"Yunyuan Health Preservation Sutra" was originally supposed to be just a book focusing on the basics of internal training.
Zhang Jian thought about continuing to go to Zhang Yi's study to enjoy the autumn breeze.
He had noticed before that there were many secret records of internal refining in Zhang Yi's study, many of which were exquisite methods.
Of course, Zhang Jian is not in a hurry to break through directly, as his foundation in the inner refining method is still relatively weak.
But this is a good excuse to take this opportunity to "ask" Zhang Yi.
…
During this period, Zhang Jian was not idle. He made a special trip to the paper-making shop and bought back a large number of cinnabar ingots for sacrifice at the clan temple. But this time he only received a small cup of golden luck in return.
Obviously, the 'ancestor' on the head is also the one who does not let go of hawks when he sees rabbits, and wool is not good for mattresses.
Zhang Jian had some ideas in his mind. Afterwards, he found Zhang Yi again and handed Zhang Yi a prepared picture of the keel waterwheel.
"Brother Jian, is this thing...?"
"This is a picture of a large waterwheel that the child found from an ancient book. This waterwheel can optimize the simple waterwheel currently in Fengxi County. It can draw water directly from the river to irrigate fertile fields and resist drought. My father can use the blacksmith in the clan to
Verify one or two, if it can have some effect, even if it can save some tribesmen and people, that will be great!"
Zhang Jian looked serious.
Naturally, this large waterwheel was not found in any ancient book, but an old object that had been gradually phased out in his hometown in his memory. However, it still has a certain degree of "advancedness" here, which can reduce labor costs and improve efficiency.
In times of severe drought, it should be able to play a certain role.
Of course, he did not have nothing to gain by offering this large water tanker at this time. Firstly, it would enhance the Zhang family's influence around Fengxi County, and secondly, it would also enhance his own influence.
He had already guessed that as his influence increased, the more feedback he would get from worshiping his ancestors.
But being able to save the common people and the elders around me is even more what I wish for.
Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Jian in surprise. He waved to the housekeeper Zhang Hu and ordered people to go and test it.
That Zhang Hu is the father of Zhang Lu, the boy beside Zhang Jian.
Zhang Yi had a smile on his face at this moment: "Brother Jian, if this happens, your merits will be immeasurable!"
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Father, this matter is due to my Zhang family's immeasurable merit!"
Zhang Yi remained calm and just stroked his beard slightly.
Zhang Jian immediately stood up and left. He glanced at Zhang Yi and saw clearly what his father was thinking.
Zhang Yi can be said to have a heroic heart.
Up to Zhang Yi's generation, the Zhang family is indeed full of outstanding people. They are already local leaders in Fengxi, and they also have considerable influence in Fengyang County.
It was not surprising that Zhang Yi started to think about it just as the first signs of troubled times appeared.
Other thoughts flashed through the minds of the Zhang family. At this time, it can only be said that they have read too few previous life books. Many things are known but not why. Otherwise, if used properly, they can become a good medicine for the Zhang family to solidify their foundation.
However, there are still a few things in his mind that can help the Zhang family. One is the method of purifying salt, and the other is the method of secondary quenching of swords.
This is knowledge that was inadvertently memorized from some entertainment channels, and may be helpful to the expansion of the Zhang family.
After all, a hero needs a huge family fortune to support his rise.
Soon after, Zhang Yi received the news from Zhang Hu.
"Sir, I asked several masters in the workshop to check it carefully, and I can almost confirm that the big waterwheel is indeed feasible!"
"Although it has some limitations and may not be able to irrigate too much fertile land, it can also alleviate some of the drought!"
Zhang Hu had some excitement on his face.
There is a severe drought around Fengyang County, and Fengxi borders the surrounding counties and cities, so it will inevitably be affected.
The appearance of this improved large-tube waterwheel at this time can inspire people's hearts, especially it will greatly enhance the cohesion of the Zhang family. Doesn't it mean that the sky is looking down on the Zhang family?
It can be said that God has blessed the Zhang family with auspiciousness.
Otherwise, such a drought-fighting ‘sharp weapon’ would not appear in the Zhang family at this time!
"Then what are you waiting for? Let the masters in the workshop put it into production immediately. Once this product is produced, it can be put into Fengxi County and can be leased to the local people at a low price on a large scale!"
Zhang Yi also realized the significance of the appearance of the waterwheel to the Zhang family.
Zhang Hu heard this and said hurriedly: "Sir, if this is the case, the county magistrate will inevitably think too much about it?"
Zhang Yi frowned.
The county magistrate Yang Qingnai was the eyes and ears of the imperial court. He was a smart and capable man with a vicious mind and was very difficult to deal with.
He has always been extremely wary of local heroes. Although he looks kind-hearted on the outside, he is actually very tough.
The local wealthy people in Fengxi secretly call him the Smiling Tiger.
Zhang Yi sneered when he heard this: "Yang Qing is just trying to gain fame and reputation. He is honest and honest on the surface, but in fact he is greedy and shameless. He has already been eyeing our wealth for a long time, but due to the influence of local wealthy families like us, he dare not take any action. This person is really difficult to deal with.
!”
"If it were in the past, he would definitely not sit back and watch, and would definitely interfere, but now the wave of refugees from outside Fengxi County is coming, and he still needs me and other local wealthy people to help him stabilize the overall situation. He doesn't dare to mess around!
"
"In addition, write a book and send this map to your sixth brother immediately, so that he can present it to the court. It is so auspicious that no one can take advantage of Yang Qing!"
Zhang Yi sneered.
It’s not like the Zhang family doesn’t have a mouthpiece.
Among the six Zhang brothers, in addition to the second and fifth brothers who died young, there were four other brothers, the eldest brother Zhang Yi, the third brother Zhang Yun, the fourth brother Zhang Kui and the sixth brother Zhang Duan.
Zhang Duannai was a Jinshi of the Eight Classics of the country and was now appointed as the magistrate of the state. He was responsible for the military affairs of the state and county, and he held a high and powerful position.
Zhang Yi still felt a little regretful. If possible, he would prefer to let Zhang Jian use this "auspicious sign" to establish a reputation, which would definitely be helpful for the examination of the Ministry of Rites.
However, as the head of the family, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yi decided to let Zhang Duan enjoy this power exclusively.
This will be of greater benefit to Zhang Duan and even the entire Zhang family.
As the head of the Zhang family, he has to weigh the pros and cons of some things.
However, he will naturally compensate Zhang Jian accordingly.
After hearing this, Zhang Hu, who was standing next to him, was sincerely convinced and secretly admired him.
To be able to endure the love for his son and to bestow such great achievements on his brothers shows Zhang Yi's magnanimity.
Zhang Hu became more and more eager.
These are troubled times, perhaps under the leadership of Zhang Yi, the Zhang family can finally transcend the gap between ordinary local aristocrats and aristocratic families, princes and princes!
…
On the other side, after hanging out in Zhang Yi's study for a while, I gained something.
The scattered inner energy in the various orifices around Zhang Jian was finally completely condensed into one stream.
This inner breath is like an arm directing it.
It seems that he can break through the shackles of his own great universe at any time and break out of his body.
"It's a pity that although the Yunyuan Health Sutra creates a peaceful and pure inner breath, it still lacks a bit of grandeur and breadth!"
At this time, in the study room, Zhang Jian put down an ancient book in his hand, with some hesitation in his expression.
He looked at the many ancient books on the bookshelf.
There are many usable internal refining methods in these ancient books.
