    Chapter 802: [Drainage]

    ¡­¡­

    These days, for Li Chengqian, his ears are red, and he is not allowed to go out anymore.

    Lao Long was also grounded by the Queen. She transferred the two bearded doormen at the entrance of the Queen's Li Zheng Palace to guard Li Chengqian's door.

    The queen has spoken. If Li Chengqian dares to go out, let the two bearded men tie Li Chengqian directly to the Li Zheng Palace.

    ?Looking at these two bearded men, they are tall, powerful, blond, blue-eyed, and have long noses. It is clear at a glance that these two are not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the ancient temple!

    Well, I guess they are either Russians or Arabs!

    Anyway, he is not one of our own, let alone a Tang Dynasty person who can communicate well. If he wants to go out, there is no way.

    ¡°If we insist on going out, these foreigners who don¡¯t understand the rules and are unkind will probably really kidnap Li Chengqian.

    While Li Chengqian lamented that the Tang Dynasty was really developed and even had foreign bodyguards, he also forgot that he could not eat these two foreign bodyguards. Of course, this would degrade him, a civilized person, into a backward and civilized food who eats foreign bodyguards.  Human race.

    In the end, I felt it wasn¡¯t worth it, so I gave up.

    During the few days Li Chengqian was confined, it rained continuously for two days, and then stopped intermittently after two days.

    The next day when his ears were red and swollen like the Tathagata Buddha, Fatty Zhu entered the palace and told Li Chengqian about the situation in Zhuangzi.

    It turns out that Master Lu has already assembled the waterwheel. The first prototype is already available and has been tested according to the method Li Chengqian said.  They succeeded in pumping water from the fields.

    Now we have concentrated all our efforts on people and material resources to assemble them in batches.

    When I entered the palace on the third day.  Fatty Zhu said that they had built three waterwheels and had people start pumping water.  The water was pumped into the river that Wangjiazhuang passed by.

    In order to prevent the fields on the farm from being soaked, the able-bodied tenants took turns getting on the carts and constantly pumping water into the river.

    Although the water in the river has risen very high, it still carries a large amount of water when it flows. There is no need to worry that the river will burst its banks.

    As more water trucks were assembled, more water was pumped out. After two days of soaking in the fields, it was finally recovered.

    Although the rain continues to fall.  But it couldn't stand the dozens of water trucks pumping water outside.

    The water windmill erected on the river in Wangjiazhuang has been dismantled. Of course, water from the river cannot be poured in now.

    The water from Wangjiazhuang was pumped almost as fast. The people from Huangzhuang dug a ditch in Wangjiazhuang and pumped the water into the ditch. Then the people over there pumped the water from the ditch into the river.

    With this combination, the water in Huangzhuang is also decreasing at a very fast speed.

    Another news is that other people in Zhuangzi were envious when they saw the waterwheels in Huangzhuang and Wangjiazhuang.  Seeing that the fields on their village were soaked in water, they felt very distressed, so they went to Wangjiazhuang and Huangzhuang to borrow a water truck.

    Fatty Zhu is good at making ideas.  I lent a few cars to several villagers, one for each village.

    ¡°But the amount of water pumped is too small, so it has no effect.  So Fatty Zhu asked them to send someone from Zhuangzi to follow Master Lu.  Let's assemble the water wheel together and make a water wheel for use.

    "Yeah. Well done. In the face of disaster, we can't charge them for water tankers." Li Chengqian explained to Fatty Zhu.

    Fatty Zhu must have said that he was thinking about the prince's secrets, so he didn't collect money from them at this time and borrowed it for free at Huangzhuang.

    Li Chengqian was even more satisfied with Fatty Zhu.

    After Fatty Zhu reported here, he returned to Huangzhuang and spread what Li Chengqian said.

    In the face of disaster, you cannot accept money!

    Huangzhuang Waterwheel, help everyone!

    As soon as these words came out, everyone around the Imperial Manor was thinking of His Highness the Prince.

    The tenants and servants of the Imperial Manor suddenly felt proud of their work in the Imperial Manor, and their status was a little nobler.

    But they still didn¡¯t know that this noble Crown Prince was Master Li who often visited the Imperial Manor.

    Gui'e doesn't know either.

    The water wheel suddenly gained a high reputation in that area, so people whose fields were flooded wanted to go to Huangzhuang to borrow the water wheel.

    " However, Huangzhuang's production capacity is limited and it cannot assemble so many waterwheels at once. The supply exceeds demand.

    The effect of the shortage of supply is that the reputation of waterwheels spreads more and more.

    Very?The news reached the ears of the ministers of the imperial court.

    When Kong Yingda heard this, his eyes lit up.  Not long ago, he praised Li Chengqian in the morning, and then said that he would build an agricultural college. Now he has invented a waterwheel. Doesn't it mean that Li Chengqian is a very great person and a good prince who cares for the people?

    So in the morning, Kong Yingda prepared a memorial of three thousand words and read it to Lao Li and all the ministers in court.

    "Three thousand words. If you are writing a novel, you will have it. If you are writing an urban novel, you will have a conversation with a few people."  But the three thousand words written by Kong Yingda are not simple.

    ??Kong Yingda wrote it in classical Chinese, every word is exquisite, and every word is condensed. Such three thousand words are solid, and the dry content and information are very powerful.

    This compliment brought Li Chengqian a lot of credit, prestige and reputation.

    Li Chengqian was snickering below.

    While the ministers were praising Li Chengqian, some practical ministers were thinking about how to promote these waterwheels.  Because it has been raining heavily recently, there have been floods nearby. In the past few days, the ministers have been discussing how to provide disaster relief. Now that the water tanker has come out, it has become an urgent need.  Therefore, the invention of Li Chengqian's waterwheel also had a blessing effect this time.

    But even under such circumstances, one or two officials who were brain-stricken stood up and said that they had heard from Zhuangzi that the waterwheel was not invented by the prince, but by a master of the imperial village.  Yes, so as the crown prince of a country, how can the prince covet the inventions of his subordinates? It¡¯s chilling!

    Hearing this, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes at him.

    This guy is really having a seizure.

    First of all, in the face of such a disaster, we are not here to discuss the question of who is the inventor. We must first get the water tanker to provide disaster relief.  Now to refute that the prince is not the inventor will only delay things.  And if in the end it is proven that the prince really did not invent it, wouldn¡¯t the ministers be afraid to use waterwheels if they want to provide disaster relief?

    Not to mention that Li Chengqian is the prince. If he says this, he is ready to slap the prince in the face!  In this way, he is not talking about things, but the rhythm of the battle.

    Of course, he didn¡¯t even investigate Qingchu. He didn¡¯t know that the master of Huangzhuang was Li Chengqian. Just talking about the prince like this was really a convulsive rhythm.

    Li Chengqian chuckled at him, ignored him, raised his hands and said to Lao Li:

    "Father, I think this matter is not suitable for debate at this time."

    The minister was dissatisfied and said: "The prince's words are ridiculous. This is a question of people's integrity"

    Li Chengqian raised his hand and said impatiently: "Who is this sir?"

    "My surname is Wei, my given name is Yang, my courtesy name is Xu Chu" the admonisher said seriously.

    "Okay, Master Yang Wei" Li Chengqian interrupted him, "I don't have time to listen to your detailed introduction of names, numbers, etc"

    "Wei Yang!" Wei Yang's admonishing officer corrected him.

    "Okay, let's not care about whether I invented the waterwheel for the momentOkay, even if I didn't invent it, let's give time to the prime ministers who are doing the disaster relief. We will talk about it later!" Li Chengqian took the initiative to give in and said.

    As soon as these words came out, they were recognized and appreciated by many ministers. The prince is increasingly focusing on the overall situation. Okay, not bad!

    But the Yangwei official refused to give in and said resolutely: "This depends on a person's integrity, not to mention that His Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country. If he can even claim this, the country will not be a country, and the king will not be a king!"  "

    Li Chengqian even took the initiative to say that he did not invent it, but this Yangwei official kept pursuing him. Li Chengqian was dissatisfied, and so were the other officials.

    At this time, the official next to him gently pulled him and asked him to stop talking.

    But this man was very stubborn and stared at Li Chengqian as if Li Chengqian had robbed his wife.

    Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable being stared at by him.  This man had a seizure. During the disaster, a water tanker came out to pump out water. He should be happy, but he actually came out and said that he had received the credit under his false name.  If he gives in on his own initiative and doesn't need to grab it, it will be treated as if it is not his. Well, he still refuses to accept it. He looks so hateful, as if Li Chengqian is his enemy. He also says that a country will not be a country, and a king will not be a king.  Damn it, if you look at him like this now, no matter how bad-tempered you are, you can't stand him!

    Li Chengqian, who had always been a good person, his expression also changed, and he shouted to Yang Wei:

    "Have you had enough?"

    "Whether you want a country or not, the country is here, whether you want a king or not, whether you are a king or not, it is not up to you! Now in Zhuangzi outside, the people's fields are soaked with water., you didn¡¯t think about how to quickly let them use the water wheel to drain the water from the fields. You only knew what the inventor of the water wheel was. I said it even if I didn¡¯t invent the water wheel.  , let others discuss disaster relief first, but you have been lingering here, what kind of mentality do you have!  ?  "

    "Okay, let me tell you now, the master at Huangzhuang is me. Yes, if you have the ability, go to Huangzhuang and check it out. If you don't check it out on the spot, don't come here to vomit!"

    When he lost his temper, all the high-ranking officials in the dynasty fell silent, listening to Li Chengqian curse, and you could hear the drop of a pin.

    That Yangwei official was so scolded by Li Chengqian that his face turned yellow.

    The officials around him looked at him with contempt.

    Lao Li coughed twice, and when he was about to break the ice, the Yangwei official stammered: "Your Majesty, the prince said so harshly, are you saying that you really invented the waterwheel? Wei's Zhuangzi also invented it."  Near Huangzhuang, we also borrowed Huangzhuang¡¯s water truck yesterday to pump out the water and rescued 30% of the seedlings.¡­¡±
