Infrastructure masters in the red building

With a wave of Jia's hand, the two guards he brought immediately brought a bronze pneumatic manual water pump over.

Jia Fang ordered people to set up the pumping machine on an earthen nest, and the earthen nest was filled with knee-deep water.Jia Fang tried it himself, shaking the handle of the water pump up and down, and after shaking it twice, water gushed out from the outlet on the other side of the water pump.

The water pump made by Baigongfang has a rather short water outlet, so Jia Fang ordered Zhao Cheng to find a split moso bamboo, one end was connected to the water outlet, and the other end led to the ditch that the refugees were digging.The water gushing from the water outlet naturally flows into the canal along the moso bamboo.

The refugees who were busy at the side were all dumbfounded, and someone shouted: "Come and see how to play!" Suddenly, a large group of people came from afar, and surrounded Jia Fang and the earthen nest in front of him. There are three floors inside and three floors outside.

Jia Fang: ...Do you dare to call this a trick?

The fourth prince was obviously also very interested in Jia Fang's water pump, regardless of whether the ground was soiled or muddy, he walked over and sat down next to Jia Fang, tilting his head and thinking about the form of the water pump.

Jia Fang shook the handle more than a dozen times, and the water in the soil nest obviously began to decrease.

The refugees around: "Really... what kind of trick is this?"

Jia Fang: ... What tricks, this is science!

He handed the handle to one of his nursing homes, pointed to the water pump and started the science popularization activity: "This is called a pneumatic piston manual water pump, and it uses atmospheric pressure..."

Jia Fang gestured and explained to the refugees that the space around them seemed empty, but there was a substance called "Qi", which helped to press the water into the water pump. The water is brought up, so the phenomenon of "water going to a higher place" appears.

Refugees: "Oh, I see, it turned out to be Qigong."

Jia Fang: ...

"But isn't qigong all about crushing boulders in the chest?"

"Who knows, I think this qigong that can press water is also very good, is it more effective than crushing boulders in the chest?"

Jia Fang: ... as long as you are happy.

At first, the complaining and muttering refugee with a loud voice became excited now, jumped into the pond, and asked Jia Fang: "My lord, can I try this pump...?"

Jia Fang's original intention was to let the refugees learn to use such equipment, of course there is no exception.

Immediately, the refugee rolled up his sleeves, imitating the appearance of the nurse, and pressed down the handle repeatedly, after pressing twice, water came out.

As soon as this guy changed his negative emotions just now, he laughed loudly and said, "What kind of qigong, it's not like my Wang Si also learned it..."

Not long after he was happy, the handle of Wang Si's hand got stuck, and he couldn't turn it, and the water couldn't be pumped out.Wang Si's face flushed immediately, he dropped the handle, and wanted to start cursing again.

Jia Fang had been prepared for a long time. He took out a small pot of tung oil, put the spout near the handle, moistened it a little, stretched out his hand and tried again, and the handle became free again.

"This is an instrument made of bronze," Jia Fang said loudly, "It is easy to rust every day, so after daily use, be sure to ask someone to wipe it dry inside and out with a dry cloth. Here, here , and here are some tung oil, so that this machine can be used for a long time."

Immediately, some refugees asked: "Xiao Langjun, you mean... this thing is for us to use?"

Jia Fang: "I don't want to use it for you. I shipped fifty pieces all the way from Beijing. Why?"

Cheers immediately sounded, and someone said: "This is saved, there are so many earthen nests, and the water will be drained in a blink of an eye."

"Then we have to repair the drains that Xiaoba talked about first!" Wang Si shouted.He stood up and raised his arms and shouted: "Guys, work harder, dig out the canal, and the water here will be drained in a blink of an eye!"

Although this Wang Si is good at distributing negative energy, he is not stupid. Looking at the water pump, he thought of other things: "Folks, with this thing that can pump water, we will return to our homes in the future and encounter this severe drought again." It may not be a complete harvest. Think about it, if we could have dug a few more deep wells and pumped out the water in the deep wells to irrigate the fields and plant some cold-resistant crops, we might not have ended up in this field..."

These words made everyone see hope: "Yes, after this catastrophe is over, let's go home. We really need to repair a few more canals and dig a few more wells..."

Jia Fang interjected next to him: "In case it gets flooded, you can do the opposite and pump the water out of the field!"

One word awakened the dreamer, and the refugees all showed joy: "This young master is talking about..."

"So, we don't have to be afraid of natural disasters in the future!"

Jia Fang smiled and said, "It's natural, man can conquer nature!"

But there are also people who don't think so, and say with a sad face: "I don't think it may be...we poor people, who can afford it?"

The personnel in the Donglu refugee camp are mixed, including self-cultivated farmers, tenant farmers, long-term laborers, and some small landlords and wealthy gentry. After the severe drought in the north, there was no harvest everywhere. Once everyone fled, who cares what your status was before.

Some of them have a little family background, and they are thinking at the moment, even if they sell two fields when they go back, they must find a way to buy two such pumps.There are also some poor people who are thinking that such a good utensil, I am afraid that I will not be able to use it in my life.

Unexpectedly, the fourth prince, who had been observing the water pump at this time, opened his mouth with difficulty, and said: "In the future, Guanguan Guanfu will buy these... If it is useful, you can ask Guanguanguan..."

Before he finished "official", Wang Si interrupted him: "Little stammer, you are here again, why does it always seem that the government will do what you said. Although you are here these days Here, the yamen servants do seem to take care of us, but you can't just promise this and that for the official like this!"

Jia Fang almost let out a "chick" laugh, and quickly lowered his head to hold back.

The fourth prince only lifted the corner of his mouth, but he was not angry.

The Fourth Highness supported his knees to stand up straight, moved his numb feet, and said, "Okay, okay, continue!"

Seeing the hope of completion, the refugees got excited to work for a while.

Jia Fang wanted to greet the fourth prince: "Four..." But the other party made a gesture and held back.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a small official in official uniform came running from a distance, and brought two yamen servants, ran over at a trot, and shouted as he ran, "Fourth Highness, Fourth Highness..."

The official ran to the front, seeing the fourth prince's description, he knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "I really didn't expect that His Royal Highness, the fourth prince, loves the people as much as a son..." The official also said Regardless of whether the ground is mud or water, with a bang, it knocked down with a bang.

The fourth prince glanced at Jia Fang, his eyes were innocent, as if saying: This is not the king's original intention.

But the actions of this official have a huge impact on the rest of the refugees.At this moment, the refugees all stopped their work, slowly put down the tools in their hands, and looked towards the fourth prince.

The most surprised one was of course that Wang Si, he was so desperate that he even took two steps in front of the fourth prince, pointed at the fourth prince himself in amazement, and asked in a trembling voice: "Little...little stammer, you, you are, You are..."

Suddenly a woman rushed up, covered Wang Si's mouth tightly, slapped him across the face, and cursed: "Wang Si, you bastard without eyes..."

Amidst the stern curses, the refugees around bowed down to the fourth prince one after another, and at the same time they were silently lighting candles for the fourth prince, thinking that this guy was destined to die soon.

"...No, I was blinded by following you. I said earlier that I was going to flee the famine, but my mother said to go west and cross the Yellow River. You insist on going east. If you went to the west earlier, who would suffer so much for you, Sanya Not so, not so…”

The woman spoke of the pain in the hearts of the refugees.They crossed the south of the river from the east road and stayed in the capital area for several days before waiting for the relief from the government and the construction of the refugee camp.During this period, outside the county towns of several counties on the East Road and outside the east gate of the capital, everyone supported them hard. Everyone has more or less experienced such tragic events as the death of a young child and the death of relatives and friends.

For a while, the area around the refugee camp was silent, only the woman was heard crying loudly.

Finally, the fourth prince spoke: "Everyone...you have all suffered."

Once the emotions are full, the stuttering symptoms of the fourth prince will be greatly reduced.His voice was low and low, so that the people around him could hear it, and there was a burst of crying.

"Thank you, Fourth Highness, for your sympathy!" the little official said with tears in his eyes, and the rest of the refugees followed suit, "Thank you, Fourth Highness, for your sympathy."

The fourth prince walked in front of Wang Si, the woman became timid at this moment, let go of her hands, and knelt down beside Wang Si obediently, but the tears kept falling like broken beads.

The Fourth Prince then asked the Fourth Wang: "I lost the third child...are there any other children?"

Wang Si seemed to be sleepwalking, and replied dazedly: "There are two more, a boy and a girl, the boy is ten years old, and the girl is seven years old."

The fourth prince nodded: "This king promises you that you, your wife and these two children will be able to survive this drought safely."

This time Wang Si finally learned his skills, and hurriedly knelt down to thank: "Thank you, Your Highness Si!"

He has called "little stutter" for so long, his intestines have long since turned livid with regret, and now he is kneeling upright, he probably wants to die already.But when he heard the other party ask him these two sentences gently, and promised to take care of their family, he was moved, but thinking of Sanya who was gone, tears burst out, covering his face, and wept so hard uglier than anyone else.

Jia Fang watched from the side, thinking: I am afraid that anyone who sees this Wang Si in the future will brag about his experience with the fourth prince, right?

He watched coldly, thinking that the fourth prince's stuttering might be more psychologically affected, otherwise he wouldn't be like this all the time, and his stuttering would be fine for a while.

The fourth prince comforted the fourth Wang and his wife, and waved to the refugees, encouraging them to finish the work at hand as soon as possible. In the evening, there will be gruel and steamed buns to eat.

After that, the fourth prince stretched out his hand behind him, and immediately a skinny man with white face and beardless handed over a towel, shoes and socks. The fourth prince didn't shy away from the eyes of others. Get up and prepare to leave.When he was about to leave, the fourth prince suddenly remembered Jia Fang, and waved his hand to greet him. When Jia Fang passed by, the fourth prince immediately asked, "Did Zi Fang just arrive?"

Jia Fang guessed that the fourth prince might have known his name from his father Jia Daishan, so he agreed immediately.The two of them walked together towards the county town far away from the refugee camp.

"You, what you just said, where did you come from?" The fourth prince asked Jia Fang, "Why has this king never heard of it?"

"Returning to Your Highness, this water pump was made by the skilled craftsmen of Baigongfang. Due to the heavy rain yesterday, Baigongfang estimated that the refugee camp might need it, so I asked the villain to bring this machine here, so that the refugees here will not suffer from the wet mud. .”

The fourth prince shook his head: "It's not this machine. What I want to ask is, what you said just now, qi... air pressure? Why does qi have pressure?"

He stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, and continued: "Qi is colorless, odorless, shapeless, and weightless. How does the pressure come from? If it is as you said, Qi also has pressure. Isn't there a big ball on my head? Angry? Why doesn’t this king feel the slightest bit?”

Jia Fang: Really?You are now at least hundreds of hectopascal atmospheric pressure on your head!

He had already thought about how to answer such a question, and immediately replied: "Your Highness, this is actually because the air pressure is everywhere, and the air pressure everywhere cancels out each other, so people can't feel this pressure during their stay."

"It's like being in water. People in the water can't feel the weight of the water. That's because the water pressure is everywhere and cancels each other out, so people don't feel it. But if they are not in the water, such as lifting water, carrying water, When water is lifted, that water has weight."

The fourth prince was suddenly confused by Jia Fang. After thinking for a long time, he felt that what Jia Fang said made sense, but it seemed that there was something wrong and could not be refuted. Finally, he sighed: "The children of the Rong family are really knowledgeable. Zi Fang... these high-ranking students By the way, where did it come from?"

"It's just some notes and miscellaneous books from the predecessors." Jia Fang is used to this kind of explanation.But if you think about it carefully, atmospheric pressure——the title of these contents seems to be called "Junior High School Physics".

"Miscellaneous books? Dare I ask... What is the name of this book?" The fourth prince was the first person Jia Fang met, asking him what book he had read.

Jia Fang: "It's an orphan book. After reading it, I can't find it anymore, but I think it makes sense when I think about it. The name of that orphan book...is called "The Principle of Everything."

""The Theory of Everything"?" The fourth prince suddenly raised his head and said suddenly, "I seem to have heard of this book."

Jia Fang: ...?

"If... If Zi Fang can find this book again, I will definitely borrow it to read it!"

Fortunately, after the fourth prince asked this question, he didn't ask Jia Fang any more.

The two walked together all the way, and the fourth prince asked Jia Fang what he thought of this Donglu camp.

"This king also knows that there are more... more than West Road, and it's not as good as it is. But, in my heart, I am anxious, and I don't dare to show it on my face..."

Jia Fang took a deep breath. To be honest, he had seen too many cases of construction sites that were in chaos due to poor management. Most of them were caused by the lack of project management posts or the lack of experience of the management posts.

So he first praised some of the goals that the East Road Liuminying has achieved, and then analyzed the objective reasons why the East Road is worse than the West Road. The specific tasks are assigned to specific people, and then a special person is responsible for supervising the progress, summarizing the problems, reporting them uniformly, and giving solutions.

Jia Fang was relatively daring to speak in front of the fourth prince. First, when he was working in another world, he had an assistant who stuttered a little. He was very used to speaking exactly like the fourth prince. Second, the fourth prince saw He is a person who is willing to do practical things. He is willing to take off his shoes and socks to personally patrol the refugee camp and assign tasks, so he does not seem to be a person who pays attention to superficial etiquette.

But Jia Fang still considered it for a moment, and said to the Fourth Prince: "Your Highness, the villain has something to say, like a bone stuck in his throat, so he can't spit it out."

Fourth Prince: "Spit!"

Jia Fang: Alright, look at this refreshing.

"Your Highness has a big responsibility, and you should have an overview of the overall situation. Don't focus too much on the details. Just like His Highness today, directing people to dig water canals in the refugee camp is good, but if you spend too much time like this, I'm afraid also……"

Jia Fang said this very directly, if he didn't think that the Fourth Prince was okay, he would never say such a thing.

Sure enough, according to Jia Fang's judgment, the fourth prince didn't care at all. He nodded and sighed, and said, "If you don't do it... If you don't do practical things, you can't see the love!"

This is a sincere emotion.Tianhuang is a nobleman, and he is not very old. If he really sits in the yamen all day long, he will be concealed by the people below if he is not in order.Therefore, Jia Fang is full of admiration for this young man who is not much older than himself.

"Besides, let's talk about it... This king is determined to be a practical and capable minister, and to share the worries of the present. It is necessary to learn these things one by one..."

"I really don't want to...be an insignificant person." He sighed suddenly.

"But, but you're right...Instinct is too focused on the details, and loses the overall picture...Pick, pick up the watermelon, throw away the sesame seeds!"

The fourth prince finished speaking fluently, turned to stare at Jia Fang, and the two looked at each other and smiled.Jia Fang suddenly had a feeling of "like old friends at first sight", as if he had known the fourth prince a long time ago.

The two went back to the county together like this, while Jia Daishan just rode over from the refugee camp in another county, and when he saw the fourth prince Natou, he bowed, and then he couldn't care less about Jia Fang: "Fang'er, here we come! Come on, someone just wants to see you."

When a group of people came to the county government office, a small figure saw Jia Fang, rushed out immediately, bowed down in front of Jia Fang, and called him "Benefactor".

Jia Fang glanced at the child: "Hey, it turned out to be you."

This child was exactly the boy who "sold his body to bury his mother" that he and Lin Ruhai had rescued in the capital.After Lin Ruhai and he rescued the mother and son that day, they guided them westward to the refugee camp on West Road, hoping that the mother and son could find a place to settle down.At this time, he saw that the boy was the only one, and immediately turned pale with fright, and asked, "Why are you the only one? Where's your mother?"

Could there be another accident?

The boy immediately grinned, showing both a happy and bitter smile, and said, "Blessing of Mr. Ton, my mother is married!"
