Railroad Car
Chapter 142:Railroad Car
From the capture of the long song fortress to now more than half a month, the fortress and the five people in the western world have all been in place.
After the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, the spring cultivation of the new year finally began, which is also the first step for Roland to explore the planting technology.The serfs saw the dawn of their promotion to free people, and they were all in the heat of the day.The need for the overseers to throw the whip and urge the serfs to work was basically extinct on the south bank of the Redwater, and the individual serfs found that even if they were lazy, no one was restrained by the fact that they were carrying strange tools in the fields, according to the town hall officials who used strange tools to measure, the lords did not care about the harvest of one or two fields, and the serfs would cultivate for themselves in the future, and there were many farmers.
It was not that the officers of the Ministry of Agriculture were so excellent that they fully understood the principle of distribution according to work, but Roland asked them to repeat these contents to the serfs on a continuous basis.In order to strengthen the indoctrination effect and meet the prince's own feelings, the banks of the Red Water River were also filled with red flags and banners that read "Labor is the only way to get rich", "Work is glorious", "Work goes to freedom, labor changes destiny" and so on.
Of course, these measures are not without anyone objecting, for example, Barov was the first to speak out against it.
"Your Highness, it makes no sense at all that you do, that the serfs are overwhelmingly illiterate, and they do not care what is written on the banners.These people are ignorant and ignorant, and sometimes the whip does not work, let alone some seemingly inexplicable words.”
Roland's answer was simple: "Those banners were not shown to them."
“Why are you doing these things?”The assistant’s face seemed rather confused.
“To set a living example.”
He never thought that serfs were stupid and intransiquential, that they were uneducated and did not mean that they had no ideas.Even the duller will be driven by desire and profit, which is the nature of human nature - the indoctrination of the Commissioner of Agriculture seems to have little effect, but will leave a lead in their hearts, like a trickle, and will eventually converge into a piece.When the first serfs were promoted to free people, when they exchanged harvest crops for money, when they bought excellent clothes, fine food, and even solid and warm brick houses, the repeated slogans would become reality and deeply baked in their hearts.
As for the banner on the shore, it is for the townspeople after receiving universal education.
Relying on your own hands to get rid of poverty, becoming a formal member of the border town, and even more than the indigenous people, this is the power of hard work.
Only by comparison can we feel the gap, and only by actively pursuing, the efficiency of individuals will play the highest.
...
The iron head stood at the mouth of the mine, waiting for a new round of mining.
Ever since the demon moon had been burned by the high heat of steam and half changed his face, he would never dare to stand near the black machine again.
Fortunately, there was a kind of angel-like Miss Nanawa in the border town, and the iron head touched her as intact as the cheek, and felt very sad in her heart.At that time, he suspected that the other party was the devil's minion, which was a blasphemy against her.After the winter, he specially mentioned two salted fish and a wild boar leg, and went to the Payne family to apologize.
To his surprise, although Tigu Payne was a viscount, he did not have the habit of looking at people with his nose, and he accepted his apology.For the first time, the iron head felt that the original nobles were not all cold and ruthless.
"Old iron," ran out of the hole a miner covered with ash, "the rope is already tied."
"Well," he cried, turning his head in the direction of the steam engine, "all away!"Flak, lift the green lever and press the red lever!If you do something wrong, I’ll screw your head down.”
“Don’t worry, old iron, it’s on me!”Flake answered loudly.
After sending the nails to the first army in the town, the iron head changed the individual to operate the steam engine.In the first few days, Flak often got the pull rod sequence wrong, causing the gas pipeline to burst, and he was beaten by his fat.Fortunately, His Royal Highness did not care about this matter, not only sent someone to replace the damaged parts, but also did not punish them for money - the iron head had already made the intention of everyone being fined for one month's salary.
With the opening of the intake lock, the steam engine spews out a huge white air, and the main wheel runs slowly, driving the winch, and the mahjong rope is straight.
“Give me all the spirit!Look at the rope and look carefully!”The iron head shouted.
Now, in addition to the steam engine, the way of mining the mine has also changed.
His Royal Highness ordered the craftsmen to cut a section of wood into a bar, and the end of the joint was spread out in the mine, and then shoved into the wood under two strips, which at first glance looked like a lattice of many wood.
His Highness called it a wooden rail transportation system, a very rounded name, which did not seem complicated, but with a special mining truck, hey!It’s called a rut.Usually need to carry three or four days of ore, connect several mining trucks together, the steam engine can drag all out in one go.
The iron head has specially observed this kind of four-wheeled trailer running on the wooden track, and it is made of iron all over the body, and such a car alone is worth a lot.The key to being able to move on a narrow strip of wood without falling off is its wheels – the inside of each small iron wheel has a circle of enlarged kines that firmly limit the mine to the wooden rails.On the wheel is placed on a four-sided iron basin, with a curved trench before and after, and can be strung together with a line of hemp rope.
He could not help but admire the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Prince, and such a simple design could make the mine so simple.Before that, dragging these dead ore out of the mine hole is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive work.
However, this system is not perfect, for example, just used in the fifth day, two wooden tracks were crushed, and then several pieces were broken.Later, His Highness wrapped the top of all the wooden tracks on a layer of iron skin and then improved.
In addition, the mine also had a hemp rope break accident, and the iron axe is still in the afterglow.Originally, the mine out of the hole when only four mining trucks were dragged at a time, the miners were greedy on the day of the accident, all six mining trucks were connected together, and the result was pulled to half of the thick hemp rope suddenly cracked, and a man standing next to the iron head was swept back, and he beat his arm in two, and the ribs were broken several times.The mine slid down the track, knocked down the two men, and crushed the legs of an unlucky man.
Fortunately, the iron head knew what to do in such a case, and at once he organized the hand to transport the wounded to the residence of the Viscount Tigu, and as long as there was no death on the spot, Miss Nanawa could restore them as before.
“Old man, the car is out!”The man staring at the hole shouted.
“Flac, shut off the steam engine after ten breaths, pay attention to the order!”The iron head shouted.
“Good!”
Four mining vehicles slowly stopped at the end of the wooden track, and he went over to record shipments and varieties.The first two cars of the stone are reddish-browed, which is also the most produced thing in the mine - iron ore.The third car stone ash was yellow, it should be a copper mine, and when he saw the fourth car, he staggered, and there seemed to be no such stone in the previous records: they were all black-brown, and they reflected a dull metallic luster in the sun.
It is an unknown mineral species, the iron head shakes its head, and the passageway in the north slope ore is criss-crossed, and often can dig out inexplicable things.He drew a fork on the paper and sent the ore to the yard.As for whether the pile of black stones will be sent to the furnace, it has nothing to do with him.(Unfinished.
