……

How to solve the problem of water use in the field, with the electronic version of the encyclopedia, coupled with the design drawings given by his college classmate Shi Jinshui before, Li Anran easily has a solution.

"Water wheels? Master, what kind of car is the waterwheel? Looking at the figure who was back in the inner hall and writing and painting with a strange pen, Su Xiaomei, who was waiting on the side, asked.

"A waterwheel is a tool that can get water from the river directly into the canal." Li Anran, who was drawing the waterwheel structure diagram on the paper with a pencil, said without raising his head.

"Ahh Doesn't that mean that with this waterwheel, as long as the canal is repaired, there will be no more water shortages in the fields in the mountain village? Xiangyun, who was waiting on the other side, flashed his big bright eyes, covered his mouth and said.

"That's right, just build this waterwheel, erect it in a suitable place, and then build a matching canal. Unless the river outside the village is completely dried up, there will be no worries about water in the village. After drawing a part, Li Anran, who picked up another piece of paper and continued to draw, said with a smile.

"If you promote the world...... Isn't that ......" Although she was in the Cuihong Mansion when she was a child, Su Xiaomei is not a person who only knows the wind and snow. Just thinking about it, you can see how beneficial this waterwheel is to the villa.

"Huh...... Clever. After seeing the two problems of reclaiming Xintian, Li Anran thought of using a water wheel to solve it, and at the same time, he also had the idea of giving this simple tool that had long been eliminated by the modern era to Li Shimin for favorability and "merit".

It didn't take long for Li Anran to finish the work of drawing the structural drawings of the parts and writing some text notes under the attention of the two sisters. Although ink painting is quite different from sketching and engineering drawing, it is easier to deal with it after all.

"Someone, go and ask Steward Wang." After checking the drawings on his hand one by one and confirming that there was no problem, Li Anran ordered.

Wang Youde, who received the news, soon came to the outside of the inner hall with two clever subordinates, that is, assistants in later generations.

"Come in, butler." beckoned, Li Anran said.

"I've seen the young master, but I don't know what the young master commands." Wang Youde, who was summoned, walked into the inner hall alone, bowed, and said.

"After lunch, give these drawings to Carpenter Zhou, let them study it first to see if they can make it, if not, I will explain it to them after lunch." Holding the wine cup with grapes, Li Anran pointed to the drawings on the table and said.

"Yes, young master." As soon as he heard it, he knew that his young master was probably a steward Wang who had good things to get, but he didn't dare to let his master send the drawings to his hand, so he hurriedly bowed down and stepped forward after agreeing to the promise, and picked up the drawings on the case.

"Another point, these things are very important, don't look at them if you're not your own person, if someone dares to reveal it, you can go to Cheng Huyuan." After pouring the mellow and aromatic grape wine into his mouth and swallowing it, Li Anran reminded.

As for why he went to Cheng Huyuan instead of doing it himself, it was naturally because the other party had an official identity. Even if you dispose of a subordinate by yourself, it is nothing at all in the time and space of Datang, even if someone reports to the official, it is useless. But this kind of blackface thing, let others do it well, anyway, after doing it, it can also play a role in alerting the people below, why not.

"Yes, young master." After hearing this, Wang Youde hurriedly folded the drawings carefully, and then put them into his sleeve and held them tightly, thinking at the same time in his heart, it seems that it is time to arrange a new place for Carpenter Zhou and them.

After sending Wang Youde away, Li Anran called up the design drawings sent by Shi Jinshui before.

"Young master, isn't this waterwheel going to push the world?" Su Xiaomei, who was waiting on the side, suddenly spoke.

"yes." Looking at the overall plan designed based on the aerial bird's-eye photos he provided earlier, Li Anran said without raising his head.

"That'...... Then why ......" I wanted to ask Su Xiaomei, who didn't hand it over directly to Cheng Nursing Hospital, since this waterwheel was going to be implemented, but she couldn't ask when the words came to her mouth.

"Xiaomei, the young master should do this to build this waterwheel in the villa first and use it, and only after it has the real thing can it be implemented, otherwise, it is not beautiful to say without evidence." Xiangyun, who was waiting on the other side, said with a smile.

"Huh...... Clever. Looking up at Xiangyun, who had not yet fully grown up, but had already shown a charming appearance on his face, Li Anran smiled.

Su Xiaomei, who found that she hadn't thought of this, couldn't help but blush slightly. She didn't think much about it, but Xiangling, who was waiting for a few fans with a big fan on the side, was a little anxious.

"At the beginning, I persuaded Miss not to do too much, but now it's okay, I rescued Xiangyun, and my position is about to be lost!!"

It's a pity that even if she is in a hurry, Xiangling doesn't dare to talk too much at this time.

Don't look at someone's usual temper and is very easy to speak, but in this era, it is very clear about the distinction between status and inferiority. A subordinate, or to be more precise, should be a subordinate of a subordinate, dare to interject indiscriminately at such a time, unless he is very favored or instructed by his little master, someone takes care of him, otherwise the end will be miserable.

Before lunch began, Li Anran finally had a clue about the waterwheel and the canal. I have to admit that the design drawings given by Shi Jinshui are really good, although the details are not enough, but the whole plan is already present. Of course, if you don't need to understand the meaning of these drawings, and then you can tell the craftsmen below who most of them can't understand the drawings, where is there such trouble.

When it was time to eat, Zhao Qian, the second mother-in-law of Zhao Qian, who had been guided by Li Anran before, knew very well that her master's appetite was far beyond ordinary people, so she tossed out a lot of dishes. Many of them are dishes or snacks that they have innovated and tasted good. And these new varieties with modern time and space cooking skills have been praised by Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun. As for Li Anran, he also thinks it's good, so he naturally has a reward.

Lunch was eaten unhurriedly here, and the tea that had just been brewed was served on the table, and Wang Youde was already standing outside the inner hall asking to see him.

After learning that Carpenter Zhou and the others did have a lot of questions about the waterwheel that they needed to answer by themselves, Li Anran, who had originally planned to take the time to relax, had to shake his head and let Steward Wang lead the way. As for Zhao Er, who was responsible for the work of the close guard, he naturally followed as soon as possible.

"Huh? Where is it? Li Anran, who followed Wang Youde to a mansion, asked with some surprise.

"Young master, the things you gave out are very important, and the old slave took it upon himself to arrange such a place for Carpenter Zhou, so as not to leak the news." Wang Youde, who was leading the way in front, hurriedly explained.

For such an approach, Li Anran didn't feel anything wrong. Although they may lose some freedom, they are also paid enough as the master's family. What's more, it was originally his own banker, and this little request was nothing at all, so he nodded and said:

"Very well, if there are things like this in the future, they will be done according to this rule. In addition, since Cheng Huyuan is here, don't let them be idle, pick some loyal enough people from Zhuangzi, let them train well, and then arrange to be guards in these sensitive places, and they can also maintain the safety of Zhuangzi at ordinary times. ”

"Yes, young master." Wang Youde, who nodded hurriedly in response, had a look on his face that wanted to speak and stopped.

"Steward Wang, I can let you continue to manage this villa, which is my trust in you, if you have anything to say in the future, I won't blame you if you say anything wrong. But if you don't say it, and it causes irreparable consequences afterwards, don't blame me for being unkind at that time. Li Anran, who saw that the other party had something to say, said with a light smile.

"Yes, young master." Zhilu said that Wang Youde, who was both beating and a kind of recognition, blushed because of gratitude, and said: "The old slave wants to say that these villagers are just villagers after all, and it is better to find those subordinates who have signed the death contract to protect the villa." ”

Although Li Anran, who nodded, didn't pay attention to the guards of this villa at all, after all, the manpower he would use in the future would not be selected so easily, but it was not a bad thing that the other party could take the initiative, so he smiled with satisfaction, and then said:

"Oh? I see, so be it, and I'll leave this matter to you. I don't care about the process, I just need those people to be loyal enough to me. All those who were selected had their monthly salaries doubled, and in addition, both men and women who had young children in their families could be sent to the academy to study in the future. By the way, Erlang, you and your eldest brother's family can also send it. ”
