I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 55 Gantry Frame

The two carriages drove slowly on the bumpy and broken dirt road, and a few cavalry were scattered around.

Zhu Guanshi did not sit in the carriage, but sat on the shaft of the car with the handlebars, pointed to the place where the black smoke billowed in front, and said, "Look, my lord, the place where the black smoke is billowing is Yanglin Village."

The curtain on one side of the carriage was lifted, and the King of Chu poked his head to look at it. He couldn't help shaking his head helplessly. He knew without thinking that it was a brick kiln.

A cavalryman walking in front suddenly turned around, came to the front, bowed his hands and saluted: "My lord, there is a convoy ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain behind the carriage was lifted, and Monk Deyuan leaned out, stood on the shaft and looked into the distance: "Well! It's from Lao Yang's family, seven or eight mule carts, what is this for?"

As the two sides drove towards each other and the distance became closer, Monk Deyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Haha! It's that old boy Yang Shisan."

While talking, he casually picked up his thick Zen staff, bent his legs and jumped out of the carriage, walked towards him, and shouted roughly: "Yang Shisan, you old boy, where are you going?"

Yang Licheng on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and quickly jumped out of the mule cart with a smile, cupped his hands and saluted and said, "So it's Master Deyuan, long time no see. I don't know if I'm in good health after so many years?"

"Good! Good! It tastes delicious! What are you going to do, you big car and small car?" Monk Deyuan patted Yang Licheng's shoulder affectionately, and there were loud slaps.

Yang Licheng grimaced and rubbed his shoulders, "We're going to build a water truck by the river."

A waterwheel?
Hearing this, the monk immediately raised his eyebrows with interest, and stretched his neck to look behind him.

I saw a huge waterwheel lying on two side-by-side mule carts.

interesting.

The monk had a thought, and shouted back: "They are going to build a waterwheel by the river, should we go and have a look?"

The king of Chu and the Taoist had already seen it from a distance through the window of the carriage, and they were also very interested in hearing what he said, so they nodded and agreed: "Well, since you have encountered it, let's go and have a look."

He had never seen a waterwheel, but he was quite interested.

Ever since, the team started slowly.The monk simply jumped into the mule cart, sat with Yang Licheng, and asked casually, "What is Guo Erlang doing?"

Yang Licheng smiled wryly, and responded, "I've gone to 'Anshang Village'." After finishing speaking, he narrated what happened yesterday as if he was complaining.

Monk Deyuan's eyes widened immediately, and he asked incredulously, "So, is the rumor true? Guo Erlang really dug three wells in one day?"

"Of course! A mountain spring was hit yesterday! Didn't you see that water gushing out all the time! The [-]-acre high-quality field at the west entrance of the village has no worries about water!"

Yang Licheng praised Guo Yi, but he was full of arrogance, which did not allow others to question him at all.

Not only Monk Deyuan, but even several people in the carriage pricked up their ears to listen.

"Yesterday, the men, women and children in the village almost stepped on the threshold. They all came to him to intercede, and they all wanted to dig wells for their father-in-law's and mother's villages.

No, early in the morning, before dawn, I got into a mule cart with my second brother and rushed to the nearest 'Shanshang Village'.

In the afternoon, we have to go to the opposite 'Anxia Village'.Tomorrow will be 'Tongzi Village' on the North Shore..."

Good guy!
It's like an actor rushing to the stage!
After the East Court finished singing, they rushed to the West Mansion again.

A few people could not laugh or cry when they heard it, and they didn't know how to respond.

Only Guanshi Zhu has a different idea, this kid doesn't want to come out to be an official, perhaps, this is a feasible way.

As long as you still talk about giri, it is your weakness.

However, they came here specifically to find Guo Yi this time, and now it seems that they have to make a trip in vain.

At this time, Yang Licheng thought of it belatedly, slapped his thigh suddenly, and exclaimed: "Ah! Guanshi Zhu, are you here to find Erlang? I'll send someone to find him right now! "

Manager Zhu didn't respond, waiting for his prince's opinion.

But the King of Chu shook his head, and responded: "Don't bother. Finding water and digging wells for others is the business. Besides, I came here specifically to find him to find water and dig wells, and it will be the same in another day."

The words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu were exactly in line with Guanshi Zhu's intentions.That kid is soft-hearted, and he always prefers softness to toughness.

I'm afraid that if you don't leave the mountain, once you come out, you can't help it!

Soon, the team came to the Xilin River.

And at the bend of the river, a water diversion channel has been dug in advance in the straight and curved direction.

When the river turns, it slows down due to the silting of the current.If a diversion channel is dug along the straight line of the river, the speed of the river water flowing into the diversion channel will be faster.

In this way, the accelerated river water will hit the waterwheel more quickly, causing the waterwheel to rotate faster, thereby increasing the speed of drawing water.

As soon as he reached the river, King Chu immediately jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly to the bank to check the water level in the river.

The Xilin River is just a small river 30 meters wide, and it is far away from Jiangling City.Therefore, the embankment department did not set up water rules here.

However, according to the scouring layer on the river bank, it can still be seen that the water level of this small river is already very shallow.

It is foreseeable that if the drought continues, this small river is bound to stop flowing.

And once the flow is cut off, it will be even more difficult for the surrounding fields and the people in the nearby villages to eat horse chews.

Ugh!
The king of Chu couldn't help admiring, this Guo Erlang is really a monster, he has such a foresight that he started to store water early.

At the side, under Yang Licheng's command, everyone began to unload the car.First of all, the gantry frame was erected high, and stones were padded under the four frame feet for stable support.

After erecting the gantry, drive the mule carts loaded with waterwheels under the gantry.

Then, four people went up and tied the rope.

Yang Licheng shouted: "Get out of the gantry." Waiting for the crowd to leave, he shouted again: "Turn the winch!"

With a heavy creaking sound, the seven-meter-high waterwheel was slowly hoisted away from the mule cart below.

"Turn the gears and lock the winch! Get the mule cart out!"

Following his shout, the two of them went up to catch the mule cart and left under the gantry.

"Remove the brake gear and put the winch! Slow down."

Hearing the instruction, his two apprentices started to winch and slowly lowered the waterwheel to the ground.

Then, two more people went up to untie the straw ropes at the bottom of the waterwheel, leaving only the two straw ropes at the top.

Then, the winch was turned again, and the waterwheel was slowly erected and hung in the air.

"Turn the gear and lock the winch!" Yang Licheng yelled, walked over quickly, pushed the waterwheel suspended in the air, and moved to the side of the ditch.

After correcting the position, turn the winch again and put the waterwheel on the boulder base beside the ditch.

At this point, the installation of a waterwheel is completed.

Monk Deyuan and the Taoist watched from the sidelines dumbfounded.

This is like playing, a waterwheel is installed?

Can't help but wonder: "Monk, you have traveled all over the world, have you ever seen this thing?"

　Thanks to Feng Yu for the reward!

　　Boss atmosphere!Eat well and smell good, and your body will be great!

　　Thank you Yuanli for your tireless recommendation tickets every day!
　　forever ha!
