Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 172
It was already noon when Yu Chihuan returned home, and the family just started eating lunch.

But Yu Chihuan had already eaten and drank enough in Changle Palace, so he was ready to go back to his room.

The eldest lady thought Yuchihuan had no appetite, and she didn't give up until Yuchihuan explained clearly.

Yu Chihuan did not hand over the thousand-string Kaiyuan Tongbao that he defrauded from Cheng Yaojin to the eldest lady, but kept it for himself for emergencies.

In the afternoon, Yu Chihuan began to take a nap at home.

……

In the next few days, nothing major happened in Chang'an City.

But seven days later, a fast horse galloped into Chang'an City and went straight into Taiji Palace.
So no one dared to stop him along the way.

That night, there was news that there was a drought in the east of the river, and the common people had no water to sow in their cultivated land. This year, there might be no harvest. The court could not collect taxes, and the common people had no food to eat.

When Yu Chihuan learned of the drought in Hedong, he suddenly realized.

"The time has finally come. If I'm not mistaken, there will be a drought in Turkic, and there will be a famine this year!"

As a time traveler, Yuchihuan still has a little understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the drought in Hedong was expected for Yuchihuan.

"I wonder if the water reel can help the people in Hedong solve the drought problem?"

After Yuchi Huan finished speaking, he took out a water reel!

The water rolling machine is ten meters long, the diameter of the water pipe is ten centimeters, and the water output is about half a cubic meter per second!
There is an iron chain inside the water pipe, and the iron chain is equipped with circular sealed rolls, and the water roll machine relies on these rolls to roll the water ashore!
If there are enough people, fifty acres of arable land can be filled in one day.

This is a very important irrigation tool.

In later generations, water reels were very important fishing tools.

In order to test the water reel, Yu Chihuan simply ordered his family to move the water reel to the river on Zhuque Street to pump water.

At noon, Yu Chihuan's open and aboveboard test of the water rolling machine on Zhuque Street immediately caused a sensation among the princes and relatives of Zhuque Street!

Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing who lived on Zhuque Avenue all ran over to watch the fun. They wanted to know what kind of thing this cylinder was, since it was made so important by Wei Chihuan, the master of the gang!

In order not to let the river water go to waste, Yu Chihuan simply connected the water pipe to the lotus pond at home.

The distance between the lotus pond and the water rolling machine is more than 100 meters!

Wei Zheng asked with bright eyes: "Sir Yuchi, are you a waterwheel?"

Waterwheels for irrigation are installed in the rivers of the Tang Dynasty, so Wei Zheng thought that the water rolls were also waterwheels.

Yuchi Huan smiled and explained the machine to everyone.

"Master Wei, this is not a water wheel, but a water winder, but the principle is the same as that of a water wheel, it can irrigate river water to high places!"

Wei Zheng was surprised and delighted: "This is my first time seeing such a strange waterwheel. I wonder if I can try it?"

Changsun Wuji rushed over anxiously and introduced himself.

"Little Lord Yuchi, how about I try this waterwheel?"

Li Jing pushed away Changsun Wuji and said, "You are all old fellows, let me try the waterwheel!"

All of a sudden, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and the others fought fiercely.

Fang Xuanling originally wanted to recommend himself, but now he dare not stand out.

"Several uncles, you are over 100 years old together, can you be quiet?"

Yuchihuan folded his small arms and looked at Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Li Jing speechlessly.

Fang Xuanling played it by ear: "Since the water rolling machine belongs to Mr. Xiao Yuchi, of course Mr. Xiao Yuchi should try the water rolling machine first!"

"Master Fang is right!" Yu Chihuan gave a thumbs up and said, "I will show you how to use the water reel now!" After he finished speaking, he walked to the front of the water reel, and yanked the water reel to turn wheel!

Whoa!
The water rolling machine was quickly filled with water, and then the clear water flowed continuously along the sink into the lotus pond of Yuchi's house.

The water volume of the water rolling machine is very large, and half of the lotus pond is filled within a stick of incense.

Yuchi Huan finally had to stop and pointed at Changsun Wuji.

"Master Changsun, your house is next door to mine, this time I will irrigate your lotus pond!"

Changsun Wuji was surprised and delighted, and he immediately moved the water tank to his own lotus pond with his servants.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yuchi, for giving me the opportunity, old man!"

Soon, Changsun Wuji set up the sink of the water rolling machine, and then started rolling the water. When he saw the clear river water flowing into the lotus pond at home, he immediately smiled.

"Master Li, Master Fang, this thing is more useful than a waterwheel. The main tank is long enough, and the water can flow anywhere!"

Fang Xuanling nodded in agreement.

"Our Datang has this water machine, which can make the dry land grow food!"

Li Jing clapped his hands excitedly.

"Very good. I heard that there is a drought in the east of the river. This water machine really came in time!"

The other onlookers, civil and military officials, also talked about it, and they were full of praise for the water machine.

After a stick of incense, the lotus pond at Changsun Wuji's house was also filled, and he still couldn't get enough of it.

"Li Jing, how about I take care of the lotus pond at your home?"

"roll!"

Li Jing unceremoniously scolded his eldest grandson Wuji.

"Changsun Wuji, don't take advantage of it and act good haha!"

Changsun Wuji said helplessly: "Since Li Jing does not accept the old man's kindness, then you can use this water machine yourself!"

Li Jing was overjoyed, and then arranged the sink in an orderly manner!

After Li Jing finished his work, he went to Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng's house!
The princes and relatives of Suzaku Street also came to join in the fun.

Yuchihuan simply handed the water reel to Li Jing and let him keep it, and went home to rest.

Since the water rolling machine is made of stainless steel, it is not afraid of being worn out no matter how you use it, and it will not rust.

This is much easier to use than the plastic pipes of later generations.

However, the water rolling machine weighs more than 100 kilograms, so if you go a long distance, you will definitely need a horse-drawn cart.

Soon, the entire city of Chang'an knew about this, and people rushed to Zhuque Street to watch the excitement.

Even Li Er, who was hiding in Tai Chi Palace, knew about it.

"I just learned about the drought in the east of the river. I didn't expect this little guy Yuchihuan to give me a water roller for irrigation so soon!"

Li Erlong was so happy that he wished he could go to Zhuque Street to see what the water machine looked like.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this water roller can fill [-] acres of arable land in one day. If the water roller is really so powerful, you can use the water roller to relieve the drought in the east of the river!"

Wang Gonggong is happy to see Li Er, and he is also happy!

"Come on, drive Suzaku Avenue right away, I'm going to see if the water machine has three heads and six arms today, since it's so powerful!"

After Li Er finished speaking, he put down his Langhao pen, changed into his regular clothes, and took the prince's micro-clothes to visit Zhuque Avenue privately.

The imperial guards of the Tai Chi Palace also disguised themselves as escorts!

When Li Er came to Zhuque Street, he was startled by the crowded Zhuque Street. He had no place to stay, he couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

"It seems that the common people are very curious about the water rolling machine!"

The prince said openly: "Your Majesty, do you want to drive away the idlers?"

"I want to have fun with the people today, you must not disturb the people to watch the fun haha!"

After Li Er finished speaking, he squeezed into the crowd.

The prince was shocked, and immediately led the imperial guards to guard the left and right.
