I engaged in modernization in ancient times

Apart from wanting Zhao Di to help build a pier, Mo Shaoheng wanted to.

He himself is also busy with spring plowing.

Whether it is soybeans, beets, peppers, peppers, or white radishes, planting needs to be expanded.

In addition, the wildflower seeds he spent a lot of energy buying last fall had to be sprinkled.

Of course, wildflower seeds cannot occupy cultivated land, and Mo Shaoheng plans to sprinkle them on several nearby hills.

Wildflowers, the ability to survive and adapt is unimaginable.

There is another extremely important thing, their canal is waiting for water, that is to say, the cultivated land around the canal will not lack water.

When Mo Shaoheng first bought seeds from merchants in foreign lands, there was a cart of rice among them, and it is still stored in the warehouse without moving.

What is rice?

It is a high-yielding crop that can replace corn as a staple food.

No matter how directional cultivation of corn, how to improve the yield, it is impossible to change the nature of its genes.

The particles are small and the harvest is low.

One ear of millet, most of which are shells.

Therefore, for Beiliang, rice is the real root cause of the phenomenon that Beiliang can't eat enough.

Among the many seeds that Mo Shaoheng bought, even cotton seeds or silk were not as important as rice.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and being able to eat enough is the real major event concerning the world.

Even though Liangjing seems to be much more prosperous now, the various places are still the same as before, and they can't develop at all. The most fundamental reason is that they haven't even solved the problem of having enough food.

Beiliang is poor and barren, and the world knows that the situation is exactly the same as the literal words.

Mo Shaoheng went to find Zhao Di again, "I heard that the sage is going to reclaim arable land?"

This matter has been settled, and the saint is going to use all the available land along the canal.

Mo Shaoheng said, "We're also going to buy some reclaimed land. It's best to buy the land that's closer to the canal, so it's easier to irrigate."

Zhao Di: "..."

Cultivated land is very valuable, and it is a symbol of the wealth of the nobles.

Zhao Di said, "The closer the cultivated land is to the canal, the better. Recently, the mansions in Liangjing are vying to buy it. I heard that the price is not cheap anymore."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Buying arable land now is probably the same as buying a house in modern times. There are still certain restrictions on buying a house in modern times, but buying arable land depends on who is more wealthy.

Zhao Di has no objection to buying cultivated land.

In Zhao Di's view, buying arable land is the most stable, and it is more worry-free than building some merchant ships that people can't see the results.

Zhao Di said, "Look at how much surplus we still have in our books."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, the money from last time was used to repair merchant ships, except for the repayment to the court.

But it has been so long, and there should be some income one after another.

Mo Shaoheng checked the accounts, and asked Zhao Di to inquire about the price of the new cultivated land.

result……

Now there are two choices in front of Zhao Di and Mo Shaoheng.

First, everyone knows that the closer the arable land to the canal is, the better it is, so the price is a bit high.

With Mo Shaoheng and the others' current income in the account book, they can't buy much.

The second is that you can buy a lot if you buy a little farther away from the canal.

Zhao Di said, "The farther away, the more farmers are needed to carry water for irrigation, which requires a lot of manpower."

The benefits are naturally diluted, so the price is much cheaper.

Mo Shaoheng rolled his eyes, "That's not necessarily true."

The trouble is that it is a little more troublesome, but it may not be really difficult to irrigate.

Mo Shaoheng said, "We'll just buy the ones that are farther away from the canal, maybe we'll take advantage."

Zhao Di was taken aback.

It's up to Mo Shaoheng, anyway, it's all land, so he won't lose money.

With a swipe of his hand, Mo Shaoheng called the steward and used all the money to buy farmland.

"However, when reclaiming the cultivated land, tell them that we bought so much, and the price did not make the imperial court less. Let the imperial court dig the land a little deeper when reclaiming."

He is going to reclaim it directly into farmland.

Steward: "..."

Soon, news spread that Mo Shaoheng had bought arable land with a large sum of money.Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di were not the only ones who bought arable land with big money, but the ones that others bought were all near the canal.

"What is your plan, sir?"

"can not understand."

"It takes so much effort to water it every year. It's a thankless task. I haven't seen any nobles with a little money buying such things."

"That's right, Mo Shaoheng bought so much once he bought it."

A good harvest may be beneficial, but if the harvest is not good, you may not be able to make money after excluding labor costs.

There was a lot of discussion.

When Mo Shaoheng bought so much cultivated land, the court gritted his teeth and agreed to Mo Shaoheng's request, and dug a little bit deeper. According to Mo Shaoheng's request, it was not too much trouble.

Now that the imperial court recruits people to dig the cultivated land, the wages of the workers are actually not too high, and the imperial court makes a lot of money selling the cultivated land.

It is worth mentioning that the wages of workers are still higher than before. Why?

Because a lot of workers have gone to Mo Shaoheng's factory, the number of people applying for land reclamation is actually much less.

Therefore, due to market demand, wages have also increased a little accordingly.

But it doesn't matter, the cultivated land cultivated this time is much more expensive than before, because... it is close to the water source.

When the people of Liangjing were discussing, Zhao Jingcheng and others came to the door like cats smelling fishy.

"Teacher, what is the use of buying such cultivated land?"

The eyes are sneaky.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, he really deserves to be taught by himself.

From a little bit of abnormal news, it can be seen that there must be a demon in the event.

Mo Shaoheng thought for a while and said, "Anyway, it's a business that can make a profit without losing money. If your family has spare money, you can also buy some."

Even if you don't grow rice, you can earn money by growing other things.

A group of students had sparkling eyes, but they were a little puzzled, "But... what about irrigation? No matter what, the cost is not small."

Mo Shaoheng smiled and said, "Of course I have a solution."

A group of students froze.

There is a solution?

Isn't such arable land similar to those near the canal?

At the current price, it will make more money.

A group of students laughed like thieves.

It was tacit understanding, and then ran into the house.

If someone told them that the watering problem could be solved, they would naturally not believe it, but Mo Shaoheng was in their hearts like a sea-fixing needle, and they had no doubts at all.

Then, people in Liangjing began to wonder, because many aristocratic mansions in Liangjing also began to buy such cultivated land, and there were quite a few of them.

Completely incomprehensible.

Mo Shaoheng bought arable land because he was planning to create paddy fields to grow rice, so he couldn't miss this year's spring plowing.

So...he went to supervise it himself, and asked Zhao Di to set up a relationship, first get his farmland out.

The dignified son ran to the construction site for reclaiming the land and guarded it every day, and there was probably no one left.

The ministers in the court were all puzzled, isn't it just some cultivated land, waiting to be reclaimed?Let’s wait a little later. Are you in such a hurry?

However, I heard that Mo Shaoheng was also the one who initiated the purchase of farmland by other nobles, and he didn't say much. After all, farmland with little profit is generally not very easy to sell. If it falls into the hands of the court, it will be a loss.

Mo Shaoheng went to supervise in person, because there is still a gap between the farmland and the cultivated land, and some places need to be paid attention to.

In addition, Mo Shaoheng had attracted so many "clients" to the imperial court, the officials in charge of land reclamation were happy and followed Mo Shaoheng's request directly.

It's been a long time since this happened.

The section of Zhaodi's canal to Liangjing has also come to an end.

A fairly decent pier also appears by the canal.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, from the nearest official road, the road is paved to the side of the canal, and a large section of flat stone slabs is paved on the side of the canal.

It looks like a horse-riding road leading to the canal.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know what the road was used for.

Until, this section of the canal ended and water began to flow.

One carriage after another drove towards the edge of the canal, and only then did they realize that this road was really easy to use. Originally, carriages could not pass or reach the river.

For the people of Liangjing who have never seen a river, it is naturally a big and rare thing for the canal to pass through the water.

Even the small shopkeepers, because it was a weekend, ran to watch the excitement in groups.

Mo Shaoheng ordered, pay attention to safety, don't get too close to the canal.

The small shopkeepers are usually in groups of several people, because they are young, they are afraid of being coaxed by others, and they all look at each other, and they are used to it.

As long as several people pay attention to each other, even if there is an accident, they can be rescued immediately.

Today, the pier by the canal is full of traffic.

A group of peddlers held the snacks Mo Shaoheng had prepared for them in their hands, and looked towards the canal with their heads stretched out.

"Why is there no water yet?"

"I've never seen a river. The prince said that although the canal is good, it is also dangerous. Let us be careful not to fall."

The people around are also discussing, and from time to time, they can answer a sentence or two with these little peddlers.

The small shopkeepers are already a part of Liangjing city, and they are also Liangjing people.

Mo Shaoheng arrived in the afternoon. Although the document said that the water will be open today, the journey is far away. Even if it is a surging river, it is impossible for it to flow here so quickly.

As soon as Mo Shaoheng arrived, a group of peddlers surrounded him, "My lord, there is no water yet."

Mo Shaoheng looked at the sky, "Waiting here all this time? Didn't eat?"

A group of small shopkeepers shrank their necks in shame, "We went back to the staff cafeteria, and came back again after eating."

They can be greedy, so they won't miss a meal.

"There are some common people who haven't even eaten."

Mo Shaoheng laughed.

A bunch of little ghosts.

In fact, even if you didn't wait for the water, you still had a lot of fun.

It seems that the meaning is not completely waiting for the water to flow.

In the afternoon, even the officials who had finished court came to watch the excitement.

"We should also bring our small goods drawers to sell steamed stuffed buns and pastries. The business will definitely be good." The small shopkeepers were still discussing.

Many people, as long as they shout, someone must buy it, but the road is far away.

Mo Shaoheng got into Zhao Di's carriage, "Can you see the river today?"

Zhao Di was actually not very sure, because it was the first time that the canal was open to water. He said, "Actually, the documents have been sent up. According to the documents, the gates began to be opened ten days ago."

"Just for safety, the gates are opened one by one."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, so as not to be surprised by the sudden influx of river water.

Zhao Di continued, "According to what the old craftsman said, we can see water today."

Mo Shaoheng gave a gracious expression.

Think of it as a spring outing out of town.

The grass is long and the eagle is flying. It is the best weather in Liangjing, and it will be hot again after a while.

In the evening, there was a sunset glow in the sky.

At this time, the pier, which was still lively, suddenly became noisy.

"Water, I see water." Someone shouted.

what?

There was an uproar in an instant.

Tiptoe tiptoe, stretch head stretch head.

Looking into the canal, in the distance, there is not much white water, flowing like a slow stream.

That picture, I am afraid, will remain in the hearts of everyone present for a lifetime.

"The water is flowing, the water is flowing."

The roar of excitement shook the sky.

The canal in Beiliang is open to water.

Someone ran out of the pier, the edge of the canal was very long.

Even ignoring the bumps on the ground, they ran with the current.

"I'm coming."

Not everyone is so active, for example, Mo Shaoheng's small shopkeepers, they are afraid of being squeezed out, they live such a good life now, they don't want to be abducted, so obediently follow Mo Shaoheng's instructions, Standing there, looking up.

Of course, since they are children after all, it is impossible to really stand still, but to hug each other and raise them up.

"Ahhh, I saw it, I saw it, the river really came."

I'm too excited.

"It's your turn to lift me up, let me see it too."

Spring water is like flowing.

Indescribably elated.

In fact, there is no need to run over to squeeze, because the river quickly flows along the river.

finally converge at the tail.

The speed is very slow, and you can't even feel the rise of the water level, but everyone knows that the river is constantly coming.

According to the master craftsman's plan, the gate will be opened for fifteen consecutive days, and then closed day by day until there are three gates left.

In this way, there are only three gates for replenishing water sources, which can offset the amount of river water that is evaporated every day and consumed along the way.

Then, according to the specific water level line, control the gate and adjust the water level.

At the end of the canal, several small streams are connected. First, it can provide sufficient water for the cultivated land around the small streams. Second, as long as the speed of the water flow is controlled, the canal can appear to be flowing all the time. state.

Although these small streams are small, they flow long and thin, and they also lead to another big river outside Beiliang. It's just that they often stop flowing because of the heat, which forms a cycle.

It is getting late now.

The excited people were not allowed to go back to the city. This was because there was no curfew in Liangjing, otherwise many people would not be able to go back.

They were still discussing along the way.

In the next few days, the people still came to see the canal every day, because the water level was higher and higher day by day, until it formed a wide river, until the water level exceeded the predetermined level, and the excess water began to flow into the small stream.

The growth of the water level has also slowed down. It should be that the source has started to throttle, which slows down the influx of river water.

For the first time, a big river with wide waves appeared in front of the people of Liangjing.

It was no longer the creeks and streams they saw that often stopped flowing.

With so much river water, how much arable land has to be irrigated.

Some people even started to cry. Do you know the feeling of guarding the cultivated land but not being able to cultivate it?

Maybe if you haven't experienced it, you will never understand their mood at this time.

The hall is also full of enthusiasm.

In the past, when it came to spring plowing, the most worrying thing was the shortage of water sources.

But now, this problem has been solved from the root.

"Protect the water source, and try to protect the spring plowing." The saint's voice is also a little strange.

Zhao Di replied, "Officials are monitoring the canal along the way. If there is any situation, they will send a letter to report immediately."

"At the source of the canal, there are also several old craftsmen on standby to ensure that the canal will continue to flow."

Baiguan nodded involuntarily.

Yan Wang's work is still very reassuring.

At this time, Mo Shaoheng was also extremely excited.

He is drying the farmland.

The newly reclaimed farmland needs to be sun-dried, which can kill pests and bacteria that are afraid of temperature, and reduce pest damage to crops.

Don't underestimate this step, it is especially important, and it is an indispensable step in the process of modern farming.

Then it is fertilized field sterilization.

The newly plowed fields are very barren, that is, there is no fertility.

The field must be fertilized, otherwise the crops planted may not even bear fruit.

This step is still pouring the charcoal ash that is usually used for cooking into the field, one is to fertilize the field, and the other is to sterilize.

Now there are two more questions.

The imperial court has only given him a few pieces of farmland he bought, and the rest is still being cultivated.

This is not a big problem, because rice has to be bred first, and he can use these few fields to get the seedlings out first.

Just give him the rest of the farmland before the seedlings grow.

Now the problem is, irrigation.

Farmland is not ordinary cultivated land, it requires more water.

Relying on buckets of water for farmers to carry water to irrigate, it is estimated that people are exhausted and cannot be satisfied.

When passing by the side of the canal, some nobles who came to train the fields asked Mo Shaoheng, "My lord, how do you irrigate those strange fields of yours?"

In their eyes, Mo Shaoheng's sunken cultivated land was indeed a little weird.

"My son should have bought the one by the canal in the first place. Although it is more expensive, it is convenient."

"Look at ours. Irrigation has already started, and we can plant them this year."

Indeed, farmers have already thrown buckets into the canals, brought water up, and started irrigating the land.

Because it's not far away, it's really convenient.

It can be regarded as the cultivated land with the best conditions around Liangjing.

Mo Shaoheng smiled, "Of course there is a way. My farmland, um, arable land, will also be planted this year."

The visitor couldn't help being stunned: "..."

impossible?

Mo Shaoheng's cultivated land is not close to the road, and now it is the spring plowing period, so many farmers are looking for help with watering, but they may not be able to find anyone.Others are to water their own land.

Mo Shaoheng didn't answer, but went back to Bird Clothes Lane and found Uncle Yu.

"Uncle Yu, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"I have to get a water wheel that uses the canal to irrigate the fields."

Mo Shaoheng decided to buy these farmlands at the beginning because he thought of the waterwheel.

The waterwheel, with a history of thousands of years, is a sharp tool for watering.

It is a symbol of hard work and wisdom.

In the past, as long as there was water and land needed to be irrigated, there would be waterwheels.

Such a sharp weapon also contributed to China's farming civilization.

Its importance can be imagined.

For such a sharp weapon, it stands to reason that Mo Shaoheng should go to the imperial court first.

But now the urgency is too great. If the letter was first submitted to the court, discussed in the court hall, and went through the documents and procedures in the six departments, the spring plowing would have passed by long ago.

Moreover, just talking about waterwheels with words is a bit boring.

Let's get one out first, water some of his farmland first, and get out the seedlings.

This is also the most direct way to show the specific use of the waterwheel to the court.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Uncle Yu, please take a look."

"The waterwheel is like this, it's like the wheel of a carriage, but much bigger..."

"It is not drawn by horses, but by the flow of the river water through the canal."

"The river water pushes the fan blades of the waterwheel, and there are water tanks with a certain slope on the fan blades, so that every time they turn, the water tanks scoop up the water and flow to the ground next to the canal."

In fact, it is necessary to dig a small ditch on the side of the canal, so that the water brought by the waterwheel will flow along the ditch to the farmland. This is the overall irrigation system of the waterwheel.

But... Around the canal, where is it allowed to dig without permission.

If the embankment of the canal is dug, oh, it will be a death penalty.

Of course, Zhao Di is in charge of the canal, which is much more convenient. To dig a reasonable ditch, Mo Shaoheng can go to Zhao Di.

While drawing the picture, Mo Shaoheng explained his needs to Uncle Yu, "Uncle Yu, do you think it can be done?"

Uncle Yu was a little surprised, not because of how difficult the waterwheel was, but because of Mo Shaoheng's thoughts.

This water wheel is actually the principle of a large wagon wheel, but after a modification on it, it can be used for irrigation.

Uncle Yu's eyes lit up, he probably knew why Mo Shaoheng insisted on buying so much cultivated land not close to the canal.

Because of this waterwheel, it seems that the distance is not a problem.

Uncle Yu said, "I will refer to the details first, mainly how to fix such a big wheel and how to install it in the canal."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, because Uncle Yu's two problems were not that the waterwheel itself could not be made, but other difficulties.

Then, Mo Shaoheng went to Zhao Di about digging the ditch.

Time passes day by day.

Mo Shaoheng was also a little anxious.

The court began to hand over the farmland he bought piece by piece to him, but the waterwheel has not yet been produced.

If the season is missed, rice can only be planted next year.

Fortunately, within a few days, Uncle Yu had someone notify him to go to the shipyard.

The waterwheel is built in the shipyard because it is close to the canal.

When Mo Shaoheng arrived, Uncle Yu greeted him directly, "Okay."

"It has been delayed for some time. The main reason is that there is a shortage of waterproof and anti-moth paint. If you rush into the water, it will be easily corroded."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, "It's fine if you can get it out in time."

"What's the progress now?"

Uncle Yu replied, "Just waiting for the installation."

"I've already found someone who can swim."

Mo Shaoheng nodded.

When you come to the river, the huge waterwheel is already there.

To install a waterwheel, you need to drive pilings underwater, which is actually quite troublesome.

Uncle Yu directly used a small wooden boat and tied the wooden boat to the river bank with ropes.

Then the sailor took the sharpened wooden stakes, stood on the small wooden boat, and directly drove the fixed stakes into the river.

Of course, it is impossible to drive piles in the middle of the river, the water is too deep.

It is not necessary, otherwise, how would the waterwheel pour the scooped up water into the ditch by the river.

It's working by the river.

The water on the river is shallow, and there are small wooden boats, which is very convenient.

The sharpened wooden stakes are driven into the bottom of the river, and then set up to form a frame, and the waterwheel is placed on these frames.

As long as the frame is built stably, the waterwheel is naturally stable too.

It took several days just to drive the stakes into the bottom of the river, even if it was just on the river bank.

Then it’s time to mount the waterwheel. The shaft of the waterwheel is on a stable frame, which is much simpler.

After the waterwheel is set up, push out a peg hard. This peg is to keep the waterwheel from turning.

Wait until the embolus is removed.

The fan blades of the waterwheel shook twice, which was due to uneven force, resulting in insufficient hydraulic power.

But immediately, the waterwheel turned like the wheels of a carriage.

The white water splashes were lifted into the air with the fan blades of the waterwheel, sprinkled in the sun, and flowed into threads like bead curtains.

The blades of the waterwheel do not rotate fast, but they are very stable and at a constant speed.

In addition to the white drops of water dripping from the fan blades, the water tanks on the fan blades also scooped up large tanks of water.

Because the tank is slightly inclined outward, the water in the tank naturally flows to the side of the canal as the tank rises.

It just flows into the ditch dug on the side of the canal.

Seeing the stream of water flowing into the ditch without rush or slowness, even the installation workers were stunned.

Because they know where the ditches go.

The small ditch leads to the cultivated land that used to require countless manpower to irrigate.

The land is irrigated without even manpower, because some small tributaries can be opened around these ditches and flow to where it is needed.

As long as ditches are not dug around the canal, there are no such strict requirements in other places. The only thing that needs to be planned is that these ditches near the canal will not affect the embankment.

Mo Shaoheng also smiled, "It's done."

Water wheel irrigation system.

Now this ditch leads to his farmland.

He will be able to grow rice in no time.

However, he had to go to the imperial court first to report the waterwheel irrigation system.

Mo Shaoheng took a look at his farmland before leaving.

The water is flowing, not bad, not bad, his field will be irrigated soon.

When Mo Shaoheng went to the court, the surrounding people also went to see Mo Shaoheng's waterwheel.

Because of the heat of the canal, people would come to see the canal from time to time. Mo Shaoheng and the others installed the waterwheel so loudly that someone naturally noticed it.

When they walked in and took a look, they couldn't help being stunned.

I saw the big wheel by the river turning slowly, splashing water in all directions.

"The prince is busy with this rare thing these days?"

"It looks quite interesting, a little nice."

"I just don't know what it's for?"

Come closer.

Those who watched were speechless in astonishment.

I saw the waterwheel irrigating the surrounding land with endless water.

Didn't even use any human power.

Especially the nobles who are patrolling the land. The cultivated land near the canal is newly bought by him.

As a result, it turned out that his land didn't need to go to the river to lift water at all.

Scoop some water in this ditch to irrigate his cultivated land.

Moreover, the arable land is actually some distance away from the canal, that is to say, it is only necessary to open a small tributary on this ditch, and no one needs to go to the ditch to scoop water, and his land is directly irrigated, which is better than people irrigating Even better, after all, it is impossible for manpower to irrigate every day, but this ditch can.

"..."

He was dumbfounded.

and many more.

With this ditch, wouldn't the distance from the canal not affect the convenience of farming?

He patted his thigh, "I should have known that I would have bought some cultivated land farther away."

cheap.

But in any case, this ditch can also help him irrigate, and it doesn't seem to be a disadvantage.

At this time, Mo Shaoheng was talking freely in the Golden Palace.

"The waterwheel irrigation system is an irrigation mode automatically provided by the waterwheel."

"It will greatly liberate the use of manpower."

"It can irrigate land that couldn't be irrigated before."

"Compared to human power, it can provide water for the land all the time."

Everyone: "..."

Even the saint was dumbfounded.

Automatic irrigation?Don't need manpower?

Do you know how much manpower Beilianghua needs for irrigation every year?

The cooler and hotter the north, the more irrigation is needed.

Every time, people carry buckets, and then use ladles to pour water to the roots of the crops one by one.

Are you tired?

That kind of tiredness is unimaginable.

But at this time, Mo Shaoheng said that liberating the labor force, there is no need to do this in the future, and even the land that cannot be irrigated can be irrigated.

Mo Shaoheng looked at the quiet Golden Palace, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the side of the canal and have a look."

"A water truck has been set up there, and it is constantly watering the surrounding cultivated land tirelessly."

Everyone: "..."

All the time, without fatigue?

They really have to see why this waterwheel is so amazing.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, the waterwheel is indeed miraculous, but you can understand it when you take a look.

Because the matter was so important, the sage went with all the officials himself.

Is this how many times the sage took all the officials out?

When they arrived, an unknown number of people had already surrounded there.

Strange sounds could be heard from afar.

When the sage and officials saw the waterwheel irrigation system that Mo Shaoheng was talking about, "..."

It seems that it is really irrigating non-stop.

This saves a lot of effort for the people.

It is not an exaggeration to call it an artifact of farming.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Please allow the sage to let the Ministry of Industry build waterwheels and install waterwheels at suitable locations on the canal to irrigate the surrounding cultivated land."

Everyone, people: "..."

Silent.

They thought that having a canal was already the biggest celebration in Beiliang.

But looking at the waterwheel now, it seems to be the perfect combination with the canal, born for farming.

This is the artifact of the country.

God bless Beiliang.

There was an uproar.

With canals and waterwheels, the grain production along the way may increase greatly.

A good harvest is just around the corner.

Harvest?

Saying this word in Beiliang used to be inconceivable.

But now, it might actually be possible.

The sage looked at it again and said, "The Ministry of Industry will build a waterwheel."

It seems like a plain sentence, but those who are familiar with it can still hear a trace of excitement in the voice of the saint.

Everyone was reluctant to leave, and they were still watching the water wheel that kept turning.

When Zhao Jingcheng waited to come, he squeezed in for a long time.

After looking at the waterwheel for a while, he ran up to Mo Shaoheng, "Fat, we bought a lot of cheap farmland this time."

Some students also slapped their thighs, "Let the government buy more, but they won't listen. With this waterwheel, there is no difference between distance and difficulty in irrigation. It's a loss, it's a loss, let them not listen to me."

Mo Shaoheng also smiled, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Jingcheng replied, "The news has spread to Liangjing, and it has spread so miraculously that those who hear the news probably still can't tell the truth from the fake. I guess more people will come later."

No, when Mo Shaoheng and his group returned to Liangjing, they met an endless stream of people on the road.

You can also hear some discussions among the people who returned together.

"God bless me in Beiliang. Now that I have canals and waterwheels in Beiliang, life will definitely get better and better in the future."

It's the kind that can be seen with the naked eye, and the days will get better and better.

"It's a pity, if only a few more canals can be built to flow through every corner of my Beiliang."

Baiguan: "..."

When a dynasty built a canal in the past, the people did not all have to live or die.

Fortunately, the people themselves want to build canals.

But it is indeed a pity that the canal alone is actually only half completed, and it will take at least two years to repair it.

In the future, I am afraid that there will never be such a favorable time and place for building canals.

Really sigh.

The people said again, "Speaking of which, the canal was built by King Yan."

"This waterwheel was made by Mo Shaoheng."

"It's all family."

"I used to think it was quite weird for two men to get married."

"But now, I think it's not bad."

"Look, it's a perfect match."

Baiguan: "..."

You didn't say that before, you used to see a lot of jokes.It was also strange in my heart, the pair of Mo Shaoheng and King Yan seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye, and the weird feeling originally caused by the combination of the two men seemed to be gone.

Things in this world are really unpredictable.

It's just a pity...

Two men can't have a baby, it's not the right way after all.

It's a pity for King Yan, it's really rare to see someone as capable as King Yan among the princes.

Back to the Golden Palace.

The attention of all officials.

The voice of the sage came from the superior, "King Yan's construction of water conservancy has achieved results."

"Mo Shaoheng contributed the method of waterwheel irrigation, which is beneficial to my Northern Liang."

"Give the King of Yan Zhao Di the Jade Seal of Supervising the Country."

hiss!

There was a sound of gasping in the golden hall.

The king of Yan used to supervise the country on behalf of the prince, but the jade seal of the supervisor belongs to the prince.

This……

It is the real power to supervise the country.

Well...subtle.

What about Prince Zhao Lan?

One dynasty and two supervising countries?

The point is that Zhao Lan only has the name of a prince and has no right to oversee the country.

But rebuttal?

The benefits of the built canal to Beiliang have already begun to be reflected now, let alone in the future.

The saint continued, "Give Mo Shaoheng the post of junior teacher and junior supervisor."

Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, less teachers and less supervisors?

This is the pre-official position of the junior division, one of the three divisions of Beiliang.

Because Mo Shaoheng used to be one of the Nanli Junior Teachers, one of the Nanli Three Teachers, so this position is somewhat delicate.

Mo Shaoheng was also taken aback, and was promoted two levels in a row.

The official system in Beiliang is very rigid, and promotion is not so easy. Unlike Nanli, Nanyi was ignorant before, and no one could stop him if he insisted on breaking the system and issuing imperial edicts.

Thank you Mo Shaoheng.

If it is said that the previous official positions were not big or small, but the young teacher and the young supervisor can already stand very close to the Golden Palace.

Waited for the next morning.

Some people came to congratulate, "It's really double happiness for you two today."

Mo Shaoheng had a smile on his face.

But looking at the congratulatory crowd, my heart tightened.

The wind in the court is changing.

In the past, because Zhao Di's personality was like an ice cube, no one would come forward to congratulate him.

Supervising the country... Is it the reason for the jade seal?

With the jade seal of Jian Guo, he is in the same position as...the crown prince.

This is a fundamental change.

While coping with it, Mo Shaoheng glanced at the location of the palace.

All the ministers are also guessing that the saint's mind may have changed, so they rushed to congratulate him.

In any case, today is a festive event. It is estimated that Yan Wangfu and Zhenbei Wangfu have started to prepare for the celebration after getting the news.

After dealing with everyone, Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di walked out, and Mo Shaoheng asked, "In the future, the threshold of the mansion may be trampled, what do you think about the sage granting you the Jade Seal of Superintendent?" ?”

Zhao Di frowned deeply, "It seems that something made the saint change his mind."

Even the officials felt it, and he, the client, was no exception.

Mo Shaoheng frowned.

What happened to change some of the minds of the sages?

How did Zhao Di get down from the position of prince?

Because the relationship between Beiliang and Nanli broke down, it intensified.

The common people became angry and pointed their finger at Zhao Di, who had the blood of the Nanli royal family.

The public grievances caused by the confrontation between countries are too great, like a will that can subvert everything, it is irresistible, and even saints may not be able to bear it.

Therefore, Concubine Tian had to step down from the back position, and Zhao Di had to lose the position of prince.

but now……

The saint wants to restore the relationship with Nanli,
