"Ten thousand acres of land? That doesn't seem to be much..." Xiao Han felt that Old Feng was making a fuss.
In later generations, there will be more than one million acres of experimental fields. If this is only 10,000 acres, it is still planted in scattered areas. What problems can there be?
Seeing Xiao Han's disapproval, Lao Feng felt a little anxious. He simply squatted opposite Xiao Han and said to him: "Xiao Hou, you once told me that this rice seed needs to be spread in Hanzhong first! But this Hanzhong There are only so many paddy fields, and most of them are occupied, so where can we find land to plant them?”
"There aren't many paddy fields here? Who said that?" Xiao Han scratched the back of his head, looked around, then pointed at the ditch and asked, "Look, there is so much water here, and there is also the Hanshui River! Just take it from Where can we divert a little water and turn it into a paddy field? Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. From tomorrow on, we will ask more people to come over and open up wasteland! A large area of land over there is deserted. Let him transform it into a paddy field. It's such a big area, it should be hundreds of acres at least!"
Xiao Han is high-spirited and full of ambition! Old Feng on the side said something sarcastic: "Xiao Hou, I'm afraid this won't work..."
"No? Why?" Xiao Han suddenly turned his head and looked at Old Feng strangely.
"Because you want paddy fields, not dry fields..." Old Feng covered his face and said in a muffled voice.
Xiao Han became more and more strange. He gestured and said, "What's the difference? Aren't they all leveled? Then get the water... cough cough!"
He spoke so hastily that Xiao Han almost choked on the mouthful of mung bean soup he held in his mouth, and a few mung beans even spurted out from his nostrils!
Finally I know where I went wrong. Why are paddy fields called paddy fields? Because it needs watering! Where can I find a water pump now? If you don’t have a water pump, use a bucket to fill it? With hundreds of acres of land, just irrigating it would be exhausting!
The more embarrassed a person is, the faster his mind usually spins! Looking at Old Feng with a strange expression, Xiao Han suddenly had an idea flash in his mind, then he hit his palm hard, stood up and said: "By the way, there is no water pump, our car will overturn!"
Lao Feng was startled by Xiao Han's surprise and quickly stood up and asked him: "Overturned? What overturned? Did the carriage or the ox cart overturn?"
"A car overturned! It's not that car overturned, it's this car overturned... Hey, I can't explain it to you! I'm talking about the thing that can lift water from a low place to a high place!" Xiao Han was successfully fooled by the old man in his first sentence. Feng Dai is in a ditch! After gesticulating for a long time, I finally said what I wanted to say.
By the way, wasn't Ma Jun from the Three Kingdoms period, hundreds of years earlier than the Tang Dynasty? Why doesn't Lao Feng even know about his overturn? This guy doesn't study history?
"Lifting water from a low place to a high place? Overturning the car?" Old Feng glared at Xiao Han, and he couldn't figure out the principle of lifting water by turning a car over.
"Ma Jun, Ma Jun knows? A craftsman from the Three Kingdoms period?"
"Um, I've heard about this. What does he have to do with this overturned car?"
Yes, looking at Lao Feng's confused eyes, he has probably heard of this name. As for what this man did and what he invented, I probably don’t know as much as Xiaoji does...
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Han said helplessly: "Forget it, I don't count on you anymore, I'd better do it myself..."
Hey, I'm used to it. If you want something, don't expect others. After all, our great leader once said, do it yourself and you'll have enough food and clothing! Since there is no rollover here, why don’t we just make one?
Braving the sun, he ran to the thatched hut where he was eating, and kicked the sleeping fool inside to wake him up! The idiot was suddenly kicked out of bed and was about to get angry! When he saw it was Xiao Han, he immediately gave up and followed Xiao Han's instructions to find a carpenter.
Instructing the fool, Xiao Han moved the tables, chairs and benches under the thatched shed to the side to create an open space. Then he picked up a small wooden stick and started to draw a model of an overturned car on the ground.
In fact, Xiao Han should have thought of a farming artifact like the car roll. However, there is a large waterwheel in Xiaojiazhuangzi, so there is no need for that thing. And it's even worse here, the paddy fields are lower than the water in the ditches. Just dig a little bit and the water will pour in!
Because I didn’t need it, I didn’t even think about it! If Lao Feng hadn't mentioned it today, Xiao Han wouldn't have thought of doing this.
Trying to remember the diagram of a car rollover he had seen in elementary school, Xiao Han drew it bit by bit on the ground. Lao Feng, who was following, tilted his head and looked aside, trying to see why the overturned car had such a big effect.
Halfway through the drawing, there was a sound from outside, but it was two carpenters running over with their tools clanking, and even the fast fool couldn't catch up!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them ran into the hut out of breath. When they saw Xiao Han, they didn't even bother to wipe their sweat. After bowing first, they said with warm eyes: "Master Marquis, are you looking for us? Look at us. Whatever you two can do, just ask!"
The two carpenters were so excited at this time! Oh my God, those two gemstone craftsmen followed Xiao Hou and made a lot of money a few days ago, and later the two coppersmiths followed suit and made a lot of money too! The two of them were the only ones whose eyes were almost red! Could it be that it is finally our turn?
"Here you come? Take a break first, let's see how tired you two are!" Xiao Han was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the two carpenters. He knew to bring the tools as soon as he shouted! Unlike the fool, if you ask him to get a bucket, he will get a bucket. As for the water inside... Well, who told you that there must be water in it...
When the two carpenters heard Xiao Han's first words, he asked them to take a break first, their hearts became hot. They quickly shook their heads and said: "No need to take a break, we are not tired, the Marquis's matters are more important!"
When Xiao Han saw the two of them saying this, he didn't force himself. He pointed at the almost finished drawing on the ground and said, "Okay, then come over and take a look. I'm going to make a tool for turning water up. Let's study it together?" "
"A tool for turning water up?" The two carpenters looked at each other strangely, quickly put the tools aside, came over and squatted on the ground to look at the pictures drawn by Xiao Han.
The drawing was very rough. After all, it was drawn hastily on the dirt with tree sticks. It took the two carpenters a long time to look at it before they could make out the general outline.
"How about it, let's see what materials to use. Let's make a model first and improve the rest bit by bit!" Xiao Han pointed at the picture with a tree stick and talked to the two of them. The main reason was that it had been too long and he had forgotten the details, and now he could only remember a rough outline.
The older carpenter was looking at the picture in a trance. When he heard Xiao Han speak, he suddenly came to his senses. Then he looked up at Xiao Han and asked: "Master Hou, this is Master Ma's dragon bone." Waterwheel?”
Xiao Han didn't expect that an illiterate craftsman would know something that even Lao Feng didn't know. He was shocked and asked him quickly: Do you know this? Where did you know that? "
The older carpenter cupped his hands and said to Xiao Han: "Hui Houye, I don't know it. I just heard about it before, but never saw the real thing!"
"You've heard of it, that means it really existed. Why hasn't such a good thing spread?" He was obviously talking about overturning, but for some reason, Xiao Han suddenly became angry as he spoke!
Throughout history, other civilizations are always making progress! Only Chinese civilization always makes progress, and then inexplicably regresses! So much so that a country that was once so far ahead in the world was later insulted by some smaller countries!
