Huo Chenan returned to his dormitory. Although he was a little drunk, he still forced himself to pick up the paper and pen.
Using the same three-view drawing method, a design drawing was soon completed.
Huo Chenan looked at the curved plow on the drawing with satisfaction. Since he found that there were very few oxen working in the farm, he has been trying to save manpower and improve labor efficiency.
When he found that farmers were still using straight plows, the idea of the curved plow appeared in his mind.
Compared with the previous plows, the curved plow has several major improvements. The first is to change the straight and long plows to curved and short plows, and install a freely rotating plow disc at the plow head, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also makes it easier to turn around and turn, flexible to operate, and saves manpower and animal power.
In this way, one person can cultivate 2-3 more acres of land a year instead of 10 acres. This is the visible increase in benefits.
After completing the design of the curved plow, Huo Chenan did not rest. With a playful smile on his lips, he started sketching on the paper again.
…
Early the next morning, Huo Chenan brought the drawings to his farm.
After seeing Huo Chenan's drawings, Song Yingxing was also deeply impressed by the three-view expression method.
"Wonderful, wonderful, this way you can describe all the directions of the object clearly, and then mark the size on it. What a wonderful idea, sir, you are really a god."
Huo Chenan waved his hand and said, "Look at how long it takes to make these two things."
Song Yingxing observed carefully again after hearing this, and he was not calm again.
"Sir, if my guess is correct, this is a plow for farming, right?" Song Yingxing said excitedly while holding the first design drawing.
Huo Chenan's design is very different from the plows he has seen, but from the design point of view, this plow should be much more time-saving and labor-saving than the plows currently used in farming.
If it is really made, it will be a farm tool that benefits the country and the people, and Song Yingxing will also be remembered in history. Thinking of this, his hands holding the blueprint trembled a little.
Huo Chenan smiled and said, "This is called a curved plow, which can save a lot of manpower and livestock when farming."
Song Yingxing was even more excited when he got Huo Chenan's affirmative answer.
But when he saw the second picture, he was stunned. He could understand every piece, but he didn't know what it was used for.
"What is the second picture for, sir?" Song Yingxing asked.
"You don't need to ask more, but just see how long it takes." Huo Chenan replied.
Song Yingxing hesitated and said, "The second picture can be completed today, but the curved plow will take at least three days."
Huo Chenan nodded and said, "Just follow the blueprint, and you will be rewarded if you do it well."
"Thank you, sir." Song Yingxing thanked.
Huo Chenan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can you still contact fellow disciples of the Mohist School? If anyone is willing to come to my Huo family farm, they will get five stones of grain per month like you."
Song Yingxing clasped his fists and said, "There are a few brothers and sisters. I will write to them immediately, but I dare not guarantee whether they can come."
Huo Chenan patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Do your best and leave it to fate. If you get it, I'm lucky. If you lose it, it's my fate."
Then Huo Chenan and Song Yingxing had a detailed discussion on the design content of the two drawings. Song Yingxing is indeed a disciple of the Mohist School. He is extremely proficient in the design of utensils. He not only understands the design ideas of the curved plow, but also proposes several improvement plans, which makes Huo Chenan look at him with new eyes.
When leaving his farm, Huo Chenan saw a few farmers on a flat ground outside the farm, consolidating the foundation. This is the site of the future county school.
But now he has not prepared anything for stone and wood, which makes Huo Chenan feel overwhelmed. It is really too difficult for him to be alone.
Zhang San is currently sorting out the accounts at the Su family farm, and he doesn't want the Su family to know his identity as a county man.
His other assistant Qin Wushuang needs to take care of the wine business.
He can only go to Wang Lao's house and Li Lao's house to beg for money.
Huo Chenan was walking back with his head shaking, and a man dressed as a servant stopped him.
"Excuse me, is this Huo Chenan, Mr. Huo?"
Huo Chenan had no impression of this servant, and he answered: "No, I am Mr. Huo's assistant Zhang San. What do you want to talk to Mr. Huo about? I can tell him for you."
The servant was obviously stunned. He had seen Huo Chenan before. After all, he was the one who went to the Su family to deliver the visiting card last time. At that time, Huo Chenan personally handed over the visiting card. If he remembered correctly, it was the man in front of him.
He did not hesitate too much. He took out a delicate visiting card from his bosom and handed it to Huo Chenan, saying: "My lady, Miss Mudan, invites Mr. Huo to come to Mudan Tower tonight for a chat."
"It turned out to be Miss Mudan," Huo Chenan understood, and said: "Please go back and tell Miss Mudan that Mr. Huo will definitely go tonight."
The servant couldn't help but joked: "Mr. Zhang San, why don't you go back and ask Mr. Huo's opinion first?"
Huo Chenan couldn't help but blush and said: "Don't worry, I will tie him up even if I have to."
"Then I will go back and report." The servant said goodbye with a smile.
Huo Chenan then ran to Mr. Wang and asked him to help buy some wood and stone for the construction of the county school.
Mr. Wang naturally agreed to this matter that was beneficial to the people.
After leaving Mr. Wang's farm, Huo Chenan looked at the time and it was almost time to rush to Jinling City, otherwise he would not be able to enter the city after dark.
...
There are countless brothels on both sides of the Qinhuai River.
But the most popular brothel this year must be Mudan Building.
Just as the former Hongxiu Pavilion was in the limelight because of the existence of Wushuang Girl, Mudan Building is also in the limelight because of the existence of Mudan Girl.
This is the so-called celebrity effect.
Huo Chenan walked on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and the girls in the brothel cast flirtatious glances at this handsome little servant from time to time.
The bolder ones went up and hugged Huo Chenan's arms, rubbing his arms with their plump chests.
"Oh, whose little servant are you? You look so cute. Come to me, I will be very caring."
"Look at your coquettish look. Don't scare this handsome boy. Come to me, I don't want you to pay."
No money? Then you can get it for free? But when Huo Chenan saw the thick foundation on the face of the brothel girl, sifting down the face, he instantly gave up the idea of getting it for free.
"Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Great Dharma Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita, why don't you reveal yourself soon, evildoer?" Huo Chenan chanted silently in his heart, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
