Chapter 356: Interdependence
In the sound of a tune, Tang Ba used a few leaves in his arms, blowing alternately, and rode back on a donkey.
"Tang Ba pays a visit to the King of the Great Dynasty!" Tang Ba took the leaves back into his arms, jumped off the donkey, and saluted Zhao Jinlong with his fists, "The king called me back, what else is there to urge?"
Zhao Jinlong sternly instructed Tang Ba: "That's the case, originally arranged for you to ask a carpenter to make a water wheel car, because it will take a long time to complete the water wheel car system, and the villagers under the mountain are anxious to use water to irrigate the rice, and they can't wait, so I temporarily decided to organize the soldiers on the mountain to bring water from several mountain springs on the mountain to their paddy fields." You first go and inform the villagers, and ask them to cooperate with us tomorrow, so that the ditch that connects their rice fields can be connected to the spring water on our mountain, and then the spring water on our mountain can be used to irrigate their rice. ”
"Follow the king's orders! Tang Ba will go and inform those villagers!" Tang Ba felt that this method was more reasonable, and he couldn't help but get on the horse and donkey and leave.
"You wait a minute! I haven't finished talking yet!" Zhao Jinlong stopped Tang Ba in time.
"What is a water wheel?" asked the White Conch Priestess curiously.
Lu Chahua hurriedly replied: "It is a kind of irrigation tool for carrying water, and it is found by the river near the order. The main body is a big runner, the runner is equipped with a big bamboo tube to scoop water, the runner is pushed and rotated by the flow of the river, and then when the big bamboo tube is turned up, the water is scooped up, and when it turns down, the water is poured into the ditch on the bank of the river, and the water flows away from the ditch, and the water from the river to the ditch can be used to irrigate various crops. ”
The White Snail Priestess smiled softly: "So that's the case." I just looked at the tool by the river from afar, and I didn't know what it was called, let alone what it was for. Now it's a long time to see. ”
Zhao Jinlong added: "Yes, with that kind of tool, it is very convenient. Even if the weather is dry, the river will not dry up lightly, and water can be carried to the river bank continuously on wheeled carts throughout the year. We first brought the spring water from the mountain to the villagers' paddy fields, and at the same time, we had to hire carpenters to make zuò water wheels, and after installing them, we could expand the irrigation area. ”
Tang Ba heard something. He asked Zhao Jinlong for confirmation and said, "What does the king mean is that I should first inform the villagers to bring water from the spring on the mountain for irrigation, and then I have to ask a carpenter to make a zuò water wheel?"
"That's it. In this way, you're not very stupid!" Zhao Jinlong praised Tang Ba, stretched out his finger and tapped the mud and dust stuck to Tang Ba's chest, "Look at it." Because there has been no rain for a long time. Dust is flying everywhere, and the dry mud and dust have become a weapon for the girl to teach you a lesson! Villagers who have been tormented by drought need us to do something for them quickly!"
Lu Cha asked with annoyance: "There is a great drought in the local area, and the local government doesn't care about the suffering of the people?"
Zhao Jinlong introduced Lu Chahua and said: "In fact, they are still in charge, but under the drought, they do not build water conservancy for the people, but according to the convention, when encountering various natural and man-made disasters." Taoist priests were invited to pray for the local people to ward off disasters. In the past, when Li Zhi County was serving in this county, he invited the chief of the wind control to ask for rain. At that time, it was raining, and I don't know if the rain was begged by the wind master, or if it happened to be raining, so it became the credit of the wind master asking for rain. After the meritorious service of the chief of the wind channel, Li Zhixian asked him to come over to chase and kill the chicken essence when he encountered the chicken essence in chaos, but because of that incident, I met Tao Gongzi who he brought to kill the demon and eliminate the demon, so as to become brothers with Tao Gongzi in the same year. ”
Lu Cha sighed softly: "Yes, no matter who does it right and who does it wrong, let us see the results." It's just that now your future is uncertain, and Tao Gongzi is already an important member of the imperial court. ”
"Brother Tao now, is it okay to be in the capital?" Zhao Jinlong asked Lu Chahua softly.
Referring to these, Lu Chahua's sentiment was a little better: "He's okay, he is the Zhan Shi of the Royal Zhan Mansion, the highest official of an official office, where he has the final say." ”
"What is Zhan Shifu?" Zhao Jinlong was unfamiliar with those official offices of the imperial court.
Lu Chahua earnestly told Zhao Jinlong: "Zhan Shifu, like the Hanlin Academy, the Zongren Mansion, and the Internal Affairs Mansion, is a big yamen of the imperial court, and Tao Gongzi is now in charge of the big yamen of the Zhan Shifu. ”
Zhao Jinlong nodded thoughtfully: "That's good, after all, none of our friends have suffered." ”
Tang Ba listened to everyone's talk and immediately asked to go on the road: "We know, Tao Gongzi is not suffering anymore, and the people are still suffering from drought today, my lord, I'll go on the road, let's do things early!"
Zhao Jinlong stretched out his hand and stopped Tang Ba: "You are active, this is worthy of recognition." You see this large cloud of mud and dust on your chest, which is the consequence of molesting the girl, so that you should first inform the villagers to lead the spring water from the mountain, we then rushed down, and we all saw the process. I want to remind you that don't flirt with girls anymore, we have to add a rule that no one in our rebel army is allowed to molest girls. ”
Tang Ba replied embarrassedly, "This is all for you to see, it's really disappointing." ”
Zhao Jinlong laughed at Tang Ba proudly: "Haha, I usually see you seriously, but I didn't expect you to be so bold in flirting with girls." ”
Tang Ba argued seriously: "Alas, let the king make fun of me, in fact, I have always been like that, in the face of the girl, I can't even speak well." These two girls are here for our rebels, so I have the opportunity to speak to them and show my love for the girl in front of me. If some girls who have nothing to do with us ignore me when they see me, I can't even say a word to such a girl. ”
The goddess of Bailuo explained to Lu Chahua: "Your words and deeds can't show your love for the girl, that is blasphemy against Miss Lu. Your words and deeds like that are purely scolding. ”
Zhao Jinlong solemnly said to Tang Ba: "The military adviser came back and said that the government could not fully absorb us, and the government wanted most of the rebel army to disband and go home. I now think that in the rebel army, it is rare for you to marry a wife, you have that heart, after today's work, go home, marry a wife and have children at home, it is better than in the rebel army. ”
Tang Ba swore and said: "Don't say that, the king, Tang Ba will not leave the king until he dies." I went home like this, it was useless, you all said, I was molesting the girl just now, I was blaspheming the girl, making the girl hate, and I am a humble person, and I will not achieve anything when I go home. ”
"Well, even if we don't have any chances, we'll all stay in the rebels, and like you, I don't want to get the heart of any girl. Zhao Jinlong said his feelings to Tang Ba with sympathy, and then he let Tang Ba go: "You go, finish today's business, and return to the cottage as soon as possible." ”
"That's it, Tang Ba is gone! Brothers! See you later!" After Tang Ba said goodbye to everyone, he stepped on the horse and donkey and ran away.
Lu Chahua looked at the large group of people brought down the mountain by Zhao Jinlong: "You group of people, follow Tang Ba down, what's the matter?"
In the face of Tao Ziyun's friends, Zhao Jinlong had no intention of concealing it: "Oh, I might as well sue you as well, because the military advisor came back and said that someone pretended to be our rebel army, carried out roadblock robbery, and ruined the reputation of our rebel army, I asked all the generals under my command to lead a small team to inspect everywhere, and forbade the robbers to pretend to be us." At the same time, we can also guard against the attack of wild dog monsters. ”
Lu Chahua asked Zhao Jinlong in surprise: "Wild dog monsters will still attack you!"
Zhao Jinlong replied to Lu Cha with a wry smile: "Yes, the wild dog monster is elusive, and we are tired of coping." At night, the ten-necked nine-headed birds would come to the cottage and harass us. ”
The goddess of Bailuo said with emotion: "Your situation is really difficult! It is rare that you still have to think about the local people, guide them down the mountain, and ask someone to make zuò water wheels for them. ”
Zhao Jinlong bluntly told the goddess of Bailuo: "Because the crops we planted on the mountain are not enough for our brigade to consume, we have to go down the mountain from time to time to buy grain from the villagers, if the villagers' crops are destroyed by drought, everyone will not be able to live." Helping them is actually helping ourselves, and we and the villagers near and far share weal and woe and depend on each other. (To be continued......)
