There is a bird in the back mountain, which should have just flown back from the south, because Gu Xinyu woke up in the morning to the call of a group of birds, lay lazily for a while, and actually heard the sound of "its autumn, its autumn", the bird's voice was melodious and pleasant, and it was the first time he heard it.

Gu Xinyu got up decisively, and took Wangcai to the outside of the courtyard wall, there is a path into the mountains and forests, but a hundred meters to the end, the weeds on the side of the road are slightly blue, Wangcai is running wildly, she raised her head and saw that there was a bird on the treetops that she had never seen before, the bird was yellow, and there was a pinch of blue fluff on its forehead, which looked very cute.

She took out a small cloth bag, which contained millet and sorghum rice, sprinkled it on the path at will, shouted back to Wangcai, and slowly trotted on the edge of the field, thinking to herself that in the initial stage, there were really too many things to do, but fortunately, there was now a capable Uncle Wang, and she had to worry a lot less.

Looking to the east, the land borders the sky, and a red sun rises at the junction of heaven and earth

Ah Shu is now able to take care of himself, the wound has already healed because of the spiritual dew of the core language, although his face is still pale, but his body is no longer weak, and his hands and feet are no longer cold, Fu Shu himself has also discovered this, because that kind of cold poison attacks twice a month, and the time has passed, but he didn't feel pain, the corners of Fu Shu's mouth are slightly upturned, is he considered a blessing in disguise?

After breakfast, Gu Xinyu arranged for him to feed the horses and cattle, Fu Shu gladly accepted, Uncle Wang patiently taught, Fu Shu listened carefully, Xinyu silently looked at Ashu who added forage to the old cow decently, and couldn't help nodding secretly, polite, smart and wise, what is even more rare is that he can bend and stretch, he is obviously a noble son, doing the work of feeding cattle, but he does not see a trace of disgust and unwillingness, such a person is better to be a friend, if it is an enemy, it will be a terrible enemy!

The preparations were made early in the morning, because the rice field was by the river, some distance from the yard of the farm, and in order to save time, everyone took their tools, got into a carriage, and quickly arrived at the land along the bluestone road. Pick up the farm tools, first make a piece of land to make a seedbed, measure the distance, and a few people will start work.

Gu Xinyu came to the river, the water flow here is gentle, the river is very wide, much lower than the field, how to get water into the field is still a problem, while thinking, while walking along the riverside, there are many wild ducks in the distance, but unfortunately before they get closer, they flew away.

Wangcai jumped on the ground in a hurry, Xinyu soothed it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, waterwheel!

How can you forget such an important water extraction tool?

The waterwheel is to use the natural impact of the water flow to take the water out of the river to irrigate the fields far away, which is a tap water project invented by the ancient working people.

Gu Xinyu doesn't know much about the waterwheel, but he has come into contact with it when he went to the field, there is a local waterwheel, the diameter of the wheel spokes is nearly 17 meters, and the end of the spokes is equipped with a scraper and a rectangular water bucket, which can be manually and also used to use the natural water flow in the peak water season to push the water from the river and flow into the field.

Gu Xinyu hurriedly called Uncle Wang and told him his thoughts, Uncle Wang has been in Jiangnan for a long time and knows something about waterwheels, but they are all relatively bulky, and the feeling described by Xinyu is very light and saves labor, but I don't know if the local carpenter can make it.

There are grasslands and forests in the north here, as well as endless fields, the ecological environment is very good, and the precipitation in summer is enough for the growth of crops in the fields, so the requirements of the waterwheel are not high, and the initial construction of paddy fields can be guaranteed.

Uncle Wang is a man of action, and immediately drove the carriage to Dujia Village, found the old man Du, the old man went to the neighboring village to find two carpenters, and added the old carpenter in Dujia Village, the old man recommended himself, saying that he could help, and Uncle Wang readily agreed.

A big cart pulled people and tools, and the old man Du saw the little boy standing on the shore, and Uncle Wang introduced that it was a person from the main family, and the old man was about to kowtow, so panicked that Gu Xinyu hurriedly supported him.

"Little boy, the brothers of San Lang are working here, and they are taken care of, so that these boys have clothes to wear, food to eat, and wages to pay, and even the old man's family has borrowed money, and I have long wanted to come and kowtow to you"

Gu Xinyu hurriedly stopped the old man's words: "Old man, you are too polite, San Lang brothers, they are responsible for people, hard-working, and serious in their work, they are rare talents, and I have to thank you for the good son raised by the old man!" She didn't hesitate to praise.

The old man laughed happily when he heard this, he was a cheerful person, so he stopped inking, and a few people checked the environment first, and after the old carpenters understood the general principle of the waterwheel, they went to the town with Uncle Wang to buy some wood, plus some of the farm's original storage, and built a simple shed by the river, and started construction!

Gu Xinyu took a few people to build paddy fields, which was built in accordance with the model of rice field fish farming, after the seedbed was turned over, first dig a good fish collection ditch, increase the height of the ridge and slightly widen it, divide the rice field into squares, and turn it over piece by piece, in order to prevent the fish from eating early rice seedlings, at the same time to build a good fish fence, the material for blocking the fish is made of wicker, the old man Du is ingenious, the small basket is durable and good-looking, this task is handed over to the old man, and he will start to make it after he finishes the waterwheel.

In the early days, because several carpenters had never been to the south, they had no image of the waterwheel, and after Gu Xinyu drew the shape of the waterwheel completely, everyone immediately understood, and the work was carried out in an orderly manner.

As for the rice fields, this group of young people has always maintained a high degree of enthusiasm for building paddy fields and planting rice on the northern land, because some people here have never eaten a grain of rice in their lives.

And Gu Xinyu does not hide or hide his secrets, Xiao Tao is responsible for recording, some things do not understand, she patiently teaches, Xiao Tao has been studying with Gu Xuan since he was a child, and at this time he is gradually getting his hands on, and the record is done in a good way, Wang Bo saw it in his eyes one by one, and he became more and more interested in this land in his heart, and at the same time he was more in awe of Gu Xinyu!

Gu Xinyu had the intention of imparting these agricultural knowledge, and she knew that only when a country is rich and strong, as a common person, can she enjoy life more peacefully!

Gu Xinyu stood next to the waterwheel, watching the thin stream of water under the excited trampling of Shiro Goro, passing through the long wooden trough, flowing into a reservoir next to the paddy field, and slowly flowing through the reservoir to the rice field that had been formed, Gu Xinyu's heart was full of excitement and pride!

At this time, Gu Xinyu didn't realize that in this backward era, she was leading a group of farmers to quietly carry out an epoch-making agricultural reform in the northern land!
