    Chapter 801: [Waterwheel]

    ¡­¡­

    What does this mean?

    The fields are soaked in water, and the thick black clouds in the sky make it look like the rain will not stop in the past few days. The rain continues to fall. How can the fields be saved?

    "Compared to the disbelief of others, Gui E somewhat blindly believed in Li Chengqian.

    Fatty Zhu believed in Li Chengqian because he was powerful.

    So on the court, these two were the only ones who believed in him.

    "Is there anything you can do?" Gui E asked in a low voice.

    Li Chengqian nodded, and then said to the tenants: "Yes, I have a way. I will find a way now. What everyone has to do now is to wait here quietly, take good care of the elderly and children, and wait for me to make the things.  , then it will be up to you to save the crops in the fields!"

    After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian walked outside.

    Fatty Zhu quickly followed out.

    Gui'e calmed a group of surprised tenants, comforted them for a few words, and followed them out.

    At this time, Li Chengqian was already giving orders to Fatty Zhu to find the carpenter in Zhuangzi, and also asked someone to go into the palace to fetch Carpenter Lu. He was now going to make a water tanker to bring out the water in the fields.  The water is pumped out.

    Waterwheel?

    What is it?

    Fatty Zhu didn't understand, but he didn't ask. He immediately went to help Li Chengqian settle the matter. He ran out and the first person he met was his senior brother. He immediately took his young man and asked him to find a carpenter.  .

    And he himself entered the palace in person and asked Carpenter Lu to come out of the palace.

    Half an hour later, Carpenter Lu arrived.

    He had already listened to Fatty Zhu¡¯s instructions on the road, and he could only call Li Chengqian the master master outside.  His identity as the prince cannot be revealed.

    Although he was confused, he still did it.

    Arrive at Huangzhuang.  Li Chengqian is already drawing drawings.

    The water wheel, also known as the Kongming wheel, is the oldest agricultural irrigation tool in my country.  It is a superb labor skill created by our ancestors in the process of conquering the world, and it is a precious historical and cultural heritage.  According to legend, the prototype was created by Hua Lan during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. It was transformed and perfected by Kongming during the Three Kingdoms period and then popularized and used in the Shu Kingdom. It was widely used for agricultural irrigation during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

    And when Li Chengqian came to the Tang Dynasty, the waterwheel he saw was actually like the waterwindmill Li Chengqian made last time, which relied on the flow of water to introduce water into the fields.

    This is used for irrigation.

    But it¡¯s still too simple. Li Chengqian simplified part of it last time.

    But this kind of water windmill can only introduce water by water flow.  There is no way to pump the water out of the fields.

    What Li Chengqian has to do now is to pump out the water from the fields.

    There was a kind of waterwheel in later generations, which was a simplified form, three or four meters long, with a tongguo wooden chain to pump water up.  One end of the waterwheel is placed in the water and the other end is placed on the shore. One person shakes the wheel of the waterwheel and drives the wooden chain.  This principle is somewhat similar to bicycle wheels.

    According to the principles on the drawing, I told Master Lu.  It is relatively easy to understand.

    After Master Lu understood the core principles, the technical difficulties of the wooden chain in terms of shape were left to Master Lu himself to handle.

    Fortunately, Master Lu has rich talents.  Moreover, I have been with Li Chengqian for almost a year, and it is not good to make Li Chengqian's things, so I want to make things for Li Chengqian.  All have jingy¨¤n.

    After Master Lu studied the drawings for a while, he ordered people to go into the palace to find Zhang Blacksmith.  Ask Blacksmith Zhang to get some iron chopsticks and some iron nails.  And he brought Master Lu¡¯s disciples over.

    Struggling for an afternoon.  Master Lu explained how to assemble the waterwheel out of wood according to the principles mentioned by Li Chengqian.

    This assembly work is a delicate one, and I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be completed today.

    It was raining heavily outside again.

    While Li Chengqian was sitting next to him, discussing the waterwheel with Master Lu, a man wearing a raincoat ran in from outside Zhuangzi.

    Fatty Zhu received him. After a while, Fatty Zhu walked over quietly and whispered to Li Chengqian: "The Queen is looking for you."

    Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment after hearing this. These words were very simple. Li Chengqian also heard the richer content of these simple words.  On this rainy day, Li Chengqian ran out. The queen must have been anxious and sent someone to find him.

    Thinking of the queen's furious look, Li Chengqian's face turned pale and bad.

    It seemed like he had to go back. Li Chengqian looked outside and saw that it was still raining.

    He said: "I know, I'll go back after the rain stops."

    Fatty ZhuI know that if Li Chengqian is asked to go back in this weather, the queen will be even more angry.

    He nodded, stepped back, and talked to the eunuch.

    Gui'e also noticed the situation on Li Chengqian's side, but she couldn't hear what was said. After Fatty Zhu left, she walked over and asked Li Chengqian what was going on with concern.

    Of course Li Chengqian cannot say that the queen is looking for her son to go back and educate him.

    It can only be said that someone in the palace is looking for him.

    Gui'e couldn't help but be moved again when she thought that Li Chengqian ran out of the palace to see her on a heavy rainy day, and even gave up work to see her.

    ????????????????????????????????????????]?????????????????????????] But he didn't expect that it stopped raining for only half an hour. Li Chengqian seized the time, waved to Gui E, and returned to the palace.

    Master Lu and others did not go back. They had to stay in the palace to build the waterwheel overnight.

    Back to the East Palace, it started to rain again.

    Li Chengqian was thinking, it¡¯s raining now, right? Then there¡¯s no need to go to the Li Zheng Hall in the rain, right?

    Of course, Li Chengqian would not admit that he was not suffering because he was afraid that he would bear the queen's anger if he went now. He wanted to wait until tomorrow, and the queen's anger would be gone, and nothing would happen tomorrow.

    But he still knew in his heart that he would ask the eunuch to tell the queen that he was back.

    "Come here, go and report to the Queen, later" Li Chengqian entered the Li Zheng Hall, and just in the middle of speaking, his voice got stuck.

    He was stunned when he looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him. Next to her were Su Mi, who was wearing thick clothes to prevent moisture, and the petite Xiao Chen. On the table on the other side was the hippopotamus sister who was playing with pebbles with big and small cat eyes.  .

    "Uh, ummother, you are here!" Li Chengqian smiled sarcastically, waved his hand and said hello.

    "Humph, you still know that I am your mother, why don't you take my words to heart and come here quickly" the queen snorted angrily.

    Li Chengqian scratched the back of his head and walked slowly over. As soon as he reached the front of the queen, the queen's jade hand stretched out like a bolt of lightning. Her jade hand seemed to have a life-like soul, and went straight to Li Chengqian's perfect ears.  .

    "ah!"

    An inhuman voice sounded.

    On this evening in the East Palace, this kind of human-like and non-human sound kept ringing.

    With the singing of lowering the national flag outside, the north and south echoed!
