When Tang Jian and his group arrived in Xipo Village, Luo Yong was leading a few people to set up water trucks by the ditch at the entrance of the village.

Because I really didn't want to go outside to wash clothes every day and be watched, I didn't want to spend so much effort to lift water. Luo Sanlang thought about it and then thought about it on the water wheel.

He wanted to set up a barrel truck outside the entrance of the village, use the water flow to drive the entire water truck to rotate, transport the clean water to the small earth slope next to his house, and then build a water tower on it, pull a pipe from the water tower to the Luo family yard, so that he can wash clothes in his own yard in the future.

In the Luo family's yard, even the laundry pool has been repaired now. A half-person-high pool was built against the courtyard wall. He no longer has to squat down to wash clothes in the future.

The water tower is also more convenient. Anyway, just their own family’s water use, this water tower doesn’t need to be built particularly large. It’s enough to use earth cement to build a square reservoir on the small earth mountain next to his house. In order to avoid any accidents in some children in the village playing there, the entire reservoir is only two feet deep, and the height of the actual water storage in the future should be only one foot.

There are also wooden boards on the reservoir, leaving only a foot square opening at the outlet and inlet.

In addition, in this section of the ditch below this small earth mountain, they also made a small transformation, lifting upstream, digging downstream, and forming a drop of about two feet high at the position where the water truck is set up. When the clear water in the ditch flows there, a small waterfall is formed.

Because this is just a small ditch, it is difficult to push a water truck according to the previous water flow speed and water volume. Even now, Luo Yong and others can only choose the lightest wood. There are very few fixed water barrels on the water truck. In addition, some wood boards need to be added to collect water power.

Overall, this is a very lightweight and simple water truck, which is mounted on the inside of a cement road and does not take up much space.

It is such a very simple and lightweight water truck that no one has seen in this era. After figuring out its operating principle, everyone said it was strange.

When Tang Jian and his group came over, many villagers in Xipo Village and those who came here to do wholesale classes had already surrounded the water truck for half a day.

There are also water trucks in this era, but basically it is a keel water truck, which is what later generations call it. The one they made at this time is called a cylindrical car. From a cylindrical car to a cylindrical car, this is a cross-age progress.

"How to draw water from this wooden tube? Why is it a bit crooked?" Some smart craftsmen can understand the operating principle by just looking at the water truck and thinking about it yourself, but some people don't understand that they need to solve their problems.

"I will turn the water truck up and you will understand it when you look at it." At this time, the water truck was installed, and Luo stretched out his hand and turned it on the big wooden wheel twice.

Everyone saw that the big water truck slowly rotated under Luo Sanlang's push. The small wooden tubes fixed obliquely outside the water truck were all filled with half a barrel of clear water when they just came out of the water. During the process of slowly climbing up, they always faced their mouths up. When they climbed through the highest point and started walking down, the openings of the wooden tubes became downward, and the water in the wooden tubes naturally poured out. At the place where the clear water was poured out, a wooden trough was set up for water collection.

Everyone stared at the location of the wooden trough, and saw a bamboo tube in front passing by, and a bamboo tube behind followed again. The water poured into the wooden trough one after another, and the other end of the wooden trough was connected to the water tower on the earth slope.

Luo Yong no longer turned the water wheel with his hands. Under the push of the water flow, the water wheel was still turning slowly, drawing clean water from the ditch below to the high soil slope little by little.

Seeing the speed of drawing water, it would not take a long time to fill the small water tower, so Luo Yong said: "You have to open a drainage ditch in the water tower. After filling it, you can let the excess water flow back into the ditch."

"The position of the wooden groove above is a bit uneven, so I'll adjust it later." Heng Yu was here at this time.

Heng Yu was very happy to be involved in the production of this water wheel. Although when he heard that his master didn't want to wash clothes with women at the ditch and was laughed at, he still felt that his teenage master was really unreliable.

At this time, when I looked at the craftsmen who came from Chang'an City, they all looked admiring Luo Yong. Old Man Hengyu couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe his master had already considered these things early in the morning.

It’s all that he is too stupid, so he fails to understand the master’s intention.

In the days that followed, Tang Jian and the others were very busy. Because Tang Jian, the person appointed by the emperor, was responsible for supervising the production and transportation of threshing machines, Luo Yong was so happy that he became the manager of the hand-off.

Since the introduction of Qingshui in their yard, Luo Sanlang can finally wash clothes in his yard with ease and pleasure, and no longer have to worry about people watching.

The big water truck behind his yard was running all day long, and the sound of clear water pouring out of the wooden barrel day and night can be heard.

Sometimes some villagers wash clothes and vegetables upstream of the ditch. In order to prevent sewage from being drawn to the water tower on Luosanjia slope, they use a wooden stick to block the water truck and remove it after washing.

Later, Luo Yong discovered that the water that the water truck was collected in one night was enough for the family to use, so he simply stopped the water truck during the day and opened it in the evening and dusk.

The water pipe used to divert water from the water tower to the Luo family yard is a sheepskin water pipe sewn by Feng Pijiang and his son. Feng Pijiang did the work carefully, and the water pipe itself is not very long, even if it leaks slightly, it will not affect the use.

If Eucommia ulmoides are used as water pipes, it is naturally better. Although Eucommia ulmoides are hard rubber rather than soft rubber, they cannot make wheel inner tubes and rubber gloves, there is still no problem in making water pipes, but Luo is reluctant to let go.

The total amount of Eucommia ulmoides extracted from Eucommia leaves collected last year is not much, and now it has been used. Luo Yong is reluctant to make the remaining one now, and he plans to use them all in the making of canned bottles and ink bottles.

Because there are no soles, Feng Pijiang and his son have stopped making boots recently. They work on leather materials all day long to prepare for boot making work this autumn and winter.

"Not many of them are here?" That morning, Qiao Junlin took a ball of dirty clothes to the Luo family yard to wash.

He didn't want to wash clothes by the ditch and be watched. A few days ago, after Luo successfully used water diversion, he told him that if there were any dirty clothes, he could use them to wash them. Then Qiao Junlin came.

"Everyone is on the sheep's house." Luo Yong said. Si Niang, a business fan, has been watching people and doing business in the sheep's house all day. From time to time, she can talk about business scriptures to Luo Yong's disciples. Many of them learn and sell from Luo Yong's side, which saves a lot of trouble for Luo Yong.

Now the sheep house is also lively. Si Niang took Liulang and Qi Niangwu to go out to play with them, and Luo Yong was not worried.

"I want to make pancakes, do you eat them?" Luo Yong was bringing a bowl of maltose water into the flour.

"It's just when, you're not afraid of becoming fat." At this time, people are focused on a fairy-like and slender body, and the kind of fat as beauty has not yet become popular.

"Where will you get fat? You are growing." It's rare that you are a little free these days. Luo Yong wanted to eat more and sleep more to make up for it. He is not afraid of getting fat. If you want to lose weight in the future, you can always lose weight. The most important thing is your height.

Qiao Junlin immersed the clothes in his hand into the laundry pool, turned to look at Luo Yong's small body, and said nothing.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Luo Xiao'er sensitively captured the smile that flashed in the other person's eyes.

"What?" Qiao Junlin asked him.

"Are you laughing at me just now? " Xiaoying was pretending to be shorter than you?" Luo Yong sat on the stool while shaking his legs while mixing the batter: "I tell you that growing taller things vary from person to person. Some people grow early and some people grow late. My mother is not short..."

Qiao Junlin stood there while washing clothes and listening to him chatting, saying all the reasons for coming from behind. Qiao Junlin wanted to say that even if he was taller than him, it would be meaningless.

But he still endured it. If he said this, this guy would definitely not distinguish between the pancakes after a while. He could really do this.

Qiao Junlin was actually hungry at this time. After getting up this morning, he first practiced martial arts, then had breakfast, and then practiced calligraphy. Not long after Luo Yong got up, he had already done a lot of things.

It was also when he was growing up. On weekdays, his husband was working hard to eat and sleep all day long and studied arithmetic. He would pass the meals casually. The students would take care of their own food. Qiao Junlin didn't have much money and ate it relatively simple.

After a while, Luo went out with two sweet cakes and gave them one to Qiao Junlin, which was a piece of malt sugar and two handfuls of flour. The pancake was also very good.

After a while, Tamura was coming to Luo Yong to talk about it. Luo Yong pulled a piece of cake from his hand and handed it to him. Qiao Junlin looked at it and wanted to give it to him. Luo Yong waved his hand and let him eat his own.

Several people sat in the yard while gnawing on cakes and talking. Tamura came to look for Luo Yong this time because of the water wheel.

The farmland in their Xipo Village is mainly on the slopes. They were poor in the past. Not to mention any keel trucks, I have never seen a keel truck.

Nowadays, every household has accumulated some accumulation, Tiancun was thinking about it and asked everyone to take a little, get a few water trucks, buy some cement, and make the irrigation system in the village well.

Luo Yong naturally needs to support such a thing. He told Tamura that those craftsmen must pay the wages of their craftsmen. As for cement, just go directly to his cement workshop to carry a few loads of money, and don’t mention anything that is not worth it.

As a result, Tamura Masato said: "It's not possible to use it. This is not a three- or five-load cement. It has to be used a lot. I thought that everyone is capable now. If you want to do it, just make it more regular and build a few canals seriously, which can be considered a benefit to the descendants."
