Chapter 106: Making a Waterwheel

Mao Jiao's words for this guy.

It is indeed not without reason.

When I won the government, I believed it a little.

After all, let anyone see.

That's probably what they all think.

In later generations, there was often a point of view, that is, the emperors of the feudal dynasty, as well as the ministers, were very stupid.

Because, these people don't know that the machine is powerful.

I don't know how powerful the productivity that can be born from machinery.

Instead, I think this thing is a trick of kinky ingenuity.

Therefore, from this point of view, it is determined that the ancient feudal emperors were just a group of stupid and stupid people.

But they didn't know it.

This is not because the princes and ministers of these feudal dynasties are stupid.

On the contrary, because of their cleverness.

It's because they're so smart that they're making empirical mistakes.

In the eyes of later generations, technology is almost omnipotent.

In the future when technology is becoming more and more powerful.

Everything in human fantasy becomes reality.

So, most of the people in the Hereafter, except for some stupid ones.

Most people think that technology is powerful.

It's omnipotent.

But.

All of this is due to the fact that human beings in later generations have seen with their own eyes the tremendous abilities generated when machinery is developed to the extreme.

Put it in the current era.

Who knows.

Is the machine so awesome?

Who can know how powerful industrial civilization will be when it develops?

How much of a difference will it make to the world?

All this, most people, simply do not know.

Or rather, don't even want to imagine!

After all, everything in the afterlife, in the eyes of humans hundreds of years ago, is probably a myth.

In the face of the things in the myth, it is inevitable that there will be people who will speak out against it.

In this regard, Ying Changsheng, he was not surprised at all, but looked at Mao Jiao in front of him with a smile, and then opened his mouth to say.

"Believe it or not, it is not you and me, but the facts, if you don't believe it, father, you can follow your sons, go to the palace to try, and your sons can order people to make a waterwheel, and then, let you see it with your own eyes!"

"Okay, I'm really interested, I'll follow you kid and go outside the palace to have a look!"

Winning politics is a way to win without thinking.

In his opinion, all this, if it can be successful.

That's probably a good thing.

What's more, there is nothing to be done about it anyway.

It's better to follow this kid and take a look casually.

If it doesn't work, then I'll talk about it later.

If it works, then implement it immediately in the Kanto.

In this way, the drought in Kanto can be solved!

At the same time, Ying Changsheng is right about this matter.

Very important.

The reason is simple.

This year is the 36th year of the First Emperor.

In other words, next year will be the year when the Dune Rebellion broke out.

History, it was also this year that the first emperor died.

Immediately, the whole world was reversed.

In this regard, Win Changsheng, who came from later generations, simply don't remember it too clearly.

Because, almost all of this kind of historical events are recorded in the history books.

But anyone who has gone through nine years of compulsory education will probably know it.

Right now, Win Changsheng probably understands why, in history, after the death of Win Zheng.

Kanto rebelled instantly.

In the past, he thought that it was because of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who instigated the people to rebel among the people.

Now it seems that, probably, the reason is not because of this.

After all, there is a great drought in Kanto now.

What does the drought mean?

The great drought meant that there was no rain on the land of the Kanto region.

And there is no rain.

This means that food production is reduced.

Even, there is no harvest of grains!

Under such circumstances, all the grain was eaten.

It is inevitable that the people of the world will start the rebellion mode next year.

Then, the Great Qin Empire was put to an end.

Now, whether this great drought in the eastern part of the country can be managed or not is related to the current national fortunes of the Great Qin Empire.

Win longevity, don't dare to slack off.

In a hurry, he went to Shaofu, found a group of craftsmen, and then ordered them to build a waterwheel.

The technical content of the waterwheel is not too high.

Because, it's nothing more than a wooden structure.

Wooden structure of things.

Exquisite carved wood carvings can be produced by Chinese craftsmen.

What's more, it's a stupid black and coarse waterwheel?

This thing is nothing more than a matter of thinking.

Just like in the 19th century, the cannons in Napoleon's army were also cast in bronze.

And bronze technology, in the current Daqin.

It has already been invented.

The big tripod made is much more refined than the cannon.

And the materials needed for black powder, sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, these three things have long been mined by people in Daqin.

However, in the current era, no one thinks of gunpowder or casting cannons.

This is undoubtedly because the current people of Daqin, limited by their thinking, cannot imagine this thing.

As long as they think of it, they can make it at any time!

At this moment, when Ying Changsheng finished talking about the production principle of the waterwheel and its methods.

The public transport that had just returned from the Lishan construction site was instantly brightened.

Realizing that he was making a machine that was enough to benefit the country and the people and change the drought pattern in the Kanto region, he immediately instructed the skilled craftsmen of Shaofu to make a waterwheel.

Only an hour or two passed.

Under the division of labor and collaboration of countless craftsmen.

The first waterwheel of the Great Qin Empire was successfully produced.

It was placed in the open space of Shaofu.

At this moment, Ying Changsheng looked at the waterwheel in front of him.

Probably the same as the one in his mind and the drawings in his mind, and the ancient irrigation tools he had seen in some water towns and villages in the south in his later life, he nodded with satisfaction, and then opened his mouth to say.

"This waterwheel, it's really good, hurry up and transport this thing out of the city, and then test it!"

"No!"

Gong Yi Shangzao hurriedly said.

And Win Changsheng said to those busy craftsmen again.

"Let them also pass, if there is any problem, improve it in time, Father, and the civil and military officials, they will all go over at that time, and see if this thing can run successfully!"

"The emperor also passed?"

The craftsmen on the side, the boss with staring eyes, looked at Ying Changsheng in front of him incredulously.

"Of course!"

Win Changsheng bowed his head at them.

On the side, the craftsmen instantly became excited.

You must know that it is not an easy task to meet the emperor.

In the future, it will be very difficult to meet the leaders, let alone the present.

At this moment, the craftsmen are extremely excited.

Because, if you say anything else, as long as you can see the emperor.
