049 With this waterwheel, why worry about another drought in Nanyang?
At this moment, outside the study, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps.
“Your Majesty, Nanyang urgent report!”
Shadow secret guard Zhang Han came to the study and said respectfully in front of Ying Zheng.
‘speak!”
Ying Zheng put away his emotions and said solemnly.
“Recently, there has been a severe drought in Nanyang, the people of Nanyang have been displaced, and there is a famine! Several people have starved to death!”
“The situation is critical, 100,000 urgent!”
Zhang Han trembled.
“what?”
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows suddenly and said in anger.
“Drought in Nanyang, why is the news coming now?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Nanyang County Governor concealed the report and was afraid of Junwei. Now things can’t be hidden anymore, and they were stabbed out by the refugees.”
“evil creature!”
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, furious.
Anger burned in the emperor’s eyes.
“Xuan, arrest the governor of Nanyang, the three Yi clans!”
“At the same time, we will mobilize military rations nearby and carry out disaster relief first.”
Ying Zheng ordered.
“Your Majesty, mobilize rations…”
Zhang Han hesitated.
Military rations have always been the most critical strategic materials, and they are the lifeblood of the Daqin army.
In history, no matter how famine occurs, few monarchs are willing to take the food of the army that maintains their majesty and power for disaster relief.
Now, the first emperor has mobilized military rations for disaster relief.
Too bad…
“Military rations can then be allocated from the palace treasury, and the relief of the victims is the first priority.”
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and said solemnly.
“In the past, when the Han state was not destroyed, there was a famine in Nanyang, the people were displaced, and the road was starved to death.”
“At that time, Han Wangan, the monarch of the Han Kingdom, was holding a birthday.”
“Ning is to use the few grains to hold his birthday ceremony, and refuse to give a grain to the people of Nanyang.”
“Therefore, later on, when I, the Qin Iron Cavalry, conquered Nanyang County.”
“The Han people inside, all waving and shouting, took the initiative to open the city to greet them, and pledged allegiance to Daqin.”
“People’s hearts are irreversible. Han Min believes in widowers, widowers, and definitely can’t afford them.”
“In the next three months, the daily expenses in the palace will be reduced to half of the original, making up for the loopholes in military rations!”
“Here!”
Zhang Han nodded.
Zhang Han stepped forward and took the Qin Wangjian from the first emperor, Tianwen.
As a symbol of the king’s power.
Immediately leave the study.
Go to the military camp.
Gather rations.
Behind the scenes, Dianke was weak.
Looking at the resolute and majestic back of the First Emperor.
There was a bit of admiration and excitement in his eyes.
Brave, decisive, quick.
Your Majesty, he has lived up to the expectations of the previous kings!
The spirit of the sixth king of Qin in heaven can rest in peace.
……
……
At this time, in the mansion of the “Faculty of Engineering”.
In an extra spacious courtyard, a pool was dug out in the middle and filled with clean water.
Inside the pool.
Several craftsmen are using bamboo poles to make something.
There are countless Gongshu disciples beside him, helping and assisting next to him.
The pool is small and is only used for simulation.
At the end, two disciples were using rollers to move the water flow.
Simulate the flow of river water as a river.
In the middle area of the middle pool, there is a giant gear-shaped object, and a water cylinder is hung on each wooden shaft.
With the continuous flow of water.
This made waterwheel is also constantly rolling.
After filling the water tank with water.
The power that flows through the flow of water.
The gears of the waterwheel send these wooden water cylinders suspended on wooden shafts to high places.
At the top, there are bamboos that have been cut in half, which are used as aqueducts.
After reaching a high place, the water tank naturally tilts due to the change of the center of gravity.
The water is poured into an aqueduct made of bamboo and flows into the aqueduct.
flow in all directions.
“His Royal Highness Ying Lan, we succeeded!!!”
Seeing the water wheel in front of you, under the action of the water flow, it is constantly rotating, sending water to a high place and irrigating the surrounding diversion canals.
The disciples of the Gongshu family who were present were excited.
There was excitement in his eyes.
“good!”
Seeing their research and development results, Ying Lan nodded and smiled.
After the Gongshu family came to Xianyang.
According to the book that he gave them: “Heavenly Creation”.
Their engineering and technical capabilities have advanced by leaps and bounds.
in this half year.
For example, wooden cows and horses and wind mills have been developed, which are technological tools that surpass the times.
And, and now, the irrigation tool, the waterwheel!
“Excellent, my lord!”
A Hanlin bachelor next to him said excitedly.
“Nanyang area suffers from drought all the year round, and farmers suffer heavy losses.”
“If we promote this irrigation tool in the Nanyang area.”
“Why are the common people suffering from drought again?”
Several other Hanlin scholars also agreed.
“Yeah, with this kind of thing, I won’t be afraid of drought in the future!”
“The engineering department of our Hanlin University is really a skilled craftsman in my Daqin!”
“The Gongshu family is the hero of Daqin!”
Hearing the praise from these Hanlin scholars, several Gongshu disciples were also a little excited and proud.
previously.
Most of the mechanism techniques developed by the Gongshu family are domineering mechanism techniques.
It is used to siege cities and start wars.
Therefore, it was dubbed “overbearing”.
hated and ostracized by many.
Not to be seen by the common people.
Now, they can use the principles of organ techniques to make infrastructure that is beneficial to the national economy and people’s livelihood.
This change made each of their disciples feel heartfelt happiness and joy.
After they were familiar with the classic book “Tian Gong Kai Wu”.
These production tools were developed.
“It seems that the empire’s choice of the Gongshu family as one of the three major sects of the empire is indeed useful.”
Ying Lan stood with his hands behind his back and said to himself.
“Once new high-efficiency production tools are developed, the production capacity of Daqin farmers can be greatly improved.”
“It is conceivable that in the near future, Daqin will no longer have to worry about food issues! Become a powerful empire standing proudly in the east of the world!”
“Come here, immediately draw the drawings of these waterwheels, copy a hundred of them, and quickly send them to Nanyang County.”
“Order the local county governor to popularize this irrigation tool and put it into full use!” Ying Lan ordered.
“As ordered!”
Several Gongshu disciples immediately took orders.
In the adjoining room, I began to copy and make drawings.
Then, hand it over to the servant.
Express to Nanyang County.
