Chapter 81: The Wheelbarrow That Relieved the Drought in Daqin
“How do you implement it?”

Ying Zheng stared at Ying Ziye and asked anxiously, his face full of tension and anxiety.

When it comes to the great cause of unifying the world, even he cannot remain calm.

“There is no water in the sky, but there is water on the earth!”

"There are countless rivers and streams within the Qin territory. We only need to direct the water from the rivers to irrigate the fields to solve the urgent problem."

An uproar broke out in the court, and everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Ying Ziye in disbelief.

Bringing water from rivers to irrigate fields? !

this.
It's just a foolish dream and it can't be realized at all!
"Hahaha!"

"Your Highness, are you daydreaming?"

“How many canals do we need to dig to draw water from rivers for irrigation?”

“Do you know how huge this project will be?”

"By the time the canal is dug, autumn will have already passed and the people will have starved to death!"

“Ignorance! Such great ignorance!”

“It’s just a fantasy!”

After hearing Ying Ziye's proposal, Chunyu Yue burst into laughter.

Although the Second Prince is extremely powerful and above the ordinary world, he grew up in wealth after all, and does not understand the sufferings of the world, nor the hardships of irrigating farmland!

"Ugh!"

"It turns out that the method the Second Prince suggested is so unrealistic!"

“It’s a bit fanciful indeed.”

"Although the Second Young Master is very talented, he is a noble young master after all and does not understand the hardships of farming!"

When the ministers heard this, the surprise on their faces disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by sighs, and the hopes in their hearts disappeared like smoke.

They also had the idea of ​​drawing water from large rivers to irrigate the fields.

However, the key point is that they are unable to achieve it!
Even Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, who was sitting high on the throne, had a dim look in his eyes and leaned weakly on the back of his chair.

Obviously, he also thought that this was nothing but a fantasy.

“Ignorant people?”

"hehe!"

“Who is the ignorant one?”

“Just because you can’t do it, does that mean others can’t do it either?”

"How can a frog in a well understand the immensity of the universe?"

Ying Ziye looked at the complacent Chun Yu Yue with a hint of sneer on his lips, his eyes full of deep contempt for Chun Yu Yue.

Chunyu Yue's smile froze instantly. Ying Ziye's words made him turn pale and blue!

"snort!"

"I am a frog in a well, and I don't know how vast the world is."

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Second Prince knows everything about heaven and earth and can draw rivers to irrigate farmland?"

Chunyu Yue responded sharply. He absolutely did not believe that Ying Ziye could accomplish such an absurd thing!
"hehe!"

"Everyone says that no one can break through the realm of earthly immortals, but I did it!"

"They say it's a fantasy to destroy the Three Kingdoms within a year, but I accomplished it!"

“Who can grow 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of grain per mu? I did it!”

"Which of these things do you think is possible and feasible?"

“I can think of things that others can’t!”

“I can do what others can’t do!”

“Just because.”

"I am Ying Ziye!!!"

Ying Ziye's powerful words echoed in the court, shaking the eardrums of Qin Shihuang and every civil and military official!

Win midnight!
This name symbolizes miracle!

Once upon a time, countless impossibilities in their eyes were turned into possibilities one by one by Ying Ziye!

He is an existence beyond the norm!

That kind of domineering attitude of "no one else can do it better than me" made the ministers in the court involuntarily feel respect and admiration for him, and the fire of hope ignited in their hearts!
The originally eclipsed Qin Shi Huang now had a spark of hope rekindled in his eyes!

That's right!

Just because ordinary people can't do it doesn't mean Midnight can't do it!
He is the one who turns the impossible into possible!

"Midnight!"

"I believe you can succeed!"

"How do you do it?"

"I will do my best!"

Ying Zheng put aside his inner anxiety and looked at Ying Ziye with a look full of firm trust.

He firmly believed that his son, who worked miracles, would be able to solve this problem!

"Father, all you need to do is to build the drum cart."

?
The unfamiliar word "筒车" left Qin Shihuang and all the civil and military officials confused.

They had heard of horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, and even chariots, but had never heard of barrel carts.

"Ziye, what on earth is this barrel cart?" Qin Shi Huang asked in confusion.
"This masterpiece carefully crafted by 21 craftsmen was originally intended to be presented to my father at the court this morning to help alleviate the drought in the Qin Empire. Unfortunately, it was delayed due to someone's instigation."

Ying Ziye's gaze was like a sharp arrow, sweeping across Chunyu Yue's pale face. It went without saying that everyone knew who the culprit was.

"snort!"

"Chun Yuyue, you spoke rashly and obstructed our Great Qin from fighting against natural disasters. I will punish you with thirty strokes of the cane!"

Ying Zheng decisively waved his hand and imposed severe punishment on Chunyu Yue.

He was burning with rage. His son had already prepared a countermeasure and was about to present it in the court, but this old Confucian scholar disrupted the plan. It was really despicable!
At the order, Meng Yi immediately led two Dragon and Tiger Guards into the hall, escorted Chunyu Yue out, and beat him with sticks!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

There were bursts of shrill screams coming from outside the hall, which frightened everyone present.

After a while, Ying Ziye instructed his men to carry the pre-made barrel cart into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.

"Father, please look over here, this is the drum cart!"

"It consists of a rotating axle with a number of inclined buckets placed on it, which can be driven by the water flow to make them rotate."

"The water in the barrel flows into the bamboo pipes as the barrel wheel rotates. These bamboo pipes are then connected to the fields, making irrigation a breeze!"

Ying Ziye explained incessantly and demonstrated the functions and uses of the barrel wheel to Ying Zheng and his ministers.

Everyone stared at the drum in amazement and listened to Ying Ziye's explanation, with expressions of disbelief and shock on their faces!
this.
What a wonderful idea! ?
It is simply a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship!!

With it, the water from the rivers and lakes can travel thousands of miles and nourish the farmlands that were originally out of reach, making the impossible possible!
"Great! Great! Great!"

"This drum cart is truly a magical tool for irrigating farmland!"

"With it, all the water from the rivers and lakes can be used by our Qin State and we can dispatch it at will!"

“Severe drought.”

“No more worries!”

Ying Zheng was so excited that he left the throne, paced around the barrel cart, and praised it highly.

With it, you no longer have to worry about reduced crop yields!
With it, by the time the autumn harvest comes, the Qin army will have more than enough food for the war!

With it, Qin's ambition to unify the world will be unstoppable!
All the ministers focused their attention on this magical barrel cart and were amazed.

At this moment, they truly admired Ying Ziye's wisdom!
How is this mind structured?

He was able to create a magical weapon that could move all the rivers in the world!
"Send the order!"

"Order the iron companies of all counties and prefectures to make all-out efforts to manufacture drum carriages without delay!"

"We must install water wheels on all the major rivers in Qin State as soon as possible to irrigate the fields within a radius of 100 miles!"

“The autumn harvest must not be affected!”

"Violators will be executed immediately!"

Ying Zheng pointed at the barrel cart and gave decisive orders to all civil and military officials, his voice as solemn as a rock!
