Chapter 801: [Water Wheel]

……

What does this mean?

The fields are all soaked in water, and the thick black clouds in the sky seem to know that the rain will not stop in the past few days, and the rain continues to fall, where can this field be saved?

Compared with other people's disbelief, Gui'e believes in Li Chengqian a little blindly.

Zhu Fatzi believed in Li Chengqian because of his power.

So on the field, only these two believed in him.

"Is there anything you can do?" Gui'e asked in a low voice.

Li Chengqian nodded, and then said to the tenants: "Yes, I have a way, I'll think of a way now, what everyone has to do now is to wait quietly here, take care of the old people and children, and when I make things, then you will rescue the crops in the field!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian walked outside.

Zhu Fatzi hurriedly followed.

Gui'e calmed down a group of suspicious tenants, comforted them a few words, and followed.

At this time, Li Chengqian was already giving an order to Zhu Fatzi, to find the carpenter on Zhuangzi, and to let people go into the palace to bring the carpenter Lu, and he was now going to make a waterwheel to come out and pump out the water in the field.

Waterwheel?

What is it?

Zhu Fatzi didn't understand, but he didn't ask, and immediately went to Li Chengqian to do the matter, he ran out, and met the first person who was the senior brother, and immediately pulled his strong man and asked him to find a carpenter.

And he himself went into the palace in person and went to find Carpenter Lu to get out of the palace.

Half an hour later, Carpenter Lu arrived.

He had already listened to Zhu Fatzi's orders on the way, and he could only call Li Chengqian a master outside. Can't tell his status as a prince.

Although he was puzzled, he did it anyway.

Arrived at Huangzhuang. Li Chengqian is already drawing drawings.

The waterwheel, also known as the Kongming car, is the oldest agricultural irrigation tool in China. It is a precious historical and cultural heritage created by the ancestors in the process of conquering the world. According to legend, it was the prototype of Hua Lan when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and it was popularized and used in Shu after being transformed and perfected by Kong Ming during the Three Kingdoms, and was widely used for agricultural irrigation in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

After Li Chengqian came to the Tang Dynasty, the waterwheel he saw was actually like the water windmill made by Li Chengqian last time, relying on the flow of water to bring water into the fields.

This is for irrigation.

But it's still too simple, and Li Chengqian simplified it part of it last time.

However, this kind of water windmill can only rely on the flow of water to introduce water. There is no way to pump water out of the field.

What Li Chengqian has to do now is to be able to pump out the water in the fields.

In later generations, there was a kind of waterwheel, which was three or four meters long, and the water was pumped up through wooden chains. One end of the waterwheel is placed in the water and the other end is placed on the shore, and a man shakes the wheels of the waterwheel to drive the wooden chain. The principle is somewhat similar to the wheels of a bicycle.

According to the principle on the drawing, he told Master Lu to listen. It's relatively easy to understand.

After Master Lu understood the core principle, in terms of modeling, the technical difficulties of the wooden chain were handed over to Master Lu to deal with by himself.

Fortunately, Master Lu has a lot of experience. And I've been with Li Chengqian for almost a year, and I can't do anything like Li Chengqian, so I have something to do with Li Chengqian. All have experience.

After studying the drawings for a while, Master Lu ordered someone to go into the palace to find Blacksmith Zhang. Ask the blacksmith to take a few iron chopsticks and a few iron nails. and pulled Master Lu's next group of apprentices over.

Groping for an afternoon. Master Lu said how to assemble the waterwheel of the principle Li Chengqian said out of wood.

This assembly work is a delicate job, but I am afraid that it will not be completed today.

It was raining heavily.

Just as Li Chengqian was sitting next to him, discussing the waterwheel with Master Lu, a man in a robe ran in from outside Zhuangzi.

Zhu Fatzi received him, and after a while, Zhu Fatzi quietly came over and whispered to Li Chengqian: "The queen is looking for you." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, these words were very simple, and Li Chengqian also heard the richer content of these simple words. On this rainy day, Li Chengqian ran out, and the queen must have been in a hurry and asked people to look for her.

Thinking of the queen's angry appearance, Li Chengqian's face couldn't help but turn white and broken.

It seems that he has to go back, Li Chengqian looked outside, and the rain was still falling.

He said, "Got it, I'll go back when the rain stops." ”

Zhu Fatzi also knew that now that the weather made Li Chengqian go back, he was afraid that the queen would be even more angry.

He nodded, stepped back, and spoke to the eunuch.

Gui'e also noticed the situation on Li Chengqian's side, but she couldn't hear what was said, and after Zhu Fatzi left, she came over and asked Li Chengqian what was going on.

Of course, Li Chengqian can't say that the queen is looking for her son to go back to education.

It can only be said that someone in the palace is looking for it.

Gui'e couldn't help but be moved again when she thought that Li Chengqian ran out of the palace to see her on a rainy day, and gave up her job to see her.

I was still afraid that the rain would fall until tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to stop after only half an hour, Li Chengqian hurried up, waved to Gui'e, and went back to the palace.

Master Lu and the others did not go back, and wanted to stay in the Huangzhuang to make the waterwheel overnight.

Back at the East Palace, the rain began to fall again.

Li Chengqian was thinking, it's raining now, right, so there's no need to brave the rain to go to the Lizheng Palace, right?

Of course, Li Chengqian will not admit that he is not suffering because he is afraid that he will suffer the anger of the queen if he goes now, and wants to wait until tomorrow, the queen's anger will disappear, and there will be nothing to do tomorrow.

But he still knew in his heart that he would let the eunuch go and tell the queen that he had returned.

"Come, go and report to the queen, and then ......" Li Chengqian entered the Lizheng Palace, and as soon as he was halfway through speaking, his voice was stuck.

He looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him and froze, beside her, there was Su Mi, who was dressed thick and moisture-proof, and Xiao Chen, and on the table on the other side, there was the hippopotamus sister who was playing with a big and small cat's eye.

"Uh, that...... Here you are, Queen Mother! Li Chengqian sneered, shook his hand, and said hello.

"Hmph, you still know that this palace is your queen mother, why don't you take my words to heart, why don't you ......come over quickly," the queen snorted angrily.

Li Chengqian scratched the back of his head, walked over slowly, and as soon as he walked in front of the queen, the queen's jade hand stretched out, like a bolt of lightning, and her jade hand seemed to have a living soul, and went straight to Li Chengqian's perfect ear.

"Ahh ――”

A voice that did not look like a human scream rang out.

In the East Palace in the evening of this day, this kind of seemingly inhuman voice has been ringing.

Singing with the national flag lowered outside, the north and south echoed!
