The scholars of King Jing are carefully selected by his old mother, the Queen Mother, not only look energetic, can speak well, but also have a rough sense of martial arts, and even the name is entrusted to a mother's concern for her son who often goes out.

Rubbing his eyebrows with his hand, Zhu Rui also knew that this matter would not be solved in a while, so he took a sip of the rice porridge and nodded: "Yes, compared to the fine method, this kind of coarse porridge tastes good." After a pause, he said: "This Lin family is really right, I didn't expect to be able to dig up such things here, not to mention anything else, just the success of growing sweet potatoes should be a great contribution." ”

Safety smiled and patted his ass: "The Lin family still relies on the prince, if the master is not the master of his family, the credit will not reach his family, I am afraid that even his life will be worried." Zhu Rui said with a smile: "Other people's families may be, the Lin family has the support of the old man Ouyang, not yet, the Lin family's business, even the master has been stained with a lot of light, and the sweet potato vermicelli will make a lot of money this winter and spring, right?" How much more is there salvation? ”

The purpose of managing the account is to be at ease, and he hurriedly said: "Yes! The net profit of vermicelli is more than 20,000 taels, and the wine has already received more than 10,000 taels, which is just the beginning. Zhu Rui nodded: "This Lin family can be said to be our lucky star, no, it should be said that the youngest son of the Lin family seems to be called Lin Zimo, right?" This child is not ordinary, it seems that the changes in the Lin family come from him. Touching his chin: "Well, it's very mysterious and interesting." ”

King Jing stayed for two days and left. Lin Zimo's family immediately relaxed a lot. The weather is getting hotter, and villagers from all villages in Qingshui County come in an endless stream every day to learn how to grow sweet potatoes. One or two - gradually the tenant farmers could not take care of it, and the work in their own fields was greatly delayed.

Lin Zimo Xiumu came back to see that it was not a way, so he built yì, and each village selected ten old farmers to learn, and then went back to the villagers after learning, so that he gradually freed up his hands.

It hasn't rained for more than a month, and the transplanted sweet potato seedlings and various crops have all wilted. The water on the ground in the plain area is scarce, except for the rain that God appreciates the face, it is a few sparse earth wells, which rely on people to carry the water to the ground, but the huge fields are simply a drop in the bucket.

Lin Zimo also had a headache, thousands of acres of land at home, pointing to the harvest after the autumn, and he made a guarantee with King Jing, if he failed, the consequences were unimaginable. Doi is very easy to fight, and if you have money, you can hire people, but how to get water easily is a technical job.

Carefully recalled, in the past, Lin Zimo once went to a farmhouse to play in the popular manual pressurized wells in the countryside, and he personally put the piston on the wellhead a little, poured water, pressed back and forth, and used the pressure to press the well water up after a while. Once because of curiosity, I came back to Baidu, and found that the principle is to use the lever pressure to increase the water pumped up, although it is still tired, it is much stronger than manpower to carry water! The energy flows continuously down the ditch to the place to be watered.

took a piece of paper, the brush was too hard, plucked a goose feather from the goose raised by himself, and drew a lot of pictures with ink, Lin Zihao and Lin Zihan didn't know anything about the pressurized water well that Lin Zimo said, but they also knew that they would become officials in the future, and they must also be proficient in agricultural affairs, and agricultural affairs are related to the lives of the people in a place where they are governed. So, I studied with my dad and younger brother when I had nothing to do, and I hope to understand more.

The two of them were more interested in this quill brush, and they drew together, painting back and forth, which gave Lin Zimo a lot of inspiration. After a day and a half of the night, I finally had a rough drawing. The pressurized water wellhead is pure iron, and the pipes below can only be pure iron, and there is no place to get plastic pipes here, which increases a lot of costs. At this time, iron was very expensive, and compared with grain, no matter how expensive it was, it was safe.

Lin Huaide's mouth was foaming in a hurry, and as soon as he heard his son's words, he immediately found the blacksmith from last time, and it took more than a day to build it successfully. Lin Zimo took a closer look, it was okay, the seams were relatively fine, don't worry about water leakage, but the piston thought of a way for a long time, and finally the blacksmith said that without the rubber skin that Lin Zimo said, it can be replaced by animal skin, and finally sew the two layers of pig skin, and it is so-so.

When the clear water was pressed out of the earthen well outside the village, the villagers who came to see the excitement cheered. The endless flow of water into the ground is much less troublesome than carrying water, and it is also fast.

Several pressurized water wells were urgently prepared, and the drought in the Lin family farm was finally alleviated. Before the Lin family could catch their breath, the patriarch and several clan elders came to the door. The patriarch smoked a long cigarette pouch and was very embarrassed: "Huaide, your family originally pressed a pressurized water well for the village for free, and I shouldn't trouble you again, but one well is not enough at all, and the land on the other side of the village is not within reach." Speaking of this, the patriarch knocked the soot embarrassedly: "The clan has discussed, can you talk to the blacksmith and install a few pressurized water wells for us cheaper." ”

There is no way, it costs about a dozen taels of silver to install a pressurized water well, and it is installed with ten or eight wells, plus the cost of drilling wells, the village is almost unable to afford it, so I have to come to Huaide's house to see if I can reduce the cost.

Lin Huaide also smacked his lips: "Patriarch, it's not that I don't care, it's really cheaper, it's expensive enough, it's hard to make iron for pipes." "Iron has not been produced in large quantities in this era, it belongs to the military management products, and what flows into the people is enough to make agricultural tools, and all the pressurized water wells are made of pig iron, and a large amount of pig iron is consumed, and there is no place to get it!

Lin Zimo was also worried, but Lin Jiacun could still take care of it: "Dad, let's pay for the well in the village, if it is slow, it won't be able to catch up with the season." "One or two hundred taels of silver is nothing in the Lin family now, but it is still a lot of money in the ordinary people's homes, good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since they sent a well in the village, then send it all, leave a good popularity."

The next day, Lin Huaide took the blacksmith and several sons to the field. In the distance, I saw a few young students bending over and vigorously changing the pressurized water, the clear water flowing down the ditch, towards the dry fields in the distance, and everywhere there were children running and playing along the current, and the sound of adults shouting that they were not allowed to make trouble.

Lin Zimo frowned, he had always been talking on paper, telling his father his thoughts, basically leaving it alone, looking at the man with a bare back and sweating hard to press the water, he didn't expect this job to be so tiring.

Walk closer, squat down, take a closer look, the pressurized water well is the principle of leverage, if you press the balance beam, on both sides of the human step, is it not so hard? Thinking about it, I forgot about the sun for a long time, and the sweat beads on my forehead "snapped" down, and I didn't feel it at all.

Prince Jing Zhu Rui received a report from the Ouyang family and rushed back in the dust. The real yàn of Linjia Village must succeed in order to relieve the pressure from all over the country, and even the emperor's eldest brother listened to the report and had great expectations for it, and repeatedly told him to pay attention to this matter. But before it happened, Qingshui County encountered a drought, and he rushed back from the south without stopping.

Just arrived in Qingshui County, Ouyang Shaohua reported that the Lin family had developed a kind of thing that could draw water by manpower, which was being promoted throughout the village, and the next group rushed to Linjia Village.

Seeing the clear water flowing into the dry fields from a distance, Zhu Rui's fatigue was swept away. Whether a country is rich and strong, agriculture accounts for most of the reasons, just imagine. If you can't even eat enough, how can you fight? Nowadays, this relatively advanced thing can still irrigate the arid land, and it seems that it does not require a lot of manpower, if it is extended to the whole country, prosperity is just around the corner.

happily followed the source of the water, and saw Lin Zimo squatting there, staring at the pressurized water well with his eyes. Ouyang Shaohua was just about to say hello, Zhu Rui shook his head hurriedly, he guessed that this pressurized water well was probably also thought up by Lin Zimo, and now that he is in a trance, there must be a reason. waved his hand at the moment, and asked the soldier with a parasol to step forward and cover Lin Zimo together.

was made by Prince Jing, the people of Linjia Village, plus Lin Huaide's father and son, all did not dare to breathe. They all did their work silently. When Lin Zimo came back to his senses, his legs were numb, and he almost fell down when he moved. Zhu Rui hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Lin Zimo was startled: "I have seen King Jing, and the students dare not work to help King Jing." Zhu Rui nodded, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him, and said warmly: "What is this?" The Lin family is meritorious to the country, and the secretary works hard for the country, what is it to help it? ”

The silk handkerchief with the scent of grass was handed to his hand, Lin Zimo's heart jumped a few times, the power of the handsome guy is great! Hurriedly stood up: "Then thank you to the prince." Zhu Rui looked at the pressurized water well and asked, "Qing is so engrossed here, what do you see?" Lin Zimo hurriedly said: "I'm looking to see if I can improve it, it's too tiring to work like this." Zhu Rui was interested: "Oh, can it be improved?" In his opinion, this method is already very advanced compared to other places, and Lin Zimo even has to change it.

Lin Zimo didn't dare to hide it, and gestured: "Press a long wooden board at the hand pole, put a wooden frame on the top, hold the hands on the top, and kick it under your feet, save some effort, and you haven't come up with an advanced method yet." This method is very simple, even the villagers working next to it understood, and shouted: "Brother Mo of the Lin family, this is very good, we have strength, and the whole village works together, saving a lot of effort, thank you Brother Mo." "The people in the village are simple, and this gratitude is sincere.

Zhu Rui's eyes lit up, most of the Han Kingdom is hilly and plain areas, and there is very little river water, and most of the villages are difficult to use. This method has spread, not only without fear of drought, but also in normal years to increase production.
