"Jiagui, what is this? It's so easy to thresh?" The villagers saw the Li family carrying a strange-looking thing into the rice field, and everyone came to watch curiously.
"This is a threshing machine, specially used for threshing rice. You see, first step on the pedal with your feet. When the roller starts to rotate, grasp the roots of the rice with both hands and put the end of the rice ear on the roller. After turning the threshing machine a few times, the rice on it will fall off." Li Jiagui kindly introduced the threshing machine to everyone.
"This thing is good. It saves time and effort." Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw Li Jiagui taking off the bunch of rice in his hand.
"When using a threshing machine to remove material, be careful not to put your hands on the rollers, otherwise your hands will be injured." Li Jiagui continued to explain the precautions.
"Jiagui, where did you get this thing?"
"You can buy it in Qingniu Town, but the price is a bit expensive."
"Good things are definitely expensive, and homes are expensive. How much money does this thing cost?"
"I heard it cost more than two taels of silver, but I didn't ask how much it was." He didn't buy the threshing machine, so he didn't ask in detail.
"It's expensive enough. Ordinary farmers really can't afford it." Everyone shook their heads and sighed. Everyone wants such a good thing, but the money in their pockets is not enough. It seems that they can only continue to use rice buckets.
¡°This threshing machine is a bit expensive, but it can be used for many years, so it¡¯s worth it.¡±
"Jia Gui, can you tell your second brother that after your rice harvest is finished, you can rent this threshing machine to us?" At this time, someone suggested, "When it is used up, if it is empty, let it be rented to everyone." Using it can not only reduce everyone¡¯s labor intensity, but your family can also collect some rent.¡±
"Yes, we all come from the same ancestor. You can't just watch us use brute force to thresh the grains, right?" someone pleaded.
"I will discuss it with my second brother and the others." Li Jiagui also felt that this matter was reliable and planned to go back to discuss it with his second brother and niece. If possible, he would rent it to everyone for some days, so that everyone can save time and come early. After harvesting the early rice, plant the late rice into the fields.
As for free use, it is impossible. There are dozens of households in Wuliting Village, most of them are surnamed Li, and they are all from the same family. If you lend it to one, you have to lend it to another. One threshing machine cannot satisfy everyone's needs. Asking to borrow one thing or not will only offend others in the end, so this hole must not be opened.
At the same time, Kyoto also began to rob. Huangzhuang, Zhuangzi of Xunjun Prince's Mansion, and Zhuangzi of Xuanjun Prince's Mansion, as long as they produced rice, all were equipped with threshing machines.
These threshing machines also attracted the heads of farmers and tenant farmers in the surrounding farms. Everyone stopped to watch. When everyone saw that this thing could easily and quickly take off the rice from the seedlings, they could no longer sit still. Go back and report to the master as quickly as possible.
For a time, the threshing machine became a hot-selling product. The half-year inventory was sold out in a few days. There were also many orders that had to be delivered before the late rice was harvested. The employees in the workshop had to work overtime.
"That's right. I've recouped more than half of my investment in half a year. It's expected that I'll be able to recoup all of my investment in the fall. I didn't expect that a low-priced farm tool would have such a huge profit." The emperor looked at the discount coupons sent by Prince Xuan and said happily. .
"Because it is a farm tool, the sales volume is large. Although the profit is a little low, the small amount adds up to the big thing." Chu Yunhao said with a smile.
The cost of a threshing machine is about 800 cents. They wholesale it for 2 taels of silver and the terminal sales price is 2 taels of silver. The average farmer cannot afford it, but those small places will not be stingy with these few cents. Two silver coins.
¡°With this threshing machine, the harvesting speed of early rice is accelerated, and late rice can be planted into the fields earlier. It also greatly reduces the labor intensity of farmers. It really kills multiple birds with one stone.¡± The emperor nodded repeatedly.
"You have done great work again. The popularization of this threshing machine is also a good thing that benefits the country and the people." Seeing the effect of the threshing machine, the emperor thought about the self-ringing bell again, "Yun Hao, how are the preparations for the self-ringing bell workshop? ?¡±
"We are almost ready. We have hired a few craftsmen. Once the double robbery is completed, we will send someone to pick up Jing'an County Lord." Chu Yunhao gave a detailed report to the emperor about the Ziming Bell Workshop.
"Send a letter early so that she can prepare." The emperor nodded and said.
"I've already sent a letter."
Li Jingwen did receive a letter from Chu Yunhao. When she learned that the Ziming Bell Workshop was about to open, she packed up all the things she needed to bring, and made several pocket watches and wristwatches with Doudou, several of which were high-end. Very high.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?A real gold watch, except that the case is polished with crystal, the hands are made of pure silver, and are coated with fluorescent powder, everything else is made of pure gold, even the watch chain is pure gold, and the pocket watch The lid is also inlaid with high-quality gems, which looks magnificent, very gorgeous and high-end.
"Sister Jing, who are you going to give this thing to?" Doudou asked, looking at the watches in front of him.
"Mrs. Yun and her son each have one piece, the emperor and empress each have one piece, the empress dowager has one piece, and there is no one else." Li Jingwen pointed to the watch above and said.
"Don't you wear one yourself?"
"I'm not used to wearing a watch now. Besides, the watch is placed in space. When you want to check the time, you can just take it out and look at it. There is no need to wear it on your hand." Because there is a time difference between space and reality, they specially made one The special watch offsets the time difference, that is, if the block watch is placed in the space, Li Jingwen can also see the accurate time.
"What you're saying is that wearing too many things on your body is a burden, so it's better to be fresh and refreshed." Doudou nodded.
"Sister Jing, have your two threshing machines been rented to villagers?" Doudou asked, holding her chin.
"Well, the villagers are reluctant to buy a threshing machine. We have finished harvesting the rice and the threshing machine will be empty if it is empty. It is better to rent it to the villagers so that they can harvest the early rice and plant the late rice earlier. This way It can also establish a good relationship with the clan members." Li Jingwen nodded.
The rent for threshing wheat noodles is not expensive. It costs ten cents a day, which is not as much as a labor force. The villagers can accept it.
The threshing machine in Wuliting Village is rented out, and of course the threshing machine in Xiahe Village cannot be left empty. After all, I still have more than 30 acres of farmland there, and it is necessary to build good relationships with the local villagers.
"Doudou, you are going to Kyoto in a few days. Pack up all the harvested grain and sell it when you get there, so as not to take up space in the house." Li Jingwen warned.
"I know, it's all packed, but now is the time when new rice comes out, and the price of rice may not be as high as before." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
