Zhao Tian sat in front of the table and listened to the two people's debate. He was very satisfied.
If his subordinates could brainstorm like this, it would also save him some effort.
Of course, it was better to let him handle this matter.
"Twenty feet?"
Zhao Tian muttered to himself.
In the Qin Dynasty, one foot was 23.1 centimeters, one inch was 2.31 centimeters, and one zhang was 231 centimeters.
These twenty feet were at least four meters. In fact, the river water might have dropped by about five meters.
Fortunately, it was a big river. Otherwise, it would have dried up long ago.
"What if you just dig a small ditch, for example, about a foot or so?”
Cao Can and Xiao He were still arguing when Zhao Tian suddenly spoke.
the two of them were stunned
One inch?
Was that still a ditch?
"Young Master, a one-inch…ditch, this…this is useless. For the entire county, if we dig a one-inch ditch, it would indeed only take two to three days to complete, but it would not be able to draw water at all.”
"I'm afraid it will make the farmers even more violent.”
Xiao He felt bitter.
The Thirteenth Young Master was very wise previously. Why couldn't he even discover such a simple problem?
However, it was understandable. After all, the one month that the Thirteenth Young Master had promised the Emperor was too tight. It was normal for the Thirteenth Young Master to be anxious and lose control.
"Then what if I have a way to divert water from the big river to this small ditch?”
Cao Can and Xiao He looked at each other. They did not expect Zhao Tian to ask such a question.
The two of them immediately fell into deep thought.
"If Young Master really has such a method, then this matter is feasible, but…this is too difficult.”Xiao He said helplessly, as if a clever housewife couldn't cook a meal without rice.
Zhao Tian smiled faintly. This was the limitation of this group of people.
"Look at this thing. Is it useful?”
Heavenly General Zhao brought over a roll of silk.
Cao Can and the other two curiously went up to take a look.
A huge object was drawn on the silk.
Gradually, their eyes lit up.
"This is called a waterwheel, also known as a crown carriage. The carriage is fifty feet tall, and it is supported by a twenty-four-foot-long, two-foot-wide wheel.”
"At the top of each spoke is a scraper and bucket.”
"Scrape the water and fill the bucket with water."
"The river water rushed over, and with the help of the water, the spokes slowly rotated. One by one, the water buckets were filled with river water and raised up step by step.”
"At that time, I can pour the water in this bucket into the ditch.”
Zhao Tian said calmly.
Although he didn't study agriculture, he had previously obtained the Proficiency in Agriculture. It was easy for him to create these things!
If not for the limitations of the era, Zhao Tian could have come up with something even more advanced.
Forget it, take it slow, lest I scare you all to death!
Hearing Zhao Tian's words, Xiao He and Cao Can's bodies trembled.
He was excited.
Feasible!
This was too feasible!
They knew very well that if they had this waterwheel, this drought would be easily resolved.
"Chiseling wood as a machine, the back is heavy and the front is light.”Xiao He murmured softly.
He immediately kowtowed to Zhao Tian.
"Young master is a great talent, young master is a great talent. If such a crown carriage is popularized, it will save a lot of farmers 'effort, and farmers will have more time to do other things.”
"Young Master, you will become a god in the hearts of all farmers!”
Xiao He said excitedly.
Cao Can was speechless.
F * ck!
This Xiao fellow had beaten him to it.
My heart is so sour!
However, Cao Can was truly impressed. He was even more certain that following such a young master would be the glory of his life.
"No wonder Young Master dared to guarantee to His Majesty that he would complete the drought treatment within a month.”
Cao Can immediately said.
Zhao Tian ignored the flattery of the two.
"Every once in a while, a water storage pond will be built and water will be drawn from the pond to other places. This way, even if there is a drought, the other water storage ponds can temporarily supply water.”
" Moreover, water is like gold to us now. Ordinary irrigation methods not only waste farmers 'labor time, but also cause unnecessary waste of water.”
As he spoke, Zhao Tian handed a roll of silk with the method of drip irrigation to Xiao He.
Looking at the two rolls of silk in his hands, Xiao He's hands were trembling.
"Young Master, with these two magic weapons, the drought in Pei County will be resolved within a month. This is a great thing for the world. I suggest that after we succeed in Pei County, you submit these two methods to His Majesty and let them spread throughout the world.”
"This way, Great Qin's current situation will be somewhat alleviated.”
It had to be said that Xiao He was indeed prime minister material.
Just from these two events, the entire situation in Great Qin could be seen.
