He hurriedly went home and brought incense and other offerings to burn incense for Dragon King Pump.

Needless to mention the ignorant villagers, even a genius like Zhuge Liang couldn't think of the principle here.

In fact, the Dragon King Pump was originally named the water wheel pump. It was an old object found by Lu Bu. It was from the water conservancy period in the 1950s and 1960s.

No oil or electricity, but the only need to pump water day and night is water flow or there is a drop. Don’t think it is a perpetual motion machine or something, it does not exist. It’s just that the water wheel uses the impact force of the water flow to directly convert it into the power of pumping water.

Zhuge Liang took out the official documents and repeatedly confirmed to Lizheng: "The ownership of this Dragon King Pump belongs to the Dongguan County Government Office. It is for use in your village. Now it is a temporary installation emergency. You need to reinstall it again. The water pumped by this pump can be used regardless of wealth. Everyone should be as humble as possible and don't make unnecessary arguments."

Li Zheng nodded: "I understand, I understand. But such a large Dragon King pump should be very expensive, and it is not safe to put it here."

"At this time, the watering ground is to protect your life. It's time to save your life. You can't stop the watering ground at night. Take turns to keep it. A floor shop is built here, and people who water the ground at night can rest and look at the Wanglong Pump. But there is no need to worry too much. Those who dare to steal. If they destroy the Dragon King Pump are caught, they will be sentenced to severe punishment, so most people dare not."

Zhuge Liang worked hard all day and led the team to follow four Dragon King pumps. More than 60 units were installed in the entire Dongguan County in one day.

In the evening, the county magistrate's yamen.

Zhuge Liang is talking about things with his brother Zhuge Jin.

"Brother, can you let me disassemble a Dragon King pump to see if there is a Dragon King inside?"

Zhuge Jin waited for him and said, "You are making a fuss again. Military advisor Chen Gong said, no one is allowed to destroy the Dragon King Pump. You just study it if you disassemble it, but if it leaks out the manufacturing method, it is a serious crime. The governor is never polite to the spy. The spys arrested several times were executed."

"But I'm not a spy, I'm just curious."

"Then, go to Xuzhou to find the governor and tell the truth. If the master allows you, open it open. If it doesn't work, forget it. But I asked the craftsman who came over, and said that it was a water wheel inside. The water wheel rotated, which drove the water to pump up."

The young Zhuge Liang could understand it, but he didn't understand how fast it could pump water several meters high.

Water is the foundation of agriculture. If it cannot be irrigated, grain production will be greatly reduced.

With so many high-yield crops in Xuzhou, coupled with such a novel invention, increasing grain production and income has become a foregone conclusion. In the final analysis, the princes' competition for hegemony is still a competition of money and grain. If there is no problem with grain, then the problem will be solved halfway. Zhuge Liang is very optimistic about Lu Bu. If he continues to develop according to this momentum, as long as he does not make any tricks, he should be able to achieve great things in the future.

"Brother, my plan to become an official in a few years. You can recommend me when the time comes."

"You don't need to recommend me to you. Mr. Wen once asked you and said he wanted to ask you to be an official. But you are only twenty years old and you will be studying for two more years. Then you will be an aide to Mr. Wen."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang touched his nose and felt thoughtful.

In fact, the 200 Dragon King pumps in each county can have little effect, and even 10% of the land cannot be watered.

Fortunately, the weather is beautiful, and sweet rain falls five days later, alleviating the drought.

After the drought is relieved, all counties and counties removed all the Dragon King pumps that were installed in a hurry and reinstalled. Without long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. It cannot be said that when you see there is no drought in front of you, you will consider that there will be no drought in the future. The climate is not like this or that, but it is not what you think.

Let’s talk about Danyang County again, just as Lu Bu expected. After a month of preparation, Yuan Shu sent Zhang Xun to lead 30,000 troops to attack Danyang County, preparing to take it back.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan led 10,000 troops to intercept the enemy halfway.

In a fierce battle, Yuan Shu's army lost more than 10,000 people under the fierce attack of the crossbow and crossbow. Zang Ba and Sun Guan fought bravely to kill the enemy and led their troops into the enemy's formation. Zhang Xun was frightened and returned with great defeat.

Zang Bajun also lost more than a thousand people, but he did not hurt the fundamentals.

Yuan Shu's army was defeated one after another, and was seriously injured and unable to attack in the short term. Danyang experienced a short-term peace.

In Danyang City, Ji Ling was handling official affairs in the yamen. His military intelligence officers came to report: "General, Zang Ba's army won a great victory, and Zhang Xun retreated."

Ji Ling was surprised. He won in just a few days?

"Zang Ba, Sun Guan is not simple, it's amazing. Prepare some pigs and sheep and send them to the labor force."

Danyang City was poor, Ji Ling didn't have much supplies, so he only allocated more than a dozen pigs and dozens of sheep sent people to work for the army.

During this period, the official roads in Danyang County have been rested and recuperated. Each of the 30,000 strong men received a pack of Wenhou melon seeds, a set of iron pickaxes and shovels. Of course, these are not for free. A pack of Wenhou melon seeds will have to pay 30 kilograms of Wenhou melon in autumn. A set of agricultural tools will pay 60 kilograms of grain a year.

The strong men were so happy that Wenhou melon was sweet and delicious, with a huge yield. One piece of it would bear several fruits, with a yield of dozens of kilograms. Needless to mention iron pickaxes and shovels, everyone used it when repairing the official roads, which was very useful. With this weapon, you can deeply turn over the land when there are no crops in the farmland. Next year, one acre can be used as two acres of land.

It is worth mentioning that the fees for returning tools and seeds are collected by the governments of Danyang County and the counties below, and Zang Ba did not interfere.

Ji Ling called him righteous, which was to leave enough money and food for Danyang County to develop.

"General, General Liao Hua is here." The personal soldiers came in to report to Ji Ling.

Liao Hua was responsible for the post station and material transportation, and Ji Ling came to the door to greet him.

I saw Liao Hua carrying a convoy of dozens of cars, with bamboo baskets loaded on it.

"Brother Liao Hua, thank you for your hard work, where are you from?"

"General Ji is polite."

Liao Hua took out a list of supplies: "According to the order of the lord, fifty trucks of pickled vegetables were transported, totaling 50,000 kilograms. This is used to repair the official roads of each county."

Ji Ling took it and saw that it was Lu Bu's order, requiring the summer grains of each county under Danyang County to repair the official roads from Danyang Army to each county after harvesting the summer grains. He required that the carriages be as flat as possible.

There are still some official roads from the six counties of Danyang County to the county town, and all of them can be connected to horses and carriages. However, these official roads have been disrepaired for so long, and the impact of rain and water, and some places have been damaged, so maintenance is imminent.

When building roads, people don’t have to pay money, but they have to pay attention to food and drink. Pickles can solve the big problem.

Look at the following, the only supplies Lu Bu needs are dry bamboos that make arrow shafts.

Danyang County bamboo was everywhere and there were a lot of stocks. Ji Ling first organized fifty cars and gave them to Liao Hua.

Liao Hua said: "The lord said that one million copper coins will be sent in a while, and will be distributed to the soldiers at that time. I hope General Ji Ling will properly farm and plant some food and vegetables to supply military supplies."
