Spring and Autumn I Am King

Thanks to book friend Nimeitaba for the reward again!

"Waterwheel, my gentleman said, it's called a keel waterwheel." Yu Xi's head was held high, and she was very proud of it.

"Chengyi is mostly dry land, and the terrain is relatively high. There is no water to irrigate it. The gentleman and Mr. Ji ordered the craftsmen to make a keel waterwheel, teach the subordinate farmers to turn it, and irrigate it to cover itself."

Zhao Guangde praised: "I have never seen such a miraculous and delicate thing in Wendi and Xinjiang."

Yu Xi pointed to the ditches in the fields and said, "There are also these ditches that divert water. The gentleman and Mr. Ji planned out the route, and let us take the soldiers and savages to dig it. From then on, the people fetched water. Irrigation is many times easier.”

Zhao Wuxi listened to the conversation between the two with a smile on his face. The keel waterwheel, also known as "rollover" or "treadmill" in later generations, was the "big project" he had been busy with for half a year before.

In the original history, this thing was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, but it has been used in later generations and played a huge role in agricultural irrigation. It was not until the emergence of electric water pumps that it gradually disappeared from people's vision. In his previous life, in the countryside around his hometown of Gansu and Shaanxi, he could occasionally see one or two. He used to lie on it as a toy and stomped on it happily when he was a child, so I have some impressions.

Just to make this thing, Wu Xie asked Ji Qiao to study the principle of compound pulleys and axles. His compound bow, which also uses axles, can only be counted as its by-product.

But this task is easier said than done.

The keel waterwheel in front of me can cross the height difference of two or three meters and directly lift water from the stream to the farmland. It seems that the principle is simple, but it has to be created from scratch, but it takes Wu Xie and Ji Qiao a lot of thought. He and Ji Qiao discussed that after drawing the design drawings on the slips, it would take several months for the craftsmen to build the components and then splicing them one by one, and there were several failures in the meantime, and he almost gave up in frustration.

Moreover, because the manpower is limited and there are not many productions, it can only be placed in key positions.

Just as the Book of Songs says: "It rains on my public land, and then it becomes my private land." In addition to the public fields of Xiangs and Temples, as long as you participate in the winter planting and generation of fields in each li, Wu Xian will let someone put one in, and it will be regarded as the li of each li. Support his welfare too.

As for Cheng's Manor, which took a non-cooperative attitude, and Sangyang Weng's family as the "control group". Zhao Wuxi's attitude is, since you want to go it alone, then you can find a way to do it yourself, without taking risks and obligations, but want to enjoy the rights? How could it be so easy...

What's more, if it weren't for this, how could the Chinese people who participated in the winter seed have a sense of superiority?

As for the large-scale dumping water truck, it is impossible to manufacture it with Chengyi's current technical level and human resources. Because just building these most primitive keel waterwheels and digging ditches at key positions has already hurt people's strength, and once aroused complaints from the Chinese people. Only suppressed the flames of resistance.

Moreover, these waterwheels have also completely exhausted the money and silk that the Cheng clan, the big dog-killing family, obtained last time. Now the treasury is empty, and all the mice can run away!

Gradually, as he approached the township temple, Zhao Guangde looked around and saw that the houses here, even the tallest township temple, were ordinary, as simple as those in Wendi township.

The strange thing is that the whole village, whether in the alley or inside the house, is actually silent, with only chickens and dogs. The people here seem to have all fled overnight...

Zhao Guangde was puzzled: "Why is there no one in the village?"

As soon as he asked these words, he heard a roar of applause from the mountains and tsunamis not far away!

…

When Wu Xie took Zhao Guangde and others to the threshing ground outside the township temple, the little fat man found that the place was surrounded by the people of the township. It was as if a shrine or a village shooting was being held, the voices were full of people, and it was very lively.

"The gentleman is here, the second and third sons! Let's all give way and move!" Tian Ben shouted in a loud voice, and everyone turned around to see that he was indeed a dignified gentleman with wide sleeves and a jade ring on his waist.

Wu Xie's prestige in Chengyi is now at the height of the sky, and the people have spread the word.

"What a gentleman is back!"

So without waiting for Zhao Bing and the villagers who were maintaining order to come to guide them, the people moved their positions to the side in unison, making a narrow passage made of human walls for Wu Xie and his party. The passage leads directly to the small mound with the best view, where, below Zi Wu Xie, the highest military commander of Cheng Yi, the township Sima Yang Tong Rong is watching the field with interest and applauding from time to time.

It turned out that seeing Wu Xie's military and political affairs in Chengyi gradually improving, Wang Sunqi resigned from the position of the township Sima a few days ago, and took charge of the post of imperial guard. Wu Xie knows Wang Sunqi's concerns. He is currently the only person who has not pledged allegiance to Wu Xie. His identity is somewhat subtle and awkward.

The Wangsun clan is a proud descendant of the Zhou family, and will only bow to the suzerain and prince of the Zhao clan. Doing things under Wu Xie is just to respect Zhao Yang's decision. If there is an order, Wang Sunqi will still leave at any time.

Wu Xie couldn't beat him, so he could only pass it, but at the same time, he asked Wang Sunqi, like Ji Qiao, to pick up the omissions and make up for the omissions, and serve as a military advisor beside him. As a result, Yang Tong Rong was promoted to an official again, as the township Sima, and at the same time, he also served as the **** commander of the second and second pawns.

Although Yang Tong Rong is very loyal, some time ago, he commanded more soldiers, but he also worked hard and did a lot for Wu Xie. But the authority cannot be in the hands of one person. Wu Xie plans to promote another two Sima as the **** commander, but he is still hesitating about who to use.

Seeing Wu Xie's arrival, Yang Tong Rong turned around and bowed down.

Wu Xie put away his thoughts and helped him up with a smile: "You don't need to be polite to the township Sima, how is the situation on the field?"

Yang Tong Rong has been smooth sailing for the past six months, rising all the way, with a round face full of joy, he replied: "To let the gentleman know that Xia and Jing have each entered a frame, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is indistinguishable. time!"

"Shan, it's not too late for me to wait."

Zhao Wuxi pointed inward: "Cousin, look, this is Cuju, do you think it's interesting?"

Zhao Guangde followed his cousin and walked along the road surrounded by crowds, and there was a green grass field in front of him, and the bare yellow surface could be seen in several places.

In the field, the threshing field with the uneven surface in the past has long been leveled by the soldiers with high enthusiasm, and grass seeds have been sown under Wu Xie's instructions. After spring, it has become a green field. In Chengyi, since the beginning of spring, there has been a Cuju competition every ten days.

At present, there are eleven people on the field, one of them is wearing soap clothes, the other is wearing short brown, and they are fighting each other on the field.

Zhao Guangde could only see a round ball that was suddenly high and suddenly low, and every time it rolled, it would trigger fierce competition among the soldiers.

The thickly dressed Chinese people help the old and the young, and sit cross-legged outside the threshing ground. Although the savages in short coats and short browns are also allowed to watch, they can only stand on the periphery where the view is not very good.

After watching it several times, everyone understood the rules and interesting points of this Cuju, the atmosphere was already very strong and enthusiastic, and there were even teams to support. If a goal is scored, the whole court will be noisy; When I went directly to the Xiangsi Temple just now, what shocked Zhao Guangde was the cheers that erupted from the crowd.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

After only a few glances, Zhao Guangde couldn't move his eyes.
