Chapter 56: The Dam

Early the next morning, Xiao Tianjian got up early as usual, and first practiced boxing and kicking in the courtyard.

As soon as he walked down, his body became warm, driving away the cold on his body, and a hot air came out of his head, and then he took the big gun that Tietou sent him and played with the gun in the courtyard.

Xiao Tianjian's marksmanship can't be considered good, but after all, he has high fingers like Luo Li and Li Lingfeng, and after practicing diligently for most of the year, he has also been very good, and considering that Xiao Tianjian's martial arts foundation is not good, Luo Li didn't teach him any tricks, but picked the most practical and awe-inspiring tricks in marksmanship, and taught him the most practical and awe-inspiring tricks, focusing on practicality, so Xiao Tianjian's gun is not good-looking, but the murderous spirit is very heavy, every shot is full of strength, and every move is a killing trick, and it will definitely not be possible to perform, But it was extremely suitable for use in front of the two armies, and as soon as the guns came down, the guards standing around the courtyard shouted loudly as knowledgeable people.

The door of the wing room creaked open, Fan Yutong appeared at the door of the wing room with a somewhat lazy look, seemed to be woken up by the sound in the courtyard, a little unhappy, as soon as the door was opened, she was shivered by the cold air that came to her face, and quickly tightened the skin on her body, wrapped her slender body, and looked towards the courtyard.

And she immediately saw Xiao Tianjian who was leaping in the courtyard, her eyes lit up, so she asked the healthy woman who took care of her in front of the door: "Are you big bosses practicing martial arts so diligently every morning?" ”

The healthy woman replied: "Back to Miss's words, we people rarely see the general on weekdays, but I heard the man of my family say that our general is very diligent, it is said that he has to get up so early every day, after practicing martial arts, he has to go to the camp to check the situation everywhere, and even get up in the middle of the night to check the post, although he usually does not lose his temper, but once he finds that someone violates discipline, he is very strict, and the army is both respectful and afraid of him!"

But then again, it is really not easy for the general, it is said that at the beginning, he was alone, and later brought up a dozen brothers, step by step to develop our Xingtian Army to this point, among us, the vast majority of us, if it were not for his grace, I am afraid that they would not have known where to starve to death!

I didn't expect that now we have all grown like this, the general is still so diligent, we people, if we don't do things well, we really can't stand him! ”

From the face of this healthy woman, Fan Yutong could see how much reverence the people of Xingtianjun were for their big boss, so his understanding of Xiao Tianjian was also deepened, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't see a doorway, he only felt that Xiao Tianjian seemed to have an inexhaustible strength all over his body, and between his gestures, he exuded a kind of masculine beauty, and his heartbeat couldn't help but start to speed up again.

Fan Yutong is a little nervous about her reaction these days, she has no experience of falling in love, so she doesn't know what the reason is, in short, she has an inexplicable feeling these days, she just wants to follow this man, listen to him, watch him do things, is she in love with this Xiao Tianjian?

When he thought of this, Fan Yutong was taken aback by his own idea, and immediately denied this idea in his heart, although Xiao Tianjian is indeed extraordinary in his life, but he is still just a robber head after all, and she Fan Yutong is everyone's best girl, the identity of the two people is 108,000 miles apart, how could she fall in love with such a 'vulgar' robber leader? Impossible, absolutely impossible, it was just that she was curious about him.

Fan Yutong made an excuse for himself and forcibly denied the thought in his heart, and then he felt a lot more relaxed.

Just after breakfast, Xiao Tianjian went out again, but today Fan Yutong also followed behind him, and everyone couldn't figure out Fan Yutong's current identity in Xingtianjun, and no one dared to raise objections to prevent Fan Yutong from following Xiao Tianjian.

And where Xiao Tianjian passed, everyone immediately saluted him, and everyone had a heartfelt look of gratitude on their faces, this kind of gaze was by no means an ordinary flattery, but emanated from the bottom of people's hearts, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy, which made Fan Yutong pay attention to it.

How many things does a person have to do to make these people so reverent! From time to time, her father would give some money to the beggars, and even set up porridge shacks in some places to help the victims, but no one had ever looked at her father with such a look.

And Xiao Tianjian's attitude towards these people is not arrogant, but everywhere seems to show his smile like a spring breeze, and there is no discrimination or arrogant attitude towards these poor craftsmen.

And the situation shown to Fan Yutong in Shuangfeng Village also makes Fan Yutong feel that there is a kind of vitality everywhere, although the buildings here are simple, but they are very simple, everyone is working hard, compared to those hired workers in some of their workshops, they have to work a lot, no one supervises them at all, everyone is in full swing, and many people are almost done with a trot when they move things back and forth.

Fan Yutong didn't know how Xiao Tianjian could do this and make these people work so hard for him, so he whispered to Xiao Tianjian about this question.

"It's easy! I treat them as brothers, I don't discriminate against them, I give them fairness, I make them feel that they are human beings, not slaves, and I tell them that everything they do is related to their own vital interests, and our interests are shared! As long as there is a conscience, it is natural that you will not fail to work hard!

But at the same time, I don't indulge them, for anyone in my Xingtian Army, they must rely on their own efforts to survive here, for those who are lazy, indiscriminate, and waiting for death, I will not tolerate and accommodate them, and the Xingtian Army will never allow them to do this, these people will be expelled from the first time and left to fend for themselves!

With these two things, I think everyone will do their job with their heart, isn't that difficult? Xiao Tianjian told Fan Yutong eloquently.

After Fan Yutong heard this, he didn't continue to speak, but began to silently follow Xiao Tianjian's back, patrolling around the Shuangfeng Village.

Xiao Tianjian went everywhere, looked at the work of these craftsmen, and seemed to be able to put forward some of his suggestions more or less, and these suggestions, in the perspective of later generations, may not be worth mentioning at all, but in this era, for these craftsmen, often a small suggestion can make them suddenly open up and understand many things, and they can't help but admire Xiao Tianjian's erudition and talent, and even more admire it to the extent of throwing themselves into the ground.

Although Xiao Tianjian does not have any attainments in building a house, after all, he has heard a lot and seen a lot, and he is a mechanical power to learn in college, so in many places, he can use some of the knowledge he has learned, so he laughs at himself as a panacea, nothing is fine, but it will be cool wherever he wipes it, but many times, some things are a concept, just like a layer of window paper, no one has been poking it has not broken, and someone can immediately make people feel suddenly bright and solve a lot of problems as long as they are lightly passed.

When they walked to the stream that flowed out of the mountain in the village, Xiao Tianjian suddenly stopped beside the stream, carefully looked at the surrounding terrain, pointed to the position of the upstream of the stream and said to Zhang Chao: "This stream is a godsend for us!" This stream not only solves the problem of drinking water for people and animals in our Shuangfeng Village, but also provides enough power for our various workshops! Are there craftsmen here who can build waterwheels? ”

Zhang Chao immediately turned his head and asked a few of his craftsmen, and a middle-aged craftsman immediately stood up and replied: "No problem, the small Yu Xing, the carpenter who learned from my father in size, has made all kinds of waterwheels for people in many places before!" Does the General want to build a watermill here? The small one can be made! ”

Xiao Tianjian immediately nodded and said, "It seems that we are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here!" Anything goes! Not bad! Walk! Let's go up the stream and talk about it after we've seen it! ”

As he spoke, he led the group along the stream that passed through the village and walked upstream.

Shanxi also had a big drought in the first two years, but it was mostly spring drought and summer drought, and the south of Yangcheng is Wangwu Mountain, where there is not because of the early drought, the water source has been greatly affected, especially this autumn, the rain in the area of Wangwu Mountain is still relatively abundant, so the stream that flows through Shuangfeng Village, the amount of water is quite good, and this nameless stream, when it flows through Shuangfeng Village from the mountain, there are four steps in general, so Xiao Tianjian is very cold to this stream.

After the group walked for a while, Fan Yutong saw that the scenery here was very good, the side of the stream was covered with crystal ice, and because the stream had been in a flowing state, it was not frozen, and the stream was even clearer, and you could see all kinds of pebbles below, which were set off with the surrounding scenery, and the scenery could be said to be beautiful, so he gradually shifted his attention to the beautiful scenery here.

But Xiao Tianjian was not so leisurely and elegant, and after stopping at a place where the water of a stream was dropping, he said to Zhang Chao: "Big guy look down from here, this stream has formed a total of four drops in Shuangfeng Village, and the water flow is very fast, but it is still not suitable to build a water wheel."

Here's how I think of it, here and in the two places below, with a few small dikes, the stream can be cut off to form three large reservoirs, and then the flow can be used to build at least a few large waterwheels along the way, and a lot of small waterwheels.

In this way, whether we strike iron or grind dough, it can be solved! Now the iron all depends on manpower, grinding all rely on animal power, as long as the waterwheel is built, you can save a lot of manpower and animal power, and the output will increase significantly!

So I plan to finish the construction of the houses here as soon as possible before the end of the year, and after the end of the year, in the period before the beginning of spring, I will concentrate a part of the labor, not too much, two or three hundred people, and build a dam here and build a waterwheel. ”
