Endless fields.

Among the scorched fields, there were one, two, one or two people walking.

"Chirizuki! Chidi Qianli! ”

Suddenly, the old man raised his face and let out a long, terrifying howl. His voice was hoarse, and when he shouted these words, his face was full of despair, despair for the future.

The young man watched blankly, watching the old man lose his soul. At this moment, the shouts of joy of the people were heard in the fields ahead.

"Out of the water, out of the water......"

The excited young man kept pressing the iron handle of the well, as if he wanted to press out all the water at once, and the muddy water pressed out of the wellhead flowed down the field, although it was only muddy water, but it gave hope to the onlookers.

"Oops, it's really out of the water, it's really out of the water!"

"This is really a god, the iron rod poked the ground, and then installed a bamboo and a well, and the water came out as soon as it was pressed."

"But no, my God, what about Li Jingjiang? At the beginning, he said that if the iron well could produce water, he would take his eyes out......"

"That's it, if he buttons his eyes today, he will have to let him dig a few wells for our village."

"How can you use a wellsmith to dig this iron well?"

"No, as long as you are strong and poke on the ground, you can make four or five wells in half a day......

The emergence of pressurized water wells has completely subverted the people's perception of wells, and the emergence of wells has brought the scorched fields back to green again, and also made people see hope in this drought.

Sometimes, in times like these, all that is needed is hope.

In the evening of that day, as soon as the sedan chair was parked in front of the prefect's yamen, Xin Zixiu, who had been running around for a day, got out of the sedan chair.

"The master is back so soon?"

The old servant raised a lantern to light the way.

Xin Zixiu, who had a calm face and hurriedly entered the door, asked as he walked.

"Ah Wang, is Shi Gongzi here? I have something to ask her! ”

Ngawang listened and said quickly.

"Is the master seeing Shi Gongzi? I'm going to call him......"

"It's so late, I'm going to see him!"

After that, Xin Zixiu went straight to the backyard, and when he came to the house where Shi Yiwen lived, he heard the words coming from the house.

“…… The principle of pressing out the well is to pass a well pipe into the underground diving layer, there is a piston above the well head, and there is a valve below, the piston and the valve are a one-way valve, so that the air goes up and not down, when the piston goes up, the valve opens, and the air in the pipe below can be pumped to the upper cavity, when the piston goes down, the valve is closed, and the air comes out from the piston side, so the circulation will pump the pipe below into a vacuum, and the water will be pumped up under the action of atmospheric pressure......

Pacing in the room, Shi Yiwen said, and Zhang Jingxiu was there to remember.

"Zhiyuan, what is atmospheric pressure?"

After a pause, Zhang Jingxiu asked curiously.

"This atmospheric pressure ......"

Just as he was about to explain, Shi Yiwen said again.

"Zixuan, this atmospheric pressure is troublesome to explain, in fact, I wrote this "Pressurized Water Well Method", is to let everyone in the world know how to press the well, as for the principle, it doesn't matter if they understand it or not, the most important thing is to spread this well method, so that in the future, if every household has a pressurized water well, I will no longer have to worry about a major drought!"

Shi Yiwen's words made Xin Zixiu, who was about to enter the house, startled, and then listened to Zhang Xuechang ask.

"No more worries about drought? Is this possible? ”

"How could it not be?"

Hand-cranked folding fan, Shi Yiwen smiled,

"Dig a pressurized water well, at most two taels of silver, a pressurized water well can be watered ten acres of land every day, although it takes some physical strength, but it is better than drought when there is no water available, as long as there is a well, even if there is a big drought, as long as there is this well, there is no worry about the crops without harvest, so that the people will no longer have to worry about the drought."

Hearing this, Xin Zixiu walked into the room, and his tone was a little excited.

"Zhiyuan, you quickly write out this well method, when the pressurized water well is popular all over the world, there will be millions of beneficiaries from my Ming people! After the book was completed, the official wrote to the imperial court to implement this law throughout the country, and at that time, the people of the world will no longer suffer from a great drought. ”

Compared with the occasional drought in the south, the severe drought in the north has displaced many families and sold their children to make ends meet. As a native of Xiangcheng, Henan, Xin Zixiu naturally saw the benefits of pressurized water wells in the world.

Putting away the paper fan in his hand, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"In this way, there will be a labor relief platform."

"What kind of work are you talking about here?"

Waving his hand, Xin Zixiu said again.

"However, the key to this pressurized water well is to have an iron-cast wellhead, if there is no wellhead, there is only a well method of drilling wells, I am afraid it is useless."

Looking at Shi Yiwen, Xin Zixiu said.

"Now, although the iron shops inside and outside Shenzhou City are trying their best to cast wells, there are only a dozen of them made every day, and these dozen wells, not to mention the field, even the Shenzhou Mansion itself is not enough! Now in order to compete for the well, the villages have increased the price to buy, even if the price is not increased! There are no iron wells in the county! ”

Picking up the draft of the well method on the table, Xin Zixiu sighed.

"Although this well is simple, but a well needs to use nearly thirty catties of iron, a well seems to use not much iron, but only a deep state, there are not thousands of wells are not enough, when the old man went to the countryside with Li Zhixian today, the squire in the village even asked the old man to allow them to remove the iron bell in the bell tower on the city wall and cast the well, but even so, it can only cast more than 100 wells, more monks and less porridge, more monks and less porridge!"

Thinking of the appearance of the villages in the countryside vying for the well, Xin Zixiu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

"It's easy to do."

Hearing Xin Zixiu say this, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"If the iron is not enough, just run an iron factory to make iron, well, I have an iron factory in Zunhua, if you need it, you can buy iron directly from there, or even directly cast it into a well, and the well head produced by the iron factory can be transported through the canal......"

mentioned his iron factory, Shi Yiwen's eyes suddenly lit up. It's also a good deal, how can I forget about this stubble. Cast wells also require a lot of iron, so isn't this a good time to expand sales?

"Oh? Really? ”

Xin Zixiu's face immediately appeared with joy, and he looked at Shi Yiwen and said.

"Do you have an iron factory? That's great, this matter will be handled by Zhiyuan, I don't know what Zhiyuan thinks? ”

For Xin Zixiu's request, of course Shi Yiwen will not refuse, saving people and making money is not wrong, which is also a good thing. So I agreed, after all, this is a good thing in itself.
