Chapter 432 The Turning of the Wooden Horse Attracts Children
Yao Chong and the others returned to the Political Hall, and many places on their clothes were wet.
The three people didn't care, but looked very excited.
"Yuan Zhi is right, Li Yi has indeed come up with something new." Lu Huaishen affirmed Yao Chong's previous words.
"Yes, Yuan Zhi is amazing." Zhang continued.
Yao Chong himself was at a loss. It turns out that this is the case. I asked him why I suddenly had a special feeling.
Fire-fighting tools are indeed good things.
It's normal. It would be strange if Li Yi didn't come up with something after a few days.
Hurry up and send the documents to the state capitals of Datang, bring the drawings and explanations, and ask them to continue issuing them.
It is difficult for ordinary people to make other things, but pumps are simple. Each family can make two and keep them.
Oh, kids can also play with it and have water fights.
Before nightfall, notices were posted in every neighborhood of Chang'an City.
The above is the method of making a pump, a section of bamboo tube, a bamboo or wood chip, which is similar to the inner ring of the bamboo tube.
Attach a bamboo pole or wooden stick to the back, and then a short wooden stick horizontally for easy grasping.
Put the front end in the water, pull the stick, draw water into the tube, and then press it down hard, the water will shoot out very far.
The introduction is straightforward, and the person who helps read it also makes gestures.
The common people saw that there was something they could make at home, and they were ready to make it tomorrow.
If I don’t have the tools at home, I plan to ask someone to make a few.
The three trade unions gave the price, two cents each, and those who wanted to buy could go and buy it.
"It's a good thing. It's useless for one person to put out the fire. If there are more people, if we all spray water together, we can spray it on the roof."
"I don't know who made it. It's amazing and it helped us a lot."
"Lijiazhuangzi, during the day, some people saw them filling water in big buckets, pressing them one by one, and spraying water on the road, otherwise the cement road would be too hot."
"It's not wrong to think about it. I'll ask around tomorrow. There are too many good things from Lijiazhuangzi."
"Otherwise, why would the imperial court give him a third-grade official?"
"Third grade is too low, it should be given to fifth grade."
"..."
The people were chatting. When someone said that the fifth grade was higher than the third grade, everyone dispersed automatically and did not talk to the fool.
Three days later, the first batch of forty carousels were completed.
People from the Workers' League took them to rivers of various sizes, and there were also canals in the city with sufficient water speed and flow.
They assembled wooden horses, wooden cows, wooden tigers, big rabbits and other animals, which rose and fell as the water flowed through them.
"One dollar can let a child go up and play for a quarter of an hour. If you want to play, you can pay here."
The person in charge of collecting money yelled, two people working in groups.
They are all people who are not in good health and cannot do energetic work.
It’s similar to watching people selling herbal tea by the river. They are responsible for collecting the money and then issuing wages.
They were not allowed to take any money with them, and someone was responsible for searching them.
There is a box next to it. The collected money is thrown into the box and you are searched again when you get off work in the evening.
And told them that someone would patrol and if they found that they did not put the money in the box in time, but put it on themselves, there would be no need to do anything.
Arrange another person to sell popcorn and other snacks next to Lijiazhuangzi.
Children from wealthy families quickly fell in love with the carousel and could buy snacks.
The children bring their own money, but do not accept it or allow it, for fear that the children will steal the family's money.
Children who don’t have money stand by and watch others play and eat.
At noon, while eating, Yao Chong and others ran to a place with a carousel to watch.
"These dolls are pitiful, especially children from poor families who are not old enough to go to school."
Zhang said he could only watch when he saw the little guys nearby and shook his head.
"In the past, eating in the East and West markets was the same, wasn't it?" Lu Huaishen didn't think much of it.
"This thing should be given by Li Yizhuangzi to children to play with. The King of Song Dynasty actually used it to make money. Rich children can play with it, but other children can see it, alas!"
Yao Chong criticized the King of Song, thinking that it would make children from poor families hate rich people.
At this time, Li Chengqi sent someone to talk to the officials and tell them Li Yi's method.
If you want to play but have no money, study hard and get an excellent grade. Then you can play and eat for free.
If the people in the official school think it is good, then it should be like this, otherwise the children will not make progress.
Moreover, children from rich families can still work hard. Others can play for free, but they spend money to play, which is different.
Just like Li Yi's little red flower at that time, children who did well in exams would be rewarded with notebooks and pens.
What kind of pen and notebook do rich kids need? If they can't get it, they won't be convinced.
The next day, when Yao Chong and the others found out, their words were different again.
"That's okay. It's good to give children a chance so that they know how to study hard." Yao Chong praised.
"It was Li Yi's idea, and he was willing to lend money to it."
Zhang said he would like to express his opinion on Li Yi's willingness to give away snacks for free.
Lu Huaishen thought for a moment: "If I see it, it's better to replace it with paper, pen, and ink. Lijia Zhuangzi can make it all by himself, and it doesn't need to be too good."
"The child likes to eat snacks. Look at His Majesty's side. When the money from Yanjing comes over, I can ask Your Majesty for the official school reward."
Zhang said he was thinking about Li Longji's money. The emperor had too much money and wanted to think of a way to use it.
"I'm still a little uneasy." Yao Chong suddenly frowned.
"It was a waterwheel last time, but this time it's still a waterwheel. One is for fire fighting and the other is for entertainment. Don't worry." Lu Huaishen comforted Yao Chong.
"Yuan Zhi, you think about Li Jia Zhuangzi all day long, and you have other thoughts. It's okay." Zhang said and persuaded.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Yao Chong closed his eyes and turned to go home.
In Honglu Temple, people from the Tibetan state gathered together, each holding a pump in their hand.
Boyan drew a tube of water from the tube next to him and squeezed it out.
"This thing can put out fires. It can also pump oil and spray it on people on top of the city. Then it can throw torches, which will cause more casualties."
He saw the military application of things.
It can shoot out seven to eight feet on flat ground, and further on the city wall.
Use a basin to pour oil on siege equipment. Wait until the distance is close before using it. After pouring oil on it, shoot it with rockets.
Others fiddled with it without making a sound.
After a while, Boyan mentioned Lijiazhuangzi again.
"Someone saw Lijiazhuangzi filling water in a large bucket, which is like a well pressure, and can press the water farther out.
Maybe they can spray oil all the way to the top of the city, and when they make something that can spray dozens of feet.
Even if they tried to shoot rockets at the top of the city, they couldn't. They rushed up and a group of people shot rockets upwards from the bottom of the city. The soldiers on the city would suffer heavy casualties. "
"If there is a fire, can the siege attack on the city? You can use sand and earth to extinguish the oil fire, not to mention there are many cavalry, they are just rushing to kill."
The Turks don't want to worry about this. The Turks rely on cavalry to fight.
A member of a small tribe put down his pump at this time and said: "Things to put out fires, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, the Tang Dynasty must spread all over the prefecture, go to the county, and get it if you want."
Maybe they have it, but it’s hard for us not to have it. We can grow more beans and rapeseed and press the oil to prepare it.
If it is winter, the water can be sprayed farther away to make the ground freeze, making the attackers unable to stand firmly. "
At this time, Li Yi in Zhuangzi never thought of filling the water truck with oil to burn the enemy.
He made himself a tiny catapult and placed a firecracker in a scoop at the back.
After lighting, press the front with your finger, and the firecrackers will fly out and explode in the air.
The other is a torsion type. You bend it first, then put the firecrackers on it and light it. When you let go, the firecrackers fly out.
Li Chengqi squatted aside and watched, swallowing his saliva: "Throw the big firecrackers with a lot of gunpowder out."
