Chapter 103
After several days of day and night exploration, more than a dozen carpenters finally made this waterwheel abrasive.
Rong Ning is no stranger to it, this has appeared in the ancient times of the Heavenly Dynasty, I don't know why, Daliang's craftsmanship is not up to this kind of process, sit all the way down, she has never seen a similar waterwheel.
The people of the village have also seen this model, and although they do not yet understand how this thing can resist flood and drainage, when they see such a wonderful thing being made, their confidence is doubled, and they work harder.
But in the midst of this, there was an unseemly man, sitting alone on the edge of the field, with a straw in his mouth, and an unhappy expression on his face.
"Yan Wei, so many people are working, why are you just a cheater? You're not kind! ”
Rolling up his sleeves on the side, the hot dog saw that Yan Wei was not doing anything, and ran over a little angrily.
"It's just that you are stupid," Yan Wei snorted and spit out the straw in his mouth, "You don't get paid for doing things for others in vain, you say you're not stupid, what are you?" ”
He lay down on the ground with his hands on the back of his head: "I Yan Wei don't want to be that wronged boss, I want to go to you, I won't do it." ”
These days, the weather finally cleared, and the water in the field slowly drained down the ditch they had dug, and the crops were spared.
However, the real rainy season has not yet arrived.
The dog threw the shovel aside dissatisfiedly: "What stupid thing are you talking about, is it possible that this device has not benefited your family after it was built?" Laugh at us now for being stupid, and then I don't know how to take advantage of us! ”
"Humph!" Yan Wei's eyes were full of anger. "Not to mention whether the device can be built, even if it is built, I, Yan Wei, will not take advantage of him! I have said that the land will die sooner or later, but it is better to put it out, and if you don't believe it, just wait for the great disaster.1 I will do what I say! ”
After saying that, he took a sip and walked home without looking back.
"Phew, what a neuropathy!"
The dog was angry, and he kindly came to persuade Yan Wei. was beaten by him. When he went back with a sullen stomach, others saw him sullen and asked him what happened, and then comforted him and said, "It's completely that he doesn't know what to do." But you're okay on weekdays. Don't come to him. It's just annoying! ”
The speaker looked around and saw that everyone was busy with their own business, and did not pay attention to the two of them. Only then did he lower his voice and leaned into the dog's ear and said:
"I heard that Yan Wei didn't know what kind of people he had set up outside, and he wanted us to get rid of the territory, so that he could earn some kickbacks. But this matter has always been pressed by Lizheng, and there is no guò. ”
"Is it the land of the whole village?" Seeing him nodded, the dog had incredulity in his eyes: "Who the hell is this?!" What a big breath! But ......" Godan's voice gradually weakened: "According to our previous days, what difference does it make if this territory is not taken out?" It's not the same as waiting for death. But since the arrival of the Lifter, our lives have hope......"
"Yes," the person next to him nodded in agreement, "It's a good thing that Li Zheng didn't agree at the time, otherwise we wouldn't even have any land now......"
Farmers like them, without land, can only sell coolies when they go out, and their lives will definitely not be better than they are now.
The two whispered a few more words, and went to work.

After pondering for half a month, the waterwheel began to take shape. They only experimented in this half of the field in Yunjia Village, but at this initial level, it was already exciting to be unable to help themselves.
The water from the mountain road is passed down, and the water can be transported to the river smoothly through the rotation of the waterwheel, and it will not accumulate in the fields.
In addition, people dug many ravines around the field, and according to the design drawings provided by Rong Ning, they made a big thing called "cement pipe" and buried it underneath, and there was no water in the test field.
"The sky has eyes...... The sky has eyes, and it really made me wait for ......" Li Zheng sighed, and did not forget to kneel down and kowtow to Rong Ning three times: "Thank you for the grace of the son, your kindness is unforgettable for the people of our Yunjia Village, and I will remember it for the rest of my life......"
"Yes, the son of Juren is really like the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and he is full of great wisdom, so we can't look at it enough......"
The people in the village are not literate, but the words they speak are simple and sincere. They used to think that Li Zheng's attitude was too exaggerated, and a prestigious and talented old man would actually kneel like a fledgling boy, but now they all feel that three kowtows are not enough.
"Big guy, get up quickly," Rong Ning couldn't cry or laugh, for so many days, he had calmly accepted his identity as a master, "I just did what I should do, you don't have to be too grateful." Besides, you deserve this qiē, and if you don't contribute by yourself, you won't be able to build a waterwheel. ”
The crowd was busy saying that they didn't dare.
They all know that Rong Ning named the device a waterwheel, on the one hand, they felt that it was appropriate in their hearts, and on the other hand, they also admired the selfless heart of the son.
These days, not only the county order of their county, but even the newly appointed Taishou was alarmed and personally went to Yunjia Village to supervise. The big guy saw that even Lord Taishou's attitude towards the son was also respectful, and he didn't dare to slack off at this time.
Rong Ning then briefly said the news that she was leaving the next day, asking the big guys to be diligent and hurry up, and build the waterwheels of the whole village before the rainy season comes, so that they can be witnesses for other places.
How could everyone disagree, they all nodded like chickens pecking rice, half grateful, half reluctant to look at her.
Rong Ning only pretended not to see it, how could there be a banquet in the world that would not be dispersed, which was also the first major event she did after coming to the Daliang Dynasty.
Before leaving, she took advantage of everyone's inattention, and quietly said to Li Laohan and Mrs. Li: "You two relax for the time being, I will pay attention to the matter of the sweet girl, maybe she is fine at all, don't worry too much, live in peace." ”
Mrs. Li was grateful, and she was about to kneel down on the spot, but she was supported by Rong Ning, so she raised her hand and wiped her tears, and said: "Girl, I really don't know how to thank you, I just hope that my wife can make cattle and horses for you in the next life, and make grass and rings, to repay your great kindness......"
These days, Mrs. Li has been following the public to call him a son in front of outsiders, and only when she is in private like this, will she call her a girl.
Rong Ning hurriedly stopped Mrs. Li from going down, she smiled: "Mother-in-law, didn't you let me lose my life?" You and grandpa live a good life, this is serious. ”
Mrs. Li burst into tears and laughed, and the old man Li, who was silent on the side, also held the old woman's hand tightly, although he didn't say anything, the gratitude in his eyes would not deceive.
What Rong Ning didn't say was that she secretly put some silver in their second old man's house. Give them face to face will definitely not accept it, only in this way can they live a worry-free life for a period of time. (To be continued.) )
