Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 636 Someone Thinks About Drawings
Wang Ping'an was full of smiles, and he was also excited. He used to just make plans for everything, and didn't really preside over the implementation. The reason for excitement!
Wang Pingan cupped his hands at Jiang Shuiqing and said: "Master Jiang is too modest. This water truck is not the work of me alone, it is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. Didn't you also help assemble it? Otherwise, how could it be so smooth? So, credit It belongs to everyone, it belongs to everyone!"

Jiang Shuiqing felt a little embarrassed, this prince was comfortable in doing things, he didn't take credit or pride, and distributed the benefits to others. There were countless officials in the court, but it seemed that he had never seen one like him.With credit, whoever doesn't slap himself desperately, there is no reason to send it out, even if he changes himself, he can't be as generous as Wang Ping'an!
At this time, an official from the Ministry of Industry shouted: "It can be made bigger. Judging from the current situation, we can build a waterwheel that is a circle bigger. The current one is not big enough, and it is not big enough!"

Other officials also shouted: "That's right, it can be bigger, the water can be raised higher, no matter how high the river bank is and how low the river is, this kind of waterwheel can fully handle it!"

They are all professionals, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. Just by observing, they understand that the power of this waterwheel has not reached its limit, and it can be improved to play a greater role!

Wang Ping'an smiled all over his face. Of course he knew that this kind of waterwheel could be even better. Not to mention being used on the Xiaoliang River, even if it was used on the Yellow River, it could still exert great power!
The common people cheered and ran to the river. Seeing the speed and volume of the water, many people who were good at farm work shouted: "This water truck can irrigate three or four hundred acres of land, and it can also be more. Can do more!"

A water truck can irrigate three to four hundred acres of land. This is an astronomical figure in the era when manpower is the main watering method, and no one's strong labor can do this!This waterwheel can only be described by the word miracle, and there is no other word to express it clearly!
Wang Pingan laughed and said: "Okay, as long as it is useful, we are not in vain! Fellow folks, everyone has worked hard during this time. When the drawings for repairing the canal are drawn, everyone will start digging the canal and dig the canal to their own homes." Even if there is a drought this year, as long as the big and small rivers don't dry up, we can handle it and have a bumper harvest!"

The people cheered loudly, as if seeing a bumper harvest year, as long as water is used, as long as the land is not dry and cracked, the fields will be able to harvest, then there will be hope, their hard work is nothing, it is better than going to beg away from the main village Ten thousand times!
I don't know who started it, knelt down to Wang Ping'an, and called out Lord Qingtian, the common people knelt down together and kowtowed to Wang Ping'an, their gratitude was the most sincere, without any falsehood, everyone People have steelyards in their hearts, and officials are very clear in their hearts whether they are wholeheartedly serving the people!

Wang Pingan hurried to help, but there were too many people, how could he help them, so he had to cup his hands and fists, and kept saluting, telling everyone to get up quickly.

The people shouted and shouted, and suddenly called the Great Water God of Ping'an again, and the voices became louder and louder, in unison: "The Great Water God of Ping An, the Great Water God of Ping An!" hear!

Di Renjie was also very excited, and said: "Brother, in addition to Ping'an Little Miracle Doctor, you have another nickname, Ping'an Great Water God. This nickname is even more resounding. I believe that it will be well-known all over the world in the near future!"

Wang Ping'an was also very high-spirited, as if the world was in my chest, and nothing was difficult.He raised his hands high, signaled the people to get up, and said in his mouth: "What is this? This is just the beginning. It will take a long time to spread the waterwheel to the whole world!"

Jiang Shuiqing also said beside him: "It's not easy. Although this waterwheel is good, the cost is too high. It is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if this kind of waterwheel is used in the whole Qingzhou, it is very rare. It would cost tens of thousands!"

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter even if there are hundreds of thousands of pennies, good things are not afraid that no one will buy them!"

Jiang Shuiqing made a sound, he reached into his arms, took out the blueprint, and said, "But this waterwheel is not difficult to build, as long as you have the heart and money, anyone can build it, as long as you buy one It’s fine, you can’t take it apart, it’s hard to invent, but it’s much easier to imitate, maybe a master can imitate it, and it’s even better than the current one!”

The problem of copycats, not to mention that there is no patent law now, even if there are future generations with patent protection, it is extremely difficult to solve!

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Yes, I know, so I didn't plan to sell it for a long time, but I will sell it this year, and I won't sell it again in the future. Moreover, if we want to promote it vigorously, we must benefit the people all over the world, and the people are not allowed Imitation, how can it be done!"

Seeing that Jiang Shuiqing didn't understand, he smiled and said: "It's just that the first waterwheel is difficult to build, and the later ones will be easier, and the cost will not be so high, but for those who have never been in contact with it, it will take a long time to just rely on it." You can understand it, but if you want to understand the principle this year, and then imitate it, it is not much easier than going to heaven. So we just need to let businessmen from other places come to see the waterwheel, and then customize it. The construction will be handed over next year, only once It is enough to earn tens of thousands of guan, and Gyeongju will benefit, and the world will benefit!"

Jiang Shuiqing blinked and blinked, but said nothing.

Wang Pingan waited for the cheers of the common people to rest for a while, and then loudly told the common people to leave, spread the news, and then went home to prepare tools. The era of major canal repair in Gyeongju is coming soon!

The people were reluctant to leave, they still gathered by the river, watching the miracle, watching the Ping An Waterwheel!
Wang Pingan said with a smile to Jiang Shuiqing: "Master Jiang, you can return the blueprint to me, but please keep it a secret and don't leak the blueprint. Even if you want to tell others, you have to wait until next year to say so. Can you guarantee it?"

Jiang Shuiqing sighed, and returned the blueprint to Wang Pingan. He said, "Keep it secret? It's easy. How can I tell others about it if I have nothing to do? Besides, the people in our Ministry of Industry have always been strict with their mouths. Since the founding of the country, there has never been a worker. Which official of the Ministry has leaked the secret."

The Ministry of Industry is the place with the most professional knowledge, and the secrets are no less than those of the Ministry of Officials. Therefore, when officials enter the Ministry of Industry, they must first control their mouths. Strict mouths are their common characteristics, and even money cannot be bought from them. Get out the news.

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "That's good. I didn't mean to disbelieve you. I just reminded you a little, so as not to cause accidents and make everyone look bad."

"Don't worry about this, the prince. However, there is one thing that I don't understand, that is, the sale of the water tanker. I don't understand what the construction will be done next year?" Jiang Shuiqing knows nothing about business, and Wang Ping'an put it in a simple way. But he didn't understand.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "This is not easy to explain, let's talk about it later!"

But Di Renjie said: "Actually, it's not difficult to explain. Let me explain it to Mr. Jiang for the elder brother!" , saying that you lent me seeds and agricultural tools, and I will return your food in autumn."

Jiang Shuiqing nodded and said: "I understand that. You mean that the blueprint is the seed, and the waterwheel that is now built is a sample of grain? The prince borrowed money from the merchants, and then built the waterwheel for them? Is this a deposit? "

Di Renjie said with a smile: "That's right, let the merchants know that the waterwheel is a good thing, and they will naturally be willing to spend money to customize it. If we don't give them the waterwheel, they won't be able to imitate it. They can't imitate it just by researching it." What will come out, at least this year can’t be researched, and we will give them waterwheels next year...Brother, there is no need to give them waterwheels, just give them blueprints and let them build them themselves!”

Wang Pingan patted the blueprint in his arms, and said with a smile: "Yeah, just give them the blueprint, so why don't I make finished products for them? First, there aren't so many carpenters, and second, they can't transport it." , if it is a businessman from Chang'an, is it possible to transport some wooden buckets back from thousands of miles? It's impossible!"

Jiang Shuiqing sighed, and said: "If you say that, then the officials will understand. But in this way, this blueprint is very important, and it depends on it to draw money for Qingzhou!" As he spoke, he Turning around and leaving, he said: "Your Majesty, go and instruct those who have seen the blueprint not to leak it. Anyone who dares to speak out will be severely punished!"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Ping'an, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Brother, you have to keep this drawing well, don't lose it, in my opinion, it's best to keep it with Ouyang Li, so that it will be safe."

Wang Pingan chuckled, and said, "Of course I know this, but first, I'll make a fool of myself. If anyone dares to make an idea of ​​the blueprint, I will make him hurt all over."

He waved and said loudly, "Boss Du, come here."

Boss Du heard this and hurried over.Wang Pingan took out the blueprint, handed it to him in public, and said, "Keep it away, and don't let anyone steal it. Also, if there is something to improve, you must write it down on the blueprint in time."

Boss Du nodded quickly, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the villain will never lose the blueprint."

Wang Ping'an hummed, asked someone to lead the horse, got on the horse, took Boss Du and the others, and went back to the small village by the river.After entering the village, a group of dogs naturally greeted them with joy.

Wang Pingan distributed the money to the carpenters, and distributed some money to the villagers to thank them for their support in building the waterwheel. He also explained publicly that if someone came here to steal the blueprints, they must help guard them so that the blueprints would not be lost.The villagers naturally agreed.

Wang Pingan just went to Boss Du's house, and only called Boss Du to come in, closed the doors and windows, and didn't know what to say inside. After a long time, he came out with a flat expression and couldn't see anything. His expression was strange, as if Wang Pingan had said something important to him and he was trying to keep it a secret.

Wang Pingan gave a few words of encouragement, and then returned to Qingzhou City with a group of subordinates. The officials of the Ministry of Industry were still watching the water truck lift water, and did not go back with him.

By the Xiaoliang River, among the countless people, stood a group of people, all of them were dressed in rags, their faces were dirty, and they couldn't see their true colors clearly, they looked even worse than ordinary Gyeongju people. Poor, but I don't know which village it is from.

Among this group of people, there were two people with their hands behind their backs, watching the turning Ping'an waterwheel intently, with strange expressions on their faces, but also somewhat pleasantly surprised.

This group of people is the staff and capable people sent by King Wu Li Ke. Among them, one of the two backhands is Staff He, and the other is Staff Lu. But you have to pay the Montessori Brothers a huge amount of [-] yuan for drinking! You are a super taken advantage of!

They have already arrived in Gyeongju, and have been lurking in the city. Every day when Wang Pingan goes out, they follow him, and when Wang Pingan returns to the city, they follow him back to the city, but no matter how hard they work, they have never found out the secret of Wang Pingan and Li Zhi. , Wang Ping'an has hardly seen any suspicious characters except his own family members, and according to the analysis of the staff, even if there is something weird, it is impossible for Wang Ping'an's family members, so there is no need to pay attention to Wang's family members, but that Du Boss is quite suspicious.

They also know that Boss Du is building waterwheels, but they have no interest in these things. Whether the common people are dead or alive, whether they are full or hungry, is none of their business. They only care about whether they can get promoted and get rich. King's reuse.

But as time went by, they still couldn't get any useful information, and they were anxious. Today, a huge and strange water truck appeared by the Xiaoliang River. The nickname of the god of water.

This time there is no need to analyze, the powerful people in the Wu Palace understand it, after a long time, it is just such a broken water truck, this is the secret of Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi!

Staff member He whispered: "Brother Lu, if this waterwheel is popularized, Wang Ping'an's reputation will be even greater, and after it is introduced to Beijing, the prince's position will surely be strengthened. If the prince wants to take action, I'm afraid It's even harder!"

Staff Lu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Just now you also saw that Wang Ping'an attached great importance to that Carpenter Du, and even handed over the blueprint to him. Why don't we get the blueprint and hand it over to King Wu? What do you think?" ?”

Staff member He thought for a moment in a scholarly manner, and said: "Then let the prince present the blueprint to the emperor, saying that he invented it, and then we will warn Wang Ping'an as the confidant of King Wu and ask him to cooperate. Give the first merit to the prince, forgive Wang Pingan and dare not refuse, in this way, the prince will overshadow the prince!"

Staff Lu felt that this was a bad idea, but he couldn't think of a better one. He said, "Wang Ping'an may be ignorant. If he insists on it, refuses to let the credit go, and tells the prince about it, then the prince will Isn't it bad?"

"That's right!" Staff member He thought for a while, and said again: "Wang Ping'an can't ask for anything from the prince, so naturally he won't listen to the prince. This is asking for nothing. What if there is something to be jealous of? Grab him, don't Is everything easy to say!"

However, Staff Lu shook his head and said: "What's the clue? We came all the way here just to catch him, but after following him for so many days, he hasn't revealed any clues. If you said this, it means you didn't say anything. !"

Suddenly, an extremely stinky garlic smell rushed over. The two of them covered their noses and dodged to the side, only to see a big head stretched out, it was a capable man.

This capable man let out a sigh of relief at the two of them first, and then said: "It's too easy to make Wang Ping'an obedient, as long as his family is tied up and let him do it, he has to do whatever he wants!"
