Chapter 129 Why are you making a ball?
"…It's a little messy."

Seeing Yun Shu stopped at the gate, Yun Chuhe, who had been staying in the courtyard all day and had not noticed how chaotic it was, finally regained his normal level of cognition.

He stretched out his hand somewhat awkwardly and threw away a wooden shelf that was about to poke Yun Shu:

"In addition to the complete plows and the plows I disassembled, there are also many improved plows that I tried to make.
But the effects were not very good, so I just randomly piled them together. "

"You've tried a lot."

Following Yun Chuhe's line of sight, he saw a lot of things that had been modified into strange shapes.

Yun Shu carefully looked at them one by one, and finally picked out the strange thing that was most similar to a curved plow.

"Why did you make a ball?"

"Didn't you say that before? The biggest problem with today's plows is that they are too big and too heavy. Even an ox has a hard time pulling it for a long time."

Yun Chuhe explained his "genius" idea:
"So I thought, if it was round, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?
But after I actually made it, I found that the round shape saved effort, but the problem was that it couldn’t plow the land at all! ”

"Round ones won't work..."

Yun Shu touched his chin and said casually, seemingly unintentionally:

"What about the semicircular one?"

"semicircle?"

Yun Chuhe was stunned.

He made this thing round so that he could roll it with less effort.

How to roll a semicircle?
Her question is too far-fetched...

"Maybe it will work!"

Just when Yun Chuhe was about to open his mouth to deny it, Xiao Yuanzi, who had squatted next to the only intact plow in the yard, suddenly had an idea.
Pointing to the straight shaft of the plow, he said:

"Look, Your Highnesses! If we change this straight shaft into a curved shaft, we can make the plow frame smaller and lighter!"

"May I?"

Yun Shu looked confused, not understanding what was being said.
"After it becomes a curved shaft, will it be easier to turn? After all, it is a semicircle!"

"What does this have to do with turning?"

Yun Chuhe simply couldn't bear to listen:
"Fifth sister, you have no idea how to use a plow, right? Its shaft..."

"Don't speak yet."

Raising his hand to signal Yun Chuhe to shut up, Yun Shu looked at Xiao Yuanzi, who was hesitant to speak, with great interest:

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say..."

Glancing cautiously at Yun Chuhe, and seeing that the Third Prince did not show any anger at being interrupted in the middle of his speech, Xiao Yuanzi continued:
"If we add a flexible rotating part to the shaft, maybe it will be easier to turn."

"See, I told you I could do it!"

Yun Shu ignored Xiao Yuanzi's question about adding other parts and clapped his hands in triumph:

"The semicircle is the best!"

Yun Chuhe: "..."

He thought that his fifth sister had the best luck, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse!
Well, there is also this one called Xiao Yuanzi, who seems pretty good too.

Considering that he might need to please his fifth sister in the future, Yun Chuhe swallowed back the words he wanted to complain about.

He just nodded at Xiao Yuanzi:
“Let’s try making it first.”

"Yes!"

Just by expressing his ideas, he immediately got the support of the two masters. Xiao Yuanzi's confidence increased, and he immediately started to do it excitedly.

Yun Shu had someone clear out a spot in the yard that was barely big enough for someone to sit down and rest.
Continue to sit and chat with Yun Chuhe:

"If Xiao Yuanzi's plow is really modified, can it be pulled by manpower?" "How would I know now?"

Yun Chuhe crossed his legs and ate the buns in big mouthfuls:

"If you're curious, why don't you try it yourself after Xiao Yuanzi is done?"

"Come on, with my small body, I'd better not make myself miserable."

Yun Shu held his chin with one hand and began to think:

"I just suddenly remembered that I had read in a book before that there was something called a windlass in the army. When a person stood in a chariot, the power of the windlass could lift the board he was standing on.

You say, if this thing is used in the fields, can it be easily pulled the plow?"

"And this thing?"

Yun Chuhe sat up straight and stopped eating the buns:
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Why not just use a windlass? Why bother changing to a plow?"

Hasn't he been busy in vain these days?
"The windlass is inconvenient to use!"

Keeping his voice within the range that Xiao Yuanzi could hear, Yun Shu said lazily:
"After all, that thing has to be fixed in one place first, so when you use it... you can only pull things in that area.

The field is so big, you can't just cultivate the edge, right? "

Yun Chuhe: "...So, it can't be used?"

"It doesn't work."

"So what do you say it does?"

Yun Chuhe instantly lost interest in the windlass and leaned back in his chair:

"It's all in vain."

"Tell me what happened?"

Seeing Yun Chuhe eating with great relish, Yun Shu also took a meat bun and tasted it:
"If the plow can be improved, then can't the windlass be improved so that it doesn't have to be fixed in one place, but can be pushed like a cart?"

“It doesn’t sound easy.”

Yun Chuhe curled his lips. The busyness of the past few days had made him realize that he was probably not cut out for it.

After swallowing the last bite of bun skin, Yun Chuhe snorted and laughed:
"You should let Xiao Yuanzi work hard. It would be difficult to rely on me, your third brother!"

"I didn't expect you either."

Noticing that the little Yuanzi suddenly raised his head and glanced in their direction, it was obvious that he had heard the conversation between the two.
Yun Shu took the bun and stood up slowly:
“Whether it’s a plow or a windlass, it probably won’t be easy to improve it successfully.

I have already informed my father that Xiao Yuanzi will stay at your house for the next few days.

When the things are ready, just send them directly to the palace and give them to me."

"Leaving now?"

Yun Chuhe put down his crossed legs and quickly stood up:

"It's still so early, are you going to Tianwaitian Restaurant? I'll take you there!"

"Don't go."

Did he want to send her off?
She was too lazy to expose it!

Yun Shu rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand without even turning his head:
"I have other things to do when I return to the palace."

Return to the palace...

That's fine.

Yun Chuhe decisively sat back down, not disguising himself at all:

"Okay, Fifth Sister, take care. Come visit Third Brother anytime you have time!
It's ok to have dinner together, Third Brother will treat us! Tianwaitian Restaurant, fourth floor!"
