Chapter 354 Good warriors, no illustrious achievements

The flowers that bloomed last year will bloom again this spring, and the people I saw last year will see them again this spring.

The originally paved stone path in Jinchangfang has not changed except that it is slippery and slippery by the feet of tourists.

Even the bamboo that was cut down the year before last has sprouted bamboo shoots from the ground this year, with such tenacious vitality that it is tiresome.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda will stand for 1000 years if there is no earthquake to destroy it.

It is good for a long time, but there should be some changes.

Therefore, Yunchu decided to renovate the water features in Jinchangfang this year. Anyway, there should be a fountain, right?

However, after discussing with the craftsmen, Yunchu found that Datang did not have pressurization equipment, and the fountain could be sprayed up to two meters high, which is almost a fountain height that can only appear when the height difference of Jinchangfang is used to the limit.

Yunchu doesn't care, he wants a fountain that can spray a 30-meter-high water column... For those who have seen a [-]-meter-high fountain, this is already his minimum requirement.

The craftsmen unanimously thought that their own county lord was crazy.

However, when they heard that the county magistrate was willing to invest [-] guan to build such a useless thing, for the sake of money, they expressed their willingness to give it a try.

There was a clever man who made a big pump to spray water upwards. Under the operation of four strong men, they sprayed water to a height of more than ten meters, and were severely beaten by the county magistrate.

Being beaten is nothing to the craftsmen, as long as they can get the money, they are willing to be beaten a few more times.

Another clever man took a fancy to the fire bucket truck of Wuhoupu. He creatively added movable baffles and rocker arms to the bucket truck, and used the principle of bellows to apply pressure to the water.

Then, after the six strong men tried their best to press the rocker arm to pressurize the barrel car, they suddenly opened the water valve, and the water column shot out from the barrel car. .

This time, they had used their brains, so Yunchu rewarded them with ten pennies to help them compensate for the barrel carts in Wuhou shop, and they could make a little money.

"Do you really want a jet of water shooting ten feet high? Is it to make up for the regret that you didn't urinate far enough or high enough?"

Ruan couldn't understand Yun Chu's eccentricity at all.

Yun Chu said: "I don't have to have a jet of water that shoots ten feet high, what I want is a method that can shoot the water jet ten feet high."

"With this method, you can pee ten feet high?"

"No, but I can continue to create a method that can throw boulders or projectiles hundreds of feet away."

Gentle shook his head and said: "It's impossible, there are no such wrestlers, and there is no such equipment."

Yun Chu stroked Wen Rou's head pityingly and said, "Do you still remember the big explosion at the waste stone platform?"

Gentlely frowned and said, "We didn't do this."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Of course I know we didn't do this, but when the waste rock platform exploded, stones the size of a human head flew to the Tai Chi Hall, and stones larger than a person flew more than ten feet away. The Taishijian killed several people.

Think about it, how far is the waste stone platform from the Tai Chi Palace? "

Wen Rou thought for a while and said in surprise: "It's more than a hundred feet."

Yun Chu touched Gentle's head again and said: "Just now you said that there is no such strongman in this world, whose equipment can throw a stone the size of a human head hundreds of feet away.

So, how did that stone fly to Tai Chi Hall? "

After Yunchu said this, he left the tenderness in his thoughts and went to his official residence.

Because he didn't want to look the same as ten days in Datang for 100 years, and felt that he had to make everyone move.

In fact, Datang didn't welcome smart people very much, mainly because there were too many smart people in this era, and the emperor was just a little stupid, so he couldn't be an outstanding smart person.

Everyone is pretending to be stupid, so most of the smart people are not doing so well at this time, because those who pretend to be stupid have already seen through everything.

Yun Chu proposed a reward and also raised questions, so someone in this world should come to take away his reward and answer his questions.

With Yunchu's current status, he was able to offer rewards and ask questions. If he wasn't the county magistrate of Wannian County, no one would answer even if he offered a hundred rewards and questions.

Although fountains and flying stones seem irrelevant, if someone understands the concept of pressure, it will be logical to solve the problem of flying stones.

That's right, what Yunchu wanted in the end was artillery!
In order to avoid people playing chess with him, they always ask him if he spelled the word "pao" wrongly. At this time, the interpretation of "pao" next to the word "fire" in the Tang Dynasty is wrong.

The heavy snow that fell a few days ago was the last stubbornness of the cold winter. After the snow melted, everything really entered the season of recovery.

Yunchu looked at the womb cabbage sent by the doctor of agronomy, and was silent for a long time.

Gentle and puzzled: "Is this the cabbage that you spent fifty pennies to cultivate?"

Xu Youdao, Ph.D. in Agronomy: "It has been cultivated for six fields, and it is currently in the best condition. If the county lord still wants a bigger cabbage, it will need an additional [-] Guan funds, which will take two years."

Xu You is a robot who has no emotion for wocai. He doesn't care what wocai will become. He went on to live a relaxed life for two years.

Anyway, the county magistrate is only interested in big things at present. According to his more than one year of planting experience, as long as the top half of the womb cabbage weighing two catties in front of him is cut off, the planting will continue. Go down and wait for the cabbage to bloom, and then choose a big cabbage to hybridize. He thinks that this year, a cabbage weighing more than five catties should be able to grow.

"How many seeds?"

Xu You took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve and put it on Yunchu's table. Yunchu opened it and looked at it, and found that the seeds of wombat were very small, so he took out dozens of seeds and returned the rest to the Xu Youdao: "Take good care of these wombats, the bigger the better. At the same time, I will transfer you from Sinong Temple to Dr. Sinong in Wannian County. I will help you promote from the ninth rank to the eighth rank. If you can Cultivate the cabbage I want, not to mention how much money I will give you, but only you personally, I will reward you with two hundred guan."

When Xu You heard this, his heart jumped wildly. The doctor of Sinong Temple may sound nice, but being poor is really being poor.

To put it bluntly, the corners of his official robes have already fluffed up. Looking at the official robes worn by officials in Wannian County, he knows how rich it is to work here.

If I am promoted to an official, and get two hundred guan, plus my savings, I can buy a two-story house in Guangfufang. Instead of sharing the same bed with my own five kids...

Yun Chu seemed to be able to see through his mind, so he continued: "I will also reward you with a house, Guangfufang or Anyefang, you choose."

Xu You couldn't help but swallowed and said, "So, please give me a quiet and fertile land."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "I will issue a transfer order for you immediately."

The clever Xu You asked again: "I don't know what kind of womb cabbage the county lord hopes for?"

Yunchu immediately spread out a large piece of paper, and drew a picture of "Cabbage" with a brush on the paper. After drying the ink, he said to Xu You, "This is the same size and shape of cabbage."

Xu You has been a doctor of agriculture in Sinong Temple for fifteen years, and he has long since disbelieved that the Shangguan painted big cakes for him. The promotion from the ninth-rank official to the eighth-rank official does not mean much to him. There was no solution to his immediate preoccupation.

At the age of 40, it is impossible for him to be promoted to a seventh-rank official in the remaining years. If he cannot be a seventh-rank official, eighth-rank and ninth-rank are meaningless, because these salaries will not allow the whole family to live a good life .

Therefore, he didn't care about getting promoted, but he insisted that Yunchu write him a document, clearly stating the two hundred guan money reward and a house.

This is an official who has long given up hope of promotion, he only wants tangible benefits.

Yun Chu looked at Xu You and said, "You really only want a two-story small building, and two hundred coins, and don't want rewards from the court, and a promotion?"

Xu You nodded without thinking: "These are enough for the lower officials, and the cultivation of Da Sicai is entirely the county's honor."

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "Just don't regret it in the future."

Xu You immediately said: "I will not regret it!"

Seeing such a fool, Yunchu felt that there was no need to pity him, so he asked a gentle man to write down three documents, signed by the two of them, stamped and stamped, one was entered into the Wannian county file, and the other was held by Yunchu. , and left a copy for Xu You.

Seeing Xu You leave the official residence excitedly, he gently frowned and said, "Is the reward too much?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "If this kind of cabbage is planted after the summer harvest, and it will be harvested in two and a half months, and the yield per mu exceeds [-] jin, do you still think that two hundred guan is a lot of money for a small building?"

He smiled gently: "Although it's impossible, if it's really what you said, with this thing, you won't have a problem getting the title of a county male."

Yun Chu happily patted Gentle on the shoulder and said, "Just wait and call me Yunxian male."

After speaking, he pulled out the plum blossoms in his flower pot, carefully loosened the soil in the flower pot, and finally, carefully cut off the cabbage that Xu You brought, leaving only the old man Roots planted in pots...

After planting the cabbage, Yunchu looked at his face with curiosity and tenderness, and said: "Growing cabbage well is far more important than winning cities on the battlefield, and it will benefit the common people even more.

We don't compete with others for those famous achievements, and we don't compete with others for those good things that gain both fame and fortune.

As long as I plant the cabbage well, I can kill those old thieves who are planning to win thousands of miles away! "

　Come on friend, it's a bit late, I'll continue
