The Mu family now has three meals a day, and when they eat at noon, the news of the manifestation of the white tiger outside Mengyang City last night has reached Linjia Village.

Mu Zhongjun and Lin looked at each other in surprise. The white tiger has one in his own family, but there is no shortage of food, is that Rui beast his own Nini?

Yang Weng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled when he heard this. He knew that the eldest lady was not a cold-blooded and cold-hearted person.

San Lang remembered that the eldest lady got up late today, and showed a clear smile.

Others had different ideas. As the descendants of the Mu family, they are actually slaves, and they are good when the master is good, since the white tiger is auspicious, the master family has such a one, whether the one who delivers the grain is at home or not, they all have confidence.

Lao Lin has always been unable to see through the niece of the eldest mother, and always feels that there is a lack of closeness, and he can't help but feel that the young aunt is very prestigious.

The happiest thing is getting into the painting. She said happily at the dinner table: "Since the white tiger can change food, then our family Nini can also change, and we don't have to worry about starving to death." ”

Mu Fushu felt that he was choked on the food in his mouth and coughed. Not wanting to continue the topic, Tsundere talked about her waterwheel.

Everyone is very interested in the eldest mother's whim. Put down your job and go to the old house workshop to see the waterwheel.

The carpenter in the workshop did not care about eating, and had already made the parts and was doing the final polishing. There are smart people in all eras, and Mu Fushu never underestimated them because his knowledge was thousands of years ahead of the ancients, no, the surprise was just around the corner.

Before the end of the day, all the parts were completed, Mu Fushu asked them to load the ox cart and haul them directly to the river bank to assemble, and the rest of the people went to dig ditches and strive to reach Mu's land within three days.

In the afternoon, it seemed to be hotter and there were fewer people fetching water. The Mu family pulled an oxcart of strange things to the river, and the whole village knew about it from the mouths of those who fetched water sporadically, and the people who liked to join in the fun soon filled the open space by the river.

Mu Fushu's drawings are based on the ox turning and overturning. The waterwheel has an ingenious structure that continuously lifts water up. The structure is made of wooden planks as a groove, the tail is immersed in the water flow, and there is a small wheel axle. At the other end there is a large axle, which is fixed to the wooden frame of the embankment. When stepping on the crutch, the large wheel axle rotates, driving the continuous ribbon plate blade in the trough to scrape the water, using the principle of sprocket transmission, with manpower (or animal power) as the driving force, driving the wooden chain to turn over and over again, and the scraper installed on the wooden chain can lift the river water to the shore along the trough, and continuously irrigate to the higher fields.

Yu's father and son installed it according to the drawings for about half an hour. At the end of the Shen period, a tall keel waterwheel was erected on the Ruishui River outside Linjia Village. Yang Weng saw Yu Han put the ox on the rope chain and turn the turntable, and the guò tooth drove the keel chain scraper, and the water flowed into the ditch dug temporarily.

The people of Linjia Village who were watching around were also stunned. Mu Zhongjun stood on a raised stone and said loudly according to what Mu Fushu said: "In the past few days, everyone has seized the time to dig a ditch, and the water from the waterwheel will flow into the fields along the ditch, so you don't have to work hard to carry water for irrigation every day." ”

The village chief was in tears of excitement. The people of Linjia Village are not wealthy, and there are not many people who listened to his words yesterday to buy grain, not because they don't believe him, but because there are very few people who have money to spare. Whether there will be a drought is not necessarily, the temporary water irrigation will exhaust the whole village, fortunately, there is a waterwheel of the Mu family, but this one is too few......

Before the village chief could speak, the villagers had already volunteered to go up the mountain to cut down trees and prepare to build a few more water wheels. In this era, there is a patent protection law, and Mu Fushu has to let them go. First of all, the people of Linjia Village will use it, and then we will sell more waterwheels.

Yang Weng took the initiative to take over the registration of the patent right of the waterwheel, and prepared to enter Mengyang City early tomorrow morning. Mu Fushu remembered the mountains within a radius of fifty miles, and the trees on the mountain were planned to be cut down to make furniture, so there would be a risk of soil erosion after cutting. Now that I have a waterwheel, if I reclaim it into terraced fields...... Mu Fushu thought of the victims outside Mengyang City, and his eyes lit up.

Yang Weng entered the city when the Mengyang City Gate was first opened, and returned to Linjia Village with the Wenxian Order at three o'clock.

At that time, Mu Fushu was studying how to make ice. At the end of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, in the weather of May and June of the modern Gregorian calendar, the daytime temperature has reached 312 degrees. This was absolutely not normal in ancient times, when the average maximum temperature did not exceed 30 degrees. Farmers do not have the habit of digging cellars to store ice, and in modern times, Mu Fushu, who is accustomed to warm winters and cool summers, will never be able to endure the weather above 30 degrees.

Mu Fushu uses the simplest saltpeter and water to make ice. In fact, saltpeter is calcium nitrate, which absorbs heat when dissolved in water, forming ice, and can be reused. Gunpowder had not yet been invented in this era, so saltpeter was scarce, generally only available in Chinese medicine shops. It's a pity that the amount is not large, Mu Fushu plans to make saltpeter ice as a model, mainly using the refrigerator in the space to make ice.

Wen Xian Ling was in a trance all day yesterday. First, there was a tiger roar in the most remote abandoned garden in the middle of the night, and then several people claimed to have seen the auspicious white tiger, and when he took people to see it, he only saw that the ground was full of grain, and the people who were one step ahead of him had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed and prayed.

At this time, Buddhism did not rise among the people. There is no Tang Dynasty, and there is no Xuanzang who learned scriptures from the West. There were also monks in India who preached to Middle-earth, but unfortunately the impact was not great. Taoism is relatively prosperous, but the common people do not believe much. I am still very superstitious about ghosts and gods, especially after witnessing the "miracles", I am almost crazy.

The official warehouse of the county government has been emptied, and only three or five of Wen County's henchmen know about this matter, and now the grain in the abandoned garden is more than double the total amount of the official warehouse in peacetime, and the Wenxian Commander firmly believes that the extra grain is for him to continue to give porridge and grain.

In the confusion, the grain was put into the official warehouse, and the misappropriated food was replenished, and the excess was stored separately and continued to be porridge. The Wen County Order decided to give porridge twice a day starting today. It's just that when he arrived outside the city, he saw that the refugees were all clamoring and shouting, saying that they had seen the immortals riding Xiangrui to deliver food to them last night! When they saw the order of Wen County to give porridge, they all knelt down to thank them. Because they couldn't find the immortals, the refugees felt that it was the kindness of the Wen County Order's insistence on giving porridge that attracted the pity of the immortals, and they were full of gratitude and gave the Wen County Order. All of a sudden, a large number of people around knelt down, and even the officials and entourage were honored.

Wen Xianling was very excited, if it weren't for the education he received since he was a child, he almost made him get carried away, thinking that he was a good official given by God.

At the end of the day, Wen Xianling walked in high spirits, and the joy of seeing the sixteenth brother yesterday was suppressed by the empty granary, and today it hit his heart again. The sixteenth brother is really the lucky star of the Wen family, even if everyone thought he was dead eight years ago, only he and his father and mother insisted that he was still alive, and sure enough, he only saw him once during the day, and there was Xiangrui to deliver food at night.

Wenxian Ling was excited in the middle of the night, and the people who ran five enthusiastically pulled Mrs. to do a midnight exercise, and the next day when Mrs. got up haggard, but he was still in good spirits, and he ate two bowls of breakfast and walked to the ya. The county magistrate hesitated for a long time, should she find him a room...... Although the Wen family rules that only concubines can be accepted if they have no children at forty, but they are not considered concubines, right? It's just that I've been in love for half my life, and I'm very sad, and I don't have enough to have sex without...... The county magistrate's wife Sen Sen is worried......

As soon as the Wen County Order came out, the Ya ran into Yang Weng. Yang Weng and he are brothers. The Wen family is a big family, although it is not as good as the five surnames and seven hopes, it is also a noble family that has been inherited for a hundred years. The ancestors of the Wen family taught that women are not concubines, and men who are over forty years old and have no children will take concubines. He is the third in the family of his peers, Yang Weng is the youngest, the sixteenth, and his original name is Wen Qingyang.

Because they don't take concubines, the population of the Wen family is smaller than that of other families, and the grandparents who are still alive today are still the third uncle, Wen County Ling and Yang Weng's grandfather is the eldest and died for more than ten years, and the second uncle also died three years ago. Their grandfather had two sons together, and the eldest was their father, which means that Wen Xianling was the eldest grandson of the eldest house. Because their mother was born late, he ranked third, and Yang Weng was their mother's old son, ranking last. The second uncle only got one son, so Changfang had three sons, and one "died" eight years ago. If it weren't for the good style of the Wen family, if they changed to another family, the long house would be weak, and I am afraid that it would have been a mess of internal fighting at this moment.

Yang Weng was only twenty-one when he disappeared, and now he is only thirty. Wen Xian Ling is forty-nine, nineteen years older than his younger brother, although there are also two younger sisters in the middle, both of whom are more than ten years older than Yang Weng.

In fact, this is also the early marriage of the ancients, and the mother of Wenxian Ling gave birth to her first child seven years after marriage, and it was only twenty-three. In ancient times, women could be called "old women" after thirty, and they had little sex with their husbands. But the Wen family does not have a concubine room, and there is only one short-lived seventh uncle of the second uncle's family, and the seventh uncle died at the age of twenty-five.

In this way, Mrs. Wen was born at the age of forty-two, and Wen Qingyang (Yang Weng) is absolutely wonderful. At that time, she was embarrassed, and she was not known to outsiders until more than five months. Wen Xianling was seventeen years old and won Xiucai, and the difference between his younger brother and his eldest son was two years old, and he was almost single-handedly brought up, and the relationship was absolutely deep.

Yesterday, Wen Xianling and Yang Weng cried when they met, but they didn't think much about anything else because they had something in their hearts, just knowing that he was doing well now. When we met today, I remembered to ask my brother if he was married and if he had any heirs. It's just that before he could speak, Yang Weng had already asked happily: "Is the granary full?" ”

Wen County Ling believed that his henchmen would never tell the county government about the appearance of food, so how did the sixteenth brother know?

Yang Weng knew that the granary was full when he saw Wen County's face, and he smiled unconsciously: "I'm relieved, brother, come with me, please have something." ”

Although according to the family ranking, Wen Xianling is the third brother, but Yang Weng feels that this is his own eldest brother, so he has been called Brother since he was a child, and he is not ranked according to the family.
