Under the guidance of the intentional public opinion of the newspaper, the discussion about same-sex love gradually disappeared. Some people saw that the change of this matter was unshakable, and they slowly stopped.
After all, they did not dare to openly question the decision made by the Holy See.
What's more, when new things appear, people's attention will naturally shift.
This happened after Renault's recruitment examination, in a town near the Volri River in Desinia Territory.
The main source of water for the town is a tributary of the Volley River.
This river is not only a part of the town, but also provides daily water for people to fetch water for living, or to irrigate farmland for use.
However, because this summer was too hot, the water level of the tributaries of the Volley River began to drop, and the nearby shoals had no river flow.
Not to mention, letting the river flow into the town's water supply.
People in the town were forced to fetch water further afield from this tributary.
More than two months ago, the lord had sent two battalions of soldiers - they had been ordered to dig through the town in the direction of a tributary of the Volley River.
The commander of the knights who led the soldiers of the two battalions once again gathered young and strong civilians or slaves in the town to participate in the operation of digging the river.
The more people there are, the quicker the task will be.
After the call, the segmented excavation began.
During this period, most of the tools they used were invented or improved by Reynolds, and they were not only easy to use but also excavated faster.
Two months later, the excavation of the small river channel leading to the town was completed.
On this day, most of the people in the town gathered near the tributaries of the Volley River, and even some people who had work arrangements today couldn't help but push back to squeeze in time.
The commander of the knights, who was in charge of digging the channel and managing the two battalions at the same time, had his soldiers organized at the moment.
There are some lively and active children among the gathered people, and it is not advisable to run around at this time. After all, what they have to do is to dig through the last small section of the river to allow the river water from the tributaries to flow.
Undoubtedly it can be dangerous if a child is accidentally involved.
"Stand on this high ground! Don't run around... Whose is that child?! Hurry up and take it away..."
"The first and second companies are ready to dig through the river at any time, and the rest of the soldiers are waiting for orders..."
Seeing that the order at the scene was well maintained, the knight commander couldn't help but nodded, and then he looked into the distance, as if waiting for someone to appear.
And not long after, the sound of horse hooves began to be heard in the distance.
A group of soldiers came with heavy lumber.
The people in the town couldn't help being more curious, poking their necks and brains, talking to each other...
"What are those things?"
"I heard that it seems that the lord ordered someone to build... a waterwheel?" This person has relatives and lives in Wessas, so there are some sources of information channels.
However, he is not too understanding.
"Waterwheel?! A car running in water, isn't that a boat?!"
But looking at the appearance of these wood, it can't be a boat...
"It can't be a boat. As for what it is, I'll know in a while... Just wait and see."
The team leader who pulled the wood and the knight commander handed over, he said: "This is the waterwheel invented by the lord, Mr. Renault and Mr. Joseph, and it is specially used to divert water to irrigate the farmland..."
"Here is the description of the installation diagram. We also brought an engineer, and the engineer will direct the installation in a while."
The knight commander nodded in understanding.
He first took the waterwheel installation manual in the team leader's hand and looked at it carefully.
- The instruction manual not only contains installation diagrams, but also explanations for dismantling parts, spokes, scrapers, buckets...
Scraper wiper, water bucket filled with water.
When the river water rushes into the water bucket, the waterwheel will slowly turn the spokes by the inertia of the water momentum, and the water bucket filled with water will be lifted up step by step.
When the top of the waterwheel is reached, the water bucket will tilt and pour out the water, and the water will be poured into the aqueduct, and then slowly flow into the farmland that needs to be irrigated.
This is a machine that can both dredge the river and facilitate irrigation.
The joy of the knight commander was beyond words.
After reading the installation instructions, he began to order the soldiers to remove the wood tied to the carriage, etc., and transport the wood to the location where it needs to be installed.
Immediately afterwards, the engineer came forward to command, and under the orderly mobilization, the soldiers quickly installed the waterwheel.
—The large and novel-looking runner was erected under the concerted force of the soldiers, in the middle of a tributary of the Volley, near the bank.
Under the impact of the water force, the waterwheel quickly started to make a rattling sound.
The engineer shouted: "Quick, dig up the soil connecting the tributaries and the river, and let the river flow through!"
The knight commander organized the manpower, and the soldiers who had been on standby hurriedly acted.
Under the wide-eyed and amazed gazes of the townspeople, after a while, the soil that blocked the river was dug through—
"Boom".
It seemed like a huge roar resounding in the ear, the small ditches dug were soon washed away by the river water that was gradually rushing in, and the river channels dug out by manpower were slowly being filled and filled by the turbid river water...
It's an exciting scene.
Many people were amazed by it.
"In the future, it will be very convenient for us to fetch water! It can be used to irrigate the farmland after connecting the pipeline, and there is no need to rush around with buckets every time..."
"I'm no longer afraid that the nearby river beach will dry up. There will be waterwheels in the future, and the endless stream of water will be attracted!"
"Ah, praise the lord!"
"Look, the river water is gradually becoming clearer!"
…
The river is constantly flowing, and the river surface, which was originally turbid due to digging through the soil, slowly settles and becomes clear and clean.
After that, the speed of the river's flow also flattened out.
The gurgling sound of water is pleasant to the ears on a sunny day. After experiencing the grand scene just now, people's moods are still agitated, and the children are even more excited. run away.
The edge of the small river is shallow and not dangerous, and with the adults watching, the knight commander no longer restrains them.
Moreover, the task that the lord sent him to come here has been completed, and soon he will lead the soldiers back to Parshan to return to life.
The existence of river channels and waterwheels has greatly facilitated the lives of the people and alleviated the drought in some places.
Because of the deeds of convenience and benefit to the people, Lord Desinia has been highly praised by people from all over the world, including the kingdom of Bia, which is now considered a neighboring country, and the two allied countries, the Akiyayoli territory and the Anas kingdom. compliment.
These places also plan to dig through rivers and build waterwheels in the future, learning from the methods used by the Desinia Territory to cope with the drought.
As for the country of Powell, due to its location in the extreme north, it is probably the region least affected by drought.
As the praise for Lord Desinia grew, so did Renault and Joseph, who were responsible for inventing the waterwheel, and their fame spread.
It's nothing for Renault, after all, he had a lot of fame in the Territory of Desinia before.
But for Joseph, something happened.
—That is his family, the Mullen family, learned where he was, and his mother would use means to force him to go back.
Joseph is the most outstanding heir in the Mullen family. Just by looking at his inventions, you can tell that he is an extremely smart and flexible person.
How could the Mullen family let him go so easily.
What's more, this heir also took away the next heir, that is, Neil.
Joseph's mother was a very powerful woman. Her husband died very early. Through some means, Joseph's mother successfully took charge of the Mullen family.
Before Joseph took over, she was a veritable ruler of the Mullen family.
And this man does not allow Joseph to have a "disabled" wife.
After that, Joseph's resolute departure with his family made her even more angry, so after learning that Joseph had become a resident of the Territory of Desinia, she began to take measures to force Joseph to come back.
Most of these methods have caused damage to the Territory of Desinia, and some are even serious enough to report to Xia Zoe.
After Xia Zuoyi learned about it, she couldn't help sighing that sometimes a woman can't be underestimated when she is ruthless.
However, no matter what, this lady really shouldn't despise his majesty and existence, and doing such things that harm his interests in his territory will be regarded as a provocation.
Therefore, Xia Zoe neatly asked the Youth League to bring a letter to the King of Bia, Asa Derek.
However, the opening of the letter that Qingtuan brought back again surprised Xia Zuoyi.
—The letter begins with a statement saying that the interior of the Kingdom of Bia is a bit chaotic, and as a king, Asa Derek has no time to take care of other things at this time.
The most important thing is that the Mullen family is a very old-fashioned noble in the Biya Kingdom, with a lot of power, even the king can't interfere too much...
This is only the first part. At the end, Xia Zoe's eyes stopped - I wonder if the lord of Desinia is interested in the Kingdom of Bia
If you have the intention, Biya can bow his head to the court.
Xia Zuoyi stared at this line of words for a long time, and then held the letter and asked the Pope to go down.
"What does he mean? Don't you want to be king of Bia?"
Segalot didn't seem surprised by this, he said: "As Derek said in the letter, little Zoe, do you want to expand the territory."
"The situation inside the kingdom of Bia is far more complicated than you think, and there are endless battles."
"Derrick can't solve it from the inside at once, but if it breaks through from the outside, it can be eradicated immediately."
Xia Zuoyi: It feels so casual, can this have a large territory...
