"When I was in the southwest, the reason why I was able to make great contributions to the flood control was also an early warning in my dream. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoTo put it bluntly, it is with the prophet that I am fully prepared, so that I can grasp the opportunity and be able to come up with the appropriate method! ”

An Hongyuan smiled slightly, and said frankly, neither publicly, nor ashamed. In any case, because of him, tens of thousands of people were saved. This is the accumulation of virtue, and it is also something to be proud of.

He said very sincerely: "Painting brocade, there are several things after that, and what my uncle has seen in his dreams has come true." Therefore, my uncle felt that the drought would definitely come, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to buy a large amount of grain and make a lot of money when the time came! ”

After speaking, he looked at the Oriental Painting Brocade with anticipation, hoping to gain her approval.

Dongfang Huajin nodded: "This idea is good, I think it is feasible!" ”

An Hongyuan blushed, gritted his teeth and said the words in his heart: "But, my uncle has no money, can you lend me three thousand taels of silver?" If you make it, you will get seven or three profits; If you lose, the loss is all your uncle's! ”

Dongfang Huajin's heart warmed, and he waved his hand proudly: "How can this work?" In this way, I will pay the capital, whether it is a loss or a gain, it will be half a cent! Also, how can three thousand taels of silver be enough? I gave my uncle 30,000 taels, whether it was to buy food or anything else, it was all up to my uncle! If you don't have enough manpower, my uncle said, I can transfer a dozen people for you! ”

An Hongyuan's eyes moistened suddenly, and his voice was a little choked: "Okay, thank you Huajin for your trust in my uncle, my uncle will definitely not let you down!" ”

He must work hard and plan with his heart, and strive to make the 30,000 taels of silver become 50,000 taels! Even, more!

After thinking about it for a while, Dongfang Huajin proposed: "Uncle, you can set aside a part of this grain, and pre-select two or three large landlords in the suburbs of Beijing who are of good character, and exchange the grain for some fertile land at that time." When there is no market for grain to be priced, it is estimated that at most 20 catties of grain can be exchanged for one acre of good fertile land! Let's not be greedy, change five or six hundred acres, at most a thousand acres, and then we will stop! ”

An Hongyuan nodded approvingly: "Well, what you said is very right, too much will make people red." If one is not good, the imperial history will find trouble! It's better to tentatively set 600 acres, I have 300 acres, and you have 300 acres. Isn't that good? ”

Dongfang Huajin nodded: "Just listen to my uncle, but if it's a coincidence, it's not bad to change to a thousand acres." "If you change more, you can also buy a grange for each brother and sister at that time.

An Hongyuan: "Well, we'll see when the time comes." "Anyway, it's enough for him to have 300 acres, too much, and I'm really worried that he will be slandered by people who are jealous of him for being greedy and taking bribes. The extra ones can be distributed to Ye Mao and Yun Jin.

Dongfang Huajin suddenly remembered something, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his tone: "Uncle, I met a person by chance before, and that person described to me a tool for irrigation called a waterwheel. Having this waterwheel is a great benefit for growing crops, especially those near the big rivers and hubas! Didn't you say there was a drought? If you have this waterwheel, you will be able to greatly alleviate the drought and harvest more food! ”

When An Hongyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Waterwheel? Can you tell me more about it? ”

Dongfang Huajin nodded, and tried to organize the language: "The waterwheel uses human or animal power as the power to lift the water through pipes, tubes, sinks and other mechanical parts. In high places, water is sucked up by water wheels, which is convenient for watering. There is a pedal type, and it can also be driven by mules and horses......"

She searched her intestines and scraped her stomach, and with great brains, she finally described the general structure of the waterwheel.

An Hongyuan still looked at her with blank eyes, his face full of expectation, and in silent language, urging her to describe in more detail.

Dongfang Huajin made a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Little uncle, I'm not a craftsman who is good at this, I know that." After a pause, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "That's good, I'm good at drawing, I'll draw you a sketch!" In this way, there will be more images, not like the verbal description, which makes people a little confused.

Although she doesn't know much about how the waterwheel was built, she can still draw the general appearance. In her previous life, she had seen the entity of the waterwheel, and she had also searched for pictures of the waterwheel on Baidu.

An Hongyuan immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "This is very good!" Painting brocade, you are really a great fortune star of my little uncle! "No, it's simply the great lucky star of the green country, and the great lucky star of the people of Limin!

The sketch was quickly drawn, and a research and development team was set up by the carpenters and blacksmiths of Huali Villa, and Dongfang Huajin gave an order to everyone to strive to develop a qualified waterwheel within three months.

An Hongyuan took a few people who could be used, a basket of green vegetables and fruits, a few bouquets of flowers, and a sketch of a waterwheel, and left happily.

Every three days, Oriental Painting Brocade will let people send vegetables and melons to Uncle Xingfuli's house, and Uncle Mu Xiuri will come back to Huali Villa, so he will bring some back by himself. These things are naturally produced in Huali Villa.

In her uncle's house, she arranged for several loyal and honest subordinates: a middle-aged couple with a fifteen-year-old boy, the man named Fang Li, was appointed as a housekeeper, and his wife played the role of a cook. Fang Li's son, Xiaoshan, has some talent in martial arts, and he has learned a few excellent moves. As a guard, a scholar and a long-term follower, he followed An Hongyuan's side.

In addition, there are three twelve or thirteen-year-old boys, one is a little boy, doing some errands. The other two are also An Hongyuan's personal guards, as long as An Hongyuan goes out, they will follow him, protect his safety, and do some errands by the way.

******

The little uncle will make a fortune just around the corner. Oriental Painting Brocade entrusted people and began to show their little uncle others, but this was naturally quiet.

All of this was not hidden from An Hongyuan, but Oriental Painting Brocade often chatted with his uncle and talked about the girls of this and that family. After going back and forth, he finally figured out the type he liked, and he generally knew what kind of girl was suitable for him.

Yun Jin happily: "Great, my little uncle is really not small, it's time to get married!" ”

Xun Feng was also very happy: "Well, the little uncle is married, and the happy house can really be regarded as a home!" "My uncle's home lacks a sense of home, no wonder he always likes to run to Huali Villa whenever he has time.

Yun Jin was a little worried: "Eldest sister, do you say that the little uncle will take a concubine?" ”
