The 175th chapter irrigation magical keel waterwheel, the shock of the five great civil servants! (third shift 1)

"drought?"

Chen Chong's eyes narrowed slightly.

This is a very common disaster in ancient times.

If the disposal measures are unfavorable, irreversible consequences are likely to occur.

Don't be negligent!

Right now, Chen Chong waved his hand directly.

"Let them in!!

Not long after, under the leadership of the guards.

Five people, Gou Or, Chen Qun, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and Xu Shu entered the lobby and paid homage to Chen Chong.

"I'll wait to see the lord!"

Chen Chong nodded slightly and went straight in.

"Is it for the drought?

Gou or his face was very serious, and he nodded gravely.

"The lord is right, I am waiting for the drought!

"The current situation has developed to a very bad level, and all counties and counties in the state have suffered varying degrees of damage. In the past two days, the documents I have received for assistance have been piled up!"

"All places have begun to organize sacrifices to pray for rain, and the people are also actively saving themselves. Some people will even go to rivers dozens of miles away to pull water back!"

"But far away can't quench the near thirst, the seedlings in the fields are still dying!"

On the side, Chen Qun took the conversation, also solemnly.

"If the current trend continues, then the grain output of the entire Binzhou State will be greatly reduced this year, and it may even be directly reduced by half. This will directly affect the lives of the people, and it will also affect taxation.

"Of course, we have potatoes as the gods in our hands. The yield per mu is high, and they are relatively drought-resistant and cold-resistant. They are better to feed than wheat. They are less affected by drought, and they will not starve to death."

"If it really doesn't work, all the people will have to eat potatoes! I will eat them for a year, so let's talk about it for a while!

After listening to the two of them explain the specific situation, Chen Chong's eyes also passed a somewhat solemn expression.

The severity of the drought was even worse than he thought!

This is no small news!

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Chong said softly.

"Wen Ruo, you just mentioned that it hasn't rained in January, but there is still water in the river, right?"

Gou or focus on your head.

"There is water, but there is water, but the efficiency of washing the fields with water is too low, almost negligible!"

A light flashed in Chen Chong's eyes.

"Since there is water in the river, the situation is still within control. As long as the river water is introduced into the farmland, this drought can be alleviated!"

Several civil servants matched face to face.

Xu Shu said with a wry smile.

"Does the lord want to dig a canal to divert water? This is really wrong!"

"The manpower and material resources required to excavate the canal are too great!"

"The most important thing is that it takes at least one and a half years of working hours to excavate the canal. We have no time to waste now!"

Chen Chong waved his hand, narrowed his eyes, and turned to look at Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, you are in charge of Shang Gong."

"If I remember correctly, did the Shanggong Division report a few days ago that the master craftsman Ma Jun has already built a sample of the keel waterwheel?"

Zhuge Liang is naturally very clear about the situation of Shang Gongsi.

He nodded without hesitation.

"Master, there is indeed such a thing!"

"The keel waterwheel sample has been built!"

"But I haven't actually used it yet, I don't know the specific effect!"

Chen Chong stood up and spoke to the officials.

"Go, follow me to the Department of Shang Gong! If everything goes well, there will be a countermeasure for this drought!"

Everyone looked confused and a little confused.

This kind of drought is no less than a natural punishment!

What is a keel waterwheel, can it prevent Tiangong from raining?

However, this is Chen Chong's order.

Everyone is very familiar with Cheng Zhong, knowing that he definitely won't make jokes about this kind of thing.

At the moment, I followed Chen Chong and came to Shang Gongsi!

The master fisher hurried out to welcome.

"Master!"

Chen Chong waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to be polite.

"Deheng, I am here this time to show everyone your keel waterwheel!"

Hearing that, Ma Jun's eyes also flickered.

The keel waterwheel is his most proud masterpiece so far.

It is also his first gift to Chen Chong for the grace of knowing and encountering!

"Master, gentlemen, please wait a moment!"

Ma Jun spoke proudly, and then directed at the craftsman next to him and gave a softly.

The four craftsmen immediately produced a very strange shape.

It is composed of countless complicated wooden boards and many precision wheels and axles.

It looked like a long and slender dragon.

No wonder it is called a keel waterwheel!

Under the overall command of Horse Fishing, all the craftsmen worked together to install the keel waterwheel on the side of the pond.

Chen Chong sat next to him, watching all this enthusiastically.

Ma Jun smiled lightly, a look of complacency in his eyes.

"Master, gentlemen, look good!"

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers in the air.

Below, the craftsman immediately began to control.

They raised their hands and grabbed the crutches on the side and shook them vigorously.

Wow quack.

Countless wheels and axles all started a common movement at this moment.

Afterwards, those baffles also began to rattle.

The board at the bottom was suddenly electrically powered, and directly set off a stream of water in the pond!

Then, the baffles seemed to be handing over, sending this stream of water one by one!

The water in the pond rose directly up like this.

Mi Mi watered on the earth!

This magical scene made Gou Or and Chen Qun's eyes straighten for a while.

I can hardly believe my eyes!

This is really amazing!

You know, people want to pull water, but they have to pull it out of the river bucket by bucket.

This process is very difficult.

But now, there is a keel waterwheel, just a light shake, you can send a steady stream of water.

If the keel waterwheel is long enough, it can even pour water directly into the field.

It can easily make up for those seedlings that are already extremely thirsty!

For the people's irrigation, the keel waterwheel is completely an epoch-making invention, which can reduce the huge workload!

290

As long as the keel waterwheel can be popularized, the drought this time will be solved!

Lu Su laughed bitterly and spoke in a low voice.

"Since ancient times, water has flowed to low places. Today, I am really eye-opening. I actually saw the wonder of water going up high!"

Xu Shu also admired sincerely.

"Deheng deserves to be the number one in craftsmanship. This fantastic idea really makes me unable to wait for a horse!"

"The keel waterwheel has an agricultural significance that can be compared with the Quyuan Plow!"

"Benefit the country and the people, nothing better than this!"

"With this thing, Deheng is worthy of my respect!"

With that, Xu Shu suddenly bends down and bows to Ma Jun.

Gou Or, Chen Qun, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Su all bowed similarly.

This can surprise the horse fishing.

He hurriedly turned his body sideways, completely afraid to give such a gift from others!

"A few gentlemen, this is a shame to me!"

"The original idea of ​​this keel waterwheel was proposed by the lord. The task of studying the keel waterwheel was provided by the main bus. The place and materials for the research were provided by the lord!

"If you really want to talk about it, the lord is the first contributor to the birth of this keel waterwheel. I have only done a little work!

"If you really want to worship, then you should also worship the lord first!"

Hearing Ma Jun's words, Gou or several people were completely stunned.

Looking at Chen Chong with an unbelievable look.

Did they hear me right?

This keel waterwheel was actually designed by Chen Chong?
