Release that Witch Chapter 142: Track mine car

It has been more than half a month since the Longsong Stronghold was conquered, and the population and materials delivered by stronghold and Western Region Five Major Families are all in place.

Ministry of Agriculture After the formation was completed, the spring plowing of the new year finally started. Roland Groping the first step in farming technology. Serfs saw promotion to freemen The dawn of the sky, one by one, is working in full swing. The scene that requires the supervisor to push the whip to urge the serfs to work Scarlet Water River The south bank was almost extinct, and some serfs found that no one came to control themselves even if they were lazy -- Measured in the field with strange tools City Hall Officials say, feudal lord Don't care one or two farmland In the future, the serfs are going to cultivate for themselves in the future.

It is not that the quality of Ministry of Agriculture officials is so excellent and they have fully realized the principle of distribution according to work, but Roland requires them to repeat these contents to serfs. In order to strengthen the indoctrination effect and satisfy the prince's own feelings, the Scarlet Water River bank was also filled with red flags and raised banners saying that labor is the only way to get rich, labor glory, labor goes free, labor changes destiny, and other slogans.

Of course, these measures are not without objections. For example, Barov first stood up against it.

"Your Highness, you have no point in doing this. Most serfs are illiterate, so they don't care what is written on the banner. These people are foolish and ignorant. Sometimes the whip doesn't work, let alone look. Go up somehow. "

The answer of Roland is also very simple, "The banners are not for them."

"Why are you still doing these things?" Assistant Minister's expression at the time seemed quite confused.

"To shape a living example."

He never considers serfs to be stupid and untransformable. They are not educated, which does not mean that they have no ideas. Even dumb people will be driven by the * and interests. This is human nature. The repeated indoctrination of the -- Ministry of Agriculture commissioners seems to have little effect, but it will leave an introduction in their hearts, like a trickle, which will eventually merge into one. When the first batch of serfs were promoted to freemen, when they exchanged harvest crops for money, and bought high-quality clothing, exquisite food, and even a solid and warm brick house, the repeated slogans would suddenly become a reality, deeply Burned in their hearts.

As for the banners on the shore, they are shown to the townspeople after receiving universal education.

Relying on both hands to get rid of poverty and become a full member of Border Town, you may even surpass yourself as an indigenous people. This is the power of hard work.

Only by comparison can we feel the gap, and only by actively pursuing can the individual's efficiency be maximized.

...

Iron Head stands at the entrance of the mine, waiting for a new round of mining.

Since Months of Demons was scalded by high temperature steam and changed his face, he never dared to stand on this black machine nearby.

Fortunately, Border Town also has a kind lady like Nana. Iron Head touched her intact cheeks, and was very emotional. It was a blasphemy to suspect her that he was the minion of Devil. After the end of winter, he specifically mentioned two salted fish and a boar leg and went to Pine Family to apologize.

What made him even more surprised was that although Tigu Pine was a Viscount, he did not have the habit of noble likes to look at people with his nose, and generously accepted his apology. Iron Head felt for the first time that the original noble was not all cruel.

"Old Iron," a ash-covered miner ran out of the hole, "the rope is fastened."

"Yeah," he turned and shouted in the direction of steam engine, "Everyone stay away! Flach, raise the green lever, and then squeeze the red lever! If you make a mistake, I will screw your head down!"

"Relax, Old Iron, wrap it on me!" Flach answered loudly.

After sending Nail to participate in small town First Army, Iron Head changed to another person to operate steam engine. In the first few days, Flach often mistaken the order of lever, which caused the gas supply pipe to burst and not suffer from his fatness. Fortunately, His Highness the Prince did not care about this matter, not only sent people to replace damaged parts, but also did not fine them. -- originally Iron Head has prepared everyone to be fined for one month's salary.

With the opening of the air intake brake, the steam engine spews white air, the main wheel runs slowly, drives the winch, and stretches the twine straight.

"Everything cheers me up! Stare at the twine and watch carefully!" Iron Head yelled.

In addition to steam engine, the mining method of the mine has also changed.

His Highness the Prince ordered the craftsmen to cut pieces of wood into strips, connected in mining site from end to end, and then inserted into the wood under the two strips. At first glance, it looks like a grid composed of many woods.

His Royal Highness called it a wooden rail transportation system. It is a very round name. It doesn't look complicated, but it is matched with a special mine car. Hey! That's really a merry. Usually you need to carry the ore for three or four days, and connect several mining carts together, and steam engine can be pulled out in one breath.

Iron Head has specifically observed this kind of four-wheeled trailer running on wooden rails. Its whole body is made of iron. It can move on a narrow wooden bar without falling down. The key lies in its wheel --. Each small iron wheel has an enlarged rim on the inside, which firmly limits the minecart to the wooden rail. On the wheels is a boxy iron basin with curved grooves on the front and back, which can be strung in a line with hemp rope.

He couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of His Highness the Prince. Such a simple design can actually make mine transportation so easy. Before that, dragging these dead ore out of the mine is the most time-consuming and laborious task.

However, this system is not perfect. For example, just after the fifth day, two wooden rails were crushed, and then several of them were broken one after another. His Highness later improved after wrapping the tops of all the wooden rails with a sheet of iron sheet.

Besides, there was an accident of hemp rope rupture in the mine, and Iron Axe still feels worried. Originally, according to the regulations, only four mine carts were dragged at one time when the mine was transported out of the tunnel. On the day of the accident, the miners were greedy and connected all six mine carts together. As a result, the thick twine of the arm suddenly cracked and rebounded when it was halfway A scan of a guy standing beside Iron Head hit his arm in two, and his ribs were broken. The minecart slid down the track, knocked them down, and crushed an unlucky leg.

Fortunately, Iron Head knew what to do when he encountered such a thing. He immediately organized a man to transport the wounded to the house of Viscount Tigu. As long as there was no death on the spot, Miss Nana could make them recover as before.

"Old Iron, the car is out!" shouted the man staring at the entrance.

"Flach, shut down steam engine after ten minutes, pay attention to the order!" Iron Head commanded loudly.

"Oh!"

Four mining carts stopped slowly at the end of the wooden rails. He walked over to record the shipments and varieties. The stones of the first two carts are reddish brown, which is also the most produced -- iron ore stone in the mine. The yellow stone in the third car is yellow, and it should be a copper mine. When he saw the fourth car, he stunned. It seems that no such stones have appeared in the previous records: they are dark brown in color, and they are refracted in the sun. Metallic luster.

It is an unknown mineral species. Iron Head shook his head. The channels in Northern Slope Mine are criss-crossed, and he can often dig out something inexplicable. He drew a fork on the paper to send the ore to the yard. As to whether this pile of black stone will be sent into the furnace, it has nothing to do with him.
