Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 46 It Really Can Make Water Come Naturally! ?

"You can say this to elder brother Bowen by yourself." Cao Ang cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Xi Zhicai was at a loss for words.

Bowen was so sincere that I couldn't understand his heart.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful...the mountains and rivers in the prosperous Han Dynasty are beautiful, and you should see them with your own eyes.

Xi Zhicai's heart suddenly became clear. In the past, indulgence was useless, and his talent was not revealed, so he could only focus on poetry and sex.

It’s different now, we have our own ambitions and strive for the long run.

As an official, you should learn from Bowen, be self-disciplined and not indulge in the public.

"My counselor, that's exactly what it should be."

Xi Zhicai's complexion gradually cheered up, the ambition in his heart continued to surge, and his eyes became more determined.

"Go back and catch up on sleep, get drunk for the last time today, and start drinking tomorrow!"

……

Juancheng Diannong Institute.

As soon as Xu Zhen arrived, he saw the commander-in-chief of Cao Cao's government office, and immediately clasped his fists when he saw Xu Zhen, "Lieutenant, my lord ordered me to invite you to a banquet at the government office tonight."

"Specially designed for the captain."

"My lord also asked the general to tell me that there is an old man's daughter in Yanzhou, and now that I am inviting you, it is considered a feast with the school lieutenant."

The daughter of an old friend?

Yo? !Could it be a blind date?
For some reason, Xu Zhen suddenly had this idea.

My heart skipped a beat, whether I should say it or not, I was still a little nervous.

"Row."

Xu Zhen readily agreed.

The commander-in-chief of the guard was also stunned.

There was no answer for a while.

After a while, there was a smile on his face, and he quickly clasped his fists: "Okay, okay, then go back and report to me."

After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Captain, are you really going?"

Xu Zhen nodded: "Really."

"Hey, okay, okay..."

He turned around and walked for a long way, then looked back at Xu Zhen, but he was already far away, otherwise he would have to ask one more question, did he really go?
It's not like saying that on purpose, and then dove again.

At that time, it will be me who will be scolded, and the lord will not bear to scold him.

Lieutenant Bowen's current official position in Juancheng is not high, but his status is frighteningly high. Many counselors will not easily offend him, including clan generals.

Now there is still the eldest son by his side to protect him.

Who would scold him if he ate too much?
The commander scratched his head, feeling a little moved in his heart.

Finally here.

Entered the government office.

Xu Zhen took Cao Ang to finish his official duties, and then ordered Dian Wei to summon the craftsmen.

Let all the recruited craftsmen gather in the open space outside the main hall.

The leading craftsman's surname is Pu and his first name is Pufeng.

That is the person Xu Zhen found among the fleeing refugees, and he specially invited him under the rule of Diannong, which is equivalent to accepting him as a guest.

Pu Feng brought a child named Pu Yuan. Although he is not very old now, he has already learned about craftsmen with his family.

They were the ones who built the stirrups in Xu Zhen's Suwei camp before, and they have a thorough understanding of the design drawings, and they can almost understand the theory just once.

"Captain."

Pu Feng was still wearing a linen vest, and he wore a thick gray overcoat, but he didn't tremble. The craftsmen had been forging iron, and the temperature beside the stove was very high, so they didn't feel cold.

Although they didn't know what Xu Zhen asked them to do at this time, they knew that there must be something important.

Otherwise, it is generally not possible to call so many people.

Xu Zhen bowed his hands to these craftsmen and said: "Everyone, after thinking hard, I finally thought of something that can reduce the efficiency of the common people more if it is built."

"Next year's irrigation can reduce the general manpower, and the redundant people can organize to go to the mountains to collect materials, so that more houses can be built near Juancheng."

"In this way, the housing arrangements for the families of those who died last year can be enriched again."

"But the design requires everyone to study together, and I'm just imagining it."

After Xu Zhen finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The leading craftsmen felt a little sore nose.

It's winter, are you still thinking hard about improving the resettlement for us... If it is true, it can double the efficiency of irrigation.

Next year will naturally save a lot of time.

If tens of thousands of people are free, it will be easier to cut wood and obtain materials, and it will be easy to build houses.

This official is really dedicated to serving the people.

I feel ecstatic because I thought of an improved design of a certain tool, and my sincere heart is admirable.

You must know that his merits are already sufficient now, ordinary officials only need to wait to enjoy the support of the people, and then be promoted to other places after the beginning of spring.

Based on Bowen's achievements, these craftsmen probably knew that many Confucian scholars in the village of the older generation had said that they would definitely be able to get the position of two thousand stones.

Why should it be so.

What else can he get for the common people like this, there is no more.

It's nothing more than unwillingness to be ashamed of its ability.

Good guy, really nice guy.

"Lieutenant, please tell us, we must do our best." Pu Feng looked serious, fisted with both hands, and his eyes were full of energy.

"well!!"

Xu Zhen was ecstatic at this moment, and stretched out her hand to pat Pu Feng's shoulders.

I feel at ease with you here.

I'm really lucky, and now I can get a lot of self-discipline points, and I can even get extra rewards!

These people under his hands are full of enthusiasm every time.

Whether it's a craftsman or a sergeant, everyone speaks nicely and has strong abilities. The key is to be obedient and willing to work hard. Don't be too comfortable.

Xu Zhen sometimes suspects that her own charm has gradually improved invisibly, which is why they are so attached.

But what he didn't know was how much influence his actions had on those around him.

Before he came to Juancheng, these people had never encountered such officials. The only one who heard that he could take the lead and do everything himself was Dongjun Taishou Xiahoudun.

But I just heard that when I really have such an official, I feel so lucky. Under such circumstances, how can they be willing to be lazy, of course, they follow with enthusiasm while the captain is still in office.

"Then please!"

Xu Zhen immediately expressed his thoughts.

All morning, I was explaining to Pufeng and other craftsmen.

Its principle is not too difficult.

The purpose is to use a huge columnar structure, inserted into the water, to pump the water in the ditch to a high place for storage, and then use pipes to flow the water to other places.

Then build valves at key nodes. When the valve is opened, water can flow in, and when the valve is closed, water will be shut off.

In this way, it is only necessary to manually pump water into the high reservoir every day, and the water can flow everywhere, and the ditches built before can also be enlarged a little to allow the river water in the tributaries of the Yellow River to come in again.

"To commemorate Brother Zhicai's reminder, how about calling this device tap water?!" Xu Zhen looked to the left and right.

Cao Ang: "..."

Pu Feng: "..."

Dian Wei: "Heaven, can you really let the water flow freely?!"

At first when they heard it, people were stupefied.

How does water flow to high places?
After Xu Zhen repeated it several times, he gradually understood.

"Wonderful, it's like flipping a bamboo water cart, but the water flip can only be done by the turbulent water, and manpower can't do it, but these wooden tubes can take water to a high place with a spiral, and then make a valve bayonet to make the water flow with bamboo. The pipes go everywhere."

"The little one probably already understands," Pu Feng laughed immediately, "Thank you Captain, the little one will go to develop it right away, but most of us are blacksmiths, and we need to recruit some people who are good at carpentry and exquisite craftsmanship."

"In this way, there will be results within three days."

"It's just the hand that diverted the low water..."

Dian Wei immediately patted his chest, "I can try."

At the same time, Xu Zhen also said: "You can use a donkey or a horse."

The two finished speaking almost at the same time, and then looked at each other awkwardly.

Xu Zhen immediately retreated tactically, you can answer this...

It made Dian Wei's eyes full of resentment.

"Tsk."

Annoyed.

　Baidu found that... At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling ordered Bi Lan to build a "rollover car", which already had basic devices such as wheel axle groove plates.

　　In other words, it should be when the prototype research began.
