"Ten thousand acres of land? That doesn't seem like much..." Xiao Han felt that Old Feng was making a fuss.
In later generations, there will be more than one million acres of experimental fields. If this is only 10,000 acres, it is still planted in scattered areas. What problems can there be?
Seeing Xiao Han's disapproval, Lao Feng felt a little anxious. He simply squatted opposite Xiao Han and said to him: "Xiao Hou, you once told me that this rice seed needs to be spread in Hanzhong first! But this Hanzhong
There are only so many paddy fields, and most of them are occupied, so where can we find land to plant them?"
"There aren't many paddy fields here? Who said that?" Xiao Han scratched the back of his head, looked around, then pointed at the ditch and asked, "Look, there is so much water here, and there is also the Han River! You can just go from there.
Where can we divert a little water and turn it into a paddy field? Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. From tomorrow on, we will ask more people to come over and open up wasteland! A large area of land over there is deserted.
Let him transform it into a paddy field. It will be such a big area, at least several hundred acres!"
Xiao Han was high-spirited and full of ambition! But Old Feng on the side said something sarcastic: "Xiao Hou, I'm afraid this won't work..."
"No? Why?" Xiao Han suddenly turned his head and looked at Old Feng strangely.
"Because you want paddy fields, not dry fields..." Old Feng covered his face and said in a low voice.
Xiao Han became more and more strange. He gestured and said: "What's the difference? Aren't they all flat? Then get the water... cough cough!"
He spoke so hastily that Xiao Han almost choked to death with the mouthful of mung bean soup he held in his mouth, and a few mung beans even spurted out from his nostrils!
Finally I know where I went wrong. Why are paddy fields called paddy fields? Because they need to be irrigated! Where can I find a pump now? If there is no pump, how can I use buckets to irrigate? With hundreds of acres of land, just irrigating water will be exhausting!
The more embarrassed a person is, the faster his mind usually spins! Looking at Old Feng with a strange expression, Xiao Han suddenly had an idea flash in his mind, then he hammered his palm hard, stood up and said: "By the way, there is no water pump.
, we have overturned!"
Lao Feng was startled by Xiao Han's surprise, and quickly stood up and asked him: "Overturned? What overturned? Did the carriage or the ox cart overturn?"
"The car overturned! It wasn't that car that overturned, it was this car that overturned... Hey, I can't explain it to you clearly! What I'm talking about is the thing that can lift water from a low place to a high place!" Xiao Han was successfully fooled by the old man with his first sentence.
Feng Dai was in trouble! After gesticulating for a long time, he finally said what he wanted to say.
By the way, wasn't Ma Jun from the Three Kingdoms period, hundreds of years earlier than the Tang Dynasty? Why didn't Lao Feng even know about his overturning? This guy didn't study history?
"Lifting water from a low place to a high place? Overturning the car?" Lao Feng glared at Xiao Han, unable to figure out the principle of being able to lift water by turning over a car.
"Ma Jun, Ma Jun knows? A craftsman from the Three Kingdoms period?"
"Um, I've heard about this. What does he have to do with this overturned car?"
Well, judging from the confused look in Old Feng's eyes, he has probably heard of this name. As for what this man did and what he invented, he probably doesn't know as much as Xiaoji does...
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Han said helplessly: "Forget it, I don't count on you anymore, I'd better do it myself..."
Hey, I'm used to it. If you want something, don't count on others. After all, our great leader once said, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing! Since there is no overturn here, why don't we just make one?
Braving the sun, he ran to the thatched hut where he was eating, and kicked the sleeping idiot inside! The stupid boy was suddenly kicked awake, and he was about to get angry! When he saw it was Xiao Han, he immediately stopped and turned gray.
Liu Liu followed Xiao Han's instructions to find a carpenter.
Instructing the fool, Xiao Han moved the tables, chairs and benches under the thatched shed to the side to create an open space. Then he picked up a small wooden stick and started to draw a model of an overturned car on the ground.
In fact, Xiao Han should have thought of the magic weapon for farming like the overturned cart. However, there is a large waterwheel in Xiaojiazhuangzi, so there is no need for that thing. But it is even worse here. The paddy field is lower than the water in the ditch. Just dig it.
Turn it on a little and water will pour in!
Because there was no need for it, I didn’t even think about it! If Lao Feng hadn’t mentioned it today, Xiao Han wouldn’t have even thought about making this thing.
Trying to recall the diagram of a car rollover he had seen in elementary school, Xiao Han drew it bit by bit on the ground. Lao Feng, who was following him, tilted his head and looked aside, trying to see what kind of car had overturned and what happened.
Great effect.
Halfway through the drawing, there was a sound from outside, but it was two carpenters running over with their tools clanking, and even the fast fool couldn't catch up!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them ran into the hut out of breath. When they saw Xiao Han, they didn't even bother to wipe their sweat. After bowing first, they said with warm eyes: "Master Marquis, are you looking for us? Look at us.
Whatever you two can do, just ask!"
The two carpenters were so excited! Oh my God, the two gemstone craftsmen followed Xiao Hou and made a lot of money a few days ago. Later, the two coppersmiths followed suit and made a lot of money! Only the eyes of the two of them were almost red.
!Could it be that it’s finally our turn?
"Here you come? Take a break first, let's see how tired you two are!" Xiao Han was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the two carpenters. He knew how to bring the tools as soon as he called! Unlike the fool, if you ask him to get the bucket, he will
Just take a bucket. As for the water in it... Well, who said you didn't say there must be water in it...
When the two carpenters heard Xiao Han's first words, he asked them to take a break first, their hearts became hot. They quickly shook their heads and said: "No need to take a break, we are not tired, the Marquis's matters are more important!"
When Xiao Han saw the two of them saying this, he didn't force himself. He pointed at the almost finished drawing on the ground and said, "Okay, then come over and take a look. I'm going to make a tool for turning water up. Let's study it together?"
"
"A tool for turning water up?" The two carpenters looked at each other strangely, quickly put the tools aside, came over and squatted on the ground to look at the pictures drawn by Xiao Han.
The drawing was very rough. After all, it was drawn hastily on the dirt with tree sticks. It took the two carpenters a long time to look at it before they could get a rough idea.
"How about it? Let's see what materials to use. Let's make a model first and improve the rest bit by bit!" Xiao Han pointed at the picture with a tree stick and talked to the two of them. Mainly because it took too long and he forgot.
Now I can only remember a rough outline of the details.
The slightly older carpenter was looking at the picture in trance. When he heard Xiao Han speak, he suddenly woke up. Then he looked up at Xiao Han and asked: "Master Hou, this is Master Ma's dragon bone."
Waterwheel?”
Xiao Han didn't expect that an illiterate craftsman would know something that even Lao Feng didn't know. He was shocked and asked him quickly: Do you know this? Where did you know it?"
The older carpenter cupped his hands and said to Xiao Han: "Master Hou, I don't know it. I just heard about it before, but never saw the real thing!"
"You've heard of it, that means it really existed. Why hasn't such a good thing spread?" He was obviously talking about overturning, but for some reason, Xiao Han suddenly became angry as he spoke!
Throughout history, other civilizations are always making progress! Only the Chinese civilization always makes some progress, and then inexplicably regresses! So much so that a country that was once so far ahead of the world was later overtaken by some small countries.
Hazing!
