Don't show off drinking a bowl of tea? After that, he asked! Little brother, forgive the water is what you call it by "What is the name?" ”

The boy replied: "This is Tu, and it is drunk by the officials and masters." However, I need to put a lot of ingredients in it, so I didn't fry it and brew it with water, so it is easy to make and delicious. ”

Zhang Xiu also probably knew how to make tea after the Tang Dynasty. Roughly as this little boy said, he secretly said: "It turns out that there are people making tea so early, but if it is according to the historical exhibition, when this method of making tea is popular, I am afraid it will be in the Tang Dynasty." Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but wonder: Little brother, how do you understand this?"

The boy replied, "Daddy used to work in the house of an official in Luoyang, I saw it when I was a child, and I know this." Now that my father is not in good health and it is hard to go to the field, I will give some cold water to people passing by. Earn some money to buy food

Zhang Xiu smiled and touched Xiao Tong's head, and said with a smile: "Really sensible." Then he asked, "Little brother, what's your name?" Where's your dad?.

The little boy said: "I called Lu Qian After speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged man on the side: "Daddy is there."

Zhang Xiu was about to go over and talk to the middle-aged man, when a man ran over, only to see him sweating profusely, obviously running with all his might, came to Lu Qian's father's side and took a few breaths and said, "Old Lu, hurry, go to your field to have a look." That Mr. Ma got a thing out, but "it's amazing." You won't have to work so hard in the future

Lu Qian's father heard this and asked strangely, "What did that Mr. Ma come up with?" ”

The man walked up to Zhang Xiu and picked up a wooden bowl, and he didn't feel polite, so he directly filled a bowl into the small bucket, "Gollum." After drinking the ground. Only then did he say: "Lao Lu." You'll find out for yourself by going and seeing, and everyone should go and see it too. That Mr. Ma made something amazing. ”

At this time, an old farmer asked, "That Mr. Ma passed by here with two other gentlemen a few days ago." Seeing that Lao Lu's waist was not good, said that he wanted to get him something, Mr. Ma?

The man replied, "Yes, it's Mr. Ma." The things he wants to get for Lao Lu have already been made, it's magical, let's go and take a look. ”

After he finished speaking, Lu Qian's father should run towards his field first, and when the people saw it, they also got up one after another, calling friends and saying, "There is nothing to do left and right, and go and see."

"Okay"

Zhang Xiu saw that all the people were ready to go and have a look, so he grabbed the man who had just spoken and asked, "What's going on, tell me about it." The man saw that Zhang Xiu was dressed as a son-in-law, and he didn't dare to offend, so he told the matter as it was.

It turned out that Lu Qian's father's name was Lu Da. used to be a subordinate in the family of an official eunuch in Luoyang City, and he has been doing it for a long time. I had problems with my waist, and I planted it at that time. The eunuch's family was also good, and when he saw Lu Da being honest, he paid for him to get his daughter-in-law. After giving birth to a son, he also helped choose a name, which is Lu Qian, otherwise he would not have been able to come up with such a good name with Lu Da's knowledge.

How do you know that when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang later, this official eunuch offended Dong Zhuo and wanted to be beheaded all over the house, Lu Da just went home to visit his mother-in-law and children, and escaped. Later, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang. Lu Da also heard the reminder of Zhang Xiu's subordinates, and led his mother-in-law and children into the mountains to hide in advance, and then heard that Zhang Xiu was based in Nanyang County. So he came here with some of the people, and was given a few acres of land.

However, Lu Da's good fortune may have run out, although most of Nanyang County is plain, there are also many mountainous areas. Lu Da was unfortunately assigned to a high ground, and although the river flowed under the fields, it was two or three zhang high. If Lu Da wanted to irrigate, he could only use a flat pole and a wooden bucket to carry water and pour it into the ditch he had dug himself.

It doesn't hurt if it's someone else. It's just a few feet high. It's just that it took a little more effort, but Lu Da's waist is not good, so it will increase his burden.

And a few days ago, Mr. Ma and two other scribes dressed as people passed by, the situation at that time was similar to Zhang Xiu's now, the water bladder was exhausted, so he went to Lu Qian to buy some cold water, but a scribe asked Lu Qian a few words, but Lu Qian revealed the situation at home, that Mr. Ma listened, so he went to Lu Da's field to take a look, but after reading it, he said that he wanted to get something out to help Lu Da solve this problem, and finally made that thing after a few days.

After Zhang Xiu listened, he asked, "What's the name of that Mr. Ma?" ”

The man listened, thought for a moment, and replied, "I've heard it before." It seems to be called Ma Jun, but we all call him Mr. Ma

Zhang Xiu heard it and felt a little familiar. But he couldn't remember who it was, so he just muttered a few words: "Ma Jun."

Although Zhang Xiu did not know who Ma Jun was. But for those who are familiar with the name, Zhang Xiu knows that it is not simple, so he decided to take a look, and said to the man: "So-and-so also go and see what it is, and you take so-and-so to have a look."

The man

At this time, Xiao Lu Qian said: "Big brother, I also want to go, let's go together." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled. Nodding his head, "Okay." Then he instructed a personal guard to help Lu Qian watch the cart of tea, and then asked Zhang Jidao: "Uncle would like to go and watch it together?" ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "For the sake of my uncle, I won't join in the fun with you young people, so let's go." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and took Lu Qian's little hand. said, "Let's go." ”

So Lu Qian and the man led the way, and Zhang Xiu led two guards to follow behind. After walking for a while, I saw that the people who had been resting before were all gathered in front of them, not caring about the scorching heat at all, and kept exclaiming.

Zhang Xiu heard it and said curiously: "What is it that makes everyone so surprised?" ”

The man said proudly: "I'm not wrong, I'll know if I go and see." Along the way, the man saw that Zhang Xiu was approachable, so he let go a lot.

I saw that Xiao Lu Qian pulled Zhang Xiu and divided the crowd, and everyone was willing to give way to him when they saw that it was Lu Qian, and they didn't dare to offend Zhang Xiu who followed behind, so that Zhang Xiu came to the crowd smoothly.

Seeing the thing in front of him, Zhang Xiu exclaimed in surprise: "This is a rollover?" ”

The so-called overturned, also known as keel waterwheel. Its keel blades are used as chains, lying in rectangular slots, and the body can be placed diagonally on the edge of a river or pond. The lower sprocket and part of the body were submerged in the water. When the sprocket is driven, the blade rises along the groove. To the upper end of the long trough to send the water out. In this way, the water is transported to the place where it is needed, and the water can be continuously taken in, the efficiency is greatly improved, and the operation and handling are convenient. The water intake point can also be transferred in time, which can be irrigated or discharged.

As long as one end of the overturned car is placed at the water intake point, and the other side is connected to the ditch, whether it is hand-cranked, pedal-pedaled, ox-turned, water-turned, or wind-turned, it can be said that it is a great improvement in ancient agricultural irrigation.

Zhang Xiu was not a farmer before crossing, and he was not very familiar with the overturn, but high school students in the 21st century had to go to learn agriculture, and Zhang Xiu had seen the model of the overturned car at that time, and vaguely remembered that the overturning car was a very important tool in ancient agriculture.

Zhang Xiu once went to the field during the spring ploughing. Although there is a little pretentious meaning in it, but at that time Zhang Xiu also observed the irrigation tools used by the people, which did not overturn, Zhang Xiu did not care at that time, but just sighed at the backwardness of irrigation tools, for agriculture, he is really powerless.

But now seeing this real version of the overturned, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but get excited, and the sound that Fang just shouted was also very loud, so that the people around him heard it.

At this time, a scribe dressed as a scribe and a person of the same age as Zhang Xiu came to Zhang Xiu in a few steps. asked, "This brother." Where have you seen this tool? How did you learn its name? ”

This is a question of Zhang Xiu. He couldn't say it clearly, so he made an excuse and said, "But I've seen it in a book, and where did I know the name?" ”

It was then that the scribe felt that he was being rude. He bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "I am getting off the horse." Cursive character Deheng, I don't know the name of this brother? ”

Zhang Xiu bowed and replied: "Under Zhang Si, the cursive word Boyuan." But it was Zhang Xiu who took the homonym of Zhang Xiu's embroidery to make the name. Guy Zhang Xiu's name is too big, and it is naturally not good to report it.

Ma Jun heard it and said curiously: "Jun has also read a lot of books, but he has never seen this overturned car recorded in the books, and I don't know where Bo Yuan watched it." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled. said: "I saw it from the library in Wancheng, but I can't remember the name of this book." If you have the opportunity, you should find it and have a look with Brother Deheng. ”

Ma Jun heard this, and said: "I see. ”

Zhang Xiu said strangely: "But I don't know where Brother Deheng learned about the production of this dump, and in the opinion of Yisi, this dump has never been used for irrigation." ”

Ma Jun said with a smile: "This overturned car was built by a eunuch first during the first emperor, and they were fortunate to see this thing when they were in Luoyang." However, at that time, it was not used for irrigation. I heard the day before yesterday that this eldest brother had trouble getting water. But I thought that this thing might be useful, so I tried it after improving it, but I didn't want it to work, and now it seems to be good. ”

After listening to Ma Jun's words, Zhang Xiu was sure that this Ma Jun must be the person who used the overturned car for agricultural purposes in history, although he still can't remember his achievements in history. But simply improving the overturned car and applying it to agriculture will certainly make the name go down in history.

As a traverser, Zhang Xiu naturally knows the importance of skilled craftsmen, especially for people like Ma Jun, the role of a single overturned car is huge. Remembering that Fang Cai Ma Jun also showed a lot of interest in Dongguan and the Lantai collection, he had the idea of inviting him to Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu had his own way to leave him behind.
