Chapter 264: Inventing the Wheelchair
The reason why Ang Lee's life has become very beautiful is because of his own hard work, if it weren't for the meritorious service for Datang again and again, it would be impossible to get such treatment, let alone know his life experience. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, Ang Li is very satisfied with his life, but he will not be satisfied with the status quo, it is still the old saying, since he has come to the world of Datang, he must always use the knowledge he has mastered to bring some benefits to Datang and benefit the people of Datang.
Before evening, Zhao Liu returned to the mansion from outside the city, and reported the situation of the greenhouse to Li An in detail, due to Li An's careful arrangement, all the greenhouses were planted with vegetable seedlings, and the progress was very good, without any accidents.
However, the scale of the 500-acre greenhouse is very large, and the greenhouse needs more care than the open land, so it is urgent to further increase the coolie.
Now, there are only 20 male servants left behind in the greenhouse, and the pressure of letting 20 people take care of 500 acres of vegetable fields can be imagined.
If it is open land, it is not much of a problem to grow wheat, after all, according to the policy of Datang, an adult man can obtain 100 acres of land, which is enough to show that an adult man can be competent for the cultivation of 100 acres of land.
But those are food crops that don't need to be taken care of, and for vegetables, an adult man will definitely not be able to take care of so many acres, and Li An's land is still a vegetable greenhouse, which requires a greater amount of labor than ordinary vegetable fields, so that one person is responsible for ten acres of greenhouses, the pressure is already very great.
When Zhao Liu actually instructed the male servants to work, he had already realized the hard work of taking care of the vegetable seedlings, and with the current twenty male servants, taking care of five hundred acres of land, the pressure was too great, so he immediately suggested to Li An and asked Li An to recruit more servants.
Moreover, these servants are not only responsible for taking care of the vegetable seedlings, they can also act as security guards when they are free, patrolling the wooden fence area of the territory to prevent idlers from breaking in, in addition, there are some groceries that they need to do in their free time, in short, even if they buy more male servants, they will definitely not lose.
"Ah Lang, it should be okay to buy thirty more male servants with good physical strength, and in addition, these fifty male servants must be managed by a leader, so that they can work better."
Zhao Liu gave his own advice.
Li An nodded and said, "Okay, then buy thirty male servants, and this matter will be left to you, as for the leader, do you have a candidate?" ”
"Ah Lang, I have a hometown, and I am very clever, so I can do this."
"Okay, it's decided, you go and arrange it!"
"Yes, Aaron,"
Zhao Liu responded and asked, "Ah Lang, the Shangyuan Festival is coming, when will our rocking chair be listed." ”
"Oh, how many are there now?"
"Back to Ah Lang, as of now, it has exceeded a thousand."
"It's all so much, it's time to go public."
Li An felt that the time had come to bring rocking chairs to the market, and said with a straight face: "There are many nobles in the East Market, and it is a good place to sell rocking chairs. ”
"Yes, Ah Lang, I'll go and prepare."
Zhao Liu answered and went to prepare.
During this period of time, Li An is recruiting people and buying various items, and the money is really spent a lot, although the sale of bean sprouts has recovered a part, but the expenditure is still greater than the income, and now is the time to sell these rocking chairs, after all, the fifty-acre scale of the courtyard needs a lot of money support, and having money in your hands is the king, and the money in this era is hard currency, not paper money that will depreciate in later generations.
Ang Lee's furniture processing factory has been moved fifteen miles outside the city, but the R&D base is still in the big backyard, and for the convenience of the craftsmen's residence, several large rooms have been built and blacksmiths have been invited.
In the evening, Li Ang went to the big backyard, first went to the vegetable greenhouse, saw that the diluted vegetables grew better, and was in a good mood, and then went to the big house next to him to see how the craftsmen had developed it.
"How's it going, how are you doing?"
As soon as Li An entered the big house, he greeted.
"General Li, the chair you want has been made, take a look."
It took a lot of effort for several craftsmen to make the guy on Ang Lee's drawings, which can be described as a lot of hardship.
"It's done, it's great, come on, let me try."
Li An asked them to make a wheelchair, although normal people do not need to use wheelchairs, but there are people with inconvenient legs and feet in any era, so wheelchairs are still very marketable, and wheelchairs can move by themselves, so that people with bad legs and feet can also move simply, so that people with bad legs and feet can also move simply, so that they will greatly reduce their dependence on others, and will also make people with bad legs and feet feel better.
The two large wheels and the two small wheels of the wheelchair are made of wood, but the rotating hinge part is made of brass, which is also standard for all vehicles in this era, and under normal circumstances, there will be no surprises.
It's just that Ang Lee asked the craftsmen to make the wheels with an extra circle of sheepskin, so that the contact between the wheels and the ground will become softer, and the movement will be more comfortable and labor-saving.
In addition, the two small wheels in front of it are equipped with steering devices, and this device is not too easy for craftsmen in this era, so it took some time, but it was still made, which made Li Ang very happy, and at the same time, it also made these craftsmen feel very satisfied.
And Ang Lee had already signed an agreement with these craftsmen before they developed wheelchairs, and they would be responsible for their future livelihood and let their families have no worries about food and clothing, but they must keep it secret and serve Ang Lee all the time, otherwise it would be a breach of contract, so Ang Lee is not worried that this technology will leak out.
Of course, the scientific and technological content of wheelchairs is not high, as long as outsiders study a little, after a period of exploration and experimentation, they can still be mastered, but it takes some time.
Li An sat in the wheelchair steadily, felt that it was relatively strong, paused for a moment, held the handwheel rim with both hands, and pushed the wheelchair to move back and forth indoors, which felt really good.
"Okay, very good, this wheelchair can already be used, tonight, each person will be rewarded with three catties of mutton, in addition, you have to continue to research, make the wheelchair stronger and more beautiful, if you have any good suggestions, feel free to report to me, as long as it is reasonable, I will support you."
Li An was overjoyed and gave these craftsmen an extra three catties of mutton to encourage them to make persistent efforts.
"General Xie Li, General Xie Li."
All the craftsmen were overjoyed and thanked Ang Lee again and again.
Li Ang couldn't put it down, he pushed the wheelchair out, he wanted to play with this new guy in the large open space in the big backyard.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
Yan Ruyu took a nap in the room in the afternoon, and at this moment, accompanied by Cao'er, she walked to the big backyard, and she naturally rushed here because she knew that Li An was here.
Last night, I was taking a bath in the bathroom again, and it was popping, Yan Ruyu's body felt very tired, and she didn't recover after a night, so she took a nap after noon to recover her strength.
There is no such thing as being tired of being newly married, Li An saw Yan Ruyu walking gracefully and walking towards him step by step, his heart was already happy, and he quickly got up and said, "Madam, why are you up, you don't sleep for a while." ”
Seeing that Li An felt so sorry for herself, Yan Ruyu's heart was naturally very sweet, and she smiled and said, "Husband, it's already dark, do you want me to sleep until tomorrow morning?" ”
"Madam, isn't your husband afraid that you are too tired? Only by resting more can you be in good spirits, and you can give birth to a big fat boy for your husband as soon as possible, haha! ”
Ang Lee said excitedly.
"Husband, you're here again, I hate it."
Yan Ruyu glanced at Li An, touched the wheelchair beside Li An, and asked curiously: "Husband, what is this, it seems to be a chair, but how can there be two big, two small and four wheels?" What is this for? ”
At this moment, Yan Ruyu is like a little girl who is curious about anything new, looking at the wheelchair in front of her with big eyes and a spirit of exploration.
Li An held Yan Ruyu's shoulders, put Yan Ruyu on the wheelchair, and said softly: "Lift your feet, put your feet on the pedals, yes, yes, that's it, okay." ”
"Husband, I understand, this chair is equipped with wheels and can be moved at will, so that if my husband pushes me, I can play in this yard."
Yan Ruyu sat in a wheelchair and immediately understood the purpose of the wheelchair, and was very happy about it.
Li An gently stroked Yan Ruyu's forehead, and said: "My wife is really smart enough, that's right, this chair with wheels is called a wheelchair, which is specially used for moving, come, let the husband push you and play in the yard." ”
"It's fun, husband, it's really fun! It's so fun, haha! ”
Yan Ruyu sat comfortably in a wheelchair, being pushed around by Ang Li, of course it was comfortable, but the purpose of inventing the wheelchair was not to play for people with good legs and feet.
"Madam, this wheelchair is not for people with normal legs and feet, it is specially used for people with bad legs, you see, there is also a handwheel here?"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Hand rings, husband, what is this for?"
Li An let go of the wheelchair and said softly: "Madam, you put your hands on the handwheels, yes, that's it, push hard, yes, push hard." ”
"Husband, this wheelchair is really easy to use, you can actually push it yourself."
Yan Ruyu only used a lot of strength to make the wheelchair move on its own, which made her excited, and immediately understood the huge role of the wheelchair.
"Husband, if you are a person with inconvenient legs and feet, you can move by yourself in this wheelchair, which is really convenient, husband, how did you come up with this thing."
At this moment, Yan Ruyu admires Ang Li very much, and always feels that her husband is so good that he can actually think of inventing a wheelchair, which she could never have imagined no matter what.
Li An smiled, touched Yan Ruyu's little belly, and said softly: "My husband has been thinking, if my wife has a baby in her belly, it must be very inconvenient to walk, how can I let my wife come out to see the scenery conveniently?" Thinking about it......"
"My husband thought of inventing the wheelchair for me, is that really the case?"
Yan Ruyu looked at Ang Li with a touched face, she actually stupidly thought that Ang Lee really thought of inventing a wheelchair for her.
Li An said with a sincere face: "As long as I can make my wife happy, it is the greatest happiness of my life." ”
"Husband."
Yan Ruyu was moved for a while, and threw herself into Ang Lee's arms regardless of the occasion, and even her eyes were a little moist.
Ang Lee was very excited, and if he made a joke, he could make his wife believe it, and the girls in this era were too easy to coax and too easy to be moved.
Thinking back to my girlfriend in my previous life, my eyes were really full of tears! The girls of that era were really difficult to serve, not gentle, not virtuous, and extremely hot-tempered, if they accidentally said the wrong word, they would not let it, no matter what sweet words they adopted, they would not have the slightest effect, it would simply drive people crazy.
If you meet the old demon girl, it will be even worse, even if you dig out your heart and say the most sincere words, the old demon girl will only disdain to say, who to lie? Tender cucumbers like you, the old lady has seen a lot, and she stays where it is cool.
In short, the reason why Ang Lee was a complete bachelor in his previous life was not that he was too stupid, but that the little demon girls of that era had been spoiled by those guys who liked to kneel and lick, and always thought that he was a princess and a high empress, you must surrender, you must kneel, otherwise it will be all kinds of coquettishness, all kinds of unreasonable trouble, and you will never give up if you don't toss to death.
At this moment, Ang Lee really feels sad for those friends in his previous life, they are still enduring all kinds of torture, but Ang Lee can comfortably enjoy it in the era of Datang.
Gently stroking Yan Ruyu's pink face, Li An whispered in his ear: "Madam, tonight, my husband will spoil you well." ”
"Husband, I hate it."
Yan Ruyu reprimanded Li An, but from her gentle expression, it can be seen that she is very willing in her heart, how can she be unhappy if she can get the love of her husband?
Li An exhaled and hugged Yan Ruyu in his arms tighter.
After dinner, Ang Li took Yan Ruyu to take a turn in the vegetable greenhouse in the big backyard to admire the green vegetables, and then returned to the bedroom to rest.
The promise made must be fulfilled, this night, Ang Lee gently doted on Yan Ruyu, because each other is extremely sincere, so it feels quite good, it is a real fusion of mind and body.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Liu personally led a team to transport the first batch of fifty rocking chairs to Dongshi, ready to officially start sales.
Before they left, Ang Lee made a special explanation, asking them to put rocking chairs on the street for passers-by to experience for themselves, and it was a free experience. (To be continued.) )
