Chapter 188 New Tool Honeycomb Hole

West of Chang'an, outside Guanghua Gate.

The people digging out the ice from the river were still densely packed. In addition to the team originally organized by the government, there were also people who joined forces with others.

The people who joined together did not provide ice for the ice sculpture exhibition. They specifically looked for wealthy households and chose the best ice fields.

Good ice will naturally be of high price. Someone will be responsible for negotiating and someone will organize the manpower to do the work.

Whoever does well will get more money.

Several groups sometimes have to fight over a good piece of land.

Fortunately, there were people from the yamen watching, and no one was injured or killed.

In addition to providing ice labor, wooden frames were set up downstream of rivers and canals outside the city, and dustpans were used to shake briquettes.

Since the nearby coal mining fields charge money, coal face has become a good thing.

They imitated the migrant workers in Lijiazhuangzi, shaking out the briquettes and selling them to people who burned coal in the city.

Where coal is dug, there is no water to wash the coal. It is all dry coal noodles. Snow has fallen and the top layer has frozen hard. The coal noodles inside are dug out and packed in open boxes in cars.

The flowers are then covered with straw curtains and ropes are attached to them. The flowers are transported back in carts, and they are stirred with water directly from the river to roll out briquettes one by one.

Just shaking briquettes is equally organized.

Someone called on some people who didn't have livestock or carts, and used manpower to transport it from a long distance, including on their backs.

Go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon.

Occasionally I would steal some good coal when I was carrying it, and the price would naturally be different when I put it all together.

Others pooled their money together to hire a car to transport coal back and forth.

When you have more money, you buy cars and livestock and find people to shake briquettes for you.

There are also conflicts between them over price and finding manpower.

The city of Chang'an has started to be divided into pieces. Which square, or the east, west, north, and south of a square belongs to whoever owns it, and others are not allowed to sell it.

Pei Yaoqing stood next to the place where the ice was taken, listening to what the dozens of people said, and shook his head helplessly.

"As expected, there were endless disputes. The poor people found a job to make money, but the poor also bullied the poor."

Pei Yaoqing remembered what Li Yi said. It was useless. He saved the suffering people, but then turned around and caused others suffering.

Some of the people in Pingkangfang were willing to be managed uniformly, and some actually moved out of the imperial family and ignored themselves as the county magistrate.

However, the organization's activities still need to be organized to give obedient people the opportunity to make more money.

I believe that others will come closer driven by interests.

Pei Yaoqing thought about it and walked to the south. There was a briquette shaker there.

But those from further downstream came up and wanted to fight and kill them.

Shake the briquettes with water, and the water carrying the briquettes will flow to the ground and form a layer of ice. It will continue to flow and enter the river.

The village where we live down there has stopped working, and we can no longer wash our clothes or drink anything.

Normally, instead of calling the officials in situations like this, just bring the guy and a large group of people to rush over.

"Are you okay now?" Pei Yaoqing asked the government servant who was following him.

"As we moved back, we had to walk a few more steps to get water, and we also dug several shallow pits, where the water mixes directly with the coal."

The yamen officer introduced the situation at the briquettes gathering place in front.

The Yamen issued an order not to allow coal water to enter the river, otherwise people would be arrested.

After hearing this, Pei Yaoqing arrived at the place after a while.

Dirty, the first feeling is uncomfortable.

In areas where the ground is covered with black coal powder, some are frozen, and some are blown up by the wind.

Only a few of the workers wore masks they made themselves, following the example of Li Jia Zhuangzi.

Others had dark faces, noses and eyes. When they opened their mouths, black saliva flowed out from between their teeth, and they took another sip.

"Yes, that's not the case. Have you ever seen Li Yi's place? They shook the briquettes to see if they were clean?" Pei Yaoqing was not sure.

When I watched it that day, I only remembered that there was a lot of work, but I forgot about the details of shaking briquettes.

But he can guarantee that it is definitely not what he sees now.

The yamen servant next to him had been with him and was reminiscing about it, but he couldn't remember it. What was going on? Why is Zhuangzi shaking?

"Send someone on horseback to have a look. We can't let them continue like this. As soon as the spring begins, the ground will melt, and there will be another rain, and the river will turn black again."

Pei Yaoqing simply didn't want to and asked someone to go over there to take a look and learn.

There was a government officer riding a horse around the outside of the city, running very fast towards the east.

"The wind is good on the river today. Yes, set up the sail windmill and connect the basket with the coal slime. The molding must be controlled well and no one will lie down..."

Coincidentally, Li Yi was also watching "Shaking Briquettes" today. He was familiar with it before, familiar with the rules, and familiar with the process.

Now let’s start with the tools. The briquettes are first made of coal, and then separated into rows horizontally and vertically to form a square.

The cubes are shaken in a dustpan to grind off the edges and become briquettes.

The reason why we don’t directly burn the small cubes is because the cubes can be stacked together and are airtight.

No matter how you stack the round briquettes, there are always gaps, making them easy to burn.

The stamping die originally used a horizontal wooden stick connected to a vertical wooden stick. When someone grasped it and pressed it down hard, the coal was pushed open.

Now it is replaced by a grid of metal sheets. The wooden frame is tied with a rope and connected to the grid. When it falls down, a small piece of coal appears, which is quick and not tiring.

and coal slime. As long as there is wind on the riverside, the windmill with sails is installed, like a mill, and it stirs when it turns.

The person shaking the briquettes does not need a dustpan, but uses a foot-operated roller. A pile of cubes of coal are poured in and stepped on, so that the coal lumps roll inside and the edges are worn away.

Other places where coal noodles are piled are covered with straw curtains to prevent them from blowing around in strong winds.

The yamen officer who rode over saw it and was confused. This was not what he wanted to see.

He wants to see the more primitive kind. How can others learn from it now?

He dismounted and came closer: "Dr. Li, how did they shake it before? I mean ashes. Others outside the city shook it, and it didn't look like it."

Li Yi slapped his forehead: "It's my fault. First use stone rollers to flatten the ground. It won't be used in winter. Then spread a layer of loess and coal noodles will work on it. Then pour some water and clean it up together. UU Read www.uukanshu.net ”

"Can we still burn it? There is coal with loess." The yamen officer recalled it and determined that the soil could not be burned.

"Five parts of coal or four parts of coal, plus one part of loess, can burn. Let me teach you how to make a briquette stove.

You can carry it around, it weighs more than ten pounds, and you can put a small pot on it. The disadvantage is that there is no chimney, so people are burning in the house.

You first let them level the land, and then transport the loess. We have no shortage of loess here. "

Li Yi considered teaching others to make briquettes so that the stove would be easy to make.

After Li Yi finished speaking, he turned and left to find a craftsman. He remembered a useful little tool. Making briquettes was faster than shaking briquettes and beating briquettes.

Just press one, no need to add extra ingredients.

The yamen servant stood there and muttered it several times, wrote it down, and rode back.

Before noon, the place where the briquettes were shaken began to be cleaned. The coal was piled aside, loess was pulled in to spread a layer, a roller was used to press it, and another layer was spread.

When working on it, shovel out the loess together with it to make it clean.

Li Yi's Zhuangzi craftsmen also made things, and those in the blacksmith's workshop were making them.

What is in front of me is a bamboo tube with a diameter of three inches. There are knots on the back. Several holes are drilled on the knots. The thin bamboo is sharpened at the bottom and inserted into the holes and wedged firmly.

The hole in the middle is the largest, and a bamboo pole that is twice thicker than the thin bamboo is riveted in.

Take it to the place where the coal mud has been mixed, dip it in water first, and press it directly against the coal pile.

Move to the side, make a pile on the ground, pick it up, a briquette is ready, just dry it in the sun.

"The disadvantage is that it breaks easily. The workshop makes the iron ones. Let's see if they are useful first." Li Yi handed the items to the workers nearby.

The other party imitated Li Yi, dipping in water, inserting, moving, piercing and lifting.
