Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination
Chapter 13: Waterwheel drawings
Pei Yunxiao clung to Tang Hang's arm tightly, his eyes closed tightly, and he bit his posterior molar to prevent himself from screaming.
Somehow, after spinning around several times, Pei Yunxiao's feet finally landed on the ground.
She opened her eyes in shock, only to realize that she had really landed on the terrace steadily!
"Okay." Tang Hang reminded in a low voice.
It was only at this moment that he had retrieved some of the smart and lovely Xiao brother in his memory.
Sometimes Tang Hang asked himself, if he changed Pei Yunxiao to someone else, he might not like his noble background, would be jealous, would be unhappy.
But for Pei Yunxiao, Tang Heng never felt this way at all.
Maybe it was because of the friendship that lasted for only seven days, or maybe he was able to read her deliberately suppressed nature from the lines of Pei Yunxiao's letters.
Pei Yunxiao, who grew up in Pei's house in Beijing, is far less relaxed and comfortable than Pei Yunxiao who lives in Qingshan County. This was true five years ago, and it is true today.
Pei Yunxiao didn't notice Tang Hang's slightly deep gaze, because at this time, there were some words in the room.
She poke a hole in the window paper with her finger, held her breath, and attached it to take a closer look.
In the room, Zhang Bai nodded and bowed to flattery in front of Fenyanghou. On the contrary, the four leaders of the salt gang were shown to be neither humble nor overbearing.
"...What you mean is that Zhezhou has now been customized as a distribution center..."
"Master Hou doesn't know, the original one has been targeted by the court. The goal is too big and it is risky..."
"...It's not impossible to change the route to Zhezhou, but the freight..."
"It's easy to say. This is the certificate of the Hejia Xingyuan Silver Number. Please don't worry, Lord Hou..."
"...Master Zhang has done a great job to Benhou, this hundred taels will be considered as a dividend for you..."
"Thank you Lord Hou, Qingshan County is under the control of the lower officials, Lord Hou don't have to worry..."
"...If so, then..."
After more than half an hour, the people in the room finished talking and left with satisfaction.
Pei Yunxiao and Tang Heng stood on the terrace, their expressions very solemn.
"Chaozhong just killed a group of salt gang leaders, they still don't know how to constrain. The He family looks like they are going to jump the wall in a hurry." Pei Yunxiao said.
"Brother, we have to go back immediately and report this matter to the capital immediately."
As soon as he returned to the official post, Pei Yunxiao immediately passed the book to Beijing Feige.
When she came out of Beijing, whether it was Pei Ling or the emperor, it was the same attitude. It must be wishful thinking that the He family wanted to intervene in the private salt business. However, because of the complex forces in it, rash moves will alarm the hidden forces.
At that time they will hide, and there will be endless troubles.
Right now, after listening to the conversation between Fenyanghou and several salt gang leaders, Pei Yunxiao also felt that the case was not that simple. I am afraid that when the time comes to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, the forces in the south of the Yangtze River will be affected.
Therefore, Pei Yunxiao could only send a book to ask for instructions on the next step.
After a while, Jinnian and Jinhe also returned.
"How's it going?"
"Back to the little son, the accounts are indeed not in Yuelai Inn."
Pei Yunxiao had thought that this would be the case, and was not surprised: "The He family has always been cautious in doing things. The accounts of the Fenyanghou and the Liang family are afraid that they will be detained by them as evidence."
"Then what should we do now? They have already met, and the leader of the salt gang and Fenyanghou are afraid that they will both set off to turn around. Which one shall we follow?"
Pei Yunxiao thought for a while: "Jinhe, you go to Zhezhou first, and wait for the salt gang on the road to try if you can find their lair. Jinnian stays, let's wait for the book in Beijing."
"As for Fenyanghou... he is useless. Keep him for now, and you will be an accomplice in the future."
The Chuanshu in Jingzhong arrived in the afternoon two days later, and there were two copies in total. One is from the Imperial City of Dali, the one in the Golden Palace; the other is from Zhaoyutang of Pei Mansion.
Pei Yunxiao looked at the two pieces of paper placed on the table, feeling a little inexplicably.
One is the emperor in the Golden Palace, and the other is the emperor in the family. Who really held the power of the Dali Dynasty?
"Brother Xiao, what's the news in Beijing?" Tang Heng sat opposite, questioning.
Pei Yunxiao's mood was very relaxed. Because the meaning of the emperor and grandfather Pei Ling coincide.
The emperor's note wrote: Don't act rashly and startle the snake; and Pei Ling sent only one word-"Jing"!
"Brother is relieved, this matter is put on hold for the time being, just waiting for Jinhe's news."
"Alright. So what's your plan for Brother Xiao?"
Pei Yunxiao's eyes lit up: "It's rare to leave Beijing and meet my brother again. Why should I stay here for a while."
"Brother, can you still remember that you and I agreed to go to the examination hall together and have a showdown?"
Tang Hang nodded: "Of course, I never dared to forget. It's just..."
"Brother is in trouble?" Pei Yunxiao asked hurriedly.
"It's not for this. It's..." Tang Heng did seem to be very worried: "Now is the time when the spring and summer are handed over, and the Tianzhong seedlings are in need of water. But this day has not seen rain for several months. If this continues, we will wait for the autumn harvest. At that time, there was no harvest of the land. This winter, I am afraid I will be sad..."
Pei Yunxiao thought about it for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, secretly happy.
I'm coming! Isn't this coming?
She thinks about it, and she is looking forward to it in the evening, but she has waited until this day!
In the original book, Tang Hang not only improved the steelmaking method, but also made a waterwheel for farmland irrigation, which became famous overnight.
Pei Yunxiao couldn't help but gear up. If she didn't get in on this big event, she would be sorry for herself!
Tang Hang really wanted to make a farm tool.
Since he discovered that he had a god-given opportunity, in the past five years he has become more and more proficient in the use of knowledge in his brain. Even so, his brain's knowledge seems to be undiminished.
After hearing a piece of music by the gate of the brothel, there are many more books of ballads and music scores in your mind...
After resting for a while at the gate of the forge, a set of steelmaking techniques appeared in my mind...
And just a few days ago, when he was standing in the self-cultivation field of the Tang family worrying about nowhere to divert water for irrigation, a strange blueprint popped up in his mind.
After he drew the drawings and studied it for a few days, he was surprised to find that it was a waterwheel with extremely novel structure and principles, and it was able to solve his current urgent needs!
But such a big waterwheel could never be completed by himself. He needs manpower and financial resources, but unfortunately he doesn't have it now.
But... Tang Hang glanced at Pei Yunxiao on the opposite side.
Tang Heng is convinced that once this kind of waterwheel is built, it will not only benefit the three-acre land in Tangjiazhuang and Qingshan County, but also benefit the people all over the world. With Pei Yunxiao's mind, Tang Heng didn't believe that he was not moved.
In this way, he can not only get Pei Yunxiao's support, but also show his abilities in front of Pei Yunxiao. If he can be recommended by the Pei family in the future, why can't he keep pace?
Thinking of this, Tang Heng went on to say: "Brother Xiao is knowledgeable, he should know. In the south of the Yangtze River, there are few flat areas and many hills. Most of the fields in Tangjiazhuang are on the slopes. The river is in the valley, and the fields are on the hillside. On the ground, the dug canals can only irrigate the crops on the flat ground.
The generations of Zhuangzhong depend on the sky for food, rely on rain when it rains, and pick water and mountains when it does not rain. But seeing the severe drought is approaching, there is no rain, and the river water is just a drop in the bucket. But now that the imperial court is taxing heavily, if the harvest is lost, countless families will be ruined. "
Tang Heng said it sincerely. In this world, it is difficult for the people to live, and Tang Hang is also a flat-headed people, knowing that it is suffering.
He also believed that just based on his understanding of Pei Yunxiao, he believed that Pei Yunxiao would definitely help him.
After listening to it, Pei Yunxiao felt very impressed.
In the Dali dynasty, farmers without food harvests would have no source of income, and they would not be able to pay land rents and household taxes. Generally, at this time, farmers have only two choices, borrow usury, sell their children and sell their daughters, or seek the blessing of the big landlords.
If one's own land is included in the acres sheltered by the family, there is no need to pay taxes to the court, and the family's tax is generally lower than that of the court. But in this way, the self-employed farmer has become a tenant farmer, and his life and death are in the hands of the landlord of the family. How can life be better?
"Is there anything my elder brother wants me to do? I am in love with my elder brother as brothers. If you have anything to say, just speak bluntly!"
"Brother Yu really wants to ask Brother Xiao for help, but he doesn't know how to start."
As he said, Tang Hang took out a blueprint from his arms: "I thought and thought for many days before designing such a waterwheel. Trying to use the water from the flat ground to irrigate high places may solve the urgent need for water for farmland."
Pei Yunxiao took a look, and his eyes became more and more pleasantly surprised.
The drawing on the drawing is the water-lift truck "invented" by Tang Hang in the original work, which can lift water from rivers and ditches in plains to slopes several meters high to irrigate farmland.
In the original book, Tang Heng used almost all his savings to build this waterwheel. Bai Qingqing, who admired Tang Hang, also gave some silver to help.
After the completion of the waterwheel, the whole county was in an uproar, and Tang Heng became famous in the first battle. For the sake of his political achievements, the county magistrate Zhang Bai invited Tang Hengqin to build dozens of water-lifting trucks, which greatly alleviated the problem of irrigation in the dry season.
Right now, there is a high probability that the bridge section where Bai Qingqing gives the silver two will not happen. Pei Yunxiao touched his nose with some guilty conscience...
With such a big pie right in front of her eyes, Pei Yunxiao naturally wanted to take credit for assisting Tang Hang.
"This picture is wonderful!" Pei Yunxiao patted the table.
"Brother is so ingenious and must not be buried! Don't worry, this matter is on my body! Brother just let it go, I will find a way for the money."
"Don't do it!" Tang Hang hurriedly stopped: "I'm just talking on paper, I don't know if it can be useful!"
Tang Hang's words were not modest.
The knowledge in his mind has always said what it is, not why it is. Therefore, he has to study everything by himself to understand.
But there is also a benefit, that is, he is not drawing a gourd, but he has really learned and thoroughly learned the knowledge, and he can truly apply what he has learned.
But this waterwheel, he hasn't studied it too much yet.
"Brother's ability, I am convinced." Pei Yunxiao brought his own perspective of God, confident: "Besides, isn't there still me? Three heads can beat Zhuge Liang."
"But back and forth, it requires labor and money, this..."
"I'm not afraid of this." Pei Yunxiao showed a "treacherous" smile.
