Chapter 144 The slaves really can't hold the big sword of the mistress
Chapter 144
Manager Liu said with a proud face.
"My young master is a dignified gentleman who keeps his words and deeds consistent. Now that I agree to it, I will wait for you."
"No matter whether the lack of water in the fields is repeated or not, this competition cannot be cancelled."
Magistrate Xu pursed his lips and agreed with deep understanding. "What you say makes sense. A gentleman never takes his promises lightly."
"Since Nephew Yang has agreed to the competition, how can he give up halfway?"
"..." Mr. Wang Xiang, Wang Bozhang and others all turned pale. What he said was so reasonable that we were speechless.
When I thought about the expense of so much favor, I invited a large group of green forest men to fight and pinch me here.
It almost turned into a farce, but it turned out to be a 50-50 split.
Now, standing on the embankment of the Yellow River, I realized that begging my father and grandma to fight for the past few days has been a waste of energy.
As soon as he did it, the head of Zecun Township suddenly felt extremely bitter...
Officials in the county government who are familiar with water conservancy have made detailed calculations and the results obtained are not much different from what Yang Qian said before.
After hearing the official's report, Magistrate Xu couldn't hold back his excitement and burst into laughter.
"Okay, hahaha, okay, great, Nephew Yang, no, Dr. Yang is indeed my great savior in Xingze."
During this period, it was really difficult for Magistrate Xu, who was tortured by successive disasters and lost one-third of the hair on his head.
First there was the flood disaster. After the flood, the plague came as expected. Just as this plague was calmed down, the buzzing locust plague came again.
After dealing with the floods, I thought I could take a breather, but it turned out that there was no rain for months, causing drought in Xingze County.
In order to solve the problem of water shortage, the remaining two-thirds of his hair volume was reduced by about one-third.
So much so that he is now cautious when going out, fearing that his hat will blow off, revealing his unsightly bald head that already has a Mediterranean look.
Now, the emergence of this kind of barrel-type waterwheel has made countless worries in his heart disappear.
And all the old village chiefs from Gentry Township in Yingze County around him were also beaming with joy.
#####
Yes, Xingze County has never been short of water. After all, there are rivers passing through its territory.
But the problem is that the water level of the rivers needed for irrigation has dropped significantly because no rain has fallen for a long time.
This has resulted in many places in Xingze County experiencing water shortages for irrigation.
Although the Yellow River, the mighty mother river, is around me, I want to use the Yellow River for watering.
Sorry, no. Because the Yellow River can easily burst its banks, so since the construction of Dongdu began and the canal was dug.
The court issued a strict order that no dams on the Yellow River could be dug for five hundred miles upstream and downstream of Dongdu.
Whether you want to use Yellow River water to irrigate the fields or do other things, it is just to prevent problems with this bad-tempered river.
If a major breach occurs in the Yellow River, it will not only affect the area where the embankment burst, but will also affect the excavated canal.
The court was not willing to gamble with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people just for the sake of drought in one state or one county.
But now, the barrel-type waterwheel invented by Yang Qian does not need to dig a dyke like the overturned waterwheel in the past.
It does not consume a lot of materials like a wheel-type waterwheel, and the speed of pumping water is slow due to its excessive weight.
It relies on four splayed wooden stakes to sit firmly next to the embankment.
Using the huge and light hollow runner and the big bamboo tube, water can be drawn and transported to high places at a uniform speed.
In this way, water can be easily drawn for irrigation without damaging the dam.
Such an approach did not violate the strict orders of the court.
It can also use the water resources of the Yellow River to irrigate the fields, which is simply the best choice for both worlds.
When the excitement of the crowd gradually dissipated, Yang Qian took over the structure and anatomy of the barrel waterwheel from Manager Liu.
He held it in both hands towards Magistrate Xu. "This is the pattern of a barrel-type waterwheel. This thing is here.
Many towns and villages in this county adjacent to the Yellow River can rely on this to relieve their worries about water shortages."
Most of the boundaries of Xingze County are close to the Yellow River, as long as there is such a waterwheel.
At least nearly two-thirds of the towns and villages in Xingze County will have no worries about water supply.
The gentry and country folk who originally had nothing to do but spank their children on a rainy day came to see what was going on.
At this moment, Yang Qian, who was watching Yucun Linfeng eagerly and chatting away, was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Yang, please forgive me for being blind. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe it.
Your father is actually able to design such an ingenious water-drawing vessel."
"Yes, Mr. Yang, with this thing, let alone two or three months without rain.
Even if it doesn't rain for a year, as long as there is water in the Yellow River, our people in Xingze County can ensure food and clothing."
Manager Liu looked at these gentry and village elders from Yingze County who were looking at each other with smiles and happy greetings to his young master.
Seeing my handsome and handsome young man face these guys, he still looks like the same and handles them calmly.
Since we are facing the representative of Xiazawa Village who was at loggerheads with Osawa Village before.
The young master also treated everyone equally and was so magnanimous and generous. On the contrary, it made everyone in Xiaze Village feel ashamed.
I couldn't help but shook my head with emotion. My young master is truly a true gentleman who has emerged from the mud and is untainted. He cares about the people and forgets his personal grudges.
#####
A servant hurriedly came to the front hall and said to Han in a hurry.
"Mother, they are back. As soon as they came back, they went to the young master's courtyard and asked for wine and meat. They said they wanted to celebrate today's competition."
"I, Osawa Village, won the competition?" Han's face showed a trace of matter-of-factness.
The servant shook his head uneasily.
"Well, not really... Mrs. Li won two battles in a row, and Niu Jinda, Uncle De and Du Fuwei also won a while."
"The rest of the people have lost."
Han's face couldn't help but become ugly.
"Lost? You mean Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji, who are jumping up and down in the house all day long, lost?"
Seeing the servant nodding his head in confirmation, Han's whole body felt bad.
This bunch of monsters deceived my son into being a humble gentleman who didn't want to blush with others, so they ate and drank in the house for several days.
I thought that they could show their true skills for the battle between Osawa Village and Xiazawa Village and win beautifully.
As a result, these particularly noisy demon moths all lost.
Especially when she thought of Cheng Yaojin, that hairy-faced fellow, who was also the good brother, Han's mood became even more unpleasant.
At this time, there was another faint noise from the backyard.
The upset and angry Han immediately became furious.
"Hehehe, what do they think of my Yang Mansion?"
Mrs. Han stood up, her virtuous and gentle look disappeared, replaced by a sharp and sharp aura.
"Ping'er, go and get my Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Today I will personally help them gain their knowledge.
This is the Yang Mansion, not a cottage where those demons are dancing, let alone a free restaurant!"
"Mother..."
"Huh? I can't call you anymore?"
Ping'er's eyes were so anxious that her eyes were red. "Mother, please give me your anger. I really can't hold your sword."
Han: "..."
