Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 25 Interesting

Qin Tian saved Qin Qiong's son, and it was normal for Qin Qiong to thank him.

But even if it is a thank you, there is no need to recognize Qin Tian as a adopted son, unless Qin Qiong likes Qin Tian very much.

There is a big difference between acknowledgment and acknowledgment.

Acknowledgment is just a thank you, and maybe there will be no more intersections in the future, but after recognizing the adopted son, the relationship between Qin Tian and Qin Qiong will be very close from then on.

Being able to become the adopted son of Lord Yi is something that ordinary people can't even imagine.

The people at the scene praised Qin Tianlai more and more, and more people came to Tang Rong to wish her to be convinced. Although Tang Rong was proud, she did not feel any arrogance because her father-in-law became Qin Qiong's adopted son. In front of the elders, he is still very humble.

Here, Tang Xin gritted her teeth in hatred. After glaring at her maid, she turned her head and went back to her room. But at this time, everyone was congratulating Tang Rong, and no one noticed her at all.

Not long after, Tang Yu took Qin Tian's hand and came to the front from the back. The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and it was clear that Tang Yu was very satisfied with his son-in-law.

Although Tang Rong disliked Qin Tian in her heart, she was very affectionate at this time, as if the two were really a newlywed couple, envious of others.

The Liu family next to her was so angry that she was about to go crazy. If it wasn't for the face of the Tang family, she wished she could turn around and leave like her own daughter.

The entire Guining Banquet was very lively, and Qin Tian and Tang Rong were the absolute focus.

Gaoling County.

Li Shimin and a group of civil servants and generals are about to leave.

Qin Wang Li Shimin went out in person, coupled with the generals of civil servants and military generals like Changsun, it was not difficult at all to get the people of Gaoling County to irrigate their land.

These people can conquer the world and govern the country. What is a small Gaoling County?
However, when they left, there was also a problem that was difficult to solve.

"My lord, although the people in Gaoling County agreed to irrigate, you have seen the situation here just now. There is very little labor. Those who are a little stronger have been conscripted away. Most of the rest are old and weak women and children. They are irrigating, afraid that they will miss the last growth of the crops."

Changsun Wuji's face was serious, no one, even if the people agree to irrigate, what's the use?

Li Shimin was naturally aware of this situation, and after a long sigh, he said, "Alas, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. How about this? After everyone returns, they will mobilize their own slaves to help irrigate the fields."

Although it was a drop in the bucket, there was only so much they could do now.

And just as they were talking, a fast horse suddenly came running from a distance: "My lord, the irrigation matter can be easily settled..."

Everyone looked up and saw Qin Shubao shouting on horseback, and he came to him not long after. Li Shimin was a little curious and asked, "Mr. Yi, what did you just say?"

Qin Qiong couldn't wait to take out the blueprint of the automatic water wheel: "My lord, the irrigation matter has been solved, do you see this?"

Li Shimin took the drawing to look at it, and after reading it, he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Is this a waterwheel?"

The waterwheel had appeared before the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin was naturally aware of it. He didn't understand what Qin Qiong was doing with the drawings of the waterwheel.

"My lord, this is indeed a waterwheel, but it is an automatic waterwheel. It doesn't need manpower, it only needs wind or water power, and it can rotate freely. As long as it is mass-produced, even without a lot of labor, it can solve the irrigation problem."

Qin Qiong spoke excitedly, but Cheng Yaojin curled his lips and said, "Mr. Yi, I, Old Cheng, have never seen a waterwheel. It doesn't require manpower. You say it can be turned without people, who are you lying to?" Woolen cloth?"

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao have a good relationship, so Cheng Yaojin has something to say, and at this time, Chai Shao said: "Lu Guogong, Yi Guogong will not talk nonsense, since he said it is possible, it must be possible .”

After speaking, everyone looked at Qin Shubao, who smiled and said, "It is indeed feasible, I have seen it with my own eyes, this automatic water wheel can continuously pump water to the roof, and then flow down from the roof, in this way , can lower the indoor temperature, and it’s like going to a summer resort in summer.”

Hearing Qin Shubao's narration, the eyes of the crowd were full of curiosity and disbelief. Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "It's really interesting to be able to circulate the water to reduce the indoor temperature. I don't know what to do." Where did the Duke see it from?"

Having received Li Shimin's praise, Qin Shubao felt a little proud, and said, "Return to the prince, I saw it from the adopted son of the last general, Qin Tian."

When these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

"I said, Lao Qin, when did you have a adopted son? I remember that you are only Qin Huaiyu, right?" Yu Chigong was impatient, and immediately asked. Others also looked at Qin Shubao. They have been friends for many years. It's really never heard that Qin Shubao has a adopted son.

Qin Shubao smiled: "I just met him, his name is Qin Tian, ​​he is Huaiyu's savior, I was going to thank you today, I never thought I would find the self-rain house in his manor, I saw that the automatic water wheel can automatically Pumping water, I thought it could be used to irrigate the fields, so I hurried back."

Hearing that Qin Shubao recognized Qin Huaiyu's benefactor as his adopted son, everyone didn't think it was a big deal. After all, with Qin Shubao's affectionate character, it was normal for him to do such a thing.

It's just that they didn't expect that the adopted son Qin Shubao recognized had the ability to invent an automatic water wheel.

"My lord, if what Yi Guogong said is true, this automatic water wheel can really rotate by itself to irrigate, then as long as it is produced in large quantities, it will not be difficult to irrigate crops no matter how dry the weather is in the future. In my opinion, you may as well Try it out in Gaoyang County, and if it works, roll it out across the country immediately."

Changsun Wuji was worried about the lack of manpower just now, and now Qin Shubao brought the blueprint of the automatic waterwheel, although Changsun Wuji thought it was a bit strange and unbelievable, he quickly brought it up, because if it is really feasible, it is absolutely necessary for Datang It is a great way to save manpower.

The manpower is saved, and many of the remaining people can do other things. This will benefit all people and benefit the future. ,

Changsun Wuji brought the topic back, and Qin Shubao immediately agreed: "My lord, this automatic water wheel is definitely feasible. If there is a severe drought today, we'd better put it into irrigation as soon as possible."

Li Shimin believed in Qin Shubao, since Qin Shubao had seen it with his own eyes, it would be no worse, he nodded: "I will return to Beijing immediately to meet the Holy One, and after I get the order, I will immediately summon craftsmen to produce and test it in Gaoling County first. "

After saying that, Li Shimin flew on his horse, and all the officials and generals did not hesitate, and they rushed to Chang'an City after him.
