Chapter 250: Huang Yueying's Emotions
Huang Yueying pursed her lips, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by the wooden shelf on the other side.
A wooden shelf spans a creek with an upright circular wooden disc sandwiched above it.
On the edge of the thick round wooden disc is a bucket divided by a baffle and a scraper.
As the stream flowed, the disc rotated and the bucket filled with water was lifted.
When it reached its highest point, the scraper slid and tilted the water to the side of the aqueduct.
The water flows down the aqueduct to the irrigated fields.
"This ...... It's too ingenious, isn't it? ”
Huang Yueying exclaimed.
As a person who loves mechanical arts, she can see the magic of this wooden frame at a glance.
With it, it not only saves manpower and material resources, but also can easily irrigate the farmland, which is simply a double win.
Hua Xiong followed Huang Yueying's gaze, and then laughed,
"It's called a waterwheel, and it's a tool for irrigation."
Huang Yueying glanced at him and couldn't help asking,
"Could it be that you also invented this waterwheel?"
"Yes, I invented it too." Hua Xiong smiled casually, "I see that the people are working hard to irrigate the farmland, so I invented this waterwheel." ”
At this time, Huang Yueying was completely speechless.
She used to boast that she was good at mechanisms, but when she saw Hua Xiong today, she realized how ignorant she was.
Not to mention that Hua Xiong can recognize the wooden ox and flowing horse, just the curved plow and the waterwheel are enough to make her ashamed.
At this moment, the farmers who were cultivating not far away suddenly dropped their farming tools and swarmed towards this side.
Seeing this scene, Huang Yueying was shocked.
What's going on?
Could it be that they are going to rebel?
She looked at Hua Xiong next to her, but found that he, Zhou Cang and the others had calm expressions and did not have the slightest sense of panic.
The farmers who gathered were stopped by Zhang Xiu's soldiers.
They shouted,
"We want to see King Wei!"
"King Wei, we have something to say!"
Zhang Xiu cast a asking glance at Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong bowed slightly,
"Let them come."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhang Xiu ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and dozens of farmers came up one after another.
When they came to Huaxiong, they "pounced" and knelt down.
For a while, there was a crowd kneeling in front of the driver.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing here?"
Hua Xiong hurriedly got out of the car and helped them all up.
"King Wei, this is the only way we can express our gratitude to you."
A gray-haired old man, emotionally authentic,
"After you came to Wancheng, not only were you exempted from paying taxes for three years, but even the taxes for the next few years were reduced.
We are now provided with a variety of farming tools for free, and we are really impressed. ”
Another farmer next to him was also moved.
"In addition, those little cubs in my family are also studying in the school you opened for free, you are simply a good person!"
"King Wei is benevolent!"
"King Wei Chitose!"
They chanted slogans, and they were about to kneel down to Huaxiong again.
Hua Xiong hurriedly supported them again, chuckling and communicating with them.
Looking at Hua Xiong, who was surrounded by a group of farmers and stars holding the moon in the middle, Huang Yueying suddenly touched the softest place in her heart.
On the battlefield, he is superb in martial arts and good at strategy.
Under the battlefield, he cared about agriculture, loved the people like a son, and was good at mechanical skills.
But why is he so squinting?
Huang Yueying was stunned in place, not knowing for a while which one was the real Huaxiong.
Zhou Cang on the side stepped forward and whispered,
"Miss Huang, our father-in-law is the best man in the world, don't miss him."
Huang Yueying's face turned red, but she didn't say anything to object.
After Hua Xiong pacified the farmers, he continued his journey.
After inspecting all the farmland around Wancheng all the way, he returned to Wancheng Houfu.
"Zhang Xiu, Nanyang County is thriving under your management. You did a good job and didn't disappoint me. ”
Hua Xiong praised.
From Huaxiong stepping into the Nanyang County area, to inspecting the surrounding area of Wancheng today.
The sights and experiences along the way made Hua Xiong appreciate Zhang Xiu's ability more and more.
"It's all a blessing to the lord."
Zhang Xiu smiled modestly.
"You're a good ass." Hua Xiong laughed.
The crowd chatted for a while.
Zhang Xiu suddenly patted her head, as if she remembered something.
"Lord, I have something I want to report to you."
"Oh? What is it? ”
"In recent days, in the area around Wancheng, a group of people claiming to be members of the Maitreya Sect suddenly appeared, spreading the teachings vigorously.
In the nearby villages of ten miles and eight villages, many people have already trusted them. ”
Hua Xiong was stunned.
Maitreya?
Didn't this thing appear hundreds of years later, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties?
Why is it possible to start spreading the doctrine now?
"My subordinates don't know what to do with this Maitreya Sect, and I hope for the lord's instructions."
As a time-traveling person, Hua Xiong naturally knows that religion has advantages but also harms.
Let's not talk about the past and the future, just talk about the recent Taiping Taoism.
The three Zhang Jiao brothers relied on Taiping Taoism to develop hundreds of thousands of believers, although they did not overthrow the imperial court, but they also divided the Han Dynasty, and the princes rose together.
It can be said that the fall of the Han Dynasty was due to the contribution of Taiping Taoism.
"Do you know anything about Maitreya?"
Hua Xiong asked.
"I don't know much. The church is strictly administered and it is difficult to obtain information.
But according to his subordinates, it has at least 1,000 followers.
This is a dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates. ”
Zhang Xiu blushed a little.
"It's no wonder you, you also said that this Maitreya Sect is strictly managed."
Hua Xiong comforted.
He touched his chin and fell into thought.
Since there are already thousands of believers, if you want to win it, it will be really difficult for a while.
If it's not good, it will be a river of blood.
Most Christians are ignorant people.
Hua Xiong is still a little unable to do it.
He pondered for a moment and said softly
"In that case, I'll take care of this matter."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed,
"Since the lord has intervened, then the Maitreya Sect is not far from extinction!"
Hua Xiong talked with Zhang Xiu for a while, then got up and left with Huang Yueying.
Zhou Cang stayed in the lobby with great interest, creating opportunities for the two of them.
Hua Xiong kept sending Huang Yueying to her residence, but she was silent.
"What's the matter, Miss Yueying, could it be that you are really fascinated by me?"
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
Huang Yueying glanced up at him, but it was rare that she didn't quarrel with him.
Hua Xiong couldn't help but be stunned.
Obediently, this Huang Yueying really likes me?
Immediately, he felt a little happy in his heart, and it seemed that his brother's charm was still great.
Thinking of this, Hua Xiong decided to strike while the iron was hot.
He coughed lightly and laughed,
"Sister Yueying, if you are interested, how about you come with me tomorrow to take a look at the Maitreya Sect?"
