Liu Jian and his three Wang Prefecture pastors discussed the next step in the development of Tuntian, while Zhao Yun led Chu Yan to look near Zhangshui along the Longdao next to the wheat field.

Walking in the fields, they saw from afar that there were many more water conservancy facilities on the tributaries of Zhangshui, and some officials who had just been promoted by Liu Jian were personally supervising the construction of water conservancy.

The people of the Han Dynasty farmed, because they had not been intensively cultivated, and there were no crops two crops a year, most of them were harvested once a year, so irrigation became particularly important for this ripeness.

The hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in the Tuntian pilot project in Wei County will be ripe in the harvest season, and it will be much smoother for the promotion of the tuntian in the counties in the future.

Now it is catching up with many local noble families and Hanmen Shu people who are very supportive of Liu Jian's policy, so Liu Jian took the opportunity to launch the concept of building water conservancy and irrigation and shared it with everyone.

Liu Jian should gradually promote major projects related to people's livelihood such as repairing water wheels, mills, and forging mills, and the projects are not only conducive to the people's livelihood of the government and government, but also have many benefits for major families.

For example, irrigation and agriculture can not only increase the harvest per mu of the pilot field, but also the Shijia Wang clan and the Hanmen Shu clan also have a lot of land in Hebei, and it is also very beneficial for them to irrigate and govern agriculture.

Therefore, at present, the construction of water conservancy in Jizhou is carried out by the government and all ethnic groups at the same time.

Zhao Yun led Chu Yan to walk along the Zhangshui in the fields, and said as he walked: "Brother Chu, have you seen the big structure of the waterwheel?" This thing is called the overturned car, Liu Zhijun called it the keel waterwheel, made of wooden planks into a long trough, and dozens of wiper boards of the same width as the wooden trough are placed in the trough, which is supervised and improved by Liu Zhijun himself, and it has become what it is now. ”

"Compared with the traditional wheeled water wheel, the hydraulic impulse of this thing is much larger, and it can be adjusted, when you need to draw more water, add a few more sections in the middle, and remove a few sections when you draw less water,"

"The old watermill was made to die, and it couldn't be adjusted. In this way, when the rain is abundant, it will be watered less, and when the rainwater is insufficient, it will be watered more, as long as more ditches are dug and each canal is equipped with one, the people here almost do not need manpower to irrigate. ”

Chu Yan, who was born in the township, had a strong interest in the water wheel, he stood in front of the water wheel, carefully looking at the strange things in front of him.

Although she doesn't understand the specific mechanical principles, Chu Yan can still see the general function.

He stood in place for a long time, and said with emotion: "I don't want to, this new Liu Envoy Jun is still a capable official." ”

Zhao Yun walked to Chu Yan's side and said: "It's not just a rollover, now the envoy is discussing with the gentlemen, wanting to make a waterwheel suitable for the Yellow River Basin, and there is also a kind of cylinder car, although it has not been successful, but the workshop in Yecheng has already made the model out of the dates, just waiting for the trial in the next few days." ”

Chu Yan was modest, and then looked at Zhao Yun and asked him.

Zhao Yun roughly explained to him the efficacy and principles of some Yellow River waterwheels and cylinder cars.

The basic situation was also heard by him from Liu Jian, so he could only reluctantly explain it to Chu Yan.

He only knows that the Yellow River waterwheel is the irrigation waterwheel that uses the natural impact of the Yellow River water flow, the end of the spoke is equipped with a scraper, and the rectangular bucket with equidistant oblique hanging is installed between the scrapers, the waterwheel stands on the bank of the Yellow River, the natural water flow is used to boost the rotation in the peak water season, and the water is diverted and gathered by the cofferdam in the dry season, through the small channel between the weirs, the river water is boosted by artesianism, when the water flow impulses the wheel blade, the waterwheel is pushed to rotate, and the bucket is scooped up with river water, and then poured into the wooden trough after turning to the headspace, and flows into the garden in a steady stream to facilitate irrigation.

The cylinder car is driven by water power, and a water wheel is built at the turbulent place of the water flow, the bottom of the water wheel is submerged in the water, the top exceeds the river bank, and a number of bamboo tubes are tied obliquely on the wheel. When the water flows to the top of the wheel, the bamboo tube takes water from the current and follows the water wheel to the top of the wheel, and the water is automatically poured into the wooden trough, and finally flows into the field.

Chu Yan didn't understand it very well, but when Zhao Yun explained to Liu Jian about these irrigation facilities that were about to be popularized among the people of Jizhou, the excitement on his face could also infect him to some extent.

However, in Chu Yan's ears, this kind of mysterious and mysterious things, the cost and labor should be very expensive, if you really want to vigorously promote these things in Hebei, but I don't know how much money it will cost.

But in fact, the cost is not high, and the main reason for the use of money is the loss of tools and materials, as for wood and labor, it is easy to say.

The temporary low-cost conscription is now just over after the Yellow Turban, and many homeless people can use it, as long as they give the homeless Li Shu a bite to eat, someone will be willing to work.

Although in the short term, the income of the people will be less temporarily, but once the basic agricultural facilities are fixed, the life of the people in Jizhou will gradually get better and better in the future.

After all, Jizhou was originally a state with a very deep heritage in the Han Dynasty, and it was originally the granary center of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jian believes that as long as the relationship here is smoothed out, it will not be difficult for the government to unify and control Jizhou into a rich place beyond the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

…

"With such a large amount of construction, this Liu Yuanjun is really bold."

Chu Yan looked at the row of the largest waterwheels and said with emotion.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "It's a pity that Liu Yuanjun couldn't govern in Jizhou a few years earlier, if Envoy Jun was here, I'm afraid that the Zhangjiao Moth thief would not be rampant so far, causing chaos in Bazhou." ”

Chu Yan squinted at Zhao Yun and asked, "I didn't expect that your Zhao family brother has a lot of respect for this Liu envoy... By the way, I don't know where your brother Zhao Jun is now? I haven't seen him in years! ”

Zhao Yun's face darkened slightly, and then he roughly told Chu Yan what happened to Zhao Yun and the Zhao family.

Although Chu Yan is a thief, he is also a hero, and he is young, so he always has a bit of blood and chivalry in his heart.

When listening to Zhao Yun say that Liu Jian wiped out the Zhending County Order and the three wealthy families who defrauded the county and the country, Rao is Chu Yan couldn't help but slap his palms heavily and shouted:

"Although this Liu envoy has a high status, he is not polluted with power, he is dedicated to the people, fair and strict, and has clear rewards and punishments...... Righteousness! ”

Zhao Yun also nodded, and said: "Although my brother was sent to Liaodong by Liu Yuanjun, I have never blamed the envoy, on the contrary, I am very grateful, my brother is guilty, and he has to bear the responsibility, if he has the opportunity to be released in the future, my Zhao family brother will serve the envoy to death, and he will have no regrets." ”

Chu Yan nodded with emotion, and then saw him reach out and pat Zhao Yun's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

The friendship between fellow villagers is the heaviest, even if Chu Yan was captured alive by Zhao Yunsheng this time, but he did not resent it in his heart, after all, his own skills were not as good as others, no wonder others.

Moreover, Zhao Yun does have great respect for him, except for the confrontation on the battlefield, during this time, Zhao Yun has always called him "Brother Chu", which is exactly the same as when he was in Zhending Township in the past, and there is no suspicion of being a big one.

Subsequently, Chu Yan returned to Liu Jian with Zhao Yun.

At this time, Liu Jian had just finished discussing the agricultural affairs in the state with Tian Feng, Frustration, and the three of them, and when they saw Chu Yan coming back, they immediately smiled and said: "Chu Jun thinks that Liu, the pastor of Jizhou, is still competent?" ”

Chu Yan is a hero, who values righteousness, seeing what Liu Jian is doing for the displaced people in Hebei now, and at the same time hearing about the Zhao family, he naturally looks at him differently.

At least, in Chu Yan's eyes at this time, Liu Jian is different from others, he can at least be fair to every person under his jurisdiction, instead of dividing them into three, six, nine and so on, and treating them differently.

"Yan has been in Yecheng for these days, seeing what the envoy does for the people, knowing that the envoy is a person for the people, and it is a great blessing for Jizhou Li Shu to be able to make the monarch govern!"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "I can get Brother Chu's praise, Liu feels very comforted in my heart, which shows that my long-term efforts are not in vain...... In this case, in the coming day, I will ask Brother Chu to return to Montenegro. ”

Chu Yan was puzzled: "A certain family is a traitor, and the sin is heavy, so if you don't kill me, why do you want to let me go back to Montenegro?" Why, exactly? ”

Liu Jian said: "Although I have greatly revitalized the tuntian, revitalized agriculture, and stabilized the livelihood of the people of Hebei, but this is not an overnight effort, such as the gradual chaos today, the displaced people in Hebei will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment because of my tuntian, and they will all live and work in peace and contentment, which requires a process, and the Montenegrin army will not disappear in the short term, but I hope that there can be a heroic man who understands righteousness, understands human feelings, and sincerely thinks about the military and people of Montenegro to lead Montenegro, rather than those who take advantage of the momentum of Montenegro to do things for their own personal interests, Brother Chu may understand the meaning of Liu Jian's words? ”
