The prototype of the waterwheel actually existed as early as the Three Kingdoms period, when it was called a rollover.

Of course, at that time, it was not very efficient because of technical limitations. And after hundreds of years of chaos, the technology has long since been lost.

The waterwheel made by Wang Xiao uses multiple rows of gear sets as axles, and it is also cast in iron.

Not only is it strong enough to withstand high winds, but it is also durable.

"It's a good thing."

Li Er still came, and he came quite quickly.

He stood on the banks of the river and watched as the huge shovels rattled up the water and then spun around and poured it into the concrete canal.

After that, I walked all the way along the canal to the field and saw the boiling water flowing into the field.

"Drawings?"

"Of course the drawings can be given." Wang Xiao came over and began to talk about the conditions, he rubbed his fingers in front of Li Er, "I have given so many good things, I must give some benefits." ”

"The treasury is empty, there is no reward."

Wang Xiao raised his hand and wiped his face, and was about to stage a Sichuan opera.

"However, you can be given a knight."

Wang Xiao wiped his face again, "It is appropriate to serve the country, and I still have a lot of useful skills to contribute." I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious to ask, what kind of MG can Your Majesty give? How much is the food eup? I think it's probably too much. But a marquis should be fine, right? ”

Li Shimin laughed angrily.

Return the marquis, are you still in the martial arts period when the title is indiscriminate?

When Li Yuan was emperor, he gave out titles for various purposes.

At this time, the title was not a nominal thing like Zhao Song. The title of the Tang Dynasty can be inherited, it has real power, and it also has a real fiefdom of food.

Although at this time, the food town has become only able to obtain taxes. But for Li Tang, who inherited the mess from the Sui Dynasty, these taxes were a huge loss.

Therefore, after Li Shimin came to power, he kept finding excuses to abolish many people who ate white rice, and at the same time strictly controlled the issuance of new titles.

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to start as a marquis, and the title of being a Tang Dynasty was a cabbage.

"Didn't you say that you have new management methods, new farming methods, new fertilizers and so on in your fields. Then wait for the harvest time to see the results, if it is really effective, then I will not be stingy with rewards. ”

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes.

This is clearly pushing, and it is also pushed to the autumn harvest.

Li Er ate a meal for nothing in Wang Xiao's Zhuangzi, and when he left, he packed one and said that he would take it to the queen to eat.

In addition to the drawings of the waterwheel, he also took twenty jars of soy sauce, saying that it was for the Shangshi Bureau.

It's no problem to pack the eldest grandson queen, just think of Wang Xiao as sending warmth to the wisher.

But what is the matter if you take twenty jars of soy sauce, there are some that are sold in Chang'an City, so you can buy it yourself.

It is really disgusting that a dignified generation of emperors actually came to take advantage of these hundreds of texts!

The soy sauce brewed by Wang Xiao on Zhuangzi began to be shipped, and this time the amount was large enough, and there were more sales in Chang'an City.

And in the future, batches of soy sauce will continue to be produced, bringing back enough wealth for Wang Xiao to support him as a Zhuangzi.

After all, the crops he planted had not yet been produced, and the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep he fed had not yet reached the time for meat.

Soy sauce is his biggest source of income during this period in addition to the liquor store.

Li Er walked away from the twenty altars at once, which made Wang Xiao very dissatisfied.

It didn't take too long for the banks of the eight rivers surrounding Chang'an City to start tinkling waterwheels one after another.

Water from the Taotao River has been introduced into the fields on a large scale, and the severe drought has been significantly alleviated.

In ancient times, there was no shortage of water resources, because there was no huge amount of industrial water at that time. So whether it's rivers or groundwater, it's very abundant.

What is really missing is the water diversion facility.

Every year, huge sums of money are invested in the construction of water conservancy facilities, which actually divert water from the river to the fields.

The biggest advantage of the waterwheel is that it can raise the water level.

Coupled with the help of cement, the water conservancy facilities were upgraded by at least one level in an instant.

Seeing that the waterwheel was indeed effective, it soon began to spread to the entire Guanzhong and all parts of the Kanto region.

Originally, the loss of production caused by drought in history has been greatly alleviated by the waterwheel provided by Wang Xiao.

"Master Wang, drink it."

Because Fei Lin was unlucky in advance, the eldest grandson Wuji, as Li Shimin's first confidant, got the opportunity to be promoted. Now he is the prime minister in power.

He took a break today, and went directly out of the city to Wang Xiao's Zhuangzi to find him for a drink.

"The owner of the village is talented, and I admire it very much." The eldest grandson Wuji was obviously very happy, "I don't know if the owner of the village still has a business that can use a lot of iron?" ”

In order to improve the service life and solidity of the waterwheel made by Wang Xiao, the gear shaft and everything are made of iron.

This is a lot of consumption, and it is definitely a big business for the eldest grandson's family, who specializes in the ironware business.

"Well." Wang Xiao drank the wine leisurely, "It's gone." ”

Just kidding, who are you, why should I be cheap for you.

"Master Wang." The eldest grandson Wuji squinted at the small

The eyes smiled and said, "Tonight, there is a sword dance performance of Aunt Gongsun in the Changle Building of Pingkangfang, if the owner is interested, how about you and I go to watch it together?" ”

Gongsun Da Niang is a commercial symbol, not referring to a single person, but to the entire sword dance troupe.

There are many reserve candidates for Erniang, Sanniang, and Siniang. Only the most outstanding one will be given the name of Gongsun Auntie.

Wang Xiao smiled, "Look at the dance? Just watching the dance, I'm not interested. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji showed a smile from his peers, "The beauty of dance, of course, must be appreciated carefully." If the owner is interested, he can recommend it on his behalf. ”

Wang Xiao looked at the fat man in front of him, and sneered in his heart, "Want to use beauty tricks on me?" You're wrong in your calculations, I'm a decent man. ’

"Wang can't ride a horse."

Li Tang's system is very strict, and Wang Xiao's current identity can't even ride a horse, but can only ride a donkey.

Of course, as long as this kind of thing is not targeted, no one usually investigates it.

"The owner of the Wang Zhuang has a merit to the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely submit it to His Majesty to ask for a reward. How about the owner of the king and the village sitting in a certain carriage today? ”

"Haha~" Wang Xiao smiled, and then his face turned straight, "Since the eldest grandson is so generously invited." Then let's enjoy the sword dance with an artistic eye. ”

Wang Xiao watched the sword dance with the eyes of appreciating art.

As for why I didn't come back overnight, it was all because I had been appreciating art for a long time. Chang'an City started a curfew, and he had no way to leave Pingkangfang, so he could only stay there for one night.

He really gave too much to appreciate art.

What kind of person Wang Xiao is, it is not enough to describe him if he doesn't see a rabbit or an eagle.

Unless it is to complete the task, there is not enough benefit to him, and no one wants to take advantage of him.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought that if he invited Wang Xiao to enjoy the sword dance once, he would be able to get good things from Wang Xiao. That's too contemptuous.

In the face of the various temptations of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Xiao was concerned about his pushing.

The eldest grandson Wuji also gritted his teeth angrily.

If it weren't for Li Er's great value for Wang Xiao, he would have used the means a long time ago.

The grandly long grandson, the prime minister of the court can't cure you?

In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji should be grateful to Li Er. If he really attacked Wang Xiao, it would be a big deal to give up this mission with Wang Xiao's character.

But before giving up the mission and leaving, Wang Xiao will definitely let the eldest grandson Wuji and his eldest grandson family be completely finished.

Wang Xiao is now a great accomplishment in Zixia, and has been practicing all kinds of swordsmanship and knife techniques for a long time, as well as light skills and secret weapons. It is not a problem to defeat the head of Yue Da face-to-face.

As long as he was not besieged by the army and Wang Xiao was determined to be a killer, no one in this world would be able to stop him.

"Master Wang, have you ever been free today? The purple mandarin girl in the Spring Breeze Pavilion strokes a good piano, how about you and I go to listen to the piano together? ”

"Master Wang, I'm here again. Miss Lu Cai of Xunyulou is good at, how about tasting one or two? ”

"Master Wang, the weather is so good today, why don't we go to Baihualou to see Miss Luo Luo's flying dance?"

The eldest grandson Wuji came to invite Wang Xiao to play and discuss music and dance.

Wang Xiao has always refused to come in the face of sugar-coated cannonballs, and he will follow all the tricks.

Soon, Wang Xiao became a celebrity in Pingkangfang, because he was very, very generous.

The premise of this generosity is that the eldest grandson Wuji takes the initiative to invite guests.

Just kept coming and going, and when it came to the autumn harvest, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little anxious, and Wang Xiao finally gave him some benefits.

"The eldest grandson's family is smelting iron now, and they use charcoal, right? Why don't you change it and switch to a different fuel? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked curiously, "What is good to use?" ”

"There's something called stone paint, does the eldest grandson know it?"

"Stone paint, I've heard of it."

"Adults help me get more stone paint, and you will know if it's good or bad when the time comes."

Wang Xiao took his eldest grandson Wuji to the wine shop in Xishi. When he got to the backyard kitchen, he pointed to the bellows next to the stove and said, "When it comes to smelting iron, temperature is extremely important. You can add a bellows next to the stove to increase the furnace temperature. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately squatted down and carefully took care of a large number of bellows, and pulled the bellows himself for a while to feel it.

Looking at the blazing firelight, he nodded with satisfaction, "It is indeed useful, Wang Zhuang can rest assured, the matter of stone paint is wrapped in a certain body." ”

As the prime minister, it is not difficult for the eldest grandson Wuji to get the stone paint.

A month later, dozens of truckloads of stone paint were delivered to Wang Xiao's Zhuangzi.

"What can this thing do?"

Li Shimin, who is still in a white dragon fish suit, obviously listened to the description of the eldest grandson Wuji, and came over to see what it meant.

Wang Xiao, who was busy leading people to tinker with pots, cylinders, copper pipes and other equipment, responded directly, "When the things are distilled, you will know." ”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji just stood aside and watched Wang Xiao distilling stone paint.

The distilled oil and water are layered according to different layers and flow into different cylinders through copper pipes.

When a cylinder of gasoline came out, Wang Xiao directly took it aside to display.

Fell directly to the ground, ignited the fire and threw it over.

A blazing flame rose into the air.
