"The waterwheel, my gentleman said, it's called the keel waterwheel." Yu Xi's head was held high, and he was very proud of it.

"Chengyi is mostly dry land, and the terrain is high, and there is no water to irrigate it. The gentleman and Mr. Ji ordered the craftsman to make a keel waterwheel, teach the subordinate farmers to turn it, and irrigate it to cover themselves. ”

Zhao Guangde exclaimed: "Such a magical and exquisite thing, I have never seen it in Wendi and Xinjiang. ”

Yu Xi pointed to the ditches in the fields and said: "There are also these ditches that divert water, which were drawn by the gentleman and Mr. Ji, and let us dig them with the guards and savages, so that from then on, it will be several times more convenient for the people to get water for irrigation." ”

Zhao Wuxian listened to the conversation between the two, smiling, keel waterwheel, also known as "overturning" or "treadmill" in later generations, is a "big project" that he has been busy with for half a year before.

In the original history, this object was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, but it has been used in later generations, playing a huge role in agricultural irrigation, until the emergence of electric water pumps, it slowly withdrew from people's field of vision. In his previous life, in the countryside around his hometown of Ganshan, he could occasionally see one or two, and when he was a child, he used to lie on it and use it as a toy and stepped on it happily, so he had some impressions.

It was for the sake of making this thing that Ji Qiao was asked to study the principle of composite pulleys and axles, and his composite bow, which also made use of axles, could only be regarded as a by-product of it.

But this task is easier said than done.

The keel waterwheel in front of you can cross the height difference of two or three meters and lift water directly from the stream to the farmland, which seems to be a simple principle, but to create it from scratch, it also takes a lot of thought and a lot of thought. He discussed with Ji Qiao, and after drawing the design drawings on the slip, it took several months just to ask the craftsman to build the components and then splice them one by one, during which he failed several times, and almost gave up in frustration.

In addition, because of the limited manpower, there are not many productions, so they can only be placed in key locations.

As the Book of Poetry says: "The rain is my public field, and then my private land", in addition to the township temple public field, as long as he participated in the winter planting and field method, he was placed in a frame without a shirt, and it was regarded as the welfare of each li to support him.

As for the Cheng manor, which took a non-cooperative stance, and the Sang Yang Weng family, which was the "control group". Zhao Wuxian's attitude is, since you want to go alone, then find a way to go by yourself, do not take risks and obligations, but want to enjoy the rights? How could there be such an easy thing to do......

What's more, if not, how can the people who participated in the winter planting have a sense of superiority?

As for the large dump water wheel, with the current level of technology and human resources in Chengyi, it is simply impossible to manufacture. Because just to build these most primitive keel waterwheels, coupled with the excavation of ditches in key positions, has been extremely hurtful to the people, once caused the people to complain, fortunately the three elders of the township into the witch flickered properly, plus the wheat harvest is expected, only to press the flame of resistance.

Moreover, these waterwheels, by the way, have completely exhausted the money and silk obtained by the Cheng family, a big dog killer last time, and now the treasury is empty, and they can run mice!

Gradually, walking close to the township temple, Zhao Guangde looked at it and saw that the houses here, even the tallest township temple, were ordinary and simple, and the Wendi township was generally simple.

The strange thing is that in the whole township, whether it is in the alleys or in the house, there is silence, only chickens and dogs. It seems that all the people here have fled the desert overnight......

Zhao Guangde was puzzled: "Why is there no one in the township?" ”

As soon as he said this, he heard a tsunami shouting from not far away!

……

When Wuxian took Zhao Guangde and others to walk to the threshing floor outside the township temple, the little fat man found that this place had been surrounded by the people of the whole township. As if he was holding a temple and a village shooting, the crowd was full of voices and lively, and he tried to see the situation inside on tiptoe, but he couldn't see it really.

"The gentleman has arrived, second and third sons! Let it all go, move your position! Tian Ben's loud voice shouted, and everyone looked back, and sure enough, it was a gentleman with deep clothes and wide sleeves, a jade ring on his waist, and a rather dignified gentleman.

Wuxian's prestige in Chengyi is now in full swing, and the people have spread the word.

"What a gentleman is back!"

So without waiting for Zhao Bing and the townsmen who were maintaining order to come over to guide them, the people invariably moved their positions to the side, making way for Wuxian and his party to make a narrow passage made of human walls. The passage went straight to the small mound with the best view, where, from below the Wuxian, the highest military governor of Chengyi, the townsman Sima Yangyurong, was looking into the field with great interest, and applauded from time to time.

It turned out that seeing that the military and political affairs of Wuxian in Chengyi had gradually improved, Wang Sunqi resigned from the position of township Sima a few days ago and took charge of the position of emperor. Wuxian knew Wang Sunqi's concerns, he was the only person who had not pledged allegiance to Wuxian, and his identity was a little delicate and embarrassing.

The Wang Sun clan is a proud descendant of the Zhou family, and will only bow to the suzerain and son of the Zhao family, which is the ancestral training left by their clan for a hundred years after entering the Jin Dynasty. Doing things under Wuxian is just a matter of respecting Zhao Ying's decision, and if there is an order, Wang Sunqi will still leave at any time.

He couldn't resist him, so he could only approve it, but at the same time, he asked Wang Sunqi to do the same thing as Ji Qiao, and serve as a military adviser by his side. As a result, Yang Yurong was promoted to an official again, as the township Sima, and at the same time, he also served as the chief of the main and second pawns.

Although Yang Tongue Rong is very loyal, some time ago, the commander was more pawn, and he also worked hard and did a lot of things for Wuxi. But the authority cannot be in the hands of one person, and Wuxian plans to promote another two Sima as the commander, but who to use, he is still hesitating in his heart.

Seeing the arrival of the shirtless, the sheep tongue turned and bowed.

Wuxian put away his thoughts and helped him up with a smile: "Xiang Sima doesn't have to be polite, what is the situation in the field?" ”

Yang Yurong has been smooth sailing in the past six months, all the way up, his round face is full of joy, he replied: "Let the gentleman know that Xia and Jing's each have entered a battle, and it is the time when it is difficult to solve!" ”

"Good, I'm not too late."

Zhao Wuxian pointed inside: "Cousin, look, this is Keju, do you think it's interesting?" ”

Zhao Guangde followed his cousin and walked along the road surrounded by the crowd, and a blue-green grassland appeared in front of him, and the bare yellow surface could be seen in several places.

In the middle of the field, the former uneven threshing floor has long been bulldozed by the soldiers who are very interested, and they have sprinkled grass seeds without mercy, and it has become a green field after spring. In Chengyi, since the beginning of spring, there has been a Keju competition every ten days.

At present, there are 11 people on the field, one side wears soap clothes, and the other side wears short brown, to distinguish them, and they are fighting in the field, attacking and defending, just like a battle formation.

Zhao Guangde could only see a round ball suddenly high and low, and every time it rolled, it would trigger a fierce scramble among the soldiers.

Thickly dressed Chinese people helped the old and the young, sitting cross-legged outside the threshing floor, and although the savages in short clothes and short brown were also allowed to watch, they could only stand on the periphery where the view was not very good.

After watching it several times, everyone understood the rules and fun of this keju, and the atmosphere was already very strong and fanatical, and they even had their own support teams. If a goal is scored, the whole stadium is noisy; If one party loses, beats his chest and feet, and the scolding is endless. What scared Zhao Guangde when he went straight to the township temple just now was the cheers of everyone.

"Interesting, really funny!"

After only a few glances, Zhao Guangde couldn't take his eyes off.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations......
