Chapter 183

Looking at Xue Wen's confident face, the suspicion that had just arisen was a little shaken.

However, at this time, a rich man from Yan State ran over and said, "If you can make it spray water, I will directly donate 1000 taels of silver to share the burden with the people of Jicheng."

A rich man is called Wang Quan Fugui. His family has been engaged in business in Jicheng for several generations and has accumulated tens of thousands of wealth. The turmoil this year did not affect him.

He has been paying attention to Zhong Yue and the others, wanting to see how to solve the drought, because too many people have accumulated in the city, and even if they are expelled from time to time, it is useless at all.

Wang Quan Fugui is a businessman, he doesn't want to move because of the drought, because every time he moves, he loses more.

And he doesn't mind whoever is the ruler of Yan, as long as his family can continue to live.

Xue Wen was slightly astonished, stopped his hands, and did not let the people below him do it, because he knew that it was best to make money.

"This is?" Because Xue Wen didn't see Wang Quanfugui and Zhong Yue and the others together, but followed them on the street later.

Wang Quan Fugui introduced himself: "I am a wealthy businessman from Yan Kingdom, and my name is Wang Quan Fugui."

When Zhong Yue heard that she was from the Wang Quan family, her solemn expression softened a little, because this powerful and wealthy family did not give up when she was in trouble, and still believed that Zhong Yue could make Jicheng and Yan country better.

At the same time, they also joined forces with other merchants to form a group and obey Zhong Yue's orders.

Just because of Zhong Yue's words: "We make you richer."

Afterwards, it was true, because after reorganizing the merchants of the Yan Kingdom, a chamber of commerce was established under the unified arrangement of the state, and the chairman was Zhong Yue, and the vice-chairman was King Quan Fugui.

In the former Yan Kingdom, it was very difficult for businessmen to get ahead. They were basically controlled by the nobles, and they took the bulk of the profits.

Zhong Yue said, "He is the vice president of the Yan Country Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh, it turned out to be Chairman Wang Quan, disrespectful and disrespectful." Xue Wen is used to talking to whoever he sees.

"If you can really spray water, I will not only pay for it, but also pay for the water conservancy construction in Jicheng." The royal power and wealth are used to local tyrants, so of course he has his eyes on this thing.

If it is successful, there will definitely be many business opportunities.

Xue Wen came here to promote this simple water pump by the way. Although the water is pumped manually, with further research, the automatic water pump recorded in the pamphlet that King Qi gave him before can be created.

Xue Wen looked at Zhong Yue and said, "Since he is willing to gamble, then I'm not going to be polite, and I'll just show it to you."

Xue Wen made a few gestures to the people below, indicating that it was time to start.

The few people in the water wanted to start a long time ago, but because Xue Wen didn't give an order.

There were only two people doing it, one held it down and the other turned the handle wildly, causing the fan blades in the square box to rotate continuously, and the water to rumble and roll. As their speed became faster and faster, the water quickly entered the bamboo tube and continued to push upward.

Zhongyue and the others above only heard the sound of "wheezing and wheezing" from inside the bamboo tube from time to time. Since the length of the bamboo tube is relatively long and there is a joint in the middle, it will leak air, so the speed of coming up is not so fast.

After waiting for a few minutes, King Quan Fugui was proud and smiled contemptuously: "I said it's impossible, the water can be pumped up with just a few rings, it's too simple to think."

Xue Wen stared at the bamboo tube from time to time, but ignored him, because he already felt the water was rising, and sometimes looked at a few people under the water.

Looking at the hard-working people and listening to the flow rate, I let go of my anxiety a lot. If it doesn't work this time, the delivery is likely to fail.

Zhong Yue would not talk to him at this time. No matter what, the Xue Wen in front of him was here to help him get through the difficulties, no matter how urgent it was, he was in a hurry.

Just then, Wang Quanfugui wanted to continue to taunt Xue Wen, and water flowed out from the mouth of the bamboo tube, and the flow was not large yet.

"This...the water really came out. How did it happen?" Wang Quanfugui was a little incoherent, because the water could come out, so it is still possible to spray water next.

Zhong Yue also widened her eyes and looked blankly at the mouth of the bamboo tube. The water was getting bigger and bigger.

And Xue Wen was also urging the people below to shake faster, he just wanted to amplify the effect so that Zhong Yue and the others could be convinced.

Pang Juan said: "Junior brother just likes to specialize in research. Presumably you are also taught by King Qi."

Xue Wen said: "It's still General Pang who understands the truth. If it weren't for King Qi's guidance, how could such a thing be done."

In fact, this hand-operated water pump just has the shape given by Zhou Zihao, without the core motor.

However, he is quite smart and actually thought of manpower to solve it. Although it is a bit cumbersome, it is enough to implement large-area irrigation as long as he works hard.

"Wow, it's turned into a water column." Zhong Yue exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Quanfugui knew that he had lost, but he was very happy, without any loss.

A thousand taels of silver is just a drizzle to him, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.

What he cares about is that this thing will definitely be used in Jicheng and even in various parts of Yan State in the future, because this design is really suitable for irrigation.

And now it can also solve the temporary severe water shortage and provide water for the people through drainage.

Wang Quanfugui walked up to Xue Wen and apologized very sincerely: "Mr. Xue, I lost the bet just now. I will definitely keep my promise. Please don't blame me."

Xue Wen glanced at him and said, "You are just worrying too much, I won't take it to heart."

The water has been sprayed out, and it can be shot two or three meters away. If the shaking person is fast enough, it will not be so powerful if it is not fast enough.

Seeing that he was still staying beside her, Xue Wen was puzzled, why he still insisted on not leaving even though he had already forgiven him.

"Are you okay?"

Wang Quanfugui suddenly regained his spirits, and said, "Mr. Xue, can you give me a copy of the making method of this thing?"

Xue Wen said: "No, these things can't be passed on to the outside world yet, I want to teach it to General Zhong."

The kingship and wealth could only be given up, but he asked instead: "Mr. Xue must have many other gadgets in Qi. I heard that there is a giant cannonball over there, an artifact that can directly blow people up. I wonder if you have seen it?" .”

Xue Wen said: "At that time, if it were not for the Shenwei Cannon, the Qi State would have been in trouble, but now there is a great opportunity."

He did not elaborate on the affairs of his own country, and even if it was a just counter-insurgency, he was too embarrassed to do so.

Zhong Yue apologized to Xue Wen: "I was wrong, I was too anxious just now, you didn't even drink your saliva, so I brought you here."

"It's okay, it's the same every morning and evening." The tiredness on Xue Wen's face was obvious, but he didn't complain.

"Then these?"

"I'll go back to Qi in a few days, because there are a lot of things waiting for me to do there. The people I brought here will stay and help you make this kind of tool with all your strength, so that you can reduce your losses."

What Xue Wen said was the truth, it doesn't matter whether he stays or not, as long as the main technician stays to help.
