Chapter 116

It has to be said that Fang Jun is indeed a natural military general, and few people can stop him with strange strength. Even Chumo is willing to bow down to the general Fang Jun.

A well killing was like a toy in his hand. He shook it continuously for a long time, and his face was not red and out of breath.

"Fang Aiqing, your son is really such a body. It would be a pity if he didn't join the army."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Jun's bulging muscles and exclaimed. He thought that when he fought in the world when he was young, he also had a good body bone. Unfortunately, after calming the world, his comfortable life has made his body fat gradually, and it is no longer as good as before.

"The dog doesn't like reading and prefers martial arts, which makes his majesty laugh." Fang Xuanling said with a bitter smile.

Fang Jun is the biggest worry for Fang Xuanling in the Fang family. His eldest son, Fang Yizhi, is the eldest son. He has a calm personality and will inherit Fang Xuanling's title and government in the future.

Fang Jun, the second son, had nothing. Fang Xuanling was going to ask the emperor for marriage and let Princess Gaoyang marry Fang Jun. in this way, even after Fang Xuanling has been a hundred years old, Fang Jun can be rich and noble all his life.

Unfortunately, Merton's Ink magazine not only spoiled the marriage of the Chang Sun family, but also spoiled Fang Xuanling's wishful thinking. Chang sun Wuji saw that it was impossible to marry Princess Changle, so he asked Chang sun Chong to marry the beloved Princess Gaoyang. Fang Xuanling was unwilling and helpless. After all, he was not as close as Chang sun Wuji.

Unfortunately, Fang Xuanling didn't know the development of future generations. If she knew that Princess Gaoyang had harmed the house so miserably, she would never have this regret again. She didn't even know how to feel Morton.

Soon, the water from the well killing became clear, which meant that the well had been washed. With a sigh of relief, Fang Jun handed over the well killing to a Mohist child and came over with Mo da.

"How are you, young master!" Mo Da ran over and saluted Merton. Although he didn't know Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin, he also knew that the young master must be accompanied by dignitaries.

"Young master, do you want to continue drilling?" Murdoch asked Merton for instructions.

"Well drilling! Not only well drilling! But also well drilling should be enough to irrigate all experimental fields." Merton said proudly, pointing to the 100 mu experimental field.

"Young master, if you want to irrigate all the 100 mu experimental field, you need to hit at least five * * *, but I'm afraid we can't take care of it and delay the farming!" said Mo Da with a bitter face.

He knew that the Mohist experimental field had a high position in the young master's mind and was also the face of the Mohist village in Chang'an city. However, if the well is drilled slowly, I'm afraid the well will be completed in the end, and half of the crops in the experimental field will die of drought. I'm afraid Mohist will become a laughing stock of Chang'an city immediately, but Mohist village can't draw people out. It needs manpower to make waterwheel and artificial incubator, and Mohist village's fishing farm also needs a lot of manpower, There is an artificial shortage in such a large Mojia village.

"If there are no hands, hire people to solve the drought in the shortest time. Not only the experimental fields should be watered, but also all the dry fields in Mojia village should be watered by digging wells."

Merton firmly said, joking, Mojia village specializes in buying water tankers. If their fields suffer from drought, how to sell water tankers to kill wells is like a pig killer who can't afford pork.

"All wells are dug and watered?" modaton felt great pressure. There are many dry fields in Mojia village, accounting for about 80% of the total fields. I'm afraid the manpower needed will be a terrible number.

"Merton, I'm afraid it's difficult for you. How can we recruit enough people in such a short time." Fang Jun couldn't see it and said a fair word for Merton.

"Nuo! Isn't there a large number of idle people?" Merton looked at the people worshiping the Dragon King on the official road. Nearly an hour later, the number of people worshiping the dragon and praying for rain not only didn't decrease, but more and more, and the whole official road was almost blocked.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked at the bold Merton speechless. They didn't expect that he had hit the Dragon King. However, they didn't stop Merton, because with Merton's irrigation method, it doesn't seem to matter whether the Dragon King will be angry in the future.

It's really a good idea for Mo da. As for whether he will offend the Dragon King, it's not in Mo Da's consideration. After all, if the fields in Mojia village have been watered once, who cares whether the Dragon King is angry or not.

"The Mojia village has recruited well diggers, and the salary is fifty Wen a day!"

On the official road, Mo Da roared, and immediately everyone was shocked.

Fifty Wen is a high salary in Datang. The price of Datang is much lower than that of later generations. Fifty Wen is enough for ordinary people to spend a week.

"Mojia village has always been so extravagant?" Fang Xuanling asked. As the prime minister, he certainly knows the prices and average wages of Datang. Fifty Wen a day kills most people's salaries in the country.

Such a high salary was offered by a servant without saying, while Merton on the side looked like a matter of course. Fang Xuanling couldn't help but have some lessons.

"Uncle Fang misunderstood. Mojia village has its own rules for making wages. It's hard work to dig wells and water. It doesn't lose 50 Wen a day. Moreover, if we can irrigate the fields in Mojia village in the shortest time, we can minimize the loss of the fields. Only when the land in Mojia village is irrigated in the shortest time can we make Mojia village happy The village's tools and waterwheel sell well. In this way, Mojia village doesn't lose 50 Wen a day, "Merton explained.

"Profiteer!" Li Shimin heard that Merton did not hide his intention and looked at Merton contemptuously. Was the boy poor and afraid before? He was in the eye of money.

However, the more magnanimous Merton is, Li Shimin can't afford to blame. After all, the Mohist village doesn't steal one, rob two, or hoard strange things.

"Fifty words!"

Many people who ask for rain are immediately moved. At present, the drought is rampant. If it doesn't rain, grain production may be reduced, or even the harvest may be lost. If you take this opportunity to earn more money, you can't successfully survive this year's natural disaster. Suddenly, many people are moved here involuntarily.

"Don't move, aren't you afraid to offend the Dragon King and bring disaster?" the old man, who was led by him, roared when he saw the floating heart.

"Dragon King!"

People praying for rain could not help looking at the Dragon King clay sculpture in fear. In this era, the theory of ghosts and gods is very popular, otherwise it would not attract so many people to pray for rain.

"Do you think the Dragon King will rain if you give a few pigs?" Mo Da Leng snorted.

"If you offend the Dragon King, I'm afraid there will be no peace in Guanzhong. Can your Mojia village afford this responsibility?" the old man said coldly.

"You're afraid to offend the Dragon King. I'm not afraid of Mojia village. Mojia village has made tools for dry land irrigation. Anyone who comes to recruit workers will be sold to you at half price after irrigation." Mo Da said impolitely.

Mo Da's last sentence became the last straw to overwhelm the camel. One was the illusory Dragon King, even if it was asking for rain, it might not fall, while the other was a real fact. The movement of drilling a well in Moda has already alerted everyone. When washing the well, the water from the well flowed directly onto the official path. Compared with the two, it is not difficult to choose.

"I'll come." a strong man like an iron tower stood up and walked to Mo da.

"Zhang Wu, you... Do you know the consequences of offending the Dragon King!" the village head looked at the strong man in front of him angrily and couldn't believe that these people really dared to betray the gods.

"Village head, I know you meant well. Four years ago, I remember you led everyone to pray for rain, but if the Dragon King was really spiritual, the drought four years ago would not starve my mother to death. I don't want to experience the same thing again." Zhang Wu, who is like an iron tower, said in tears. He didn't go back to Mo Da when he thought of aggravating his hungry wife and children.

"I'll go too!"

"I won't ask for rain!"

………………

Soon, the rain team scattered and empty, leaving only a few diehards around the village head and the old man.

Mohism won a small game in the competition between Mohism and the Dragon King.

Merton has no doubt that the well killing test can be successful. The well drilling equipment has been produced according to the mass production standard from the beginning. Mojia village has built a lot of well drilling equipment early and is ready to sell it on the test field. Now it happens to use it first.

A set of drilling tools for every four people is more than enough. Under the command of Mexico University, dozens of drilling teams started together, and the scene was shocking.

The workers who dig wells work very hard because they know that the sooner they finish, the sooner they can buy cheap kill wells and water their fields.

"In two days at most, the 100 mu experimental field will be watered once! From then on, this experimental field will be as good as the weather and have a good harvest every year." Merton said with satisfaction. Merton never disguised and modest about the success of his efforts.

"What a pity! If we could promote this mental irrigation technology a month in advance, we would not worry about the drought. It's too late now!" Fang Xuanling said regretfully as he watched the water from the wellhead.

Although the mojiazi have found a way to overcome the drought, I'm afraid most of the crops in Guanzhong have died of drought when they build well drilling tools.

"Smelly boy, I know that if you take care of yourself, the people in Guanzhong will be in famine, and you still have the mood to show off." Li Shimin thought of the upcoming drought, a feeling of surplus but insufficient strength came to his mind.

Obviously, there is a peerless prescription in front of him, but there is nothing he can do because of time. This feeling makes Li Shimin crazy. Unfortunately, maise Merton has become the first bird and the vent of Li Shimin.

Merton immediately ran away, thinking of the famous Crab Effect of later generations.

In an open basket, a crab can easily climb out, but if several crabs are put together, the result is that no crab can climb up. For no other reason, crabs are pulling back from each other.

Merton suddenly realized a problem. Mojia village is likely to become the only crab to escape in the basket. It can be imagined that if all the farmers in the whole pass are bad, only Mojia village will reap a good harvest. I'm afraid that the harvest of Mojia village will not be envy, but the anger of countless people, and even the painstaking management image of Mojia village will collapse.

It's not about right or wrong, it's about people's hearts.

No, we can't put Mojia village in danger. Merton turned his mind and wanted to find a way to break the situation.

"Wei Chen has a plan to solve the problem of drought in Guanzhong." Merton quickly shouted.

"What?"

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling couldn't believe their ears. Staring at Merton.

"Smelly boy, what are you talking about? Do you know if you talk nonsense, it's the crime of bullying the king!" Li Shimin stares at Merton with red eyes. Li Shimin is in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Even if there is a chance to prevent the disaster in Guanzhong, he doesn't want to let go. Fang Xuanling also looks at Merton with hope.

Unexpectedly, Merton bowed his hands to Li Shimin and said, "here, Weichen wants to impeach uncle Fang for his inaction."

"Inaction?" Fang Xuanling was confused. Is there another crime in the law of the Tang Dynasty?

"Merton! Don't talk so much!" the second room shouted angrily at Merton's impeachment of his father.

"Ha ha! You Merton should impeach my prime minister. If you can't give a reason, the crime of deceiving the king and the crime of false accusation will be punished at the same time." Li Er sneered. No impeacher in the world calls others uncle.

"In the drought in Guanzhong, Mojia village developed new water tankers and killed wells. People in other villages organized to pray for rain one after another. Although it was useless, they also did their part. What did the government do in the drought?" Merton asked with a sneer.

Fang Xuanling was stunned.

Yes! What did the government do? After thinking about it, I suddenly found that the government had done nothing.

"This is a natural disaster, a disaster that ordinary people can't resist. They can finally rely on the imperial court but do nothing." Merton snorted coldly.

"What do you think the government should do?" Fang Xuanling asked humbly.

"New drilling tools and well killing are not difficult to make. Uncle Fang ordered to reduce a large amount of steel and summon all craftsmen in Guanzhong area to work overtime to make drilling tools and well killing." Merton said.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "it's really not difficult. I think I can do it. But even if it is, I can't have as much labor as the experimental field in Mojia village."

Drilling a well is a manual job. Usually four people work at the same time to drill a well. In the whole Guanzhong area, we can't care how many fields and wells to drill.

"As far as I know, there is a place in Guanzhong with a large number of idle labor force. It depends on your Majesty's reluctance to use it." Merton pointed out.

"Smelly boy, you should pay attention to the 16th guard. Do you know what the duty of the 16th guard is?" Li Shimin instantly understood the meaning of Merton. The 16th guard is Li Shimin's elite force guarding Chang'an, with a number of about 200000 people.

Morton said proudly, "of course, the boy knows that soldiers want to protect their families and defend their country, but the drought in Guanzhong will break up countless families. Don't these families need to be protected?"

Remembering that every time there was a major disaster in later generations, a large group of the most lovely people rushed to the front line. Thinking of this, Merton said excitedly: "this is a crisis, with both danger and opportunity. The government just took this opportunity to promote new irrigation tools, and the land in Guanzhong will never be so unprepared in the face of famine in the future,

At the same time, for the 16 guards, this is a show, a show of drought resistance, but it is not a show, but a show of doing practical things for the people, but a show of his Majesty's benevolence and love for the people, a show of military and civilian fish and water. "

"Drought resistance show!" Li Shimin chewed the four words in his mouth, and the brilliance in his eyes became more and more shining. In this way, he will recover the hearts of the people in Guanzhong at one stroke, and no one can shake him any more.
