Daqin Engineering Corps

So there was basically no problem in the general direction, and the remaining Shen Bing spread out the blueprints that had been drawn in front of him, and everyone crowded up to copy them.

Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Bing let out a "hmm":

"Finally, I do not have a wife yet."

"Who said just now that the family has a daughter to marry?"

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you:

"Have it?"

"is it you?"

"I didn't, who said that?"

"The engineer must have heard it wrong!"

……

Walking while talking, birds and beasts scattered in a short while, and Shen Bing couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Don't bring such a thing?

You are all court extension officials, so you can't count your words like this.

Shen Bing regretted it too much.

Next time if I invent something again, I must get the "daughter" first.

On the other side, Wang Jian was still dealing with Xu Ying carefully.

This is not to be neglected at all.

Although the irrigation problem has been solved by Bing Shen...

Thinking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help but despise himself severely.

Then Shen Bing can improve the catapult mechanism to produce various fire bombs and even kill Li Mu, so what is the invention of a waterwheel?

How could I have forgotten him at the beginning!

But there is no loss now, the waterwheel is here, and the orange...let's put it aside for the time being.

There are still many issues such as farming and sowing, which still depend on Xu Ying.

In fact, these are not the most important, what is more important is that Xu Ying is a great farmer.

What is a farmhouse?

The peasant family is the school of "words for Shennong".

There are five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period and seven heroes in the Warring States Period in this world, but farmers from all countries are one family at any time.

Regardless of whether it is Zhao or Qin, farmers have to farm and eat, and they all hope that the cultivated land will have high yields, so they all believe that the farm is respected by the farm.

That is to say, Yingzheng granted Xu Yingwei to govern the drought in the three counties of Su Nei Shilai, which actually has another profound meaning: to stabilize the people's hearts.

How could Wang Jian not understand this truth, so he was very polite to Xu Ying and his party from the beginning to the end.

Wang Jian raised his glass to Xu Ying from afar and advised:

"Don't be in a hurry."

"Now that the engineer has made the waterwheel, let the engineer use the waterwheel to irrigate."

"If the waterwheel works, it shouldn't miss the farming season."

Xu Ying replied:

"I have seen it with my own eyes, and the waterwheel is certainly feasible."

"Not only is it feasible, but it's also many times better than Jujiao."

"There are waterwheels for irrigation, so I don't have to worry about missing the farming season."

Wang Jian secretly smiled inwardly, but his face was very serious. He pretended to say "Oh":

"I don't know... why is Neishi still fidgeting with a sad face?"

Xu Ying shook his head and sighed:

"Shen Bing is an outstanding carpenter with unique ideas and a unique style."

"If he can apply to my farm just now, it will be of great help to my farm."

"After my farm grows stronger, I can teach the people, so the beneficiaries are more than tens of millions?"

"It's a pity that Shen Bing seems to have no intention..."

Wang Jian replied:

"There is no need to worry too much about Nei Shi."

"After the farming season is over, I'll ask Shen Bing how he is doing on behalf of Neishi."

Xu Ying couldn't help being overjoyed:

"In that case, Xu Ying will thank the general first!"

Said to raise a glass and drank it.

How did Xu Ying know that Wang Jian's words were just a cliché.

If Wang Jian wanted Shen Bing to enter the farmhouse, why wait for the farming season to pass?No need to "ask"!

Shen Bing had to follow an order.

Chapter 87 Rollover

Xu Ying sincerely admires Shen Bing.

This can be said to be the charm of Xu Ying's personality.

Generally speaking, people who are called "great sages" or representatives of various schools are often superior in character.

Such as Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mozi...

They seem to be able to detach themselves and the times to see problems and life.

Xu Ying has similar qualities.

For example, when Shen Bing made a water tanker and compared it to Ju Mo, ordinary people were more out of breath, became angry and then walked away.

Xu Ying didn't do that.

Not only did this not happen, but he was delighted by the waterwheel and wanted to take Shen Bing as his apprentice.

The reason is that Xu Ying really wanted to save the people from suffering.

Because he wants to save the people from suffering, the waterwheel is of course a good thing, and Shen Bing is of course a talent.

As for personal honor and disgrace... so what is it?

Perhaps Ying didn't even feel that this was an "honor or disgrace" from the beginning to the end.

However, Zhang Ge is different.

That night Zhang Ge lay on the couch tossing and turning unable to fall asleep.

The eyes of Shen Bing looking at him kept flashing in his mind, recalling the scene where the waterwheel appeared, and the expressions on the faces of the people watching...

The more I think about it, the more unpleasant it becomes. The more I think about it, the more distressed I become.

You must know that the farm disciples have spent most of their lives in the fields!

How much bitterness I suffered and how many tears shed.

How many sleepless nights and contemplations.

Coupled with how many trials and failures, the orange was finally tossed out.

But Shen Bing casually made a waterwheel...

Not to mention that the waterwheel does not need manpower, and the speed of water delivery is much faster!

Is this what people do?

A bit of orange and a waterwheel are just a piece of rubbish.

Garbage in rubbish!

Fortunately, I was still showing off in front of Shen Bing, but I didn't want to, but it became a joke.

Thinking about it, Zhang Ge suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

Since the waterwheel relies on the momentum of the river to rotate, does that mean it cannot be used in a ditch?

Thinking of this picture, Ge Teng sat up from the bed and said "Wonderful".

If this is the case, Ju Mo will no longer be doing nothing.

The waterwheel is responsible for the water diversion of the ditches, and Takata above the ditches can only use oranges.

The two have their own strengths and weaknesses, so can they save some face for the farm family and themselves?

At that moment, Zhang Ge took advantage of the moonlight to rush to the cultivated field to observe.

Let's look at the waterwheel first... It's a shame that the waterwheel really does not need manpower to turn around day and night.

Then go deeper along the ditch, and when you find Takata, look at the ditch again. Although the water volume is sufficient, there is no momentum.

After confirming these, Zhang Ge was relieved.

It's just that after returning home, I was still too excited to fall asleep.

As soon as the sky dawned, Zhang Ge hurried to Xu Ying's place.

The living habits of the farmers are to go to bed early and get up early in strict accordance with the farmers' schedule.

Although Xu Ying is an internal historian of millet, he has always maintained this habit, getting up at dawn to prepare for eating.

In Qin Dynasty, breakfast was called "sushi" and dinner was called "twilight food".

If you have the conditions, you can kneel and eat in front of the table, if you can't afford it in the wild, you can just find a place to sit... Farmers don't pay much attention to etiquette.

Before Xu Ying took a few mouthfuls of food, Zhang Ge rushed to the front and cupped his hands and said:

"Sir, I thought about it all night, and found that there seems to be a shortcoming in Shen Bing's water wheel."

Xu Ying said "oh", raised his head and looked at Zhang Ge with a little surprise, and asked:

"What are the disadvantages?"

Zhang Ge replied quite proudly:

"The water wheel uses the momentum of the river to rotate and push the water up to the ditch."

"But what about Takada above the ditch?"

"Isn't it possible to build a waterwheel on top of the ditch?"

"The water flow in the ditch can't drive the waterwheel, so how can it lead the water to Takata?"

Xu Ying thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"It makes sense."

"However, the shortcomings do not conceal the advantages, and the waterwheel is still the best choice for diverting water into the canal."

"As for the Takata on the ditch, it can be solved with orange sticks. It's not a big deal."

It's really not a big deal.

Because there is water in the ditches, [-]% of the cultivated land irrigation problem can be solved, and the remaining [-]% ​​of the high fields can be solved by manpower.

But Zhang Ge didn't think so, he already regarded this as a battle with Shen Bing.

Even if Shen Bing can't be completely defeated, let others see that Ju Mo is not a waste, and Zhang Ge is not a waste.

So Zhang Ge asked for instructions:

"Sir, then disciple...go to Takata to build oranges?"

"It also saves the soldiers from the pain of carrying water in clay pots!"
