Daqin Engineers

Chapter 268

Fusu did not come to Shouchun first.

He got off the boat in a village when he was about to descend along the Huai River in Shouchun.

This is not Fusu pretending to be mysterious, but he believes that only what he observes when others are not present is the most real.

Otherwise, Chu Min was probably acting willingly under the intimidation of the Qin Army's sword soldiers, or the waterwheel was also arranged in advance.

For this reason, Fusu and his guards also went to this village in civilian clothes pretending to be merchants...If you want to change your identity in this era, I am afraid that only merchants are suitable.

The reason is that "skilled peasants and workers" do not often move around, and the migration cost is quite high. Peasants do not even have the conditions to travel far. Only businessmen will go everywhere and buy cheap and expensive.

However, the facts disappointed Fusu, because he did not discover the so-called "truth".

There are long lines waiting for the pounding of rice at the waterwheel in the village, and there are already a large number of people in the fields outside the village who are busy tunning the fields.

Look at the waterwheel that pounded rice...Fusu has to believe it. Its structure and principle are very simple: the waterwheel drives the waterwheel by hydraulic power. It was a process of pounding rice.

During this period Fusu also asked a few Chu people:

"This is the waterwheel of the Qin people. Why are you so willing to come to the farming farm, have you forgotten the hatred of destroying the country?"

When Chu Min heard Fusu's words, his expression changed greatly, and all of them avoided Fusu and his party like avoiding the plague.

A few of them stepped forward to persuade:

"You better leave soon."

"If these words get to Qin Jun's ears, I must wait and ask you for the crime, then it will also make me wait."

"As for why the pounding rice farm...I wait for ordinary people, not to fill their stomachs?"

"Whether you can pound rice and you can farm it out, isn't it a fool if such good deeds come?"

After hearing this, Fu Su felt very heavy. He returned to the boat without a word and went down the original route again, but this time it was straight to Shouchun.

Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing had been waiting to help Su at the port in Shouchun City.

When Fusu got off the boat, the two hurried forward to salute:

"Welcome the son!"

Shen Bing couldn't help but look at the legendary Fusu, but he was delicate and elegant, but his eyes were full of sadness and sentimentality. If he didn't know in advance, he was Fusu, and he was just a scholar.

Fusu also looked at the sinking soldier and asked:

"This is Vice Admiral Shen Bing?"

Shen Bing quickly answered:

"It's the subordinate."

Shen Bing was not surprised that Fusu could guess himself.

Fu Suding recognized Yang Duanhe, and on the other hand, Shen Bing was wearing a crown of five doctors to show his identity.

Shen Bing originally thought that Fusu would say a few words of appreciation like Xu Ying, but he didn't expect that Fusu would only give a cold "um", and then just stepped into the carriage prepared for him.

Shen Bing secretly glanced at Yang Duanhe, and neither of them knew what this was that made Fusu dissatisfied.

However, they did not dare to hesitate, and they boarded the carriage and followed the convoy.

The convoy is heading to the Shouchun Palace.

Shen Bing and the others did not dare to live in the palace even after they had taken Shouchun... this was a crime of treason, and no one could afford it.

But Fu Sufei is an ordinary person, and living in the palace is no problem.

But the car stopped halfway ahead.

Then an attendant ran down from the front and said:

"The son has an order. The son is appointed to supervise the Liang army, so he should eat and live with the Liang army."

"Diverted to the beam army barracks."

Shen Bing raised his eyebrows.

One advantage of Confucianism is to rule the world with benevolence and justice, so of course you have to eat and live with soldiers instead of living in a palace.

Yang Duanhe did not dare to disobey the order, so he ordered a diversion to the Liangjun barracks.

The Liangjun barracks are located in the south, because the Qin army’s defense direction is the Chu army in the south.

After turning, he rushed to the Liangjun barracks within a stick of incense.

Fusu opened the curtain inside the carriage and looked out, only to see that the soldiers were neatly dressed and brightly armored. The soldiers' faces were full of bravery and self-confidence. People could not believe that Wei Bing was still useless a few months ago.

Soon everyone got out of the carriage and entered Wei Wei's tents... Fusu was temporarily diverted to the Liangjun army and did not prepare to live, so they had to vacate Wei Wei's tent.

Fusu took the upper hand, followed by Yang Duanhe, Xu Ying, Shen Bing, Wei Wei, Wang Ben, etc.

Fusu was also surprised. He did not sit in front of the case like other people, but looked at the waterwheel in the distance through the window with his back facing everyone.

Yang Duanhe cautiously saluted:

"The son, that is the milling waterwheel made by Shen Bing. If the son is interested..."

Fusu interrupted Yang Duanhe's words:

"I have been to see this milling waterwheel."

"The manufacturing method is really subtle, but it is not used in the right place."

Wang Ben was outspoken, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Dare to ask the son, why isn't this milling wheel used for milling rice in the right place?"

Fusu turned around and took a look at Wang Ben, and asked:

"Dare to ask the school lieutenant, why did I wait to make this milling waterwheel?"

At this time, Wang Ben was already a lieutenant of the Shenwu Army... Chen Duanzhan was vacant as a lieutenant. Wang Ben’s performance in Ruyin’s battle was obvious to all, and his title was higher than that of others, so he was a perfect lieutenant.

Wang Ben replied:

"It's for pounding rice."

Fusu asked again:

"Why pound rice?"

Wang Ben arched his hands:

"It's Tuntian."

Fusu pressed for two steps before asking:

"Why Tuntian?"

Wang Ben answered without thinking:

"in order to……"

Speaking of this, Wang Ben understood that the farming was for rations and to start war.

So Fusu thought it was not used in the right place.

Sure enough, when Fu Su saw Wang Ben hesitate, he glanced at Shen Bing and said:

"If the lieutenant made a waterwheel for the benefit of the common people, then Fusu should thank the lieutenant for the people of the world."

"But the lieutenant is only for the resurrection of the army in a few months, and the result is that there are not few people living in the air. How can this be used in the right place?"

Yang Duanhe interrupted and said:

"My son, if the lieutenant does not make a milling wheel, I am afraid that some people will starve to death in a few months."

Fusu replied:

"If I wait for the benevolence to mobilize the people to mobilize the land and then send the surplus grain from the north to the Chu area, the people will not starve to death although they are not enough to wrap their stomachs."

"And with the milling waterwheel, the people who died in the war will starve to death hundreds of times?"

Yang Duanhe said this was speechless.

Because this is about people who died in battle, it is really impossible to estimate and it can be predicted that there will indeed be more people than starving to death.

Wei Wei asked unwillingly:

"Dare to ask the young man, even if our army does not fight, how can Chu army give up?"

"At that time, our army will not only worry about starvation due to insufficient food and grass, but also the great state of the Chu army...How can we avoid casualties at that time?"

Fusu replied:

"It's not advisable to fight this way."

"I am not convinced by the unnamed people when I am a teacher. It is not the way of benevolence and justice."

"If the Quartet comes to return to everyone, why worry about Chu Jun?"
