Chapter 33 Water Comes From It!

"Passing the fields?"

Hearing Xi Zhicai's response, Cao Cao couldn't help but froze for a moment.

It was only then that he remembered that although he appointed Xi Yu as the chief clerk, he did not cancel the other party's duty as the captain of Tuntian.

The other party is indeed in charge of the field affairs right now.

However, after more than a year of getting to know Xi Yu, Cao Cao also knows the nature of the other party to some extent.

Apart from not liking the military position, Xi Yu is usually somewhat lazy.

Sometimes, it's even worse than Xi Zhicai.

After the farming is over, other people can rush back in two or three days, and this guy can go back for more than half a month on the road.

Of course, Xi Yu must have no problem doing things.

"Fengyi went to inspect the fields?" Cao Cao grinned: "This is really curious!"

"Feng Yi said that as the captain of the field, he naturally wanted to ensure that the food and grass were safe. During this period of drought, he also said to let the water come in to irrigate the fields!"

Xi Zhicai casually boasted about his younger brother.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Cao Cao, but Xun Yu who was beside him also raised their heads.

Let the water run?Water the fields!
How could the water come by itself?
Seeing the expressions of the two, Xi Zhicai also shook his head: "Feng Yi said so, I don't know what he is doing."

He spread his hands, but Cao Cao stood up immediately when he heard this.

"Ah, the hot weather makes people feel flustered, why don't we go and see what Feng Yi is doing?"

Right now Cao Cao has no intention of dealing with government affairs at all.

If there is a problem with food and grass, the conquest of Xuzhou may be difficult.

However, what Tao Qian did before had aroused the anger of Cao Cao and others, and Xuzhou must be conquered.

"it is good!"

Xun Yu beside him also nodded.

During this period of time, as he started to follow Xi Zhicai and Xi Yu to practice Wu Qin Xi, his body and bones have improved a lot.

However, in such hot and dry weather, when dealing with government affairs, it is natural for people to be upset.

It's not bad to go out to get some fresh air right now.

In the afternoon, the three of them quickly found Xi Yu who was wandering in the fields outside Changyi city.

At this time, Xi Yu was leading Dian Wei to walk between the riversides.

Due to the recent drought, even the river has become a little shallower.

It is somewhat laborious to open a canal to divert water for irrigation, but it would be a good choice if the water from the mountain can be diverted.

Thinking of this, Xi Yu already paid attention in his heart.

Xi Yu had inspected the entire territory of Yanzhou before, but he didn't find anything like a waterwheel. Nowadays, the fields are irrigated by opening canals to divert water.

However, due to the severe drought and the decline of the river, the difficulty of opening canals to divert water has increased a lot.

If the water from the mountains can be used, it can greatly alleviate the drought in the fields.

"What is Fengyi thinking?"

When Xi Yu was thinking about how to build a waterwheel, the three of Cao Cao had already appeared beside Xi Yu.

Seeing the other party bowed his head in thought, Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

"I'm thinking, make a water diversion thing to solve the trouble of irrigating fertile fields!"

He replied to Cao Cao that the structure of the waterwheel was actually not troublesome. He just thought about it for a while, and he understood it.

Now when Cao Cao asked a question, he responded casually.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu couldn't help being a little curious when they heard that Xi Yu was indeed the same as what Xi Zhicai said before.

"How to draw water?"

"Where do you get the water?"

The two spoke at the same time, with different questions.

Xi Yu looked at the two of them each: "Build utensils and draw water from the mountain stream!"

Waterwheels can also be built by the river, but this is limited to fields near the river.

There are also some fields in Yanzhou that are a little far from the river, so these fields cannot be irrigated by the river.

However, these fields are more or less not far from the mountains of Yanzhou, so it is no problem to divert water from the mountain stream.

"Utensil, what utensil?"

Cao Cao was full of doubts, what could lead the water to the fields?

It was hard for him to imagine that Xun Yu was also a little confused on the sidelines.

Xi Yu didn't explain carefully to the two of them.

After things like the waterwheel were built, the two of them could understand it after seeing it.

"My lord, I already have a draft in my heart. I'll go back and recruit craftsmen first. I can't make this thing alone!"

To draw the water from the mountain stream, a large waterwheel must be built.

Among them, it is natural to dig a ditch down from the mountain, and this project is not troublesome.

During this period of time, the soldiers and civilians in Yanzhou have done a lot of things like opening canals.

Just recruit people.

As for the waterwheel, it is natural that some craftsmen are needed to help.

Quyuanli before was simple, he could do it by himself, but if he built a large waterwheel, it would take a lot of time to do it by himself.

Hearing that Xi Yu wanted to recruit craftsmen, Cao Cao subconsciously nodded.

"Since Fengyi has a heart for drafts, he can recruit craftsmen in my name!"

Cao Cao naturally believed in Xi Yu very much.

Whether it's Qu Yuanli or Ma Ma's three-piece suit, these things are all created by Xie Yu.

Cao Cao is also looking forward to the utensils that can draw water.

If such a thing can really be made, there will be no more hidden dangers in the fields of the entire Yanzhou.

"So, I am also somewhat looking forward to what Fengyi will create!"

Xun Yu also laughed.

Xi Yu nodded, turned around and planned to take Dian Wei back to the city.

At this time, Cao Cao seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly yelled at Xi Yu.

"Feng Yi, there is something I forgot to tell you!"

"I planned to go to the imperial court to show your merits, but our envoys were intercepted, and I didn't see the emperor at all!"

Cao Cao didn't expect that Li Jue and Guo Si were so courageous that they even rejected the memorial he played!
When such a situation happened, he somewhat apologized to Xi Yu.

Hearing this, Xi Yu didn't care.

No wonder, Cao Cao's memorial has been played for two months, but there is no news at all, and the path of love is blocked!

However, this matter is nothing.

"Oh, it's nothing, my lord, don't worry about it!"

Xi Yu shook his head, he didn't care about the performance of the court.

However, Cao Cao wants to cater to the emperor in the future, but now he can't even play a memorial, which is a trouble.

If he remembers correctly, soon there will be a gap between Li Jue and Guo Si. At that time, the two parties will make trouble, and it will be Cao Cao's time to cater to the emperor.

However, if the emperor doesn't know who Cao Cao is, there may be some problems if he wants to cater to the emperor!
Historically, when Emperor Xian of the Han fled to Luoyang, he naturally knew about Cao Cao, and it was he who ordered Cao Cao to meet him, so that Cao Cao could meet the emperor.

As for how the emperor knew Cao Cao well during this period, Cao Cao must have had a lot of sense of existence.
