Shu Hongxuan stood up and bowed slightly towards Emperor Chengde, "Father-in-law, Rong Jing's birthday gift has been prepared, but it may be a little big......"

This is the first time that everyone has heard Shu Hongxuan call Emperor Chengde "father-in-law", and on days like Emperor Chengde's birthday, it is tantamount to reminding everyone that his identity has changed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Chengde smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, as long as it's not a birthday gift that the Taiji Hall can't hold." ”

Shu Hongxuan smiled and stiffened, and asked people to bring his birthday gift.

Four Jinwuwei will carry a large wooden box, and two Jinwuwei will come in with a bucket of water.

At this moment, everyone was curious, they all guessed that the box contained a birthday gift, but what is this water for?

Jin Wuwei carefully put down the wooden box and bucket in his hand, Shu Hongxuan came to the side of the box, and the others stretched their necks and waited to see him open the lid.

Shu Hongxuan didn't have an appetite, he lifted the lid with his right hand, and everyone slowly saw the contents of the box.

"Huh?" It was Zhou Daru and Wang Shigong, who were known to be well-informed, that they both raised doubts, but soon, the two of them had a contemplative look in their eyes, and almost at the same time, the two glanced at each other and saw the clarity in each other's eyes.

Zhou Daru was okay and could hold it, but Wang Shigong's eyes were already showing excitement, staring at Shu Hongxuan and the contents of the box tightly, with a sense of urgency.

I saw that in that box, there was a deep and narrow ditch made of wooden boards, and there was a waterwheel in the ditch that could be seen everywhere in the countryside, but this waterwheel was different from the waterwheel in the countryside.

The tread axle of this waterwheel is extended, and an upright vertical wheel is made, and another shaft is set up next to the vertical wheel, and there are two horizontal lying wheels on the shaft, and the gears of the upper lying wheel and the upright vertical lun are intertwined, and next to the waterwheel is a weed planted with soil and separated by wooden planks.

Emperor Chengde led hundreds of civil and military officials to carry out spring plowing every year, and he also saw the waterwheel in the countryside, and saw a much smaller waterwheel in Shu Hongxuan's box, and he also thought of something.

They stood up in a hurry, and didn't even bother to wait on it, but stepped out of the dragon chair, and came to the box himself, and carefully looked at the set of miniature waterwheels in the box.

"Rong Jing, what are you?" Emperor Chengde knew that Shu Hongxuan was not a targetless person, and since he could use this thing as his birthday gift, it would definitely make him happy.

"Father-in-law, Rong Jing calls it 'Water Turning and Overturning', how does it move, Rong Jing will operate it."

Shu Hongxuan explained, lifted the bucket with his right hand, and seeing that he was a little struggling, Zhou Tingyu rushed up with an arrow step, took the bucket, and said to Shu Hongxuan arrogantly: "Uncle, you are inconvenient, just let me do this kind of thing, you say, what should I do next?" ”

Shu Hongxuan was not polite to Zhou Tingyu, and commanded him, "Pour the water in this bucket into this ditch and follow the direction of the lying wheel." ”

"A little thing, you look at me."

Zhou Tingyu lifted the bucket, held the bottom of the bucket with one hand, and the handle of the bucket with the other, and poured water into the ditch according to Shu Hongxuan's words.

The water has entered the ditch, and it flows down the ditch, and the water hits the lower lying wheel, and the lower wheel begins to rotate slowly, and the next lying wheel moves, driving the upper lying wheel, and then the upper lying wheel drives the vertical wheel with each other, so that the waterwheel in the ditch moves, and I see that the water is transported on the wooden plank through the soil, watering the weeds inside.

Soon the water transported by the waterwheel flooded the weeds, and seeing that even the wooden planks that were blocking were submerged, Zhou Tingyu didn't need Shu Hongxuan to remind him, so he put down the bucket in his hand.

"Good, good!" Emperor Chengde's face was excited, and he said hello three times in a row, looking at the waterwheel in the wooden box as if he had seen a peerless beauty, his eyes did not blink.

I don't know when, Wang Shigong and Zhou Daru also came to Emperor Chengde's side, and they also looked at the waterwheel inside, Wang Shigong spoke anxiously first, "Rongjing, can this waterwheel be used anywhere?" ”

Shu Hongxuan said with a smile: "As long as it is in a river with a slightly larger current, it can be used." ”

Wang Shigong slapped his palms, his expression was full of joy, "Okay, okay, this water overturned car can transport the water to the shore by itself without anyone stepping on it, and now the burden on the people can be reduced!" ”

No wonder Emperor Chengde and Wang Shigong are so excited, you must know that the waterwheel used by the people now needs people to step on the waterwheel with both feet, and use manpower to transport the water to the shore, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention, but also makes a family less laborer in the field, and often tramples on the waterwheel for a long time, no need to wait until old age, it only takes a few years or even more than ten years, and the joints on the legs will hurt to death every time the weather changes.

Now Shu Hongxuan's water turnaround truck is obviously able to transport water to the shore by himself without people, which is much better than a rickshaw.

Emperor Chengde tried his best to resist the urge to pick up the waterwheel inside and watch it, he stretched out his hand and patted Shu Hongxuan's shoulder vigorously, "Rong Jing, your birthday gift is really the best birthday gift I have ever received!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the second prince and the others stiffened slightly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and agreed with his chin, as for Zhou Tingyu, his face was full of honor, as if he made this water turning and overturning.

As for the other nobles and courtiers who have not yet given birthday gifts, in addition to secretly scolding their mothers in their hearts, they also have to congratulate Emperor Chengde on winning this water turn that is beneficial to the country and the people.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Shu Hongxuan's water turnover is promoted to the whole world, it will be of great use to farming, liberating labor and allowing labor to do other work.

This is a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future.

Many people who can be Shu Hongxuan's father are sour in their hearts, and they muttered in their hearts again, how come such a good Junyan is not his own child, Shu Xiu and that fool gave a good son to His Majesty in vain.

"If my father-in-law likes it, Rong Jing will be happy."

This birthday gift, in fact, Shu Hongxuan has been preparing for it a long time ago, and when he had in his heart to protect this dynasty and the world for Emperor Chengde, he began to think about what aspects he could improve the life of Daxia, so that the people could live a better life, and let Daxia's national strength go to a higher level.

And this water turning overturn is the first generous gift he gave to the person who loved him and protected him, and the second part, after Mei's and Shu Yanyu were resolved, he would give it to him!
