Xiao Nan also looked at Qin Yu with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother-in-law, what is a waterwheel? A car that runs in the water?"
Qin Yu: "..."
He now realized that something was wrong with this matter.
The level of agricultural irrigation in Dawei is still very low, and many irrigation tools are not yet available.
at the same time.
Emperor Wei and others also gathered around.
Looking at Qin Yu's confused look.
Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Son-in-law, do you have any good ideas again?"
He knew that Qin Yu would have to show off a little at this time.
Others also looked at Qin Yu expectantly.
Qin Yu is also quite proficient in the agricultural field.
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "I really have a small idea that can solve the problem of the water level dropping and rebuilding the canal."
Hear this.
Emperor Wei was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Hahaha... I know you must have a solution. How about I send someone to you now?"
Everyone was not shocked that Qin Yu had a way, because this was his basic operation.
But they were curious about what kind of good solution Qin Yu had to solve this problem.
Qin Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will make a list and ask the Ministry of War to send people and craftsmen."
Emperor Wei hurriedly looked at Lu Liangping, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, "Lu Aiqing, did you hear that? Your Ministry of Industry is going to take advantage of the prince-in-law again, so hurry up and call someone."
Lu Liangping was even more excited, "Prince-in-law, just give me your instructions."
It's not surprising that Lu Liangping was excited about this matter. Qin Yu often had a small idea, and he didn't know how much trouble he could save the Ministry of Industry.
Qin Yu then wrote the order on the spot.
The Mengzhan army rushed back to Jinling City to gather materials and troops.
With Emperor Wei here watching over him, the efficiency was surprisingly high.
Qin Yu and others are waiting here.
Emperor Wei looked at the old man and said hurriedly: "Village Chief Zhao, you don't need to dig this irrigation canal."
When they were chatting just now, Emperor Wei already knew the identity of the old man. He was the head of Zhaojia Village.
These men are the people of Zhaojia Village.
Listen to what Emperor Wei said.
Village Chief Zhao and all the men looked at him with doubts.
Village Chief Zhao looked at Emperor Wei and asked: "Sir, what do you mean..."
Lu Liangping said hurriedly: "Well, let me introduce you again. This is His Majesty the Emperor of Wei, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and this is the Prince Consort..."
Listen to Lu Liangping.
Village Chief Zhao and others were stunned at first, and then were shocked. They hurriedly put down the tools in their hands, climbed to the shore, knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Wei and Qin Yu, "Common people, please see your Majesty, please see His Royal Highness, and please see Your Majesty."
, see adults.”
Village Chief Zhao knew that Emperor Wei and the others were not ordinary people, but he really didn't expect that the background of this group of people was so big.
All the people at the peak of power in the Wei Dynasty are here.
Emperor Wei smiled calmly, "No need to be polite. I didn't want to reveal my identity, but today my consort can solve your irrigation canal problem, so I have to tell you the truth. Please get up."
Regarding the irrigation canals, Qin Yu also mobilized a lot of materials and craftsmen, so the project must not be small.
For such a big matter, Emperor Wei must have a showdown with Village Chief Zhao, otherwise these people would probably call him crazy.
Hear this.
Village Chief Zhao and the others were naturally very happy.
The Prince Consort's ability is still trustworthy. With the Prince Consort here, this irrigation canal can definitely be solved.
At the same time, Village Chief Zhao also felt lucky that he had not said the wrong thing just now, otherwise he would have offended all the most powerful people in Wei Dynasty.
The prince-in-law could solve the problem of the irrigation canal, and everyone was free.
An hour later.
Returning from the Mongolian War, he brought officials from the Ministry of Industry, craftsmen and Qin Yu in need of various raw materials.
In fact, Qin Yu's idea is very simple, which is to make a simple barrel wheel, which is a type of waterwheel.
Although there were waterwheels in this era, they were relatively simple and there were no large waterwheels that could lead water from low levels to high places.
After the materials are in place.
Qin Yu began to take the drawings and instruct the craftsmen to make the barrel cart on the spot.
The barrel cart is not a difficult thing. The structure is very simple and can be built with wood.
Emperor Wei, a group of humiliators, and people from Zhaojia Village were watching.
The biggest thing among them is the big wooden wheel in the middle, which is more time-consuming to make.
Then the bamboo tube is installed on the runner.
The next step is to insert the big runner into the water, and then install the flow channel.
The water flow drives the water wheel to rotate, filling the bamboo tube on the wooden wheel with water, and then the water is lifted ashore and introduced into the irrigation canal.
In fact, the bobbin truck can not only introduce river water into irrigation canals, but also introduce water from irrigation canals into fields.
Sunset and dusk.
Qin Yu finally led the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to build the barrel cart.
Today, Emperor Wei and his friends had lunch by the river. They ate farm food from Zhaojiacun, but it was given to Emperor Wei and everyone else.
Of course this does not refer to taste but to mood.
Whether the common people live a rich life or not is now something that Emperor Wei and others have a deep understanding of.
at the same time.
Everyone gathered around the huge water wheel.
Everyone was amazed when they looked at this huge thing.
Only the Prince Consort can develop such a skill.
"Good son-in-law, is this the water-carrying tool you mentioned?"
Emperor Wei couldn't wait to ask.
Qin Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "This thing is called a waterwheel. It is specially used for irrigation. It can bring water from low places to high places. The most important thing is that this waterwheel does not require human or animal power. It only needs to be used in rivers with relatively fast currents."
All segments can be used.”
Emperor Wei was overjoyed and asked: "Then... then please quickly turn this cart around."
Emperor Wei was anxious.
The humerus bones are also eager to see through.
Qin Yu looked away from the several rungs on the trolley.
Immediately afterwards.
The huge barrel truck began to rotate under the impact of the turbulent water.
Water continued to pour down into the irrigation canal, and soon the water level in the irrigation canal became high.
Due to the drop in water level, it is very difficult to build irrigation canals, because the height of the entire irrigation canal must be downward, falling with the river. Otherwise, just by digging the mouth of the river, the water in the irrigation canal will not be able to flow to the fields.
Moreover, the efficiency of the drum cart is extremely high. "Turn this great wheel of Dharma to save you from the suffering of the drought."
In today's era, agriculture is actually very hard, and their tools are very backward.
As long as we have slightly more advanced tools, we can solve many, many troubles for the people.
Looking at the drum truck that continuously pours water from the river into the irrigation canal.
Emperor Wei, all the humiliators and the people of Zhaojiacun all had their eyes widened in disbelief.
