Yongkang River, originating in the mountains in the southwest of Yidu County, is a large river in Yidu County, with turbulent water and abundant water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Zhong Yu was standing on the hillside by the river, looking at the Yongkang River rushing from the valley.

Le Dianshi muttered on the side: "Brother Zhong, you want them to lead the water of the Yongkang River to water the ground, no, the land of these two villages is located on the hillside, this hillside is at least fifteen or sixteen zhang higher than the water surface of the Yongkang River, how can it be possible to bring the water of the Yongkang River to water the ground?" ”

Zhong Yu ignored the muttering of the history of the music dictionary on the side, and kept thinking in his head.

The reason why Zhong Yu said that there was a way to solve the problem of water was because he saw the river when he came. Although there are no water pumps these days, there are water wheels, which may not be impossible to bring water.

It's not that you can't do it, it's that you haven't thought of it! And Zhong Yu just feels that his advantage is that he can think of things that others can't think of!

A waterwheel can't lift the water so high, you can divide it into several times and lift the water step by step!

Zhong Yu was anxious to think about the feasibility of his idea.

Later, when Zhong Yu traveled to Guizhou, he once saw a waterwheel that was still in use, which was 20 meters in diameter and could lift water to a height of 18 meters.

Zhong Yu silently estimated, he had already measured the height of the hillside just now, it was about fifteen zhang high, if he could build a waterwheel with a diameter of more than seven zhang and divert water in three stages, it should be able to lead water.

Zhong Yu turned his head sideways and asked Le Dian Shi, "How high can the largest waterwheel be built?" ”

Le Dianshi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You really want to bring water with a water wheel?" The waterwheel is definitely not high enough, and the waterwheel can be built at most seven or eight feet high! ”

Seven or eight feet high, then no problem!

At that moment, Zhong Yu told the history of music in detail about the method he had worked out.

In fact, Zhong Yu's method is very simple, that is, to install three water wheels step by step and lift water in three stages.

The Yongkang River is so turbulent that even the largest waterwheel can be pushed quickly, so the largest waterwheel can be installed on the riverside, the bigger the better. If you install a water wheel with a height of 7 zhang, you can lift the water to a height of at least 6 zhang. In this way, dig a canal on the slope of the mountain slope six zhang high, although the water flow of the canal is certainly not as turbulent as the Yongkang River, but you can install an appropriately smaller waterwheel, as long as the angle of the canal is large enough, the speed of the water raised is fast enough, and it is enough to drive the waterwheel of the second layer. If a six-zhang high waterwheel is installed on the side of the canal on this level, the water can be raised by at least five zhang high. In this way, dig the same canal at a height of 11 zhang, install a waterwheel with a height of 5 zhang, and lift water at least 4 zhang high, and reach a height of 15 zhang.

Of course, the water at the top of the slope is not too turbulent, but it is constantly flowing, so you don't have to worry about breaking the flow. And this hillside is only three or four miles away from the fields of the two villages, although it is a hillside, but there are not many stones, it can only be regarded as a low earth mountain. Digging a canal is not too difficult. Besides, there are so many young people fighting in those two villages, wouldn't it be right for them to dig the canal. Of course, Zhong Yu only put forward a preliminary opinion, and when it comes to specific implementation, it still needs to be specifically adjusted.

After listening to the music classics, he patted his thigh and said: "It's feasible, it's definitely feasible." If you don't say that Brother Zhong, your brain is alive, oops, it's really prescient for me to let you come along, I really admire my own foresight! ”

Zhong Yu couldn't help but be speechless, shouldn't you be full of admiration and admiration for me at this time? How can I admire myself, what kind of person is this!

Immediately, Le Dianshi asked a few officials to call the village chiefs of Peiqiao Village and Dongjiazhuang Village to come over.

After the two village chiefs came, after listening to Zhong Yu tell him what he wanted, the old village chief of Dongjiazhuang couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, our two villages have lived here for hundreds of years, why can't we think of such a way!" Zhong Gongzi is still smart! In the past, we could only look at the Yongkang River flowing in vain from the valley and sigh empty, but when we turned back, we had to fight to death for the little water of the Xiaoni River, alas! The old man sighed, and he didn't know whether to lament that the people in his village couldn't think of such a way, or to mourn for the people who had died fighting for water for so many years.

The old village chief of Peiqiao Village also said: "Zhong Gongzi's idea really solves the big problem of our two villages, the old man has thanked Zhong Gongzi on behalf of the whole village of Peiqiao Village, please accept the old man's worship", saying that the old man was about to kneel. When the old village chief of Dongjiazhuang saw that Old Man Pei wanted to worship, he couldn't be ambiguous, and he had to come forward and kneel.

Zhong Yu hurriedly grabbed the two old men, kneeling down to himself at such an old age, you dare to worship me and I dare not accept it, this is not my life.

"Two old people, you can't do it, the kid just has a small idea, how can he be worthy of the two old people's gifts!"

"Deserved, deserved, your little idea really saved countless lives in our two villages!"

The two old men wanted to bow with their necks stiffened, but Zhong Yu finally persuaded him.

Seeing that he couldn't worship, the old village chief Pei said to the old village chief of Dongjiazhuang: "Old man Dong, we have been fighting for water for so many years, and now that we have the method of Zhong Gongzi, we probably won't be able to fight in the future." Why don't we set up an ancestral hall here and worship often, so that future generations will remember the great virtue of Zhong Gongzi from generation to generation! "Old man Pei saw that Zhong Yu was a scholar, and he estimated the good name of the scholar, so he made this proposal.

The old village chief Dong said: "Well, I'll see it!" ”

Zhong Yu was speechless, damn me, I live a good life, I need you to set up an ancestral hall to worship! Besides, his mother's ancestral hall is the signboard of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong, are you two so non-nonsense?

Zhong Yu hurriedly stopped the two old men who were discussing the establishment of an ancestral hall for him, and said, "I have received this intention from the two of you, but this matter must not be done." I think the two of you might as well set up a monument here, so I call it a jade silk monument, engrave the ins and outs of the matter, and let future generations remember how difficult it was to not have this waterwheel and canal before, and warn the people of the two villages to jointly maintain this waterwheel and canal! Of course, if it is to tell the ins and outs of the matter, and mention my name slightly, I don't mind, haha, joke, joke! ”

When the two old men heard that this idea was good, they couldn't help but praise it.

Now that you have an idea, you have to act quickly, and the spring planting season is waiting for no one.

The first thing to solve is the survey and installation of the waterwheel!

Now that the matter of the fight has been resolved, Le Dianshi asked the officials of the brigade to go back, and asked them to report the matter here to Zhang Zhixian, and by the way, asked Zhang Zhixian to allocate a few craftsmen who could make waterwheels to help install the waterwheel.

Building and repairing water conservancy, this is also a great achievement of a county, such a good thing, naturally can not let the county lord share the profit without credit, I believe that the county lord is happy to send craftsmen to come!

And Zhong Yu and Le Dianshi took a few servants to the banquet prepared by Dongjiazhuang to drink.
