The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Under Tian Tuhu's persevering gaze, Xiao Jingyu put away the money and stuffed it into his bosom.This exercise also made him hot and sweaty, and he felt a little better.He jumped off the stage to make room for others who wanted to wrestle.

Back under the stage, Xiao Jingyu passed by the place where a group of people gathered, and then returned to the tent, and the others quickly followed behind him.

Several people were seated in the tent, Xiao Jingyu routinely asked what happened during his absence.Although some major events can be delivered in time, he still needs to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

After some conversation, Xiao Jingyu understood the current situation better.Some things are also well known.He also discussed and arranged some plans together.

After some conversation, Xiao Jingyu didn't rush them to retreat, but opened the box in the corner instead.Everyone looked curiously, but saw Xiao Jingyu coming out with two jars in his arms.

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Xiao Jingyu asked someone to bring a few bowls, and then lifted the lid, and the aroma of wine immediately overflowed.Now without Tian Tuhu opening his mouth, everyone knew that there were actually two cans of wine hidden in the general's tent.

They couldn't help but think of last year's winter, Tian Tuhu kept saying that there was wine in the general's camp that day.At that time, the general denied it, and they all thought there was no such thing.Unexpectedly, there was really wine in the tent.

While preparing to pour the wine, Xiao Jingyu said, "Although Tian Xiaowei can't drink a few jugs of wine, he can still drink a bowl of wine. It just so happens that I haven't had a drink with you for quite a while. Today I will show you my wine." How about it?"

Tian Tuhu smelled the aroma of wine and his eyes lit up.He volunteered and said: "General, how can I let you pour the wine! I will do the pouring."

After speaking, he grabbed the wine jar and poured wine into the bowls one by one.Seeing him sniffing the wine, Sun Fen quickly said, "Don't drool while pouring the wine! We just want to drink and not your saliva."

This made them laugh out loud.Tian Tuhu didn't care when he touched his mouth, and laughed along with everyone.After everyone filled their bowls with wine, the rest naturally belonged to Tian Tuhu.

Xiao Jingyu picked up the wine bowl and saluted everyone, and the others also returned their respects one after another.As soon as the wine enters the throat, everyone knows that it is a good wine.

Especially Tian Tuhu, who had been drinking countless times, said bluntly: "General, this wine is so strong, I don't think I've ever drunk it before. Where did you get it?"

When Xiao Jingyu heard this, there was a flash of tenderness in his eyes, and he said, "I didn't get it from anywhere, it was given by the princess."

Xiao Jingyu couldn't help thinking of the princess, wondering what he was doing now?

Tao Anran looked out the window at this moment, still thinking about the drought.He also grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and he also encountered droughts in summer.At that time, rice was planted in the fields, and once they saw that there was no water in the fields, everyone would be anxious.

At that time, everyone will bring water pumps and rubber pipes to the pond, and use electricity to pump the water up and transport it to the rice fields.The water outlets of ditches in the fields must always be strengthened.Sometimes there is not enough water, and everyone will inevitably have some disputes.But fortunately, at that time, everyone did not only live on the fields, but even if they were not good enough, they could also live on odd jobs.

He thought about the scene at that time, and it was indeed somewhat similar to the present scene.It's still early days, and the situation isn't that serious yet.But the farmers here really only depend on the fields for food, and pay more attention to the land.

But there is no electricity here, and no water pumps to pump water to grow crops.Tao Anran couldn't help frowning, is there any way to pump and deliver water without electricity?

A gust of cool wind blows outside the window, blowing away a trace of heat, making people's hearts less hot and dry.Feeling the wind, Tao Anran suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he thought of what to use to pump and deliver water.

There are many highlands in the northwest, just enough for water trucks to pump water from low to high.Although modern mechanized equipment is mostly used, water trucks are rarely used to pump water for irrigation.However, some scenic spots will deliberately build a waterwheel to pump water for the cultural landscape to add a little feature.

Tao Anran had once seen a person-tall water wheel "Gulu Gulu" pumping water slowly, and he had also seen a water wheel toy the size of a palm.Although the memory is a little fuzzy now, it should not be difficult to think about it carefully.

Tao Anran is full of confidence.He returned to the table, spread out the paper, picked up a pen and drew a circle, and then there were many supports from the center to the periphery of the circle.Then there seems to be a small bamboo tube on the outer circle for pouring water.Then it seems to work.

Looking at the stick figure on the paper, Tao Anran was a little silent.Who else could understand such a painting besides him?But no matter, try it first.

Tao Anran looked at Han Lu who was always by his side, and asked, "Han Lu, is there any skilled old carpenter in the house?"

Han Lu hurriedly replied: "Princess, there is no carpenter in the mansion. But there are several carpenters in the city who are good at craftsmanship. Does the concubine want to build some new furniture? Can someone invite them?"

After thinking about it, Tao Anran said, "Although I don't want to make furniture, I do have something I want to make. Go and invite an experienced craftsman to come over and let him see if I can make this thing."

Han Lu accepted the order with a nod, and an hour later brought two carpenters, one old and one young, into the mansion.Tao Anran met them in the side courtyard with the structure diagram of the waterwheel.

As soon as Tao Anran arrived at the courtyard, the two immediately saluted and greeted him.When he saw the old carpenter, he immediately turned sideways.He couldn't bear the big gift from the old man.After hastily getting people up, Tao Anran looked at the two carpenters.

From the looks of it, they should be a family.The other carpenter was supposed to be a son or something, middle-aged.In this way, it seems that carpentry is a family handed down craftsmanship, so the craftsmanship should not be bad.

Looking at the two people who were a little panicked, Tao Anran quickly said: "Don't be nervous. I came to ask you to help me build something. What's your last name and what's your name?"

The old carpenter quickly replied: "Princess Wang, my surname is Wu, and the neighbors call me Old Wutou. This is my second son. Because he is the second son, he is called Wu Er Er."

Old Wutou has been a carpenter all his life. With this craft, he married a wife when he was young and raised several children.The second child inherited from him and also has the talent of being a carpenter, so he also taught the second child.The two carpenters in their family usually make a living by making tables, chairs and cabinets in Yunzhou City.Because of his good craftsmanship and reputation, he lived a good life.

This time, someone came suddenly from the palace, although the person said that some nobleman wanted to hire a carpenter to build things.But although he had never seen the things in the palace, he knew that they were all delicate things.And he can only make some simple tables, chairs and cabinets. Thinking of this, he felt a little apprehensive, and he might not be able to do it.

But even though he was uneasy, the palace summoned him to go there.And the second child is also in the room, he has always had some ideas, and he doesn't know if it will work this time.Unexpectedly, when he entered the palace, he saw that the nobleman was actually the princess, and he became nervous again.How to build the exquisite things that my brother uses?

After hearing the answer, Tao Anran greeted him, "It turned out to be Master Wu. Both of you father and son are carpenters, so they must be very skilled."

Old Wutou quickly shook his head and replied: "I don't dare to do it, the old craftsmanship can only make some simple tables and chairs."

Old Wutou has lived most of his life, and his heart is like a mirror.If the neighbors in the neighborhood praised him for his good craftsmanship, he would be happy to eat an extra bowl of rice.But what the princess said showed that what was to be done was not simple.He had to make it clear that he only made tables and chairs.

Tao Anran looked at the modest old Wu, and didn't know what to say.So he stopped talking nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Since this is the case, then I will just say it directly. This is what I want to do. You can see if you can make it."

After Tao Anran finished speaking, he handed the structure diagram of the waterwheel to the father and son.

Old Wu looked at the picture with a blank expression on his face.There is a horizontal line inside this circle, what is it?He looked at his son and motioned for you to see what this is?Wu Laoer also returned a blank look, indicating that he didn't know either.

Tao Anran looked at the two people who were not talking, and asked considerately: "Do you not understand what is drawn on this picture?"

Old Wutou hurriedly replied: "Princess, this, but you want to make a wheel?"

Tao Anran took the drawing, pointed to the circle and said: "Master Wu is half right, this circle-shaped thing is not a wheel, but it is very similar to a wheel. This is a big wheel, and the middle is the supporting frame. There are some wooden impellers and hollow bamboo tubes with oblique openings installed on the outside of the round wheel. By the way, the middle part of the round wheel is a bearing, which can move. It is better to make it longer, and put wooden frames on both sides to support it."

After Tao Anran finished speaking, seeing them looking thoughtful, he quickly asked: "I said this, do you understand? Can it be done?"

Old Wutou and Wu Laoer looked at each other, and then said half-understood: "What the princess said, I probably understand. I just have to try it out before I know if it can be done. Besides, how big is this going to be?" wheels? What kind of wood should I use?"

When Tao Anran heard the answer, she felt happy, as long as she could do it.So he quickly replied: "Since you want to try it, let's try to make a three-foot-long runner first. For wood, use cheap and strong ones. If you have other needs, feel free to tell me."

Just one thing, this thing is a little urgent.Hope you guys make it soon.If there is nothing to do, I hope you will live in the palace and do things.Of course, the price will not be less than you, and if it is really made, there will be extra rewards. "

Hearing this, Old Wutou asked a little uneasy: "Then can I ask the old man's family to pack up some clothes and explain some things by the way."

When Tao Anran heard this, he felt as if he had illegally detained someone.But when I think about it carefully, what I just said seems to mean illegal detention.

He quickly cleared his throat and said, "Of course this is fine. Don't worry, Master Wu. If this thing is done well, then you will be a great contributor. Maybe the rest of the day will depend on you."

Hearing this, Old Wu became more and more confused, but finally he was not so uneasy.It seems that this thing is quite important, and I don't know what it does.
