The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

　　 Regarding William's high salary to the villagers, Old John has lost the mood to argue with William. He spent all his energy on the identification and supervision of the limestone or clay sent by the villagers.

　　Insufficient weight, deduct money!

　　 The clay is not red enough, deduct money!

　　 The basket is not full enough, deduct money!

　　……

　　 Old John tried every means to save William's money, but he still couldn't avoid the piles of clay and limestone. It was still unavoidable that William's Poole coins were declining day by day.

　　 In ten days of work, William’s vault paid more than eight Pis gold coins.

　　 Even if the villagers buy baskets and dustpans from William because of demand, the income is far less than the expenses.

　　 This made Old John's face darker and darker.

　　 But at this time, an inevitable event finally happened!

A large number of scattered baskets appeared in the small village of 　　 Nisai.

　　 Because it was filled with soil or limestone, especially limestone, for a long time, and moved around, the basket bears too much weight, resulting in a loose structure, and finally it can't support it and breaks apart.

And the baskets in the village have been bought by the crazy villagers, and the golden grasses nearby have also been pulled out. We can only wait for the spring flowers to bloom in the coming year, but at this time, without the golden grasses, naturally no new baskets will appear. .

　　 And this means that when the last batch of baskets are also destroyed, the villagers will no longer be able to "move bricks"!

　　 This matter is very serious, and the villagers are very anxious, so they report to William.

　　 William was also very melancholy. The current amount of clay and limestone simply cannot meet the requirements for building walls!

　　 He needs more clay and limestone, so the work of "moving bricks" cannot be stopped, not only cannot be stopped, but the efficiency is even higher!

　　 William used to focus on training the guards. The work of clay and limestone was given to Old John, so he didn't know much about it.

　　 When he saw the amount of clay and limestone shipped from the village, William was desperate in his heart.

　　 At this rate, even if the Luokung problem is solved, the wall can only be built in the year of the monkey?

　　 So William locked himself in the earthen hut, pondered for a whole night, and finally figured out a way.

He called for the carpenter in the village, the handy Merton, and called the old carpenter Charles. In the collection of the handy Merton, he chose a log with a breast diameter of about 60 cm, and cut a cross section into a Make the wooden wheel as flat as possible.

A round hole was dug in the middle of the wooden wheel, and a hard wooden axle was inserted. The two sides of the wooden axle were spliced ​​with a car plate made of wooden boards. The joints were nailed and fixed with iron nails. Iron products purchased from Patras It just came in handy.

　　 On both sides of the other end of the car, a stick is attached to each as a handle of the car, which is also fixed with iron nails.

　　 On top of the axle, several beams were nailed to surround the three sides of the car, so that it can easily hold the cargo without letting the cargo fall from the car.

　　 In this way, a rough, simple wheelbarrow was completed, and it took less than a candle to burn.

　　 When the results were presented in front of Merton and Charles, they both looked surprised, and still don't believe that such a wheelbarrow can be used daily!

　　 Because in their perception, a car that needs to be loaded must have at least two wheels, many of which have four wheels, so that the goods can run steadily.

　　 One wheel, I'm afraid that if it can't carry many things, the whole wheelbarrow will fall apart.

　　 Facing the suspicion of the two carpenters, William spoke directly with the facts, and directly put four baskets of limestone on the wheelbarrow, so that the old and frail Charles took the wheelbarrow around the village.

　　 Charles pulled up the wheelbarrow with an uneasy mood, and the wheel ran over the ground of the small village of Nisai, making a crunching noise, which attracted the attention of many villagers.

Charles originally imagined panting and even weakness in his hands and feet did not happen at all. He did not take much effort at all. He calmly pulled four baskets of limestone and wandered around the village at will, just like the floats held by the nobles in Sale. If he didn't hear the crunching and unpleasant sound, it would feel even better.

　　 It’s just harder when going up the slope. But this is just a trivial question.

　　The villagers all understand.

　　 There is no doubt that the emergence of the wheelbarrow has been sought after by the villagers of Nisai Village.

　　 Even the most stupid and stingy villagers have seen its potential.

　　 It is more labor-saving and faster. You can run two or three more times in the previous run.

　　 It carries more cargo, four times as much as before.

　　 The gains from this will be unimaginable before.

William directly set the charter with Merton and Charles. The wheelbarrow sells for three silver francs. He personally receives 1 silver franc and 50 pools. This is the intellectual property compensation of the inventor. Charles and Merton each It is fifty pools of copper coins, which are the remuneration of the working people, and the remaining fifty pools of copper coins are for materials.

　　 The iron nails were provided by William. Although the amount was very small, William still drew ten of the fifty Poole coins.

　　The remaining 40 Poole coins are the cost of wood.

　　The rules have been set, so let's start!

　　 Charles and Merton worked together to make 15 unicycles in a few days.

　　 The villagers have made a lot of money from William during this period, and each household still has a few silver francs in their hands.

As soon as the fifteen wheelbarrows were completed, they were bought by the villagers who were guarding the door "extremely". Then, in the jealous eyes of other villagers, they pulled the wheelbarrow to the foot of Cordillera to pull the clay, or to the dark forest. The cave is filled with limestone.

When the other villagers returned to the village with a basket of limestone, those "local tyrants" who had wheelbarrows had already gone back and forth twice, and even three times were diligent. Each trip started with four baskets, and the "local tyrants" pulled It was easy, and the damage to the basket was minimal, because the weight was borne by the wooden boards and wheels.

　　 When he could only get 1 Poole Copper Coin, other villagers had already got 8 Poole Copper Coins, and even more 12 Poole Copper Coins.

　　The villagers will compare themselves.

　　 The result of the comparison is that the villagers who don't have cars are crazy. They don't dare to be presumptuous to the lord William, but they surrounded the home of Merton the carpenter's skillful hand.

　　 Merton and Charles fell into painful joy, and they barely took a rest to "serve the people"!

　　 Merton’s original storage of several logs were completely consumed, but only 10 more wheelbarrows were made.

　　 10 wheelbarrows were bought in an instant, and some villagers even went to Merton's door to martial arts in order to buy a wheelbarrow!

　　 finally attracted the guards.

　　The guards were wearing uniform uniforms, holding a wooden shield in their left hand and a long sword in their right. They just stood there, and an awe-inspiring power rose.

　　 The villagers did not dare to treat him as a teenage boy, especially Jacques Potter among them.

　　 The two villagers who fought were taken away by the guards without any resistance and brought to William.

　　 William couldn’t help shaking his head after listening, what a shit!

　　 But William did not intend to build his territory into a distribution according to the trouble.

　　 He directly asked the guards to punish them in accordance with the first statute of the Dicas Territory, with ten blows, and showed them for one day. He also added a penalty regulation and fined 1 franc silver coin.

　　 If whipping is the pain in the body, then the fine is the pain in their soul.

　　Especially after the pain in the soul and the body, the wheelbarrow did not reach their hands. Instead, it was obtained by another lucky villager. This is to make matters worse and sprinkle salt on the wound!

　　 The other villagers looked distressed, but soon they became involved in making money.

　　 25 wheelbarrows cannot meet the growing cultural and material needs of Nisai Village, so the work of Merton and Charles continues.

　　Without the logs, they took 40 Poole coins as employment fees, and hired a few villagers to go into the forest to cut trees, and only cut down the big trees with a diameter of 50 cm or more.

　　 It takes only half a day for one person to cut a tree, plus cleaning up the branches, and most of the day is spent on it.

　　With the logs, Charles and Merton’s work can continue. New wheelbarrows are made and sold to the villagers.

　　Each wheelbarrow William can draw 1 silver franc, and ten wheelbarrows have a Pisg gold coin. These are all collected by Old John.

　　 The high income makes Old John rarely smile.

　　 But soon, the steady stream of limestone and clay robbed him of a large amount of copper and silver coins, and Old John's face sank again.

　　 Ten days later, almost every villager in Nisai Village has a wheelbarrow, and some of the more affluent even own two or three wheelbarrows.

　　 The “cars” that go to and from the foot of Cordillera Mountain, Nisai Village, and the dark forest caves are endless, crunching sounds endlessly, and occasionally there is the sound of loud training from the guards.

　　 The expressions of the villagers are full of vigor, while the expressions of Old John are dark.

　　The continuous shipment of limestone has been piled into a hill, and the clay piled at the mouth of the village is even higher than the other.

　　 Under such circumstances, the autumn wind blew up, and the harvest agreement came quietly.
