected with soybeans. After filling one sack, they threw it into the next sack. The sack for collecting straw was obviously several times larger than the normal sack.
Seeing the soybeans being taken away along the way, the people's eyes widened.
Two quarters of an hour later, someone shouted, "We have harvested more than three acres, it depends on the location."
Huang Lizhang was very excited, "Your Majesty, although it is not as good as two or three hundred people, it is still worth it." It’s also very fast.”
“How many soybeans can one person harvest in one day?” Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping, who were standing next to them, simultaneously replied, "Two acres."
Huang Lizhang nodded and said that it was no problem. Indeed, at this speed, the bean vines below were difficult to cut. hard.
"Two quarters of three acres, one hour of twelve acres, twelve hours of one hundred and forty-four acres and seventy-two people
The soybeans are threshed directly, and the pods and pods have already been Chopped, this must be counted as labor.
Someone must be there to pack the sacks. Can we remove those people to save manpower?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did the math, it's almost the same. One piece of equipment is worth one hundred people, but less than two hundred, unless a big one is built.
Li Chang said: "Your Majesty, the more comprehensive the functions, the higher the precision control requirements. With that kind of resources, it is better to build a few more harvesters.
Now this belongs to speed control. It can be faster. Let’s test the machine now and let the equipment run in for a while. After a while, it can collect 256 acres in one hour.
Automatic bag feeding and bundling structural components are more expensive than manual labor. It is a set of consumable parts. It needs to be powered, so the corresponding parts must be added to the main equipment.”
The director does not agree with the fully automatic, and after accounting, it will be very troublesome to repair later, but there is that. Design drawings can be made at any time.
"Oh" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, gave up the plan to be fully automatic, and asked instead, "Can it be made bigger?"
"Yes, but it's not necessary. At the same time, the requirements for metal are When the front platform is increased, the metal has its own weight and strength.
Like bamboo poles, the longer the bamboo poles are erected horizontally, the greater the distal end will sag.
The same is true for iron. We built this thing to be strong, durable, easy to maintain, low-cost, easy to produce, and simple to operate.”
Li Chang still refuses to build larger ones. It is not convenient to dismantle large ones into parts and transport them. The key is: Integrated parts cannotdismantle.
"Yes" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again, which makes sense.
Zhu Wentian watched from the side, thinking about how to reduce the size of the equipment. He also wanted to use it for interplanting.
Strip compound planting of soybeans and sorghum, four to six rows of soybeans, and four to five rows of sorghum, so that small equipment can be harvested separately.
While talking, the harvester began to speed up.
Many people looked at the big guy going away and clenched their fists, seeming to give them more encouragement.
In their eyes, the big guys are amazing. It’s amazing that one person can do the work of so many people.
“Made, make a lot of things, need steel and copper, dig copper mines.
Use big animals on small fields and terraces, and use steam engines in plain areas. Steam engines Plowing, sowing, and harvesting.
My dear, wherever there are plains in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, there must be them."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked through the telescope, feeling excited and anxious. Because it’s too late this year, we have to wait until next year’s wheat harvest to start.
This delay is more than eight months, and we can only use this time to work hard to build equipment.
Then Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and other places with few people use it in large quantities.
"Father, Xi'an Prefecture also has plains, the Wei River Plain, which is an alluvial plain, and Guanzhong."
Zhu Xi finally couldn't bear it any longer. He reminded his father that the plains in my fiefdom are Da, they used to grow wheat.
"You can find someone to arrange it yourself, as well as the third and fourth sons."
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he didn't care, because your fiefdom did not pay taxes to the court.
"Thank you, Father" Zhu Ping became happy instead. If you let me, I will find Xiaqiu Village.
"I want it there too." Zhu Fan followed and looked towards the director.
As a result, Zhu Xi told him, "The basin where you are can grow crops, we can discuss it later."
"Yes, I have coal and iron there, and I can build more steam engines. I want to Craftsmen, I have to find a way to train craftsmen."
Zhu Fan found that there was a shortage of good manpower. Craftsmen are the treasure, and of course the most precious thing is the technology of Xiaqiu Village.
"Your Majesty, do you need money for this?" Huang Lichang felt that his place needed it, and he felt that apart from getting some fertilizer, applying medicine, etc., no one needed to take care of the rest.
Use it for plowing, harrowing, sowing, and harvesting. If people use it to breed and fish, how much more money will they make this year?
"First It’s free for two or three years, but you have to pay for the coal yourself, and if you need maintenance and engine oil, this is yours.”
Zhu Yuanzhang offered to use it for free, mainly because he didn’t know how much he would charge. The money is right.
Without collecting money as subsidies, people's income will increase, and they will not always think about causing trouble.
Especially in Guangdong, it is too difficult to govern. People with religious sects will rebel whenever there is a natural disaster or something and the people cannot eat.
Send the equipment overI went to help with the work, and I was already full. Who would rebel?
"Yes, it's just like borrowing a cow. You have to feed it well and don't tire yourself out, otherwise they won't lend it to you next time."
p>Huang Lizhang has a strong understanding and takes care of the harvester as a big animal. He does not charge rent, so he naturally has to take care of other aspects.
The harvester over there turned around and came back, and then the second harvester came on the scene, also slowing down a little first, and then speeding up.
"Yichang, remember to bring three equipment sets to help at the two lakes. Don't watch the rice harvest, it's too far."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the rice harvest Regarding the efficiency of soybeans, I choose to trust the technology and strength of Xiaqiu Village, and there is no need to look at rice.
There is no place to look. Ningguo Prefecture and Taiping Prefecture are all interplanting. To see individual rice, go south, to Guangde Prefecture, which is far; to the west, Chizhou Prefecture, which is next to Taiping Prefecture in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is still far away. .
After harvesting the local soybeans, go down the river and go to the rice planting area in Yingtianfu to help harvest them.
The manpower brought by my team went directly to Xiaqiu Village and used manual help to collect it.
"Yes" the manager responded and immediately asked the craftsmen to assemble the third device. It can also be used at night and has lights.
The third unit will naturally be sent to the opposite side of the lake. After collecting Shijiu Lake and Danyang Lake, we will see if Gucheng Lake is needed.
Then everyone started catching crabs, which was extra income.
"Yi Chang, the credit for this place"
"It's all the result of His Majesty's grace." The chief saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to throw the credit at him and quickly gave it back.
"That's what we think." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at him.
