Chapter 1828
Everyone was shocked and took a step forward.
I saw the sky suddenly darken, a strong wind weakened and then strengthened, blowing straight to the southwest from a distance, and turned into a violent wind in an instant!
Hoo, ho, ho!!
Everyone's hair was blown flying, and their eyes could not be opened. Looking at the continuously rotating windmill device, the black people burst into ecstasy, and then knelt down to thank God.
"Hahaha, it's coming, it's coming, Pindao, what are you talking about, is the wind coming?" Yang Wei raised his chest and raised his head, looking like he was very powerful.
Zhou Jian showed a smile and loosened his clenched fists: "This wind speed should be enough to drive all the windmill devices. According to estimates, the water will arrive in ten hours at most!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, and I believe that today's wind will continue until tomorrow. If you are lucky, it may even rain!" Yang Wei said seriously.
"Really?" Tian Wenli and others' excited eyes shone.
"Of course!" Yang Wei nodded.
The governor of Liangzhou and many officials heard this and their eyes turned red and they were extremely excited: "That's great, that's great. Your Majesty is really a blessing to the people. If Your Majesty doesn't come, there will be no way out for Liangzhou!"
Zhou Jian smiled faintly and said, it is impossible to memorize ideas like this all the time.
"..."
About nine hours later, after a long wait, everyone stood motionless in the strong wind until they saw a large amount of river water pouring into the ditch.
Wow!
The water splashed everywhere and poured into the reservoir, and the flow was continuous. The amount was no less than that of the water pumps of later generations. Wherever it passed, all the dry land was moistened.
The whole place erupted into exclamations, and the people danced and got carried away with excitement: "It's coming, it's coming!"
"We have water for irrigation!"
"Heaven will not destroy me, Liangzhou, God will never destroy me, Liangzhou!"
"I will thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" The whole audience shouted, knelt down and saluted. In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Jian was completely deified!
At this moment, Zhou Jian felt completely relieved, and his clenched fists unclenched, unable to conceal his excitement.
He is not arrogant. It has always been his pursuit to do something for this nation. He turned and looked at Pei Beiyin aside: "Shui Zhen brought you the potato seeds and other crops. They should be able to arrive within three days."
, then it’s up to you!”
Pei Beiyin's face was also flushed, and he leaned over excitedly and said, "Yes!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as there is water, I will definitely be able to make Liangzhou gain something during the autumn harvest. By next spring's harvest, Liangzhou will be self-sufficient, at least it will not drag other states back!" she said extremely seriously.
"Okay!" Zhou Jian had great trust in her, then he took three steps forward, looked at the dark sea of people with black hair, and shouted: "Pass my order, the irrigation begins!"
"Every household is participating, and the court will provide all assistance!"
"And I hereby promise all my fellow villagers that the imperial court will not levy any taxes on Liangzhou's harvest this year. No one will dare to deduct the amount you plow and earn!"
The sound was huge and resounded throughout the southwest farmland.
