Chapter 1112 Wuquanjing

Li Shuanzhu is also someone who has seen big events now. He has just drilled three oil wells in the Bohai Sea, and Sitong is building an oil refinery there.

This solved some urgently needed material problems in Hebei's large-scale construction. Zhao Xu issued orders and commendations, and promoted Li Shuan to become a doctor in Yubu.

In foreign countries, national integrity must be respected. Among the fifth-rank doctors of the Ministry of Industry, even if they have no job, they must wear red robes.

However, it is clearly a civil official's five-pin red robe. When worn on Li Shuanshuo, it looks like the robe of the Forbidden Army. With his burly figure and big beard, and holding a big wrench in his hand, he looks like a warrior.

.

Li Shuanzhao touched the child's head and said, "Don't make trouble, gong. Go hide from the master's wife. Be careful not to be stepped on by the horse."

Luo'er expressed that he was brave: "No, I protect Master!"

Li Shuanzhu couldn't help but laugh: "Silly boy! They are here to beg us, not to fight. How can we protect them?"

Soon the cavalry formed a formation and surrounded the Song camp. An official from the Liao State's Ministry of Rites accompanied Chen Yi, the political counselor of the South Academy of Liao, and said: "Hold up, brother, Chen Yi, the political counselor, is here to see you."

Chen Yi was a genuine scholar-bureaucrat in the Liao Kingdom. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw the shackles: "Since when were the wat boards in the Song Dynasty made of iron?"

When Li Shuanshuan heard this, he quickly threw away the wrench in his hand, put down the front hem and sleeves of his clothes, took out the real wat board from the back of his waist, and flicked it on his head, and the two coiled wings snapped open:

"We are just waiting for the arrival of your emperor. Take the time to debug the overhead crane. What's going on? Are you leaving now?"

Chen Yi was a little surprised and doubtful when he heard that he had never received any formal education from a scholar-bureaucrat: "I heard that you are the sworn brother of Duke Yu, the head of the seven disciples of the Earth Temple in Meishan, and a disciple of Dasu and Xiaosu?"

Chen Yi had seen the scholarly attitude of the Su family and its disciples. Su Che and Chao Buzhi were walking sideways and rolling over each other in the Liao academic circles.

But the person in front of me, well, is not like a scholar-bureaucrat from the Song Dynasty, but more like a palace tent commander from the Liao Dynasty.

Li Shuanzhao let out an "ouch" and said, "It was the young master's promotion. At that time, people were almost starving to death. It was the young master who took us in, taught us how to make food and clothing with our own hands, and taught us literature, science, and engineering. In fact, he was both a teacher and a father."

"We just took advantage of our age. The young master insists on treating each other as brothers, but we don't dare to think so in our hearts."

"The elder sir and the younger sir were sometimes brought in by the young master to give us lessons during their vacations. Therefore, it is rumored that we are the disciples of these two gentlemen. In fact, we only have a rough knowledge of writing."

"We would never dare to admit that he is a disciple, even if we are afraid of making Shilin laugh out loud."

After hearing these words, Chen Yi actually liked this rough and straight man: "Are you sure you can get water today? I've staked my future on it."

Li Shuanzhu said: "Before coming, the young master specifically told me that Chen Shenzheng is one of the few sensible people in Daliao and a friend of the company. He has long admired him. Therefore, these wells must be drilled."

"Actually, the water was released last night, but according to the requirements of participating in politics, it was changed to today. Look, the trains are all stopped now. We are doing maintenance on the way to make sure everything is safe."

Chen Yi smiled: "Very good, then please come with us, His Majesty wants to see you. Be careful with your words and don't lose etiquette."

The three of them arrived at the Liao people's central army formation, passed through the shamans and monks who were still working hard to dance, chant and beg for rain, and entered a huge leather tent.

Yelu Hongji and his grandson Yelu Yanxi were receiving the worship of the ministers and tribal leaders. Chen Yi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shuanzhu, the doctor of the Yu Department of the Song Dynasty, and the director of the Survey Department of Sitong Company are here to see you."

Yelu Hongji waved, and Li Shuanshuo stepped forward: "Foreign minister Li Shuanshuo has met His Majesty the Liao Dynasty and the young prince."

People are like iron towers, and their voices are like loud bells. Yelu Hongji likes these giant men the most: "The doctor is actually a good man. He should fight in battle and serve the country. The Song Dynasty used people in the wrong place."

Li Shuanshao bowed: "Being a general, in addition to fighting for your duty, you also need to predict the wind and weather, observe the mountains and rivers, have wisdom, trust, benevolence, courage and strictness, all of which are indispensable. As for physical fitness, that is just the foundation."

"Tianzhu Kong has a good physique, but he lacks wisdom, is dull in intelligence, and is late in learning. He has no choice but to follow some tricks passed down from his family and serve his country."

"However, the younger one is Yingwu, who also inherited the physique of the foreign minister, and is now serving under the banner of the Western Army."

Yelu Hongji smiled and said: "You can say these words, but you are not ignorant. What happened today seems to be successful?"

Li Shuanshuo was full of confidence: "As long as His Majesty gives the order, within an hour, the five wells will all spring up together."

"Okay!" Yelu Hongji said with a smile: "If it comes true, I will not hesitate to reward you!"

Li Shuanshuo bowed: "If your Majesty is interested, you can also take a look."

Chen Yi quickly stopped: "Your Majesty, you can't. That is the camp of the Song people. If there is a conflict, the country will suffer a great loss."

"Joke!" It was better not to say it. After hearing this, Yelu Hongji immediately stood up and said: "If I am invited by a strong man, as the leader of Liao, I dare not enter and patrol in my own country. That would be a great loss of state!

"

"Show me! I want to go and have a look!"

Arriving at Song Camp, Yelu Hongji looked at the five huge overhead cranes and the cow-pulled pulley below: "This thing is really big..."

Li Shuanzhu said: "Actually, this well is equipped with a wind-powered waterwheel and is ready for use. However, the young master has told us that Song and Liao are brothers, so we must build the best well for Your Majesty."

"Therefore, I am planning to drill through the water layer for Your Majesty to form a self-water fountain to entertain Your Majesty. This will also save five windmills for use elsewhere."

Yelu Hongji was very satisfied: "If you didn't tell us, we wouldn't even know. It's rare for you to be so honest and diligent."

"If we can get a mouthful of eight thousand guan from the fountain, then... we have an advantage?"

Li Shuanshuo cupped his hands and said: "This is a natural geographical advantage and a great blessing to Your Majesty. We are just doing business."

"When His Majesty places an order, even if it is our Sitong customer, we can bring the greatest benefit to the customer without increasing our own costs. This is our Sitong's business philosophy."

Yelu Hongji laughed loudly: "With such a... concept, it is no wonder that you can do business in the Liao Kingdom. We in the Liao Kingdom also welcome such merchants!"

Li Shuanshuo took off the brass horn from his waist: "Then, Your Majesty, shall we start now?"

Yelu Hongji was interested again: "What is that?"

Li Shuanzhu presented the copper trumpet: "Oh, this is the copper trumpet. It makes a lot of noise. We agreed that the sound of the trumpet will be regarded as a letter and the construction of the five wells will start at the same time."

Yelu Hongji took the brass trumpet and said, "Can I blow it?"

Li Shuanshuo said to Nan Ran: "This... still requires some skills and requires training."

Yelu Hongji handed him the bronze horn: "Then let's get started."

Li Shuanzhuo called Luo'er over: "His Majesty ordered, start work!"

Luo'er took the copper horn and put it to his mouth, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep -

The strong oxen beside the five wells began to pull the huge windlass. The windlass drove gears and iron chains, transmitting the power all the way to the top of the crane.

The gear on the top of the crane began to rotate, lifting the rope, and lifted the one-ton chisel head at the bottom of the well for a certain distance.

When the rope rotated to a certain extent, the clutch pawl on the side of the gear automatically bounced up, the pulley driving the rope lost its brake, and the chisel head suddenly fell, hitting the rock formation at the bottom of the well.

Li Shuan had learned the true story of Li Laoshuan, and his judgment on the thickness of the rock formation was extremely accurate. In less than an hour, the rock formations under five wells were penetrated one after another.

Yelu Hongji was still playing with the bronze horn: "This is a sharp weapon. Our country, Liao, can put it to great use..."

At this moment, five springs gush out almost simultaneously, as high as half a man!

Chen Yi was overjoyed and danced prostrate: "Your Majesty is here in person, the five springs are offering blessings, God bless the Liao Dynasty, and may the world be prosperous forever! Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Three hundred thousand people knelt on the ground and worshiped together, shouting loudly: "God bless the Liao Dynasty, may the world be prosperous forever! Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Li Shuanzhu took a bowl of clear spring in a copper bowl and presented it to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty."

Yelu Hongji was so excited that he splashed the water into the sky: "Sir, this is a magical skill! God bless the Liao Dynasty! Many officials and people use the water to make water fertile, drink by themselves, and pray to God for rain to relieve my drought!"

Then we entered the carnival. The water from the five fountains was very strong and merged into one stream along the terrain, and then flowed into the creek.

The water in the stream suddenly became larger, and soon filled up the dam that had been blocked before and formed a pond. Then it overflowed the dam and flowed downstream.

Three hundred thousand people and horses flocked to the stream. Many people went down to the stream and splashed each other with clear water. The laughter and neighing of the people and horses formed a sea of ​​joy.

In order to entertain their emperor, the officials of the Group of Animal Husbandry Department released all the horses in the stables. The horses were thirsty for a long time and couldn't help but run towards the stream.

Accompanied by Li Shuanshuo, Yelu Hongji climbed to the high platform of the overhead crane. Seeing this spectacular scene, he couldn't help but pull Li Shuanshuo's arm: "Look, doctor, can I be strong in Daliao?"

Li Shuanzhuo was very honest: "The soldiers and horses are strong and the people are loyal. Your Majesty is truly the British Lord of Liao."

At this moment, a crying voice came from under the sky carriage: "If the heaven dies, I will——"
