The windmill was already a good invention. Ye An came up with an idea, so Zhao Zhen and Li Duanyinian used their wisdom to put it into practice.
Of course, for the people of the Song Dynasty, the effect of windmills was not ideal, or for some people who needed windmills, they were not very useful.
What windmills need most is wind. The reason why it is so popular in the "Netherlands" is because it has a vast land with winds. The Netherlands is located in the prevailing westerly belt of the earth, with westerly winds blowing all year round. At the same time, it is close to the Atlantic Ocean, and sea and land breezes are constant all year round.
.In contrast, China's "Henan" is not in a wind belt and is not blown by the sea breeze.
But compared to the wheeled windmill, the ancient Han people had already invented the vertical windmill, which was a windmill similar to a sail, and it was even available in prison!
The supervising craftsman carefully installed the vertical windmill by the pond in the back garden of the palace, because the faces of Zhao Zhen, Chen Lin and others opposite were really ugly. In fact, the principle is the same, but the vertical windmill is more consistent.
China’s national conditions.
The so-called vertical windmill uses six sail-like fan blades placed vertically parallel to the central axis. The huge sail-type fan blades can utilize wind energy to the greatest extent, which is of greater benefit to people in places where strong winds do not occur frequently.
, and utilization rate, Ye An had to lament the advanced nature of Chinese wisdom and its adaptability to local conditions.
"Using several sails to drive the car over and remove the water for planting. This is the function of the wind wheel, and the windmill you made is also very good..."
Compared to the fast vertical windmill that poured water, the windmill invented by Zhao Zhen and Li Duanyi was much slower, which made the two children blush.
This is the first time they have used Gewu to achieve results, but it is not without its merits. Du Wo, the supervisor, looked at the wheeled windmill that was slowly turning the pond water into the ditch and said excitedly:
"Guan Jia, this windwheel was made by my father Du Hao, but it is relatively heavy and uses a lot of materials. Your windmill uses less materials. Although it is slow, it is durable and easy to repair!"
Zhao Zhen was slightly surprised and said: "Du Hao? That "Du Wanjuan"?"
Du Wolian said he didn't dare, but Zhao Zhen said: "The eldest lady often said that he had a strong memorization of blog posts. Every time he got a different book in the late emperor's pavilion, he would consult him. Whenever he inspected it, he told the scribe: something, a certain book
In a certain volume and a certain line, after checking, there is no error, and people praise him as "Du Wanjuan". I didn't expect that he would have such an invention, it is really amazing!"
Ye An also gained some knowledge. Before, he only knew that there were windmills in China, but those were recorded in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't expect that they had appeared in the Song Dynasty.
Sure enough, this was an era of powerful science and technology and an era of numerous literati. In comparison, the literati of later generations seemed far removed from the literati of this era.
No wonder some people say that there will be no China after Yashan. After thousands of years of brewing, the wisdom of the Han family has reached its peak in this era. If it had not been destroyed, it might have been even more glorious, right?
With Du Wo's praise, Zhao Zhen felt confident. He asked the servants in the palace to maintain the operation of the two windmills, and judge which type of windmill was better based on the amount of water flow and the duration.
Of course, maintenance and costs must also be factored in.
This is the most basic statistics. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen used it so appropriately, which also made Ye An quite satisfied.
But what surprised Ye An even more was what happened later. Zhao Zhen and Li Duanyi also installed a water wheel transmission device next to the windmill... not only using wind energy, but also the action of water flow, the speed of the windmill suddenly soared, and the water flow exceeded
The bigger, the faster the bearings in the windmill rotate, and they can truly play their full role. This is something Ye An never expected.
The young man's wisdom and ingenuity amazed everyone present. Du Wo really admired Zhao Zhen and Li Duanyi's invention. In his opinion, this should not be something that two young men could figure out, and Lan Jizong and
Chen Lin looked at Zhao Zhen as if she were a sage. In their opinion, the wisdom of an official was comparable to that of a talented and strategic king.
Only Ye An knew that these two children had gradually become creative through his guidance and training in certain aspects.
Liu E heard the news and went to the back garden to watch. Especially after seeing the windmill invented by Zhao Zhen and Li Duanyi, she was even more amazed by the child's intelligence.
Others don't know the function of the windmill, but Liu E knows it. As long as it can help farmers irrigate and grind flour, everything is excellent.
And she can gain a reputation for Zhao Zhen. At this point, she has no intention of taking it for herself. In fact, Liu E is very clever. She knows the relationship between herself and Zhao Zhen, and the reputation of Zhao Zhen becomes louder and louder.
, her status as the titular Queen Mother becomes more stable.
Of course, some courtiers would make a fuss about this kind of thing, but Liu E is not worried now. As long as Zhao Zhen is trained well by her, it will be a great achievement, and even the ancestors of the old Zhao family will not blame him.
of!
The palace maid in goose-yellow palace clothes squatted down shyly in front of Ye An and said: "Marquis of Yunzhong, the saint calls you."
When Lan Jizong saw the maid's shyness that turned red to her earlobes, they all rolled their eyes and snorted disdainfully: "Ye Hou is really a good-looking person! Even the palace maids are ashamed of you!"
Gong E ran as if running for her life, Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "At the age of ten, it is normal for you to blush in front of foreign ministers. You can't compare yourself with it, right?"
Chen Lin laughed loudly on the side: "Did you know that there is a saying among the women in the palace: There is a wise man who leaves the palace in Xinlingfang! This saying? It means that when they are released from the palace, they will go to your house.
House! Every year, the saint releases some palace servants, or selects official families for them and sends them to be tutored by women..."
Amidst the evil smiles of Zhao Zhen and Li Duanyi, Ye An hid his face and walked away. This was originally an ordinary thing, but for Ye An, it became a beautiful thing that could only be imagined. Who doesn't know Qin Mumu's toughness?
And Ye An’s henpeck?
The fight between Ye An and Qin Mumu when they first met in Lan Kwai Fong has become an interesting anecdote in Tokyo. Anecdotally, Qin Mumu is the most beautiful woman in Tokyo and a well-deserved talent.
Not only does he have the beauty to conquer the country, his talent is not inferior to that of the literati, but he also has good martial arts skills. He is not inferior to men. Who doesn't know Ye An's ability? He killed the soldiers in Xiuyi Lane and fought against the Liao Dynasty in Jingfufang.
Although he was a warrior, he was still beaten by Qin Mumu and was unable to fight back. Although he couldn't bear to attack, it also showed how powerful Qin Mumu was.
The purpose of Liu E's search for Ye An was very simple. She asked him, the young minister of Sinong Temple, to promote the official windmills when promoting fine varieties. Li Duanyi naturally became a cooperating minister.
This was a very smart approach, and Ye An readily agreed. In his view, improving agricultural development in this era was a means of liberating the labor force.
Without agriculture as the foundation, the development of commerce is just a castle in the air. Only the prosperity of agriculture can lead to the prosperity of commerce. If someone said to give up agriculture and only focus on commerce, Ye An would be so angry that he would not even be able to find a home.
Chen Tong came in a hurry. After seeing Ye An, he shook his head slightly and showed bitterness, but then his face was full of admiration. Today he went to Tongjing Yintai Department, but when he came back he didn't bring anything, but brought
Big bad news.
Just as Ye An had guessed before, something happened in Huanzhou!
