Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 175 [Jia Xu's lament: the use of water milling carts and wind valley carts]

"There are quite a few of these notices, and they all basically look the same. They are distributed to every county, town, and kiosk. It shouldn't be difficult to make them if they can be used in this way."

Ding Hong said, he was not stingy, "I got [-] tickets from Mr. Jia Xu, half of which will be given to you when you go back, and let you explore it carefully."

"Thank you, but I will not be disrespectful. In the future, I will definitely treat you to a few more drinks." Qin Feng thanked him, he did not expect that Ding Hong would share half of such a valuable thing, and he was moved.

"Haha. I remember."

On the way back to the county government office, the two chatted and laughed happily all the way, and they looked like a pair of good brothers.

In Guangxin City in Cangwu County, three new notices were posted today.

Inside the prefect's mansion, Jia Xu was writing comfortably on new paper, waving a pen.

The desk in front of him was full of papers, each with words written on it: "Luoyang, Jiaozhou, Sweet Potato, Quyuanli, Xinxian, Paper, Printing, Drunken Immortal, Steamed Bun, Steamed Bun, Kimchi , God’s Barracks, God’s Crossbow, Doctor’s Association, etc.”

These were all led by Lu Bu. Jia Xu thought about these things in his free time, but he couldn't figure out that this was something that one person could think of or do.

Jia Xu was both curious and afraid of Lu Bu in his heart, wondering what novel things he would come up with in the future, but the fear was that he couldn't see through Lu Bu, which made him feel uneasy.

"Sometimes it's like dreaming, but you can't wake up. Maybe this is reality, and you need to try to accept it."

Jia Xu talked to himself, and then wrote two words on a piece of white paper: Zhongyong.

Then he picked up a piece of paper, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said to himself: "A new era?"

At this time, a guard rushed over, "Report to Mr. Jia, there is an urgent report."

As he said that, the guard handed the bamboo tube containing the letter to Jia Xu.

Zhang Liao and Jia Xu are temporarily in charge of the military and political affairs of Cangwu County. Jia Xu has no clear official title, so everyone calls him "Mr."

"It's hard work, let's go down."

He opened the bamboo tube, took out the letter, and saw that it was a military newspaper.According to Lu Bu's order, all military newspapers should be sent to the General's Mansion as soon as possible, and copied to Cangwu County for Jia Xu and Zhang Liao.

"Jiaozhou is settled."

The letter contained good news and mainly said two things.In the first case, Xu Rong and Zhang Yang successfully occupied Yulin County; in the second case, Zhao Kun, the prefect of Jiuzhen County, surrendered.

Except for Rinan County, all counties in Jiaozhou have now been occupied by Lu Bu.Wang Ning, the prefect of Yulin County, died in Jiaozhi County. Without a leader, Xu Rong and Zhang Yang led the army away, and all counties surrendered.

The surrender of Jiuzhen County was also thanks to Shi Xie and Shi Huang, who took the initiative to persuade Zhao Kun, the prefect of Jiuzhen County.

As for Rinan County, most of the land has already been occupied by the Yi people. In addition to the long distance and complicated terrain, it will be very troublesome to conquer it, so it has to be put on hold for the time being.

At this moment, Jia Xu was in a good mood, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Take a rest and take a rest, and draw it slowly".

After finishing writing, he picked up and blew the ink, then rolled it up and put it in the drawer of the desk.

Then he walked out of the room, met the steward in the mansion, and asked, "Did anything strange happen in the city today?"

This 40-year-old steward is equivalent to Jia Xu's housekeeper in the prefect's mansion. Jia Xu told him to pay more attention to the affairs of Guangxin City in private.

After all, he knows the big things, but he may not know the small things, funny things, strange things, or without these servants.

Guan saluted in advance, and then said: "Mr. Hui, today the city is full of discussions about the three edicts, nothing special."

"Okay, got it. You go to work."

Jia Xu was going to go around the city, but before leaving the mansion, a person from the [Department of Agriculture] came to report:
"Sir, Xiao Si Nong asked his subordinates to come down and report to you that the previous water mill and wind valley cart are ready, please go and check."

Jia Xu is also the Nong Zuocheng of the [Agricultural Department], in charge of supervision.Whenever major events happen in the [Agriculture Department], they will be reported to him.

He knew that the [Department of Agriculture] was building several new farm tools recently, among which were water mills and windmills.

"Go back and call Xiao Si Nong first, and I'll be there right away," Jia Xu said.

After the water mill was made, it was placed on the Lishui River in the northwest direction outside Guangxin City. Jia Xu had been there when the site was selected before and knew the place.

Guarded by ten soldiers from the Divine Army Battalion, Jia Xu left the west gate in a carriage without bringing other officers and soldiers.

When he arrived at the destination, there were already hundreds of people here, some of them were grain merchants and people from rich families, and others came to watch the excitement after hearing the propaganda from the Department of Agriculture in the city.

There used to be several water mills and water mills by the Lishui River, but now there are three water mill houses, that is, three water mill cars.

Stone mills and water mills are tools used to grind rice, corn, wheat, peanuts and other grains into powder. One is driven by manpower or livestock, and the other is driven by water power. Naturally, water mills are the best in efficiency.

It's just like a stone mill, but water mills are more troublesome to build and install, and it's impossible for ordinary people to use them.

Stone pestles, water pestles and water mills are mainly used to pound rice. Stone pestles rely on manpower, while water pestles and water mills rely on hydraulic power. The efficiency is higher and the production and installation conditions are also more difficult than the other.

In addition to water mills, water reels, and water mills, there are also three brand new wind valley cars.

The windmill, or [windmill], is a wooden farm tool used to remove impurities, shriveled grains, straw chips, etc. from the seeds of rice and other crops.

Its basic structure is: there is a trapezoidal feeding bin on the top, a funnel below for rice output, a small funnel on the side for output of fine rice and flat grains, and a tail for output of chaff; the wooden garden-shaped "big belly" "There is a hidden impeller with an iron handle, and the wind blades are turned by hand to lift the grains. The wind generated by the fast rotation speed is also strong, and vice versa.

Everyone looked curiously at the brand-new and strangely shaped wind valley cart, as well as the water mill cart driven by running water in the water mill room.

"Mr. Jia, this way please."

Qin Yun, a small farmer from the Department of Agriculture, came forward to greet Jia Xu. After getting along with him during this time, he felt that Jia Xu was not bad.

In addition to the little Sinonong Qin Yun, the head of the Agriculture Department Lin Sheng, the Nong Zao Ling Gong Shu Ming, the Nong Xuan Ling Bai Ji and other big figures have come.

"You've worked hard, are you ready?" Jia Xu asked, impatiently looking at the performance of the water mill and wind valley cart.

"It's all ready, and we can start when Mr. Jia arrives." Qin Yun replied, without the presence of Jia Xu, Nong Zuocheng, such a big matter is really difficult to handle.

"Then let's get started, and let me open my eyes." Jia Xu was expressionless, as usual, calm and calm.
