Chapter 88: On Agriculture

Zhang Ge rushed forward to take a look, only to see two soldiers from the artillery division stepping on wooden wheels as if walking.

The rotation of the wooden wheel drives the leaf plates arranged in sequence upward, and the canal water is brought to the high fields by the leaf plates and flows out like flowing water.

Zhang Ge's smiling face suddenly darkened. He was stunned for a while, then he casually cupped his hands towards Shen Bing, said "goodbye" and turned around to leave.

Well, there is still an ignorant peasant disciple shouting from behind:

"Senior brother, I'm waiting for this Jue..."

Zhang Ge turned around and roared:

"Just burn it, no need to say anything more!"

As he was talking, he staggered and almost tripped over a branch, which only made everyone around him laugh.

This made Zhang Ge even more embarrassed and ran away as if running away.

Cang looked at Zhang Ge's leaving figure and said with a proud smile:

"Senior brother, you built waterwheels one after another and overturned them, but you also made the big disciple of the farmer angry away!"

Hui stood aside and sighed:

"No wonder that Zhang Ge is so angry."

"Even I can't bear to feel jealous..."

When Yan heard what Xi said, he couldn't believe it. He glared and immediately said:

"Then the farmer's kid is just a chicken belly. Why is Master Zuo so jealous?"

"Is it possible that the farmers have to build this waterwheel and overturn it to comply with the wishes of Engineer Zuo?"

As an artilleryman, Yan should not have spoken to Xi like this.

But he was a Gaul and didn't understand or could be said to be disdainful of these illegal rules, so he was outspoken and embarrassed on the spot.

But Hui didn't care about it.

Even if they care about it, they dare not. They have seen Yan's martial arts before. When he blocked a small group of Zhao army's northern soldiers in Woniu Mountain, he was only injured in the end.

Not everyone can stop Zhao Jun's northern soldiers, but Yan still blocked a small group.

Therefore, all the artillerymen were respectful and fearful of Yan, and even Ren were afraid of Yan...

Therefore, Hu only glanced at Shen Bing awkwardly, raised his hands and explained:

"My subordinates have no intention of doing so."

"It's just that the subordinates' efforts in one lifetime are not as good as the work of the engineers in two days. It is inevitable that they will feel sad."

"My subordinate thought that Zhang Ge also thought the same way, so..."

Shen Bing nodded and said he didn't mind.

In fact, he understood what Xu wanted to express. If he was really jealous, he would not say it.

It's just that I don't understand the profoundness of Chinese, so my understanding is biased and leads to misunderstandings.

But... I don't know how to explain it to Yan.

I don’t know when Xu Ying squeezed in.

Xu Ying was dressed in coarse brown clothes and wore a bamboo hat, just like a farmer, so Shen Bing didn't recognize him until he walked in front of him.

Xu Ying stared at the overturned car with wide eyes, and then hurriedly asked Shen Bing:

"Engineer, what is this?"

"Is this thing also made by you?"

"How can it lead to water and high fields?"

Shen Bing cupped his hands and replied:

"Returning to internal history is exactly the work of my subordinates."

"This thing is called a rollover, also known as a keel waterwheel."

"Water can be diverted from high places by human power."

Xu Ying took a few steps closer to look at the overturned car, nodding and sighing as he looked:

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Just now we noticed that the water tanker was insufficient and could not be used in ditches."

"I didn't expect the engineers to make this overturned car right away."

"Although this vehicle is driven by manpower, it can divert water easily and quickly. I don't know how many times better than the Jumei."

"In the future, there will be waterwheels that can be used for rivers and can be used for ditches. There will be no need to worry about severe droughts not being cured."

After saying that, he bowed his hands towards Shen Binggong:

"The engineers are talented, the engineers are talented! I promise to be ashamed of myself."

"Before, it was said that we would accept work masters as apprentices, but now it seems..."

"It's better for the engineer to accept this old man as his apprentice."

When Xu Ying said that, there was really some hope in his eyes.

Shen Bing quickly replied:

"Naishi is joking."

"Shen Bing, these are just vulgar tasks, how can they be worthy of the eyes of an internal historian!"

Just kidding, Xu Ying is a great sage, what will happen if he is accepted as his disciple?

Even if Xu agreed, his disciples would not agree.

Even if his disciples agree...

If I go, even if those disciples agree, I can't, right?

Shen Bing suddenly thought, if he really wanted to accept Xu Ying as his disciple, wouldn't he have to join a farm or even manage the entire farm?

Then he goes to the fields in brown clothes...

sure!

This almost caught Xu Yingdao.

This person seems to be an honest man, but I didn’t expect him to dig holes!

Xu Ying may also know that this is unlikely, his eyes showed a little disappointment, and he sighed:

"I am an old man who does not have this blessing."

"However, tomorrow at Wu Shi the farmer's house will discuss farming at the old man's place."

"I hope the engineer can come and give me some advice, but I don't know if the engineer..."

Shen Bing quickly replied:

"certainly."

"If there is no military affairs at hand, my subordinates will definitely arrive!"

Xu Ying nodded happily.

"So good."

"Engineers don't have to worry about military affairs. I will inform the general on my own."

"At that time, the old man and a group of disciples are waiting for the master of engineering."

Shen Bing hurriedly replied:

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Looking at Xu Ying's leaving figure, Shen Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it was quite stressful to contact Xu Ying.

Now he has to join a farm, and now he has to accept a disciple. Shen Bing doesn't know how to reject this great sage, so he always feels embarrassed.

Now that I have finally stopped talking about these things, if I am asked to participate in a discussion on agriculture, can I still refuse to agree?

However, what is this discussion about agriculture?

Hui seemed to know what it was, and looked at Shen Bing with envy in his eyes.

When I asked, I found out that the original so-called "discussing agriculture" was to discuss how to farm in the future.

What's there to envy? Isn't it just a meeting to say a few words?

However, Hui said:

"The engineer doesn't know something."

"Those who can participate in the discussion on agriculture are all farmers from all over the country."

"The words on agriculture will be recorded in books and taught to various places by the children of farmers..."

"If the engineers' suggestions are accepted, they will soon be known to the people of the world."

Shen Bing couldn't help but say "oh".

The farmhouse model is a bit interesting.

Gather the intellectuals together for discussion, come up with an optimal farming plan, and then disperse them to implement guidance...

Later, Shen Bing realized that this discussion on agriculture was usually just a formality.

Because the best farming plan has long been determined based on previous experiments and agricultural discussions and even formed legal provisions.

Subsequently, the farmer will organize a farming discussion before farming every year as usual.

This is a gathering and ritual formed by farmers.

Second, if there are new situations that need to be solved, you can also brainstorm ideas.

The other is to exchange farming experience and seek development.

For example, the drought in the three counties this time is a big problem. This is one of the reasons why the Farmers' Association was arranged in Handan: to gather elites from all over the country to have a look on the ground and then discuss a solution.

But at this time, the drought has almost been resolved or a solution has been found.

So this discussion on agriculture is still just a formality.

Shen Bing thought that it would be enough if he just showed up.
