Mohist Tang

“Then what if some land is far away from the river?” Fang Xuanling, after all, was the prime minister, and asked the key to the question. It is close to the river, and irrigated fields account for up to 10%, while land without water conservancy conditions abound. Those are the top priorities of droughts in history.

In this era of official status, the fields close to rivers and easy to irrigate belong to the first-class fields, and most of these first-class fields are controlled by the Aristocratic Family and landlords. These people have a profound family background and resist nature. Disaster ability is also strong.

And every time the people affected by the disaster are ordinary people. Most of their land is barren middle and lower grade fields, mostly far away from rivers, which is not conducive to irrigation, or the terrain is low-lying, which is not conducive to drainage, droughts and floods. They can cause large-scale production reductions in the fields, and they can only rely on heaven to feed themselves. They are the biggest victims of every natural disaster.

Mo Dun understood Fang Xuanlings concerns, thought about it and organized the language and said: Uncle Fang, do you know that besides rivers, there is another place with a large number of Water is omnipresent and almost inexhaustible.”

“It is omnipresent, but also inexhaustible?”

Is there any? Fang Xuanling feels that his brain is not enough. If there is such a place, why don’t he know why the people don’t use it to water it.

Fang Xuanling looked at Mo Dun suspiciously, but found that Mo Dun’s eyes were staring straight at his feet. Fang Xuanling suddenly realized that he blurted out: “Well water?”

Mo Dun nodded said: “Uncle Fang is wise, what my nephew said is well water, but Mohist Family calls it Groundwater.”

Mo Dun thought of later generations, the various motorized wells hiding the sky and covering the earth, pumping groundwater for irrigation is the mainstream. How many fields can be irrigated with river water alone?

“Groundwater? The water source located below the surface is indeed very vivid!” Fang Xuanling nodded and said, this kind of water source is indeed ubiquitous and almost inexhaustible.

“I know well water, but it is very difficult to drill a well, and it is almost impossible to water the fields with buckets of water alone.” Fang Xuanling hoped for a moment in his eyes. Going dark, although the source of water has been found, this idea is not practical and unrealistic.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, “Uncle Fang should not rush to deny it. The test field in Mohist Village in the south of the city is a dry field. The Mohist Family is conducting an experiment to draw groundwater to see if it will work. Uncle Fang will know when you see it.”

Although the southern city of Mohist Villages 100-acre test field is close to Changan City, its a real inferior field. The yield is low. Stay away from the river and no irrigation, otherwise Mohist Village would be impossible to get it easily.

“Oh!”

Fang Xuanling suddenly light flashed in his eyes. The Mohist Family’s test field is well-known in Chang’an City, especially Mo Dun once promised to reach six per mu. Dan, many people are ready to watch Mohist Family Son’s jokes. It would be fantastic to want to achieve such a high output in a low-lying field.

Fang Xuanling looked at Mo Duns confident face, and the doubts in his heart, little by little, faded. Instead, there were waves of hope. If Mo Dun can really solve the irrigation problem of the inferior fields, then Yielding six dan per mu is not impossible.

If this method can be promoted, it will be a blessing for the people of Guanzhong, and it will be a blessing for the people of Great Tang.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling could no longer sit still, and immediately took Mo Dun and walked out.

“Hey! Why are you so anxious? Jun’er’s friend has just arrived, so why should you stay for a meal!” Fang Xuanling took Mo Dun out of the door and saw a gentle and generous The middle-aged lady is oncoming.

“Hello auntie!” Mo Dun hurriedly saluted.

For the lady in front of me, Mo Dun is known for a long time. For Lady (Clan), who can train the prime minister, how could Mo Dun not prostrate oneself in admiration and be jealous The word originated from this one.

“Madam, let’s not eat the food! We have important things!” Fang Xuanling waved and said, pulling Mo Dun and rushing out of the door

“mother, Mo Dun is leaving, I will also send him off!” Fang Jun didn’t know where he came out, and ran away with Mo Dun.

“This child!” Lu Lady (Clan) looked at Fang Jun who had slipped away like a rabbit and said bitterly. In a blink of an eye, she was the only one to eat in the family.

“What are you doing with you?” Mo Dun said, staring at Fang Jun not angry.

Fangfu is the prime minister’s house of the dynasty. Of course, there are many Carriages, but Fang Jun has to follow Mo Dun and squeeze a Carriage with Mo Dun.

“Nonsense, you think I want to be at home by myself. If I am at home today, my mother will definitely compare me with you for the whole lunch, and can nag me for one day!” Fang Jun thought about his sturdy mother , I couldn’t help shrinking his head, and at the same time hated Mo Dun, a child of other people, gnash the teeth.

“And following you Mo Dun will not be boring, I missed so many wonderful moments of Brother Mo, how can I not miss this time.”

Mo Dun looked surprised After looking at Fang Jun, he didn’t expect this guy’s dog nose to be so sharp.

“What the hell can I tell the little brother first?” Fang Jun said impatiently.

Nobody understands one’s son better than his father. Of course, Fang Jun knows how calm his father is. If he can make his father so impatient, it must be a major event.

“You’ll know wherever you go!” Mo Dun sold Guanzi and made Fang Jun scream.

The urgent Fang Xuanling used the prime minister’s card to clear the way, and he went unimpeded all the way, and it didn’t take long to reach the south city gate. After leaving the south city gate, it was the Mohist Family test field less than two miles away.

The Mohist Family test field is still full of people.

Spring plowing has passed, the sales boom of Bending Plow has passed, but the sales of artificially hatched chickens, ducks and geese are still hot, and the people of Chang’an City who have seen Mohist Periodical advertisements have come to snap up new styles Hydraulic rollover.

As soon as Fang Xuanling visited the Carriage, he saw a row of five huge waterwheels neat and tidy beside the pool outside the Mohist Village test field. This pool was originally a pond for the transfer of live fish in Mohist Village, but now all of them have given way to waterwheels.

“hua hua hua!”

Each waterwheel two robust men are stepping on the pedals of the waterwheel forcefully, every time you use force, there will be a lot of water from the pool Draw out.

The water outlet of the waterwheel was crash-bang dripping continuously, and the rushing water flowed half a circle around the pond, and then flowed into the pool again.

“A lot of water output!” The people of Chang’an City on the side cry out in surprise.

Compared with traditional drum carts, the water output of hydraulic dump trucks is much larger, which also means that the efficiency of irrigation is much higher, and the price is relatively flat. Waterwheel heartbeat.

“This pond is water without a source. If the water is not returned, I am afraid it will be drained in a day.” Mo Dun pointed to the waterwheel and explained to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling looked at the waterwheel in front of him with satisfaction. Mohist Village’s advertisement not at all exaggerated. This waterwheel is indeed as advanced as it advertises, easy to operate, and has a large amount of water.

With this hydraulic rollover jade in front, Fang Xuanling is even more looking forward to what Mo Dun said can draw groundwater.
