Chapter 181: The Role of the Waterwheel

It's also in a hurry, and it's also a hurry to go.

Not only Xiao Dezi, but also Li Jihe, on the day he sent the congratulatory gift, he hurried back again.

This is probably the rules of the royal people, Liu Yiyi shook his head, began to pick up the lamp, and together with Lao Liu and Liu He, they counted the congratulatory gifts that Li Jihe and Xiao Dezi sent during the day.

Silk, jade, gold, ceramics, ornaments, all arranged together, there are many things they have never even seen.

"One," Lao Liu looked at the bottle of jade Buddha in his hand, and said to Liu Yiyi: "Although my father doesn't have much knowledge, he can also see that these things are extraordinary, and they are by no means something that ordinary people can have, let alone give them as gifts." Who are those friends of yours? How can you make a move, it's such a priceless thing? ”

"yes, one." Liu He touched a piece of red silk, and also interjected on the side: "This kind of silk has been seen before, it is only those rich men can afford to wear it, a horse can only be bought for at least thirty yuan of silver, they have given so much at once, this is also"

It seems that Lao Liu and Liu He were frightened by these gifts.

Liu Yiyi chuckled, put down the delicate porcelain vase in his hand gently, and said to Lao Liu and Liu He: "Dad, mother, you just have to rest assured, these two friends of mine are rare big families in Chang'an City, and they are all serious people." These things may be very expensive in our eyes, but in their eyes, they are also ordinary. You don't have to take it to heart, just treat it as an ordinary gift, just put it away. ”

There are some things that Liu Yiyi doesn't want his family to know too much. It's not that I want to keep a piece of mystery about Rausch. It's Lao Liu, who knows that it's useless, and they want to make them worry and worry about themselves. It's annoying, it's not worth it.

"Well, one is also true, it's my father and mother who are too careful." Lao Liu nodded lightly, for those who are really rich, this is really nothing.

"Hmm. It's the size of the child who has a chance. Liu He put down the silk, walked lightly to the jade ornament they had just placed, picked up a pair of pure white silver hairpins, put them on his head and tried back and forth according to the bronze mirror twice, nodded and said to Liu Yiyi: "Send this to Chu Chu tomorrow, well, and these red silks, also send one." There was no one at home before, and there was a head, but now that there is, we can't treat our Liu family's daughter-in-law badly anymore. ”

"Got it. Mother. Liu Yiyi gently placed a clay pot in the pile of ceramics and nodded to Liu He.

"And." Liu He put down the silver hairpin, looked at Liu Yiyi and said: "Seeing that our family's life is getting better and better, and our family is also a lot more prosperous, it has far surpassed that of our in-laws, but you can't look down on your father-in-law's family because of this, let's not be the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich." ”

"Mother," Liu Yiyi stood up, walked to Liu He's side, helped her sit down on the chair beside her, reached out and gently squeezed Liu He's shoulders, and said to her with a smile: "I care about all this, my mother can rest assured, does my mother look at her own size, like a person who hates the poor and loves the rich?" ”

"Hehe, you kid." Liu He squinted and chuckled, Liu Yi's modern massage technique made her feel relaxed and comfortable for a while.

Lao Liu also put down the things on the ground at this time, got up and sat on the chair next to Liu He's, took a sip of the tea on the table, and asked Liu Yiyi: "Yi, seeing that your marriage with Chu Chu is approaching, shouldn't we also move all the belongings in this family to the new house, I heard from my in-laws that this new house has been basically completed, but I have moved in." ”

"What Dad said is," Liu Yiyi gently squeezed Liu He's shoulder, which was a little stiff due to overwork, and said to Liu honestly, "I'll go to the new house tomorrow to have a look, and if I can, I'll start moving tomorrow." ”

"Oh, that, Daddy." Liu Yiyi's subordinates didn't stop, glanced at Lao Liu, and said to him: "When I went to Xia'er Village today, I saw that the water in the ditch had bottomed out, and I thought that it would dry up completely in two days. Otherwise, if it does not rain on this day, I am afraid that the crops in the field will be lost. ”

"Well, it's up to you." Lao Liu nodded helplessly, the situation is stronger than people, although five hundred yuan is more, but compared to his harvest of one hundred acres of fertile land, it is also worth it.

And he also heard about the land today, with the waterwheel made by Liu Yiyi, the well water irrigates the fields, and the well water irrigates the land, which is not worse than the windmill and cylinder car in the canal. Now there are many households in the village, all of whom have begun to follow the example of Liu Yiyi, and have ruthlessly started shovels and dug deep wells in their respective fields.

Once and for all, Lao Liu can be regarded as figuring it out.

"Well water irrigation? And it worked? Gongsun Wenda, who was having a headache about the dry land, immediately stood up from his chair and looked down excitedly

Nong asked him in disbelief, "Is what you said true?"

"Back to the old man," said the tenant farmer, who bowed down and respectfully said to Gongsun Wenda, "what the villain said is true, the waterwheel of the new owner can indeed draw water from the deep well for irrigation, and the degree of water produced is not inferior to that of the ordinary waterwheel used in the river and canal." Usually, only one person and one cow are needed to continuously draw water for irrigation of the field, which is convenient. ”

"At that time, even the county lord of Sanyuan went in person, and the villain could see it clearly, and the county lord was always full of praise for the waterwheel." The tenant farmer was afraid that Gongsun Wuda would not believe him, so he moved Li Zhide out.

"Zhide?" Gongsun Wenda nodded, knowing that his brother-in-law must have received some kind of letter before he was present. Waving his hand to the tenant farmer, he said to him, "Go to the treasury and withdraw five hundred yuan, and you will go back." ”

"Yes, sir, thank you for your generous gift." The tenant farmer bowed his hand with a smile on his face and slowly withdrew from the door.

"Ah Yi, you go and prepare for the old man, early tomorrow morning, the old man is going to Gutian Village, well, say hello to the young master, let him go with him tomorrow, don't let him stay in the martial arts hall all day, pondering what kind of bone removal technique." Gongsun Wenda instructed Gongsun Yi, who had been standing aside.

"Yes, Second Master." Gongsun Yi saluted Gongsun Wenda, and then turned and withdrew.

"A virtuous nephew, hehe, you are really good at creating surprises for people." Gongsun Wenda chuckled and sighed, then got up and went to the inner room.

"Well irrigation? Hehe, it's also a good nephew to think of it. Yang Bofang beat the little guy who came to report the news away, and said to his wife Yang Li with a smile: "Our virtuous nephew can be regarded as a genius. Medical skills, fists and feet, calligraphy, and this farming, almost all of them are excellent, Uncle Liu's family can have such descendants, I am very relieved, hehe, I am very relieved. ”

Hearing it, Yang Bofang smiled comfortably.

"What, the master wants to go and see for himself?" Yang Li picked up a coat, draped it lightly on Yang Bofang's body, and asked softly.

"It's really a husband and a wife," Yang Bofang pulled his coat up, looked at Yang Li and said, "This is what the husband wants." ”

Yang Bofang pulled Yang Li to sit down on the side, and said to her: "Not to mention congratulating a virtuous nephew, just for the sake of the two hundred hectares of fertile land in our field, we should also go on a run for our husband." ”

"Well, the master is right," Yang Li nodded lightly, and said to Yang Bofang with a slight smile: "However, in seven days, it will be a happy day for a virtuous nephew to start a family. ”

"This, madam, you can call the shots, for a big man, how can you think about this." Yang Bofang pushed 265 and handed over all this problem to Yang Li to deal with.

"You," Yang Li glanced at Yang Bofang with disgust, knowing that he had always been like this, so he didn't bother to bother with him anymore.

Chang'an City, it's night.

Li Zhide led three taels of servants and drove the waterwheel he asked for from Yuan Fang into Chang'an City.

Because tomorrow Li Shimin will open the altar to worship the sky and pray for the protection of the gods, so tonight, in accordance with the common etiquette, Li Shimin will be fasting and meditating, in order to show his sincerity, and he will not be able to meet foreign guests.

Therefore, Li Zhide did not be able to enter the palace and become a saint, and he didn't want to share this credit with others, so he had to wait outside the palace.

At this time, in the East Palace, Li Jihe, who had rushed back from Sanyuan, had already reported to Li Chengqian that Liu Yiyi had irrigated the cultivated fields.

Li Chengqian took two steps back and forth in the hall, excited, excited, and uncontrollable, this is a great piece of good news, if he is the first person to report to his father and the emperor, then?

Li Chengqian stopped, looked up at Li Jihe and asked, "You said that Li Zhide, the county governor of Sanyuan, has already transported a waterwheel to Chang'an?" ”

"Yes, His Highness the Prince." Li Jihe nodded yes.

"Well, then he must not have had a chance to meet his father at this moment." Because of the matter of sacrificing to the sky, it is difficult for even he, the prince, to see Li Shimin, let alone a county prince? This is an opportunity, Li Chengqian resolutely raised his hand and instructed Li Jihe: "Jihe, you go and send someone to find Li Zhide for Lone, and after you find it, you must bring him and the waterwheel he transported to this East Palace." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Jihe bowed to Li Chengqian, then turned around and retreated.

If you have this waterwheel, do you still need to sacrifice to the heavens like this?

Li Chengqian sat down on the chair gently, thinking in his heart, can't he say that tonight, he will also learn from the old man Wei Zheng? ——

Uh-huh
