Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 488
Waterwheels, reservoirs, and ditches are an integrated project, and they are indispensable.

With cement, the projects made by Ganjingzhuang are very durable.

Li Qinzai's plan in advance was to repair the treadmill by the river and send the water to the high-lying reservoir by human treading. The reservoir usually stores water, and the water is released into the ditches during droughts to ensure that every mu of crops in the farm can be harvested. water.

The idea was correct, even excellent, but Li Qinzai couldn't help staring at the reservoir on the high ground in a daze.

The geographical location of the reservoir is too good. From the top down, if the gate is opened to release the water, how much kinetic energy and potential energy will be generated.

Wouldn't it be a pity if these kinetic energy and potential energy were wasted?
There was an unpredictable light in his eyes. Li Qinzai stood by the reservoir, motionless as if an old monk had fallen into a trance. His whole body fell into an ethereal state, and he completely forgot everything outside him.

Wang Xiancheng stood beside him with a dazed expression on his face. The two of them were having a good chat, but the county magistrate was suddenly frozen, his eyes were fixed and his expression was dull.

Could it be that there is a cemetery nearby, and Li Xianbo suddenly became possessed by evil spirits?

"Uh, Uncle Li, Uncle Li!" Wang Xiancheng raised his voice.

Li Qinzai's whole body trembled, and finally came back to his senses, staring at him dissatisfiedly: "What!"

Wang Xiancheng took a step back in fright, and hurriedly said: "Mo ye, what are you doing?"

"What do you want!"

"Why..."

The provocation was not responded to, and he resolutely confessed, so Li Qinzai had no choice but to let it go.

Pointing to the near-completed reservoir, Li Qinzai said, "Tell the farmers that the reservoir is closed."

Wang Xiancheng was shocked: "Uncle Li, did the officials offend you? Why did you stop work for no reason? Don't dare to stop work. After the construction here is completed, you will have to borrow the villagers from Guizhuang to work in neighboring villages. At that time, as much as you can do..."

Li Qinzai lazily said: "The suspension of the reservoir is because I have other ideas. Stop it first, and I will draw a blueprint later."

Wang Xiancheng looked hesitant, but seeing Li Qinzai's unreasonable and irritable face, Wang Xiancheng decisively ordered to stop work.

Li Qinzai took another deep look at the reservoir, then turned around and went back to the other courtyard.

Liu Asi followed him all the time, and seeing Li Qinzai's thoughtful look along the way, Liu Asi couldn't help but became excited, but his expression became extremely dignified.

He knew that whenever Wu Shaolang had this expression on his face, he must have thought of something new, and he would draw blueprints when he returned home.And Liu Ahsi had already been ordered by the head of the house, that once Wu Shaolang draws a blueprint, he must be strictly protected and the secret recipe is not allowed to be leaked.

After Li Qinzai returned to the other courtyard, he found a random room and rushed in. With a pen and a stack of paper, Li Qinzai began to draw.

From afternoon to evening, Cui Jie came to urge him to eat several times, but he still ignored him.

Cui Jie knew that her husband must have come up with something new, so she didn't dare to disturb him too much. The whole family waited quietly outside the house until the new moon was high in the sky, and Li Qinzai came out with a tired face.

The night wind was bitter, Li Qinzai stepped out of the room and stretched himself, the cold wind made him shiver.

A large cloak was draped over his shoulders, Li Qinzai turned his head and saw Cui Jie looking at him tenderly.

"Your husband works hard for the country, so you should also take care of your body. It's cold in winter, so you should wear more clothes."

"The concubine has warmed up the dishes several times, but she doesn't dare to disturb the husband. The food is heating up on the stove. The concubine will accompany the husband to eat first, and we will talk after the meal is finished."

Li Qinzai nodded, and said again: "Have you had dinner with Qiao'er?"

"Qi'er has eaten. I visited my husband a few times just now, but my concubine prevented him from entering. Now I am about to fall asleep."

Li Qinzai felt guilty for a while, and said softly: "You don't have to starve me with me, I'm dealing with some things, and I can't take care of anything when I'm busy."

Cui Jie said softly: "My husband is knowledgeable, but my concubine can't help much. The only thing I can do is to be with my husband. When my husband is hungry, I am also hungry. It will be delicious to wait for you to eat together."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, and Congshuang and Luye Zanliang brought hot meals into the house.

The two ate and chatted.

Cui Jie finally couldn't help asking: "What blueprint did my husband draw just now? Is it useful?"

Li Qin was full of food, and said vaguely: "It's useless, I drew a piece of trash, and I threw it into the stove to play with when I turned around."

Cui Jie was stunned: "Husband spent most of the day drawing a piece of trash?"

"What you said, if you can ask nonsense, can I not draw nonsense?"

Cui Jie blinked her eyes a few times, and it took a while to hear Li Qinzai mocking her, and was so angry that she swung her chopsticks to hit someone.

"Husband bullied me again, I just don't understand anything, that's why you bullied me like this." Cui Jie said aggrievedly.

"When you hit people, you are so fierce, your ignorant and fearless look is so cute..."

Snapped!
"You hit me on the arm again..."

Li Qinzai sighed, the time between husband and wife should be tender and affectionate, but for some reason, Cui Jie became more and more fond of hands-on after getting married.

On second thought, she was like this before she got married.

This woman, since she got acquainted with him, no longer has any scruples, and the high and arrogant goddess persona has completely collapsed.

"Husband, tell me, what have you done?"

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "Do you know 'hydraulic machine'?"

Seeing Cui Jie looking at him blankly, Li Qinzai said decisively: "Your ignorant eyes tell me that you don't know."

Cui Jie gritted her teeth.

Li Qinzai said again: "The hydraulic machine is that the weight of the water itself and the kinetic energy and potential energy pouring down can be used to do things that human beings cannot do."

"For example, if there is a piece of red-hot iron, I want to make it into a sheet of iron as thin as a cicada's wing. Under normal circumstances, it takes countless hammers from a blacksmith to barely succeed, and it is difficult to make the surface smooth."

"But the hydraulic machine is powerful, it only needs a few strokes, bang bang bang, it's done."

Cui Jie confusedly said: "I still don't understand, is its function to forge iron?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "It represents the improvement of productivity, no, it is not only an improvement, but a direct crossing of an era. It greatly saves manpower, and can make some more practical precision instruments to optimize our production tools in Datang. And ordnance weapons and so on."

"In terms of function, it is bigger and more important than the pulley block I made back then."

Seeing that Cui Jie still didn't understand, Li Qinzai sighed, and said: "Anyway, just remember one thing, your husband, I, is really a unique and unique genius in the world. I don't know if you can marry me. How many high incenses were burned in the previous life, and how many dog ​​heads were smashed..."

Cui Jie's pretty face flushed with anger, and she said: "You are not serious when you are talking, can't your husband speak well?"

Li Qinzai spread his hands together: "I said it carefully, did you understand?"
