I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 290 Chapter 290
When Wang Ge first saw the copper caliper, he thought about changing the vernier caliper.During the Mang Dynasty, someone designed the ruler as a combination of a "fixed ruler" and a "movable ruler", and the shape that can be clamped and inner diameter measured by moving through the guide groove has crossed a key step in the concept.

Then she might as well advance her ideas on this step!
Yes, just ideas.

Wang Ge is self-aware that she cannot make precise vernier calipers with her ability.In other words, even if it takes time to make, no one agrees that this kind of marking is the most accurate.The reform of the measurement method of "degree" must go through thousands of measurements and comparisons, report the test results, and then implement it to the local government.

The first step in production, of course, is to improve the structure of the measuring claws and separate the functions of internal measurement, external measurement, and depth, instead of only relying on the movement of the "movable ruler".

The second step is to mark the precise line segment.As a craftsman in Dajin, the self-reliant ability is the strong visual inspection ability, and the length of less than "fen" depends on the craftsman's visual inspection.What if there is an error?It doesn't matter, one is that the error will not be large, and the other is that the weapons and agricultural equipment made by the craftsman do not need to be so precise at all.

Anyway, for all the rulers and squares Wang Ge has seen so far, the minimum unit of length is cents (0.242 cm).

There is no urgent need for precision, which may be the reason why "degree" measuring tools have not improved after the appearance of copper calipers.

Closer to home.

Change the caliper?The artisans at the same bureau didn't take Wang Ge's words at ease, but they still gave her an idea: "Allow me to apply for the county competition test once a month. If you have an idea, don't delay, and apply for improved equipment." It was approved. Afterwards, the assessment venue will be arranged in our shop, and familiarity with the venue will naturally facilitate the assessment.

Wang Ge smiled shyly: "I have already applied for it." The application was for an improved stove.

The double-acting piston bellows can appear in advance.

county office.

There are only three officials in charge of the carpenter's affairs.

Jiang officials are in charge of the state-level competitions, including the application and approval of the counties, townships, and craftsmen's factories, the cost estimation, the arrangement of the location of the venue, the number of inspected craftsmen, the number of tour officers, township soldiers, and servants and concubines. Auxiliary arrangement, transportation allocation of material tools, etc.

The official who has registered with Wang Ge is responsible for the management of carpenters in other counties, such as the replacement and cancellation of permanent residence status, the long and short-term classification of official deeds after collection, the discovery and recommendation of talented craftsmen, etc.

The youngest song official is in charge of carpenters in the county. The most cumbersome task of his job is to sort out the registers of craftsmen and craftsmen, because there are too many people.

So no matter what assessment, after reporting to the official Cao office, the arrangement will be half a month at the earliest.

The official carpenter shop in Liaodong County is named after the 24 solar terms.Official Jiang's eyesight has deteriorated year after year, and his desk is very low. He is looking at several bamboo slips handed over by Carpenter Jingzhe.

"Stove improvement?" It's strange, he has been in this job for more than ten years, and he has only heard of blacksmiths and potters improving stoves, but he has never seen any suggestion from carpenters.

Boom... Thunder sounded from far and near, like a thousand troops and horses, and the wind suddenly picked up, pushing the dust in the courtyard into the air. At the end of the line of sight, dark clouds quickly covered Xiangping County from south to north.

The three quickly bolted the door and lit the candles.The official asked: "Which craftsman proposed to change the stove?"

"The Waking of Insects Craftsman's House."

"Jing Zhe...is the craftsman Wang Ge?"

Official Jiang didn't finish reading it just now, so he put the bamboo slips closer: "It's her!" He got up again and opened the door. In such a short time, it was almost night outside. "You guys close the door, I'll go find Li Cao Shi."

Urgent arrangements for competitions must be approved by Li Cao's officials.

Years of career as a bureaucrat made Mr. Jiang feel that a talented craftsman like Wang Ge would not suggest improvements to the stove without a reason.If she makes more contributions, with his participation and promotion in the credit, perhaps his wish for promotion can be realized!

The heavy rain turned less than half an hour later, and when Wang Geyou left the shop, the sunset was brighter than yesterday's.

Mrs. Qian waited outside with her horse. The horse was covered with mud spots and was terribly dirty.Before Wang Ge could ask, Madam Qian smiled and said, "I'm patrolling the farmland, just in time to pick you up."

"When it first rained in the morning, it was quite heavy. Is it harmful to the farmland?"

"Fortunately."

The official road next to the craftsman's shop is not well built, only the middle part is solidly tamped, and there are small pits with water on both sides, as well as mud that has been stepped on.People on foot have slippery soles, and they envy those who drive chariots, and those who drive chariots envy those who ride horses, because riding on horses doesn't have to worry about the wheels being broken in the mud.

Along the way, the two of Wang Ge were speechless.

After entering the city, she couldn't gallop on horseback, so Madam Qian asked, "Age, did those people look for you?"

"Six people came to me, and the grievances have been resolved."

Lady Qian understood, leaving Sima Tao and Liu Qing silent. "Success, since the grievance has been resolved, I will tell Wang Shuzuo tomorrow."

"Thank you sister."

The streets around the county office are also deserted than yesterday, except for the walking shopkeepers, only those people who sell themselves are left.

"Age, I used to stand there too." Madam Qian pointed to a big tree in front of her, and her voice fell into the memory of the past: "I hope that people will buy me every day, but I am afraid that people will buy me. I hope that good-hearted people will buy me I ate, and thought it might be better to starve to death."

The people in Xiangping County have one thing in common, that is, there are many chilblains, especially on the ears, face and hands.In addition to the unbearable chilblain, the self-selling children also have forehead wrinkles early, because they look up to others all day long.

Hearing that Mrs. Qian had this kind of experience, Wang Ge felt even more uncomfortable when he looked at the poor people who sold themselves on the street.

"It was Duan Gong Cao Shi who bought me and said that I was strong. As long as I was willing to learn my skills, he would teach me how to ride a horse and let me serve as a soldier. Age, although you are young, I admire you as much as I admire Gong Cao Shi. I hope that one day, you will be as capable as Gong Cao Shi and help more girls."

Wang Ge's eyes were red: "Sister Qian, are you... wanting to leave Xiangping?"

"Yes. My right shoulder was seriously injured and I was unable to wield a weapon for a long time, so I was discharged from military service. But I can do other things!" After speaking, she dismounted and stood where she was seen by Mrs. Duan back then. "Returning to the battlefield, my long-cherished wish!"

Two days later, Lady Qian set off with a group of local soldiers.Wang Ge put the holiday on this day, and went out of the city to see off with Mrs. Zou.There were a lot of soldiers in this group, and there were more people seeing off. Cries, whispers, and shouts filled the surroundings.

"Sister Qian!" She kept jumping up and waving her hands: "Treasure!"

Soon, the end of the line passed and went away.

Wang Ge let go of his sore arm, feeling empty, and then he met Zhu Ying, and after Zhu Ying left, he met Qian Niangzi, and Qian Niangzi also left.

Mrs. Zou took her hand and patted the back of her hand twice.

"Sister Zou, I'm fine."

"Of course you're fine!" Sima Tao appeared angrily.

In fact, Wang Ge saw him in the farewell crowd just now, and also saw that the six teenagers she forgave were all in the team leaving the city.

Ms. Zou blocked her arm, and her whole demeanor changed drastically, her face turned frosty: "Mr. Sima Lang, right? Don't block the way for no reason!"
