Daqin Engineers

Chapter 87

Xu responded to Shen Bing with sincere admiration.

This can be said to be the charm of Xu Ying's personality.

People who are called "great sages" or representatives of various schools are often distinguished by their personalities.

Such as Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mozi...

They seem to be able to transcend themselves, transcend the times to see problems and see life.

Xu Ying has similar qualities.

For example, Shen Bing made a waterwheel to compare the oranges. Ordinary people are more frustrated, angry and angry, and then walk away.

Xu Ying did not.

Not only did this not happen, but because of the waterwheel, he wanted to accept the sinking soldiers.

The reason is that Xu Ying really wants to save the people from suffering.

Because he wanted to save the people from suffering, the waterwheel was of course a good thing, and Shen Bing was of course a talent.

As for personal honor and disgrace... what can that count?

Even Xu Ying didn't feel this "honor or disgrace" from beginning to end.

But Zhang Ge is different.

That night Zhang Ge was lying on the couch tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The eyes of Shen Bing looking at him constantly flashed in his mind, recalling the scene of the waterwheel, and the expressions on the faces of the crowd...

The more I think about it, the more it feels more unpleasant.

You know, the peasant disciples have spent most of their lives farming!

How much bitterness we shed and so many tears.

How many sleepless nights and contemplations.

Coupled with how many attempts and failures, this thing finally tossed out.

But Shen Bing casually made a waterwheel...

The waterwheel does not require human labor, and the speed of water delivery is much faster!

Is this what people do?

Jumo and the waterwheel are a bit of rubbish.

Rubbish in rubbish!

Fortunately, I was still showing off in front of Shen Bing, but I didn't want to be a joke.

Thinking about it, Zhang Ge suddenly flashed:

Since the waterwheel relies on the impulse of the river to rotate, does it mean that it cannot be used in the ditch?

Thinking of this Ge Teng sat up from the bed and said "Wonderful".

If this is the case, Jumi will no longer be nothing.

The waterwheel is responsible for diversion of water in the ditches, and the tall fields above the ditches can only be used with orange.

The two have their own strengths and weaknesses in their respective roles. Can they save a little face for the farmer at the same time?

Right now Zhang Ge rushed to the farmland to observe by the moonlight.

I saw the waterwheel first... I hate that the waterwheel really doesn't need manpower to turn around day and night.

Then go deep along the ditch, and look at the ditch when you find Takata. Although the water volume is sufficient, there is no momentum.

After confirming these, Zhang Ge was relieved.

But after I went back, I still couldn't sleep with excitement.

As soon as the sky dawned, Zhang Ge hurried to Xu Ying's place.

The living habit of the farmers is to go to bed and get up early in strict accordance with the work and rest of the farmers.

Even though Xu Ying is a treatment of millet internal history, he has always maintained this habit, getting up at dawn and preparing to eat.

Qin Shi called breakfast "Suishi" and dinner "Mushi".

If you have the conditions, you can kneel and sit in front of the case to eat. If you don't have the conditions in the wild, you can find a place to sit... Farmers are not so particular about etiquette.

Before Xu Ying had a few mouthfuls of food, Zhang Ge hurried to the front and said:

"Sir, the disciple thought about it all night and found that Shen Bing's waterwheel seemed to have a flaw."

Xu Ying gave an "Oh", raised his head and looked at Zhang Ge with a slight surprise, and asked:

"What are the disadvantages?"

Zhang Ge's quite proud answer:

"The waterwheel uses the impulsive rotation of the river to push the water up to the ditches."

"But where is Takada above the ditch?"

"Isn't it possible to build a waterwheel on the ditch?"

"The water flow in the ditch can't push the waterwheel, how can it lead the water to Takata?"

Xu Ying thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"This statement makes sense."

"However, the flaws are not hidden, the waterwheel is still the best choice for diversion into the canal."

"As for the Takata on the ditch, you can solve it with orange, it's not a big deal."

This is really not a big deal.

Because there is water in the ditches, 80% of the arable land irrigation problem is solved, and the remaining 20% ​​of the high field is not a problem even if it is solved by human resources.

But Zhang Ge didn't think so, he had already regarded it as a battle with Shen Bing.

Even if you can't completely defeat Shen Bing, you have to let others see that Juju is not a waste, and he Zhang Ge is not a waste.

So Zhang Ge asked for instructions:

"Sir, then the disciple... go to Takada to build a joke?"

"Also prevent soldiers from bearing water in clay pots!"

Xu Ying didn't think much, and nodded in agreement:

"Go ahead."

"I will come later as a teacher."

Zhang Ge responded and hurried to the farmland with a few peasant disciples.

When I arrived at Takata, I saw dozens of soldiers using clay pots to transport water to Takata.

Zhang Ge was so proud, he stood with his hands on his hips and shouted to the junior and the soldiers at the same time:

"How? The waterwheel is beyond its reach, right!"

"This class of Takada still has to use Jujube!"

"Who said that Shen Bing is omnipotent?"

"In my opinion, he was just fortunate to learn how to make a waterwheel from where he made a fuss."

...

There are a lot of babblings, and they are instructing the peasant disciples and soldiers to build the shackles.

This shame does work in Takata.

It can easily lift a large bucket of water from the ditch to a high place, and it is still lifted vertically.

If the height of the Takada exceeds the lifting range of the oranges, build a few more oranges, just like a relay, one after another, and finally the height can be lifted.

In particular, there are many tree stumps in this high field. Using the tree stumps directly as the foundation is firm and easy.

Watching the buckets of water smoothly irrigate into Takata, Zhang Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead with a triumphant smile.

At this time, he couldn't wait to see Shen Bing's expression.

He even wanted people to call Shen Bing to come and see...

But no need to call, Zhang Ge was pleasantly surprised to find that Shen Bing and a few people were walking towards this with something.

"Morning!" Shen Bing greeted Zhang Ge.

What Zhang Ge and his party say are to help the peasant disciples in Tuntian, and of course they must be polite.

only……

Zhang Ge was also enthusiastic today, and he burst into laughter when he saw him.

This smile made Shen Bing a little embarrassed.

Shen Bing confessed to Cang and others:

"You wait and go first, I'll come after a hello."

He walked towards Zhang Ge.

Zhang Ge held his head up high and was very energetic, and he handed over to Shen Bing from afar, saying:

"The engineer came too late today."

"I have led the water to Takada!"

Speaking proudly, raised his hand back.

Shen Bing looked at the direction indicated by Zhang Ge, and couldn't help but let out a "Uh".

He hadn't noticed that there had been a row of orange mottles on the Takata, one after the other, buckets of water were hanging up.

At this moment, there was another sound of water on the other side.

Then Fatty shouted excitedly:

"Master, it's done, it's overturned!"

Cang also shouted:

"Brother, you really can do this."

"You said it is indeed true. This rollover can also lead water to high places!"

Shen Bing:...

Zhang Ge:...
