Chapter 5: Yun Er's opening remarks

"It's Yan's rudeness first, why did my sister say it slowly, but it was not easy to meet, so I visited in a hurry, and it was rude." Yan smiled and held Lu Qing's hand and walked into the curtain together.

"My sister is dressed in plain clothes, do you have to go down to the river to fetch water today?"

Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the queen, the mother has all descended to the noble and personally carried water to water the garden, how can the Yan family be an exception, but my sister is dressed brightly today, and it seems that she is not going down to the river." ”

Lu Qingqing looked down at the clothes on his body and said with a smile: "The clumsy husband has been studying military strategy these days, and when I went home yesterday, I learned about my sister and I carrying water, and reprimanded my sister and me!" ”

Yan Shi was stunned and said: "The Venerable is in front, and it is the truth for us to follow it, where is the mistake?" ”

Lu Qingqing sighed: "The humble husband said that it was right to water the wheat seedlings, and also said that the field would collect an extra handful of grain, and you could eat more when the green and yellow crops were not harvested next year, but he just said that my sister and I used the method is too ugly, and this watering is useless except for vain manpower and financial resources, so today I sent my second uncle to accompany me to Zhuangzi, and install some mechanisms to water all the fields......"

"Is there any news about such an agency?" Yan didn't expect such words to come out of Lu Qingqing's mouth, and hurriedly asked.

Lu Qingqing raised his face proudly and said: "The clumsy husband said that there is, then there must be something, sister, I went to ask my second uncle again, the second uncle was busy sorting out the Yellow River model and didn't have time to care about these little things, he had already drawn a few drawings before the drought and asked the craftsman to build some organ news, and it would be installed today. ”

A woman shouldn't be so naked when she praises her husband and brother, but Lu Qingqing did the opposite. This is very strange, the Lu family is also from a big family, it is impossible to be so uneducated, but it is very good for a woman to live to her point, there are no elders in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion of Nuoda, and her husband spoils her, and the little uncle looks like a complete instrument, and it is common sense to be arrogant.

"My sister came just in time today, let's go to Zhuangzi together to see the news of my second uncle's establishment of the organ, once the news of the organ is successful. You also happen to make a set of zuò at home. In this way, my sister doesn't have to work hard to carry water, speaking of which, we are all people who don't touch the spring water with ten fingers, and the water that shows up is too much. Lu Qingqing said extremely arrogantly.

"That's not good!" Yan Shi was taken aback, she came over today just to get to know Lu Qingqing. Unexpectedly, in an instant, it became to read the news of the agency together. Aren't these things a family secret? His husband once said that Yun Zheng is tricky and difficult. How did you marry a stupid wife?

Lu Qingqing couldn't help but pull the Yan family into his carriage, and waited for Ge Qiuyan to give the Yan family a salute before saying, "The humble man said, Your Majesty is now just listening to the words of that person called Wang Anshi." Don't even ask other people's opinions, you must know that there are countless wonderful ideas in this world, and there is a brain that can calculate the world's affairs.

Since my second uncle has come up with a way, this method will naturally spread, although the Yun family is a small family, they still dare not eat alone, and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion must use such convenience, and the official family will also pick up a few loads of water. ”

The Yan family regretted it, knowing that it was used by the Lu family, but when he got into the carriage of the Yun family, he couldn't open his mouth and say no, at this time the city gate was opened, and the coachman of the Yun family whistled, and drove the carriage to kill Zhuangzi with smoke and dust, and the carriage of the Fu Bi family followed closely behind.

The Zhuangzi of the Yun family is on the river bend, because it is transferred from the Huangzhuang to the Yun family's industry, so the villagers still habitually call this place the official field, which is a rare good place, and the Tianzi field occupies half of the field of this Zhuangzi, and there is almost no barren land, from this point it can be seen that Zhao Zhen treats Yun Zheng very well.

When Lu Qingqing and Yan came to the river bay, the river bay was already crowded with people, and all the people on the Zhuangzi were guarding here, and a huge waterwheel keel had been made, as long as the thick bamboo tube was loaded, it could be operated.

Yan didn't expect that the Yun family was really installing the news of the mechanism, seeing these tall appliances lying horizontally on the ground, each of which was a real thing, and the depressed mood just now came back.

Seeing Lu Qingqing driving out the three disheveled young men from the carriage behind, Yan planned to take a closer look at the three teenagers who were known as prodigies.

Except for the teenager who was a little steady, the two teenagers behind him yawned a lot, obviously not waking up, complaining about the lightness of the landing, and walked helplessly to the river embankment.

This year's river water level is very low, Yunjia Zhuangzi deliberately dug a diversion canal on the river, two bluestone seats are placed on two bronze tiles, and the shaft of the waterwheel is to rotate endlessly on these two huge bronze tiles.

Xiaolin ran up and down sensitively on the base to do the final test, and when he saw Lu Qingqing coming, he waved his hand from afar to indicate that a qiē was ready, Lu Qingqing waved his hand generously, and those generals and farmers used the extended orange tree to install the wheel axle on the copper tile, and then one hundred and ten strong men slowly moved the keel to the vicinity of the base, and then shouted, while pulling with a rope, while moving forward with manpower, aiming at the gap, and putting this big circle into the axle, and soon a carpenter blocked the only wedge with wood.

Yan Shi looked very seriously, and sat on the pony with Lu Qingqing, unwilling to let go of any details, since Yan Shi saw the water tank in mid-air, he felt that the Yun family's method should be able to do it, is it just a waterwheel, isn't it just a little bigger, and the bottom plus the bottom plate is not the same as being swept by the water? As long as the water wheel can turn, it will naturally bring the bamboo tube tied to the floor obliquely to a high place, and when the bamboo tube is tilted, the water inside will flow into the sink continuously? The trough is much higher than the river embankment and much higher than the fields, and the water naturally flows down the canal into the fields, where they water the crops day and night.

Yan remembered that when he was a daughter, he played with the waterwheel on his garden stream, why couldn't he remember to install this thing on the edge of his farm? She remembered Lu Qingqing's words that the Yun family was smarter than other people's families, and she was not convinced just now, but now she found that she was speechless, hindsight is easy, and the first person to do things is the most worthy of admiration.

After only an hour, two tall waterwheels had been erected in the river, and the craftsmen were tying the bamboo tubes with horse grass ropes, and they were ready to use.

Mr. Peng Li, who had white hair and white beard, walked over on crutches, and the old man didn't like the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, so he chose to live in Zhuangzi, and when he saw that the waterwheel had been placed, he asked Xiaolin to remove the crossbar to see if it was feasible.

Xiaolin used a huge mallet to knock off the horizontal wood, the waterwheel shook a little, and then slowly began to rotate, with the rotation of the waterwheel, relying on the power of the water flow, the water of a bamboo tube was continuously poured into the tank, and when the two waterwheels rotated together, the water in the tank became turbulent, according to Yun Er's estimate, watering fifty acres a day and night is not a problem, if you can build a reservoir at the height of the river embankment, the efficiency can be higher.

Mr. Peng Li saw the river flowing into the field, so he beckoned to Yun Er and said, "You go to see Your Majesty, and say that Old Peng Li has already thought of a way to divert water, so the emperor doesn't have to carry water." ”

Yun Er shook his head and said, "This can't be done, you will be hated!" My eldest brother is not afraid, I just said that it was my eldest brother's idea, but if it is not good, it is my idea. ”

Mr. Peng Li smiled: "Silly doll, how long can the old man live?" Even if it's hated? Could he still dig the old man out of the ground and whip the corpse? Besides, the old man was originally the emperor's teacher, and he had to ask Zhao Zhen why he couldn't hear the advice, and he was slightly bewitched by the traitors and dirty people, and he went to carry water regardless of the royal face, and he forgot that managing the government was his original priority. ”

After Mr. Yun Erchao gave the salute, he went to Shuipotou, where the emperor and the empress and the concubines of the harem carried water were here, and the civil and military officials were also here, and they were busy from the time of sunrise, and now it was about to be noon, everyone was sweating, and the scene of hot work was easy to arouse the good anger in people's hearts.

Zhao Zhen looked at the busy people like insects and ants, and listened to the ministers around him constantly praising the words available to people's hearts, although he was a little tired, his heart was very satisfied.

Zou Tong supported the queen mother and stumbled towards the riverbank, the two small buckets were not so much on the queen's shoulders, but on the palace maid and Zou Tong's body, she walked in the middle but harmed.

Finally poured a small half bucket of water into the canal, Zou Tong looked up and saw Yun Er looking at him with a very complicated look, the queen had also seen Yun Er in the palace, the lady concubine would invite Yun Er if she had nothing to do, Su Shi Su Zhe went into the palace to talk, because she had no children, plus there was no conflict of interest, she also liked Yun Er and the three smart young people very much.

Before he was about to laugh and say that Yun Er was lazy, he saw Yun Er Tie picking up the bucket and throwing it far away with a blue face, and without waiting for the queen to ask him why, he saw Yun Er pointing to Wang Anshi, who was standing by the river and was busy fetching water, and roared: "Thief! You are deliberately making a fool of the most noble person in the world, how can the mother of a country be fooled! ”

The queen's chest was hot when she heard this, and tears almost flowed out, but she reacted immediately, slapped her palm on Yun Er's shoulder and whispered: "What do you know, this is a national matter, where is there room for you to intervene?" ”

Yun Er went crazy and stepped on the queen's remaining bucket a few times before saying: "If there is a shortage of water, we will find a way to divert water, and the matter that can be solved by installing a few water trucks, as for getting the people of the whole Kaifeng Mansion to carry water on the river embankment?" Those who know say that this is the official family who is sympathetic to the people and leads by example, but those who don't know think that our people in the Great Song Dynasty are fools! ”

I don't know when Zhao Zhen came over, saw a little boy crazy, and after figuring out the reason, he knew that he was complaining about the queen, and he was still a little happy in his heart, the people's sons and nephews have such filial piety, which proves that their rule is still very successful, but it is a bit rude to throw away the queen's bucket, and it is a bit rude to reprimand him, and if he can be close to his side, he is also the son of an official eunuch.
