Chapter 285: Yang Ming wants to build a waterwheel

Although he has tried his best not to let people into the city, it is still crowded, and the streets, under the eaves and even under the walls are crowded with people, fortunately, it is not a rainy day, otherwise Yang Ming doesn't know how to deal with it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

During this time, eight clay kilns have been built in the suburbs, and several batches of tiles have been successfully fired under the leadership of a group of porcelain masters invited from Jiangxi.

"Yang Ming, the old man of the waterwheel also knows that it is used to get water, but Sinan is not short of water, I don't know what the purpose of building such a few waterwheels is?" Liu Yi looked at Yang Mingdao, who was giving guidance to the craftsmen and personally installing the waterwheel.

He didn't understand that although Sinan is not a place along the river, there are no few streams and mountain springs, and there are even waterfalls in many places, whether it is for conventional planting crops or drinking for people and animals, there is no shortage at all, and Yang Ming is now going to build eight waterwheels on the side of the Yangtze River.

Not only that, there are as many as twenty-eight in his plan, although the labor is not valuable now, but it needs a lot of manpower, not only a lot of manpower, especially some very experienced carpenters and stonemasons have been summoned by him.

You must know that these people are talents, whether it is repairing a house or doing something else, it is in short supply, and Yang Ming will go to more than 30 people as soon as he beckons, and for Sinan now, he will almost go halfway.

But fortunately, although it is planned to build twenty-eight, but now it is only the foundation of the foundation, and some wood has been transported, it seems that it will take a very long time just to divide and polish the wood, Liu Yi feels that Yang Ming is a kind of hard work and money, as he has come all the way to see him, it is necessary to correct Yang Ming's mistakes.

"Old man! Lord Liu, if the kid remembers correctly, you're only in your early forties now, right? Look at them? Yang Ming said, but his hand pointed to several people's husbands, all of whom were in their fifties, and then said to Liu Yi: "And what I want to tell you is that although Sinan is not short of water, he is very short of labor, and I actually make this thing to save labor." You don't know, there are still nearly 400,000 acres of land in Sinan that need to be cleared, and you know the situation here. Not only because there are many trees, but more importantly, there are many rocks on the surface here, so when the land is cleared, they also need to separate the stones from the soil, and you may not know if you have not done farm work. These things are actually more difficult than the so-called land reclamation! ”

"Humph! For you, I just call myself an old man, so what's the matter? Besides, I took the same exam as your master Li Daoyuan, and we were both first-class Jinshi in the Zhengde years, can't I be called an old man in front of you? Liu Yi pursed her lips and complained. He felt that since he was in the Jinluan Palace, because of Yang Ming's nonsense, he had a few words against him, where did he think that this guy was a little ghost and still held a grudge, but after he knew Yang Ming now, he had to admit that Yang Ming was a talent who had been difficult for thousands of years.

Just in such a poor county as Sinan, there is such a layout, at least he can't do it.

What's more, the shot was 400,000 stone grains and more than 300,000 taels of silver, and when these things passed through his hands and entered the accounts, he knew that Yang Ming was already a figure that he couldn't see through at all.

So much grain and silver, even for the imperial court, is a lot of wealth, and fame, just a season of medicinal herbs that have not yet begun to be cultivated and the rotation that has not been officially fired is obtained, and all this is happening in front of his eyes. His outlook on life has almost changed.

If someone else told him that just a few empty words could be exchanged for so many things, let alone believe, he would 100% think that this person is crazy.

However, Yang Ming did it.

That's the difference between people and people!

"Lord Liu, it doesn't matter to the kid that you call yourself an old man, but it's you, why did you get to Sinan so quickly this time? According to the rules, you should have a three-month break, could it be that you came to Guizhou directly after leaving Beijing? Although it is not easy to live in Beijing, you are also a five-grade imperial history. Don't you want to go home and see? Yang Ming suddenly had some interest in this stubborn Qingliu official, since ancient times, he has said to loyal ministers that he is a person like him, he lives very hard, and even with others.

Since then, he has come to Sinan voluntarily to see it. This guy is simply a tendon, he has an incomparable enthusiasm for the court, and even loves the country more than his family, loves himself, and has even taken the sage's subtle words as the goal and criterion of life in his life.

"Go back? Hehe! Liu Yi smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "How to go back?" The old man's hometown is in Gansu. It is not far from Guizhou, if you take a boat down the river and then walk by carriage for three or five days, you will arrive, but what about going back? Although the old mother is still there, the old wife and two sons have gradually grown up, to be honest, do you think the old man doesn't want to go and see? As early as when the old man received the news in the capital, the danger in the southwest is not far away, since my generation of scholars has chosen the road of becoming an official, he should ask for the people's life, report the country's grace, and go down to the dawn! As for the family, hahahaha..... Let's talk about it for a while! ”

A real clear stream!

Yang Ming secretly gave Liu Yi a definition in his heart!

Whether it is from the perspective of clothing or from his food and clothing, his standard is definitely not the treatment that a dignified six-grade official should have, although the Ming Dynasty officials are extremely low, but as a Beijing official, and it is also an official position like Yushitai, there will naturally be no shortage of ice and charcoal respect in the local area every year, and his shabby appearance is almost the same as a beggar, if it weren't for the fact that there is an official robe covering his face, the complement undershirt on his body is about to be recorded.

It can be seen that this guy's mouth and temper have definitely made him very unsatisfactory over the years, otherwise he would not have been able to fall to this point.

"When the matter of the White Lotus Sect is over, you might as well take all your family members over!" Yang Ming said lightly: "Since you have come to Sinan, you should advance and retreat with Sinan, you must come out with the strength that should be made, and you must also have what you should have, the court will not treat any loyal minister badly, and I Yang Ming will naturally not treat a direct minister!" Do you know, in fact, you shouldn't come to Sinan, for many people in the court, your coming to Sinan is nothing more than a joke, you have also seen, it doesn't take three years at all, or even a year, or even half a year, just with the business of tiles, I am enough to pay three million taels of silver to the imperial court, not to mention medicinal materials. ”

"Take this waterwheel, for example, you look at the bucket on the waterwheel, constantly tumbling, turning the river from the river to the bottom, what do you see?" Yang Ming looked at Liu Yi and asked.
