Great Wei scholar

"Popularize the function of the water wheel, and praise you in various ways. Even Nanyu Prefecture has some craftsmen who have made some small molds to show the common people what the function of the water wheel is, publicize the benefits of the water wheel, and serve You speak well."

"Nowadays, the people all over the capital are praising that this waterwheel is beneficial to the country and the people, and they are also praising your lord, you are really very smart."

Zhao Da said excitedly, and Zhao Er who was beside him couldn't help but quickly interjected.

"It's not just this, Mr. Xu, there is another point. It is rumored that you built this waterwheel at the beginning because His Majesty fined the people of Nanyu Mansion [-]% of the tax, so you made it in order to compensate the people. "

"Now the common people praise you again for your sincerity for the people."

Zhao Er added that it was precisely because of this sentence that the common people believed that the waterwheel was a good thing, and that it was made by Xu Qingxiao.

"Is there such an exaggeration?"

Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.

To be honest, Xu Qingxiao has no idea about the level of the common people, after all, someone spread rumors in advance.

As the old saying goes, rumors can be spread quickly, but rumors can’t be dispelled quickly.

I was ready to run away, but what I didn't expect was that the people supported me so much?

This was unexpected.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, my lord. If you don't believe me, go outside and have a look."

Zhao Da said firmly.

"Alright then, you wait here for me."

Xu Qingxiao really wanted to believe that seeing was believing, not because he didn't believe these two people, but because the matter was of great importance.

Just after returning, Xu Qingxiao left again.

However, he deliberately wore a bamboo hat, for fear that the people would recognize him.

Xu Qingxiao went directly to the restaurant, where he could hear the news of [-]% of the Great Wei Jingdu.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qingxiao came to the restaurant, ordered a pot of wine casually, and sat in the corner.

Indeed, as soon as I sat down, I heard many people talk about themselves again.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Xu is really dedicated to the people. His Majesty fined Nanyu Mansion [-]% of the tax back then. Mr. Xu sympathized with the people and felt that he was ashamed of the people, so he built this waterwheel."

"I have a distant relative who sent me a letter a few days ago. You see, this can't be faked, right? The letter clearly stated that my relative is farming for a living. The harvest was so-so before, but now I have turned it over. Because of the water source, he also used the waste land."

"Now the whole Nanyu Mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it's more lively than New Year's Eve. If you don't believe me, you can go to Nanyu Mansion to have a look."

A man spoke with a loud voice.

At the same time, hold a letter and show it to everyone.

Many people came over and glanced at the letter, and then there was a discussion.

"It would be someone else, I absolutely don't believe it, but I believe Master Xu, he is wholeheartedly for the people, hates great scholars, troubles the Ministry of punishment, kills the king of the county, and removes female businessmen, which thing is not for us ordinary people? If the car was made by Mr. Xu, it must be something that benefits the people."

"Yes, Mr. Xu is dedicated to serving the people, so he must have built this waterwheel."

The common people opened their mouths to support, but soon someone was full of curiosity.

"Then why do some people say that this thing is useless?"

As soon as this remark was said, it directly attracted a lot of discussions.

"It's not easy? How many people has offended Mr. Xu for the common people? There must be someone secretly doing bad things. Such a thing that benefits the country and the people will be destroyed by these people."

"Yes, yes, there must be someone who wants to harm Mr. Xu, we must not be fooled."

The people supported Xu Qingxiao almost unconditionally. As long as it was something made by Xu Qingxiao, then it was a good thing. If someone said it was not good, then this person had a problem and wanted to murder Xu Qingxiao.

This is what the common people think now. After all, what Xu Qingxiao has done is vivid in his mind. Everyone knows that Xu Qingxiao is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people, and even makes a statement for the sake of the people.

"Then why did you say that this thing was made by Li Yanlong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry? I'm really confused?"

Someone spoke again, full of curiosity.

"In addition, it must be Li Yanlong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who saw that this thing is excellent, and wanted to show it in front of His Majesty, and robbed Master Xu of the credit."

"Yes, there is this possibility. Anyway, Li Yanlong is not a good guy. I must not be blinded. If Li Yanlong dares to admit that this is something he created, we big guys must make trouble. It is impossible for Mr. Xu to do it. If you do something good, you will not get any good.”

"Yes yes yes, what you said is correct, this Li Yanlong, as a Shangshu, is so shameless, robbing Lord Xu of the credit, not a son of man!"

"Yes, not as a son of man."

The common people seemed filled with righteous indignation and scolded Li Yanlong severely.

Xu Qingxiao was a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain something for Li Yanlong, but he couldn't say it after thinking about it. What if they explained it, and they misunderstood that Li Yanlong threatened him?

Ugh.

Master Li, you should take the blame for it, it's better than bringing disaster to the country and the people.

After confirming the people's thoughts, Xu Qingxiao was both moved and happy. As expected, the hardest thing will be rewarded. I thought it was the hardest thing, but I never thought it would be the easiest thing.

Get up and leave.

Xu Qingxiao returned to Shouren Academy.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Xu Qingxiao asked Li Guangxiao to add extra food.

His Majesty asked him to finish it in one day, but it took him less than half a day to solve everything.

If it weren't for the princes who insisted on dragging themselves to drink, it is estimated that they would not be able to go for half a day.

"Hey! The sky is not born to me, Xu Qingxiao, the great Wei is like a long night."

Xu Qingxiao muttered to herself.

The three major forces have all been resolved, and now they only need to wait for the court tomorrow, but Xu Qingxiao still needs to prepare one thing.

Complete waterwheel drawings.

Yes, complete waterwheel drawings.

There are three drafts of the waterwheel. The first one is in the hands of Li Xin. This one lacks some related parts. These parts seem to be of little use, but they actually contain a lot of things.

The water trucks in Nanyu Prefecture can be used for half a year at most, so there will be several problems, one is the fixing problem, and the other is the transportation problem.

A button is needed for stability, but this button is very important. Without this button, people in other countries will have no effect even if they copy the waterwheel.

Once half a year is up, there will definitely be problems. At that time, we can only repair it or use other methods to stabilize it. If there is nothing to do, we have to fix it, which is a waste of manpower and money.

And the third part is a truly complete waterwheel, which can make the waterwheel run stably without any major problems and reduce labor maintenance costs.

Xu Qingxiao will not get this one for the time being, the second one will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry, and the third one will be handed over to His Majesty. After a year, His Majesty will order the Ministry of Industry to build it and install it on the waterwheel.

In the first year, it was necessary to spend manpower to deal with this matter, that is, to let people from other countries see it.

In this case, these people from other races and countries would only think that the waterwheel is a bit tasteless, and they also think that Wei Wei came up with a whimsical thing.

But Wei can develop secretly on his own, it doesn't matter whether he will be discovered or not, the point is to delay the degree of plagiarism in other countries.

Even let them feel negligent, in this way, Da Wei can develop steadily.

Xu Qingxiao's favorite thing to do is to keep a hand.

It is impossible for him not to know that Wei has spies from the enemy country, so it is best to hide it.

Of course, it is also possible that the enemy country has a genius who guessed this, but it doesn't matter, after all, this thing can't be hidden, and Wei really wants to develop, so if you copy it, you can copy it.

Inside the study.

Xu Qingxiao drew the blueprints.

However, an hour later.

Outside the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty.

A carriage came slowly and appeared at the south gate of Kyoto.

The entrance of the South City Gate is full of traffic, coming and going all the way, coming in and out, this is the capital of the Great Wei, the core of the Great Wei, how many people enter the city every day, and how many people leave the city every day.

All the time it seems to be extremely prosperous.

At this moment, a figure came out from the carriage.

As this figure walked out, for a moment, countless eyes focused on this person.

This is a man.

Wearing Qingyun Splendid Embroidery White Robe, just looking at the surface of the material, the top-quality silk, looks extremely smooth, like clouds and water.

But what is really shocking is that the man is very young, in his early 20s, with snow-like skin and extremely beautiful face.

Yes, it is extremely beautiful, extremely handsome.

The facial features are exquisite, the eyes are full of stars, the gentleman is modest, gentle and moist like jade, the face is like jade, the gentleman is unparalleled.

Coupled with the temperament of Confucianism and Taoism, the word "peerless" is vividly set off.

Although he doesn't have much, but from this appearance, it can be seen that this person is absolutely extraordinary.

"Hua Xingyun, he is Hua Xingyun."

"Hiss, Hua Xingyun is so handsome?"

"So he is Hua Xingyun."

"This person's face, for some reason, feels more beautiful than a woman's."

"A man's face and a woman's face are unique in the world."

"No wonder someone once said that Hua Xingyun once fascinated all the girls in the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty. It seems that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Yes, yes, with such a face, even a grown man like me has an indescribable feeling."

"Brother, don't be disgusting, okay?"

"Hua Xingyun is so handsome, ah, I fell in love with him."

"I fell in love with him too, he's so handsome!"

The people all froze in place, and some people recovered and started discussing, but most of them still seemed a little shocked.

Especially some women stood there in a daze, their eyes full of obsession.

One thing to say, how many women in this world don't like handsome men?

Being with an ugly man is life.

Being with a handsome man is every woman's dream.

What about scum?I am not afraid of being handsome and scum, but I am afraid of being ugly and scum.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Hua Xingyun was very calm, he has been like this since he was a child, as soon as he appeared, he was the focus of the whole world.

He's used to it.

So no discomfort.

After getting off the carriage, Hua Xingyun stood behind the line, and a woman stood beside her. The woman was also extremely beautiful, wearing a long light red dress.

"My lord, let's go directly to another path. Your body doesn't need to line up with them."

The woman opened her mouth and reminded Hua Xingyun that she could follow the official path.

However, Hua Xingyun shook his head, speaking in an extremely gentle voice.

"No, just this way."

If he said a word, the latter would remain silent and accompany him quietly.

The line was very long, and it took a full hour to arrive at Hua Xingyun, and the city history at the gate hurriedly got up to greet him.

Hua Xingyun handed over Lu Yin, everything behaved well, and he was very gentle when speaking with others, which made people feel good about him.

After checking the formalities, Hua Xingyun's maid stopped a carriage.

"Excuse the coachman, go to Shouren Academy, thank you."

After getting into the carriage, Hua Xingyun opened his mouth and said with a smile.

The coachman was a little startled, firstly because of Hua Xingyun's appearance, secondly because Hua Xingyun was going to Shouren Academy, but soon he came back to his senses and rode away.

But after Hua Xingyun left, many voices also sounded.

"Hua Xingyun is really here."

"What is he going to Shouren Academy instead of going to the Great Wei Palace? Could it be that he's going to trouble Xu Qingxiao?"
