Chapter 480: [Water Windmill]

……

When Li Chengqian walked halfway, he rolled up his sleeves.

Li Chengqian, who was originally dressed in a gentle manner, was rolled up by his sleeves, revealing his strong little arms, and suddenly there was a more capable atmosphere, and half of the bookish anger was missing.

He went to the boundary tree, and the tree that was separated yesterday had been brushed with lime on the side that belonged to the Wang family, and the place one meter below the trunk was white, so that the trees on both sides were clearly distinguished.

This is really a good way, the Wang family's tree is brushed with lime, and the people here in Huangzhuang want to occupy more land, it is impossible to get lime down from the tree, if the Wang family takes some lime and brushes one or two trees on the trees on this side of Huangzhuang, it will make people not notice. But it's already good if the people of Huangzhuang don't bully Wangzhuang, how dare the people of Wangjiazhuang invade Huangzhuang's land in turn!

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian smiled, and then saw that more than a dozen peasants in Wangjiazhuang were working by the river in full swing. In the crowd, Li Chengqian saw Gui'e, a mature woman.

Seeing that it seemed to be bringing water from the river in to irrigate the crops, Li Chengqian walked towards them.

Halfway through, Gui'e spotted Li Chengqian with sharp eyes, and remembered what Li Chengqian did to her family yesterday, and was grateful, and walked over to Li Chengqian.

"Master Li, welcome to our Wangjiazhuang!" Gui'e said with a smile.

She said welcome, and her tone was asking why Li Chengqian came to Wangjiazhuang. Li Chengqian didn't mind and smiled: "This is free at work, just take a walk." ”

"Oh!" Gui'e asked inquiringly, "Master Li doesn't know what kind of work he is doing in the Imperial Village, and this crop work is obviously not done by Master Li." Look at Master Li's exposed white arms, although they are strong. But not like the croppers. And Master Li's clothing is much more upscale than ours! ”

Li Chengqian tried his best to temporarily change his clothes into laborers. Unexpectedly, the clothes still betrayed him deeply.

He smiled and said, "I'm a technician who does technical work, and I used to work in other places, and now I've been transferred here. Look at the smoke rising over there, I just directed the cement burning project. I'm here to take care of this these days, and I'm going to build a cement factory here after I succeed! ”

Following Li Chengqian's fingers, Gui'e looked at the courtyard of Huangzhuang, and sure enough, two puffs of smoke rose. She was also particularly interested in the cement that Li Chengqian said, and asked as if she asked. Li Chengqian told her about the cement paving.

Gui'e had never heard of such paving. I was very curious about Li Chengqian all of a sudden, and I felt that he knew a lot of things.

At this time, she remembered that this imperial village had been assigned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince two or three months ago, so was this person who was transferred also working under the name of the Prince?

In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to studying and becoming an official, craftsmen had the most status.

For a while, Gui'e respected Li Chengqian even more.

While she was thinking, Li Chengqian pointed to the peasants working by the river. Asked, "What is this?" ”

More than a dozen peasants dug a ditch to the river, but did not dig into the river and connected it to the river. Then the peasants ran to the river to fetch water and poured it into the ditch. The water from the ditch slowly flowed into the crop fields.

"Why don't you open the ditch into the river, wouldn't that be a convenience?" Li Chengqian said.

"Puff...... Gui'e chuckled, and then looked at Li Chengqian like a layman. He said, "If you go into the river, there is a danger that the embankment will burst." And after a while, when the flood season arrives, the river is completely flooded. The crops are not protected, and even the crops may be flooded. ”

Oh, I see.

"But relying on manpower to carry water is not a good way!" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said.

Gui'e looked at him with a more layman's gaze, her lips squirmed, and she didn't know what to say.

"There it is!" Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said.

This sentence made Gui'e widen her eyes and look at him curiously.

"Water windmills." Li Chengqian said.

Gui'e became curious and asked, "What is a water windmill, Master Li?" ”

"The water windmill is ...... You ask people to bring paper and pens, and I draw them for you, and it's a wheel-like thing, and if you put it in the river, it can automatically carry water for you, instead of your farmers carrying water bucket by bucket. Li Chengqian said.

"You don't need people to carry water?" Gui'e didn't believe it.

It's like the look on the face of a person with a keyboard phone when they first hear a touchscreen phone.

"Paper!" Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and urged.

Gui'e bit her lip and asked the maid next to her, Fang Niang, to get paper and pen.

When the paper and pen came, Li Chengqian found a large flat stone and drew it.

The Ferris wheel water windmill was drawn on the paper, Li Chengqian took the paper to show her, and said: "Use bamboo and wood to make this water windmill, put it in the river, when the river flows, push the water windmill, the water windmill turns, the bamboo tube here is oblique, you can drive the river water, and then turn here, the water is poured here, and here is a water tank to catch the water, so that the water can be led into the ditch!" Wouldn't that save people? ”

Gui'e was stunned when she heard it, listening to Li Chengqian's words, this water windmill can really bring water in without manpower!

"Then what if it rains, the water in the fields will be drained out, and this water windmill will still bring water in?" After all, Gui'e is an experienced landlord's wife, and when she thought of this question, she immediately asked.

"Make a stopper, plug these bamboo tubes that divert water, and there will be no more water diversion!" Li Chengqian pointed to the water windmill and said.

With such a reminder, Gui'e immediately thought of it, screamed, and then showed surprise on her face.

"I'll call the carpenter to make it!" Gui'e took Li Chengqian's drawings, but as soon as her hand was stretched, she paused, pursed her lips, and said in embarrassment: "Master Li, you are a craftsman in the imperial village, we can't take your ...... with this thing."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "No, I drew it with your paper, pen and ink, not Huangzhuang." ”

Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Gui'e felt that Li Chengqian was funny, and he was also very selfless for the good of her family. It made Gui'e feel a lot better. She thanked Li Chengqian, and then asked Fang Niang to call her housekeeper.

Soon the chubby old man came running.

This housekeeper's surname is Zhou. Listening to Gui'e call him Uncle Zhou, it seems that he has won the trust of the landlord's wife. But look at how fat he eats. looks like Zhu Fatzi, it seems that this housekeeper is a good errand, whoever becomes a fat man.

Gui'e asked Uncle Zhou to find a carpenter, and then started working in the open space outside their Zhuangzi.

There are many technical details of the water windmill, and Gui'e politely invited Li Chengqian over.

The fiery water windmill project began, and when the water windmill was 890 percent complete, Zhu Fatzi ran over from there.

Gui'e couldn't help but get nervous.

The craftsmen of this Huangzhuang came to Wangjiazhuang to work, which was unreasonable, and was seen by Zhu Fatzi. Isn't Master Li going to be hated by Steward Zhu?

This hurt Master Li, Gui'e couldn't help it, seeing Steward Zhu getting closer and closer, she became more and more nervous, how to explain this to Steward Zhu, or how to make Li Chengqian innocent?

When Li Chengqian saw Zhu Fatzi, he continued to indifferently instruct the carpenter on how to do it.

Gui'e felt that this Master Li's magical skills were there, but this person's brain was a little difficult to use, and this boss came. Why don't you stand up and pretend to be here to watch?

When Zhu Fatzi arrived, Gui'e walked over sideways and said to Zhu Fatzi with a smile: "Butler Zhu." Why do you have time to come to my Wangjiazhuang, are you also like your Master Li, who came to see us make water windmills? ”

She said this. defined Li Chengqian as coming to see the excitement or stealing the teacher.

Zhu Fatzi nodded politely to Gui'e and said, "Oh." Hello Mrs. Wang, I'm here to invite Master Li! ”

Hear this. Gui'e saw that Zhu Fatzi didn't blame Li Chengqian, but was very polite, a little surprised, which master didn't get angry when he saw the craftsman helping others?

But seeing that he was really not angry but respectful, she was relieved.

Li Chengqian stood up and asked, "Steward Zhu, what's the matter?" ”

This Master Li really doesn't understand the world, can this boss be called by his surname? If the housekeeper of her family did not call her Mrs. directly, but Mrs. Wang, she would definitely slap her in the face.

Zhu Fatzi was not angry at all, and said to him: "Master, the cement you said seems to be burned, is it convenient for you to go back and have a look?" ”

This was polite, not like a subordinate person, but as if he was asking for someone, which surprised Gui'e.

Especially Zhu Fatzi, the housekeeper of the Imperial Village, is famous for her arrogance, and she has never seen her like this.

Li Chengqian originally wanted to wait for the water windmill to be finished before going back, but this cement was an important thing to him.

He decided to pave a cement road for Cheng Wenxiao when she returned.

And he wants to build a cement factory here, so he can come to see Gui'e at any time, so he can't delay it now.

He nodded to Zhu Fatzi and said, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

He looked at Gui'e, Gui'e nodded and said, "I'll send Master Li here!" ”

Li Chengqian smiled.

Looking at Li Chengqian's five steps and turning around, Gui E felt that this Master Li seemed to have the same thoughts as many men she had seen before, and her face couldn't help but sink.

But when I saw the water windmill still installed on the ground, and the lime-brushed trees on the small slope in front of me, I hesitated suddenly.

In the end, she was really reluctant to give up the benefits, she decided that for the sake of a better family, she would treat him and not offend him, but she would not do anything close to him and let him succeed.

Li Chengqian didn't know that Gui'e had made such a decision in his heart, and this decision obviously made Li Chengqian psychologically closer to Gui'e.

When he arrived at the Huangzhuang, he saw that the limestone, which had been burned for a morning, had turned into powder, and it was gray in the cauldron, which was clearly the color of cement!
