The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

The sudden visit of several young people interrupted Xunzi's travel plan. Facing the apologies of several people, Xunqing comforted them and invited people in to say: "I was just going to say goodbye to my friends, and I will change the time. mind."

After Han Fei and others were invited to enter the Xun family's house, they saw that the whole house seemed a little empty, and it was indeed expected to go out for a long time.The young people showed their emotions, and each and every one of them had a look of frustration and loss.

Xun Qing saw all this in his eyes, and after the few people sat down and asked them what their intentions were, he was surprised to learn that they all came to ask him like this young man named Han Fei.What surprised him was that almost all of these people came from foreign countries, and the farthest was a county in the south of Chu State. He was a little puzzled why these people would find him.

Xun Qing is more famous in Qilu, because this is the radiant area of ​​Confucian culture, and he works in Jixia Academy, but he is out of Qilu and Zhao Three Kingdoms...he should not be famous.

Then he heard the news of his little boy.

These people all came into contact with Lu An in Qin State, and believed that the gentleman who could teach Lu An like this must be a great talent, so they asked all the way to find him.

Xun Qing was a little speechless, he coughed lightly and said: "This time Xun went out... He was invited by my student to visit Qin."

The atmosphere in the venue was very embarrassing for a while, Han Fei and the others looked at each other, and even the corners of the young student who came to make tea for them curled up!

Xun Qing asked a few more words, the two sides checked the information, and found that Lu An really couldn't be blamed for this matter. In fact, these young people thought that the other had said it, but no one had ever told Lu An. their intentions.

Han Fei and the others told Lu An that they were going to leave after watching the soldiers of the Qin State dispatch their troops. At that time, they were afraid that the Qin army would attack their motherland, so they hurriedly left Yewang City and wanted to return to the country to inform the people of the country.Because they left in a hurry, they also gave two Chu cattle, one big and one small, to Lu An.

Since Lu An didn't know that they were going to Zhao Guo to find Mr. Xun Qing, of course he wouldn't take the initiative to tell them: Oh, my teacher is coming, do you want to stay and see him?I can recommend it for you!

How silly!

So everyone missed it by mistake.

In fact, Lu An sent an invitation to Xunzi after he settled in Yewang City, but Xunzi has always been noncommittal.It wasn't until the end of the Qin-Zhao battle that he made up his mind to go to Qin, because he was really curious why Qin won the war with the current policy of encircling without attacking, dividing and retreating. It's not the style of the Qin people.

This change made him very concerned.Moreover, Xun Qing also believes that the Qin State will not have another military incident in the next few years, and this is the best time to study abroad.

But Han Fei and the others actually went back to China first, and then found that Qin State did not attack their own country, so they reconnected and set off to find Xunzi, and they came and went for a year.

"Since that's the case, I wonder if you guys are willing to go with us?" Xun Qing extended an olive branch to these young people and invited them to visit Qin with him with a smile.

According to Xun Qing's plan, his route this time is from Zhao State to Wei State, then enter South Korea, take a small circle and then go to Qin State. Then he plans to go to Yewang City to see the primary school students, and then go to Xianyang, the capital of Qin State .

He wants to see the current situation of Qin State. If the conditions are right and King Qin intends to adjust the future direction of Qin State, Xun Qing is willing to recommend his Confucianism to King Qin.

Lu An didn't know that he was about to be checked for homework. After he told his father about the origin of the cow in a few words, he was carried into the carriage—yes, because Lu Buwei has a title, the Lu family can finally ride in the carriage!

The difference between a horse-drawn cart and an ox cart is not only a difference in price, a difference in speed, but also a difference in status.

In order to ensure that the old Qin people had enough motivation for fame and fortune, Shang Yang promoted the system of "one hole for profit". Therefore, in Qin State, the treatment that each class can enjoy, what you are allowed to do and what you are not allowed to do It is the strictest of all the vassal states.

It is just a faux pas in other countries, but it is illegal in Qin.

Yiren had told them this point when they first arrived in Qin State, and the Lu family was naturally careful at every step.But being encumbered by them, the Zhao family's mother and son, who remained anonymous, had to follow them to wear coarse clothes and eat simple meals, and they could only travel by ox carts and donkey carts.

The speed of the carriage was much faster than that of the ox cart, and the Lu family only stepped into the gate of Xianyang City after bumping in the carriage for two days.

In Xianyang, Lu Buwei has already set up an estate.In fact, as a rich man, he had already bought this house when he first arrived in Xianyang, but at that time he could not live in it because he was a businessman, so he could only leave it vacant.

The courtyard here is larger than the Lu family's ancestral house, but the size is large, and the decoration of the house is not as exquisite as the ancestral house.The state of Wei, where the Lu family's ancestral home is located, is also a vassal state with the surname Ji.

Therefore, Lu An lost interest after only a few glances. Instead, he ran to the backyard to check the land that hadn't been moved into vegetation.On the way here, Lu Buwei told Lu Xiaoan that this place was reserved for him to satisfy his hobby of farming.

As for whether the aesthetics of farming in his own courtyard are a little distorted... Lu Buwei waved his hand, saying that he doesn't need to care about it at all!Your own courtyard, make your own decisions.

This is called country fun!

In order to satisfy Lu An's little hobby, he also introduced a small stream during the renovation of the house, whether it is watering or raising fish, it can be done according to Lu Xiaoan's wishes.

After reconfirming with his father that he was completely delegating power, Lu Xiaoan immediately took a ruler and met the carpenter hired by Lu Buwei head-to-head, whispering, and gesticulating with each other while talking.

That's right, gestures.

This master carpenter is not from the state of Qin, but from the state of Chu, who came to work in the state of Qin.However, Lu An was born in the state of Wei and lived in the state of Zhao for a period of time, so the language of communication between the two parties still has a lot of obstacles.

Fortunately, body movements are common.

In the state of Qin, except for soldiers, peasants, officials and members of the royal family, everyone's life is not easy, which of course also includes industrial, commercial and handicraft workers.Therefore, very few local people in Qin were willing to engage in industries other than agriculture and the military. This blank market attracted a large number of foreign craftsmen.

Because... Old Qin's money is so easy to earn!

As the world's superpower today, Qin is one of the few countries that practice private ownership of land, and its people can be said to be extremely rich.

Once a person has money, he will inevitably pursue a higher life. However, there are few craftsmen in Qin State itself, and foreign craftsmen with the customs of Qin Dynasty are naturally very popular.Basically, no matter what the craftsmen say, the old Qin people always have three words - buy, buy, buy!

Someone may ask again, isn’t the status of craftsmen in Qin State not high?Why are these artisans coming?

Of course it is to make money in Qin and return to the country to spend it!

Their nationality is not from the state of Qin. As long as they earn enough money in the state of Qin, they can bring small money back to their small nest by patting their buttocks. By then, with this amount of money, their small life will not be too beautiful.

This kind of behavior is somewhat similar to the American gold diggers of later generations. They all went with the purpose of suffering for a year or two and enjoying happiness for a decade or so.Since it is for making money rather than enjoying life, of course these craftsmen will also take over jobs during the New Year.

In fact, if Lu Buwei didn't contribute enough funds, he still wouldn't be able to make an appointment with these craftsmen.But when these craftsmen found out that the master actually asked them to do things according to the instructions of a little child... they felt a little unhappy.

It feels like smashing the signboard.

However, they finally succumbed to the power of the five baht coins, but they did not know that they made some fun.Without him, this child's small brain really does not know how to grow, and he has a lot of whimsical ideas.

The creek introduced by Lu Buwei has a small amount of water, and Xianyang is located in a plain area with no height difference, and the water flow speed is entirely driven by the water flow generated by rainfall.Winter and spring are small, and summer and autumn are fierce. Therefore, although it is a small stream, Lu Buwei built a relatively large space and waterways for it to prevent the stream from overflowing during the rainy season.

However, it is the dry season of winter, and although the stream is not yet frozen, it is only a thin layer, flowing at the bottom of the deep channel, which looks very pitiful.This amount of water cannot be scooped up with a bucket, and it is obviously impossible to use this water for irrigation.

But this is not a problem for Lu Xiaoan, he asked someone to dig a hole in the middle of the waterway and bury a water urn in it, let the passing water gather here, and then just fetch water.

However, Lu Xiaoan was still a little dissatisfied with the current situation. He stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then suddenly had an idea.

Lu Buwei happened to be so busy during the New Year holidays that he didn't go home for half a month.

This year is the first appearance of Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng, mother and son. He must try his best to ensure that the etiquette and rules of the two are correct, and teach them how to avoid language traps.At this point, aliens cannot help.

And when Lu Buwei returned home, he found a strange thing in the courtyard.He was curious and took a closer look. It was a big roller, and there was another pole directly above the roller. This combination appeared in his yard very abruptly.

Lu Buwei frowned, and brought his son to him for questioning.

It turned out that because the soil was frozen hard in winter, after digging a water storage pit in the river with difficulty, Lu An said that there was no need to move any more. Everyone installed the parts they needed first, and assembled them after the soil layer thawed in spring. good.

But now this roller is actually a trial product of the master carpenter. Because he felt that this thing was novel, the master carpenter made it in advance.It is also because it is a trial product, the roller itself is not waterproof, and the wood used is also extremely common fir, which is not durable at all.After taking the trial product and confirming with the owner what needs to be changed, the carpenter left the roller at Lu's house, treating it as a play for the young master.

"How do you play this? Also, why put it by the stream?" Lu Buwei frowned, patted his son's head, and asked, "What if I accidentally rolled down?"

Unexpectedly, Lu An just smiled and did not answer, but took his father to observe carefully, and Lu Buwei saw some tricks.

The roller is fixed in one place by vacating, and there are several axle links below it. It can't roll around like he thought, and there is a rather complicated transmission tool under it. Straight into the stream.

Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows, for some reason he suddenly had some premonition in his heart, and his premonition soon came true.

At his request, Lu An called a servant.The latter seemed to have tried it many times, and he stepped on the roller skillfully as soon as he was called. He held the wooden pole above the roller with both hands and kicked it.Driven by his running motion, the roller started rolling, and Lu Buwei soon heard the sound of water splashing, and water gradually gushed out three or five steps behind the roller.

This is not a toy my son made on a whim.

This is an irrigation tool.

Moreover, it is also an irrigation tool that can lift the water up only by running. You don’t need to carry it on your shoulders, and you don’t need to travel long distances or climb, you can pump the water from the bottom to the top!

Lu Buwei took a deep breath and asked in a rather calm tone: "An'er, what is the name of this roller...?"

Lu An glanced at him, his small eyes were very irritating, "Isn't it just a roller? Dad, why do we have to name a roller?"

Don't be angry, don't be angry, Lu Buwei said to himself in his heart, his son has insufficient knowledge and common sense, so he doesn't know how important this thing is, be patient, be more patient, "Then you have drawn the blueprint?"

Lu Xiaoan's eyes became even weirder, as if looking at an ignorant adult, "Just a roller..." Just do it, why do you need to draw blueprints? !It is precious to use parchment paper for drawing drawings.

Lu Buwei endured it, and asked the last question, "An'er, how high can the water be raised?"

At this moment, Lu An finally understood what his father was struggling with. He turned his head and looked at the servant who was still running in place without being instructed to stop, and said with some hesitation: "Probably, how big the roller is, how fast people run , as high as you can raise it..."

After a pause, he added, "There must be a slope, but a straight height will not work."

Lu Buwei let out a breath slowly, he touched his son's head implicitly, and immediately turned around and strode away.

And in the afternoon, the house where the Lu family had just moved in welcomed a distinguished guest who caught everyone by surprise—the most distinguished father, son, and grandson of the Great Qin Kingdom arrived at the bare backyard of the Lu family.

Silently glanced at the desolate scene where the vegetation was sparse and dry in winter, no matter how thick-skinned Lu Buwei was, he felt a little embarrassed at this time.But obviously the three of the old Qin's family had no interest in the Lu family's courtyard, they saw the very eye-catching roller at a glance, and immediately asked Lu Buwei to test it for them.

So, the servant who had just run a few laps in the morning was called over again, he got on the roller very familiarly, and ran without commanding.

Yingji looked at the clear spring flowing in the pre-dug water channel that was continuously lifted up from the lower water urn as he ran, as if he could imagine how many fields could be easily irrigated after installing this device along all the river channels. And how much grain can these fields produce.Then, those grains will fill the farm warehouses the size of the Qin State, and when the warehouses are full, they can be turned into military rations for them to travel across the six countries!

Just thinking about it, the supreme ruler of the Qin country couldn't hide his excitement.

Food is Ying Ji's current headache!

Previously, the Changping War between Qin and Zhao almost emptied [-]% of Qin’s grain reserves, leaving only [-]% of the grain to be prepared for disasters. Traveling by car, I saved so much just now.

All the people of the Qin State are soldiers, and people take up weapons as soldiers, and pick up hoes as the people. Therefore, after so many soldiers were mobilized in the Changping Battle, there was a huge gap in the country's labor force. This gap directly caused that after the war, even if the soldiers immediately Returning to the fields to work, the harvest of the year was barely enough to make ends meet.

Therefore, last year when the Qin State sent troops to deter other countries, the military rations it carried were only enough for one month. After that, Lu Buwei raised all the food and grass for the entire army.

This Lu Qing also used a lot of extraordinary means. In the end, relying on cheating... unexpectedly, in addition to meeting the needs of the army, he was able to bring some food back.This method made the entire imperial court look at him sideways, and Zhi Su Nei Shi even rushed over to ask him for his important person afterwards.

If it weren't for the need to keep Lu Buwei watching by Gongzi Yiren's side in order to suppress the power of the Chu State in the country, Yingji might have let go.Now that I think about it, it's a good thing he didn't let go.If you let go, I'm afraid you won't be able to see this magical irrigated thing.

——Obviously the old king of Qin took the roller presented by Lu Buwei this time as his job application.

This is not to blame for the misunderstanding of King Qin, it is really a coincidence that the time of Lu Buwei's offering is too coincidental.

When Lu Buwei went to find another person, it happened to be the time when Yingji, who was on annual leave, came to An Guojun's house to talk to his son about his private affairs.

At that time, Yiren was ready to go out to see such a good thing, so he reported to An Guojun, and An Guojun also asked casually to show his father-son relationship in front of his father, so three generations of the old winner came here.

As for what Lu Buwei said about not having blueprints but just making them first... Believe it or not, Ying Ji doesn't believe it anyway.

But he doesn't care about these careful tricks, as long as people are useful, as the lord of a country, he can occasionally pamper his courtiers.

When King Qin looked at the Weiguo businessman who was standing beside him, his expression was very appreciative, "My grandson really has a good eye. If this thing can be promoted, I will definitely remember Lu Qing's great contribution."

The author has something to say:

No Responsibility Small Theater:

One day, the generals of the Qin State were surprised to find that the soldiers recruited in recent years had excellent endurance and muscular waist and legs. Artifact.

This way of running on rollers is very beneficial to exercise people's balance and waist and leg muscles, especially the waist. It is more powerful to wield a long weapon.

A must to add to your daily army workout!

then……

Soldier of the Qin State: Damn, I just joined the army because I didn’t want to keep running around at home. What’s the difference between doing farm work at home now?And run faster!

Peasants of the Qin State: My soldiers from the Great Qin will still take the initiative to help us irrigate the fields!Must give praise!

Soldiers of the Six Kingdoms: Damn, how can these old Qin people run so fast!So can you run? !Ahhh I can't run! ! ! — Ah, mother, world, goodbye!

Soldiers of the Six Nations: Huh?Didn't kill me?Qin is actually going to be captured?Huh?What is this?Just step on it and run? so easy!

Qin Guo, because he doesn't want to continue to run the roller and wants to grab free labor, he would rather exchange his head. Soldier: finally liberated.

Xia Miao: What does it have to do with me?I'm just an innocent kitten.

The drum is actually a deformed version of the keel waterwheel, which connects the pedal area into a barrel shape, which is more convenient to use, and of course costs more wood, but the advantage is that it can connect several waterwheels into a whole, so It can save labor, and it can be disassembled for exercise when it is not needed for irrigation. It is everyone's responsibility to protect the inverted triangle mermaid line!

In fact, the shape is the very interesting roller in the fitness area of ​​the community. Personally, I think this thing is second only to the waist twister (hey!!) I saw it in the farmhouse. The farmhouse showed several kinds of keel waterwheels in the south of the Yangtze River. For regional application, I personally think that the roller is the best, and it is much easier than the bicycle model!

Han Fei stuttered yesterday...he stuttered. I wrote it before, but yesterday he only had 8 words and said four or four. If he still stutters, he stutters severely! !It is said that Han Fei is mild.

Moreover, stuttering in the code setting is always suspected of cheating the number of words. In the future, Han Fei will just stutter when he speaks, and everyone will understand it.
