Chapter 292 Magical Water Dragon

Chapter 288

The drought-stricken farmers on Wei Hao's side all came to shake the water dragons. With so many water dragons, the water volume is very large, and one mu of land will soon be wet, and then the next piece of land, Wei Hao is watching along the water channel.

"Thank you, Young Master!" The old men who released the water here said to Wei Hao with their arms folded when they saw Wei Hao.

"Well, it's much faster this way?" Wei Hao asked with a smile.

"It's much faster. With so many water dragons, it's still possible to irrigate hundreds of acres of land a day. If we just wet the land, we can irrigate even more!" the old man said with a smile on his face.

Now, with so many water dragons, they can basically irrigate seven or eight yuan of land at a time. As for how to arrange them to irrigate the land, that is their business. If there is any injustice, they will find Wei Furong.

However, they are all from the village, and there is nothing unfair. Everyone wants to save their own rice fields, and they can only do it in the order of the rice fields. You can’t stop working because you have watered your own land, that’s not okay. Yes, at that time Wei Furong will also take back their land and will not give them land to grow.

Wei Hao patrolled around here and found that the water was flowing fast, and he felt relieved, so he came to the river again. Those people were still working. At this moment, there were also many people watching here, especially those from other villages. People, they are also facing drought, and now they see that Wei Hao has a solution, so they all come to watch.

"I'll leave this place to you, hurry up and water the ground, don't dry it to death, the old man will go back first!" Wei Furong said to the people.

"Boss, don't worry, we can take care of it ourselves, but we dare not let the boss and the young master worry about these things."

"Boss, why don't you go back? It's hot!"

"Boss, don't worry!" Those old men smiled and said to Wei Furong.

"Well, Hao'er, let's go back!" Wei Furong said to them with a smile, then got on the horse and rode to Chang'an.

When we arrived in Chang'an, the weather was already very hot. Wei Hao thought about it, but he still didn't want to go to the palace. The main reason was that it was too hot. Wei Hao thought about going tomorrow. Today, he should rest at home for a day. Anyway, he came back by himself. It is for debriefing.

"Hao'er, pack up and go to the palace!" At home, Wei Furong got off his horse and said to Wei Hao.

"I don't want to go today, it's too hot!" Wei Hao also got off his horse and said.

"That won't work, you came back yesterday, you have to go to His Majesty's side today, you can't be so rude!" Wei Furong told Wei Hao.

"Okay, okay, let's go in the afternoon, we're going to eat right away!" Wei Hao nodded, thinking that he should go in the afternoon, but he really doesn't want to move now.

When Wei Furong heard him say that, he stopped talking about him, knowing that he must be tired.

Wei Hao returned to his small courtyard and continued to sleep on the soft bed. It was very comfortable to sleep in the morning, but not in the afternoon because it was too hot.

And in Fang Xuanling and other ministers' residences, someone reported to them about the water dragon.

"There is such a thing, how do you suck water up from the river?" Fang Xuanling looked at the farmer at home in surprise.

"That's right, it's Xia Guogong's land. You'll know when you go and see, the river is full of people now, master, can you also make us some water dragons, we also need water here!" That The farmer said to Fang Xuanling.

"Okay, take me there to see how to suck water up from the river?"

Fang Xuanling was surprised, but he was more interested. Now he is worried about the drought. If it can be solved, it will really solve the urgent need.

Soon, Fang Xuanling followed the farmer out on horseback, and before reaching Wei Hao's farmland, they saw a crowd of people surrounding them.

"The house servant is shooting!" The newly appointed Chang'an magistrate Wei Yu saw Fang Xuanling and his party, and hurried over.

"Wei Yu, magistrate of Chang'an County, has seen Fang Fu shoot!" Wei Yu came over and said to Fang Xuanling.

"What's going on here? Is it really possible to suck water up from it?" Fang Xuanling looked at him and asked, and got off the horse at the same time.

"Yes, it is said that Xia Guogong made it, no, we are also watching here, wondering if we should make some for the common people to use, and the house servant will shoot you here to see!" Wei Yu immediately said Followed Fang Xuanling and said, and then led Fang Xuanling to the river.

"What is this?" Fang Xuanling looked at those water dragons and was shocked. He saw that the water flowed upwards from the water dragons. It was also found that there was a lot of water, and the enthusiasm of the working people below was high.

"Look at the house servant, there is a lot of water here. In one morning, more than 400 mu of land was irrigated. It is estimated that a thousand mu of land will be irrigated a day. Now they mainly want to let the soil get wet. They are afraid that it will be too late. Otherwise, the rice in the distance will wither!" Wei Yu immediately said to Fang Xuanling.

"Such a fast speed? Can it water hundreds of acres in one morning?" Fang Xuanling also asked in shock.

"Yes, they said that they will work all night tonight. Now they are all divided into people. It is estimated that the area will not be less than 2000 mu a day and one night. They are now divided into three groups of people. Zhong, so that everyone can have a good rest, and at the same time, you can go to the ground to see, just to ensure that the water in these water dragons will not be cut off!" Wei Yu stood there and said to Fang Xuanling what he had learned.

"Okay, okay, your county government will also arrange for carpenters to do it. In addition, the official will report to His Majesty. It is estimated that the Ministry of Industry will definitely speed up the production of these water dragons. By the way, the blueprint, the old man is looking for Wei Hao Drawings are the only thing!" Fang Xuanling only thought of this at this moment, so he said to Wei Yu.

"Yes, I also want to go to Xia Guogong to see if I can get the blueprint!" Wei Yu said immediately.

Since I took office as the magistrate of Chang'an, I haven't visited Wei Hao's mansion yet. This is the big man of the family with amazing energy. As long as you hold his thigh tightly, you will have no worries about your future.

Wei Cong, at the beginning, had a lot of conflicts with Wei Hao, but now, Wei Hao helped him regardless of the past, and now he has entered the six departments, and was promoted, and he was transferred back to the capital from other places , I still don’t know the uncle in the legend!

"Yeah!" Fang Xuanling continued to stare at the water dragon as he spoke, and then asked those old men. He learned that Wei Hao came here to see it yesterday, and today he got the water dragon. Wei Hao came here in the morning. Those people kept saying thank you, Young Master.

"Okay, that's great!"

Fang Xuanling was very happy. With this, it is estimated that at least [-]% of the dry land in Chang'an and the surrounding area can be watered. As long as it persists for a month, it can be harvested. This is not a big reduction in production!
Soon, Fang Xuanling rode to the capital and went straight to the palace. Li Shimin still needed to know about this matter, after all, as long as it concerns the common people, it is not a trivial matter.

"What? Wei Hao made a water dragon, which can suck water up from the river, have you seen it with your own eyes?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling in shock when he heard it.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. It was the farmers of the Chen family who came to report it. Otherwise, I didn't know about it. Now there are a lot of people watching by the river, and they all envy the farmers of the Wei Hao family. They must have gone to their employers too, hoping to be a water dragon too.

Your Majesty, I would like to ask the Ministry of Industry to coordinate and do more. In addition, other prefectures and counties are also ordered to do this, so as to greatly reduce the consequences of drought. I have seen the farmland of Wei Hao’s family. Very good, it is estimated that there is still a small harvest! "Fang Xuanling immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Hey, this bastard, I didn't know how to bring this thing to the palace after I made it. Also, I came back yesterday, but I haven't come to the palace today. What does this kid mean?" Li Shimin stared at the room at the moment. Xuan Ling asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about this minister. Maybe he's busy. After all, Wei Furong doesn't know what to do with the drought. He found Wei Hao. Wei Hao definitely needs help. It's settled now. It's probably in the afternoon." Will come!"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he thought that he could not deceive Wei Hao. Yesterday, Fang Yi came back and told himself that Wei Hao is going to be a workshop and needs money, about 600 yuan per family, more refunds and less compensation.

Fang Xuanling was happy when he heard that, now Cheng Yaojin and his family are very rich, and they often show off in front of him that they want to invite him to Juxian Building for dinner.

"Yes, that's right, Wang De!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, it doesn't matter if he didn't come, solving the drought problem is a big deal.

"Send someone to call Wei Hao over, and at the same time inform the harem that Wei Hao is going to eat at the Lizheng Palace!" Li Shimin said to Wang De.

"Okay, let's make arrangements, little one!" Wang De immediately went out with a smile.

"Come on, tell me in detail how the water dragon sucks up the water!" Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling.

The two chatted for a while, and the outsider came in to announce that Li Xiaogong was coming, so Li Shimin naturally announced that he was coming.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yong has made a water dragon that can suck water up from the river, but he has to go to Wei Hao to ask for the blueprint. Many farmlands of our royal family are short of water, and they will die in a few days!" Li Xiaogong When he came in, he said anxiously to Li Shimin.

"You also know?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaogong and said.

"Don't you know? Before, everyone was looking at the water in the Wei River. They had no choice but to watch the water flow away, and our farmland was still dry! Your Majesty, it's only a month's time away. Now But the critical period for rice and wheat is when water is needed!" Li Xiaogong said anxiously.

"Don't be impatient, now I have someone call this kid over, do you think this kid still has a problem with me? He didn't come to the palace when he came back, what do you mean?" Li Shimin said, looking at them two asked.

"Isn't that right? After all, he just went to the farmland in the morning, and the affairs there are still very urgent!" Fang Xuanling said after thinking about it.

"Well, that's right, this kid is very down-to-earth in doing things!" Li Shimin nodded and said after hearing this.

Then, other ministers came over, and they all came to Li Shimin after learning about the water dragon, hoping to get the blueprint.

When Wei Hao was at home, the eunuch came to look for Wei Hao.

"Go to the palace? Now?" Wei Hao stood in the study, looking at the hot sun outside, a little angry, what's going on?Can't we go in the afternoon?

"Your Majesty told you to go now, and you are in a hurry. How about we go now?" the eunuch said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, let's go, hell, what's the matter with the father, it's noon, you want me to go to the palace!" Wei Hao said very unhappy.

He originally wanted to go to the palace for dinner in the afternoon, but Li Shimin couldn't wait and wanted to go by himself at noon. Wei Hao went back to the study to tidy up, and at the same time asked his own soldiers to tidy up the ledger brought from Tiefang. Then ride to the palace.

When we arrived at the Ganlu Hall, there were already many ministers at the Ganlu Hall, but they didn't go in.

"Hey, Duke Xia, can you tell us what to do with that water dragon in your house?" A minister saw Wei Hao approaching, and hurriedly said to Wei Hao.

And Wei Ting is also here at the moment, and also walked in front of Wei Hao.

"Shen Yong, that water dragon?" Wei Ting also looked at Wei Hao anxiously. A lot of farmland in his family is also dry, and even if they don't dry it now, they won't be able to last for a long time.

"Yes, didn't I send it to His Majesty? Don't worry, don't worry!" Wei Hao said to the ministers with a smile.

The ministers heard this and nodded, and then Wei Hao walked towards the gate of Ganlu Hall, where Wang De was already waiting for Wei Hao.

"Duke Xia, hurry up, His Majesty has been waiting for you!" Wang De said to Wei Hao when he saw Wei Hao approaching.

"Well, why are you so anxious?" Wei Hao asked Wang De.

"It's about the water dragon!" Wang De said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Oh, I thought it was such a big deal!" Wei Hao nodded, and finally understood what was going on.

After arriving at Li Shimin's study, Li Chengqian was making tea.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao went over to salute Li Shimin.

"Excuse me, what do you mean, boy, why didn't you come to the palace today when you came back yesterday?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Wait a minute, I haven't saluted His Royal Highness and the ministers yet!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"no!"

"Forget it!".. Those people said quickly, just joking, now they are staring at the water dragon.

"Oh, well, I just came back yesterday, and my father said it was troublesome, and the thousands of acres of land at home were going to dry up, so I went to see, there is a small river on the other side of my land, and there is still water in the small river, so I came back yesterday afternoon So I designed the water dragon. The carpenter at home worked overtime last night. I went to the farmland early in the morning to guide the people to use it. Land, it’s not a big problem! When I got home, I thought it was too hot, and my father must be busy, so I decided to come over in the afternoon!” Standing there, Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Sit down and talk!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, feeling very happy.

"Hey!" Wei Hao nodded.

"Your family's problem is not big, but our problem is big, the blueprint of the water dragon?" Li Xiaogong looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Oh, here, I brought it here. It was originally intended for the father. After I left the city, I saw a lot of farmland dry up, and I was also anxious. I thought that the court must need it, so I brought it here. The Ministry of Industry arranged for people to do it, and even said that each family should do it themselves, after all, the rice and wheat are almost ripe, there is no delay, and now is the time when water is needed!"

As Wei Hao spoke, he took out the blueprint and handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin took it and handed it directly to Duan Lun next to him.

"Immediately ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to copy more immediately, and then let the officials of the Ministry of Industry go down and guide the people to make this water dragon. In addition, notify all prefectures and counties to make them hurry up to do this. As long as there is water in the river, it can be done." use, go.

Also, let the ministers outside go back and tell them that the drawing of the water dragon has come out, let them go back and wait for the news, it will be posted at the gates of each city in the afternoon, and they will take the carpenters in the house to see the drawing! " Li Shimin said to Duan Lun.

"Yes, I will do it right away!" Duan Lun took the blueprint and went out, and then cheers came from outside.

"Good boy, you have helped the father solve the big trouble. As long as the rice and wheat in the farmland can be kept, then the problem will not be big, and the people will not go hungry!" Li Shimin said happily to Wei Hao.

"Hehe, it's okay, Father, this is the seal of Tiefang. In addition, I brought the account book for this period of time. The previous account book has been handed over to the Overwatch Council. Hehe, Father, I have a job, Tiefang It has nothing to do with me!" Wei Hao smiled and handed the seal to Li Shimin.

"You son of a bitch, you!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao angrily at this moment, wishing to slap him, are you in such a hurry?

"No, father, we agreed at the beginning. Now there is a large amount of iron in the iron workshop, 200 million catties, and it will be completed soon. Father, we must keep our word, right?" Wei Hao immediately said He looked at Li Shimin with a depressed face.

"Can't you take care of it for a while longer?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"No, father, I'm busy. Besides, if I continue to manage, those ministers don't know how to impeach me. I find it troublesome!" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said.

"Take it back, let's talk about it for a few more months!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"There is no way, hey, father, I find that you are becoming less and less trustworthy now. It was a good deal at the time, so I don't care about that. I can't make money. Now I am making money. I don't care, father, we have to be trustworthy! Besides, father, you are the emperor, you can't be unreasonable!" Wei Hao was still in a hurry at the moment, and complained to Li Shimin.

When the other ministers heard this, they all shook their heads with wry smiles. They had never seen such a minister, and he didn't even want to give him power.
