Chapter 350: Seeing this official, you don't have to kneel

Liu Wan smiled: "This is not a dream, it just needs to be pumped, and it will be harder." ”

"Mother, what are you afraid of? The most feared thing is that there is no food in the granary. ”

Wang Xiao said that he was young and old.

Wang Jing fully assembled the waterwheel.

Looking down from the mountain, I feel that Taoyuan Village has a different scenery.

Thanks to the principle of leverage, it is relatively easy for people to step on the water wheel at the bottom of the mountain.

The biggest disadvantage is that when a person is treading a waterwheel, if there is no one to accompany him, he will feel very monotonous and boring.

"Jing'er, you can step on the water wheel."

Liu Wan shouted loudly on the mountain.

"Great! I'm stepping on it! Wang Jing also replied from afar.

As the water wheel was trampled, boxes of water were carried upwards to the top of the pool, flipped over, and the water was dumped right into the pool.

"Success, success!"

Wang Xiao was on the mountain, happily shouting to Wang Jing in the air.

Wang Jing asked the apprentice to tread water one by one, and walked quickly to the mountain to check the situation.

The pool was quickly filled with a continuous stream of tanks......

In the future, if there is a shortage of water, as long as the pool is filled with water, the water can be brought into the field through the canal, and this land can be planted with rice.

When he came down the mountain, Liu Wan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Jing'er, you are awesome." ”

"Mother, it's the ideas and sketches you provided, if it weren't for you, how could I have come up with it?"

Wang Jing has never been greedy for merit.

Liu Wan smiled and said, "I can think of it, and I want you to do it." ”

"Aunt Liu, is this a waterwheel?"

At this time, a voice that surprised Liu Wan's mother and son sounded behind them.

Liu Wan looked back, and she was even more surprised.

Because this time it was not only Guan Shopkeeper who came back, but also Dean Zheng and Wu Xian Ling behind him.

"Grass people, see Wu County Order."

Liu Wan hurriedly made a gesture and wanted to salute.

Before Liu Wan could kneel, Wu County Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Aunt Liu, we are all old acquaintances, Aunt Liu has also taken the emperor's imperial chastity archway, and there is no need to kneel and salute when you see the official."

Liu Wan hummed in her heart, it turned out that there was still this benefit in taking the imperial archway.

That's nice!

As long as she sees the county magistrate, she doesn't have to kneel when she sees anyone, and she can walk sideways in this county.

Liu Wan is a modern person in the end, and she is not used to the ancient tradition of kneeling when she sees officials.

No matter what people think now, Liu Wan feels quite undignified.

However, the ancient laws and hierarchical consciousness were strict, and if she really dared not kneel, Wu Xianling could break her legs.

Fortunately, Wu County's order is quite interesting.

Liu Wan's mother and son hurriedly greeted Dean Zheng and Shopkeeper Guan one by one.

Zheng Cheng came to Taoyuan Village for the first time, and praised Liu Wan at this time:

"I didn't expect that although Taoyuan Village is not big, the village has beautiful scenery and unique scenery, which is really a good place for self-cultivation."

Liu Wan smiled and nodded in agreement.

In fact, she was thinking in her heart: if there is money and food, everywhere is heaven. If there is no money and no food, the scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou will not be beautiful.

Liu Wan complained silently.

Shopkeeper Liu made his intention clear and said that he wanted to visit the waterwheel.

Liu Wan asked Wang Jing to take them to visit the waterwheel.

As soon as he saw the operation mode of the waterwheel, Wu Xianling's eyes lit up with excitement, not only went up to tread water in person, tried the feeling of the waterwheel, but also went to the mountain to observe how the waterwheel transported water up the mountain, whether it was efficient and so on.

After some tossing, Wu Xianling's clothes and boots were stained with some mud, but he didn't mind at all, and said happily:

"Today we have found the best way to solve the problem of the county's dry land turning into good land. It also gave the prefecture a countermeasure to deal with the drought. Wang Jing, you have made a lot of contributions, and this official wants to ask for credit for you. ”

Shopkeeper Liu asked Wang Jing how he came up with this method.

Wang Jing was protective of his mother to the outside world, only saying that he was forced to suffer from the lack of water in these barren fields on the mountain, so he thought about it while pondering, and it took a long time to come up with it, and it took several trial productions to finally succeed today.

Wu Xianling praised him and asked him to take a look at the sketches he usually drew when he was designing.

He also said that he wanted Wang Jing to accompany him to the state capital to meet the state pastor and present the sketch of the waterwheel to the state pastor. If it is adopted and promoted by the state pastor, Wang Jing will have a great contribution at that time.

Liu Wan felt that Wu County's order was not bad, at least she was not greedy for credit, and took all the credit for herself.

But then I thought about it, didn't this ancient prefectural order also have KPIs? At the end of the year, it will also take a year of political achievements.

If they don't have a good track record, they will be transferred, transferred to more remote areas, or even demoted.

Therefore, when the county magistrate is also to do something to show the superiors.

Of course, if Wu Xianling really intends to promote the waterwheel, Liu Wan doesn't mind passing on the technology of the waterwheel to benefit the world.

The current agricultural technology is too backward, and the peasants are too miserable.

So Liu Wan nodded and said: "Jing'er, you will go to see the state pastor with the order of Wu County, if you can let the people of the world use the waterwheel, it will also be a great matter of great merit." ”

Liu Wan was silent, and Wang Jing didn't dare to speak.

Now seeing that Liu Wan agreed, Wang Jing dared to follow and nodded.

Such a scene fell into the eyes of Wu Xianling, which was a manifestation of Wang Jing's filial piety and a compliment.

Liu Wan invited Dean Zheng and the three of them to sit in their courtyard.

On the way, Zheng Cheng said: "The technology of the waterwheel is an important invention of the agricultural machinery of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am going to write a letter to recommend it to the Ministry of Industry of the Dynasty."

Wu County Order, you can also inform the state pastor about this. Wu County ordered a force to promote waterwheels, and I will also explain to the Ministry of Industry. ”

When Wu Xianling heard it, he was very excited.

The Ministry of Industry of the Dynasty was Zheng Cheng's same year, and the relationship was good, and with Zheng Cheng's recommendation, he would definitely be valued by the Ministry of Industry.

Although it was not Wu Xianling's own invention of the waterwheel, as a local parent official, he has a share of credit in it.

Wu County Ling usually comes to drink tea and chat with him, as a local parent official, Wu County Ling has given him enough respect, Zheng Cheng will definitely pull Wu County Ling at a critical time.

Anyway, Zheng Cheng will stay in the local area for a long time in the future, and spend his life here, if he doesn't have a good relationship with his parents and officials in the local area, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move here.

If he is not good for this term, the next one will definitely know, and at that time, it is estimated that he will not give him a good face.

To be a man, you always have to take three steps forward.

The world of adults is originally about needing each other, huddling together for warmth, taking what they need, and not much friendship.

This mutual need is enough to maintain their relationship.

Just as they were heading to Liu Wan's house, the maverick grass shed outside the courtyard attracted their attention.

Wu Xian Ling approached, through the not too high fence, said:

"What are you doing with a stone mallet? How does it look a bit like a rice sticker? ”

Zheng Cheng's eyelids jumped, opened the fence door and went straight under the grass shed.

After looking up and down left and right in the place of Chung Mi for a while, a sentence came out:

"You actually disassembled, reassembled, and made a new Chung Mi machine? That's a lot of effort, right? Improves efficiency a lot, right? ”
