Chapter 116: Waterwheel

Out of the confines of the palace.

The boiling voices reached the ears, and there was still a clear gap between the rich and the poor in the center of the city......

The crowds of people coming and going around, shouting small merchants and hawkers, such a lively and peaceful scene, as if the shadow of the recent war has faded.

Li Xian, who is dressed in armor, will inevitably attract the attention of passers-by along the way, after all, it is rare to see such a tall and strong soldier.

Freshly reeled buns. ”

"Ravioli...... Delicious ravioli. ”

The aromas of various delicacies rush to the nose.

The little sixth son who followed Li Xian returned to his usual hippie smiling face, involuntarily shrugged his nose and touched his belly, which was filled with top-notch delicacies.

'I'll bring you to eat next time!' Don't be picky. He thought.

Use the power of the mind to give yourself an aura of fear, so that the pedestrians in front of you will always take the initiative to avoid and let the two pass.

As he walked, Li Xian seemed to have thought of something and asked Xiao Liuzi:

By the way, has there been no news about Wang Yuanwai in the past two days? ”

Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment and began to think about it seriously.

"Huh......"

sighed lightly and replied in surprise:

Yes, Brother Li, since Wang Yuanwai left the palace, no one in the whole field has discussed this matter again. ”

Li Xian nodded.

It seems...... The old fox is right. ’

Indeed, as Wang Jinglin said, they are the root system rooted in this land, for the Wang family, the mountain character camp or the county lord who came to serve may be a big tree, but the big tree will fall down one day, and the new big tree must rely on the root system to thrive, for the people of the wilderness they are ants under the root system, and they can't live without this shelter, in their eyes, the Wang family is the 'heaven and earth' that is bigger than the 'big tree'.

Criticism is likely to provoke death, and it should be forgotten, and the people know this very well.

At this moment,

Distant shouts disrupted thoughts, and the crowd in front of them began to avoid.

A huge carriage passed by,

The streets in the center of the city are also extremely spacious, according to Li Xian's estimate, at least five zhang wide, this carriage actually occupies half of it, and it is even more luxurious and huge than the carriage that Steward Han came to pick up.

Xiao Liuzi seemed to recognize the origin of the carriage, and took the initiative to tell Li Xian: "Brother Li...... This is the carriage of Hanfu. ”

'Hanfu?'

Li Xian thought about it slightly, and immediately reacted.

The four major families, now the Han Mansion with the first strength, no wonder!

A small episode passed.

Back at the county office, Li Xian and Xiao Liuzi just walked in for a while when they heard shouts behind them.

Turning around, he saw Situ Leopard leading a Mo family disciple running in with an excited expression...... As soon as he wanted to ask the guards guarding the door, the disciples of the Mo family saw Li Xian and the two of them directly abandon the soldiers, and ran to Li Xian's side almost instantly.

The Mo family disciple hurriedly hugged his fists and said:

"The strange thing you told the teacher that day has already been made...... The teacher specially asked me to come and call you, let's hurry up. β€œ

"Yes!

Then we'll go now. ”

Li Xian had a smile on his face when he heard this, and turned back to Xiao Liuzi and instructed:

"Little Liuzi, the rest of the affairs of the government will be left to you and a few other chiefs to complete. ”

"Tun Chief, don't worry!"

Situ Bao also hurriedly ran over, his eyes were full of joy, and he pulled Li Xian's arm and said:

There are fast horses outside...... You go straight to the horse. ”

Li Xian didn't reply, he hugged his fists heavily, and ran out with the Mo family disciples.

Situ Leopard watched the two of them go away...... The smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and a thick black beard shook with a smile.

glanced at Xiao Liuzi and laughed:

From now on, you will be on the rise. ”

Xiao Liuzi blinked and grabbed his hair...... didn't understand, but his face immediately showed joy, after all, Situ Bao is Brother Li's direct boss, and what he said should not be false.

Today is a good day...... It's a pity that it was my turn to be on duty, otherwise I would have gone for two whole drinks. ”

Situ Leopard muttered a few words, patted the armor on his stomach and left.

Xiao Liuzi was left alone and froze in place, for a long time...... Suddenly slapped himself on the thigh:

"I have to tell Da Zhuang and Lao Chen the news!"

Drivingβ€”β€”

Li Xian followed the disciples of the Mo family all the way to the south of the city on a fast horse.

From a distance, you can see a group of people around Xiaohe, even Cui Sheng is among them, and there are bursts of cheers.

approached, immediately "huh-" sound, turned over and dismounted.

Before he got closer, the accompanying Mo family disciples shouted loudly:

"Our heroes are coming......"

Here comes the hero. ”

Here comes the hero. ”

Everyone's faces were excited, and Cui Sheng looked at Li Xian with an appreciative look in his eyes.

Qin Lao's voice came out from behind the crowd.

Tun Chang came over and looked. ”

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Qin Lao stood in the water in a short shirt and shouted at Li Xian.

What catches your eye is a wooden bracket more than a foot high, standing by the river, deeply rooted in the soil, the object on the bracket resembles a large thickened wheel, standing up to the height of a man, and the wheel is supported by a five-meter-long axle supporting twenty-four wooden spokes, which spread out in a radial pattern, and the top of each spoke carries a scraper and bucket.

The river rushes, under the impact of the hydraulic force, as if it has life, by the inertia of the movement of the water potential slowly rotates the spokes, scrapers scrape the water, the bucket is filled with water, and the bucket is filled with river water and is lifted up step by step. At the top, the bucket slopes naturally, pumping water into the aqueduct and into the irrigated farmland.

Qin Lao stepped ashore in a few steps, looked at Li Xian again, and bowed solemnly.

Li Xian was so frightened that he hurriedly took a step to hold Qin Lao's hands, did not let him salute, and hurriedly said:

"Elder Qin, how can the younger generation stand your gift, don't do it, don't dare to be it, don't dare to be it. ”

I was about to use a little strength to help Qin Lao up, but he found that his hands were as unshakable as Mount Tai, looking at Qin Lao's eyes, Li Xian was stunned.

This salute does not mean that I am alone! It is a salute for the hundreds of millions of people who are suffering in the world, and the popularization of the waterwheel will surely benefit many people!"

At this point,

Many of the Mo disciples behind Old Qin saluted Li Xian at the same time.

Thank you for all the people. ”

Thank you for all the people. ”

Thank you for all the people. ”

Li Xian was completely stunned...... There was an indescribable feeling in his heart that something had been changed by this group of simple and lovely people! Looking around, there were even some peasants in the distance who saw the waterwheel, pointed at him, and then followed the crowd to give him a look.

Suddenly, he wanted to create some simple and practical things from his previous life and bring them to the people of this world.

After Qin Laozuo finished speaking, he stepped forward and patted Li Xian's shoulder heavily, the folds on his face were full of laughter, and said:

When you told me about it, I knew it was going to work! ”

"Chief, you see that this thing came up with you, so you can give it a name. ”

Li Xian subconsciously replied: "Let's call it a waterwheel." ”

"Watermill ......" Qin Lao muttered twice, and then smiled heartily:

Good name!

I, a carpenter, have been working for decades, and I have been thinking about how to better create better well-being for the people, but I can't think of the simplest and most beneficial to the people, but I haven't made a few of them...... I'm ashamed. β€œ

Li Xian replied: "Elder Qin doesn't have to be like this, in fact, it is because there are people like you...... The lives of the people will get better little by little. ”

So that the world does not seem so cold and cruel. He thought.

Then he said: "Actually, the waterwheel is like window paper, and it will break when you poke it. ”

Qin Lao looked at Li Xian seriously and nodded.

"Yes, the appearance of some things is obviously separated by a window paper, but it sometimes takes hundreds or thousands of years for such thin window paper to be pierced. ”

The Mo family is good at the art of mechanism construction, and naturally he is no exception, the power of flowing water has actually been used by the Mo family for a long time, but in the past, the direction of use was mostly war.

After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Xian to answer, and walked to the shore again to look at the waterwheel.

Under the washing of the river, it begins to rotate clockwise, and makes a rattling sound, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

To be honest, Li Xian himself didn't expect that the influence of this matter would be so great, that day he saw an old man on the city wall holding an urn full of water and walking back step by step, he thought of the waterwheel he saw in the countryside when he was a child.

For ordinary paddy field irrigation, a small dirt channel is usually dug to allow the river water to flow into the farmland. The war has caused the farmland to suffer, many crops have been trampled down, and the dug dirt roads have also been destroyed, so the old man will hold the urn to get water that day.

Qin Lao happily looked at the waterwheel made by himself, and his eyes flashed with a light that no one could tell.

That's what we're looking for." He thought.

His sons stood behind him...... The expression is also excited, this is the waterwheel they made with the teacher, experimented for several days, started from a small age, and finally made this waterwheel ten meters high.

One by one, the wooden, dull wood came back to life under the action of their axes, saws, and chiselings.

Cui Sheng paced to Li Xian's side, side by side with him, showing a gentle smile, and exclaimed:

Unexpected...... Li Tunchang gave me many unexpected surprises. ”

Li Xian hurriedly clenched his fists: "My subordinates don't dare to be." ”

"Chief Li Tun's name will soon be known to the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and even Your Majesty will know your name. ”

Cui Sheng clenched his hands into fists, gestured to the sky, and then said:

Let it go in the wilderness and let me see how far the people that the teacher values can go. ”

'Teacher?'

'Lu Guangxin is Cui Sheng's teacher?'

Although Li Xian at this time didn't understand what Cui Sheng's words meant, whether there were any other subtexts. Is it his approval, or do you want to let go of your rights and see how far you can go in the end?

Let's be honest...... Li Xian couldn't think of so much in a short moment, and one thing he understood was that his top boss was going to open the back door for himself.

The subordinates will definitely not let the general down. β€œ

Cui Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "Come with me." ”

The two walked to Qin Lao's side.

Cui Sheng took the initiative to ask: "Old Qin, look at how many acres of farmland can be irrigated by the waterwheel." ”

When he mentioned this, Old Qin looked excited, and replied directly: "General Cui...... Generally, large waterwheels can irrigate 6 or 700 acres of farmland, and small ones can also irrigate 1 or 200 acres. And save labor, labor, and money, if it is fully popularized, it is absolutely beyond imagination!

"The entire Great Jin Dynasty has countless rivers and streams, relying on the benefits of the waterwheel, and the Great Jin Dynasty does not know how many people will be blessed because of this. β€œ

"Yes......"

Cui Sheng sighed with emotion, as if he had seen Youzhou...... There is a waterwheel next to every village and farmland in the Great Jin Dynasty, which irrigates the farmland with the roar of the water.

Qin Lao laughed twice and raised his gray eyebrows.

The benefits of the waterwheel are far more than what is in front of you, when manpower is finally exhausted, but this river does not, the water does not stop, the wheels do not stop, day and night! ”

As an old craftsman, Qin Lao has already drawn inferences, and countless whimsical ideas in his mind collided with sparks, and the whole person seemed to glow with a second spring.

He's a man who can't settle down...... Now that this waterwheel has been created, the top priority is to return to the headquarters of the Mo family in Youzhou, and use the secret method to contact the contemporary Mozi, as long as this thing is made in the gods, with the character of the prince Ji Yunxiao, he will definitely approve of this kind of thing that is beneficial to the people, and then popularize it to the land of Shenzhou as soon as possible.

Right!

I also have to contact the Mojia headquarters in various states to teach all the Mo family disciples the method of making all waterwheels, and many Mo family disciples are officials at the grassroots level of the Great Jin Dynasty, so that the speed of popularization will be faster.

Thinking of the wonders, Qin Lao couldn't help but slap his palms heavily and roared.

"Niu Dabao!"

"Master, I'm here. ”

A thin-faced man of medium stature ran out of the crowd and came to Qin Lao.

"Go ......"

"Huh?"

The disciple asked suspiciously, "What is the teacher leaving?"

"Ouch-" The stupid disciple was smacked.

Qin Lao roared menacingly: "Of course, it's back to Youzhou!"

The disciple was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted...... directly greeted the other brothers and sisters to prepare to leave the wilderness and return to Youzhou. They came in a hurry without any luggage, and now, of course, they are leaving in great style.

Old Qin turned his head to look at Li Xian and said:

"Chief Li Tun, the old man is going back to Youzhou now! I was going to have a good chat with you, but now I'm afraid it won't work. β€œ

After pondering for a while, he took out an ink-colored jade pendant from his arms, which flashed faintly with luster.

This is a token of the Mo family, with this you are a friend of the Mo family, there are children of the Mo family in the Great Jin Dynasty and small counties, and in the future, where Li Tunchang needs help, you can go to seek help from the disciples of the Mo family. ”

As long as it is not a matter of endangering the people, generally you can basically respond to your needs when you come to take this token. ”

"This ......" Li Xian hesitated.

Syllable!

Qin Lao patted Li Xian's shoulder heavily.

"Shhh

The person who dislikes mother-in-law the most...... Alright, the old man is gone!"

"Chief Li Tun, the old man is looking forward to our next meeting. ”

Qin Lao took a few strides and directly turned over and sat on a horse beast.

"Go ......"

The old man galloped with more than a dozen disciples and disappeared from sight.

Cui Sheng, who was watching from the sidelines throughout the whole process, had a smile on his face all the time, and said with emotion:

Qin Lao ...... has really been a fiery personality all his life, and he hasn't changed at all. β€œ

Li Xian mobilized his qi and blood to move slightly, and the sour numbness gradually subsided, holding the ink-colored jade pendant and looking back and forth in his hand.

"Li Xian!"

"The subordinates are here. ”

Cui Sheng raised a gentle smile on his face, nodded, and turned to leave.

Seeing Cui Sheng go away under the escort of a group of soldiers.

Whew-

Li Xian exhaled heavily...... Hold the jade pendant tightly in the palm of your hand.

At this point,

In the distance, a young man in khaki clothes walked straight up to Li Xian and respectfully hugged his fists.

Li Tun Chang...... In the Lower Light Sect, the head of my family has set up a banquet and wants to invite you to talk. ”
