Chapter 53: First Sight of Li Yan
After a series of trimming and debugging with Liu Chan as the "chief engineer", the waterwheel has been in the equipment that can be officially popularized, Zhuge Liang's reply is also very simple, the general meaning is that it is piloted in Wuyang, if the effect is still good, it will be implemented to the entire Yizhou, and further radiate to the world.

Liu Chan couldn't help but admire, who said that the wisdom of the ancients was not as good as that of modern people? As early as the end of the Han Dynasty nearly 2,000 years, there was already a mature concept of first piloting and then popularizing.
However, even if he got Zhuge Liang's approval, he still had to go to the county guard mansion to record, how to say that he also learned that Li Yan said, he was new to the city, and the lack of manpower was secondary, and more importantly, he didn't want to let Li Yan have a feeling that he was going to empty his power by coming over at this stage.
Although this was indeed part of the plan, the subtle way was the wisest choice when his own strength was not strong, and he didn't want to end up with a notoriety of bullying people with the life of the young master.
"Uncle Ding, go to the county guard mansion first to hand over the official letter, order someone to prepare the car, and I will go later." He beckoned to Ding Xun, the old butler who was waiting on the side.
"No."
……
This time, Li Yan did not have the slightest reason to refuse his visit, if it was forgivable to refuse for a banquet before, then this time it was for official business, and if he refused again, it would be a little ignorant.
Therefore, when Liu Chan arrived at the gate of the county guard's mansion, there was already a small servant at the door to greet him, and when Liu Chan walked to the main hall, Li Yan had already put on his formal clothes and was waiting at the door.
If it was someone else, he could still take his identity and sit inside, but Liu Chan, to be honest, he didn't go out to greet him, which was already a little disrespectful.
"Young master, don't blame, the old minister's leg injury has not healed, and there have been doctors who have warned him not to do more, so he waited here early, and he was really scared." But his voice was leisurely, and there was not half of the trepidation he had said.
Liu Chan didn't care either, and held Li Yan's arms that bowed down to plead guilty, he actually wanted to help him even more, to see how this guy behaved with himself, of course, this can only be just a thought, and he can't jump away from the routine in the officialdom after all.
"After all, I can't be the kind of city that is as stable as Mount Tai with the eight winds of cheap daddy." When Liu Chan sighed in his heart, the two had already walked into the house and sat opposite each other.
"The young master's official letter said that there is something important to discuss, I don't know what it is?" After a few words of greeting, Li Yan took the lead in asking.
The official letter handed by Liu Chan before clearly stated that this matter was related to the people's livelihood, and the people's livelihood in the mouth of a young master, where did he dare to underestimate it.
Liu Chan cleared his throat unhurriedly before he said, "I wonder if Taishou is familiar with farming?" ”
Li Yan frowned when he heard this, in fact, although he was not a family valve, his family was also quite prosperous, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to sit in this position. Therefore, he really didn't know much about farming, except for the above tables he received every season, and the occasional ordinary inspections of the people.
Li Yan didn't answer directly, but bypassed this question and replied: "What the young master said today seems to be related to this. ”
"But so." It seems that the other party does not understand that there are pros and cons to this matter, and the advantage is that he will not interfere in the command of this matter; The disadvantage is that if you don't understand, you will have doubts, and if you have doubts, you will not be able to get his support so easily.
After thinking about it, Liu Chan leaned forward slightly, he had heard in his previous life that leaning forward during negotiations could create a sense of prestige, and now he felt that it was a good time to try.
"I want to carry out a new waterwheel in Wuyang, which can greatly reduce the amount of labor of farmers in daily farming and carrying water, and can be further developed, setting up canals to directly transport water from rivers to land, completely eliminating the pain of carrying water, and making farmland irrigation more in-depth and increasing the amount of autumn harvest."
Liu Chan's words made Li Yan surprised, this kind of design he had never heard of, although he didn't know much about it, but the basic common sense was still there, the matter of transporting the water in the river directly to the land was not something that no one had imagined, but it was only an idea, it was difficult to implement, and it was not as convenient as carrying water.
And what he thinks more about is not that it is not convenient for farmers to farm, scholars and low-level civilians are two classes, and few children of the family will care about the people's livelihood, even if it is Liu Bei, it is because he was not a famous family in his early years, Liu Bei's mother raised him by selling straw mats when he was a child, so he paid so much attention to the people.
But Li Yan is not, what he is thinking about at the moment is whether he can use this thing to transport the river water to the city. You must know that well water alone can meet the needs of a mansion, but in fact, bath water alone is mostly used for repeated heating.
Bathing, for people at this time, is really not a simple matter, otherwise bathing and changing clothes and burning incense sacrifices will not be raised to a level.
"This thing, so amazing?" Of course, Li Yan will not expose what he thinks in his heart like this, after all, the love for the people on the official face must still be maintained.
Liu Chan said solemnly: "This thing has been mentioned by the family teacher Mr. Zhuge now, and now it has a finished product, if you are in doubt, the kid can take Li Junshou to take a look, and he will know if it is fake." ”
Seeing this, Li Yan waved his hand again and again, and said: "How can the minister doubt the meaning of the young master, but under the minister's loneliness and ignorance, how do you know that the young master and the military general have designed such a divine object, so that the people of Wuyang and even Yizhou must deeply feel the kindness of the two." Saying this, he thought in his heart that this thing should be true, but how to get Liu Chan to design one for himself.
"In this way, the kid also got the approval of the family teacher, and this time he came to Li Junshou to ask for a piece of paperwork, and fortunately, it was implemented unimpeded in this Wuyang territory."
Li Yan nodded, his face was serious, and he beckoned to the side, "Go get a few pieces of official paper and my document and print, go quickly!" ”
The butler, who heard the order, immediately stepped forward to answer, and then quickly stepped back.
Seeing this, Li Yan turned his head and smiled at Liu Chan and said, "Young master, wait a moment, since the military advisor has decided on this matter, the minister will write down the document and hand it to the young master at this moment, so that such a major matter to improve people's livelihood can be implemented as soon as possible!" ”
"So good! Li Junshou is really a person who loves the people like a son! A smile also appeared at the corner of Liu Chan's mouth.
As for whether Li Junshou really loves the people, he doesn't want to delve into it, as long as the other party doesn't get in the way of his affairs, it's enough over there.
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the hearts of the people enter the water, which is unpredictable, and can carry a boat or overturn a boat. In addition to his cheap dad who understands this truth, how many people are there in this world now? ”
……
By the time he walked out of the county guard's mansion, Liu Chan's next mission had been successfully completed, but he did not plan to implement this waterwheel method on a large scale in the near future.
He was waiting for the results of Zhongshu's "research", this was his first government work here, and he must be perfect, but he didn't want others to see the jokes.
