A few days later, when Luo Yong heard that His Majesty the Emperor was going to open a canned meat factory in Chengzhou, he naturally understood the causes and consequences here.

At the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he was able to hold on and was humble enough. Otherwise, wouldn’t he become a laughing stock now?

However, the people in Xipo Village ignore these things. No matter where the emperor wants to build a canning factory, this road was built by Luo Sanlang of their village.

The people in Xipo Village have been very happy recently. Firstly, it is because of the emperor's imperial edict, and secondly, the irrigation system they have worked hard to build has now been put into use.

After several processing and adjustments, it is now very useful. As long as it is the village field, it can be taken care of no matter what kind of edges and corners it is. Irrigation is no problem at all. In addition, with the fermented pig urine and the soil manure burned from home, the slopes in their village are now easy to grow crops.

Recently, many people have come to their village to observe and study. In addition to Shixian and surrounding areas, there are also places from Taiyuan City and even further away. Among them, there are many big family landlords who hold many farmlands.

Even the governor Hao, who was a little uneasy some time ago, has gradually begun to become active recently and is working hard to promote this irrigation method in Shizhou.

The last time the incident of offering the threshing machine was also a great impact on Hao Jianping.

When he sent a threshing machine to the capital with anticipation, he thought in his mind that this trip was nothing more than two results. One was that the court attached great importance to the threshing machine. This was the most likely and the best result. The other result was that the court did not attach as much importance as he imagined. Although it was regrettable, as a local official, he had no choice but to promote it in places under his jurisdiction.

Hao Jianping thought that the second situation was the worst result, but he did not expect that he would underestimate the malice in this world after all.

In this era without TV or Internet, the distribution of wisdom is extremely uneven. Some people have been officials for generations, so they naturally have accumulated a lot of experience in the officialdom. If some people do not have such accumulation and do not teach this in books, the teachers themselves do not understand it. Where should they learn it?

So in this era, many people are actually very naive, and for those who have entered the officialdom, such naivety is often very deadly.

Hao Jianping did not suffer much. He was just beaten by someone on the head and poured cold water on him, which made him deeply understand the cruelty of the struggle for power.

After returning to Lishi County, he often reflected and thought.

Recently, when I heard that another amazing irrigation system was built in Xipo Village, Hao Jianping went to check it out in person and felt that this system was simply wonderful.

The keel waterwheels that are popular in Shizhou are not suitable for them.

The use environment of the keel water truck is best to be on a flat and vast field. If there is a water source nearby but it is lower than this field, it will cause inconvenience to irrigation. In this case, you can use a keel water truck to steer the water truck by manpower, and use the scraper on the water truck to scrape the water below into the fields above. A water truck can often water a large area of ​​farmland, and villagers can also take turns to steer.

The disadvantages of this kind of keel water truck are, firstly, mainly rely on manpower to pedal the car, and secondly, use scrapers to wipe water, scraping and leaking. If it is in a relatively flat terrain and not too large, it is easier to use. If it is replaced with a mountainous area like Shizhou, it will basically not be used.

The cylindrical carts made by Luo Sanlang and others are very suitable for their place. The streams in the mountains are turbulent and there is enough hydraulic power to drive the cylindrical carts. Moreover, although the principle of this cylindrical cart is wonderful, the structure is very simple, and it is not difficult to manufacture. The efficiency of drawing water is relatively high. In combination with the ditches repaired with soil cement, the effect is better.

Even though he was excited, Hao Jianping did not report to the higher authorities this time as he had before, for fear that Chang'an City would not be able to find this thing.

He just handed over a document on his own business, and then he calmly promoted this irrigation system in Shizhou. After all, Hao Jianping was the governor of Shizhou. He could still make a fortune in this acre of three-point land.

In order to cooperate with the governor Hao to promote this irrigation system, Luo Yong also asked his disciples who worked in the cement workshop to bring some people to various places in Shizhou to build earthen kilns to burn cement.

The yellow mud used to burn this soil cement is everywhere in Shizhou, and there are also many places for lime and gypsum. Relatively speaking, building a cement workshop in Xipo Village does not actually have any geographical advantages, and it also adds a lot of transportation costs.

At this time, since governor Hao wanted to promote the irrigation method in their village, Luo Yong simply asked his disciples to boil cement in other people's villages. Not only can they be used to build canals, but some villages who want to build roads can also take this opportunity to build them together.

Sometimes Luo Yong would drive a carriage to those villages to observe and supervise. Now there are so many people who learn arithmetic from him in Xipo Village, many of whom have carriages. It is easier for Luo Yong to borrow a carriage occasionally.

"Sanlang, do you think our lime is available?" On this day, Luo Yongzheng and Hao governor Tiancun and others discussed in a village how to arrange the irrigation system of the village. Several villagers came over there, carrying loads of lime for Luo Yong to show them.

Luo Yong them sold cement in these villages, and the price was 5 cents per duct. If the villagers could get lime themselves, a load of lime could be exchanged for another load. If they could get gypsum, a load of gypsum could be exchanged for two loads of cement. This barter method also reduced the burden on some villages with poor economical benefits.

"It's useful." Luo Yong looked at the loads of lime they picked up, nodded, and then took out a few bamboo sticks from his sleeve and handed them: "When the cement here is burned out, you can take this bamboo stick."

"Oh, it's easy to use, it's easy to use." The villagers were very happy. Their village was not as rich as Xiaohe Village in Xipo Village. Governor Hao said he wanted to help them build an irrigation system and brought many craftsmen who helped build water trucks. Everyone was already very happy.

The cost of cement needs to be paid by the villagers themselves, and there is not so much money in the main prefectures to support the promotion and construction of the irrigation system in Shizhou. The expenditure of the big part depends on each village to bear it.

After the men received the bamboo sticks, they did not leave immediately. The governor Hao looked at them and asked, "But there is something else?"

"I wonder when the canal in our village will be excavated?" One of the villagers asked. Everyone meant that they naturally hoped that the earlier the canal would be built, the better.

"Tomorrow, Luo Sanlang and his team will start boiling cement. You can work with him first, or change some cement, and leave it to build the canal at that time. As for how to build this canal and where to dig it, I, Tamura Masaru and others, have to plan it carefully." Governor Hao said to them.

According to Xipo Village's previous experience in building canals, it is very important to plan the route in advance. A plan is proposed in advance and you can act according to the plan when the construction is completed. Instead of running around the slope, a group of people will not be able to stop working, and the irrigation project that was created may not be easy to use.

Tamura Masato had been in charge of the construction of the irrigation system in Xipo Village before, and he had experience, so during these days, the governor Hao brought him by his side and often discussed with him. The two of them often went to the slope to check the specific terrain together. Luo Yong looked at him and said that as long as the governor of Shizhou did not change people, Tamura Masato's future would be relatively bright. If you don't talk about it, the next regiment will definitely be true.

The villagers were very happy to hear that they could work in Luo Sanlang's cement workshop to change cement. On the one hand, they did not delay the construction of the canal, and on the other hand, they could also use labor to pay for cement. In this way, there should be no need to worry that their village could not raise so much money to buy cement.

The governor Hao and the others were still discussing the canal. Luo Yong had just arrived today and didn't know much about the situation here. After listening to it for a while, he felt it was meaningless, so he found a shaded place to sit down.

His disciples were also busy at this time. Luo Yong thought that the cement workshop here could be held for a while. The village was not too far from Shixian Town, so it was convenient to sell the extra cement. These villagers could work in the cement workshop to pay for the cement money, and Luo Yong didn't have to take care of them.

Although these people can eat two and a half meals a day, they can eat them all. Now, just eating in Xipo Village, they can eat Luo Yong every day. A cement workshop and a threshing machine workshop, how many people eat every day?

There were also those craftsmen from Chang'an City. The emperor asked them to bring Jingtie over, but they didn't bring any money for the meal, so Luo Yong still had to take care of them. Although these people were all from the city, their appetite was not worse than that of the rough men in their village. When they were eating fried noodles, their stomachs seemed to have two stomachs.

"Sanlang, what are you thinking?" Tamura shouted Luo.

"Nothing happened." Luo Yong smiled and waved his hand at him.

"I want to go upstairs with the governor Hao to take a look. Do you want to come together?" Tamura asked him.

"I won't go. I'll go to the earth kiln later, you guys go." Luo Yong smiled brightly. The ditch planning was nothing, so why did he do it?

·

On the side of Xipo Village, Bai Yimao and the others were very happy to hear that Luo Sanlang would not come back this afternoon.

Since the news that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to build a canning factory in Chengzhou reached the local area of ​​Xipo Village, the coffin boards were obviously much more "hearted" than before. Not only did the class take longer, the after-school homework was becoming more and more difficult.

It is rare for him to go out today. He heard that he was still far away and he would definitely not be able to come back in the afternoon, so Bai Yimao and his friends were secretly happy.

"Hey, where are you going?" After lunch that day, Bai Yimao and others were about to walk outside the guesthouse.

"Let's go and take a horse." A fat man turned around and said with a smile.

"Sanlang didn't say that everyone would study for themselves today." The man frowned.

"I just had dinner, so we'll come back later." When Luo Yong was there, he didn't start class so early.

"I'm afraid it's too late." The man said.

"Where do you start with this?" Several young people looked confused.

"Sanlang left us arithmetic questions. I'm afraid you'll go out to play at this time and you won't be able to finish those questions when you come back later." The man raised his hand and pointed at Luo Yong's blackboard that was about half a person tall next to the place where he usually attended class.

"..." Several young people looked over.
