Jiang Zhinian took out the blueprint of the waterwheel and gave it to Ge Ren, and told Ge Ren the function of the waterwheel.
After listening to this, Ge Ren became excited.
"This is great. It can be used to irrigate fields on hillsides that are higher up. It can save time and effort, and farmers will be much more relaxed."
Ge Ren knew very well the importance of this waterwheel.
Even if you just look at the drawings and know its function, you will realize the benefits of this thing.
With this, the burden on farmers can be reduced.
Although Jiangzhou has many rivers, there are also many remote hillsides where it is not easy to irrigate the fields.
Some good fields are in the hands of large households, while some farmers' fields are of inferior quality, which are difficult to cultivate and irrigate.
We have to climb a high slope, and it is inconvenient to transport the crops down from the mountain when they are ripe.
With this kind of cart and water truck, it is much more convenient and everyone can be much more relaxed.
He still remembers that when he was doing farm work in his hometown, everyone carried crops down the mountain in backpacks or shoulder poles. Even for watering, they would carry buckets filled with water on the shoulder poles and go up the mountain to the fields, watering them one spoonful at a time. It would take many days just to water the crops, and they would be so tired that their backs and waists would ache.
With a waterwheel, work doesn’t have to be so hard and everyone can save time. It really saves time and effort.
Ge Ren couldn't let go of the drawings just by looking at them.
Jiang Zhinian nodded and said, "That's true. You can ask the government workshop to make the waterwheel later. It can be built according to the parts, and then you can move it over and assemble it when the time comes."
There are many rivers in Jiangzhou, so by placing the water wheel in the river, the water can be directly diverted to the fields.
Don't worry about anything else.
This way Jiangzhou can recover as soon as possible.
Jiangzhou is actually a rich place. Once it recovers, the tax revenue will increase and it will also be able to increase tax revenue for the national treasury, which will also be good for the State of Yan.
In terms of taxation, the emperor reduced many taxes, which was very light compared with previous dynasties.
In order to encourage land reclamation, some places do not collect taxes in the first three years.
As long as farmers work hard and have high-yield crops like potatoes, even low-quality fields can yield hundreds of dan of grain, and everyone will not go hungry.
Maybe we can save a lot of food.
But there are not many potatoes and sweet potatoes at the moment, and she handed over many high-yield crops to the court. It will take a long time to promote them.
But in Jiangzhou, she delivered potatoes, sweet potatoes and other food to Yan Jiyou, which could be distributed to the victims so that they could cultivate the fields well.
Ge Ren nodded and said, "That's right. Jiangzhou has a wide area, so we should find craftsmen to build more."
Ge Ren thought that with these, people's livelihood would be restored faster.
When the time comes to submit a memorial, he will definitely ask for credit for Jiang Zhinian.
He had always wanted to repay the favor, but he didn't expect to get help from Miss Jiang again.
It is conceivable that with these, he will be able to gain a foothold in Jiangzhou more quickly.
After Ge Ren left, Jiang Zhinian suddenly calmed down, and his mind was filled with Yan Jiyou's figure uncontrollably.
She could only keep herself busy and planned to go to the epidemic center to continue helping.
Now all the patients at the epidemic center have fully recovered and returned home, and some have returned to the villages where they were resettled. There are fewer patients there, and only a small number of them need to take medicine for two more days.
A medicine soup pot was also set up in the city, and anyone who had no problem could come and get a bowl to drink.
Now that Jiangzhou is no longer in danger, people in the city are coming out to take medicine.
The medical officers were busy preparing medicine.
Just when Jiang Zhinian was about to go out, he saw Yan Jiyou who had returned exhausted.
The moment Jiang Zhinian saw Yan Jiyou, his eyes lit up.
It was just because she was too worried that her eyes slightly reddened when she saw him, "You...you're back!"
Jiang Zhinian's voice was extremely hoarse.
Yan Jiyou looked at Jiang Zhinian's red eyes, and his heart ached. He stepped forward, stretched out his hands, gently hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, I came back late and made you worry."
The moment he saw Jiang Zhinian, Yan Jiyou felt like he was home, and he couldn't help but relax.
Only when he held her in his arms did he feel at peace and secure.
Jiang Zhinian leaned in Yan Jiyu's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat. Only when she was sure that he was fine did she feel relieved.
These days, she was so worried about him that she couldn't even sleep well at night.
I was worried that he might be in danger, but now that I see him back safely, I feel relieved.
"You...are you injured?"
Jiang Zhinian came out of Yan Jiyu's arms and looked at him carefully.
Yan Jiyou's eyes were gentle, and he looked at her with a doting expression and said, "You're not hurt."
“And it’s all been resolved.”
Jiang Zhinian pulled him into the house and said, "Wash yourself up and eat something, then take a rest. We'll talk after you've rested."
Nothing is more important than Yan Jiyou's rest.
Jiang Zhinian looked at his features and knew that he must not have gotten enough rest these days.
Yan Jiyou went to wash up first, and after taking a shower, he changed into white clothes.
Jiang Zhinian was stunned when he saw Yan Jiyou wearing moon-white clothes.
At this moment, Yan Jiyou was dressed in white as white as snow, as graceful as an orchid, and as gentle as jade. He looked like a banished immortal, giving people an unreal feeling.
very nice.
She thought of a saying: There is no one like you in the world.
Just looking at him, Jiang Zhinian's heart beat faster.
When in the capital, Yan Jiyou mostly wore dark-colored clothes. I didn't expect that he would look so good in light-colored clothes, so noble and elegant.
Yan Jiyou looked at Jiang Zhinian's expression and asked softly, "Is there something wrong?"
This set of clothes was originally brought by Jiang Zhinian when he came to Jiangzhou.
So he put on this outfit after washing up.
Jiang Zhinian came back to her senses, her eyelashes trembling as she said, "No, I just didn't expect you to look so good in this dress."
When saying this, Jiang Zhinian's face turned red involuntarily.
Yan Jiyou looked at Jiang Zhinian's shy look, his heart moved, and the expression between his eyebrows became more tender and gentle.
He thought, if Jiang Zhinian liked him wearing such clothes, he would wear more such clothes in the future.
After Jiang Zhinian finished speaking, in order to hide his discomfort, he hurriedly said: "Well, the food is ready, you eat first."
While Yan Jiyou was washing up, Jiang Zhinian went to the kitchen to cook the meal himself without letting the cook do it.
The cook can only help.
This time Jiang Zhinian made some new dishes.
She actually observed Yan Jiyou's eating habits carefully.
Although Yan Jiyou didn't say anything, Jiang Zhinian would observe every time they ate.
I roughly know what his taste is like. In fact, Yan Jiyou is a very restrained person when it comes to eating.
It took me a long time to realize that he was a light eater.
Therefore, the food Jiang Zhinian cooked at this time was relatively light in taste.
There are also dishes made with bean curd and dried tofu, as well as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and some vegetables, fruits, which are quite rich, ensuring that Yan Jiyou can eat better.
He must not have eaten well or rested well these days.
Yan Jiyou also knew what Jiang Zhinian was worried about, so he explained during the meal: "I have taken over the iron mine on Qingteng Mountain."
"As for those people arranged by Nanjiang, they have been arrested, and those whose iron smelting tools were seized have been brought back."
"There are indeed a lot of iron weapons in that cave. I have asked someone to secretly send a batch of weapons to the northern border to support General Wu in the war."
The Northern Rong and Southern Xinjiang united to attack the border, and General Wu led his soldiers to resist tenaciously.
Also guarded the border.
However, the war has been going on and has not yet ceased. In addition, there are some support soldiers from the Beirong side, and they seem to be determined to capture the border cities in the north.
