Chapter 15 Intelligent Farmland
When Sunan Ge saw Li Ke coming, there were stars in his eyes.
Before he knew it, he leaned over to Li Ke's side.
"Didn't the king's guards say you're busy? How did it appear here again! Sunan Ge asked, the smile in his eyes overflowing.
Li Ke didn't notice Sunan Ge's expression when he looked at him, and said, "There is nothing more important than accompanying all the distinguished guests. ”
Everyone knew that Li Ke was saying this for everyone, but only Su Nange thought that it was just for her.
Keep rubbing the corners of your clothes.
Why doesn't this Su girl look normal, but no matter where you are, as long as you dare to stop me from making money, don't blame me for being unkind.
Li Ke took Li Jing and his party and walked slowly out of the city.
Along the way, I saw a lot of caravans heading for the city, and many of them had just come out of the city.
Li Jing didn't talk much along the way, and kept observing the things around him.
And Sunan Ge's attention was all on Li Ke.
"Lord Wang, what is the bicycle that the Wang guard said just now?" Sunan Song is full of anticipation.
"That's it! It's similar to the function of a horse-drawn carriage, but it's more convenient and faster, and it also has a disadvantage, that is, the carriage can hold things, but the bicycle can't hold anything. Li Ke explained.
Sunan Ge then asked: "Wang Weiwei said that if you want to ride a bicycle, you have to learn it first, if you want to learn, can you teach me?" ”
This girl didn't have this attitude towards me before! What are you doing again?
"Okay!"
"Then I'll thank you so much, that's right! In the past, I heard that the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky. How did the prince build these roads? ”
"Why don't you put one outside that train too?"
"Why do you have so many delicious foods here, I haven't even seen these vegetables, and I don't know what those red things that an old man brought over just now?"
“……”
What is this new pathway? Want to exhaust me? Or do you want to make a fool of me? What a hundred thousand whys for you!
Li Ke was really tired, so he gave Wang a look.
Wang Meng immediately understood what Li Ke meant.
"Miss Su, do you want to drink saliva, you should be thirsty after walking for so long." Wang Meng took out the kettle and said.
"Thank you, I'm not thirsty, lord, you kettle......"
Along the way, Sunan Ge was like a little fan, pestering Li Ke and asking non-stop.
Li Jing silently observed everything around him, and after about a stick of incense, Li Jing and his party finally arrived outside the city.
The farmland here is scattered and high, so take a closer look.
Almost every piece of the highest farmland has bamboo tubes in it.
Li Jing was puzzled and asked, "What is the use of this bamboo tube?" ”
"Master Wang, you come with me."
Li Ke took Li Jing and approached the bamboo tube and gently placed his hand on the end of the bamboo tube connecting the farmland.
Li Jing felt water flowing out of the bamboo tube. Only then did I realize that this bamboo tube was used for irrigation.
"The wisdom of the prince is really unparalleled, and the fields in such a place can also be irrigated, which is really wonderful!" Li Jing praised sincerely.
Li Ke stood up and said, "Elder Wang, you have praised it falsely. ”
Li Jing: "But I have a question, how did this water flow to such a high place?" I see that there must be no water in the vicinity. ”
"Master Wang, this is a point. We'll see when we go down. Not every farmland in Yizhou City is as high or low as this, most of them are flat, and this is just an extreme example. However, this flat farmland is also irrigated in this way. Li Ke said and helped Li Jing to go down.
Walking down the pipes made of these bamboo tubes, Li Jing found that there was still wheat planted!
It stands to reason that wheat is only grown in the north, but I didn't expect that Shu can grow wheat in the southwest.
The crowd then walked on, passing a place full of strange melons and fruits.
Sunan Ge recognized it at once, and one of them was the variety in the old man's basket before.
Excitedly asked, "What is this called?" ”
Li Ke: "This is called a potato, which was introduced from Persia by a merchant sent by Xiao Wang, and the field next to you is sweet potatoes, and we had these vegetables in our rice before." Most of the fruits and vegetables here are melons, fruits and vegetables. ”
Li Jing looked at these never-before-seen crops and couldn't help but have an idea.
Tentatively asked, "Lord Wang, can these crops grow if they are transplanted to other places?" ”
Li Ke opened his fan, shook it gently, and said.
"Honestly! I really can't guarantee this, but Master Wang can take it out to give it a try, maybe he will be fed, and then Xiao Wang will give you the seeds and planting methods, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”
"Where is this, if your crops can be promoted, it will be a good thing for the benefit of the whole landscape!"
Li Jing said and continued to move forward with the support of Gonggong Gui.
The crowd walked through this large vegetable patch, and at the end of the road, they found a lake.
There's something like a windmill spinning on the lake.
Li Jing brushed the sweat from his forehead, exhaled, and asked, "Lord Wang, is this the trick that water can irrigate farmland?" ”
Li Ke nodded, the fan kept fanning, and he was also sweating profusely, and replied: "This place is called Qianweiyan, which is a relatively large water source nearby, and the farmland we saw just now rely on this water for irrigation. Because of the topography here, it is windy all year round, and this windmill waterwheel does not require manpower, and this waterwheel will automatically transport water to the designated farmland. Therefore, it saves the time of the people to carry water for irrigation. On weekdays, you only need to fertilize and weed in the morning, and when Master Wang came into the city, it was in the afternoon, so he couldn't see the people working. It's not that the people of my Shu are lazy! ”
Li Jing took the handkerchief handed over by Gonggong Gui, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, the prince smiled, the old man didn't mean this, the people of Shu are fortunate to have a prince like you who thinks they are considered everywhere." ”
Sunan Ge on the side was already tired, and Li Ke instructed Wang Meng to hand her the kettle he was carrying.
Taking the kettle, Sunan Ge drank violently, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
After drinking the water, Sunan Ge came back to life full of blood, and began to follow Li Ke again, asking questions and questions.
I can't wait to ask why ants are called ants.
After resting for a while, they planned to go back.
As soon as he looked up, Li Jing saw a mine not far away.
This mine was also within Li Jing's mark, and he immediately gave Gonggong Gui a look.
Motioned to him that he wanted to see the mine.
