(Two in one chapter)
Not only Yujiazhuang, but also farmers in other villages in the north of Lantian County were greatly encouraged after learning that Li Zexuan had built a waterwheel that could carry river water!
Previously, the county government summoned people to repair canals. Due to the higher terrain of these villages, farmers were not very enthusiastic about repairing canals. Generally, each family only dispatched one or two laborers, and the rest were still busy digging wells. Water the ground!
But after the people heard the news, their attitude changed instantly! The farmers who had previously carried water from wells to irrigate their fields put down their poles and buckets one after another and joined the army of digging canals!
And because when the county government counted the number of people who were willing to repair the canals, these people did not sign up, so now they theoretically cannot get paid or reduce their corvee for helping to repair the canals. However, even so, the people are willing to help. Repair the canals, because if the canals are repaired one day earlier, the farmer's drought-stricken fields will be saved one day earlier. In comparison, the small amount of labor becomes a "petty profit"!
At the Qiquge Workshop, all the machines are in full operation. Under the arrangement of Uncle Fu, the craftsmen have started working in three shifts. The morning shift from Chen Shi to Wei Shi, the middle shift from Shen Shi to Hai Shi, and the middle shift from Zi Shi to Mao Shi For the night shift, the craftsmen were divided into three teams and worked hard to build the waterwheel in the workshop twelve hours a day!
By the way, this can be considered the world’s first three-shift workshop!
Although Li Zexuan has published the waterwheel drawings, among the big shots in the court, such as Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other important ministers, who doesn't have a few Zhuangzi under his command? The land in Guanzhong is suffering from drought, how can their Zhuangzi be spared? They also need a water tanker!
However, if they are asked to recruit craftsmen to make waterwheels according to the drawings given by Li Zexuan, most of them will find it troublesome, and they also feel in their hearts that the quality of the waterwheels made by other craftsmen is not as good as those made by the workshop, so in the end Changsun has no choice. Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others came to Li Zexuan to place orders!
Being in the court, Li Zexuan certainly knows how to deal with the world. If he helps make a few waterwheels, he can get a favor from the court boss. This deal is not a loss at all! Therefore, he accepted all the orders from the courtiers. In just one day, he received orders for more than 100 waterwheels in total, so the craftsmen in the workshop had no time to relax!
However, Li Zexuan did not treat the craftsmen in the workshop badly. First, the wages of the craftsmen were doubled this month. Second, those craftsmen working the night shift could receive an additional subsidy. In this way, although the craftsmen felt hard, they were motivated one by one. But it’s even better!
Driven by such a warm and exciting atmosphere, Lantian County set off a construction frenzy. Thousands of people and craftsmen worked tirelessly all day long. The construction progress of the canals was almost the same every day, and every day in the workshop After more than a dozen waterwheels were built, the people saw that there was hope for alleviating the drought, and finally smiles appeared again on their gloomy faces.
"Eh? Xiaoxuan...uh, Chief Shan, are you here to watch the game too?"
This day happened to be Saturday. Cheng Chumo, who had just experienced the torture of the mid-term exam, bought two tickets and took Yuchi Baolin to the football field in Lantian County to watch the game. He planned to let himself go in the passionate football game. Oh, no, he forgot his worries in the passionate football match, but he didn't expect to see Li Zexuan when he was looking for a seat in the stands, so he greeted him with a smile on his face and said.
Li Zexuan turned to look at Cheng Chumo and asked subconsciously: "Ha~! Chumo, you came to watch the game too? But how did you do in the midterm exam?"
Occupational disease, this is definitely an occupational disease. After working as a teacher for a long time, when seeing students, they will unconsciously care about their grades. Li Zexuan promised that he would never ask these questions before, but now it has become a habit! Sin, sin!
As soon as he asked about his grades, Yuchi Baolin immediately lowered his head and wished he could bury his head in the ground, because studying has never been Yuchi Baolin's strong point, and certainly not Cheng Chumo's strong point, but this guy is so thick-skinned!
There was no trace of shame on Cheng Chumo's face. Instead, he looked a little proud. He chuckled and said, "I did well in the exam. I think I will definitely pass every subject!"
Li Zexuan was speechless for a moment, and then said angrily: "Pass? Is this what you want?"
Cheng Chumo looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said nonchalantly: "What else? My father doesn't expect me to take the top exam, as long as I can pass every subject and not embarrass him! Hey! Yes! I think our old Cheng family has not been good at studying for generations. My father asked me to come to Yanhuang Academy to study. He probably just didn’t want me to be illiterate and be deceived by others in the future. So, Xiaoxuan, why don’t you use this as an excuse? , it can’t hit me!”
Li Zexuan was speechless. He didn't expect that Cheng Chumo, a good guy, was quite a jerk on weekdays, but he knew some key things very well! This aspect is very similar to Cheng Yaojin!
"You, you!"
Li Zexuan pointed at Cheng Chumo, thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, I know you don't have this ambition, so I won't force you anymore! Anyway, so what if you don't know a single word? You are still my brother! With me As long as Li Zexuan is here, no one in this life will dare to deceive you!"
Cheng Chumo was the first friend Li Zexuan made when he traveled through time. When he was a commoner, Cheng Chumo could treat him as an equal. Whenever he encountered trouble, Cheng Chumo was the first to jump out to help him, even though he is now "developed" ", but there is a saying that goes, "No matter how rich you are, never forget each other." Li Zexuan will never forget this friendship in his life!
"Haha! With your words from Xiaoxuan, I, Cheng Chumo, will be satisfied for the rest of my life! I didn't recognize your brother in vain!"
When Cheng Chumo heard this, his mood was agitated, his face flushed, and he couldn't help laughing loudly.
Brothers have been in love for a lifetime. Although Li Zexuan is the mountain leader and he is a student in the academy, brothers are brothers and nothing can change it!
Yuchi Baolin looked at the two people in front of him, a trace of envy flashed deep in his eyes. He also wanted such brotherhood, but he was not good at expressing emotions. In order to prevent Li Zexuan from noticing, he quickly lowered his head and turned his eyes deep The envy of the place was covered up!
"Oh! By the way! Xiaoxuan, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong. I heard that you have been busy repairing canals and building water trucks these days, but why do you have the time to come over and watch the football match today?"
Cheng Chumo suddenly said doubtfully.
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Watching a football match? Do you think I'm here to watch a football match like you? I'm here to select players!"
To be honest, the current level of football matches in Datang is really not that good. After all, it is in its infancy and is not at the same level as the passionate and ups and downs of modern football matches. You may feel it is fresh when you first watch it, but after watching it too much, it basically becomes a bit boring! So Li Zexuan didn't come to the stadium to watch a game for a while! He came here mainly to select the "national players"!
"Choose a player? Which player to choose?"
Cheng Chumo couldn't help but become more curious after hearing this.
"Does the mountain chief want to form a team?"
Yuchi Baolin couldn't help but ask at this time.
He just asked subconsciously, but Li Zexuan actually nodded, "Baolin guessed right, I do want to form a football team, a National Team of the Tang Dynasty. Football is rapidly becoming popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it will definitely be the same in the future." It became popular in other countries. When the surrounding small countries cannot defeat the Tang Dynasty in war, they may want to regain their place in football matches. My purpose of forming the Datang National Team is to prepare for emergencies!
Moreover, I also plan to hold a world football championship every few years, where all countries in the world can participate. The Datang national team will then replace Datang and "conquer" other countries!
I asked Mr. Zhang San to help me keep an eye on some good prospects. A few days ago, he gave me a list. Whenever the players on this list have a game, I will take the time to observe the performance of that player. If he is qualified, I will Call him into the national team! At that time, if there is a competition between countries, it will be their turn to use it! After all, this football originated from the Tang Dynasty. No matter what, we in the Tang Dynasty cannot be embarrassed by this! "
When Cheng Chumo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Hey! Xiaoxuan, you are right, this football came from our Tang Dynasty, no matter what, our football team should be the best! Oh, By the way, a while ago I heard from my dad that the prince of the Japanese country formed a football team and wanted to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Later, because the queen of the Japanese country passed away, the prince of the Japanese country went back! Hey! What do you want me to say about this Japanese country? The crown prince should thank their queen for saving him, otherwise others would be unwilling to go up, and I, Cheng Chumo, would have to go up and torture these Japanese Japanese who don’t know the heights of the world to their skin!”
"Tsk~!"
Li Zexuan sneered and said: "If it weren't for the use of martial arts, there really wouldn't be many teams in the Tang Dynasty that could defeat the football team formed by the Japanese prince! Stop bragging, ugly cow!"
Regarding the football team formed by Shanbei Brother Wang, Li Zexuan later asked Zheng Qianjun in private. According to Zheng Qianjun, that football team did have some skills, and the tacit understanding between the players definitely exceeded most of the current big players. Tang football team!
Cheng Chumo was clearly unconvinced, and he said: "Xiao Xuan, you are trying to boost other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige! Japan is just a small country, how can it have any good players? If you are not convinced, then just fight again, and don't say anything else. I don’t think the Japanese team can even play the Liangzhou sweat-blooded BMW team, let alone the Tigers and Fenglei teams!”
Li Zexuan smiled and did not make any meaningless rebuttal.
When Cheng Chumo saw that Li Zexuan was ignoring him, he rolled his eyes and said, "Xiaoxuan, how many players do you have your eye on now?"
"Six or seven, right? What's wrong?"
Li Zexuan replied calmly.
Cheng Chumo rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile: "Hey! That Xiaoxuan, you are busy with official duties all day long, how can you have time to manage the team? How about you tell me the training methods and tactics, and then I will help you train?" "
"just you?"
When Li Zexuan heard this, he looked at Cheng Chumo and said disdainfully.
Cheng Chumo suddenly became furious:
"What's wrong with me? No, Xiaoxuan and Ke Shiqing can go to Bashu to help you mine. What's wrong with me, a brother, helping you manage the team? They say that playing football is like fighting. My father has been fighting for so many years. , as his son, I still know a little bit about the art of war, right? I can help you manage the team, isn’t that more than enough? "
Li Zexuan was almost angry. He thought to himself: How dare you say that you know the art of war? Besides, who says that people who understand the art of war can definitely manage a team well? What is the logic!
Li Zexuan was about to refuse, but he thought that since Cheng Chumo was not very interested in college courses, it would be good to arrange something for him that he likes to do. After thinking for a moment, Li Zexuan said, "I originally planned to let Zheng Qianjun assist me in training the team. Yes, but since you Chu Mo also have this idea, then...then you two should be responsible together! Zheng Qianjun is usually responsible for the team's tactical training, and you are responsible for the team's physical training!"
At the critical moment, Li Zexuan, the "old driver", made a U-turn and almost choked Cheng Chumo to death, "I... Damn, Xiaoxuan, I thought you were going to let me be in charge of the team, no." Thinking of you, you still arranged a deputy for me, you obviously don’t trust me!"
Cheng Chumo looked aggrieved, and Li Zexuan couldn't help but said in a weird voice: "I deserve the key! Three handfuls of ten cents, Chumo, do you deserve it?"
"No..."
Cheng Chumo didn't understand why, and subconsciously wanted to say he wasn't worthy, but then he realized something was wrong and quickly shut up.
Yuchi Baolin came back to his senses at this time and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Brother Ugly Cow is not worthy!"
…………………………
Zheng Yinhong's Wind and Thunder Team contains most of Zheng Qianjun's hard work! Zheng Qianjun loves football very much and is also good at studying, so the Fenglei team has now become the favorite to win the championship!
Zheng Qianjun is in charge of the tactical training of the national team, while Cheng Chumo is responsible for the physical training of the national team members. The combination of civil and military skills really complements each other!
In addition, this morning, Zheng Qianjun brought good news to Li Zexuan, that is, the second batch of tea has arrived in Chang'an City!
Due to the tight schedule and the immature tea production skills of the tea fryers in the south of the Yangtze River, the first batch of tea leaves only weighed a hundred or so kilograms. The tea leaves distributed to each member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce were even more. not enough
But it’s different the second time! Zheng Yinhong directly sent someone to deliver 600 kilograms of tea. Even if he had to give out part of it, Li Zexuan would still get a lot!
Maybe it’s time to use fairy tea to make the Department of Commerce famous! By the way, let the merchants in Lantian County enjoy the convenience and benefits brought to them by the Commerce Department!
