Chapter 177: A New Type of Waterwheel

If you want to do your duty well, you will be able to have clothes to wear and dry food to eat, and the three hundred households will be transferred by Liu Yiyi at once. On weekdays, they work hard and sleeplessly, what is the picture, isn't it just food and clothing?

Now that some people say that they can satisfy them, how can they not attract their attention?

Liu Yiyi smiled and nodded with satisfaction, the reaction of the tenant farmers was completely unexpected, he knew that these tenant farmers must not be able to resist the temptation of the word 'food and clothing'.

"Ten cents a month, there will be food supply distribution after the autumn harvest, ploughing six days off, and the bonus will be calculated separately when the farm is busy," Liu Yiyi took two steps back and forth, and finally glanced at Li Dechen, and said: "Some specific arrangements and rules, Uncle Li will explain to you in detail in a while, I will not elaborate on them one by one here, if there are any problems, you can ask Uncle Li, I still have something, so I won't stay here for a long time." ”

After speaking, Liu Yiyi nodded at Li Dechen, and then walked away.

Collecting the hearts of these 300 tenant farmers and soothing their state of mind, which seemed to be a little flustered because of the change of owners, was the main purpose of Liu Yiyi's summoning of these tenant farmers today.

He didn't want his employees to be flustered and scared and work for him.

Now looking at the expressions of these tenant farmers, longing, expectation, and hope, they no longer have the panic they had when they first arrived. Yanagichichi knew that his purpose had been achieved. As for the remaining specific details, just leave it to Li Dechen, a dedicated little leader.

"Fellow countrymen," Liu Yiyi had just walked with his front foot, and Li Dechen immediately stood up. He quickly took out three pieces of silver from his bosom. Throw it on the ground casually, sonorous and loud.

Li Dechen glanced at the three hundred newly arrived tenant farmers with a smile. He said to them: "These silver coins are the first month's salary that the owner has advanced to everyone, ten yuan per person, and I will help solve everyone's family dilemma first." ”

Seeing that the six hundred eyes were successfully attracted by him, Li Dechen chuckled lightly and continued: "But before that. Xiao Lao'er still has to explain to you the rules of doing things here in the owner's house, I hope you can listen carefully in your ears and keep it in your heart, otherwise you will be kicked out of the house by the owner in the future, but you can't complain about others. First"

Then, Li Dechen began to talk about it.

And the three hundred tenant farmers, with those three large sums of money on the ground, also seemed to have found hope. They all sat there obediently, listening to Li Dechen's words very carefully, for fear that they would miss a word.

Seeing this, Liu Yiyi nodded slightly. That's when I really walked away.

After that, the three hundred tenant farmers. began to pull up the more than 20 ploughing cattle of the Lao Liu family, either manpower or ox power, and reclaimed the 300 hectares of wasteland little by little.

Because they had money and food, they worked very hard, and in just one month, they succeeded in cultivating 130 hectares of wasteland. For this reason, Liu Yiyi also specially added an extra bonus of one penny to each of them, so that these people were so happy that they didn't close their mouths, and they worked harder again.

"Mr. Liu," early in the morning, Su Chen ran to Lao Liu's house again and gave Liu Yiyi a salute, this is the thirty-first trip he has made in the past month.

Since the first time he came, Su Chen no longer let Du Zhigui accompany him, every time he came to Lao Liu's house with Su An, he would stay here for a whole day, and this time he came and went, and he became one with the people of the Liu family, not only won the favor of Lao Liu and Liu He, but also became very familiar with Liu Xiaohui.

Every time Su Chen came, Liu Xiaohui would pester him to play for a while, and the intimacy was almost higher than that of Liu Yiyi, the eldest brother, which made Liu Yiyi very delicious.

And in addition, there is an even more infuriating point, that is, Liu He's family will let Su Chen enter the silkworm room? This kid seems to be better at raising silkworms than Liu He's family, and when it comes to silkworm raising technology, the head is the way, one by one, and every time he nods his head and says yes, he treats this Su Chen as a master.

"Oh, Brother Su Chen," Liu Yiyi got up and greeted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Su Chen came just in time, No, this is a new post written by Liu for Brother Su last night, Brother Su Chen will practice like this for a while, and you don't need to learn Liu's calligraphy from anyone anymore." ”

Reaching out to hand over the paper sticker, Liu Yiyi looked at Su Chen with a smile.

In fact, for this son-in-law, Liu Yiyi still admires it very much, not to mention that he is handsome, this head is also very smart, and his attainments in calligraphy are beyond his reach. After a month of simple practice, the Songti characters he wrote were even more rounder than those he had practiced for three or five years, and they were more like Songti characters.

Moreover, not only Song characters, Su Chen is also very good at italics, official calligraphy, and grass, and the characters written out often make Liu Yiyi feel blushing and ashamed.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu," Su Chen stretched out his hands to paste the paper

Put his heart in his arms, and then respectfully gave Liu Yiyi a salute, "After this month's practice, Chen has benefited a lot from this Liu's calligraphy, thanks to Mr. Liu's selfless teaching, please accept Chen's worship." ”

"Hehe, Brother Su Chen is polite." Liu Yiyi stretched out his hand to support Su Chen's shoulders, and said with a chuckle: "Everyone is just learning from each other, it doesn't have to be like this." ”

After speaking, Liu Yiyi took Su Chen's little hand affectionately and walked out of the door, saying to him as he walked: "Some time ago, didn't Brother Su Chen always ask Liu how to use the well to irrigate the fields, and today Liu will take you to a place to open your eyes." ”

Liu Yiyi patronized himself to talk and walk, but he didn't notice that Su Chen, who was holding his hand, was already full of red glow at this time, and Su An, who was following them, was also angry at him, and he couldn't wait to come up and beat Liu Yiyi.

"Huh?" When he arrived in front of the carriage, Liu Yiyi saw Su Chen, whose face was flushed, as if it was very abnormal, and couldn't help but habitually reach out and touch his forehead, so he said to Su Chen with concern: "Brother Su Chen, your forehead is so hot, is it cold?" ”

was touched by Liu Yiyi's forehead, Su Chen's little face turned even redder, he broke away from the little hand held by Liu Yiyi, lowered his head, and said to Liu Yiyi in a low voice: "Lao, Mr. Lao Liu is worried, the morning is fine, just being blown down by the cool breeze, just take a rest." ”

"Young master, please get in the car." Su An stepped forward and stuck between Liu Yiyi and Su Chen, squeezed Liu Yiyi aside, and gently helped Su Chen to board the carriage, and then he himself followed, making Liu Yiyi feel very inexplicable, how could this old man Su, who had always been amiable, suddenly seem to be a different person?

Shaking his head, Liu Yiyi didn't think much about it, raised his legs and sat on the outer seat of the carriage, and drove the carriage to Xia'er Village with a whip.

After such a month, Yuan Fang should have done almost the same thing for that thing, right?

"Mr. Liu," in the carriage, after a long time, Su Chen eased up, and asked Liu Yiyi outside the car in a low voice: "Just now Mr. said that he wanted to take Chen to see the thing used for well irrigation, I don't know what it is?" ”

"Well," Liu Yiyi raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Su Chen will know when he sees it in the place, and now Liu and you can't talk clearly." Brother Su Chen just stayed for a while. ”

It's time for a cup of tea, and the Yuan Mansion has arrived.

Liu Yiyi stopped the carriage, got up and jumped to the ground, and invited Su Chen and Su An to come down. Seeing that Su Chen's complexion had returned to normal, he was relieved.

Liu Yiyi nodded at them, then got up and called the door, and after a while, Yuan Pei walked out of the back room.

Seeing that it was Liu Yiyi standing outside, Yuan Pei hurriedly stepped up two steps to open the door for Liu Yiyi and them.

"Mr. Liu, please." Yuan Pei opened the gate, warmly bowed his hand to Liu Yiyi, and then took the reins and led the carriage to the courtyard.

"What, isn't Uncle Yuan at home at the moment?" Liu Yiyi looked at the sky, the sun was three poles, it was already half an hour, if Yuan Fang was at home, he should have come out a long time ago.

"Mr. Liu Mingjian," Yuan Pei stretched out his hand to invite Liu Yiyi and the three of them to walk to the backyard, and said to Liu Yiyi: "My father is now the owner of the 'Liu's Plough Workshop' in the county, and there are many affairs to deal with every day. ”

"However, when you left, my father, I had already explained to Pei that the things that Mr. Liu needed had already been prepared." Entering the backyard, Yuan Pei pointed to the more than forty wooden components placed in the corner of the backyard, and said to Liu Yiyi: "Mr. Liu, please look, everything is here." ”

The wooden runners, gears, pulleys, and Liu Yiyi stepped forward and watched them one by one, this Yuan's craftsmanship is really not covered, not bad.

"Mr. Liu," Su Chen looked at these specious things, leaned over to Liu Yiyi, and asked in a low voice, "What are these things, waterwheels?" ”

"Oh, you can call it that, too." Liu Yiyi chuckled and nodded, squatted down, held a waterwheel to watch, and tried to stir one of the gears, and the whole waterwheel moved at once.

"But how is this not the same as what you usually see in the morning?" Su Chen also squatted down with Liu Yiyi, looked at the rotating waterwheel, and asked suspiciously: "The volume is too small, and this structure is also very different, is this also a new waterwheel made by Mr.?" ”

Su Chen looked at Liu Yiyi's gaze, and a hint of brilliance flashed, if this waterwheel was also newly made by Liu Yiyi, then coupled with the previous Liu's plough and the new shovel, this Mr. Liu is really a genius.
