I was a gentleman in ancient times

Duanmutu's thoughts diverged, and he should report this matter as soon as possible.

No wonder he thought too much, the blueprints of the waterwheel that Wei Su took out were all cross-age things, which had never appeared in this world.

Only the skilled craftsmen of the Mohist school can have such ingenious ideas and create such ingenious things in this world.But if it was created by their Mohist family, it is impossible to hide it, even if it is not to the outside world, the Mohist children inside will not hide it.

Since he had never heard of any Mohist who came up with this thing, the only thing he could think of was another Mohist who lived in seclusion in the mountains and devoted himself to academic research.

At that time, when he saw the picture, he was already in doubt. Later, he heard Tao Fu's theory that he could direct the water from the lower place to the higher place, and he felt that the function of this thing could benefit the public.

He could understand what Tao Fu said, but Tao Fu couldn't give an answer to the deeper questions. He devoted himself to research for a few days, but he couldn't find it, so he came to him directly.

"Then what else have you heard from him?" Seeing that Wei Su shook his head anxiously, he sighed and changed the subject: "I have some questions that I don't quite understand, can you explain them for me?"

"The kid doesn't understand these things, and the guy who should say it has already told Mr. Yunshui. I'm afraid Mr. Duanmu will ask, and the kid can't do anything." Wei Su said cautiously.

Duanmutu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly the words came to his lips, not knowing whether he should ask or not.

Tao Fu was in a hurry, and urged: "If you want to ask, ask quickly, don't whine about it. Boy Wei, whether you can solve the doubt or not, you just need to speak out your own thoughts. As for whether it is useful or not, we will naturally We will consider and discuss it. This matter must be done well, otherwise solving the problem of water sources can only be empty talk.”

Having said all of this, Wei Su naturally didn't dare to answer, so he could only forcefully sit on his seat on his knees.

The questions Duanmutu raised were all the difficulties he encountered when making the waterwheel. If there is something that he can't figure out, it would be good if everyone can find a solution together.

Wei Su can also understand, after all, this is a new thing for them, and it is normal that many things cannot be imagined.

No matter what, Wei Su is much better than them in this aspect. Even if he doesn't understand something, he can understand the principle by substituting other things.

The three of them discussed for a long while, and of course they also had quarrels, so they managed to resolve the problem of the waterwheel.

"This should work. I'll do it after I get back." Duanmutu beamed, and couldn't hold back when he talked about the excitement.

Wei Su thumped his legs that were numb from kneeling, and suddenly said: "Mr. Duanmu, I have something to ask, I wonder if you can agree to it."

Duanmutu was happy, so there was no reason why he shouldn't, so he signaled him to just talk.

Wei Su was not polite anymore, "There is such a thing called a chair, it has four legs and a backrest at the back..." He said while gesturing.

Duanmutu didn't take it seriously at first, but later he sat up straight and listened intently.

"It's probably like this. The main person will be much more comfortable sitting and reading and writing like this. I wonder if Mr. Duanmu can do it."

The chair Wei Su mentioned was very simple, and he described it well. Duanmutu thought about it and asked a few more questions.Then he nodded and said: "There is no problem with this, I can make it in a short time when I find time, and I will send it to you when the time comes."

Wei Su was overjoyed, and bowed his hands, "Then Mr. Lao Duanmu will be here."

Duanmutu didn't say much, and couldn't wait to leave.The chair proposed by Wei Su is also a novelty that has never been seen before. Duanmutu is even more convinced that what Wei Su encountered back then must be another branch of the Mohist school.Unexpectedly, that branch has been much ahead of them after studying in seclusion.If we can find that one as soon as possible and combine the two into one, the Mohist family will grow even stronger.

Like chairs, waterwheels are new things.If it is created by him, among other things, his fame and status will be raised among the Mohist disciples alone, which is what their Mohist disciples dream of.

After sending Duanmutu away, Wei Su finally breathed a sigh of relief, and talked with the two of them, and he also improved a lot.

Seeing that it was getting late at this time, it would not be appropriate to go to the library to read books today, Wei Su was about to leave, but Tao Fu gave him a hard look.

"Well, Wei Xiaolang, leave all those tricky things to me, and you'll be at ease, and don't care about anything." Tao Fu blew his beard and stared.

"This..." Wei Su was also embarrassed, and Tao Fu was fooled by this matter.But don't blame him, isn't this a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer?A nobody himself, who would listen to him?The plan can only be fully implemented if the giant Buddha of Taofu is moved out.

So he pulled Tao Fu into the water, and he completely withdrew himself, and he didn't even think about asking about it.It's been so long, and he really doesn't know where the matter has come.

At this time, Wei Su was not easy to dodge others, so he could only say cheekily: "Isn't the kid leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade? With Mr. Yunshui here, what are you afraid of?" You should still care about this matter.Then he asked with a smile: "By the way, how is the matter going? I think it will go well with Mr. Yunshui."

No matter what, the high hat of speech skills should be arranged first, and the old man's hair must be smoothed, everything is easy to talk about.

Sure enough, Tao Fu looked a little better, and said with his hands behind his back: "Of course, the reservoirs in the two villages have been half built. When Duanmu, an elm lump, can make the waterwheel, it will basically be successful. "

He has been wandering around in the storage room these days. Although he thought that the progress should be good, he couldn't help being excited when he heard this, "That's really great."

Wei Su also hopes that it can be completed as soon as possible, and the troubles will be solved, so that everyone can benefit from it in the future.

Tao Fu glanced at him, hesitated to speak.

Wei Su was puzzled, "What's wrong with Mr. Yunshui? Just say what you have to say."

Tao Fu turned around a few times, and finally thought it over before saying: "After this matter, needless to say, you should also understand who will benefit the most. Although Tao tried his best to accept and lead this matter, he deserved it." , It’s still inappropriate for you to come up with all of this, but retreat behind the scenes.”

He felt guilty, for such a great event of benefiting the people, if it was publicized, it would definitely alarm the government and nobles like senior officials.If he came forward to lead this matter, then all the fame would fall on himself.But for Wei Su, who proposed this strategy at the beginning, it was of no benefit at all.

After Wei Su heard this, his face was calm. He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be like this.How could he not know the pros and cons of this matter?

The reason why he is willing to let go is because he is too young and has a bad reputation in the past. Even if he steps forward, who will listen to Huangkou's words?It can only be a joke.I should also devote myself to dormant, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, so that there will be infinite possibilities in the future.

Secondly, he didn't intend to take this matter as a step of advancement.Since he lives here, no matter what the previous owner was, at least he has the care of the villagers to have him now.No matter where he is in the future, this is his root, so he also hopes that the villagers can live well.

The reason why he chose Tao Fu was also considered. Although he didn't know his real identity, his fame and status were there, and the villagers respected him very much.With him making peace between the two villages, things will be much easier. After all, the two villages have been in conflict for a long time, and it is impossible to negotiate without someone with high morals.

Tao Fu explained the pros and cons of the matter clearly, and the villagers were naturally willing to believe him. Of course, the matter went very smoothly.

Wei Su smiled, waved his hands and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, the boy is just talking about it, Mr. Yunshui is the one who really works hard."

Tao Fu shook his head, "You can't say that, the old man is nothing at all." After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while and said: "This matter has already been reported to Mr. Liu, the magistrate of Baishui County, and it will not be a few days. Master Liu will come down to check, how about I recommend you to Master Liu?"

Such a matter is also a big deal in the village, and the government cannot sit idly by. If it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, the government will report it to the higher levels, and there will be rewards from above.

This was originally due to Wei Su's contribution, and Tao Fu considered himself a gentleman, and he didn't want to be greedy for credit, so he asked this question.

It's just that Wei Su refused. It's too early to make a name now, and he doesn't know much about many things. He really doesn't want to be exposed to others when he is fledgling, otherwise it will only expose his more shortcomings.Meals have to be eaten in one bite, and you can't become a big fat man by eating in one breath.

Seeing his refusal, Tao Fu was a little anxious, and hated iron but said: "Didn't you always want to be famous in the world? Now is a good opportunity, why are you not in a hurry?"

"In the past, the boy's thinking was too simple. The boy is still young and needs more time to enrich himself. I believe there will be more opportunities in the future, sir?"

It's really good for this kid to think like this, how many people can be indifferent in front of fame and fortune?In the past, it was always heard that this son was too impetuous to be used, but now it seems that others' words are not enough to be believed.

"But..." Tao Fu still had to continue persuading.

Wei Su said with a smile: "Sir, there is no need to say any more, I have made up my mind."

After finishing speaking, his eyeballs rolled around a few times, and he joked cheekily: "But if you really want to take care of the kid, why don't you let the kid find a job in Yunshui Private School, nothing else, the kid will be enlightened." I am still confident that I can teach books like this. Of course, this is just an unfeeling request from the boy. If this is difficult, sir, there are other ways to make money, as long as it is a civil job that the boy can do."

He can't do nothing, he can't do heavy work, and his old profession of teaching and educating people is still feasible.It's just that there are already candidates for professors in private schools, so I can't get in the way.Mr. Yunshui has a wide network of contacts, and he might have the opportunity to recommend him or her, which can not only subsidize the family, but also make his sister feel at ease.
