Chapter 402 The Completed Wheelbarrow Connects Every Village
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the handle of the wheelbarrow with so many bricks is now held by a lame hand who is not good at strength!
If such a thing happened to the second senior brother who was very strong in nature, although everyone would be surprised, it would not be to the extent it is now. But now...
Seeing the lame man pushing the bricks loaded with so many bricks forward alone, everyone could not help but widen their eyes and open their mouths into an O shape.
They have seen tools that can transport a lot of things at once, such as the deer-drawn sledge made by Shenzi and Lame when they were building a bathhouse in the winter.
It's just that the sledge is different from the wheelbarrow, because the sledge is pulled by deer, but now the only person pushing the wheelbarrow is the person himself.
Han Cheng looked at Lame pushing the car back and forth like a show off, and couldn't help but smile.
The first cart that appeared in the Qingque tribe was quite crude compared to the cart in Han Cheng's memory, and it was not as good as the two-wheeled bucket carts commonly used in construction sites in later generations, but it was indeed a cart.
At this time, speaking from a larger perspective, it has cross-epochal significance.
The wheelbarrow with a wheelbarrow appeared, and from then on, all kinds of carts with a wheelbarrow appeared.
Those used to push carts are no longer limited to lameness that will turn into old men in a few years. Various large herbivores that are gradually discovered and tamed will become the main force in pulling carts.
It can be said that the unicycle kicked off the development of vehicle manufacturing.
Before it appeared, if people wanted to create a car that was more labor-saving than carrying it by hand and shoulder, it might still take a long time and a lot of hard work.
But after the unicycle appeared, with this most basic thing in place, the emergence of other vehicles became a matter of course.
One hundred and twenty bricks can be loaded at once, which is actually a lot for a wheelbarrow.
After all, the road from the brick kiln to the Qingque tribe is not very easy to walk, and the wheels are still made of wood.
The reason why so many are loaded at one time is to verify the carrying capacity of the wheelbarrow.
Another part of the reason is that Han Cheng, especially Lame, wanted to gain a wave of admiration from everyone in the tribe.
The King of Chu once said that if you don't return home if you are rich and honorable, you will be walking at night in splendid clothes. How can you be exempt from the lameness after finally getting out of the handcart?
But if we wait and rest on the road, it won't be too strenuous to transport seventy or eighty yuan at a time. It's much less labor-intensive than carrying it with a load.
"I'll try it!"
After watching this for a while, the second senior brother couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up from the side and spoke out.
Lai had already received enough admiring glances from everyone, and this push of the cart also made him sweat slightly on his forehead.
Although a cart is easier to carry than a load, it will still make you tired if there are too many things on it, so you will loosen your grip when getting on.
After letting go, the independent trolley did not lose its balance and roll over to the ground, but stopped there smoothly.
This is because at the back of the cart, there are two wooden legs that serve as legs and are supported on the ground.
"More bricks on top..."
The second senior brother took over from Lai. Under Lai's guidance, he quickly became familiar with the trolley and shouted proudly.
Han Cheng quickly spoke up to stop him.
After all, the bearings of the wheelbarrow are not steel, but hard wood, and the wheels are also made of wood. Then add them on. This wheelbarrow, which was made with great difficulty, may not wait until it is actually put into transportation.
It will be scrapped...
The novel trolley immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Qingque tribe. Not only the adults, but also the curious and active children ran around the trolley.
I just wanted to wait for the adults to have some free time and play with the wheelbarrow for a while.
The emergence of wheelbarrows has greatly reduced the burden on the people who carry the bricks and produce them.
The number of people doing this work has been reduced from the five people at the beginning to the two people now.
Although the number of people was suddenly reduced by three, more than half, the speed of work did not slow down, and was even faster than before. Moreover, the two people working did not feel as tired as before.
The great success of the first wheelbarrow greatly inspired the first carpenter's motivation.
With his first successful experience, he and his two assistants quickly started working, and after half a month, two more vehicles were produced.
"Bang, bang..."
Some members of the Qingque tribe are now holding earth-ramming tools in their hands, taking advantage of the fact that after a rain, when the ground is not completely dry, they are constantly pounding it on the ground.
They are not building earthen walls, nor are they breaking the ground inside newly built houses, but working outside the Qingque tribe's wall on the road leading to the brick kiln.
The road they rammed was not a simple dirt road. The somewhat moist mud was covered with a layer of finely crushed stones transported from the quarry.
After such a long period of mining, there are a lot of broken small stones in the quarry. They were piled there without any use before, but now they are used.
These fine stones were smashed into the soil by the people of the Qingque tribe using violent means.
After this, the ground will no longer turn into mud after people walk on it after it rains.
If you rush to harvest and transport the crops when the time comes, you will have an extra layer of protection.
There are three such roads in total.
They lead to brick kilns and farmland on the left and right sides of the tribe.
The three roads merge into one fifty meters away from the gate of Qingque Tribe, and then lead together to the interior of the tribe.
No wonder people say that if you want to be rich, you must first build a road. Such a road, regardless of whether it can make the Qingque tribe rich, will at least be much more comfortable to walk on.
Han Cheng was walking on this newly built original version of the "Village to Village" road, feeling this way in his heart.
However, when looking at the two roads leading to the fields that were only under planning and had not yet been constructed, Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff.
After all, the tribe's manpower is limited, and there are many things that need to be done. It is impossible to put all the manpower on road construction.
Therefore, so far, the only original village-to-village road that has been built is from the tribal road to the brick kiln, and the standard is not too high.
Now more than 11,000 green bricks have been fired, and they are placed in a huge pile in the tribe.
A lot of tiles have also been burnt. The construction of a large blue brick house with tiles, whose main function is the school, will begin soon. In this way, the people who built the road will be diverted to the construction of the house. Two roads lead to the fields.
The road will be put on hold.
Infrastructure construction is really not easy.
Han Cheng shook his head and sighed.
The population is never enough.
He sighed again.
Just wait, wait until this winter, if the salt plan that you have been working on for so long still does not have the desired effect, then you will have to take some other measures!
