Chapter 198: Thriving Development

With the emperor's tolerance and the cooperation of the court officials, the task of rectifying the situation was accomplished very smoothly.

The system happily announced that the mission was accomplished and the bronze box would be delivered soon.

Yuanruan was also very happy, and suddenly asked: [How did the reward appear this time? Did it come from my warehouse again? ]

System: [No. But in order to prevent Ah Ruan's contribution from being overshadowed, so... hehe, it still has something to do with you. I wrote this. 'In order to thank the young national teacher for curing the family's illness during the spring festival prayer, a family in the southwest will compile the experience of breeding silkworms that has been passed down for three generations into a book and give it all to you, Ah Ruan.']

Yuan Ruan: [Ah? If my brother sends someone to look for it, wouldn’t they find it…]

System: [There is no address on the letter. An unknown hero.]

Yuanruan: [6]

…

Yuanruan happily snuggled up to the emperor, yawned, and was carried away by the prince.

The emperor looked at the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue and other people related to irrigation and agriculture.

He said: "The pros and cons of agricultural tools have just been discussed by all of you. Please write a memorial to me as soon as possible."

The court officials all saluted and said, "Yes."

The emperor nodded slightly, turned and left.

The Minister of Industry took the design drawing of the "Water-Powered Spinning Machine" that Cheng Weining had just handed to him, and patted Cheng on the shoulder with a smile: "Sir Cheng, see you at the Ministry of Industry later. I believe in you. Come on!"

The Minister of Revenue took out his notes and handed them to Cheng Weining, saying earnestly: "Sir Cheng, the future is long, but it will be bright in the end. Come on!"

The Northwest officials did not forget to pass tea on the side: "Sir, I can only stay with you. The Northwest is suffering! We don't ask for the construction of karez immediately, but we should also think of ways to irrigate our farmland in the Northwest. Sir Cheng, come on!"

Cheng Weining: …

He felt like he was drowning in the "oil".

Cheng Weining was invited to the construction site of the Ministry of Industry's warehouse. Looking at the two "guardians" on his left and right, he pinched his brows and began to work hard to make the water-turning car series.

With a concrete idea in mind, Cheng Weining made improvements very quickly.

Over a few days, he came up with other versions, such as the foot-treading, ox-turning and other water-turning versions. As for the wind-turning version that was most suitable for the northwest, Cheng Weining took the longest time to design and verify it. However, under the temptation to go home, he finally figured it out after working all night.

More than 20 days later, Xia's craftsmen rushed to county officials in different regions with their tasks.

Among them, the craftsmen in charge of the Northwest system ran the fastest and were treated the best along the way, because there were several officials from the Northwest system who also followed them.

When they arrived in the northwest and announced their decree, it caused a sensation in the officialdom.

All the Northwestern officials who were able to make it came, and with full disbelief, they watched the Footsteps, Wind Turns and other vehicles overturn on the flat ground and rise from the ground in the Dafeng River area.

As they watched the water being transported out in handfuls, the Northwestern officials covered their chests in unison.

They held on tightly to their companions from the capital and pointed at the wind-powered water wheel: "How long can this big thing keep running? How to maintain it? How often do the fan and gears on it need to be replaced?"

Colleagues from the capital explained this in detail: "As long as the wind power is not broken and the water is not dry, it can keep turning. However, there is little water in our northwest, so you should be careful. As for maintenance, Lord Cheng did not give a specific number. He said that this is a phased test product and he cannot guarantee its effectiveness."

"It's already very good!" The other officials did not complain when they heard this and were all very excited.

At this time, the official with good connections suddenly hit the official in the capital and said, "You are really good! You have only been transferred to the capital for a short time, but you have successfully persuaded Mr. Cheng."

The official in the capital shook his head: "It's not my persuasion that convinced him, it's mainly because of the power of the imperial teacher. Also, Lord Cheng wanted to prevent the princess from hurting her hands while weaving cloth..." Having said this, the man explained the reason for the birth of the water-powered spinning wheel.

Officials of the Northwest Faction: …

The official added, "If he hadn't been so eager to protect the pregnant princess, I'm afraid the car wouldn't have come out so quickly."

The officials of the Northwest Faction were choked again. They did not understand this kind of love, but after all, they had benefited from Cheng Weining, so they could only utter one sentence: "The Imperial Master is right. Master Cheng is a great love thinker."

They tacitly stopped talking about Cheng Weining, took the drawings, and assigned the craftsmen.

Then the officials rushed to their own areas and summoned local farmers to work on building the canal.

It was the busy autumn harvest season, and the farmers were not very happy at first. But when they learned that these things could automatically help irrigate the farmland, they were all amazed.

One by one, we strive to register:

"Oh my God! What a great joy this is. Sir, I'm going!"

"My Lord, I'm going too!"

"Sir! All five of my sons have signed up."

…

The official in charge of registration looked at the old woman in front of him and couldn't help but say, "You'd better keep a son to help with the autumn harvest and don't let the grain rot in the fields."

"It's okay. Our family doesn't have a lot of land. I worked alone to harvest them before they grew up. Now I have my daughter-in-law and grandson to help." The old woman patted her chest and continued with full energy, "Water is our life. If we don't contribute now, will we be left with food in the future? Sir, we must do our best!"

As soon as these words came out, other ordinary people also raised their hands:

"My eight-year-old son wants to join, too."

"My 60-year-old father will also participate."

"My 80-year-old grandmother is petitioning to participate!"

…

The last one made the recorder stagger and refuse with a twitching mouth.

…

Ten days later, the emperor also received a letter from the State of Chen.

They stated that the cooperation with the Xiongnu was all a misunderstanding, condemned the emperor for occupying the land of the Chen State, and said that they had sent an envoy.

It is estimated that we will arrive at Daxia Capital within three days.
