Chapter 654 teaches you how to make meritorious contributions

Ouyang Yi hurriedly said: "Yes, my master said so, and he must bring back the letter of the prince at the end of the general, and I hope that the prince will not spare pen and ink and write a reply letter for the last general to bring back." ”

Li Ke hummed, and didn't answer immediately, he picked up the drawing, looked at it carefully, and didn't see any doorway, last time he saw a similar one, and he also didn't see any doorway, and asked the carpenters to build, but according to the drawings, nothing was built, this time he can't be fooled again, he has to see it clearly, don't make a fake drawing to report, that joke can be big, don't say that he is praised, he has to be photographed!

Seeing Li Ke looking at the drawings, Ouyang Yi immediately said: "According to the drawings, my master sent another model, which was done according to the reduced proportion of the drawings, it was newly built, and it has not yet been assembled. ”

In order to attract investment, Wang Ping'an specially made several models of waterwheels, leaving two unassembled, one for Li Ke, one for Li Zhi, and this one for Li Ke was placed in the box outside.

Li Ke listened, put down the drawings, and said, "Where is the model, bring it to this king to see." ”

Ouyang Yi pointed out the hall and said, "It's in the gatehouse, please ask the housekeeper to send someone to lift it." ”

The housekeeper of King Wu's mansion hurriedly ran out, and asked the servant to lift the box up in the main hall, put it in the middle of the ground, and opened the lid of the box, and saw that there were many small wooden utensils in it, and it was impossible to see what it was for.

Ouyang Yi stood up from the ground, accompanied by caution, and said: "Please also ask the prince to move, compare the drawings, Rong Mo will be assembled according to the number, and it will be completed in a moment, and it will not delay the prince for much time." ”

Li Ke took the drawings, walked to the wooden box, and said, "Okay, this king will see how you assemble it according to the number." ”

Ouyang Yi approached Li Ke, pointed to the drawing, and said, "This part is marked with A, which is the ...... in the box" He said as he took out a part from the box and asked Li Ke to compare it with the drawing.

After Li Ke looked at it, he nodded, yes, according to the shape on the drawing, there is no doubt that this part is true, and there is no mistake.

According to the number of A, B, C, D, Ouyang Yi took out a part every time he pointed to a number, and asked Li Ke to check the shape and size, Li Ke checked them one by one, and determined that there was no cat greasy in it, it was all right, and this drawing was sure to be true.

Ouyang Yi pointed out the parts and immediately began to assemble, like a child assembling a toy, and after a while, the general appearance of the waterwheel was revealed. It is not difficult for those who are difficult, it is not difficult for those who will know, as long as they understand the principle, it is not difficult to assemble a model of a waterwheel, and it does not take two quarters of an hour.

After the waterwheel was assembled, Ouyang Yi said: "Please refer to the drawings and check whether the final general can be assembled correctly?" ”

Li Ke just watched him assemble it, and he had been comparing the drawings, right or wrong, he had already known it, and he smiled: "If it looks bad, I don't know if it's good or not." He was even more excited in his heart, Wang Ping'an sent real drawings and models, he must be really convinced, and his father will be happy when he has received this credit.

Ouyang Yi hurriedly said: "It's good, it's definitely good, the last will borrow the pond in the prince's garden, how the waterwheel works, you can see at a glance!" ”

Of course, Li Ke agreed, and asked the servants to carry the model and go to the back garden together. The garden of Wu Wangfu is naturally huge, even if Li Ke likes to pretend to be simple, but according to the specifications of the palace, the garden is not small, there is a pond in it, there are several pairs of mandarin ducks swimming on the water, and the green willows on the edge of the pond are hanging down, and the decoration is very beautiful.

Ouyang Yi asked the servants to put the waterwheel on the edge of the pool, he installed it himself, and after a while, it was simply installed, he hit the waterwheel with water, and the waterwheel model turned immediately.

Li Ke saw the waterwheel turning, he could no longer hide his joy, he squatted down, watched the waterwheel lift the water to the edge of the pool, he smiled: "Okay, very good, this waterwheel is really powerful, if I can use it for the people of the Tang Dynasty, I will no longer have to worry about drought!" ”

Ouyang Yi hurriedly slapped the horse's fart and said: "My master said that this kind of waterwheel invented by the prince will surely be famous for centuries and benefit countless people, and the prince's name will definitely be recorded in the history books, and the light will shine!" ”

Li Ke laughed, laughed for a long time, and then said: "This kind of waterwheel, he didn't tell His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" This king remembered that he seemed to have reported to Shangshu Province. ”

Of course, Wang Ping'an reported it to Shangshu Province, and after Mi Xiaomiao came back, he also helped him blow it all the time, and many people knew about it.

Ouyang Yi hurriedly replied: "The matter has been told to His Royal Highness the Prince, but the waterwheel model has not been reported. And my master has already thought of the words, it is the prince you invented this kind of waterwheel, but because I don't know whether it is good or not, so it has been hidden, and now it is determined that this waterwheel is available, of course, the mystery will be revealed, as long as the prince sends the waterwheel model to the emperor to see, the emperor will be happy. ”

Li Ke snorted and said, "Don't be sloppy, this king is asking Wang Ping'an if he told the prince about the waterwheel, like telling this king?" ”

Ouyang Yi hurriedly said: "No, absolutely not, the last general dares to take his parents as a guarantee, if the last general lies, let the last general's parents go to hell and suffer forever!" ”

He was an orphan, adopted by Ouyang Li's father, he didn't even know his original surname, let alone who his parents were, his parents abandoned him and almost fed the wolves, so he never took this kind of oath seriously, he wished that his parents who threw him into the field to feed the wolves would go to hell!

But this oath was heard in Li Ke's ears, but it was very useful, and he immediately believed it. He said with a smile: "This king has a lot of things, and there are even more things he has invented, but I have forgotten all about how this waterwheel was invented." ”

Ouyang Yi said: "The prince has a lot of opportunities, why do you need to take this kind of trivial matter to heart, as long as we remember it for you." My master said that it was the prince who was inspired by the keel waterwheel, that is, the overturned car in the south, so he invented this wheel-shaped waterwheel. ”

Li Ke thought to himself: "The keel waterwheel, and the overturned car, what is that?" He nodded, oh, and said, "As soon as you say that, I will remember that there is indeed such a thing." Yes, this king was indeed inspired by the overturning car, so he invented this wheel-shaped waterwheel. ”

said this, but he thought in his heart: "I have to hurry up and check the book, what is it called a rollover, I haven't heard of it!" ”

He was thinking about it in his heart, but he heard Ouyang Yi say: "Lord Wang, the overturned car in your house is really exquisite, it must be because of it that the Lord Wang invented the wheel-shaped waterwheel, right?" As he spoke, Ouyang Yi pointed to the other side of the pond.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, looked at Ouyang Yi's finger, and saw that there was indeed a waterwheel on the opposite bank, which really looked a bit like a keel, but he had never noticed it before. No one on the waterwheel was moving, so the waterwheel did not move and did not lift the water.

Li Ke sighed and thought: "This is called a keel waterwheel, is it a rollover?" Never cared about it before. He looked down at the model of the waterwheel again, and these two waterwheels were not alike!

Ouyang Yi said again: "The overturned car uses manpower to step on and lift water, while the wheeled waterwheel uses hydraulic impact, which can save manpower." The prince loves the people like a son, so he invented a better waterwheel, but the prince explained to others, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort, because many people do not understand, if you want others to understand, you have to find an official from the Ministry of Industry to explain. ”

This sentence is again reminding Li Ke that you don't need to figure out what the principle is, as long as you say that it was invented according to the principle of overturning, and the specific interpretation method, it is enough for you to let the officials of the Ministry of Industry explain it.

Li Ke thought to himself: "Drink, okay, a full set!" I thought of it all for me, and even how to explain it to others and who to explain it to was arranged properly, and this credit was too simple, I didn't have to do anything, just wait for the credit. ”

He suddenly smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often makes meritorious contributions and is praised by the emperor, is it possible that your master teaches him this way every time?" ”

He understood it thoroughly, no wonder Li Zhi couldn't find fault with every meritorious service, and handled all aspects extremely well. In a hurry, being arranged in such a way to make meritorious service, even if you change to a fool, it is still according to the meritorious service, it is too easy and too pleasant!

Ouyang Yi sighed and said, "This ...... The last general is not very clear! ”

Li Ke laughed a few times and said, "Okay, this king will write a reply letter to Wang Ping'an, you can take it back!" With that, he took Ouyang Yi to the flower hall, wrote a reply, and asked Ouyang Yi to take it away. Before leaving, he told the housekeeper to give Ouyang Yi ten taels of gold, which was counted as a reward for sending the letter.

Ouyang Yi thanked him repeatedly, then exited the flower hall and followed the housekeeper.

Li Ke returned to the pool, watching the waterwheel lift water, the more he looked, the happier he became, the treatment that Li Zhi had enjoyed before, he finally enjoyed it, Wang Ping'an was really as his mother said, he softened, it seems that his approach of calming the wind and letting the waves calm is completely correct, and the effect is so good that it can't be better!

The housekeeper came back and said, "Lord Wang, that person is gone, do you want to send someone to follow him?" ”

Li Ke immediately said: "Why are you following him?" It's useless! From now on, this king will let others do the thankless things that will not change! Also, go to the household department to find a person who is proficient in overturning, and this king will ask about the overturning. ”

The butler agreed, turned around and went to work.

Li Ke went to the study in a fluttering manner, to flip through the book to prepare, if this happened, how would his grandfather deal with it? You'll have to look it up!

Ouyang Yi left King Wu's mansion and first walked around Chang'an City to make sure that no one was following, so he went to a small inn to meet Ouyang Shuang as agreed. He told Ouyang Shuang what happened, and the two discussed, this time Ouyang Shuang went out of the horse and went to the East Palace to find the Montessori brothers.

For the sake of safety, Ouyang Shuang changed into the clothes of ordinary guards, which were inconspicuous near the East Palace, so as not to be discovered by the secret agents of King Wu's mansion.

When he arrived at the East Palace, he found a guard and asked the Mengshi brothers if they were on duty, but unfortunately, the two brothers were not on duty at the palace gate today, so he had to ask where the Mengshi house was located and rushed to the Mengshi brothers' house.
