Chapter 249: The Emperor of Tang Dynasty steals watermelon
As a person from later generations.
Li Chengqian knew that in Mobei Road, there were two wind directions throughout the year.
One is the northwest wind in spring, autumn and winter, and the other is the southeast wind in summer.
If you ask, why is there no southwest wind?
It is nothing more than being blocked by the big brother, the Himalayas.
In this way, it will be more convenient for Li Chengqian to use wind energy to manufacture water pumps.
First, he built a wind mill on the main canal.
This mill is fundamentally different from the mills in paper mills.
The wind mill in the paper mill only uses wind energy to crush sawdust and bamboo to obtain pulp.
This mill is completely designed according to the principle of a water pump. It is a pump with an enlarged appearance and reduced power.
…
Wait until the day when the wind mill is officially opened.
All the workers stopped what they were doing and gathered near the wind mill to watch curiously.
They had never seen this thing before, and they didn't understand what it was for.
It just looks like a huge windmill.
And they also heard from the soldiers in Qianzi Camp that this thing was specially developed by His Highness the King of Qin for the purpose of pumping water to irrigate farmland.
But can this thing really pump water?
Just when everyone is looking forward to it.
Li Chengqian gave an order and the main operating pin of the card main unit was pulled out.
With a heart-wrenching sound of squeaking, water gushes out from several bamboo tubes placed in each branch canal.
Seeing this scene, everyone around was shocked.
What kind of magic is this?
Just divert the water from the main canal into the branch canal?
{Received surprise value +9 from Quefu...}
{Received surprise value +10 from Guo Zhan...}
{Received surprise value +9 from Jide...}
{…}
A wave of system prompts came over me, almost in one continuous stream.
He never thought that he could gain so many points by building this thing.
This is really given to Li Chengqian An unexpected surprise.
But this is also a digression.
Now that the wind mill method of irrigating farmland has worked.
Li Chengqian did not hesitate and immediately ordered the construction of a wind mill every fifty steps on the main canal to pump water to irrigate farmland.
A month later, the wind mill was completed.
More than a hundred acres of rice fields have been reclaimed, and more than a thousand acres of dry fields have been reclaimed.
Saw such a scene.
Li Chengqian was also filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Especially when looking at the dozen or so wind mills.
He felt extremely happy in his heart.
To a certain extent, developing wind mills is more important than cultivating farmland.
Li Chengqian still remembers that there was a time when wind mills were used in Europe to process wood, make paper, dye, forge iron, etc.
The Dutch even used windmills to create the world's first industrial zone.
And this also gave Li Chengqian hope.
If one day, he can make full use of the wind mill.
Maybe he could use the wind mill to forge a steam engine.
And with steam engines, long guns and cannons, and even battleships and ships, isn't it just a matter of time before they are built?
China entered the industrial age a thousand years earlier than the West.
Will it still be bullied by Western powers more than a thousand years later?
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and looked into the distance.
If that day comes, this era will definitely be changed.
And what he said about letting everyone in the world learn Chinese will definitely become a reality.
…
Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, Li Chengqian led two thousand troops to fight in the Hetao area from early spring to midsummer.
The crops cultivated by Li Chengqian took root and sprouted in this land, and gradually grew stronger and matured.
"Is this still the Loop in my mind?"
"How did it become like this in just half a year?"
On the field road, an imposing man sighed in disbelief.
Beside him, the equally extraordinary guy couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, your highness is really amazing at this."
Hearing this, the majestic man smiled proudly: "I don't even care who his son is."
There is probably only one person in this world who can say this.
That is, the mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.
And the person following him could not be anyone else, it was Changsun Wuji, one of the three gangsters in the early Tang Dynasty.
Along the way, the two men saw corn fields, rice fields, potato fields and sweet potato fields.
As the two continued to walk forward, the plants in front became smaller.
When he saw this plant, Li Shimin couldn't help but squat down and take a closer look.
The leaves of this plant are very large, and it has already produced spherical fruits as big as a human head.
He knocked on the ball fruit and couldn't help but ask: "Wuji, do you know what this is?"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji watched carefully for a while.
Then he looked ashamed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I haven't seen such a thing before."
Li Shimin chuckled: "This kid is really capable of doing things, he has come up with so many weird things."
"Hey, what are you doing over there?"
Just when the two were talking and laughing, a question suddenly rang in their ears.
When Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked up.
Only then did he realize that a dark-skinned man dressed as a farmer was standing not far away.
Without Li Shimin opening his mouth, Changsun Wuji chuckled and said, "We are looking for someone."
"Find someone?"
The farmer frowned and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Changsun Wuji said truthfully: "We are looking for King Qin, do you know where he is?"
"right."
Li Shimin also raised his head and said, "Where is that kid? Hurry and tell him to come over and see me." These two people came this time without notifying Li Chengqian or anyone in advance.
And he came completely in a disguised manner.
But when these two people were talking, it was simply not something that a crazy person could stop.
How dare you ask King Qin to come over to see him? Who is this person?
The farmer looked at the two men carefully up and down with a serious look on his face.
The two of them were almost the same as ordinary people except that their clothes were made of better materials.
Besides, even if the farmer thought about it again, he would never think of this person as the emperor.
His first thought was to conclude that these two people were here to cause trouble.
He didn't say much to the other party, he simply said: "Come here, someone stole the watermelon!"
Um???
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji suddenly showed black question mark faces.
What the hell?
Who stole the watermelon?
Furthermore...
What is watermelon?
Just when Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were confused.
Suddenly a large number of people dressed in the same style as the farmer poured out around him.
Without saying a word, these people rushed towards Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was not an absolute civil servant.
Seeing this situation, he stood in front of Li Shimin without hesitation.
He directly rebuked: "Don't be so presumptuous!"
"You know we are..."
He wanted to make his identity clear to calm the other party.
Unexpectedly, the farmer who stood up first shouted again: "They also insulted His Majesty the King of Qin, don't let them run away!"
During this period, Li Chengqian established a very strong prestige in this place.
These people all admired Li Chengqian from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, I heard that someone was humiliating Li Chengqian.
How can they endure it?
No matter what, he rushed forward and fought with Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin...
