"As long as there is a terrain, or even artificially raise the water tank and pump the water from below. Oh, with wind power and manpower to drive the waterwheel to pump the water up, the desert can become mulberry fields."
A Winged Knight came over and gently touched the drawing with tears in his eyes.
His family used to live in the north of the Guannei Road. There was sand everywhere. Now, they grew watermelons and ginger and shipped them to the capital to sell.
His family had a good life, but what about his neighbors?
His neighbors' income was increasing, but it was far from his family's.
As for the bamboo, it was nothing more than a transportation problem. It turned out that there was drip irrigation technology in the world. Dongzhu …
"There is no need to pump. The pressure well can be extended to pump water. One atmosphere of pressure every ten meters. It can be solved with a long arm lever.
If you think that the pressure of using your hands is too high, convert it to a pedal shaft connecting rod, and use the pedal instead of the arm up and down.
I'll draw a picture. This thing is simple. It can be threshed by pedaling. The power multiplied by the power is equal to the resistance multiplied by the main arm.
The pulley block of the hand gourd can be converted. It's not difficult. "
Li Yi said as he drew again. Didn't the desert have a well? Build a high water tower platform and then connect it with drip irrigation technology.
As long as the cost of manpower was higher than the output of the local crops under normal conditions, it was a victory.
"Hard and soft, I can't compare." Wang Wei saluted.
"The Tang dynasty is lucky." Meng Haoran saluted.
"Do you want to go to the next place?" Zhangsun Xin returned to being calm. He had suffered too much because of Li Yi, so he knew how to take advantage of the situation.
As for what Li Yi came up with, it was enough to be surprised.
"Let's go!" Li Yi finished drawing some more drawings and threw them to Qing Song. He skipped forward on the mountain road.
"Husband, let's go too. We'll go back to the cruiser at night. I'll show you what kind of mirror to wear." The woman who raised bees walked with her husband.
"We met Inspector Zhangsun. Our family's good days are coming. I'll earn you a silver bracelet to wear on your right hand. "The man was also very happy and said to his wife.
"There's no need to save. My benefit is a bracelet, a silver bracelet that weighs one coin." Zhangsun Xin couldn't bear to see this now.
He had a wife, a concubine, and a child. Previously, he had misunderstood them as a married couple. After becoming rich, he had to pursue fame.
"Silver is not as malleable as gold. You need two coins."
Li Yi, who was jumping, suddenly turned around when he jumped up. He threw down a sentence and turned back again.
"Three cents." Zhangsun Xin argued, "I'll give you two three-qian silver bracelets. Ask the craftsmen from the Li Family Zhuangzi to make them. They won't pay for the craftsmen."
"Inspector Zhangsun, let me kowtow to you." The man was about to kneel when he heard that.
"F * ck, hurry up and stand up straight. Why don't you knock on Li Yi?"
Zhangsun Xin slid away from the front and grabbed the man's clothes from the side.
"Li Dongzhu won't do. They say it will shorten my lifespan. How can I tell Li Dongzhu to have a short lifespan?" The man spoke the truth.
"Is it good for you if I die? Do you believe that I will poison you for lunch later? You have bad eyesight. "
Zhangsun Xin began to threaten him angrily.
It was noon. This piece of land was planted with … rice!
Li Yi was stunned. He couldn't pay attention to such details in Zhuangzi.
How could rice be planted here? Water seeped into the ground. Water seeped into the fertilizer.
Who had seen rice planted in a sandy land? Was this a joke?
"Zhangsun Xin, tell me, what is this?"
Li Yi looked at the many people who were pumping water to maintain the cover of the rice field. He directly called Zhangsun Xin by her name.
"The alkali here is big. It has to be soaked in water. Below is a small tributary of the Ba River. It flows in.
Can I soak in other places? Even if the rice yield is reduced, I will soak in the salt and alkali in the field.
Terraced fields, step by step. The rice grows okay. If there are good grains, I will keep them and plant them next year. "
Zhangsun Xin felt wronged. The alkali soil happened to be a big gentle slope. I worked very hard.
"Alkali soil?" Li Yi looked at the people around him who were taking turns to pump four wells.
There were also two drilling platforms drilling wells. The investment was not small.
The women who were taking turns to rest were using hemp to weave sacks and baskets.
The water outlet of the rice field was blocked. Obviously, they were waiting for the water level to rise before draining it down and finally flowing into the river.
"Fortunately, it is not a low-lying place. It is difficult to drain water in a low-lying place. We need to dig a lower drainage channel." Zhangsun Xin seemed to have specially studied it.
"Is the food okay? Is it the free black bread made with 80% flour? "Li Yi was concerned about the health of the workers.
"The black bread is now exported. If you buy a lot, I will give you the cost price. The money is 80% flour.
If the outsiders have nothing to eat, I will give them all the black bread.
I have no choice. From the first day I pretended to be a good person, I can only keep pretending.
My good reputation benefits me, but it also becomes a shackle. Just like you, do you dare to harm the people of the Tang dynasty? "
Zhangsun Xin said something philosophical and looked into the distance.
"I am different from you. You harmed the people and lost your reputation. I … these hemp sacks and baskets, you … you didn't sell them to the mining area, did you?"
Li Yi suddenly thought of a situation. Where the most hemp sacks and baskets were consumed? The mining area where he cooperated with Yu Huaide.
"You get 70% and I get 30%. 10 coins a day. Do you know what it means before you came to the Li Family Zhuangzi?
At that time, husked wheat cost 15 coins. Now, grain is even cheaper.
That is the capital government. If it was a distant state capital, countless people would break their heads to fight for 5 coins a day.
Your captives did not compensate. They live in houses and burn coal without spending money. Do you want to reduce their wages by 2 coins? "
Zhangsun Xin exposed his purpose. Li Yi was in charge of the tools, fertilizers, and seeds. He paid for them.
"What did they eat for lunch today?" Li Yi changed the topic.
"Stew, chicken rack, wholesale chicken rack from Wang Xing. You gave the idea. Wang Xing's business is not small now."
Zhangsun Xin picked up a bundle of brambles and placed it next to a woman. There were no more brambles around the woman.
He clapped his hands: "If there are any vegetables in the field, just stew them together with the chicken rack. Let's stew the chicken rack first and put the vegetables last. There is meat on the chicken rack sold by Wang Xing."
"It is best to stir-fry the chicken rack first." Li Yi suggested.
"It is stir-frying first. Use oil to stir-fry the vegetables. There is oil in every bowl. The staple food is steamed buns and rice. You can eat as much as you want. Don't use oil pancakes. Do you want to have lunch here? "
Zhangsun Xin said as he touched his stomach. He was hungry when he walked.
"I don't want to eat. Let's go back to the ship." Li Yi refused. Why should I eat chicken stew when there is good food?
"When there are potatoes in the future, chicken stew will become a classic. Remember not to put too many onions. It will hurt people. Send a batch of bamboo poles over. "Li Yi added.
Potatoes were good food. They could be used to stew anything. If there is no staple food, add more potatoes and it will be eaten as a staple food.
"Go find the bamboo poles." Zhangsun Xin ordered his men.
