At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in a small town in the north, there was a stonemason who specialized in rolling shafts. He was known as the king of rolling shafts, far and near. Villagers said that the rolling shafts he hit were light and easy to pull, and there was a more vivid saying that the rolling shafts he hit for Widow Li's family did not need to be pulled, and would automatically leave. Of course, it's a legend.
Southerners may not know what this shaft is. In the rural areas of the north, it is an animal-powered agricultural tool used for rolling. It is generally similar to a cylinder, with a slightly larger middle and slightly smaller ends. It is suitable for rotating around a center. It is used to grind grain (usually with stone grinding as a chassis), flatten the field, etc.
Closer to home, building this shaft is also manual labor, and it needs to be beaten back and forth to round the stone. It requires a lot of strength. Generally, people with small physical strength can't do this work.
That day, an uninvited guest came to King Luzhou's house and asked him to go to Landlord Liu's house to make a tool, but he couldn't tell him what tool to make, and he didn't ask. King Luzhou thought to himself, as long as there is money to make, don't ask, don't ask, carry the tool and follow the person.
Come to Landlord Liu's house: Landlord Liu said, "Please help my son build a stone lock, but you can't tell anyone about it." King Luzhou nodded and agreed, please call your son out for me to take a look.
"Why do you need to call my son out?" Landlord Liu hesitated!
"I need to see your son's body before I can decide how to hit a stone lock that fits your son.""" King Luzhou said sternly!
Landlord Liu called his son out, and King Luzhou glanced at Landlord Liu's son. He was big and three thick, with a tiger back and a bear waist, and knew that this was a trained family son.
"I wrote it down." King Luzhou nodded and said
Landlord Liu brought King Luzhou to the backyard and pointed to the two hemp cubes, just these two stones, you can fight.
King Luzhou said that these two stone locks can only be made into round stone locks, but those that cannot be made into square ones need bluestone strips. If this hemp stone is made into square ones, the stone corners are easy to break and are not durable. If you need to be made into square ones, you can buy two bluestone strips.
Landlord Liu helplessly said, "Then let's make a circle."
After half a month of busy work, the stone lock was finally completed, but when Landlord Liu saw the stone lock, he saw that the stone lock was like a pair of buckets, only one pole was missing, otherwise he could carry water.
Landlord Liu pointed at the nose of King Luzhou and said, "You will also hit Luzhou, this stone lock has been beaten into Luzhou." Landlord Liu glared at him fiercely, deducted fifty pennies, and Luzhou secretly complained, but he couldn't afford to provoke others, so he had to leave unhappily.
But who knew that after a few months, the official government arrested all of Landlord Liu's family, beheaded them all, and confiscated all their property.
It turned out that the son of Landlord Liu participated in the martial arts exams held by the imperial court, but he failed in the exam room and smashed Dangchao Ge to death. It was exam item of the stone lock.
King Luzhou also regretted it after hearing it. He originally wanted to teach Landlord Liu a lesson, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Landlord Liu's family bullied men and women in the local area, and they did all kinds of evil.
Widow Li's family fields and her husband were both killed by Landlord Liu. She wanted to sue the official, but Landlord Liu cleared the relationship and released it after a few days of detention.
Only then did King Luzhou think of letting Landlord Liu's son get used to this barrel-like stone lock. Over time, it will inevitably produce a kind of smooth force. When he uses the square stone lock, he will be unstable and smash it out, causing trouble.
King Luzhou is already kind-hearted. If it wasn't for the fact that he really looked at Landlord Liu's family too much and couldn't see it, if it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have made such a damaging move.
It can only be said that this is God's will, to actually smash Ge Ge to death, and end up with a door full of beheadings.
Heaven's iniquity is forgiven, self-inflicted iniquity cannot live. In life, I still have a good heart.
