The Tyrant's Beloved Empress

Chapter 68

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the craftsman's workshop, and before Xiao Zhige reached out to help, An Changqing got out of the carriage by herself. +++Mobile reading visit m.mtlnovel.com Xiao Zhige looked at his back as he walked in quickly, shook his head reluctantly, and could only follow him in.

The craftsman's workshop was established next to the weapon. In the front is the concierge and the front hall, in the middle is the residence of the craftsmen, and the innermost backyard is the place where the craftsmen (gan) work. The first version of the tube car developed is placed in the backyard.

An Changqing went in with the principal, and saw a swiftly high tube cart quietly placed in the courtyard, with a large circular runner connected to a wooden tube for water, and a sink at the bottom. It was almost the same as what he had seen in his last life.

"Can you try it in the water?" An Changqing asked.

The principal respectfully said: "It hasn't been launched yet. We did a smaller one before, and tried to launch it. If we fetched too little water, we changed it to a larger one."

An Changqing looked up, thinking that he saw a cart in the last life. A single ordinary cart can irrigate two acres of fields. If it can be developed in advance...

"When can it be launched?"

"I am going to launch it today." The steward said: "So I specially asked the princess to come and observe, to see if there is any room for improvement."

An Changqing was very satisfied with the speed of the craftsman's workshop, and nodded and said: "Go, if it can be done, I will have a great reward."

As soon as the principal heard it, his expression became even more exciting. I quickly called other people to transport the cart.

Craftsmen rely on craftsmanship to eat and earn hard money. Nowadays, the princess not only gives high monthly money, but is also polite to the craftsmen. More importantly, he can often put forward a lot of novel insights, so the craftsmen in the workshop respect him very much.

The craftsmen simply disassembled the cart, and then transported it to the river that was explored in advance in an ox cart, and then reinstalled the cart and placed it in the current. The water was turbulent, but in a moment it drove the drum cart to slowly rotate. The water intake wooden tube on the drum cart was filled with water and turned to a high place. The river water was poured into the sink and sent continuously to the ditch.

An Changqing let out a deep breath, with an unprecedented look in her eyes: "It's really done!"

Xiao Zhige originally did not approve of him running around with the craftsmen, but he was deeply touched when he saw the carts start to run and deliver water. No one knows better than him the meaning of this cart to Yanzhou and even to the people of Daye.

In the future, it is only necessary to dig river channels and ditches, and then use drum carts to transport water for irrigation. That would save a lot of effort from the irrigation that used to cost countless manpower. If irrigation is sufficient, crops will grow well, and crop yields will increase. The common people no longer need to run for irrigation, they can free up their hands to do other things...

Perhaps in a few years, the land of Yanzhou will no longer be so barren and poor.

Xiao Zhige's eyes were slightly hot, and he looked down at the person beside him: "The successful development of the tube cart is of great benefit to the people of Yanzhou. The craftsmen have rewards, what do you want?"
