Chapter Forty-Six: Can You Really Make Water Coming Naturally!?
"You should say this to Brother Berwen yourself." Cao Ang bowed his hand and turned to leave.
The drama is speechless.
Bowen was sincere, but I couldn't understand his heart.
Beautiful ...... The prosperous era of the Han Dynasty is beautiful, and it should be seen with your own eyes.
Xi Zhicai's heart suddenly became transparent, and the indulgence in the past was nothing to show, and his talent was not shown, so he could only place his love on poetry and wine.
It's different now, and you have your own ambitions to fight for the long term.
As an official, you should learn Bowen, discipline yourself and serve the public without indulgence.
"That's how it should be, my strategist."
Xi Zhicai's face gradually became excited, his heart continued to surge, and his eyes became more and more determined.
"Go back and make up for sleep, get drunk for the last time today, and start quitting alcohol tomorrow!"
……
Juancheng Farm.
As soon as Xu Zhen arrived, he saw the commander of the guards in Cao Cao's office, and when he saw Xu Zhen, he immediately clenched his fists, "Captain, the lord ordered me to invite you to the banquet in the government office tonight." ”
"Specially designed for the captain."
"The lord also asked the last general to instruct, saying that the daughter of the deceased is in Yanzhou, and now he is invited, which can be regarded as a banquet with the school captain."
The daughter of the deceased?
Yo?! It can't be a blind date, right?
Xu Zhen didn't know why, and this idea suddenly popped up.
I chuckled in my heart, whether to say it or not, and a little nervous.
"Okay."
Xu Zhen simply agreed.
The commander of the guard was also stunned.
There was no answer for a while.
After a while, he smiled on his face, and hurriedly clenched his fists: "Okay, okay, then I will go back to my life." ”
After walking a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Captain, are you really going?" ”
Xu Zhen nodded: "Really go." ”
"Eh, yes, good ......"
He turned around and walked for a long time, and then turned back to look at Xu Zhen, but the person had already gone away, otherwise he would have to ask one more question, is it really going?
It wouldn't have been said on purpose, and then it was pigeon again.
At that time, I will be the one who will be scolded, and the lord will be reluctant to scold him.
Captain Bowen's official position in Juancheng is not high now, but his status is frighteningly high, and many advisers will not be easily offended, including the clan generals, who are favored by the lord and trusted, and Cao Chun is grateful.
Now there is still the eldest prince by his side.
This is not a great achievement of 10,000 people, who eats too much to scold him?
The commander scratched his head, still a little moved in his heart.
Finally pleased.
Entered the government office.
Xu Zhen took Cao Anggang to finish handling official business, and then ordered Dian Wei to gather the craftsmen.
Have all the recruited craftsmen gather in the open space outside the main hall.
The craftsman at the head is surnamed Pu, and his name is Pufeng.
That was the person Xu Zhen found among the wandering and fleeing refugees, and he specially invited him to the rule of the pawn farmer, which was equivalent to being accepted as a doorman.
Pu Feng brought a child named Pu Yuan, and although he is not very old now, he has already learned the things of craftsmen with his family.
Previously, the stirrups of Xu Zhen's guard camp were built by them, and they had a thorough understanding of the design drawings, and they could know it almost just by saying the theory.
"Captain."
Pu Feng was still wearing a linen vest, and he wore a thick gray coat on his coat, but he didn't shiver, and their craftsmen had been striking iron, and the temperature by the stove was very high, so he didn't feel cold.
At this time, although they didn't know what Xu Zhen told them to do, they also knew that there must be something important.
Otherwise, it is not common to gather so many people.
Xu Zhen arched his hand at these craftsmen and said, "Everyone, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and finally I have come up with something that can make the people more efficient if it is created. ”
"Next year's irrigation will reduce the number of ordinary people, and the surplus people can organize to go to the mountains to collect materials, so that more houses can be built near Juancheng."
"In this way, the resettlement of the families of the deceased last year will be rich again."
"But this design needs to be studied by all of you, and I just imagined it."
After Xu Zhen finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
The craftsmen led by him were even more sour.
It's winter, are you still thinking about improving our accommodation...... If it really does, it can double the efficiency of irrigation.
Next year, of course, will save a lot of time.
If tens of thousands of people can be idle, it will be easier to cut wood and build houses.
This official is really dedicated to the people.
I was ecstatic to think of the improved design of some kind of tool, and my sincerity was admirable.
You must know that his merits are already enough, and ordinary officials only need to wait to enjoy the support of the people, and then be promoted to other places after the beginning of spring.
Based on Bowen's merits, these craftsmen probably understand that many Confucian scholars in the countryside of the older generation have said that they will definitely be able to get a job of 2,000 stones.
Why should it be?
He is so for the people, what else can he get, it can't be more.
It's just that he doesn't want to be ashamed of his ability.
Good guys, really good guys.
"Captain, please say, we will do our best." Pu Feng's face was serious, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of energy.
"Good, good!!"
Xu Zhen was ecstatic at this time, and stretched out his hand to pat Pu Feng's shoulders.
I'm relieved to have you here.
I'm really lucky, I can farm a lot of self-discipline points now, and I can even get extra rewards!
These people under his hands are full of energy every time.
Whether it is a craftsman or a sergeant, all of them speak well and have strong ability, and the key is to be obedient and willing to work hard, not too comfortable.
Xu Zhen sometimes suspects that it is his own charm that has gradually improved, so he can let them belong like this.
But what he doesn't know is how much influence his actions have on the people around him.
Before he came to Juancheng, these people had never encountered such officials, and the only one who heard that he could take the lead and bow down to himself was the Dongjun Taishou Xiahoudun.
But it was only when I heard that I really had such an official that I felt so lucky, and in such a situation, where were they willing to be lazy and lazy, of course, while the captain was still in office, they followed enthusiastically.
"Then please!"
Xu Zhen immediately said his thoughts.
All mornings and days, I was explaining to Pu Feng and other craftsmen.
The principle is not too difficult.
The aim was to use a large columnar structure, inserted into the water, to pump the water from the ditch high and store it, and then pipe the water to the rest of the place.
Then build valves at key nodes, open the valve to bring water, close when closed.
In this way, water can be pumped into a high reservoir by hand every day, and the ditches that were previously built can be enlarged to allow more water to come in from the tributaries of the Yellow River.
"In order to commemorate Brother Zhicai's reminder, how about this device called tap water?!" Xu Zhen looked left and right.
Cao Ang: "......"
Pu Feng: "......"
Dian Wei: "Cangtian, can you really let the water come by itself?!" ”
At first when they heard it, they were confused.
How does water flow to high places?
Later, Xu Zhen repeated it several times, and slowly understood.
"It's wonderful, it's like taking bamboo water to overturn the car, but the water can only be used in the turbulent flowing water, and manpower can't do it, but this kind of wooden cylinder can take water to a high place with a spiral, and then make a valve bayonet, so that the water flows everywhere with a bamboo pipe."
"The little one probably already understands," Pu Feng immediately laughed, "Thank you, Captain, the little one will be developed immediately, but I am mostly a blacksmith, and we need to recruit some more people who are good at carpenters and exquisite crafts." ”
"In this way, the fruit will be produced within three days."
"It's just the hand of the one who turns the low water......"
Pawn Wei immediately patted his chest, "I can try." ”
At the same time, Xu Zhen also said: "You can use a donkey or a horse." ”
The two finished speaking almost at the same time, and then looked at each other awkwardly.
Xu Zhen leaned back tactically, and you received your words......
made Dian Wei's eyes full of resentment.
"Tsk."
Annoying.
