Chapter 021. The Benefits Of The Waterwheel! People Thanks!
At this time, the outside of the moat was already surrounded by people!
Everyone came here to watch the waterwheel!
As a group of imperial guards cleared the way, the people retreated to the sides, knelt down and shouted to Ying Zheng in unison,
"Caomin greets His Majesty!"
Seeing the people bowing down to him in submission, Ying Zheng waved his hand and ordered the people to be flattened immediately!
Then he took Li Si and all the officials and ministers to the river, and looked at the huge waterwheel by the river!
Seeing that the waterwheel is constantly turning with the current, bringing the river water into the ditch dug next to it, and then diverting it into the fields on the bank through the ditch, Yingzheng Longyan Dayue said,
"Good! Good! The waterwheel that the prime minister asked a craftsman to make is exactly the same as what I saw in the fairyland!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's joyful words, all the ministers stared at the running waterwheel in the river with wide eyes, and said in amazement,
"It's amazing! It's amazing! This water wheel is really a miracle! It can continuously scoop out water from the river and irrigate the fields without relying on any human or animal power! How much work will save farmers with this water wheel!"
"That's right! This waterwheel can be regarded as a supreme weapon for rejuvenating the country and benefiting the people! With it, as long as the ditches are reasonably set up between each field, even tens of thousands of hectares of fields can be easily irrigated! Good thing! Good thing! "
"Your Majesty and the others really brought back such a treasure from the fairyland!"
"..."
Hearing the excited sighs of all the officials and ministers, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction!
Just when Ying Zheng was about to say something, there was a commotion among the crowd not far away!
Ying Zheng frowned and looked, and saw a group of imperial guards sternly stopping a few agitated old men, not knowing what happened!
Li Si, who is very good at observing words and expressions, immediately beckoned to the commander of the Imperial Army!
"My humble minister greets His Majesty!"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked,
"What happened over there?"
Commander of the Forbidden Army said,
"Reporting to Your Majesty! A few farmers over there clamored to come to see His Majesty, and said that they would like to thank His Majesty for building this waterwheel! They were stopped by the Imperial Army!"
Ying Zheng frowned and said,
"Absurd! They are all citizens of Great Qin! Why not express your gratitude to the widows in person? Call them over!"
"But... Your Majesty's safety is important! What if they are assassins?"
The commander of the forbidden army hesitated.
Ying Zheng glanced at the two old men who were arguing with the Forbidden Army, then glanced at the commander of the Forbidden Army, and said,
"Would you be the commander of the imperial guards to look at people? Look at the two old men with tanned faces, legs and muddy hands. They are farmers! They are even more than sixty years old! How could they be assassins? I am Daqin Based on agriculture, if it weren’t for these hard-working farmers, what would you eat and drink? Go! Respect the two old people!”
Hearing what Ying Zheng said, the commander of the Imperial Army quickly replied, here!
Li Si, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, sighed,
"Your Majesty loves the people like a son. It is really a blessing for the people of Great Qin to love the people of Great Qin so lavishly!"
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian and other ministers at the side all nodded their heads in praise,
"Yes, yes! As long as His Majesty is around, how can Da Qin not be prosperous?"
Without waiting for the ministers to sigh, the commander of the forbidden army has already invited the two old men over!
The two old men staggered up to Ying Zheng, and immediately knelt down on the ground excitedly and bowed to Ying Zheng, saying,
"Caomin greets His Majesty!"
Seeing the two old peasants who were ten years older than him tremblingly bowing down to him, Ying Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, helped the two old men up kindly, and said,
"You two old people! Please get up quickly! I don't know why the two old people are so excited and want to see the widow?"
The head of the old man's eyes were red with excitement, he held Ying Zheng's hand tremblingly, and said,
"Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the waterwheel! Caomin is a villager in Niujia Village, five miles outside the city! His family has hundreds of acres of Susukida! However, due to the difficulty of irrigation, nearly 30 acres of land have been dried up and abandoned, making them unusable. Yu farming!
But yesterday the government sent people to dig the ditches from the village to the river bank, and set up such a waterwheel on the river bank! The 30 acres of deserted and dry land in Caomin's house have all been irrigated! Can go back to farming again! With 30 mu of land being able to grow, how much more grain can the grassroots family collect this year! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! "
The old man said excitedly, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ying Zheng again!
Ying Zheng quickly helped the old man up, and asked excitedly but in disbelief,
"Have all the 30 acres of fields five miles away been irrigated? Can they all be put back into cultivation?"
The old man nodded again and again, another old man also said excitedly,
"Yes, Your Majesty! Caomin is from the same village as him! Not only his family's 30 acres of land! Almost all the farmer's fields in our village have benefited from the benefits of this water wheel, and all have been irrigated! There are thousands of people in the whole village. The acres of deserted and dry fields will be able to be put into cultivation again from this year onwards!"
Hearing the words of the two old men, all the officials present took a deep breath!
They all sighed in disbelief,
"hiss!"
"Thousand acres of wasteland? A small village has a thousand acres of wasteland that can be cultivated. If this waterwheel is extended to the whole of Daqin, how many acres of wasteland will be reinvested in cultivation? And Daqin will harvest more in a year How many stone grains!"
