Chapter 197: The Well

PS: Ask for support for the second time today! Subscriptions, rewards, and evaluations are all indispensable!

Seeing that Li Shimin's side had not made any move for a while, Li Anran, who had "calculated" the great drought and locust plague, did not want to sit still and wait for death. So the whole Xiaoyao Villa soon became lively again.

"Young master, the waterwheel is enough, is it necessary to dig a well?" Wang Youde, who was following behind someone and looking for a suitable place in the villa, endured and endured, but finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"Be prepared." Li Anran, who also received a "reminder" from Cheng Chuhei afterwards, did not reveal the news of the impending drought and locust plague, except for Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, no one said.

There are two kinds of wells to be drilled by Li Anran this time, one is a pressurized water well that is almost the thickness of a bowl mouth, and can be pumped to the ground through a piston and pressure rod structure, and the other is a traditional large well with a diameter of at least one meter.

In addition to digging wells, the fields in the cottage are now occupied by all kinds of pastures. For such a "wasteful" behavior, those subordinates and dealers will inevitably have some doubts and speculations, but no one dares to say anything.

It's not surprising to think about it, although these fields in the mountain villa are really counted, they have only been planted for half a year, and then they have been in the fallow period of planting pasture to restore the strength of the fields.

But the situation of Xiaoyao Villa is completely different, the yield per mu of an acre of potato field is about 200 stones, and an acre of peanut field can also receive about 10 stones. There are also those crops with the same amazing yield, which are planted for half a year and enough to withstand other people's N years.

In the eyes of the old farmers who have been farming for generations, this astonishing yield will certainly hurt the fertility of the field, and it is not surprising that the method of planting for half a year and then fallow for half a year or longer is used to recover.

Moreover, although these fields are all planted with grass, according to the owner, these grasses not only speed up the recovery of fertility in the fields, but also have rich nutrients and good palatability, which is the best way to raise poultry and livestock, and in fact it is.

It's not. Those that follow different cultured species. In the fields specially fenced with large nets, fences and other items, regardless of whether they are chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, during this time, it is like blowing up a balloon, and each one grows stronger than the other.

In a good environment formed by lush pastures. Those poultry in addition to eating young leaves. Insects in the grass also become the best fodder. It not only reduces the number and amount of artificial feeding. And the egg production rate is also very fast.

In particular, those varieties that have been affected by time travel have been supplemented with sufficient nutritional needs and adapted to the new environment. The egg has to be called a diligent one, at least two eggs a day, and more than three or four, and there are often double yolk eggs.

The most worrying thing is that these poultry rarely lay eggs in the field under the influence of those varieties that have passed through time and space travel, and basically some eggs are directly returned to the chicken nest built in the field, avoiding a lot of trouble in finding eggs.

For the eggs laid by these poultry, Li Anran will let people use light to distinguish them, and the ones that are not fertilized will be directly packed, weighed, and stored, and some of them will be digested by themselves in the villa, while the other part will be sent to the commercial street.

Considering that the variety of these eggs is far higher than that of ordinary eggs, Li Anran will not be stupid enough to sell them directly, but use them as ingredients for deep processing, among which the few pastry houses on the commercial street account for the majority, and the profit is much greater than just selling eggs.

As for the speculation of the subordinates and the villagers, Li Anran didn't have the time to pay attention to it at all. After selecting a few suitable locations, he personally drove a small engineering truck specially used for drilling wells and began to drill the first pressurized water well.

The slender drill bit is about the thickness of the bowl, and of course, this is not a small bowl, but a large bowl. With strong power, the drill bit easily burrows into the soil layer and goes underground at a very steady speed.

Because there is a large river nearby, the water resources are quite abundant, that is, it looks like it is less than half an hour (an hour), and the drill bit that has reached a depth of more than ten meters underground has already shown signs of hitting water.

Considering that such a thing as drilling a well, you can't always rely on yourself, so when digging the first well, Li Anran had already asked Wang to take charge of the matter, and found some farmers who had been idle because of fallow to take some people with experience in drilling wells to teach relevant skills.

This kind of domestic small drilling machine is actually very simple to use, and it didn't take much effort to learn it after the selected farmers got used to the sound of this strange set of equipment, and overcame the fear in their hearts.

After the second pressurized water well was drilled, Li Anran retired from the operator's post. Sitting on the side and setting up a good tent, it is the kind of windshield tent that manufacturers often use when doing promotions, and acts as a supervisor while drinking tea.

In addition to this kind of pressurized well, the steward Wang, who had been instructed, also organized enough manpower to start digging a wide well with a diameter of a few meters, near the fields and canals.

The movements on the side of Xiaoyao Villa are naturally impossible to hide from Cheng Zhihei, who is not guarded against at all. As a result, the secret report that Xiaoyao Villa began to dig wells and dig wells, and at the same time increased the scale of poultry breeding was delivered to the palace in Chang'an City.

As for what reaction his behavior would cause, Li Anran didn't care about it at all. Anyway, the previous estimation results have also been said, and as long as you pay attention, you can always see some traces from the current climate, soil, etc.

In this case, if His Majesty the Tang Emperor in Chang'an City really wants to be "stubborn" and "stubborn", there is no way. In other words, how can you blame others for looking for death.

For seven days, the well was dug continuously. Some places are chosen correctly, and the water comes out after digging a few meters. Some of the locations are not very good, and it takes hundreds of meters to drill down with an excavator well before the water comes out, but fortunately, no matter what, there is still water.

With the construction of this kind of pressurized water wells that can easily press down the water and do not occupy any space, the farmers who find that this kind of well is better will no longer go to the canal to receive water, and they can fill it up with a few times a day with a wooden barrel, which saves more trouble.

After seeing that the pressurized water well was so popular, Li Anran, who happened to want to find more work for the well digging team, so that Li Anran, who was familiar with this technique, simply waved his hand and drilled a pressurized water well for each family in the courtyard of all the villagers' houses for free.

As for those wide and deep wells with a diameter of at least one meter or so, Li Anran only asked people to dig a dozen or so near the fields and canals of the villa for backup, and at the same time, he did not forget to order a batch of pumping equipment from modern time and space, which is not small but absolutely portable.

With these equipment, even if the drought is fierce and even the river next to the mountain village will dry up, enough water can be pumped directly from these deep wells and discharged into the canal to ensure the normal irrigation of the farmland.

But what everyone can't understand is that in addition to some vegetable fields that are still being planted, the main farmland is still in the so-called fallow period. The ground is full of grass, and it would be too much of a loss to spend such a big price.

Li Anran, who was too lazy to pay attention to the trouble that his actions would cause trouble to some people, in addition to continuing to teach the skills of digging wells, would also take time to drive his helicopter to the valley in Taibai Mountain every day.

During this period of time, the six-person construction team led by Yao Jinsong has carried out preliminary development of the interior of the valley according to the design drawings with the help of completed construction machinery and related equipment and tools.

Every day Li Anran passed, he would use the ability to cross and bring some fuel for starting power generation equipment and construction machinery. At the same time, I will also bring some seafood and fruits to improve the food for these six big soldiers who have to run away after causing trouble.

As for meat and vegetables, there is no need to supplement the valley's unique climate, which is almost spring-like all year round. Anyway, every time Li Anran went, he could see prey that should have been hit with traps or rudimentary tools.

Vegetables are even simpler, and in this environment, there will be no shortage of mushrooms and wild vegetables. There are also fish, shrimp, crabs, eels, loaches, mussels and other aquatic products hidden in the stream formed by the waterfall, and Yao Jinsong and they don't have to worry about eating at all.
