Chapter 637: Someone is worried about the drawings

Wang Ping'an was full of smiles, he was also excited, he used to do everything just to make plans, and did not really preside over the implementation, this is the first time, he made his own plans, presided over the implementation, and achieved success, how can he not be excited!

Wang Ping'an rushed to Jiang Shuiqing and said: "Lord Jiang is too modest, this waterwheel is not my work alone, it is the result of everyone's concerted efforts, don't you also help assemble it, otherwise how can it be so smooth?" Therefore, the credit belongs to everyone, it belongs to everyone! ”

Jiang Shuiqing felt a little embarrassed, this prince can be comfortable, he is not arrogant, and he has benefits and shares them with others, there are countless officials in the court, but like him, it seems that he has never seen it. There is merit, who doesn't desperately pull on himself, how can there be a reason to send it out, even if he changes himself, he can't be as generous as Wang Ping'an!

At this time, an official of the Ministry of Industry shouted: "It can be built bigger, judging from the current situation, it can also build a larger waterwheel, but the current one is not big enough, not big to the limit!" ”

Other officials also shouted: "Yes, it can be bigger, the water can be raised higher, no matter how high the river bank is, no matter how low the river water is, this kind of waterwheel can completely cope with it!" ”

They are all professionals, laymen look at the lively, experts look at the doorway, they just observe, they understand that the power of this waterwheel has not yet reached the limit, can be improved, can play a greater role!

Wang Ping'an smiled, of course he knew that this kind of waterwheel could be better, not to mention that it was used in the Xiaoliang River, even if it was used in the Yellow River, it could also exert great power!

The people cheered and ran to the river, looking at the speed and volume of water lifted, many people who were skilled in farm work shouted: "This waterwheel can water three or four hundred acres of land, and there can be more, and more!" ”

A waterwheel can water three or four hundred acres of land, which is simply an astronomical amount in the era of manpower to water the fields, and no one's strong labor can do this! This waterwheel can only be described by the word miracle, and there is no other word to express it clearly!

Wang Ping'an laughed and said: "Okay, as long as it's useful, we're not busy in vain!" Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has worked hard during this time, and when the drawings of the canal are drawn, everyone begins to dig the canal, and dig the canal to the edge of their own fields, even if there is a drought this year, as long as the big and small rivers are not dry, they can cope with the past, and there will be a bumper harvest year! ”

The people cheered loudly, as if they had seen a good harvest year, as long as the water was used, as long as the land did not dry up, the fields could have a harvest, then there was hope, what is their hard work, it is ten thousand times better than begging for the main village!

I don't know who got the head, knelt down for Wang Ping'an, and shouted to the master of Qingtian, the people knelt down together, kowtowed to Wang Ping'an, their gratitude was the most sincere, not fake at all, every people have rods and scales in their hearts, and the officials are not dedicated to the people, they know very well in their hearts!

Wang Ping'an hurriedly went to help, but there were too many people, so he couldn't help him, so he had to clasp his fists and return the salute vigorously, telling everyone to hurry up.

The people shouted and shouted, and suddenly they called out the god of peace and water, and the cry became louder and louder, and they were uniform: "The god of peace and water, the god of peace and water!" The voice was heard far away, miles away!

Di Renjie was also very excited, and said: "Big brother, in addition to the little doctor of peace, you have another nickname, the god of peace and water, this nickname is even louder, I believe that soon, it will be famous all over the world, and the world will know it!" ”

Wang Ping'an was also full of spirit, as if the world was in my chest, and there was nothing difficult in things. He raised his hands high, motioned for the people to get up, and said: "What is this, this has just begun, and it will take a long time to promote the waterwheel to the whole world!" ”

Jiang Shuiqing also said on the side: "It's not easy, although this waterwheel is good, but the cost is high, not ordinary people can afford to build, even if the whole of Gyeongju uses this kind of waterwheel, I'm afraid it is very rare, let alone tens of thousands of yuan!" ”

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's hundreds of thousands, I'm not afraid that no one will buy good things!" ”

Jiang Shuiqing sighed, he touched into his arms, touched the drawings, and said: "But this waterwheel is not difficult to build, as long as you have the heart and financial resources, everyone can build it, as long as you buy one, you can disassemble it, it is difficult to invent, but it is much easier to imitate, maybe the master imitates it, it is even better than the current one!" ”

The problem of copycats, not to mention that there is no patent law now, even if there is patent protection in the future, it is extremely difficult to solve!

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Yes, I know, so I don't plan to sell it for long, but I will sell it this year, and I won't sell it again in the future." Moreover, if you want to vigorously promote it, you must benefit the people all over the world, and you are not allowed to imitate it, so where can it be! ”

He saw that Jiang Shui didn't understand, and said with a smile: "It's just that the first waterwheel is difficult to build, and the future will be easy, and the cost will not be so high, but people who have never been in contact with it, just by looking at it, of course, they can understand it after a long time, but if you want to understand the principle this year, and then imitate it, it is not much easier than ascending to the sky." So we just need to let the businessmen from other places come to see the waterwheel, and then customize it, and deliver it next year, only one delivery, it is enough to earn tens of thousands of yuan, Gyeongju benefits, the world benefits! ”

Jiang Shuiqing blinked his eyes and didn't squeak.

Wang Ping'an waited for the cheers of the people to stop for a while, and then loudly asked the people to leave, spread the news, and then went home to prepare tools, the era of Gyeongju canal repair is coming soon!

The people were reluctant to leave, they still gathered by the river, watching the miracle, watching the safe waterwheel!

Wang Ping'an smiled at Jiang Shuiqing and said: "Lord Jiang, you can return the drawings to me, but please keep them confidential and don't leak the drawings, even if you want to tell others, you have to wait until next year to say it, can this be guaranteed?" ”

Jiang Shuiqing sighed, returned the drawings to Wang Ping'an, and said, "Keep it secret?" This is easy, how can the lower officials talk to others about it, and our people in the Ministry of Industry have always been strict-mouthed, and since the founding of the country, no official of the Ministry of Industry has ever leaked secrets. ”

The Ministry of Industry belongs to the place with the most professional knowledge, and the secrets are no less than those of the Ministry of Officials, so as soon as officials enter the Ministry of Industry, they must first control their own mouths, and strict mouths are their common characteristics, and even spending money cannot buy news from their mouths.

Wang Ping'an nodded and said: "That's good, I didn't believe what you meant, just a little reminder, so as not to have an accident, everyone's face is not good-looking." ”

"The prince can rest assured of this. However, there is something unclear about the lower officials, that is, the sale of water wheels, what will be delivered next year, and the lower officials didn't understand? Jiang Shuiqing didn't know anything about doing business, Wang Ping'an said it in a simple way, but he didn't understand.

Wang Ping'an smiled: "This, it's not easy to explain, let's talk about it later!" ”

Di Renjie said: "Actually, it's not difficult to explain, let me tell Lord Jiang for my eldest brother!" He pointed to the field by the river and said, "I want to plant crops, but the farmer has no seeds, so he goes and borrows them from the rich man, saying, "Lend me seeds and tools, and I will give you back grain in the autumn." ”

Jiang Shuiqing nodded and said, "I understand this." Are you saying that the drawings are the seeds, and the waterwheels that are being built now are the samples of the grain? The prince borrowed money from the merchants and then built a waterwheel for them? Is this a deposit? ”

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Yes, let the businessmen know that the waterwheel is a good thing, they are naturally willing to spend money to customize, and if we don't give them the waterwheel first, they won't be able to imitate it...... Big brother, you don't need to give them a waterwheel, just give them the drawings and let them build them themselves! ”

Wang Ping'an patted the drawings in his arms and said with a smile: "Yes, just give them the drawings, is it difficult for me to make finished products for them, first, there are not so many carpenters, and secondly, they can't transport it, in case it is a businessman from Chang'an, is it difficult to transport some wooden buckets back thousands of miles?" I can't do it! ”

Jiang Shuiqing sighed and said, "If you say that, then the lower officials will understand." But in this way, this drawing is very important, and it is all up to it to draw money to Gyeongju! As he spoke, he turned around and left, and said, "The lower official will go and instruct the people who have seen the drawings not to leak it, and if anyone dares to say it, they will be severely punished!" ”

Di Renjie looked at Wang Ping'an, tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "Big brother, you have to keep this drawing, don't lose it, in the eyes of the younger brother, it is best to keep it for Ouyang Li, then it is foolproof." ”

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Of course I know this, but well, I'll make a bells and whistles first, if anyone dares to hit the idea of drawings, I will let him be injured." ”

He waved his hand and said loudly, "Boss Du, come here." ”

Boss Du heard this and hurried over. Wang Ping'an took out the drawings, handed them to him in public, and said, "You take it, don't let people steal it." Also, if there is something to improve, it should be noted on the drawing in time. ”

Boss Du nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, the villain will never lose the drawings." ”

Wang Ping'an hummed, asked someone to lead the horse, turned over the horse, and took Boss Du and the others back to the riverside village. After entering the village, a group of dogs naturally greeted them with joy.

Wang Ping'an took out the money and distributed it to the carpenter, and then took some money and sent it to the villagers, thanking them for their support in building the waterwheel, and explained in public that if someone came here and wanted to steal the drawings, they must help guard them and not let the drawings be lost. Naturally, the villagers agreed.

Wang Ping'an went to Boss Du's house, only called in Boss Du, closed the doors and windows, I don't know what to say inside, after a long time, he came out, his expression was flat, he couldn't see anything, and the Boss Du who followed behind looked strange, as if Wang Ping'an said something important to him, and he was trying to keep it a secret.

Wang Ping'an gave a few words of encouragement, and then took a group of subordinates back to Gyeongju City, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry were still watching the waterwheel carrying water, so they did not go back with him.

On the side of the Xiaoliang River, among the countless people, there was a group of people, all of whom were wearing tattered clothes, with dirty faces, and they couldn't see their true faces, and they looked poorer than ordinary Gyeongju people, but they didn't know which village they belonged to.

Among these people, there are two people with their hands behind their backs, looking at the rotating safe waterwheel, looking intently, with strange expressions on their faces, but there is a little surprise.

This group of people is the staff and capable people sent by Li Ke, the king of Wu, one of these two backers is He staff, and the other is Lu staff, that is, the two super unjust people who spend 100 yuan to eat in the medicinal food workshop, but have to pay 60 yuan to the Montessori brothers for a huge amount of wine!

They have already arrived in Gyeongju, has been lurking in the city, every day Wang Ping'an goes out, they also come out, Wang Ping'an returned to the city, they also followed back to the city, but no matter how diligent they worked, but they never found out the secret of Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi, Wang Ping'an has hardly seen any suspicious characters except for his own family, and according to the analysis of the staff, even if there is something weird, it is impossible to come out of Wang Ping'an's family, so the Wang family does not need to pay attention, but the Du boss is quite suspicious.

They also knew that Boss Du was building a waterwheel, but they had no interest in these things, whether the people were dead or alive, whether they were full or hungry, it was none of their business, they only cared about whether they could be promoted and rich, and be reused by King Wu.

But as time went by, they never got useful information, and they were anxious, but today there was a huge strange waterwheel by the Xiaoliang River, which could not only lift the water ashore, but Wang Ping'an also got the nickname of the god of Ping'an.

There is no need to analyze this time, the powerful people of Wu Wangfu have understood, it has been done for a long time, it is such a broken water wheel, this is the secret of Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi!

He staff whispered: "Brother Lu, if this waterwheel is popularized, then Wang Ping'an's name will be even louder, and after it is introduced to Beijing, the prince's position will be more consolidated, and if the prince wants to take action, I am afraid it will be even more difficult!" ”

Staff Lu squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "You also saw it just now, that Wang Ping'an attaches great importance to that Du carpenter, and handed over the drawings to him, why don't we get the drawings out and hand them over to King Wu, what do you think?" ”

He staff pondered for a moment in a scholarly manner, and said: "Then let the prince dedicate the drawings to the emperor, saying that he invented them, and then we will warn Wang Ping'an as King Wu's henchman, let him cooperate a little, and give the first credit to the prince, and forgive Wang Ping'an and dare not agree, in this way, the prince will not overshadow the prince!" ”

Staff Lu felt that this idea was very ranciful, but he couldn't think of anything better, he said: "Wang Ping'an may not know each other, if he is tough, refuses to give credit, and tells the prince about this, wouldn't the prince be bad?" ”

"That's right!" He thought for a while, and then said: "Wang Ping'an can't ask for anything from the prince, so naturally he won't listen to the prince's words, this is nothing to ask for, what if there is something to be afraid of?" Grab him a handle, won't everything be good! ”

Staff Lu shook his head and said: "What kind of handle, we came all the way here, isn't it just to catch his handle, but after following him for many days, he hasn't revealed any handle, what you said is equivalent to not saying it!" ”

Suddenly, a strange smell of garlic rushed over, and as soon as the two of them covered their noses and dodged to the side, they saw a big head sticking out, a capable person.

This capable person sighed at the two of them first, and then said: "If you want to make Wang Ping'an obedient, it's too easy, as long as you tie up his family and let him do it, what will he do!" ”
