The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

His father may disdain to participate in this kind of thing, but Yuan Yao said that this kind of free public support cannot be ignored.

Therefore, I ran to Lujiang very happily.

Naturally, such a solemn "unveiling" ceremony cannot be isolated.

Now Yuan Shu's farming to fight the drought is a hot topic, and the folks in the ten miles and eight townships have all received news that they have built a Yuan's waterwheel for the purpose of farming, and it is said that it was improved from an overturned cart. .

It is said that water can be easily transported from bottom to top without people picking it.

Strange, really strange.

This rare thing naturally aroused people's curiosity, so all of them waited early, looking at the utensil covered with red cloth, their hearts were itchy, and they wanted to know what it was.

"Old Qiao, do you know what this thing is?"

Among the crowd, I saw that Mr. Qiao was also among them.Hearing the question from others, he nodded first, then shook his head.

Seeing Mr. Qiao nodding and shaking his head, others were puzzled, and said, "Mr. Qiao, don't make riddles. What's the meaning of nodding and shaking your head?"

But I heard Mr. Qiao say: "It's not that I want to solve the riddle, but everyone knows about the overturned car. It is heavy and heavy. It is inconvenient to use it to irrigate the fields."

Everyone nodded again and again.

Then I heard Mr. Qiao say: "It's just such a big fanfare, it must have been reformed and perfected, it depends on what it looks like."

Everyone listened and didn't speak, they just focused on it, waiting for the announcement.

...

There is no microphone speaker at this meeting. Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in this army is someone with a loud voice.

Facing the people surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, it was Sun Hao, whom Yuan Yao had specially brought to Lujiang, who raised his voice this time.

But Sun Hao shouted: "Folks, for the early drought in Huainan, the later general really took great pains, and now he has even invented a new waterwheel, so that the villagers can irrigate the fields conveniently!"

As soon as Sun Hao finished speaking, the crowd started to discuss.

"A new waterwheel?"

"I really haven't heard of what it is, and I don't know what it is useful for."

"Then Yuan Gonglu can still worry about the early drought?"

The discussion among the crowd was getting louder and louder, but Yuan Yao didn't care.

The louder the better!

It's best to make a noise to every corner of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty!

When the voices of the crowd were already buzzing, Yuan Yao shouted: "Blind daters! I am Yuan Yao, the son of the General, and I am here today just to see how the water wheel works. If there is any problem, please let me know." Make changes early."

Of course, this is what he said, but Yuan Yao was sure in his heart, after all, the waterwheel had been tested many times.

When everyone heard that this was a big shot, they were looking forward to it even more.

Some people who said the wrong thing just now felt uneasy.

Fortunately, Yuan Yao didn't pursue it, let alone show off, and gestured to Yuan Huan who was beside him.

Yuan Huan immediately lifted the red cloth, and everyone immediately looked at the waterwheel.

I saw that the water wheel was made of wooden boards into a long groove, and dozens of wipers with the same width as the wooden groove were placed in the groove.

The wiper blades are connected successively by hinges, and the end and the end are connected to form a ring.There is a toothed wooden shaft at the upper and lower ends of the wooden trough.

Rotate the upper shaft to drive the wiper blades to circulate, and at the same time, bring out the water between the blades from bottom to top.

At first glance, it looks like that.

It's just not working yet, and no one knows whether it will work or not.

When everyone was still looking at it, they heard Sun Hao shouting again: "Is there any fellow countryman willing to come and try?"

This cry made the scene quiet.

After all, Yuan Yao's background is so great that ordinary people dare not act at will.

Yuan Yao is not in a hurry, it really can't be done, we still have people to support us.

Yuan Yao is also very skilled in this set.

It was a bit embarrassing, but I saw a person shouting: "Since no one wants to go, then I will try it."

Yuan Yao took a closer look, isn't this old man Qiao!

In fact, this Joe is not old, but these days, if he lives to be 50 or [-] years old, he can be called an old man.

But seeing that Mr. Qiao came to the waterwheel as he said it, looked at it carefully, and then asked Yuan Yao: "How should I operate it?"

Hey!

This old man Joe is really rude!

But today's benevolent and righteous people assume that he is doomed, Yuan Yao listened with a pleasing expression, and said to Mr. Qiao: "Just use this pedal."

Qiao Lao didn't hesitate when he saw it, and immediately stepped on it.

"squeak... squeak..."

I thought the waterwheel would take a lot of effort, but I didn't want to feel very relaxed once I stepped on it.

Seeing the rushing water being transported from the low place to the high place along the water truck, Mr. Qiao was really surprised.

"It really was brought out by this Mr. Yuan's family!"

"It seems that they have indeed used their brains for this drought control."

Qiao Lao didn't think that Yuan Gonglu could really take farming to fight the drought seriously in his heart. If he really had this heart, what would Huainan be like?

It wasn't after he found Mr. Yuan that he began to implement it boldly.

This is Joe's limitation.

In fact, if Yuan Yao hadn't seized Jiangdong, leveled Jiangxia, and driven Sun Ce and the broken stone to the north, Yuan Yao wouldn't have cared about the drought.

However, at this time, Mr. Qiao's impression of Yuan Yao really became a good official who cared for the people.

It was the same for others who saw it. This old Qiao was considered quite old, and he looked so relaxed.

It seems that this Yuan's waterwheel really still has something.

At that moment, someone with good deeds shouted: "Old Qiao, how do you feel?"

But I heard Mr. Qiao say: "It's easy to use! Really!"

Yuan Yao was delighted to hear that, this old man Qiao is on point!

In the face of these common people, gorgeous words seem superfluous, but Mr. Qiao's unpretentious words can resonate with everyone.

Sure enough, the eyes of the group of people around were all hot, and they started whispering again.

The difficulty of irrigation in ancient times is really unimaginable.

Carrying water and bucketing are nothing more than these methods. Seeing how easy it is to drain the water and irrigate the fields, how can we not be envious.

"I don't know how this thing was made, is there any secret?"

"Yeah, yeah, it looks like it's not easy to do."

"Hey, I can learn this stuff just by looking at it. It's so difficult."

"Bah! What a big talk, you go back and make one for me."

Hearing the commotion around, Yuan Yaozhi took a step forward and shouted: "Folks, I know that there is a drought in Huainan. It's not because my Yuan family is doing nothing, but I'm thinking about how to deal with it every day. Until today, That's why I finally made this Yuan's waterwheel."

"There is only one purpose for building this car, and that is to let the people of the world no longer suffer from famine!"

"So today, I, Yuan Yao, announced that every village should be aware of the system of the Yuan family's waterwheel, and all villages should also be informed, so that everyone can have grain and food!"

"it is good!"

"Young Master Yuan is doing great!"

"The queen general is righteous!"

As soon as Yuan Yao's words fell, everyone cheered and cheered, and they didn't want to be delayed by Yuan Yao's arrangement to speak first.

Things that don’t require money, don’t want them for nothing!

The scene was really happy and harmonious, with harmony between the army and the people.

Even Yuan Huan, who was on the side, couldn't help nodding in relief, smiling all over his face.

Chapter 135 Yuan Shu loves the people like a son

Qiao Lao returned home with a satisfied heart.

Although he didn't know how effective this Yuan's waterwheel was, Yuan Yao understood it in his heart.

As long as you have the heart, even if the waterwheel doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, and there will be a next time.

I really saw the right person!

Sighing in his heart, Mr. Qiao didn't restrain his joy, and the excitement on his face was undoubtedly revealed, and the youngest daughter who was guarding at home looked straight at him.

"Father, why are you so happy?"

Mr. Qiao also discovered recently that his little daughter is very careful about her whereabouts.

Jiang Xia, who went by herself last time, came back and heard that the little girl had inquired about where she went, so she was really curious.

Now that he is so dedicated to waiting for him, could it be that he has heard some rumors?

Thinking secretly in his heart, Mr. Qiao also responded: "I heard that the Marquis of Yangdi got a rare object called Yuan's waterwheel, so I just went to have a look today."

Yang Dihou?

Although Xiao Qiao has lived in her boudoir for a long time, she also knows that this Marquis of Yangdi is the title conferred on Yuan Shu by the imperial court.

Immediately, he felt a little vigilant in his heart, looked at Mr. Qiao with a pair of bright eyes, and immediately asked, "What is this Yuan's waterwheel?"

Qiao Lao also smiled when he heard it: "It is a kind of material for irrigating the cultivated land. Today I specially tested it in front of Mr. Yuan."

Anyway, this Yuan's waterwheel must be spread, and Mr. Qiao has nothing to hide.

Mr. Yuan?

Xiao Qiao keenly grasped the point of the sentence, and asked directly: "Then Mr. Yuan also came to Lujiang."

Qiao Lao knew that he was quick-talking, and he missed it for a while, but his face did not change, he just nodded indifferently, and simply replied: "That's right."

After hearing such a simple answer, Xiao Qiao still wanted to ask again, but saw her sister walking over.

Big Qiao obviously heard what the two of them said, but the point of attention was completely different from Little Qiao's.

But the first thing that Big Joe said was: "Is the waterwheel really useful?"

Old Qiao's face became softer when he heard this, and he said with some relief: "Whether it is useful or not, the fact that the Yuan family wants to fight the drought is already irrefutable. As long as the Yuan family has this heart, it is the common people's responsibility." Blessed."

Da Qiao nodded softly, but didn't ask any more questions.

This temperament is much softer than Mi Zhen's.

Seeing the relieved expression on her old father's face, Xiao Qiao always felt weird in her heart.

I just feel that there must be something between my father and Mr. Yuan.

It's just that what kind of thoughts does my father have, if I want to hide it from myself, I really can't dig it out.

Hey!

You have to find out this secret by yourself!

Anyway, my sister is unreliable!

The benefits of having Yuan's waterwheel are obvious.

With the development of agriculture, the cultivated area continues to increase, and the wheel can no longer meet the increasing irrigated area.

Yuan's waterwheel can speed up irrigation efficiency and more conveniently raise water from low to high.

More importantly, what Yuan Shu provided was not just a water tanker, but also a kind of care for the common people from state bureaucrats.

Since the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the people in Huainan have never experienced such love.

Especially now that Yuan Huan is shouldering a heavy burden, Jian Yong and Sun Gan are working together to focus on farming.It can be said that he forgot to sleep and eat, day and night, without stopping for a moment.
