Chapter 801: [Waterwheel]

Chapter 801: [Water Truck]

...

What does this mean?

The fields were soaked in water. The thick black clouds in the sky seemed to know that the rain would not stop in the past few days. The rain continued to fall. Where can this field be saved?

Compared to the disbelief of others, Gui'e blindly believed Li Chengqian.

Fatty Zhu believed in Li Chengqian because of the powerful.

So on the court, only these two people believed him.

"Do you have any solutions?" Gui'e asked in a low voice.

Li Chengqian nodded and then said to the tenants: "Yes, I have a way. I will find a way now. What everyone needs to do now is to wait quietly here, take care of the elderly and children, and wait for me to make the things. Then you will rescue the crops in the fields!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian walked outside.

Fatty Zhu hurriedly followed him out.

Gui'e comforted a group of shocked and suspicious tenants, comforted her for a few words, and followed her out.

At this time, Li Chengqian was already giving orders to Fatty Zhu to find the carpenter in the village and to ask someone to go into the palace to pull the carpenter Lu. He now wants to make a water truck and drain the water from the field.

Waterwheel?

What is it?

Fatty Zhu didn't understand, but he didn't ask, and immediately went to do the matter for Li Chengqian. He ran out and met the first person who was the eldest brother. He immediately pulled his strong man and asked him to find a carpenter.

He himself went to the palace to find Carpenter Lu to leave the palace.

Half an hour later, Carpenter Lu arrived.

He had already listened to Fatty Zhu's orders on the way, and he could only call Li Chengqian the master outside. He could not tell his identity as the prince.

Although he was puzzled, he still did.

When he arrived at the imperial village, Li Chengqian was already drawing drawings.

Waterwheel, also known as Kongming chariot, is the oldest agricultural irrigation tool in our country. It is a superb labor skill created by our ancestors in the process of conquering the world. It is a precious historical and cultural heritage. It is said that it was created by Hualan during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han. After being transformed and improved by Kongming during the Three Kingdoms, it was promoted and used in Shu Kingdom. It was widely used in agricultural irrigation during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The water wheels that Li Chengqian saw when he came to the Tang Dynasty were actually like the water windmills made by Li Chengqian last time, and they relied on the water flow to bring water into the fields.

This is for irrigation.

But it was still too simple, and Li Chengqian simplified part of it last time.

However, this kind of water windmill can only draw water by water flowing. There is no way to pump out the water from the field.

What Li Chengqian has to do now is to be able to pump out the water from the field.

There was a kind of water wheel in later generations, which was a streamlined shape, three or four meters long. The wooden chain pumped the water up. One end of the water wheel was placed in the water and the other end on the shore. A person shaking the wheel of the water wheel to drive the wooden chain. This principle is somewhat similar to the wheel of a bicycle.

According to the principles on the drawings, I told Master Lu that it was easier to understand.

After Master Lu understood the core principle, the technical difficulties of wood chains were handled by Master Lu himself.

Fortunately, Master Lu has rich jingyàn. He has been with Li Chengqian for almost a year and has not done anything Li Chengqian has, so he has all the things Li Chengqian wants to do.

After studying the drawings for a while, Master Lu ordered someone to go to the palace to find Blacksmith Zhang. He asked Blacksmith Zhang to get a few iron chopsticks and a few iron nails. He also pulled Master Lu's disciples over.

After exploring for an afternoon, Master Lu talked about how to assemble the water truck of the principle mentioned by Li Chengqian with wood.

This assembly work is a meticulous job, I am afraid it will not be completed today.

It started raining heavily outside again.

Just as Li Chengqian was sitting next to him and discussing the waterwheel with Master Lu, a man wearing a straw raincoat ran in outside the village.

Fatty Zhu received him. After a while, Fatty Zhu quietly walked over and whispered to Li Chengqian: "The Queen is looking for you."

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this. This was very simple. Li Chengqian also heard the richer content of the simple words. On this rainy day, Li Chengqian ran out, and the queen must have been anxious and asked someone to come and find him.

Thinking of the queen's angry look, Li Chengqian's face turned pale and turned bad.

It seems that I have to go back. Li Chengqian looked outside and it was still raining.

He said, "I know, I'll go back after the rain stops."

Fatty Zhu also knew that the weather made Li Chengqian go back now, but I was afraid that the queen would be even more angry.

He nodded, stepped back, and talked to the eunuch.

Gui'e also noticed the situation on Li Chengqian's side, but she couldn't hear what she was saying. After Fatty Zhu left, she came over and asked Li Chengqian with concern what was going on.

Of course, Li Chengqian cannot say that the queen is looking for her son to go back for education.

It can only be said that someone is looking for it in the palace.

Gui'e was moved when she thought that Li Chengqian ran out of the palace to see her on a rainy day, and gave up her job to see her, and she couldn't help but feel moved again.

I was afraid that the rain would fall until tomorrow, but I didn't expect that it would stop after only half an hour. Li Chengqian seized the time, waved to Gui'e, and went back to the palace.

Master Lu and others did not go back, so they wanted to stay in the imperial village to make the water wheel overnight.

When I returned to the East Palace, the rain started to rain again.

Li Chengqian was thinking, it was raining now, right? Then there was no need to go to Lizheng Hall in the rain, right?

Of course, Li Chengqian would not admit that he was not suffering because he was afraid that he would bear the queen's anger when he went now. If he wanted to wait until tomorrow, the queen would be relieved and there would be nothing to do tomorrow.

However, he still knew in his heart that the eunuch would tell the queen that he had returned.

"Come on, go and report to the queen, after..." Li Chengqian entered Lizheng Hall, and his voice was stuck halfway through his speech.

He was stunned at the middle-aged woman in front of him. Beside her was Su Mi who was dressed thickly and moisture-proof, and the small Xiao Chen. On the table on the other side was the hippo who was playing with the cat's eyes playing with the stones.

"Uh, that... Mother, you are here!" Li Chengqian smirked, shook his hand, and greeted him.

"Hmph, you also know that I am your mother. Why don't you keep my words in your heart? Why don't you come here quickly..." the queen snorted angrily.

Li Chengqian scratched the back of his head and walked slowly over. As soon as he walked to the front of the queen, the queen's jade hand reached over, like a flash of lightning. Her jade hand seemed to have a life-like soul, heading straight to Li Chengqian's perfect ear.

"ah!"

A sound that didn't sound like a human scream started.

In the evening of this evening, this sound that was not human was kept ringing.

The singing of the national flag lowering outside is shouting north and south!
Chapter completed!
