Chapter 264: Water That Can't Be Sold

In his previous life, Wang Hao had complained more than once about the high cost of water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when he came to the Great Wilderness, he found out what a happy thing it was to have a water faucet that had water flowing out of it at any time.

Because Wang Hao wants to build the village into a giant city that can defend against monsters.

Therefore, when choosing a site, you should consider all aspects.

It is precisely because of the rise of rain during the summer flood that the distance between Xincun and Dahe was expanded by Wang Hao to one mile.

It is precisely for this reason that the village's water supply has become a problem.

The fish ponds on the left and right sides of the village have green water, and no one chooses to use the water except for cleaning tools and feeding livestock.

The two cisterns in the village simply cannot afford the consumption of the whole village.

What's more, it hasn't rained for many days, and the water in the reservoir is still brought back by the tribesmen who go to the river every day.

One mile is an awkward distance. Because if you get closer, it won't be so much trouble to fetch water every day. Anyway, the people of the Great Wilderness have strong physical fitness, and they can pick up six buckets of water in one trip, and put a flat shoulder on each of the left and right shoulders, which can pick up four buckets of water.

Then you can carry another bucket on one hand.

In addition to the two buckets of water that the adult men handed over to the village every day, the remaining four buckets of water were enough for the family.

And if it is a little farther away from the river, Wang Hao can dig a well.

There is only this one-mile distance, and it is very troublesome to carry water, and it is not cost-effective to dig wells.

But now it's fine. When the sweet potatoes were planted, the carpenter also led people to erect the bamboo water pipes.

With a diameter of eight meters, this waterwheel is considered a super-sized waterwheel.

The volume is large, and the amount of water transported is naturally large. Under the waterwheel, there are three bamboo pipes that receive water.

The first one, naturally, was received from Wang Erniu's farm.

Wang Erniu's farm is basically the place where the water consumption is the largest in the whole village.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, chickens, ducks, cows and other things can go without food for a day, but if they don't feed water for a day, they will become sluggish.

Wang Erniu just invited five people who carried water. Gu Mu once calculated for her that when this summer passed, the extra cost of carrying water alone would be worth three cows.

And after the carpenter helped her farm install bamboo pipes, it was only the consumption of two cows for a whole year.

As for the second water pipe, it is shared by the village.

For example, the construction of the school, the copper smelting furnace, etc., all use the water of this pipe.

The last bamboo pipe is the domestic water used by everyone for washing.

In fact, at the very beginning, except for Wang Hao and a few others, no one was willing to use carpenter's water.

In particular, those who come from other villages to work would rather run to fetch water every morning than use the carpenter's water.

In the Great Wilderness, water is worthless, because the whole Great Wilderness, small streams, big rivers, pools and lakes abound. Because of the climate, there have only been floods in the Great Wilderness, but there has never been a drought.

In people's consciousness, water is shared by all things, just like the air they breathe every day, and now some people actually charge for water, which is really unacceptable to them.

Although residential water only occupies one pipe. But if you add it up, the profit from residential water will be several times the profit of the first two pipelines combined.

If no one wants to use water, it means that the carpenter will not recoup the cost. The carpenter's inability to recover the cost means that there is no return on Qian Duo's investment.

Although Qian Duo himself didn't care about this, Wang Hao couldn't help but care. Yesterday, when the bamboo pipe was about to be erected, Wang Hao boasted about Haikou in front of Qian Duo.

said that he wanted her to see that the decision he made for her was definitely not wrong, and by tomorrow, the initial investment would become money, and it would be recouped in a steady stream.

At that moment, Wang Hao, who was bragging, was so high-spirited, and Qian Duo, looking at Wang Hao, who was determined, also had little stars in his eyes, and his face was full of admiration.

But only one day later, reality gave Wang Hao a resounding slap.

Because of the difference in consumption concepts, everyone thinks that water is inherently free and worthless, and you suddenly have to charge, who wants to use your water.

Everyone doesn't buy it, even if Wang Hao is the patriarch, there is no way, you can't force everyone to buy water.

Faced with this situation, Wang Hao felt that the dignity of the head of his family had been swept away. Then, facing the carpenter who came to the door to cry with a sad face, Wang Hao talked with him for a long time.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, everyone got up.

Qian Duo adhered to his usual diligence and opened his eyes first than Wang Hao.

Feeling the heat coming from Wang Hao's body, Qian Duo suddenly had an urge to be reluctant to get up.

pouted, thinking that he still had to cook in the dining shed every day, so he rubbed Wang Hao's chest helplessly, and still got up.

"What if it's only so big that it won't grow long!" Thinking of this possibility, Qian Duo's face turned white with fright.

While she was thinking wildly, Wang Hao turned over on the bed, hugged Qian Duo's waist in a daze, and then said: "Why do you get up so early every morning, we don't lack food and clothing, and we work hard to go to the dining shed to make breakfast, isn't this my own guilt." ”

Hearing Wang Hao's concern to dissuade him again, Qian Duo laughed happily, but thinking of what he was thinking about just now, he couldn't help but blush, put on straw sandals and hurriedly went out.

Wang Hao couldn't sleep when he woke up, lying on the bed thinking about things. I don't know if the carpenter did the idea he gave to the carpenter yesterday.

It has been several months since he came to the Great Wilderness, and Wang Hao is almost accustomed to this kind of life of sunrise and sunset.

To be honest, life here is not as comfortable as it has been on earth, and I am tired and tired every day for the village.

But for some reason, Wang Hao found that he gradually fell in love with the Great Wilderness. Maybe it's because mosquitoes don't bite people in the wilderness.

Wang Hao smiled and threw his nonsensical idea out of his mind. But to be honest, although the mosquitoes of the Great Wilderness look terrifying, the size of a fist, in fact, only a very small number of them will bite people.

Just when Wang Hao let his thoughts fly and was stunned, Qian Duo came back.

Every morning, she gets up, and before going to work in the dining shed, she will bring washing water for Wang Hao.

Looking at the slightly bright sky, Wang Hao yawned and sat up from the bed.

It will take a few days for the carpenter's idea to bear fruit, so there is no need to rush for the time being.

But today is also a very important day. There are two things in the village, and Wang Hao must personally participate.

One thing is that the wharf was finally completed yesterday, and Wang Hao is going to download a large number of ships to transport asphalt from the upper reaches today.

Another thing is that the spider silk brought back last time has been spun into thread after the processing of the past few days, and today, Wang Hao will witness the birth of the first piece of silk on the Great Wilderness. (To be continued.) )
