the banks of the Bahe River.
Seeing that huge waterwheel lifted the river to more than ten feet high, everyone, including Li Er, was shocked!
I’m sorry to see that, if you use human to lift water, you can indeed raise it so high, but the key is that the waterwheel does not use any human power at all, and it runs automatically by hydraulic power, which is a bit incredible~!
After a long time, everyone recovered from their shock. Cheng Yaojin was the first to speak: "Haha! I know that Xiaoxuan, you didn't brag at the time. You said this waterwheel can automatically carry river water, then Definitely! It seems that Lao Cheng has the best vision!"
While talking, Lao Cheng walked up to Li Zexuan and patted the latter on the shoulder fiercely, with a sullen expression, as if Li Zexuan was the talent he had discovered!
Everyone was speechless, and they secretly cursed Lao Cheng for being shameless, but Li Zexuan slapped his teeth. It was said that Lao Cheng slapped him, and he would not be able to bear it for another person. That is, he has a deep foundation in martial arts, so he can stand it hard.
"Your Majesty is wise, the old ministers congratulate your Majesty~!"
Just as everyone secretly planned to bite the gold, Wei Zheng suddenly bowed to Li Er and said such a word for no reason.
Li Er was immediately trapped, and he thought he didn’t do anything? Why are you wise? Wei Zheng, who always likes to make trouble for himself, did he take the wrong medicine today?
"Wei Aiqing, where do you start?"
Li Er thought for a moment, frowned and asked.
Wei Zheng bowed and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty’s eyes and talents were originally in the grass and mustards. He enlisted Yong'an Hou into the court, and allowed Yong'an Hou to start school, run academies, and build workshops. Wise decision-making is the only way to have the current Yanhuang Academy and the current waterwheel! This waterwheel can live the people! How should the old ministers congratulate your majesty?"
In the past, although Wei Zheng had no clear objections to Li Zexuan’s engineering, he was definitely not supportive or like it. But now in the midst of a drought in Guanzhong and the officials were at a loss, Li Zexuan used engineering to create such ingenious work. With the powerful waterwheel, Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel a lot of gratitude for Li Zexuan, and even a slight affection for engineering!
This kind of good feeling has never been mixed with any personal feelings. It is only the good feeling that Wei Zheng gave birth to because Li Zexuan saved millions of people in Guanzhong!
Wei Zheng's voice just finished, the several important officials present all reacted, and under the leadership of Changsun Wuji, bowed to Li Er and said: "Your Majesty has obtained this benefit of the world, and the ministers congratulate your Majesty~!"
"Your Majesty has obtained this benefit of the world, and the ministers congratulate your Majesty~!"
The waterwheel on the river was still spinning around, and the uniform congratulations from the ministers and workers on the bank traveled far and far in this clearing on the river bank.
Li Er looked at the waterwheel and the rushing water at the end of the trough. He was filled with joy. The drought that had plagued him for a long time finally had a solution. He said that he has been planning to make the alchemist lately. Opening the altar to ask for rain, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary, because the waterwheel built by Li Zexuan is more reliable than asking for rain!
"Haha! The princes should not congratulate me, they should congratulate the people of the world! With this waterwheel, the drought in Guanzhong can be solved easily, and the tens of thousands of people on the land of Guanzhong will be protected from the drought. You should congratulate It!"
Li Er nodded and said with a smile on his face. Then he looked at Li Zexuan again and said in a deep voice: "Hou Yongan, this time you can build this kind of waterwheel that automatically transports river water and resolve the severe drought in Guanzhong. Reward, but the urgent task now is to quickly put this waterwheel into mass production! I have ordered all states and counties in Guanzhong to start dredging the canals immediately. When the canal is matched with your waterwheel, the drought in the Guanzhong land can be fully realized. Relief!"
Li Zexuan replied: "The minister abides by the decree! There are more than a thousand craftsmen in the workshop, and they will go all out to rush to make the waterwheel day and night! In addition, the minister is willing to send the drawings of the waterwheel to the court or make it public. The structure of this waterwheel is not complicated. According to the drawings, any small workshop can make it. However, the bearings and gears used in this waterwheel are difficult to manufacture in private workshops, but they can go directly to the Qiqu Pavilion. Buy! In this way, all states and counties can work together to produce a sufficient number of waterwheels in the shortest time to resolve this drought in the customs!"
Sending out the blueprint is a decision made by Li Zexuan after careful consideration. Just like last year’s Quyuan Plow, Li Zexuan sent the blueprint directly to the court as soon as it was built, because he knew that in the face of such a severe drought, absolutely Li Zexuan will definitely not earn this kind of ignorant money if he is not allowed to be selfish!
It's not how noble he is, but Li Zexuan only wants to live comfortably, using water trucks and quyuan ploughs to make money with life-saving things in the eyes of ordinary people. Li Zexuan feels that even if he only earns a penny with such money, he cannot be at ease!
There are many ways to make money, and he will not make money that makes him uneasy!
In addition, although the scale of the workshop is far greater than before, no matter how large it is, it is only a workshop. It only has one or two thousand craftsmen, and it cannot meet the needs of Guanzhong Land for waterwheels in a short time!
"Yongan Hou Gaoyi! The old man, for the people of the world, thanks Yongan Hou~!"
Hearing that Li Zexuan was going to hand over the drawing of the waterwheel, everyone was shocked. Wei Zheng glanced at Li Zexuan in surprise, and then bowed in convincing respect.
Li Zexuan didn’t dare to accept Wei Zheng’s gift. He quickly staggered his position and said:
"Why did Wei Zuocheng say this? If you live in the temple, you are worried about the people; if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about the king. You and I are in the temple, seeking the well-being for the people, isn't it right? This district waterwheel The blueprints can save thousands of people. Why do I, Li Zexuan, keep them private? Only by giving them away can I be worthy of your majesty’s value and worthy of the national salaries I eat~!"
"If you live high in the temple, you worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king..."
Hearing Li Zexuan's words, Wei Zheng couldn't help being stunned. These two words were Li Zexuan's self-commandments, so why not his lifelong pursuit? At this moment, Wei Zhengcai realized that he seemed to have just recognized Li Zexuan. With these two sentences, Li Zexuan could be regarded as his "comrade in the same way". Thinking of his impeachment against Li Zexuan last year, Wei Zheng couldn't help it. A little ashamed, he handed his hands:
"Hou Yong'an has a high-quality character, Wei Zheng admires it!"
These words are really true!
Li Er couldn't help being a little surprised, dare Wei Tanzi to convince others? This is really coming out of the sun hitting the west!
After looking at Wei Zheng curiously, Li Er looked at Li Zexuan with a look of relief and said: "I am very pleased that you can have this enlightenment. Since you are willing to contribute the drawings, I will send someone to send the drawings to the states and counties. The local counties are ordered to recruit craftsmen and civil servants to build waterwheels as soon as possible to alleviate the drought!"
"Your Majesty Shengming~!"
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and said.
In this way, the task of the workshop can be greatly reduced. It only needs to produce a small batch of waterwheels to supply the surrounding counties of Chang'an, while other county cities can build cars according to the drawings. As for what they can’t make. Parts such as gears and bearings can be purchased at Qiquge or its branches!
……………………………………
The next day.
Yesterday's waterwheel test was a big success, and it made the headlines of "Datang Daily".
"The waterwheel is great, and drought resistance is expected? What is a waterwheel?"
"Hey! Wouldn't you look down? This waterwheel is a new thing made by Hou Ye, a kind of car that can automatically carry river water from a low place to a high place. Thousands of people from the Qiquge Workshop The craftsmen worked hard to build it, and the experiment was successful yesterday! You said that with this thing, will the people of Datang still be afraid of drought?"
"Huh~! There are such magical things in this world?"
"Of course! It is said that the saints brought the court officials to visit yesterday, and confirmed the function of the waterwheel on the spot, and Yonganhou has dedicated the drawing of the waterwheel to your majesty! Your majesty will soon be available to the world and let the states The county government, build a waterwheel to fight drought as soon as possible!"
"What? Yonganhou handed over the drawings of the waterwheel? Oh! Confused! If you know that those drawings are worth tens of thousands of dollars, why did Yonganhou hand over them so easily~?"
"I am~! What a fairy, Yonganhou, how can he use this kind of people’s life-saving thing to make money? The second king, don’t impose your nasty thoughts on Yonganhou! Be careful we beat you~!"
"Yes! Yongan Hou misses the people, he is unparalleled in justice and righteousness. In Quyuanli last year, he didn't make any money from the people, and he directly disclosed the drawings to the public! If you dare to talk nonsense, we will beat you to death~!"
"Hou Renyi, Yong'an! If it's as you say, the old man, my family's fields are now saved!"
"Yes, yes! Please God bless you, let Yonganhou live a hundred and a thousand years old, only in this way can we people live a good life!"
"That's right! The old lady, after I go back, I will give Yongan Houli the longevity stele, and pray for Yongan Hou every day!"
The reason why Li Zexuan asked the people in the editorial department of "Datang Daily" to spread the news of the successful development of the waterwheel was to stabilize people's hearts and enable the people to fight against the drought with confidence.
A while ago, when the drought came and the land was dry, most people chose the most stupid way-to carry water and irrigate the land. In fact, that is the most instinctive performance when people are desperate, because they know they are fighting against There was no drought, so I carried water and irrigated the land with the idea of saving a little field.
Now, with the news of the successful development of the waterwheel in the "Datang Daily", the people are all excited after hearing the news, and rushing to tell each other, after the desperate people have found hope, they have burst out to survive. Those who want to "look", especially those in Lantian County who are building cement ditches, are working harder!
"Uncle Zhong! Uncle Zhong! Good news! Good news! Great news!"
At the entrance of Yujiazhuang Village, Zhong Li was leading the Yiying villagers of Yujiazhuang to dig a canal. Suddenly, Yu Dejing took a newspaper and ran over here violently, and shouted excitedly while running. .
Zhong Lizheng has never seen Yu Dejing, who has always been gentle, gaffes like this. He couldn't help but curiously said: "Dejing, what good news is there? I'll make you happy!"
The dealers who are digging the canal can't help but stop their work at this moment, want to hear what good news Yu Dejing has brought!
"Uncle Zhong! It's really good news!"
Yu Dejing breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "Today's "Datang Daily" said that Lord Hou built a waterwheel that can automatically lift water to a high place, and the test was successful yesterday. It's here! Hou Ye said, all the people in Lantian County can use the waterwheel! When the waterwheel is matched with the canal, all the fields on our village can be irrigated by the river~!"
After Yu Dejing said, everyone did not say anything, because everyone was stunned at this moment. After a while, Zhong Lizheng finally reacted. His excited voice was a little trembling, but he saw his lips trembled and looked at Yu Dejing. Asked:
"This... there is such a magical thing in this world? Oh... Dejing, you didn't lie to us?"
The rest of the people also looked at Yu Dejing eagerly. Although they felt a little weird in their hearts, they still expected Yu Dejing to say the truth!
Yu Dejing opened the newspaper and said, "Uncle Zhong, where can I dare to lie to you? What I said is true! You see, it is clearly written in this newspaper! Lord Hou not only wants to use water for Lantian County. He also gave out the drawings, so that the people all over the world can use the waterwheel! If you don’t believe me, you can go to the bank of the Bahe River to see it. It is said that your Majesty and they saw that the waterwheel has not been withdrawn. go!"
After hearing Yu Dejing's words of vows and appearances, the dealers finally believed them all.
"Great! Great! Hou Ye really has a way to move the water from the Bahe River to our Yujiazhuang! The land of our Zhuangzi is all saved!"
Zhongli is excited and doesn't know where to put his hands~EbookFREE.me~ It looks like dancing and dancing, quite funny!
But no one laughed at him, because at this time, everyone was just like him, shaking with excitement!
"Haha! I said at the beginning, since Lord Hou can fly into the sky, he must have a way to send the water from the Bahe River to our Yujiazhuang. You didn't believe it at the time, Uncle Dashan, should you believe it now?"
Yu Dejing couldn't help but smile.
Yu Dashan smiled and said, "I believe it! From now on, I don't believe anyone in Yu Dashan, just believe in Hou Ye! Even if Hou Ye said that he could climb the Nine Palace Heavenly Gate and get the stars and moon, I would believe it~! "
"Da Shan is right! Whatever Hou Ye said in the future, let's believe it! If anyone questioned Hou Ye, I will be the first to not agree!"
"That's right!"
"Eh! No! Since Master Hou can really carry the water from the Bahe River, we must quickly repair the canal! I didn't say anything, my wife and the baby will come to help tomorrow! No money!"
"Yes, yes! My mother-in-law and the doll will come to help tomorrow!"
In an instant, there was no need for people to mobilize. The enthusiasm of the Yujiazhuang villagers to build the canal suddenly rose to an unprecedented level. They would rather not pay for the canal, but also repair the canal as soon as possible!
