Chapter 71 Zhang Liang who agrees
Zhang Liang naturally agreed, so he found a few strong men to walk to the keel waterwheel and began to lift water.
Everyone was about ten feet away from the place where the waterwheel was, and their focus was on this Quyuan plow, so they did not go to the keel waterwheel.
Because of the performance of the Quyuan plow, Zhang Liang is also extremely optimistic about this keel waterwheel, and is more concerned, if this thing is really as his son said, then, the Yellow Canal will play its greatest function.
After all, the Yellow Ditch is already set to be four zhang deep, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the threat of flooding, but in the same way, if the water surface is too deep, it is not beneficial to the cultivation of farmland, after all, lifting water from the bottom up is a thankless task.
Of course, this was not at the time of this keel waterwheel.
Zhang Liang said in an expectant tone: "Let's start......
A few strong men squatting at the position of the dragon head of the keel waterwheel held a few horizontal plates at the dragon's head and began to rotate.
Zhang Liang looked down and saw that the keel leaf row on that side was rolled upward, and there was still a splash of river water on it.
"Can you really ......" Before he saw the water come up, Zhang Liang was determined, and sure enough, when his muttering fell, he could see a steady stream of water being lifted from the river to the shore, and then slowly flowing along the land on the shore to the surrounding area......
Zhang Liang was full of excitement, but he didn't know if this excitement was directly because of this keel waterwheel.
He looked at Han Fei not far away, and also signaled the meaning of bringing up the water, but the latter was interested, looked at Zhang Liang and said, "The ovary, let's sort out a small communication water ...... first."
Hearing Han Fei's words, Zhang Liang called over a few young men who were digging a ditch to build a small ditch, which was not wide or deep, but just enough to draw out water.
Looking at the bubbling water, Han Fei's original frowning brows were lowered slightly, and those young men also dredged the small ditch and the water that was brought up was the ground became wet.
Although Li He's family doesn't do much about agricultural production, they still understand basic farming, Li He's eldest son, Li Gen, said: "Father, this keel waterwheel and Quyuan plough combined, even if you reclaim a hundred acres of land a day, there is no problem, and it is not in vain that my father has forgotten to sleep and eat these few days to build these objects!" ”
Li He looked at the Quyuan plough in his hand, and he didn't expect that this thing would have such a big effect, it could make it easy to reclaim the land, a hundred acres of land, in the past, it was necessary for a family to catch up day and night for several months, and it was not necessarily possible to reclaim a hundred acres of land, but now there is this Quyuan plow, keel waterwheel and the rake that has not played a role for the time being, and two people can reclaim a hundred acres of land a day, and there is nothing impossible!
Li He was shocked and looked at Han Fei not far away, and said to his sons: "The son is really amazing...... It's hard to imagine that a noble character like his son could design such an object! ”
The sons also nodded.
Han Fei watched the water gradually flood the land, and also said: "After the land is wet, first use the curved plow to turn over the ground, and then use the rake to level the ground, by the way, the size of each piece of land must be planned, and a ditch must be sorted out, and it is important that each piece of land must have a water intake gap." ”
At the same time, Zhang Liang had already walked in the direction of the keel waterwheel, and when he heard Han Fei say this, he was also quite surprised.
[I really didn't expect Childe to be ...... A good farmer ......]
I saw that Li He responded, that is, he continued to pick up the plough handle, and began to plough with the coachman, without taking a few steps, only to hear Li He say: "I regret that I did not make the original size according to the design of the son, and now I found that this Quyuan plow is really a little small......
Hearing this, Zhang Liang also turned around and smiled at his home.
Han Fei looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Now Wen Qing doesn't think I'm acting extravagantly?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liang smiled, and naturally knew what his son meant, it was nothing more than that he felt that the object that his son came up with was not feasible before, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to do so, and now it seems that it is not so difficult to accept, Zhang Liang is not afraid to admit his mistake: "Nine sons, this time it is the ovary that is wrong......
Hearing that his staff member admitted his mistake, Han Fei finally raised the corners of his mouth, but the words that came out immediately did have some regret: "It's a pity...... It is not possible to cast a ploughshare blade with iron, and although bronze can be replaced, it is far less sharp than iron! ”
Zhang Liang nodded, now Zhang Liang felt that it was understandable that these farm tools were made of iron, but he still couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, so he looked at his son and asked, "Could it be that Gongzi has accepted the 'Mo family' or 'farmer' before?" ”
Hearing this, Han Fei pondered for a moment, felt that he denied it, so he nodded and said: "I have read some books, these things came on a whim, I didn't expect it to be so useful." ”
Zhang Liang smiled, he naturally knew the truth of Han Fei's words, but since Gongzi didn't want to say it, Zhang Liang also had the self-knowledge to stop asking, but glanced around and said: "Originally, I still thought that after the Huangdi Canal was dug through, I would be able to rest in the mining for a while, but this time Gongzi took out a good thing, so that Wen and the people in this mining couldn't stop." ”
"Liang plans to create 10,000 acres of fertile land on the north bank of this water, and then dredge a few branch roads of the Yellow Ditch, so that after the autumn harvest, wheat can be planted!"
Han Fei looked at his staff, and couldn't help asking, "Is it a little too much to oppress the people in the quarry?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liang also laughed twice, and replied: "Gongzi doesn't know, although the annual harvest is not enough, but the most important thing is because of the impact of the water leakage, and now the Yellow Canal can ensure that this is not affected by the flood."
When the birth of agricultural tools such as quyuan plows, keel waterwheels, and plough rakes, which are conducive to agricultural production, those people will have no reason not to do it, after all, the seeds that are sown now will be turned into grain after two or three months.
This is a real thing, even if Gongzi stops him, the people of Yiyi may not not do these things, after all, it is too tempting to have surplus food every year, and there is no reason for Gongzi to refuse.
After all, Childe's tax is taken from the harvest of the people, and the more the grain of the people of the city is harvested, the more ...... Childe will also harvest."
