The provincial capitals of the capital, for many years, have been the province's business travelers, Confucian eunuchs to live in Beijing first choice, not only because of its low cost, but because of the authentic local cuisine in the hall, every night, here is the invitation of friends, the cups are staggered, a lot of noise.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and strange things spread thousands of miles.

In the past few days, a sensational news, as if it had grown wings, spread all the way from the south to the capital, and spread in people's mouths.

It is said that the prince invented a kind of "pressurized water well", which does not need to be dug or dug, but only needs to drill into the ground with an iron drill, and then bring water up from the ground.

Such an unbelievable thing is so simple that it is beyond people's imagination!

In the Henan Guild Hall, dozens of scholars from all over the country who came to the capital to prepare for this year's examination gathered together, drinking wine to warm their bodies, and when they chatted about state affairs, they were excited and angry for a while. Especially when it comes to the entry of Jiannu at the end of last year and the beginning of the year, he is even more full of indignation.

“…… Hey, if it weren't for the successive defeats of Jiannu in Nanzhili, tens of thousands of Jiannu would either be buried in the sea of fire, or die in the chaos, I'm afraid that Jiannu would have eroded the entire Jiangnan, but I am afraid that all parts of Jiangnan must be ruined. ”

"Yes, yes, thanks to the prince of the German clan at that time......"

"Hey, it's a pity, such a virtuous clan can only ......"

"What can it be? Didn't the Son of Heaven decree that the Prince of De should open in Lushun, my Ming Dynasty forbade this, His Majesty would actually break the ban of the Prince's army to open the mansion, if it wasn't for the virtuous ability, how could it be so? ”

"If I, Daming, still have the king here, how can I allow the East to run rampant?"

A scholar's casual remarks made everyone dumbfounded for a while, how could they not know why the Ming Dynasty had no Saiwang, and why they had always been extremely strict against the clan. Why do those vassal princes only like calligraphy, painting, and music, isn't it because it is too risky to love other things?

A virtuous feudal clan like the Tokufan ...... It is said that the Son of Heaven is dictatorial and breaks the ban, but in fact, who of you does not know the reason in your heart? In the mouth of the scholar who stayed in the south and Zhili, the son of virtue had a mixed reputation! On the one hand, if it weren't for the southward rush to help, Nanzhili didn't know how many people would have been captured and killed for the east, but on the other hand, he did kill many people! The six departments of Nanjing were almost killed by it.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

The people who were drinking were taking advantage of the wine, and Zhang Yijia heard Dong Mingkuan beside him ask a little mysteriously.

"What did you hear?"

"Yellow Spring!"

"Yellow Springs?"

"Yes, it's Huangquan."

Taking a sip of wine, Dong Mingkuan said.

"I heard Li Song from Jinan say that earlier, De Shizi made a "pressurized water well", which can go deep into the Yellow Spring and absorb the Yellow Spring water, even if it is a 100-day rainless drought, it can still press out the water! ”

"That's natural, not to mention a 100-day drought, or a multi-year drought, so how can Huangquan do it?"

"Oh, what kind of yellow spring water, it's just the opinion of a rural fool, even if you dig a well, you will first leach out muddy water, and then slowly become clear......"

"Digging wells is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the price of wells is high, and there is no water in the big drought wells, which is a long-term thing, do you forget the great drought in Henan in the past two years?"

When it came to the drought in his hometown, everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and when they heard this, Dong Mingkuan said.

"But the pressurized water well of De Shizi, but there is no such worry, I heard that Shandong is also a hundred days without rain this year, but the water flow is continuous!"

"Yes, what's more important is that I heard that the pressurized water well is a well, and it only takes a few people more than an hour to dig a well!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that each well is only a few taels of silver!"

"Ah, it's so cheap, is it real or fake?"

In the eyes of almost everyone, such a well is naturally a great thing for the people of the whole world, especially in the year of great drought without rain for 100 days in various places, the importance is naturally self-evident.

Especially for northern provinces like Henan, which have been plagued by a major drought for several years, pressurized water wells can sweep away the disadvantages of old wells, and even if they are in drought for a long time, they can be used normally, which is not a great thing that can live millions of people.

Perhaps these scholars come from different backgrounds, including wealthy families and ordinary people, but they always pay attention to "farming and reading heirlooms", even if they are rich families, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and the land is so dry that there is no harvest, and they also can't receive grain. Of course, many of them come from poor backgrounds, and they need pressurized wells, after all, there is no harvest in the year of the great drought at home, and their families must starve to death at that time. In this way, the big guy is naturally quite concerned about such things.

If the pressurized water well can really press out the yellow spring water from the ground, doesn't it mean that even in a year of great drought, they can collect rent normally and have a harvest?

How good is that?

You must know that in the year of the great drought, even if they forcibly collect rent, in the end they will force the tenant farmers to flee and become homeless, not to mention that they cannot receive a bucket of grain, if the tenant farmers are reduced to homeless people and scattered in all directions, it will cause civil unrest, and when the time, the displaced people will turn into bandits, raid the countryside, rob the gentry's house and kill people and rob grain, not to mention, it is a large loss of tenant farmers, and when the wind and rain are good in the coming year, who will farm for them?

No one farms, and those fields are useless waste.

But if the pressurized water well can draw water from the ground normally during the great drought, there will be no need to worry about the great drought from now on, and as for those of them who are in charge, they will naturally be able to collect rent normally!

I heard that De Shizi worked tirelessly in the workshop for dozens of days for this "pressurized water well" before greatly improving the process and making this pressurized water iron well. ”

"Iron well?"

"Yes, it's an iron well, and the water is drawn from the ground by the iron well."

"It's unbelievable to draw water from the ground with iron wells. Such a strange well has been created, and the people of the world will definitely benefit from it, but now only the people of Shandong can use it, which is really a pity. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Just as they were saying pity, I don't know who pointed to the door and said.

"Hey, that's not Jinan Li Song, please ask Li Song to tell me what the iron well looks like."

Li Song, who was originally invited by his friends to come to the Henan Hall for a party, was invited to surround him as soon as he entered the door, asking him to introduce the "pressurized water well", especially when he learned that he had seen the pressurized water well, he asked anxiously.

"Brother Li...... What does this pressurized water well look like? Is it good to use? ”

"It's really easy to use, as long as someone presses the well, you can continuously produce water, and my Shandong father can be said to have benefited a lot!"

When Li Song spoke, in order to show respect, he even deliberately waved his hands in the direction of his hometown.

"Thanks to the wells made by Shizi, many places in Shandong will definitely be able to survive the drought year this year."

"Oh, the people of Shandong are blessed, blessed......"

When others were praising him, someone suddenly said on the side.

"Such a good thing, how can the prince of the world let Shandong alone, I heard that the prince has already let the bookstore print the book "Pressurized Water Well Law", this well will be divided into the world, as long as all over the country according to the well law of a book to cast wells, wells, can make such wells!"

"Ah, the prince actually printed the well method into a book, if so, this is a great thing for my Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, yes! Ming'er, let's go to the bookstore to have a look, and if there are books, send them home, and tell the family to follow the well method......"

"Oops, farewell, farewell, little brother one step ahead......"

The scholar who was chatting with the big guy suddenly got up and left in a hurry as if he remembered something, and the others were surprised when they saw this, only to think that those books are always limited, what if the books are bought by others?

This book is not only a book, it is not only a well that can save people from fire and water, but also fame!

It's even more wealth!

As soon as everyone thought that they were still in the mood to eat and drink, they all got up one after another to say goodbye and hurried towards the study building......

A mere book means too many things for these scholars gathered in the capital, and they all tried their best to get such a book, even if there were thousands of copies, but in the end it was still not enough, and in the end, such a book was actually fried to dozens of taels of silver.

For Fang Yizhi, of course, he didn't care about such a little silver, and after buying a copy at a high price, he stayed in the room and read it. After studying for a few days, the more she studied, the more she felt that the design of this pressurized water well was extremely ingenious, and she couldn't help but sigh:

"This pressurized water well is really ingenious, and the design is also extremely exquisite, with a bamboo into the ground can be pumped from three and a half feet deep underground water, it is really incredible! The heaviest thing is to drill that kind of well, which is really cheap. ”

"That's true, the pressurized water well is very cheap, as long as the iron rod is inserted into the ground, you need a well maker to dig a well to dig a well that is more than 3 zhang deep, and you don't need to worry about the well drying up in the year of the TV drought, which is a baby who saves people's lives again,"

After sighing, Sun Zhijie said again.

"I've thought about it in the past two days, it's better to go to Liaodong to serve than to bury his fame, the prince is indeed a rare virtuous domain in my Ming Dynasty, I want to enter his shogunate and avenge the country's hatred!"

The words of his friend made Fang Yizhi suddenly dumbfounded, Sun Zhijie is Sun Chengzong's grandson, Chongzhen Eleven, Donglu attacked Gaoyang, Sun Chengzong led the people and their families to defend the city, and after the city was broken, he hanged himself, and the Sun family almost died, and only a few people survived because they were in the field.

Actually, the Fang family and Dongyu also have a family feud!

"I also have this intention, don't want this fame."

Fang Yizhi laughed. In fact, he has been thinking about this matter, Fang Yizhi, who has been worried about state affairs for many years, has also been paying attention to the prince, although he missed the opportunity to defect to him, but it is not too late to go. Wouldn't it be better to have someone with you now?
