It's almost time for lunch. Zhu Chengli www.biquge.info who was sent back by the fat staff. As soon as Zhu Chengli entered, he found Zhu Lin. took Zhu Lin to the West Wing. Uncover the sandbox. Tell Zhu Lin what the location of the land outside the fat man is. And where is the house? Then tell Zhu Lin that it is difficult to hit the water. Because Zhu Chengli has seen all the wells that others have drilled. There is no water. Even if there is, there are very few. Zhu Lin took a closer look at the sand table. The land outside the fat man is between the canal and the official road to the east, and a part of it to the north is close to Sicheng, which has been dried up. The key is to get close to the fields where the canal is located. Now there is no water either. It's almost dry. That's why the fat guy is in a hurry.
The canal is surrounded by mounds. Listening to Zhu Chengli, there are three waterwheels on the original local mound that turn water from the canal. The canal to the east to the official road is full of fat land. There are about hundreds of acres. The house outside the fat man was under the mound to the west near the canal. Although there is a great drought, there should still be groundwater. After all, there used to be a dense network of water here. Water is abundant.
"Is there a place where the vegetation is more vigorous? ”
"There is this, there is a grave not far from the official road, where the grass and trees are more vigorous, and there is a canal, the reeds are all over the sky, and the cattails are in patches, although it has dried up, but after all, it used to be a lake." Zhu Lin looked at the position pointed by Zhu Chengli's finger. I saw that the cemetery and the three waterwheels were in a straight line. Walk under the house outside the fat man. Zhu Lin understood, that's why he couldn't get water outside the fat man's house. It's like a dragon, now the dragon's head is three waterwheels, and the dragon's tail is a graveyard. The groundwater in the middle went to both sides, and it all flowed to the head of the dragon and the tail of the dragon.
"Well, I see, you ride and tell the fat man that I have a way to get him to get water, but dig a pit next to the graveyard, and the same goes for it under the waterwheel. When I dug it, I told me that I had people dig a well. It should be able to get out of the water."
Zhu Chengli asked Zhu Lin cautiously: "Is the little young master sure?"
"You can go with confidence, I don't dare to say everything, I am still sure. You go get some dry food and hurry up." Zhu Lin can't say that he is not sure, Zhu Lin is about to run out of water, and Zhu Lin has to seize the slightest opportunity.
It was late at night, and Zhu Lin and the others had eaten. Zhu Chengli came back. Zhu Lin called out to Zhang's mother to do something again. Zhu Chengli told Zhu Lin that he had eaten at the fat man's house. Zhu Chengli also brought Zhu Lin a fat chicken leg.
Zhu Chengli told Zhu Lin that after the fat man heard what Zhu Chengli said, he asked the tenants and domestic servants to dig it at that time. It is estimated that it is almost dug now, and it is half a battle deep, and the pit is two feet long and wide. It's just that the cemetery is not very big dug there. It's deep enough, though. In my opinion, the fat man thought he could dig up water.
"Hehe, he wants to push us away from doing it alone, and I guess we've started digging wells now. But even if he drilled a well there, he probably wouldn't be able to get water." Zhu Lin said.
"Why?" Zhu Chengli asked.
"Heaven must not be revealed". Zhu Lin said with a smug face there.
Sure enough, after Zhu Chengli left, the fat man lit a torch outside and called other well-drilling teams to dig a few wells overnight. The water came out, but not much water came out. Not to mention watering the ground, even people can't drink enough. But when people dig wells, they have to give silver when they produce water. The fat man was furious on the spot, and he didn't want to give people money. The well diggers and the tenants outside the fat staff will be killed on the spot. As a result, the well-drilling team said that they would sue the prefect's yamen if they didn't give money. The well will also be filled.
The fat man gave money before sending people away. If you don't give it, you can't do it! The well-drilling team in the yamen is helping to find. If you don't give money, you can't get along with the yamen! The fat man was so worried that he didn't sleep all night, and in the morning he let people see if there was any water. The answer was that it was out of the water, but it was still very little. The fat man was dumbfounded, hundreds of acres of land waiting to be watered. If you can't water it, the seedlings will die of drought, and this year's harvest will be over, and your tenants will run out. There's really no way around it. Let the housekeeper bring the carriage over, and I'm going to the city to find Young Master Zhu again. But it's easy to find, how can you tell people! After people told him the place yesterday, the fat man wanted to do it alone. Now that it's over, I'll go find someone to dig a well. How do you speak? The fat man slept in the car and sighed.
Zhu Lin is assembling the pressurized water well in the yard, which has already been assembled. This craftsman is very skilled. The copper casing is shiny, and the reserved water outlet on the casing is also made into a faucet shape. Except that the well handle is cast iron. The rest is made of brass. In particular, the copper pipe down is four meters, not thin or thick, and there is an interface on the head. Plug in the interface left at the bottom of the well casing, and it will be tightly sealed. It's just that the price is a bit expensive. It cost Zhu Lin 60 taels of silver. When paying, Zhu Chengli almost didn't faint. Zhu Lin is really exhausted now.
Zhu Lin asked Zheng Jiu to dismantle the pressurized water well, and then set up a wooden frame on the well platform. Put the derrick on a wooden frame. I tried it, and at the beginning, it didn't come out of the water.
Later, Zhu Lin poured water into it. I saw Zhu Yi lifting and pressing there, and the water flowed out from the faucet on the well shell one by one. Zhu Lin secretly thought, now I have to slaughter the fat outside. I can't dig a well, so I make a foreign well and sell it. Hey. In the future, it will be called pressurized water wells. It can't be called Yokai.
It didn't take long for the fat man to come. And also with a housekeeper. Zhu Lin walked to the front yard and fought with the fat outside.
"Young Master Zhu, thank you for telling me those two places yesterday, I have already dug them, can you send someone to dig the well first?"
"Oh, there's no rush beforehand. Did you eat it? I didn't have time to drink a sip of water yesterday, but today I got some tea and asked the master to taste it. Come on, tea". Zhu Lin shouted there deliberately. Actually, there's a fart tea. Zhu Lin himself only drinks boiled water every day.
"No need, no need, let's hurry up and let the well drilling team help me dig the well, you see it's almost noon." The fat man said with a sweat on his head.
"Don't be in a hurry, really don't be in a hurry, wait for the tea to be ready, let's talk again."
"Oh, the cost of digging a well here is a hundred taels, and others dig a well for five taels, and I will give you ten taels first. And there are no taxes. Then when the water is out, take a few more sips. What do you think?".
"That kid is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Zhu Lin's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, so he took the silver ticket.
"Then let's say okay, Young Master Zhu, arrange for someone to dig a well for me!" Saying that, the fat man was about to go outside.
"Wait, this lord, you won't beat the place I said yesterday. If you dig a well, there is nothing you can do." As he spoke, Zhu Lin handed over the silver ticket.
And the fat guy stopped outside. He turned around and asked, "Why is this, how can I not fight, I have already paid the money."
"No, I'll return the money to you, and we won't fight, because you have destroyed the feng shui in these two places, and you won't be able to get out of the water. The well that the master drilled is the water, and there are very few of them, right?" Zhu Lin said lightly, handing over the silver ticket as he spoke. When the crowd next to them saw it, their faces changed color. Busy giving Zhu Lin a fierce look.
"Well, I really can't help it, after the pit is dug. A friend from the Yamen came to the door and said that they had a well-drilling team, and it was the Yamen's own well-drilling team. The fat clerk explained there. It was as if the yamen was forcing him to dig a well.
"Well, but if you dig a well now, it's unrealistic, after all, feng shui makes you destroy. I have only one way to get water out of the well you drilled. Look, sir, would you like to?". Zhu Lin tempted.
"Yes, just the price....". The fat man wondered.
"Don't worry, the price is absolutely fair, this thing is in the backyard, you can take a look. If it is suitable, you can pay the deposit, and we will take care of the installation. After the installation is completed, you will pay the full amount when the water comes out, is that good?"
"Okay, I'll see what the odd thing is." The fat man said.
In the backyard, after the fat man saw the pressurized water well, his eyes were round and slippery. It's okay to say it straight. It's just that the water comes out a little slowly.
Zhu Lin persuaded him. It doesn't matter if the water is slow, as long as the pressure does not stop day and night, the water is still quite considerable. At the very least, one acre of land is one acre of land. Fat people think about it too. So he asked Zhu Lin how much it was. Zhu Lin replied that it was five hundred taels of silver. scared the fat man so much that he almost sat on the ground. It's too expensive, how much food can be bought for five hundred taels of silver. You don't have to be able to water a lot of ground. Zhu Lin told the fat man that this thing can be used in the future. It's not like throwing it away when it's used up. And it may be the only one in the world. You see this copper well made, this workmanship. This trick. I don't dare to say that it will be used for a lifetime, but it can always be used for ten years! Ten years, only a few taels of silver a day. Under the coaxing of Zhu Lin's rhetoric. The fat man went through a counteroffer. It was sold for three hundred and fifty taels of silver. I paid a deposit of two hundred taels. Wait until the water comes out before paying the balance. The fat man walked away satisfied. And cheers were heard in the courtyard.
Zheng Jiu took Zhu Yi and them to install it. Zhu Lin told Zheng Jiu to try the depth of the well, and the depth of the well beyond three zhang could not be pressurized. A wellhead and a wellhead test. Which wellhead produces more water is fixed at which wellhead. After fixing, the wellhead is sealed with tiles and yellow mud. You don't have to try the kind of wellhead with a well bar. Just try a well as thick as a bowl.
Zhu Lin handed over two hundred taels of silver to Zhu Chengli.
called Chang Yulin and the third junior high school to the study. Q: Are all these parts made in one house? The third junior high school said no, they are made in several houses. In particular, the water diversion skin and the well core were made in the other two respectively. As soon as he said this, Zhu Lin was relieved. I can still make a lot of money with this. Cast iron is used to build the well below, which costs a little more money in addition to the diversion skin and the copper pipe below. The cost should be able to come down. Let them go to the blacksmith in the afternoon and ask if they can make it.
In the afternoon, Zhu Lin went to the east wing to listen to Wang Guangxu's lecture. Not to mention, Wang Guangxu is really not simple, after only two days of teaching, the children still recognize a lot of words, and arithmetic can also calculate addition and subtraction within ten. Is it the children of this era who are smart enough to learn, or the teachers who teach well? Since ancient times, talented people from poor families are more suitable for children. I saw that the children were staring intently at the words on the blackboard. I'm serious about learning. Zhu Lin was embarrassed to watch. I don't think I listened to the lectures so seriously when I was in school. Now that I think about it, I regret it. Books are hated less when they are used.
That's right, books. In the morning, Liu Rumei also said to Zhu Lin that the wax paper was all engraved, just waiting for the ink. Hey, how did Zhu Lin ignore this? Now that I have money, I forgot to ask Zhu Chengli to bring ink when I asked Zhu Chengli to go grocery shopping just now.
