The carriage sped forward.
Brother Zheng and Meng Tian soon arrived at the Song Manor.
However, because Song Yuan and the villagers were by the river in the distance, the two of them did not notice.
Brother Zheng also walked straight to the manor lord's manor. After all, in his fixed mindset, Song Yuan would not have woken up at this time.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the manor lord's manor, he only saw Ying Shiman, who was sunbathing while carrying Ziyi baby.
When Ying Shiman saw who it was, she quickly stood up to welcome him.
"Father, you're here? Ziyi, look, this is Grandpa."
As she spoke, Ying Shiman even grabbed the baby's little hand and waved it.
Brother Zheng was overjoyed and laughed out loud.
At this moment, Ying Shiman recalled what Song Yuan had instructed her to do yesterday, so she spoke up.
After Brother Zheng heard this, he said calmly," It looks like this kid is really going to sell wine. I will get Meng Tian to arrange the channels. When the time comes, you just need to send someone to inform him!"”
"Thank you, Father!" Ying Shiman said happily.”
Brother Zheng smiled faintly and asked,""Speaking of which, where's Song Yuan? Are you still sleeping? I even brought the deposit for the wine! Shiman, go and hand him over!"
Ying Shiman shook her head." Husband isn't here. He went to the fields early in the morning. Didn't you see him?"”
Brother Zheng frowned." I didn't see him at all. Did he go out?"”
Ying Shiman said with certainty," He said he went to make some waterwheel. He might be by the river. Father, you can go there to look for him."”
"What's a waterwheel?" Brother Zheng asked curiously.”
Ying Shiman shook her head." Husband didn't say anything. It should be a new invention."”
Brother Zheng nodded slightly, waved his hand, and left with Meng Tian.
...
By the river.
Song Yuan looked at the villagers who were assembling the waterwheel with a serious expression. At this moment, the waterwheel had already reached the final step.
He was exceptionally serious, occasionally opening his mouth to remind them of the essentials and things to take note of.
Ta!
As the wooden axis was clamped tightly, the entire water cart was assembled.
Song Yuan's eyes lit up with joy as he quickly said,"Hurry up! While there was no rush for water to flow, he immediately installed it on the dug ditch!”
Song Yuan's hurried tone made the villagers nervous. They quickly moved the water wheel towards the river.
When they reached the riverside, Song Yuan reminded them,""Pay attention to the waterwheel. You must make it stand firm!”
The villagers were all focused on installing the waterwheel.
At this moment.
"Song Yuan! What are you doing?"
Brother Zheng's loud voice scared all the villagers. Someone's hand slipped, and the waterwheel lost its center of gravity and began to topple.
This was not the most important thing. For some reason, the water suddenly became turbulent, and the villager whose hand slipped was directly washed down by the water!
For a moment, the waterwheel tilted, and a villager was washed away by the water. This caused all the villagers to panic. The waterwheel was about to collapse!
In the distance, Brother Zheng and Meng Tian also subconsciously became nervous.
"Damn it!"
Song Yuan cursed. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
He took a deep breath and rushed out.
Pa!
Song Yuan stood in the middle of the river with one hand holding the water wheel and the other holding the villagers who were washed away by the current.
At that moment, everyone felt their vision blur. Song Yuan seemed to have teleported and completed all the repairs!
The strength and speed that Song Yuan displayed stunned everyone on the spot.
Since when was Song Yuan (Manor Lord) so powerful?
Song Yuan didn't want to expose more of his strength, so he quickly pretended to be weak and said,"What are you waiting for? Come and help!”
Only then did the villagers react and help to lift the toppled waterwheel.
"Ji Tian, go and help!" Brother Zheng also said.”
Meng Tian rushed to the river and took the drenched villager from Song Yuan's hands. She pulled him to the shore.
Following that, Meng Tian went forward to help Song Yuan and the villagers install the waterwheel.
The installation was very smooth.
Everyone also came ashore from the river.
Brother Zheng looked at Song Yuan, who was inspecting the waterwheel, and said with some emotion,"You know martial arts? Why haven't I seen you use it before?"
Song Yuan explained," I don't usually have a place to use it. Besides, my kung fu is just mediocre. There's nothing much to use."。”
Brother Zheng laughed coldly. The speed and strength that Song Yuan had just displayed was considered one of the best in the army. How could he say that he was a three-legged cat?
However, he did not care too much.
No matter how strong Song Yuan's martial arts were, it was only his individual strength. Could he fight ten thousand people alone? Moreover, his Qin army had three million!
Instead, it was the waterwheel in front of him that attracted his attention.
"What is this?" he asked. The waterwheel that Manman mentioned?"
"This is a waterwheel, a tool that can automatically irrigate the fields!" Song Yuan nodded and explained.”
Brother Zheng raised his eyebrows.”
When Song Yuan heard this, he pulled out the shaft bolt and let the waterwheel turn.
He explained," Father-in-law, look. The water is now pushing the waterwheel, and the water flows into the bucket along the scraper of the waterwheel.”
" Then, it slowly rotated, and the water bucket toppled over. The water inside poured onto the bamboo pipe at the side, and then flowed into the field along the ditch.”
Listening to Song Yuan's explanation, Brother Zheng finally understood how powerful the waterwheel in front of him was.
This thing could actually irrigate the fields automatically without relying on manpower?
This was simply a perfect match when used together with Qu Yuanli!
The curved shaft plow could save manpower and create more wasteland, while the waterwheel could irrigate large areas of farmland.
If the two were used together, a farmer's productivity would increase by at least three times!
No, he had to learn this and spread it to Great Qin!
However, Brother Zheng was soon at a loss.
The waterwheel in front of him did not look like a curved plow. There was no reference, just a big man in front of him.
Even if he knew the principle, Brother Zheng could not understand the structure.
He looked at Meng Tian and realized that she was also frowning.
Suddenly, Brother Zheng was in a dilemma. Should he ask Song Yuan?
