Chapter 13 Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements
Flowers that bloomed last year will bloom again this spring, and those who saw them last year will see them again this spring.
The stone path originally paved in Jinchangfang has not changed except for the oily slippery foot plate of the tourists.
Even the bamboo that was cut down the year before last has emerged from the ground one by one this year, and the vitality is tenacious and tiresome.
If the Big Wild Goose Pagoda had not been destroyed by an earthquake, it would have stood for a thousand years.
It's good to be long-lasting, but there should be some changes.
Therefore, Yun Chu decided to renovate the water features in various places in Jinchangfang this year, and there should be a fountain anyway, right?
However, after discussing with the craftsmen, Yun Chu found that Datang did not have pressurization equipment, and the fountain could spray up to two meters high, which was almost a fountain height that could only appear when the height difference of Jinchangfang was used to the limit.
Yun Chu didn't care, he wanted a fountain that could spew out a thirty-meter-high column of water...... For anyone who has seen a 100-meter-high fountain, this is already his minimum requirement.
The craftsmen unanimously agreed that their own county was crazy.
However, when they heard that the county lord was willing to pay a thousand yuan to build such a useless thing, for the sake of money, they expressed their willingness to try it.
There was a big smart man who made a big pump to spray water upwards, and under the operation of the four strong men, they sprayed the water to a height of more than ten meters, and were severely beaten by the county honor.
Being beaten is nothing to the craftsmen, as long as they can get the money, they are willing to beat them a few more times.
Another clever man took a fancy to the fire-fighting bucket truck of Wuhoupu, and he creatively installed a movable baffle and rocker arm to the bucket car, and used the bellows principle to put pressure on the water.
Then after the six strong men pressurized the bucket car with their rocker arms, they suddenly opened the water outlet valve, and the water column shot out from the bucket car, this time it was not bad, there was a water column twenty meters high, but it could not last.
This time, people used their brains, so Yun Chu rewarded them with ten yuan to help them compensate for the barrel car of Wuhou Shop, and they could also make a little profit.
"Do you have to have a jet of water that shoots ten feet high? Is it to make up for the regret that you don't pee far enough and not high enough? ”
Gentleness couldn't understand Yun Chu's quirks at all.
Yun Chu said: "I don't have to ask for a water column that is ten zhang high, what I want is a way to shoot the water column ten zhang high." ”
"With this method, you can urinate ten feet high?"
"I can't, but I can continue to make a way to drop boulders or projectiles a hundred feet away."
Gently shook his head and said: "This is impossible, there is no such wrestler, and there is no such equipment." ”
Yun Chu stroked his gentle head pityingly and said, "Do you remember the big explosion of the waste stone platform?" ”
Gentle frowned, "We didn't do it. ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Of course I know that we didn't do it, but when the waste stone platform exploded, stones the size of a human head flew to the Taiji Palace, and stones bigger than a person flew to the Taishi Eunuch more than ten zhang away, killing several people.
Think about it, how far is the waste stone platform from the Taiji Palace? ”
Gently thought for a moment and said in surprise: "More than 100 zhang." ”
Yun Chu stroked his gentle head again and said, "You just said that there is no such wrestler in this world, and the instrument can throw a stone the size of a human head a hundred feet away.
So, how did that stone fly to the Taiji Temple? ”
After Yun Chu said this, he left the gentleness in his thoughts and went to his official office.
Because he didn't want to live a hundred years in Datang and live with ten days, he felt that he needed to make everyone move.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty doesn't welcome smart people very much, mainly because there are too many smart people in this era, and the emperor is just a little stupid, so he can't be an outstanding smart person.
Everyone is pretending to be stupid, so most of the people who think they are smart don't mix so well at this time, because the people who pretend to be stupid have already seen through everything.
Yun Chu proposed a bounty and raised questions, so someone in this world should come to take his bounty and answer his questions.
And Yun Chu's current identity happens to be able to take out a reward and ask questions, if he is not the county order of Wannian County, even if he puts forward a hundred rewards and questions, no one will pay attention to them.
Don't look at the two things of the fountain and the flying stone, it seems that they are not related, but if someone understands the concept of pressure, it will be logical to solve the problem of the flying stone.
That's right, what Yun Chu wants in the end is artillery!
Lest when others play chess with him, they always ask him if he wrote the cannon wrongly, and the explanation of the cannon next to the fire word in the Tang Dynasty at this time is incorrect, it is the meat wrapped in fire and called the cannon.
The heavy snow a few days ago was the last stubbornness of the cold winter, and after this snow melted, everything really entered the season of recovery.
Yun Chu looked at the woad sent by the doctor of agriculture and was silent for a long time.
Gently and suspiciously, he said: "This is the Chinese herb that you spent fifty yuan to cultivate?" ”
Xu Youdao, a doctor of agriculture, said: "I have cultivated six fields, and it is currently the best state, if the county still wants a bigger wead, it needs to add an additional 100 yuan for two years." ”
Xu You is a robot who has no emotion for woad, he doesn't care what woad will become, he only cares about the famous two hundred and five county orders in Chang'an City in front of him, whether he will continue to invest in him, so that he can continue to live a happy life for two years.
Anyway, at present, the county magistrate is only interested in big things, according to his planting experience for more than a year, as long as the top half of the two-pound grass in front of him is cut off, continue to plant, and wait for the grass to bloom, and then choose a big grass to hybridize, he thinks that this year, should be able to grow a tree weighing more than five pounds.
"How many seeds?"
Xu You took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve and put it on Yun Chu's table, Yun Chu opened it and looked at it, and found that the seeds of the woad were very small, so he took out dozens of seeds, and returned the remaining seeds to Xu Youdao: "Take care of these woad vegetables, the bigger the better, at the same time, the official will transfer you from Sinong Temple to Dr. Sinong of Wannian County, and I will come forward to help you promote the official position of Jiupin to the eighth grade, if you can cultivate the cabbage I hope for, not to mention how much money you will be given, just you personally, the official will reward you with two hundred yuan." ”
When Xu You heard this, his heart jumped wildly, the doctor of Sinong Temple may sound good when he says it, but poverty is also really poverty.
To put it mildly, the corners of his official robe have already fluffed, and looking at the official robes worn by the officials of Wannian County, he knows how rich the oil and water are on the errand here.
If you are promoted, you can get 200 yuan of money, plus savings, you can buy a two-story house in Guangfufang, and you no longer have to crowd a family of nine in a small courtyard, and the husband and wife don't have to share a bed with their five children every night......
Yun Chu seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, so he continued: "I will also reward you with a house, Guangfu Fang, or Anye Fang, you can choose it yourself." ”
Xu You couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said, "In this way, please give Xiaguan a quiet and fertile land." ”
Yun Chu nodded and said, "I'll give you an appointment right away." ”
The clever Xu You asked again: "I don't know what the county honor's hope for is like like a cabbage?" ”
Yun Chu immediately spread out a large piece of paper, used a brush to draw a picture of "cabbage" on the paper, and after drying the ink, he said to Xu You: "This is such a cabbage, size, appearance, it is all like this." ”
Xu You has been a doctor of agriculture in Sinong Temple for fifteen years, and he has long not believed that Shangguan painted him a big cake, and the promotion of the ninth rank official to the eighth grade is of little significance to him, and there is no way to solve his urgent task.
At the age of forty, it is impossible for him to be promoted to a seventh-rank official in the remaining years, and if he can't be a seventh-rank official, it makes no sense to be an eighth-rank or ninth-rank official, because these Yulu can't let the whole family live a good life at all.
Therefore, he didn't care about the promotion, but he had to write a document for him at the beginning of the year, and he had to write down the two hundred yuan of money and the matter of a house clearly.
This is an official who has long given up hope of promotion, and he only wants tangible benefits.
Yun Chu looked at Xu You and said, "Do you really only want a two-story small building, with two hundred yuan, and don't want the rewards of the imperial court and promotion?" ”
Xu You nodded without thinking: "These are enough for the lower officials, and the cultivation of Daxiang is completely the credit of the county honor." ”
Yun Chu laughed and said, "Just don't regret it in the future." ”
Xu You immediately said: "The lower officials have no regrets!" ”
Seeing such a fool, Yun Chu felt that there was no need to pity him, so he asked the gentle Chinese people to write down three documents, two of them signed, sealed, and drawn, one of which was entered into the Wannian County file, one was held by Yun Chu, and one was left for Xu You.
Seeing Xu You leave the official hall with an excited expression, he frowned gently: "Is the reward too much?" ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "If this kind of woad is planted after the summer harvest and harvested after two and a half months, with a yield of more than 4,000 catties per mu, do you still think that a small building is a lot of money for 200 yuan?" ”
Gentle smile: "Although it is impossible, if it is really as you said, with this thing, it will not be a problem for you to get the title of a county boy." ”
Yun Chu happily patted his gentle shoulder and said, "Wait and call me Yun County Man." ”
After speaking, he pulled out a plum tree in his flower pot, carefully loosened the soil in the flower pot, and finally, carefully cut off the cabbage body of the cabbage that Xu You brought, leaving only the old roots planted in the flower pot......
After planting the cabbage, Yun Chu looked at it with a curious face and said gently: "Planting a good cabbage is far more important than taking the city on the battlefield, and it is also more popular."
We don't compete with others for those famous achievements, and we don't compete with others for those good things that are both famous and rich.
As long as Lao Tzu grows the herbs well, he can be ashamed to kill those old thieves who are strategizing and winning thousands of miles away! ”
Came friends, a little late, I continued
