Summon players, rebuild Dawei

After the shower, the cloud shadows scattered, the bright sun broke through the stratus clouds, and the sky returned to clarity.

A bullock cart ran over the potholes and stopped beside the embankment of the Mo River.

The door curtain at the back of the car was pulled open, and a handsome gentleman bent sideways and came out of the car. The wind blowing from the river bank lifted the hem of the man's light clothes, which shone silvery in the sunlight.

The young man of the Jie ethnic group took a footstool and put it beside the carriage frame, then stood aside and watched the owner get off the carriage without moving.

Jiang Shu stretched out his hand and said, "Help me up."

Xing Sang raised his head, his eyes were confused, as if he was saying, "I need someone to help me at such a height"?

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows: "Forget how I taught you?"

Recalling the words he had copied in the past few days, the young man of the Jie nationality frowned, and finally raised his hand to support the young man's right arm, and helped him out of the car safely.

After Jiang Shu got out of the car, another man in white came out of the car. Jiang Shu turned around and raised his hand to help, reminding: "The road is wet and slippery after the rain, brother be careful."

Jiang Xian slightly raised the hem of his skirt and got out of the car, smiled and said, "Thank you brother."

Today is the official completion day of the large waterwheel built by Mufang. Jiang Shu specially invited Jiang Xian to watch the waterwheel irrigation.

After the two brothers got off the car, Jiang Shu saw the crowds gathered in the distance and the rolling overturned car, so he couldn't wait to ask the second brother to go up to the embankment to have a look.

"Aren't you waiting for Sir Xie?" Jiang Xian asked.

Indeed, Jiang Shu also invited Xie Min to watch it together in order to bond with friends, but...

Jiang Shu glanced at the road with deep ruts, shook his head and said, "It's raining today, and the road is rough and muddy. Brother Xie likes clean and refreshing, so he probably won't come."

"The weather is really not good today." Jiang Xian nodded in agreement and echoed.

He was about to walk up the embankment with Jiang Shu, when he turned around, he suddenly saw a small carriage approaching at a high speed in the distance of the road.

"Wait, that seems to be Xie's frame." Jiang Xian judged.

Jiang Shu stopped and turned around, squinting his eyes and saw the imprint on the carriage, frowned and said, "Why did he take the carriage?"

"Hurry up the carriage, maybe it was decided to come after the rain stopped."

After a few conversations, the carriage had already reached the ox cart, the driver suddenly got up and pulled the reins, and the two horses neighed to the sky for a while, and snorted twice.

A footman jumped out of the carriage and swiftly placed the footstool beside the frame.

Then, several people saw a slender and white hand like cold jade push aside the curtain of the car, and Xie Min, who was dressed in a clear blue dress, came out of the car.

As the familiar figure appeared outside the carriage, Jiang Shu seemed to smell warm incense coming in the wind.

He raised his lips and went to the front of the car to say hello: "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time, so don't come here to be safe."

Xie Min got out of the carriage slowly with the help of a healthy servant, perhaps because the carriage was too bumpy, his face looked a little pale, his brows seemed to have just been loosened, and there was a look of displeasure hidden between his eyebrows and eyes.

His gaze first fell on Jiang Shu, nodded to him, and immediately saluted Jiang Xian: "Jiang Gongcao."

Jiang Xian was obviously taken aback when he saw Xie Yin, and it took a while to remember to return the gift, and said loudly: "Xie Jun's demeanor is so high and clear, it's amazing, no wonder brother always praises you when talking about you."

Xie Yin lowered his eyes and pursed his lips with a smile: "It's a meritorious service."

Jiang Shu blinked, completely unable to remember when she praised Xie Yin to Jiang Xian.

But he didn't care about these, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he suggested: "Let's go up and visit the waterwheel!"

"it is good."

After a while, several people walked to the embankment.

Standing on a high place, the field of vision is wider and the sight is clearer.

I saw a huge waterwheel more than [-] meters high standing on the bank of the river where the downstream water flow was more turbulent. The river water impacted the waterwheel and slowly rotated. Into the tank, non-stop flowing irrigation to the shore farmland.

This situation has a special aesthetic feeling, which makes people calm down involuntarily, just looking at the huge water wheel turning slowly.

Jiang Shu looked at the crowd gathered by the river bank, and found that not only carpenter craftsmen came to watch the completion of the waterwheel today, but also many nearby people and some players who joined in the fun.

However, they stand on a high place and can see the scene below, but players may not be able to spot them.

This is just right, so that players don't have to come over to watch when they see the handsome NPC.

"Using water as power, drawing river water from low places to highlands for irrigation, day and night, without any human or animal power, this thing is really ingenious!" Jiang Xian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Jiang Shu: "This is the wisdom of craftsmen."

"good."

Seeing such a large-scale irrigation scene for the first time, Xie Yin was also shocked. He couldn't help thinking about how many acres of rice fields could be fed and how many manpower would be liberated if Nandi had such a sharp irrigation tool...

Just as he was wandering, he suddenly heard people around him ask: "Seeing this situation, what did you realize?"

Xie Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak when he turned his head to see Jiang Shu looking at Jie Pu behind him, it turned out that he was not asking himself.

"The power of the water is so strong that it can drive the giant wheel to rotate." Xie Min heard the answer from Jie Pu.

"anything else?"

"The giant ship can transport water to irrigate the farmland, so that farmers don't have to carry water by themselves. It is a very useful thing."

"Not bad." Jiang Shu was relieved to hear that the protagonist had such a clear concept.

As expected of the protagonist, although he is a little ruthless, he does have a clever mind that can understand a little bit.

Immediately, he taught as usual: "It is because of Shennong's 'cutting wood for porcupines and kneading wood for Lei' that we have all the agricultural tools we use now, and the improved water conservancy tools we manufacture today will be as good as they are in the future. One day it can be spread all over the Central Plains, and it can also be a blessing to all people."

Xing Sang was expressionless, and wanted to say "it's none of my business", but the other party taught him these inexplicable principles not once or twice, so he just listened to it.

Listening to their conversation, Xie Min frowned slightly.

He knew about Jiang Shu's bringing back a young man of the Jie ethnic group from the captive camp. It wasn't that he deliberately inquired about it, but the matter had already spread, and Xu Hai told him after hearing about it.

He didn't take this matter to heart before. Although Jie people are ugly in appearance, they are famous for being strong and hardworking.

Occasionally, there would be some gentry who didn't care about the identity of the miscellaneous Hu, who would raise a few Hu people as handymen around him. He thought Jiang Shu was the same, but now it seems that the other party's attitude towards this Jiehu is a bit unusual.

Thinking of this, Xie Yin raised his eyes and glanced at the Jie servant, secretly sizing up his appearance.

He didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he looked carefully, he found that this young man from the Jie tribe was not as ugly as he had imagined.

His skin was very fair, his clothes and hair were neatly arranged, his facial features were clearly defined, but he had a blade-like aura that Wei people lacked.

For some reason, Xie Yin suddenly thought of Xun Ling.

He remembered his father's comment to Xun Ling, "Su Su is like a strong wind under the pine", and looking at this Jie Nu at this time, he also has the momentum of a strong wind under the pine.

Could it be...

Xie Yin withdrew his gaze, his mood moved slightly.

Could it be that Jiang Shu still misses Xun Ling, that's why this Jie slave was brought out from the captive camp and asked to accompany him around?

Not so good.

Xie Yin frowned, and after a moment of silent contemplation, he suddenly raised his sleeve to cover his lips and coughed twice.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Shu turned around reflexively when he heard the sound, saw Xie Min covering his lips and coughing, his cheeks and eyes were slightly red, and immediately asked: "Brother Xie is not feeling well?"

"En." Xie Yin responded weakly, "I'm a little weak, maybe it's because the wind here is too cold."

Jiang Shu looked up at the warm sun above his head, and thought that this was not the reason, so he asked in a low voice, "Have you been using medicine recently?"

Xie Yin paused for a moment, then shook his head.

Jiang Shu wasn't sure about his current medication time, worried that the efficacy of the life-extending pill was about to run out, so he said, "I'll help you back to the car and rest."

Xie Yin nodded: "Your Brother Lao Shu."

Hearing this address for the first time, Jiang Shu was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but look up at the other party.

Xie Yin looked normal: "You called me brother Xie for a long time, but I changed my name to your younger brother. Is it not an exaggeration?"

Jiang Shu shook his head immediately, then smiled and said, "Of course not too much, it's so good."

He thought it was good, the benefactor finally regarded him as a friend.

Afterwards, he turned his head to say hello to Jiang Xian, saying that Xie Min was unwell, and he accompanied him to the car to rest.

Jiang Xian knew that Xie Min was weak and sick, but he didn't know how sick he was. He thought he was suffering from an old illness, so he quickly persuaded him: "Then let's send Mr. Xie back to the house to rest. go back."

"Okay, then I'll send Brother Xie back first."

Jiang Xian nodded.

Jiang Shu took a step forward, and Xing Sang followed immediately.

Seeing this, Xie Yin said flatly: "The carriage is not big, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate one more person."

Jiang Shu didn't realize what he meant at first, thinking he was referring to herself, but she didn't understand what he meant until she turned around and saw the young man from the Jie tribe.

He thought that the real Wei people probably don't like barbarians very much, so he said to Xing Sang, "I'll send him back first, and you can go back with my brother later."

Xing Sang didn't refute on the face, but he was not very happy in his heart, especially when he saw the high-spirited back of the surnamed Xie, he was even more unhappy.

These gentry gentlemen of Wei State are really weak and hypocritical one by one.

·

Accompanying Xie Min back to the carriage, Jiang Shu immediately took out a white life-extending pill for him: "Just in case, brother Xie, please take a white pill first."

Xie Yin did not refuse, took Bai Dan and swallowed it with warm water.

Jiang Shu said again: "In the future, you should try to take the medicine a few days earlier to avoid any accidents."

Xie Yin nodded, raised his lips and smiled at him slightly: "Okay."

Even though she has had the experience of facing beauty crit at close range many times, Jiang Shu is still not very used to seeing him smile at herself, so she hastily turned her eyes away and ordered the driver to set off back home.

After the carriage drove a certain distance, Xie Min suddenly mentioned: "In the past, silk was used in exchange for medicine, but now there are not many silks in the warehouse, but my father recently sent a batch of grain from Hengchuan. Change the medicine for the first time, and exchange it with rice grains first?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shu's first reaction was, is there such a good thing?

"Of course it's fine, but..." Jiang Shu frowned slightly.

The silk cloth he bought from Xie Mina with the life extension pill was actually his private property, not the treasury.

He thought that he also needed to save some money just in case, so he put all the silk cloths in his warehouse.

However, silk cloth can be piled up in the warehouse and not used, and it would be a pity to pile up the grain in the warehouse and not eat it...

Seeming to see what he was worrying about, Xie Min said: "If brother Shu is worried about where the grain goes, why don't we change the way of trading?"

"Brother Xie, what do you mean?"

"There are many kinds of rice in the Southland, and the rice fields cannot lack water more than others. If the improved overturned car we saw today can be spread to the Southland, it will be of greater use." Xie Min looked at him and said slowly: "I If you want to exchange grain and rice for the blueprint of the overturned car, how about it?"

Jiang Shu understood that the other party wanted to buy food from the government in the name of buying waterwheel blueprints. What they wanted was the blueprints of the overturned wagons, but they were actually buying medicine.

But Jiang Shu didn't believe him completely, and Jiang Shu didn't believe his nonsense when he said that there was not enough silk cloth in the warehouse.

Nowadays, the depreciation of money is serious, and only food and cloth are the hard currency. Silk cloth is equivalent to gold, silver and copper coins at this time. If Xie's warehouse is short of money, no one in the world will have money!

He thought, maybe Xie Min really kindly wanted to exchange food for the government, but at the same time he really wanted the blueprint of the waterwheel.

Want to give it to him?

Jiang Shu immediately thought about the pros and cons.

Although the waterwheel has obvious effects, it is cumbersome to do because of the many procedures. With the current situation, it is very difficult to promote it in Yanqiao County, let alone popularize it among the people.

However, the current situation in the court is also very chaotic. Even if Jiang Ke presented the blueprint to the court, no one would pay attention to it.

On the contrary, if this blueprint can be sent to Xie Xian through Xie Min's hand, the effect will be very different!

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu quickly made a decision and asked, "What price do you want to exchange for the blueprint, Brother Xie?"

A smile appeared on Xie Min's lips, and he said: "Things that benefit the country and the people are worth a hundred stones of grain and rice."
