Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 256 "Tianche" and "Quyuanli" (4200)

Chenliu County.

The soldiers of the accompanying Tuan army went directly to Yongqiu after their return. The barracks there had been built, and the living conditions were much better than those of the defenders' barracks in Chenliu County.

This is naturally the credit of Wu Liang.

In addition to his own good money, he also fought for benefits for the Huan army in front of Boss Cao last time, so that the food and salary of the soldiers of the Huan army are now higher than that of the most confidant and elite soldiers under Boss Cao's command. You can eat meat and drink wine, which is simply not too comfortable.

of course.

It is also because there are not many people in the army, and there are still only about a hundred people so far. No matter how delicious the food is, it is actually not much for Boss Cao.

However, the relationship between the Huan army and the entire Cao army is the food and wages of the entire Cao army. Boss Cao is a smart man, so he can naturally calculate this small and big account, and he will definitely not pick and search in this regard... What's more, the Huan army has always been hiding in the In the dark, even if they are treated differently, there is no need to worry about causing dissatisfaction with other troops.

As for Wu Liang and the others, they were the first to return to their house in Chenliu County.

Wu Liang hadn't seen his beauties for a long time, and he always wanted to go back to say goodbye first, and take a look at how these growing beauties were developing recently.

Seeing Wu Liang's return, the joy and enthusiasm of the beauties, Chen Jinshui and others needless to say.

But soon, Wu Liang found that one of his beauties seemed to be missing. This beauty was usually very shy. When she saw him, she always kept her head down and blushed and hid far away, and she was always careless. I mistakenly called him "father".

"Where's Xiang'er?"

Wu Liang looked around, no matter how shy this girl was before, she would not simply hide and not come to see him, at most she would hide in a corner and watch him secretly.

"Young Master, Miss Xiang'er is amazing now. She has become the goddess of Yongqiu County, and the reincarnation of Lu Ban recognized by ten miles and eight villages. It won't be early in the morning. Yu, I invite Miss Xianger to guide the construction of the 'Sky Car'."

Chen Jinshui hurriedly approached and said enviously.

"Sky train?"

After hearing this, Wu Liang reacted for a while, and soon guessed roughly what it was.

In the historical documents found in later generations, "Tianche" is also called "bamboo cart" or "tube cart". Oriented to a high place, it saves a lot of manpower and animal power required for irrigation.

But this thing is not something that should appear in this era.

As far as Wu Liang knows, only one kind of irrigation tool called "keel waterwheel" or "rollover" appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

This thing is also a tool to achieve low water and high diversion, but it must be powered by hand, pedal or oxen, and the keel plate is driven by sprocket transmission, so that it can divert water from the river or the pool. The water is brought out for irrigation or drainage, but even so, the efficiency is far better than the most primitive water carrying.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", the "keel waterwheel" was invented by an eunuch named "Bi Lan" in the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and was later perfected by an inventor in Wei and Jin Dynasties named "Ma Jun" in the Three Kingdoms period. Put into use and begin to popularize.

This "Ma Jun" may not be known to many people, but in the eyes of historians, he is one of the most famous mechanical inventors in the history of ancient Chinese science and technology, and he can definitely be compared with Lu Ban and Mozi.

This person not only perfected the "keel water wheel", but also restored the legendary "compass car", improved the extremely heavy "weaving silk machine" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and created a "rotary trebuchet" capable of bursting fire , improved the "Zhuge Liannu" invented by Zhuge Liang...

He even created the "Water Turning Hundred Opera Picture" comparable to the "Wooden Armor Man" in Yanshi.

It is said that this "Water Turning Hundred Opera Picture" only needs to turn on the mechanism.

The musician puppets will play drums and flute immediately, and the singer puppets will dance lightly.

The performances of acrobatic puppets are even more brilliant, some stack arhats, some roll and throw balls, and some make thrilling moves on ropes.

The performance can be described as varied, lifelike, and extremely lively and interesting.

This "Ma Jun" is the inventor of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so he is in the same camp as Wu Liang.

Unfortunately, it was not the same period. Although the exact date of "Ma Jun's birth and death" has not been found in history, his "Shui Zhuan Bai Xi Tu" was dedicated to Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui for his enjoyment.

Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui was Cao Pi's successor, ascended the throne in 226 AD, and died of illness in 239 AD.

But now it is 194 A.D., that is to say, "Ma Jun" created the "Shui Zhuan Bai Xi Tu" at the earliest 32 years ago, and at the latest 45 years ago.

So now, Wu Liang is still not sure whether this "Ma Jun" has been born.

But one thing is for sure, Wu Liang is only in his early twenties now, if the trend of history has not changed, and he is relatively long-lived, he should still have the opportunity to meet "Ma Jun" and see it with his own eyes when he is five or sixty years old. To the "Water Turning Baixi Picture" invented by him.

But now is not the time to think about this, Wu Liang is more concerned about the "sky cart" that Thyme suddenly made during his absence.

If it is really the "bowl car" known to later generations, it will be too powerful.

Because this thing has far surpassed this era, according to historical records, the invention of the "barrel cart" was in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty was established in 581 AD and died in 618 AD, which is about 400 years ago. The things after [-] years appeared in advance, and directly skipped the process of "Ma Jun" improving the "keel waterwheel" , Do you think it's great or not?

If this is the case, there may be another person who is underappreciated in history...

Because of his intrusion.

Li Bai no longer has "Will Enter the Wine" to write.

Zaozhi and Han Hao no longer have the farming system to mention.

"Ma Jun" also has no need to improve the "keel waterwheel".

There are also Newton, Archimedes, Hooke... and a series of masters who promoted the development of human science and technology in later generations.

Wu Liang couldn't help but feel a little guilty. A plagiarist like him who wore the original author's shoes hundreds of years in advance and left the original author with nowhere to go is really too unscrupulous and talented.

Think so.

"Chen Jinshui, do you know where Xiang'er is now, I want to see what this 'sky train' is."

Wu Liang straightened his body and asked subconsciously.

"It's easy to say, I'll go to the Yongqiu county government office to inquire about it."

Chen Jinshui immediately turned around and walked out.

"Wait, let me go with you."

Wu Liang also stood up and quickly followed.

Thyme has some foundations of ancient craftsmen. He has reason to believe that after comprehending many physical theories that seem to be relatively basic to later generations taught by him, Thyme was finally greatly inspired, thus opening the door to a new world, so... ..."Goddess" and "Luban Reincarnation" came into being.

Because of this, Wu Liang couldn't wait to witness his "achievement" with his own eyes.

In addition, when he came back this time, he actually planned to hand over the "Wooden Armor Man" stolen from Qi'ai Cemetery to Thyme for research. Although he did not dare to expect Thyme to restore it, many of the details and craftsmanship may also be able to give Thyme brings a degree of inspiration with itself, producing unpredictable chemistry.

expect……

……

More than an hour later.

In the Zhu family's property located in Yongqiu County, Wu Liang finally saw Thyme...and Zhu Lu, the third son of the Zhu family who was squatting aside and looking at Thyme with a face like a little fanboy.

This picture is quite confusing.

Zhu Lu was also a dandy before, but he still has such a cute and honest side, let alone a little girl who is not yet ready, and I don't know what the villagers who are used to him domineering will think.

At this time, a waterwheel more than one foot high by the river has been assembled, and more than [-] carpenters and farmers are installing it according to Thyme's drawings, and come to Thyme for advice from time to time.

Thyme now still has a slightly immature pretty face, but she has lost a lot of timidity, and her gestures reveal a confidence that was rarely seen before.

"Brother talented, when did you come back?"

Zhu Lu was the first to see Wu Liang who was coming on horseback, so he quickly put away his previous attitude of a little fan, and got up to greet him with a look of surprise.

"Just today, brother Yongkang, you look good recently."

Wu Liang jumped off his horse and greeted him with a smile.

"Homeowner?"

Thyme turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw that Wu Liang first rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then left the drawing and ran towards Wu Liang with small steps, but she still didn't dare to jump into Wu Liang's arms, and But when he came to the front, he slammed on the brakes, and with a red face, he saluted sincerely and fearfully, "Patriarch, you are back... I don't know that the Patriarch is coming back today, and I didn't stay at home to welcome the Patriarch. I know I was wrong." , please punish the master."

"This……"

Seeing this situation, Zhu Lu thought that Wu Liang's family was taught very strictly, but he felt a little bit sorry, and quickly explained to Bai Lixiang with a smile, "Brother you are talented, you can't blame Mr. Baili for this matter, I am begging for nothing." Lai's doorman invited Mr. Baili to help, if there is a talented brother who wants to blame me, I am willing to prepare good wine and food for the talented brother to hold a banquet to make amends."

In this era, the word "Mr." has the meaning of "the master is the first, the meaning of the teacher", so it is not wrong for Zhu Lu to call Thyme Mister.

"..."

But those carpenters and farmers were a little puzzled when they saw this scene.

Thyme is now a well-known goddess in Yongqiu County. It coincides with the beginning of spring for farming. Her invention has solved a lot of agricultural troubles for nearby farmers and villagers. Not only the nearby people regard her as a goddess, but also the third son of the Zhu family. Zhu Lu has a lot of respect for her, and he often does things like serving tea and pouring water himself.

Now there is a stranger who has never seen him before, why does their goddess call herself a servant girl so respectfully that even the third son of the Zhu family dare not speak loudly?
Fortunately, these carpenters and farmers are not of high status and dare not cause trouble easily.

Therefore, these words were passed in their hearts, and no one dared to come forward to make them feel uncomfortable. After all, they also saw Zhu Lu's performance. The second ancestors were so humble in front of Wu Liang, so where was it? to talk to them?
"..."

Wu Liang was also a little disappointed.

Just imagine watching Xiang'er, who looks like a porcelain doll, galloping towards her. He was already ready to hold her in his arms to verify her recent development, but Thyme came to an emergency stop. Who would feel depressed.

then.

"Xiang'er, what are you talking about, I am such a harsh person in your eyes?"

Wu Liang put on a serious look on purpose, and scratched Thyme's qiong nose as punishment.

"My maid doesn't dare, the Patriarch is the best Patriarch in the world, I know I'm wrong!"

Thyme, however, was so frightened that her eyes turned red instantly, her little head shook like a rattle and she repeatedly admitted her mistakes, she was about to cry.

"Okay, okay, I'm joking with you, and I don't blame you."

Wu Liang also knew that this little girl couldn't be funny, so he hurriedly held her little hand to comfort her when mist appeared in her eyes, and then looked at Zhu Lu to change the subject and said, "Brother Yongkang, since you are begging for nothing... Lai invited my little Xiang'er here to help, shouldn't I show something? Just do as you say, you will be the host tonight, and Xiao Xiang'er and I will go to your house to have dinner."

"Cooking food?"

Zhu Lu reacted for a while before trying to understand the meaning of "cengfan", and then he burst out laughing, and said again and again, "Brother talented, you will be offended if you say this, I will order people to go back and make preparations, you and my brother If you don’t get drunk tonight, you won’t go home, so does Mr. Baili. I have asked Mr. Baili for help a lot recently, and I should have expressed it long ago.”

"Do not……"

On the contrary, Thyme was made even more frightened, how could she be compared with the Patriarch.

Recently, the villagers call her a goddess, and Zhu Lu always calls her "Mr." It's okay if she can't stop her at ordinary times, but now she still calls her like this in front of the head of the family, how can she deal with herself.

"Ok, deal."

Wu Liang squeezed her little hand, and agreed very readily, and then finally had the opportunity to carefully observe the "cradle car" that had been formed and could be launched into the water after some installation work.

This thing is exactly what he had thought of as the "barrel cart".

Although some details are slightly different from the "coil car" he is familiar with, the working principle is the same. It makes full use of the water power that is not used for nothing, thus abandoning the current mainstream "coil car" that needs to be driven by manpower and animal power. Keel waterwheel", this progress is naturally not at 01:30.

While Wu Liang was observing carefully, Zhu Lu added enviously from the sidelines: "Brother talented, your house is really crouching tiger, hidden dragon, not only is there an old fairy who can figure out the secrets, Now that there is such an ingenious goddess, whoever wants to say that a talented brother is not a noble person favored by God, I will be the first to say no!"

"Brother Yongkang is full of praise."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Where is the absurd praise, it is clearly telling the truth!"

Zhu Lu immediately said in an exaggerated tone, "Since I met Brother Youcai, I really know what is called a person of heaven's favor. Brother Youcai is going to farm in Yongqiu County to open up wasteland, and there is such a goddess in the family immediately. Not only did the ingenious 'Sky Car', but also the lightweight and labor-saving 'Curved Plow', this thing is so useful, it is simply a sharp tool for spring plowing... Sometimes I even think, is it possible that a talented brother is some kind of god In reincarnation, it is the talented brother who said before reincarnation that there must be light, so there is a sun, and the talented brother said that there must be water, so there is a sea."

It's over!
How can this kid talk nonsense so much, he's almost on par with Yu Ji!

But this "Quyuanli" seems to be a farm tool that was only improved in the Tang Dynasty. Thyme was also produced in advance? !

　Thanks to [Da Zhu Smiling Here] boss for his support.
