“Did the waterwheel really succeed?”

The first person to react was Old Man Shen. He stood up excitedly and ran quickly to the river.

When Third Uncle saw Old Man Shen leaving, he also stood up and called out to Old Man Shen, "Wait for me."

Uncle Six quickly helped Uncle Three up: "Dad, I'll help you go and see."

Everyone in the Shen family also walked towards the river happily.

As soon as Shen Mingzhu and her friends arrived, they saw many people surrounding the big wheel and pointing at it curiously.

Some children wanted to go forward and touch the big wooden wheel, but were stopped by the adults at home.

Shen Mingshu stood beside the big wheel, directing everyone to start releasing water.

I saw that, following Shen Mingshu's command, a group of people moved the waterwheel upstream and pushed away the large rocks blocking the dam.

With a "splash", the river water rushed towards the waterwheel. The wheels of the waterwheel rotated rapidly under the impact of the river water, and the river water was lifted by the waterwheel onto the bamboo strips that diverted water.

The river water was led up the mountain along the bamboo strips. When the people near the pool on the mountain saw the water being led up, they excitedly pulled out the plugs that blocked the water, and the river water flowed into the pool on the mountain.

When everyone saw this scene, they cheered loudly with excitement.

"The waterwheel was a success. There will never be a shortage of water in the mountains again."

Some people even ran and jumped, afraid of missing this special moment, and kept exclaiming.

"Oh my God! This is true! The water in the river can really be led to the mountain!"

"I must be dreaming! This is too incredible!"

"That's great, that's great, we don't have to carry water up the mountain anymore."

Everyone cheered, especially the men who were farming, tears welled up in their eyes.

God knows how hard farming is for them. During the busy farming season, they have to carry water up the mountain, and their shoulders are covered with scars from the shoulder poles. They start to get tired every time it rains, and their bodies are so painful that they can't even lift their arms.

Now that Shen Mingshu has invented this waterwheel that can carry water up the mountain, they no longer have to carry water up the mountain, and they no longer have to bear the heavy burden of carrying water.

The village chief and the third uncle were so excited that their eyes filled with tears. They seemed to see the fields of bountiful harvest on the mountains.

The village chief was so excited that he was speechless when he saw the turning waterwheel and the water being sent to the mountain.

Not only the people in Shenjia Village were excited, but even Shen Mingzhu was particularly excited.

She had only seen a waterwheel when she was traveling in her previous life and understood a little about its principles, but she had never actually built one.

Shen Mingzhu only provided a preliminary idea, but she didn't expect that her brother was so powerful.

Her brother actually took such a short time to arrange for someone to bring the water truck.

This is my brother’s achievement. He is so awesome!

Shen Mingzhu felt very proud. She had always lived the life of a young lady and had no idea of ​​the hardships of farmers.

After Shen Mingzhu traveled to this fictional dynasty, she realized how backward this dynasty was and how hard life was for the people here.

Shen Mingzhu looked through all the records in the books of this dynasty, and found no such farm tools as water wheels. Farmers relied on the weather for their harvest and could not even get enough food.

Floods and droughts are common here. Once a natural disaster occurs, not only will the people here lose all their crops, but many people will also starve to death.

Shen Mingzhu thought of using a waterwheel for irrigation because there was no water on the tea mountain.

Now that she had actually seen the waterwheel, her heart was filled with overwhelming emotion.

If the farmers of this dynasty were able to use waterwheels for irrigation, would it be possible to feed many hungry people?

Shen Mingzhu was thinking about this matter when she heard the endless voices praising her brother, which made her unable to think too much.

Shen Mingzhu looked towards her brother and saw an uncle holding Shen Mingshu's hand gratefully and saying excitedly:

"Mingshu, you are such a genius. You have accomplished such a heaven-defying thing. You are truly our savior!"

An old woman walked up to Shen Mingshu with tears in her eyes, grabbed Shen Mingshu's hand, and said to him excitedly:

"Mingshu! If you had created this kind of artifact when I was still alive, I wouldn't have died."

The old woman was so excited that she sobbed. She wiped her tears and said with heartache:

"My old man was carrying water up the mountain to water the wheat in the field. He was so tired that he fell to the ground. The water in the bucket spilled all over the ground, but he fell down and never got up again! He died of exhaustion from carrying water! Woo woo..."

Shen Mingshu didn't expect the villagers' reaction to be so strong. He was a little overwhelmed. He gently patted the old lady on the back and comforted her:

"Don't cry, Auntie Wang. From now on, every mountain in our village will have a canal built on it, and every mountain will have a water truck to carry water. No one will die from carrying water anymore."

Aunt Wang stopped crying and asked doubtfully, "Really? Villagers don't have to carry water up the mountain anymore?"

Shen Mingshu promised earnestly: "Really, no one will die of exhaustion from carrying water anymore."

Aunt Wang was so excited that her whole body was shaking.

She held Shen Mingshu's hand tightly, and a gleam of hope flashed in her dim old eyes. She said excitedly:

"Mingshu, you are such a kind and good child. Thank you, Mingshu, and thank you for everything you have done for the village. Auntie would like to thank you here."

After saying this, Aunt Wang was about to kneel down to Shen Mingshu, but Shen Mingshu was quick to grab Aunt Wang.

"Auntie Wang, you are my elder, you are kneeling down to me, isn't this shortening my life?"

Only then did Aunt Wang realize that she had done something she shouldn't have done. She wiped her tears and apologized to Shen Mingshu guiltily.

The village chief saw that Shen Mingshu was a little embarrassed, so he hurried forward and asked Shen Mingshu:

"Mingshu, what is the principle of this waterwheel, how did you do it?"

The village chief is still puzzled.

He didn't understand how a wheel could bring water from the river up the mountain?

That's a high mountain. From ancient times to the present, water has always flowed to lower places, but now the water is flowing to higher places. It's simply amazing.

Shen Mingshu first pointed to the dam built with large stones upstream and said:

"First, store water upstream, then use the power of water to turn the water wheel, and then use the power of water to lift the water up."

Shen Mingshu brought the village chief to the place where the waterwheel drew water, pointed to the place where the water flowed, and continued to explain the principles and uses of the waterwheel.

"In fact, water flow has great power. We can use the power of water flow to do many things..."

"With the waterwheel, as long as the river flows, water can be pumped continuously, and irrigation can continue day and night."

“Even if there is a drought in the future, as long as there is water in the river, we won’t have to worry about the crops in the fields drying up.”

Everyone took a deep breath and looked at Shen Mingshu with admiration, as if they were looking at their most admired idol.

At this moment, Shen Mingshu was extremely great in their hearts, even greater than the emperor.

Shen Mingshu brought hope to their lives! This is good news for the entire Shenjia Village!

Shen Mingshu straightened his chest amid the admiring gazes of many people.

He suddenly felt very excited and refreshed.

It turns out that being admired feels so good!

Shen Mingshu really enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped.

He has already made up his mind that if he becomes an official in the future, he must be a good official who does practical things for the people.

After all, this feeling of being truly admired by others cannot be bought with money. Only by doing practical things for the people can you gain their true love.

Shen Mingshu thought, since he liked this feeling and enjoyed it, he should do more things in this area in the future to make himself happy.

The village chief and the onlookers looked at the waterwheel as if they were seeing a rare treasure.

They listened to Shen Mingshu's explanation carefully, and everyone was very interested.

They didn't dare to be distracted, for fear of missing out on the source of this incredible knowledge, especially Shen Mingyu who was following Shen Mingshu.

Shen Mingyu looked at his brother adoringly, with stars seeming to emerge from his bright eyes.

Wow! Big brother is so awesome! He must learn from big brother and make achievements in the future so that people can admire him.

How come his older brothers and sisters are so awesome? Well, he wants to learn from them and become an awesome little bully.

Shen Mingzhu looked at her elder brother standing in the middle of the crowd, and she felt particularly proud of her brother.

Her brother is the best! Her brother is so dazzling, so handsome, and so charming.

It has to be her brother! No matter which dynasty her brother was in, he was always so outstanding and so proud.

No wonder there is a saying that gold will always shine, and her brother is that shining gold.

Here, Shen Mingshu patiently explained to everyone:

"In drought, water is pumped into the pond. In flood, water is drained out. Water pumped into the pond can achieve twice the result with half the effort in irrigating farmland."
