The news that Xu County ordered him to visit the newly completed model project for water transportation -- named Project No. 1 -- had already spread throughout the county.

Xinhua County's officials and gentlemen, as well as many do-gooders, as well as people near the dangerous beach model project, gathered at the scene on this day, waiting to see a demonstration that is said to be unprecedented.

Unfortunately, there are no bridges, and the pre-prepared ferries are of course only accessible to a few people, and most of the enthusiastic onlookers can only enjoy the grand show from one side of the shore, and only from a distance when watching the performance on the other side. However, the movement of ships on the river can be seen on both sides of the river, and even if you can only watch from one side, it is not in vain to watch the onlookers.

Today's weather is fine, and there are faint clouds floating in the sky, adding a touch of warmth to this cold season.

Today, there are a lot of people on both sides of the strait, especially on the side where a huge water ship is installed, at least five or six hundred people have gathered, and there are also people from the county town who have taken a boat to see the excitement, most of these people are people with status, their boats 66 continue to drive over and dock on the shore of this side of the water wheel, and a dozen boats have been lined up on the shore upstream.

Wang Qinqin and Wang Qinyin followed Tan Wangdi to the scene, Tan Wangdi is a disciple of Mao Geng, and Tan Wangdi's task today is to report the time. The second test watch made by Mao Geng was also moved to the site today, wrapped in red silk, which added a lot of joy. Mao Geng's twelve disciples are gathered here today, and it is also the best opportunity to learn from observation, Mao Geng will not let go of such an on-site teaching opportunity, but in the eyes of others, this move has a feeling of adding momentum. Wang Qinqin excused himself to say that he wanted to see the effect of the life jacket made by himself, and he must also come to watch this excitement, Mao Geng did not have the taboo in his mind that women could not show their heads, and besides, today was also the day of the ribbon cutting of the time watch, Wang Qinyin was also considered to have participated in the time watch system, and she should be allowed to participate, so she naturally agreed.

The demonstration has not yet started, Xu Xianling will have to wait for a while to arrive, Tan Wangdi and Wang Qinyin are carefully guarding next to the watch, although the watch is placed on a table, and there is an iron tower-like Huang Wangcai guarding, Wang Qinqin is still afraid that the watch will be damaged by curious onlookers. The shape of the watch is exquisitely made, the upper part is a semicircular floor-to-ceiling style, about four feet high, the wood is also very exquisite, and the paint makes it look even more luxurious, and the top part is a round white dial, because there is no glass, the hour, minute and second hands are exposed. Wang Qinqin's worries are not unreasonable, as long as the good deeds turn the dial, they may damage the wooden gears inside.

And Wang Qinqin specially wore a man's outfit today, dressed as a scholar, but she couldn't stay quiet at all, and when she saw the lively scene, she walked around. Others may not pay attention to Wang Qinqin, but of course Wen Yuan will pay attention to Wang Qinqin's movements, and when he saw that this girl was drilling into the crowd, he immediately told Kang Depei and Qu Deer to follow Wang Qinqin, in short, Wang Qinqin could not be allowed to suffer.

Wang Qinqin walked around, and at this moment he came to a group of people who were talking, this group of people came prepared, and they all sat on the benches they brought, they obviously came by boat, and it didn't matter how many benches they brought on the boat. Wang Qinqin took a look, okay! This group of people are all like dogs, they are all silk and satin, and they actually brought four women dressed in bewitching clothes, Wang Qinqin pouted, and said in her heart, the enthusiasm of these guys to watch is not high, but they clearly regarded this demonstration as a play.

Wang Qinqin was curious, so he stopped and paid attention to what these people were talking about.

Just listen to one person who said:

"I'm afraid that this water wheel is three zhang high, and there is this kind of mechanism, it is the first time I have seen it in Xia Pingsheng, according to the "New Daily", such an organ does not even have Lin'an, tsk! You say, how much will it cost to build this huge set of mechanisms? ”

Another blue-robed man dressed as a scholar said disappreciatively:

"Don't believe what the "Xin Pao" says, the "Xin Pao" claims that Lin'an only has a cow-pulled winch and a manpower winch, which is a crude mechanism set up by the ship to turn over the dam, and it is far less useful than the winch of a water wheel. But this is just the statement of "Xin Pao", who has been to Lin'an? Maybe the water wheel in Lin'an is bigger than this water wheel! I think it took three years to build the water transport instrument statue of my Great Song Dynasty, what a magical mechanism that shocked the world! And how can it be compared with these few simple institutions that we have seen today! When I went to Lin'an to take the exam on the next day, I would have done some research at that time, and if I found a bigger water wheel than this, I would also write an article to refute the nonsense in the "New Newspaper". ”

As a matter of fact, the relevant report of "Xin Pao" is aimed at making it easier for Xinhua shipping operators to accept the new method of towing ships with watership winches, which is a precautionary measure. "Xin Pao" spared no length to describe the technology of the dam turning tugboat used on the canal in the Great Song Dynasty, which was intended to show that although the hydraulic winch was a new thing, it was still inherited from the existing technology of the dam turning tugboat -- the animal winch and the manpower winch, but it was better than the blue. Unexpectedly, this person didn't believe that the hydraulic winch built by Mao Geng on this water was his new creation, and in this person's mind, there must be a water wheel in the sacred Lin'an City that is even more bullish than the hydraulic mechanism in front of him.

After listening to this person's words, several people rushed to echo each other, just because Lin'an in the minds of these people is the best, you must know that Lin'an is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is it better to be remote and new! These people have a blind worship of Lin'an, in fact, it is not surprising, for example, most of the Chinese people in the first decade of the twentieth century believed that the moon in foreign countries was much rounder than the moon in China.

Wang Qinqin was about to step forward to refute this person, but heard a middle-aged man with a square face say aloud:

"Brother Liu said, in fact, there are many misunderstandings, "Xinbao" contains, Lin'an's dam is used to communicate the canal and the river in Lin'an City, the river in Lin'an City is higher than the water level of the canal, but the two rivers are not connected, the two rivers themselves are artificial rivers with a very small drop, since they are not connected, and they are artificial rivers, then where can the water power be used! As far as I know, this cow-drawn winch and manpower winch have long been popular in our Great Song Dynasty, but I have not heard of anyone who tugs boats with water. ”

The man continued:

"According to the following suspicions, it must be because of the huge cost of building this mechanism, like the one we have seen, there are not a thousand times, even if you think about it, you don't want to build it. Imagine who would take money instead of money, and throw a thousand pieces into this river! Even if it is the government of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not necessary to build a water wheel winch, the Great Song Dynasty may lack anything else, but there is no shortage of manpower, even if it does not use conscription, there are millions of van troops alone, since the manpower is sufficient, only the use of manpower winch is enough to drag the boat over the dam, so the government still needs to spend a lot of money to build a water wheel. Besides, the winch of this water wheel is not necessarily better than the human winch. Looking down, only Mao Geng, a loser who doesn't know what thrift is, will build this useless water wheel winch. Alas! Became rich overnight at a young age, young and frivolous! ”

As soon as he said this, Mao Geng's hydraulic winch was characterized as a loser purely for show, and someone immediately answered:

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! There are seventy-two dangerous shoals in this water, if you want to build this water wheel winch everywhere, the water flow of Luotan and Lingtan will be more turbulent, and I am afraid that it will cost several times more money, so I am afraid that I can't stop it if I am afraid of 100,000 yuan. This surnamed Mao has two money, so I don't know who my surname is, you and I will wait to see the joke of this surnamed Mao. ”

When Wang Qinqin heard this, he hated it in his heart, but another old guy with a gray head and beard expressed his opinion again:

"You don't know, this young boy surnamed Mao is very powerful, he set up this hydraulic winch, in the future, all the boats that pass in the water, must leave the money to buy the road, it is said that after a place to charge a hundred Wen, seventy-two places to buy the road money to calculate how much, hehe, a boat through a trip to the water to collect more than seven times, a day over a hundred boats are always there, a day is more than 700 times, a month is more than 20,000 times, a year, it's terrible, almost 300,000 times into the surname Mao's pocket. I have long heard that this young boy surnamed Mao is extremely wealthy, hehe, where is the loser, this is to rob money! Compared with the robber who cut the path, he is not far behind, but his reputation is very good! ”

When Wang Qinqin heard this, she was already angry, and finally she realized that it was not in her own home, so she immediately forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, pretended to be nothing, put her hands behind her back, Shi Shiran walked over, pretending to be a passerby and said:

Xiaosheng heard that Mao Geng was a disciple of a Taoist master, and it was said that he had a unique skill and could turn stones into gold. I heard that this Mao Geng is unwilling to perform this little stone into gold, but he has evolved a variety of extremely mysterious and clever methods, such as an ordinary pile of soil, a stone, but Mao Geng can rely on the alchemy to refine the magical cement, it is said that this Mao Geng is amazing, if he wants to make money, it is not surprising that he is advancing every day, maybe this Mao Geng really has too much money in his hands, so he wants to do good deeds and become famous, but it is not known. If people have such kindness, we and other laypeople should not blaspheme their good intentions. You say, yes or no? ”

"Exactly!" The lonely "exactly" came from the mouth of Kang Depei alone, and a large group of people opposite obviously did not agree with Wang Qinqin's statement, and Qu Deer's function behind him was only limited to showing off his force value, and he did not have the qualifications to praise him. Wang Qinqin didn't care how others reacted, she still had a smug expression, Kang Depei's face was tender, and she felt quite uncomfortable at this moment.

The old man obviously disdained Wang Qinqin's statement, and when he looked at these three people, he was also very unpleasant, so he immediately asked:

"Who are you? Do you want to come to us to stir up trouble? ”

That Contebe had always been timid, and when he heard this, he immediately became timid, and immediately replied:

"Xiao Ke's surname is Kang, abruptly, please Haihan!"

Wang Qinqin has always been arrogant, and immediately added a sentence:

"He is Mr. Kang Yuliang's own grandson, hehe, Kang Lao also agrees with what Xiaosheng said just now, what! Is Kang Lao's statement also wrong? ”

As soon as he heard that it was Kang Lao's grandson who was present, although the old man was a little suspicious, he couldn't go against the local Confucianism who was just popular, and he was vague at the moment, and he no longer pretended to be pretentious.

At the time of embarrassment, I only heard a gong sound "clang" on the other side, and everyone cheered repeatedly, naturally the county lord arrived, since the county lord arrived, the show is expected to start immediately. Wang Qinqin's mind is no longer on finding the field, not only Wang Qinqin, but at this time, everyone turned their attention to the protagonist Xu County, and everyone was waiting for Xu County's order to give an order, and then the curtain opened, and the show appeared.

Mao Geng's preparations today can be described as very sufficient, and he also specially prepared two iron horns. Mao Geng greeted Xu County's order, whispered a few words with Xu County's order, and then handed the iron horn to Xu County's order.

Today's host is Zhang Haisan, and Zhang Haisan, who has commented, is the best candidate for the host, which can be described as expected. Zhang Haisan also controlled a tin horn, and as the gongs and drums of another gong and drum corps on Zhang Haisan's side sounded, Zhang Haisan's majestic voice sounded by the Zishui River:

"Dear county lords, distinguished guests, fellow villagers, today is the second day of December in the fifteenth year of Chunxi, and today the county lord personally presided over the trial ceremony of the No. 1 shipping reconstruction project of Zishui River. Now the hour has come, and the time is nineteen o'fifteen, and you must ask, what do I mean by nine-fifteen? Good! I'll sell it first, and I'll explain it later. Next, I would like to invite the county lord to give a speech and cut the ribbon for a magical timekeeping mechanism. ”

Then there was a short burst of gongs and drums passing through the door, and here Xu Xianling walked to the front desk and shouted loudly at the tin horn:

"Fellow villagers, today is a double happiness, one is the ribbon-cutting of the first time watch of the Great Song Dynasty, the second is the trial voyage of the first shipping renovation project of Zishui River, just today there is a guest from afar Mr. Chen Liang came to this county, Mr. Chen Liang is a great celebrity and a great writer of this dynasty, and the official invited Mr. Chen Liang to cut the ribbon with me to witness the success of the trial voyage."

Under the grand recommendation of Xu County's order, Chen Liang, who is known as a famous man, also came to the front desk, only to see that this person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he looks a little old, he has a thick beard, how can I see that his beard is like Guan Yu's style on the portrait, but the beard is not as long as Guan Erye.

Mao Geng was stunned for a moment when he heard that Chen Liang was present, this Chen Liang had heard of it in his past life and present life, this person had a very good relationship with Xin Qiji, but he was not so much a famous person, but a great madman. But no matter what, Chen Liang can be called a famous figure in this era, he actually came to join in the excitement today because of fate, hehe, he met a historical celebrity so soon, maybe it is a good sign, and it can also be called a happy event worth celebrating.

(Note: The so-called overturning of the dam is a special inclined ditch-like boat channel when there is a difference in the water level between the two water surfaces, with this overturning dam, the ship can turn from one water surface to another water surface.) Even if there is water in the overturning of the dam, it is not enough to carry the boat, and the boat usually slides in the river mud of the overturning dam, and in order to make the ship climb over the dam, a human or animal winch is generally set up at the overturning of the dam. Flipping from a high level of water to a low level of water is relatively simple, while turning from a low level of water to a high level of water requires multiple people to turn the winch together. The dam is usually covered with river mud to reduce the friction between the bottom of the boat and the wayway, and the wooden winches on both sides of the dam are used to reduce when sliding down and dragging when rising. ）
