Chapter 79: Turning things around
"What if I can get the disaster area back to spring ploughing?" Yingyu said lightly.
"No water, how to spring ploughing?" Fusu looked disdainful, and didn't even bother to argue.
"It is said that the water flows to the lower ......"
Yingyu held the jade wat with both hands and said to the first emperor, "Please move my father, and ask your sons to witness a miracle, reversing the world, low water and high flow!" ”
"Yingyu is saying that if the water of the Wei River is diverted to a high place, the problem of spring irrigation can be solved?"
Feng Qujian frowned in surprise, "It's just that the water from the lower places is transported to the higher places layer by layer, and this project needs to recruit a large number of conscripts, which will cost the people and money, and it will be a drop in the bucket!" ”
"I'll see when I see it!"
Ying Zheng stepped down from the high platform, full of interest.
These days, Yingyu is sneaky, summoning various big businessmen with high intensity, and even smelting high-quality steel, how can it escape Yingzheng's eyes and ears? !
It's just that Ying Zheng also resisted his curiosity and didn't unveil all this in advance.
Looking at Yingyu's calm mind, it is estimated that there is another thing to be presented in the world.
……
Thirty miles away from the imperial city, there is a large piece of fertile land, which is the royal beautiful field.
The water of the Wei River rushes through the edge of the field and continues for thousands of years.
Before everyone arrived at Meitian, they looked at it from afar, a roulette wheel with a diameter of two zhang was rotating at a constant speed, driving the water above the roulette wheel to pour down, and the water flow formed a looming rainbow under the refraction of the warm spring sun.
Everyone was still sitting in the bronze car, looking at this scene in shock.
"God, can you really lead low water to high places?"
"Looking at the diameter of the roulette wheel is 2 zhang, can't it lead the water up to two zhang?"
……
The First Emperor and his party came to the cart to observe it up close, and they were even more shocked.
The roulette wheel does not rotate by the power of humans and animals, but relies on the impact of the water flow to drive the roulette wheel to rotate. At every foot of the rim of the wheel, there is a small wooden barrel that holds water low and pours out from above.
Qin Qing, who had already been informed, waited for a long time again, and enthusiastically explained the principle to the First Emperor.
"Take advantage of the momentum of the water flow to reverse the situation, as long as the Weishui does not dry, the power will not stop, and the magic will work!"
"How much does this cost? How long is the project? Lees' eyes burned.
"The production of cylinder cars solves two problems, one is the various parts, and the other is the assembly by the mountains and waters. With proper planning, a watermill can be built in three to five days. ”
"As for the parts, they can be produced according to the standardization and assembly line proposed by the ninth prince, but they require a lot of assistance from forced labor. The second difficulty is that it is built on the mountain, which requires infrastructure leveling and a lot of forced labor. ”
"The proposal of the Ninth Prince, all the conscripts and servants, will be provided by the imperial court, and we will be responsible for the raw materials and assembly."
Qin Qing is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and explained calmly.
"You mean, as long as the imperial court solves the conscription, there is no need to bear other expenses?"
Feng Quji was surprised, "Once this water conservancy artifact is popularized on a large scale, it can greatly alleviate the water shortage in the disaster area." It's not just one or two, it's even hundreds of cars! This investment will be sky-high! ”
"Yes. The Ninth Prince had already taken this into account and at the same time endowed us with another artifact. Ba Qing waved his hand, "Please move, adults!" ”
……
A hundred steps away, there is a wooden house, and the beautiful seal is engraved with several big characters: water conservancy mill. There is a row of small characters in the following notes: grinding flour, processing corn, making tofu and soy milk.
A gazebo is set up next to the wooden house, where visitors can sit and rest.
For the first time, everyone watched closely how the wheat grains were turned into fine sand-like flour using hydraulic kinetic energy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this kind of pot helmet is made of flour, crispy and sweet."
The two daughters, Ji Bingqing and Ji Yujie, each carried a golden pot helmet roasted in a dustpan, and sprinkled a little sesame seeds on the surface, which made the index fingers of the ministers move.
Everyone munched on Kacha Kacha and was amazed again and again.
Meng Tian's eyes were even redder.
"The pot helmet of our marching army is really difficult to swallow, extremely heavy, with bad teeth, and it can't even bite it, and it can even resist the enemy's arrow feathers. If you change to this kind of pot helmet, I thank you on behalf of the whole army! ”
"General Mengda, do you know how our pot helmets are made? Wait for me to perform live. ”
Ji Yujie happily took out an iron helmet, adjusted the flour into a lake, put in a little spicy sauce, and the lake was in the helmet, and it could be roasted on the fire.
A moment later, a fresh fragrance wafted in.
"According to the Ninth Prince, adults can march in a hurry in the future, and they can bring flour, and when they need to make rice, they can make pot helmets according to the way they just showed, which is both fresh and delicious."
"Your Majesty, Ba Qing is a benevolent and righteous businessman, and not only did he not take a penny to build a waterwheel, but he also had to paste materials and craftsmen upside down."
Meng Tian's eyes burned as he looked at the freshly roasted pot helmet, and continued, "Your Majesty, the minister proposes that the flour produced by the Baqing Water Conservancy Mill be included in the special military supply. ”
"Yes!" Ying Zheng's head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Qing was overjoyed.
Although the money earned by becoming a special military supply is not much, whether it is a mill or a waterwheel, it will be included in the protection of the military, and as long as the friendship of the imperial court is harvested, it is not a matter of time before it makes money?
"Your Majesty take a break, please have tea!" Qin Qing smiled and led the First Emperor to the pavilion table and chairs, except for a few elders, a large group of courtiers stood without complaint.
"What Qin Qing said is tea, not 'Tu'? What is this 'tea'? Zhou Qingchen said curiously.
"According to what the Ninth Prince said, the 'Tu' will be removed from the turnips, and one less horizontal is tea."
With the on-site brewing of Xi Bingqing and Xi Yujie, a fragrant fragrance of tea wafted out, refreshing people's hearts.
The ministers took a small sip of tea, and their eyes suddenly widened.
"How can this tea be free of bitterness, fresh and sweet?"
"How is this tea, fragrant and fragrant?"
……
The crowd was amazed.
Jiu Gongzi said that the disaster in Han and Zhao was affected this time, but the tea was not affected much, and it was the season of picking. Tea picking, unlike heavy physical labor in engineering, can be used by women, children, and children. ”
Qin Qingmei's eyes rippled, "As long as we have the original tea, we can make such fragrant tea, and then sell it to the Western Regions by the Ninth Prince." ”
Hiss......
It's a far-reaching calculation.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Zhou Qingchen, the sycophant, said with a smile again, "The old minister is stupid, so he completely strung it together and figured it out."
The waterwheel, relying only on the power of the imperial court, will be a lot of investment.
But if Qinqing only relies on himself to build a water conservancy mill, it is also a huge investment, and the biggest investment is people's power.
In the disaster-stricken homes, strong laborers built waterwheel mills, but women and children could go to pick tea, so it can be said that the whole people went into battle to relieve the disaster.
Strong laborers served in the conscription in exchange for a full meal, women and children picked tea in exchange for disaster relief food, and then sold ten times the tea to the Western Regions, which was a lot of income.
The flour produced by the water conservancy mill can be sold to the people and the military, and many parties will benefit, and a game of chess will live!
Between the clouds and rain, the nine princes have benefited in many ways, and the road is far-reaching, and the old minister admires it! ”
Zhou Qingchen spared no effort to pat himself on the back, in addition to the fact that this is the case, but also because Yingyu is extremely sensible, and yesterday's return gift was specially prepared.
It's simply the beauty of an adult, it's a gesture, and Zhou Qingchen keenly found that His Majesty loves to listen.
Every time he praised Yingyu, although His Majesty showed disdain, he could feel the smile and arrogance hidden under Yingzheng's deep gaze.
"Yes! The ninth prince walks the avenue, and the eldest son walks the art of disaster relief. ”
Feng Qujian looked relieved, "It's no wonder that the Ninth Prince didn't go to the disaster relief site to come up with such a strange strategy."
This is to strategize in the strategizing and win thousands of miles away! ”
