233. an instrument

Back in the house, Wu Ziheng delicately put Moshu on the bamboo couch of the Xiangfei who lived and sat on weekdays. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as she sat down, Mo Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at Wu Ziheng with displeasure.

It stands to reason that it is not the first time that Wu Ziheng has hugged Mo Shu, but neither of them had any charming thoughts before, so this time not only Mo Shu felt hot on her face, but Wu Ziheng also had a strange feeling in her heart. Just now, I couldn't help but wish that the road through the door would be longer.

Seeing Mo Shu glaring at him at this time, Wu Ziheng was extremely rare and a little weak-hearted, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly asked calmly and in surprise: "What's wrong with my cousin?" ”

Mo Shu saw Wu Ziheng putting on an innocent look of a decent gentleman, knowing that such a situation was unreasonable for him, and besides, she was hugged, and it was not her who was tired, what else could she say?

At the moment, Mo Shu could only be willful, and said angrily: "Why don't you serve tea yet?" ”

Seeing this, Wu Ziheng's handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his lips smiled: "Cousin who dares to love is not used to being called by his cousin these days, and he is still chasing here." ”

While speaking, Wu Ziheng turned around and took the tea case and made tea for Mo Shu.

Mo Shu didn't bother to refute Wu Ziheng's ridicule, and said, "I've come all the way to give you advice and work as a coolie." ”

Wu Ziheng's movements were like flowing water, and he quickly divided the brewed tea soup into the tea cup in front of the two: "Be careful of scalding." ”

Then he asked: "Does my cousin still want to dig a canal?" ”

Mo Shu saw Wu Ziheng's look of wanting to dig a canal with such a small body, and felt that she was underestimated, so she raised her chin and snorted lightly, and said: "Don't underestimate me, sometimes a smart person can be worth a few strong men who pull up mountains!" ”

Wu Ziheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression unchanged: "Presumably my cousin must be such a smart person." ”

Why does this sound so annoying?

Mo Shu couldn't help but roll her eyes before she said her plan.

When Wu Ziheng heard Mo Shu say that he wanted to make some equipment, it would be more labor-saving to lift the sand and gravel in the river to the embankment, so as to facilitate the excavation of the canal, and immediately remembered that Mo Shu participated in the production and transformation of siege equipment in the villa.

Mo Shu put forward a lot of effective suggestions for the siege equipment and weapons that were quietly made in the villa before, and made clever changes to many of the existing weapons and ordnance of the beam.

With horses and horses and other things in front of him, Wu Ziheng naturally would not doubt that Mo Shu could make craftsmen make equipment that was conducive to the excavation of the canal, but the siege equipment used before used a lot of fine iron, and these equipment used to dig the canal was afraid that the upper authorities would be reluctant to allocate any good materials and craftsmen.

Mo Shu also had some understanding when she heard Wu Ziheng say this. In the past, she naturally planned to make machinery on a large scale, which could save a lot of manpower, so that the people who served in labor would not rebel due to heavy labor and oppression, but now after being reminded by Wu Ziheng, she realized that this idea seemed unrealistic.

But Mo Shu was not discouraged. There aren't enough materials to make a large number of complex large instruments, but a small amount of material is still available, right?

Even if you make several sets of pulleys, you can greatly reduce the amount of labor involved in digging canals.

After two days, Lu Wenyuan, an official who was also the superintendent, came back from the Chu Pavilion to enjoy himself, remembered that he wanted to go to the canal construction site to have a look, and took a sedan chair to the shore slowly, his eyes swept carelessly, and his somewhat puffy half-squinted eyes glared at the boss.

Why didn't I see it for two days, but a short section of the canal was dug up?

Lu Wenyuan's sleepy eyes, which were still worried, were already round at the moment, and he still suspected that he was still in a dream, and looked back and forth for a long time before confirming that he was not mistaken.

Seeing the object that looked like a wheel axle erected on the shore at some point, and the thick rope hanging down was tied to the rattan basket, and the lauder in the river used a wooden stick to pry the big stone that two people could barely move into the rattan basket, and a man on the shore shouted and turned the handle, and the rattan basket containing a few large stones slowly rose upward.

Soon, the boulders reached the high embankment.

It is ten times faster than it used to be carried by manpower.

Looking closely at the excavation tools taken by those people, they are indeed slightly different from the previous ones.

Before Lu Wenyuan heard the overseer under him mention the transformation of tools and the production of instruments by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, at that time he was holding a little lady to eat wine and listen to music, and when he asked, he heard that it was a very simple instrument, and it didn't cost much, so he didn't take it to heart, how could he have thought that this simple instrument was also so useful? !

If I had learned about it earlier, I would have said it with Wu Ziheng, and I would have taken some of the credit if I was enthusiastic about it.

Now two days later, with Wu Ziheng's cold but actually treacherous temperament, presumably the folds have been sent to the capital. Moreover, the people of the Wu family who deliver letters and excerpts are especially fast.

Lu Wenyuan regretted that his intestines were blue.

Today's saints attach great importance to this canal, and everyone knows it. Nowadays, with such a simple instrument that can effectively speed up the progress of canal excavation, how can the credit of the person who found this good method be small?

Lu Wenyuan, as the supervisor of this section of the river, originally only needed to add a few strokes to the fold, and the credit for this instrument could not be lost, but he missed the opportunity.

If someone else is changed, even if Lu Wenyuan himself doesn't mention it, it is impossible for the officials who are also supervisors to leave him alone and monopolize the credit, but the person who came up with the solution is Wu Ziheng.

Not to mention that the Wu family is powerful, even if it is suppressed now, it is not something that Lu Wenyuan can afford to provoke, just say that Wu Ziheng's own ability and temperament Lu Wenyuan does not have the courage to share his credit.

If it hadn't been reported before, Lu Wenyuan would have been able to discuss it with Wu Ziheng with kind words, and mention his name on the excerpt and the credit would have been in hand, but now that he missed the opportunity, he wouldn't dare to grab the credit anyway.

Why didn't the overseer make it clear at the time? I missed a great opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune! The more Lu Wenyuan thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately called the overseer to find a few mistakes and reprimanded him, and couldn't help but give an ear scraper and ordered to replace the other one.

The overseer was beaten and scolded for losing his errand, but he was still confused and didn't know what went wrong, which made Shangfeng furious.

The people who had been whipped and scolded and humiliated by the overseers at the bottom saw their gray faces crying and retreating, but they secretly clapped their hands and applauded.

Lu Wenyuan didn't have the courage to grab the credit, and Emperor Liang heard that Wu Ziheng asked the craftsman to develop an instrument that was conducive to the excavation of the canal and cost less.

Wu Ziheng didn't pay much attention to this.

It was Lu Wenyuan, because he was also the official who supervised this section of the river, Emperor Liang also praised it, although there was no reward, but Lu Wenyuan was already overjoyed, for him, what was more important was that Jian was in the emperor's heart, leaving a good impression on Liu Kai.

Lu Wenyuan also understood that the emperor's praise was stained with Wu Ziheng's light, so he bought a lot of valuable items and gave them two beautiful Qingqi.
