Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 141 Ma Jun
"Do you know? A test bed was set up in the western suburbs of the city. I heard that a person made a waterwheel and announced to everyone that whoever can make a waterwheel better than him will reward him with a thousand dollars." Two gold pieces." Changan Wanshitong said vividly.

Whenever there is a major event in Chang'an, this know-it-all is always the first to know. No one knows his details, and no one knows where the news about him comes from.

"Know everything, you have so many friends." A fat man said with a smile.

Everyone laughed out loud, not to mention that the popularity of Wanshitong in the store is quite good, everyone likes this man who has all kinds of gossip every day.

Wanshitong is a middle-aged man, with an untrimmed beard and not high-end clothes, he looks like a hooligan.

But every time this know-it-all talks about gossip news, he is in high spirits, as if he is the protagonist in it, so every time he can attract everyone to watch, and afterwards, his news is also true, but sometimes It's just an exaggeration.

Of course, the jokes are the jokes, and the jack-of-all-trades is not angry at all.

Wanshitong coughed his throat, continued to look at the crowd and said.

"You don't know, my friend said, this is a huge reward order issued by the emperor."

"The Son of Heaven has heard that there may be a severe drought in the Jingzhao area this summer, so he hopes to build waterwheels to ease the crisis."

When talking about the Son of Heaven, Wanshitong's expression became serious.

"Know everything, is your news reliable?" A man asked cautiously.

"How can it be unreliable? Since when was the news about my MasterCom fake?" Said MasterCom sternly.

"Hey, there hasn't even been a single snowfall this winter. It seems that this summer's drought will not be able to escape." An old man sighed.

"Jack of all trades, can you tell me where the test bench is, can people watch it?" A young man asked excitedly.

"Gaobatian in the western outskirts of the city, next to the tributary of the Juhe River. I'm going to see it too." After finishing speaking, Wanshitong got up.

Since this morning, the incident at Gaobatian in the western outskirts of the city has spread in various ways in the city, and soon, the test bench where Bi Lan is is surrounded by people.

"Fathers and folks, I am Bi Lan, an official of the imperial court, and I am here to find someone who can make a better waterwheel by His Majesty's order. It belongs to him, and at the same time he can enter the court as an official." Bi Lan said loudly.

Then Bi Lan showed his water truck, irrigated from the lower part of the river to the upper farmland. It was amazing, but the amount of water taken was too small, and the manpower consumption was also high. In just a quarter of an hour, Bi Lan was already exhausted. .

Of course, even so, the water intake of the Bilan water truck is still easier than that of the farmer's shoulders, and the water supply is also much larger.

The people present looked at Bi Lan's water truck with admiration. It's not that they haven't seen a water truck before, but they have never heard of it being better than Bi Lan's water truck.

However, there will always be bold ones among the crowd. A middle-aged man walked onto the test field just like this, and then began to fiddle with the second Bilan water truck used for the test.

Of course, the middle-aged man's operation failed in the end, but Bi Lan also rewarded him with more than ten dollars as hard work.

As the maker of the waterwheel, Bi Lan can still see that this middle-aged man has some ideas, but he has already thought about it.

Of course, Bi Lan did not give any rewards to those who wanted to make up for it. The reason why he gave rewards was to encourage more people to try to improve the waterwheel. After all, as long as he can make improvements, he can also get a hundred gold rewards from the court. .

A day passed quickly. Although hundreds of people tried, without exception, all of them ended in failure. After all, the Bilan Water Wheel is a cross-generational pioneering work, and it is not easy to continue to improve.

However, with the water supply of the Bilan water truck, although some droughts can be alleviated, the effect is minimal. This is the main reason why Zhang Ming is not satisfied with the Bi Lan water truck.

In contrast, Pu Yuan built a blacksmith's shop that can accommodate hundreds of people on an open space outside the palace. He wants to make better iron farm tools for the people of the city. Of course, the most critical step is quenching and refining. The process was supervised by him personally.

The entire city of Chang'an is in full swing. The Taixue is being built in the east township of the city, waterwheels are being rebuilt in the western suburbs outside the city, and agricultural tools are being built in the open space outside the palace. Variety.

However, with the talent "Project Acceleration", the construction speed of Taixue has indeed become faster.Taixue, which was originally expected to take two months to complete, now only takes about fifty days to complete.

As for announcing the restart of Taixue to all the students in the world, there is no need to worry yet, Zhang Ming is going to wait until after the selection of accompanying students is completed, and then announce it separately.

After all, these accompanying students will be role models for Tai students, and their choices are especially important.

During this period of time, the talent acting on Lu Bu also expired. This was Zhang Ming's first talent to expire, but this talent also fulfilled his due mission.

At least during this period of time, Lu Bu did a lot of things for the imperial court, such as contributing food to Meiwu, capturing Lantian City, guarding the west gate of Chang'an, attacking the Baling Barracks at night, and even supporting the establishment of the military headquarters.

Of course, although his talent expired, Lu Bu was still a general of the imperial court, so he went to Hanoi County as usual, after all, his fief was there, and he also wanted to meet Cao Cao and Yuan Shao next to him.

As for what happened during this period, although Lu Bu had doubts in his heart, it was all done by him himself after all, so he thought about it for a while and then left it behind. Compared with these, he was more concerned about the next battle.

And Zhu Jun's troops also arrived in Hedong County. At this moment, Wenxi County, Anyi County, Jie County, Yishi County, Pishi County, and Feyin County in Hedong County have all been conquered by Yang Feng's Baibo Bandits.

However, Zhu Jun's troops took down Xie County, which was the least well-prepared, with lightning speed. Relying on Xie County, they were ready to prepare for the next battle.

Although the Baibo thieves are known to have a population of [-], most of them are refugees. These refugees have never been trained, so every time they capture a city, they burn, kill and loot. Compared with the behavior of Dong Zhuo's army, the behavior of the Baibo thief army And not as good as.

The real elite troops of the Baibo bandits are stationed in Anyi County. Anyi is not a small county, but an important place. The once famous battle between Han Xin and Wei took place in this city. Even now, Anyi is also an important city, and Li Jue's troops were stationed here before.

As for the other five counties, the reason why Yang Feng conquered was only to snatch the wealth of the county. He has no lofty goals, and he only cares about the three melons and two dates in front of him.

Ever since Yang Feng heard that Zhu Jun was leading the army, he was scared out of his wits. As a man from a wealthy family, he had naturally heard of Zhu Jun's reputation, so regarding Zhu Jun's arrival, Yang Feng ignored everyone's objections and directly sent him to Zhu Jun. All the elite white wave thieves were transferred back from other cities.

After all, in Yang Feng's view, although there are many refugees, they are all trash, and Zhu Jun's army will only be defeated at the first touch, so there is no need to waste his elite white wave thieves because of these refugees.

However, although these elite Baibo thieves are very important to Yang Feng, their combat capability is actually similar to that of Niu Fu's army, and the level of ordinary soldiers of the imperial court is average.

After Zhu Jun established his foothold in Xie County, he discovered that Yang Feng, a coward, actually ignored the situation of the other cities and allowed the imperial army to attack. The city returned to the hands of the imperial court.

However, it is not an easy task to break through Anyi City.

In addition to transferring all the elite troops back to the city, Yang Feng also reinforced the city walls and gates. Relying on the grain looted from the other five counties, Yang Feng is confident that he will be able to defend this Anyi city.

Regarding this situation, Zhu Jun couldn't help but feel a little headache. Although he took down five counties in succession, these five counties had already been looted by the Baibo bandits, and once the other party occupied the city, the two sides would become a typical war of attrition .

The important thing is that Zhu Jun's food can only last for a month, but Yang Feng's food can last for a long time. Once the imperial army retreats, Yang Feng can lead the Baibo bandits to continue to wreak havoc for four weeks. Hedong County can't afford the Baibo bandits again and again Therefore, this time, Zhu Jun must take Anyi City.

On the Gaoba field in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, Bi Lan has been here for five days. Except for the first day and the second day, there are many people watching. Most of the attempts have failed.

And the vast majority of people still have their own things to do, so how can they watch the excitement here every day.

However, from the third day onwards, more craftsmen from the city also came here. Compared with ordinary farmers, these craftsmen were more professional. Some small improvements gave Bi Lan a lot of ideas, and even on the fifth day When it was time, Bi Lan personally improved the waterwheel and improved its efficiency a bit.

However, Bi Lan knew that this improvement in efficiency was far from meeting His Majesty's requirements, so he could only continue to wait here.

In a courtyard in Chang'an Chengnan Township, a person was working on a waterwheel. On the first day, this person went to the Gaoba field outside the city and saw Bi Lan's waterwheel with his own eyes.

He was very curious about Bi Lan's water wheel, but he didn't directly try to improve it like others, but imitated one according to Bi Lan's water wheel, and then continued to improve it at home.

He was poor since he was a child, but he liked to invent and manufacture since he was a child, but because he had a stutter, others looked down on him.

"Jun, it's time to eat." A middle-aged woman came to the yard and called.

"Mother, I'm researching, you should eat first." Ma Jun said without raising his head.

"Hey." The old woman sighed and walked back to the hall.

The middle-aged woman knew very well about Ma Jun's temper. Ma Jun loved making these mechanical things since he was a child, but now he is seventeen or eighteen years old, but he still does so. She is somewhat worried about Ma Jun.

However, thinking of the damask machine that Ma Jun remodeled for her before made her heart warm. This damask machine is much better than the damask machines on the market. So, even though she was worried about Ma Jun, she didn't stop her.

Ma Jun in the yard continued to tinker with the waterwheel. What was different from the past was that this time the waterwheel actually moved under the impact of the water flow. This was a huge improvement.

"It's done." Ma Jun wiped his hands and quickly called his mother out.

"Mom, I'm finally done." Ma Jun said with dancing.

"You, you, hurry up and eat." The middle-aged woman looked at the waterwheel with a gratified expression on her face.

In the afternoon, Ma Jun bid farewell to his mother, and then trotted to Gaobatian in the western suburbs outside the city. As for the water wheel at home, he didn't care about it. Anyway, as long as he knows the principle, it is not difficult to make a new one.

Just as Bi Lan was about to rest for a while, she was woken up by Ma Jun who rushed over.

"Officer, I have made a better waterwheel, let me try it."

After Ma Jun finished speaking, he stepped onto the test bench.

Bi Lan saw that the young man was confident, and he quickly asked the two Imperial Guards to help.

Ma Jun kept recalling the transformation process of the waterwheel at home in his mind, and then began to add gears and bearings to Bi Lan's waterwheel step by step, as well as the wooden chain he had made.

When Ma Jun installs all these things on Bi Lan's water wheel, this new type of water wheel will be completed. The new type of water wheel is shaped like a keel, and its shape is far from that of Bi Lan's water wheel, but the degree of refinement is obviously different. up.

If the Bilan waterwheel can only water flowers and take river water to sprinkle roads, then Ma Jun's keel waterwheel can really use water from the river to irrigate farmland.

And the most important thing is that even a child can drive Ma Jun's waterwheel, relying on the blessing of wooden chains, the efficiency is directly doubled.

However, Ma Jun needed more manpower to complete a keel waterwheel than Bi Lan's waterwheel. It took him an entire afternoon and two guards to finally complete the transformation of the waterwheel.

Bi Lan looked at Ma Jun's waterwheel and was very excited. This wave of transformation made his waterwheel a powerful irrigation tool. Of course, he cared more about the court's gold.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Bi Lan asked slightly.

"Get off Ma Jun." Ma Jun smiled as he looked at the keel waterwheel in front of him.

"Little brother, please follow me to the palace, and the 1000 taels of gold is yours." Bi Lan said while holding Ma Jun's hand.

"Ah? Do you still want to go to the palace?" Ma Jun asked puzzled.

Ma Jun thought that he could get the thousand taels of gold by making a keel waterwheel. His family was very difficult. Because his father died early and only his mother was dependent on each other, he needed money especially.

"No, the 1000 taels of gold belong to you, but you still have to follow me to the palace." Bi Lan explained.

"Okay, then I will follow you to the palace." Ma Jun agreed.

Bi Lan asked some imperial guards to send the gold to Ma Jun's house, and he took Ma Jun to the palace.
