Shen Bing immediately started teaching how to make a water wheel.
At this time, Wang Jian's previous arrangement actually worked.
For example, the county governor, county captain, Li Dian and others all came to learn from the scriptures.
Of course there is also a master book of records.
It's just that the target changed from Xu Yin to Shen Bing.
"Engineer, do you have a production pattern for this waterwheel?"
"Master Engineer, I will bring some craftsmen here someday. Can you teach me how to make a waterwheel?"
"Master Engineer, how about I arrange for a few craftsmen to become your master?"
There are a few more ruthless ones:
"Engineer, I heard that you haven't married yet. My family has a daughter to be married. I wonder what the engineer wants?"
"I also have a daughter in my family..."
…
What is this all about?
Am I, Shen Bing, that kind of person?
Will you pretend to be a public servant and try to get along with a dragon and a phoenix privately?
But if you are a beautiful woman, you can consider it.
Of course, there must be a production style, and the so-called style is the drawing.
It can be said that the Qin State was crazy about the unification of styles and demanded formatted production of everything.
Even agricultural land has many requirements, such as row spacing, farming methods, etc.
Shen Bing thinks this makes sense.
This aspect is to standardize agricultural tools, production, etc. to facilitate management and transportation.
On the other hand, the technical level of the people at the bottom in ancient times was, to be precise, the average technical level was too low.
If standards and behaviors are not unified, confusion and waste can easily occur.
For example, some people who don't know how to farm always cultivate rows too closely together.
Another example is that farm tools, especially plows, do not match the row spacing, etc.
The Qin State used laws to format these and institutionalize the integration of technology from top to bottom...
First, let a group of people who are educated, knowledgeable, and good at research, such as Xu Ying and his disciples, farm in the experimental fields to find the row spacing, plant spacing, planting method, etc. that they think are most suitable.
Once finalized, these will be passed down as laws.
People can be ignorant of farming techniques, but they cannot be ignorant of the law, otherwise they will be punished.
Although there will also be some waste.
For example, fertile farmland could have been planted more densely or without the need to fallow the fields, which is what we often call adapting to local conditions.
However, in the Qin Dynasty when the average quality of the people was low, people could not adapt to local conditions, so they simply used one model to fit all.
On the contrary, this will maximize food production and increase national tax revenue.
This is also the reason why the county lieutenant and the county guard immediately asked Shen Bing for the "style" of the waterwheel.
Qin's style requires details as far as the length and width, and even the components need to be formatted.
This put Shen Bing in a dilemma.
Because waterwheels cannot work unless they are adapted to local conditions...
The water flow is fast in some places, slow in some places, deep in some rivers and shallow in others.
If the uniform shape is swung to a place where the water flow is slow, it may not be able to turn!
After thinking about it, Shen Bing said:
"The size of the water tanker should be determined on site."
"In short, craftsmen in various places should first measure the distance between the water surface and the ditch."
"The water wheel only needs to be slightly larger than this distance."
"Otherwise, even if the bamboo tube scoops water, it will not be able to rise to the height of the ditch."
When Shen Bing said this, everyone said "oh".
This principle is not difficult to understand.
The bamboo tube goes down to scoop water and goes up to pour water. The height of the water wheel is of course a few minutes higher than the water level difference.
Shen Bing used this method to cleverly bypass the problem of uniform styles and achieve adaptability to local conditions.
However, this was not over yet. Shen Bing thought for a while and added something:
"If the water flow is too slow or the water depth is insufficient, small ditches or small dams can be built in the river to coordinate."
This is also easy to understand.
If the water flow is slow, you can pile some rocks nearby to attract more water and artificially make it faster.
If the water depth is not enough, dig a trench under the water wheel.
So there was basically no problem in the general direction. The remaining Shen Bing spread the drawings he had drawn in front of him, and everyone crowded in and copied them.
Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Bing said "hmm":
"Finally, it's true that I haven't married yet."
"Who just said that the family has a daughter to be married?"
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you:
"Have it?"
"is it you?"
"I didn't, who said that?"
"The engineer must have heard wrong!"
…
As he talked, he walked away, and soon the birds and beasts dispersed. Shen Bing couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
Don’t bring this kind of thing?
You are all officials of the imperial court, so you can't say things like this without counting them.
Shen Bing regretted it beyond words.
If you invent something next time, you must first get your "daughter".
Wang Jian on the other side was still dealing with Xu Ying carefully.
This is nothing to be negligent about.
Although the irrigation problem has been solved by Shen Bing...
Thinking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help but despise himself.
If Shen Bing could improve the trebuchet and create various fire bombs and even plan to kill Li Mu, what does it mean to invent a water wheel?
Why did you forget about him in the first place!
But there is no loss now. The waterwheel is now available. Juehao... let's put it aside for now.
Next, there are many issues such as farming and sowing, which still depend on promises.
In fact, these are not the most important things. What is more important is that Xu Yingnai is a great farmer.
What is a farmhouse?
The Nongjia is the school of thought "for the words of Shen Nong".
The world is divided into five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and seven heroes of the Warring States Period, but farmers from all countries are one family at all times.
Regardless of whether it is Zhao or Qin, farmers have to farm and eat, and they all hope that the cultivated land will produce high yields, so they all believe that farmers should respect farmers.
In other words, Yingzheng's grant of permission to the three counties to control drought actually had another profound meaning: to stabilize people's hearts.
How could Wang Jian not understand this truth, so he was always polite to Xu Ying and his party.
Wang Jian raised his glass to Xu Ying from a distance and said:
"Don't worry about internal history."
"Now that the engineers have made the water wheel, let the engineers use the water wheel to irrigate."
"If the waterwheel is feasible, it should not miss the farming season."
Xu Ying replied:
"We have seen with our own eyes that the water wheel is indeed feasible."
"Not only is it feasible, it's also many times better than Jue Meng."
"There are water trucks for irrigation, so I don't have to worry about missing the farming season."
Wang Jian smiled secretly in his heart but his face was very serious. He pretended to say "Oh":
"Then I don't know why...Why is Naishi still looking so sad and restless?"
Xu Ying shook his head and sighed:
"Shen Bing is an outstanding wood artist with innovative ideas and a unique style."
"If he can join our family at the right time, it will be of great help to our family."
"When my farm family grows, I can teach the people, and how many millions of people will benefit from it?"
"It's a pity that Shen Bing seems to have no intention..."
Wang Jian replied:
"Nei Shi, don't worry too much."
"After the farming season is over, I'll ask the internal historian how he is doing with Shen Bing?"
Xu Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"In this way, Xu Ying will thank the general in advance!"
He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
How did Xu Ying know that Wang Jian was just a cliche?
If Wang Jian wants Shen Bing to join the farm, why should he wait until the farming season is over? There is no need to "ask"!
