Chapter 119 Song’s own black technology

Hachiko was particularly fond of girls. He was busy giving them red paper, scissors, and paste. He was always smiling. No matter what ugly things Shi Weisu and the others cut out, they always said they looked good.

In Hachigong's heart, a prosperous family is the greatest blessing. Having this is a hundred times better than having good food and clothing.

Su You had no intention of focusing on that. He was working with Ishitomi Shitong to build tools for drilling wells.

The names of artesian wells, tribute wells, and Shenhai wells in later generations are well known to the world, but what many people don’t know is that the “Zhuo Tushu Well”, which can be called a black technology in the history of Chinese drilling, was actually developed in Meishan Well and was developed by a group of people.

Private salt dealers who fled from Yizhou in the north made it secretly in the wilderness.

Shi Fu looked at the drawings, stroking his beard and frowning: "Xiaoyou, you guys, how big is the well head you drilled?"

Su You gestured with his hand, it was as wide as a porcelain basin: "So big!"

Then under Shi Fu's disdainful gaze, he slowly narrowed his mouth: "Uh... so... big..."

Shi Fu was angry: "You big-headed ghost! You are almost like fighting a bowl!"

Su Younan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how big or small a well is. If you dig such a big well, the brine will come out by itself..."

Shi Fu's eyes widened: "What a liar! Do you think you are the reincarnation of the Salt God?!"

Su You said: "Brother, you are just talking in layman's terms. The Yun'an Army in Kuizhou has a salt god named Fan Kuai, a general of the Western Han Dynasty. According to legend, he was hunting in Yun'an and saw a white rabbit, and followed it to find brine;"

"The Zhongzhou Salt Well is the name of Yang Zhen, the governor of Jingzhou in the Han Dynasty. He tried to trace the river to Zhongzhou, rested at Nancheng Temple, saw a white deer drinking from the spring, and said: 'The treasure is here.' The natives dug the rock from the place pointed out, and

Get the salt spring."

"The salt god of Funiu Mountain is Ma Yuan, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the past, Ma Yuan conquered the Wuling barbarians and stationed his troops at the foot of Funiu Mountain. There are four areas of Yanjing on the left and right of the mountain. Because Ma Yuan conquered the Wuxi barbarians, he stationed his troops here.

He was worshiped as the local salt god."

"In our Meizhou, there is an ancient legend that the Twelve Jade Girls helped Zhang Tianshi dig a well. Therefore, all the salt gods are either famous ministers or generals. However, my Meizhou Salt God is a woman!"

Shi Fu waved his hand: "I just like to remember all the weird things! Stop talking about it. We used to have big wells. Why did you open such a small well?"

Su You said: "I also want to open a big well, but the labor is too expensive!"

Shi Fudu laughed angrily: "How expensive can it be? The mouth of the well is only one foot long, but it's not much."

"Uh... I want to dig this well. It's quite deep and it will cost money."

"How deep?"

"Thirty to sixty feet, about one or two hundred meters."

"How much...how much?" Shi Fu was dumbfounded.

Su You explained: "Brother, is the Well Well famous? However, since the Han Dynasty, the salt springs have dried up and the water potential has been low. Everyone knows this. The reason why such deep wells are built is not for one generation or two.

People, after ten or twenty years of hunting, this will be the eternal benefit of our Jiangqing family!"

After saying that, he took out a set of drawings: "Look, this is the drawing I drew. This is called the crane, which is the derrick used for brine mining. This is the sky and earth roller, which is actually the pulley block in the preliminary physics. It can save half the power.

, this is a large land vehicle, which can use animal power to twist the rope. I also added pawls. Every time it goes around half a circle, the pawls will automatically release, and the big file tied to the rope will fall due to gravity, completing an excavation.

It saves much time and effort than using manpower..."

"Look, this is the equipment for filing wells. This is the fishtail file, the silver ingot file, the God of Wealth file, the single horseshoe file, the double horseshoe file..."

"This is a scraper, a five-strand beard, a swallower, a mud fan, a sickle sweeper, and a closed-mouth urger... They are used to salvage tools and mud stones..."

"Look at this drawing again. These are the barrels, the pipes, the brine drying platform, and the brine truck... These are used to transport and store the brine..."

"This is the flow chart of the well opening process that I drew. It generally includes opening the well head, setting the stone circle, cutting the big opening, cutting the wood and bamboo, cutting the small opening and fanning the mud..."

"This is the salt production process flow chart I drew. Using this method, we can maximize the use of firepower and increase production..."

A brief explanation and more than a dozen drawings of tools, processes, and procedures made Shi Fu dizzy: "How many days have it been? You have thought of so many things in your mind?"

Su You rolled up the drawings and said: "If you don't want to do it, then I will dedicate this set of drawings to the imperial court. I believe there will always be people who believe in me. Please give it a try..."

Shi Fu was so frightened that he snatched the drawings away: "How dare you! You have to wait until we make a fortune!"

Su You chuckled and said, "How can you be so arrogant at first and then so respectful later?"

Shi Fu said plausibly: "I'm not respectful! I snatched it from you!"

After speaking, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Even if you didn't believe it before, you believe it now... This is your most favorite set of drawings, right? Then we'll start work now!"

This is a character developed through previous achievements. Only Shi Tong was still pouring cold water: "Now the salt is produced in official wells. If we buy it, the output won't be too high, right?"

Su You guaranteed: "As long as the government allows us to find the well on our own, it will be easy. I will take care of this!"

The Fourth Road Salt Administration has been somewhat neglected. The shallow salt spring resources in Dakoujing have been depleted, taxes are heavy, and salt workers have fled. Next, the Transportation Department will begin to rectify and reorganize production.

Four of them allow the purchase of wellheads and allow the people to make their own smelting, which will become a court law, and the new Zhuotong well brine extraction method will be widely used. Around the official wells, thousands of private wells will soon appear, pushing Sichuan salt production to a

New peak!

Jingyan is less than a hundred miles away from Meishan.

Well means salt well; grinder means research and show, which means exquisiteness.

Now it is not a county, it is called Lingjing, but in the future it will have a beautiful name, Xianjingjian.

It is located above a large salt mine. During the Han Dynasty, people were mining here to extract brine.

Su You's heart was filled with excitement, Dahongjing, Wulongjing, here I come!

Can a man with a penny be a hero? In history, Su Shi suffered the loss of having no money and was severely framed.

Zhang Fangping was a dignified minister of state affairs. In Su You's mind, he was one of the few economists and savvy people in the Song Dynasty. Why did he leave Beijing in such a hurry and be demoted to a foreign post?

It wasn't because the imperial censor impeached him that he bought a property from a businessman at a low price, which was a disguised form of accepting bribes.

This thing can't happen to me!

The key is that the location of these two wells is very special. Even in the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, Su You was confident of finding them.

From now on, I will live on a pile of money, and I will wake up laughing even when I fall asleep!

"Hello?! Why are you so stupid?" Shi Fu's voice woke him up.

Su You quickly wiped his saliva and said, "Come on, let's get started!"

A file weighs more than eighty kilograms, just like a large iron drill used for siege vehicles.

Some are like shovels, some are like horseshoes, some are like conches...

Use good steel on the blade, this is the Shi family's style, and Su You can't let it be spoiled. The fine steel he refined can only be used on the file head.

With the forging machine and the craftsmanship of the Shi family, the well file adopts the split technology. Shi Fu personally made the file head on the forging machine, with the iron sand team helping. Shi Tong was responsible for the file body, and the people from the Tao Mei team assisted in pouring it.

That's called rapid progress.

As for Suyou, another tool was developed using a saw machine: a rope-making machine.

It sounds fancy, but it's actually very simple. It's just three disks distributed in an equilateral triangle.

The discs are fixed on the wooden frame and driven by belts to rotate together.

Each disc has a rope shaft with a rope wrapped around it.

First, lay out the three ropes for about ten meters, then fix the end on the plate to the iron hook in the center of the rope shaft, and tie the other ends together and fix them at a distance.

When the three disks rotate, they will cause the three ropes to tighten clockwise at the same time. A person stands at the far joint of the three ropes and uses a Y-shaped wooden angle to separate the three ropes.

When the rope is tightened to a certain extent, and the person takes a step forward, behind the Y-shaped wooden corner, the three ropes will automatically wrap together and become one rope.

When people walked to the rope-making machine, they got about ten meters of three-strand rope. Then they repeated the process just now, and the rope was made ten meters long.

Hemp rope is easy to fly, but water glass is used to solve this problem in textiles. The texture of hemp and cotton threads soaked in water glass will become denser, which is conducive to weaving. This is an old method used by later generations.

Therefore, the strength of the hemp rope made by this method is more than one or two grades higher than the double-stranded handmade hemp rope commonly used in the Song Dynasty.

However, this workload is also very heavy. A lot of ropes are needed to tie the overhead crane, lift the well files, and the well shaft.
