Chapter 133: The Wind Blows and Goes Your Own Way!
Regarding the words of the housekeeper Wang Dayong, Zhu Zilong agreed very much.
He felt that these soldiers would not be much worse than the Yanhan soldiers after training, and that the same simplicity and hard-working might be even better in terms of team and discipline.
After all, the slender man and the fiber have to work hard together, the pace is the same, and they are usually used to hearing slogans, as long as they simply teach the queue once, they will walk neatly according to the password, and it is easy to form an army.
In addition, looking at their tough appearance, it seems that 70% of them have seen blood (against the gangs), and their mentality is even more rare.
Soon, Zhu Zilong's fiefdom arrived.
There were officials who had been notified in place early and waited here, and it seemed that the palace had given an explanation.
Moreover, these officials took refuge in the eunuch forces, so they were particularly concerned about Zhu Zilong's arrival.
They are all their own people, so they are naturally easy to speak.
Almost all the houses in the fiefdom are ready-made, and the fields are also good fields.
I looked at the side and saw that there was a lot of wasteland, of course, maybe someone else's. Zhu Zilong immediately inquired if he could buy it at a high price!
The officials who received it had long wanted to hug Zhu Zilong's thighs, and when they heard this, they patted their chests on the spot and said that they would promise to complete the task.
Zhu Zilong was worried that they were too ugly to eat, maybe these were the people's fields?
So, ask your people to talk to the past.
The news soon came that the land there belonged to the government land, part of which was cultivated and part of it was wasteland.
With the price of land that is gradually rising from natural disasters, an acre of fertile land is about 12 taels of silver, and no one is willing to sell it, so the wasteland is much cheaper, and an acre of land is a few taels of silver.
After hearing this, Zhu Zilong said that as long as he was willing to sell, he would do it.
Even if you don't plan to cultivate it for the time being, you can put it there to lay a nail for the future.
After coming and going, the original more than 2,000 acres of fiefdom, plus a link on the side, expanded to nearly 10,000 acres.
Good guys, has this become the second Zhujiazhuang?
The land was purchased, but soon Zhu Zilong found that because his land was relatively high, there would not be enough water supply unless it was to draw water.
However, looking at the big waterwheel by the river, it is clear that the people on the side of the Grand Canal know how to eat the river by the river.
"Let Lord Liu arrange some carpenters to come over, and say that I want to build a keel waterwheel! The salary is enough! Zhu Zilong touched his chin and said to the younger brothers.
(Keel waterwheel is also known as "overturned", "treadmill", "waterwheel", provincial name "keel".) Irrigation farming tools in the history of the Han nationality are popular in most parts of China. This type of water lifting facility has a long history. Because its shape resembles a keel, it is called "keel waterwheel". )
I believe that the post-80s generation who was born in the countryside may have vaguely seen it.
The author also stepped on it every day, which was very fun, and it was able to divert water from the river into the channel, and then into the fields and vegetable fields.
Li Xian of the Three Kingdoms notes: "Overturned, set up locomotives to divert water; Thirsty black, for the curved tube, with air to lead the water also. ”
You think that's the end of it?
No, the keel waterwheel is easy to use, but the water diversion is average, Zhu Zilong called a large number of carpenters in the nearby city, in addition to asking them to build the keel waterwheel, but also ready to let them build the Lanzhou waterwheel.
(Lanzhou waterwheel, also known as "sky car", "overturner", "irrigation car", "tiger car".) )
It is a kind of water conservancy facility that uses the natural impact force of the rapid water flow, the diameter of the wheel width of the water wheel is up to 16.5 meters, and the end of the spoke is equipped with a scraper, and a rectangular bucket with an equidistant diagonal hanging is installed between the scrapers.
It just so happens that there are several intersections in his fiefdom, and the water flow is relatively fast, so several big tiger waterwheels can be set up.
This kind of waterwheel is a practical thing, so I don't see a lot of it here, only a few. I think it's also because the cost is too high, and the average landlord can't build much.
However, it is still the same sentence, Zhu Zilong is only poor with money.
It's not a big deal!
Of course, if Zhu Zilong's body is only rich, but he has no power, like the richest man in the early Ming Dynasty, 30,000, then the ending must be miserable. However, the emperor is his doppelganger, he is rich and powerful, and he is afraid of a bird!
Unlike the keel waterwheel in the south, the Lanzhou waterwheel resembles a giant antique wheel. The radius of the wheel width is nearly 10 meters for the large one and 5 meters for the small one. It can lift water up to 15-18 meters high.
So the nickname is the wind blowing, huh? How to recommend the same name as the starting point of the strong wind, fate!
The wind-blown water wheel does not need manpower and animal power, it can be driven by water flow, and the water diversion power is very large, and the daily water diversion irrigation can reach more than 300 acres.
This thing has appeared since the Tang Dynasty, it is not uncommon or difficult to make, but it costs more money and food!
Under Zhu Zilong's strong money offensive, local officials (pro-eunuch faction) and many carpenters were full of enthusiasm, saying that there was no problem in building it.
"How much does it cost to get a plane?" Zhu Zilong asked.
If you have money, you have to ask how much it costs to build, so as not to make people hack.
The carpenters summed it up and asked a small leader to come forward and answer: "This kind of waterwheel is huge in size and uses a lot of materials, and it is estimated that even the cost of materials and labor is calculated, and it will cost nearly a hundred taels of silver to build a round of wind-blown waterwheel." ”
It's only a hundred taels?
Not even a Viagra tree?
Touching the viagra medicine in his pocket, the corners of Zhu Zilong's mouth were very unpleasant.
As long as the expenditure is used in practical places, I never know what it means to be stingy, and I like Comrade Zhu Zilong very much. In the next second, he waved his hand and said:
"Okay, it's up to you, work overtime, call all the manpower, and come a hundred first. Just tell me what you want, but if there is a problem with the waterwheel, I won't give you money. ”
Buton!
The carpenter's leader fell to the ground, and the number of a hundred directly scared him down.
In the Ming Dynasty, where productivity was not high, it was not difficult to build a strong wind, but the time it took was not short, a hundred, this is to prepare everyone to make soy sauce for their sons?
Unless the carpenter comes over several times more manpower, he will be tired to death!
Zhu Zilong, who heard about the situation, had to face the reality and reduce the number of one hundred to a practical twenty or thirty. That's why all the carpenters in the nearby city who can make this thing have been emptied and all the carpenters who can make this thing have been called here.
(If it weren't for the eunuch relationship, the officials in this place happened to be pro-eunuchs.) If you are replaced by other local officials, you will be given a yang and yin to disobey, and it will be difficult for you to make money. )
Well, what?
Do you say that those scholars and scholars in the world will despise Zhu Zilong's personality? Don't stay with him?
Say that he is a member of the eunuch party, a courtier, a favored minister, etc.?
Hehe, go your own way, and do as they say.
Those Donglin Party and the so-called garbage literati who only read Baguwen, what do they care?
Sooner or later, they will be the garbage of history, and they will be swept into the garbage heap.
In the original history, because Chongzhen was replaced as the emperor, the eunuchs and others lost power. Let the Donglin Party and the Southeast delegates rule society and power, but now, who is Chongzhen?
Believe it or not, even if the emperor is a doppelganger, if he is not in good health one day, Zhu Zilong will kill Chongzhen or exile him first, and keep the back hand!
He is rebelling against himself, and he will not let Chongzhen, who is rigid and self-serving, have the possibility of becoming an emperor in the future.
