Chapter 283: Wang Jing's New Invention

Liu Wan was traveling to a primitive small village when she accidentally saw it in a small museum in the village.

Liu Wan likes the cleanliness of the small village, so she stayed there for a week.

Since she saw an interesting book, Liu Wan bought a copy at the museum and was fascinated by it.

She was still amazed at the time, she didn't expect the ancients to have such wisdom and understand various agricultural techniques, but she didn't expect that this book has become her best excuse now.

"Mother, I have also figured out what the water turbine you said about delivering water from the waterwheel, and I will make it when I have time, so you can see it."

Wang Jing mentioned this matter in passing.

Generally, if you are not seventy or eighty percent sure, Wang Jing will not say so.

Wang Jing said this, that is, he can basically do it.

Liu Wan was greatly admired and said:

"Jing'er, if you really do it, it will be terrible.

In the future, in addition to the plains under the mountain, rice can be planted in the village, and if there is a waterwheel, the mountain can also be cultivated into fields for irrigation. ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't our family be able to go to Nanshan to open up wasteland? Now that the fields in the village are all owned, it is difficult to buy them back, and they can only go out of the wilderness.

But in the past, even if the land on the mountains was opened, it could only be planted with some drought-tolerant crops, not rice, otherwise it would kill people by carrying water.

Now, if I had a watermill to deliver water, I would be able to drive ten acres and eight acres of land. ”

When Wang Xiao heard this, he became enthusiastic.

They are all honest peasant children, although they make money doing business in the town, their roots are still in the land, and when they hear about things that are beneficial to farming, they are particularly interested.

Without Tudi, it is a rootless thing for them, and they are very anxious and painful.

Especially when the family used to have good land, but later it was sold out by the father of the loser, and they felt even more humiliated in their hearts.

Teacher Liu Wan could understand Wang Xiao's feelings, nodded and smiled:

"Yes, if Jing'er's waterwheel can be done well, we can go to Nanshan to open up wasteland, and then we may not be able to plant paddy fields, we can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Mother, you're talking about potatoes and sweet potatoes again, can they really be grown?"

Wang Jing was still skeptical.

"If it doesn't work out, plant it first, and then look at it in three or four months."

Liu Wan doesn't argue, anyway, facts speak louder than words when the time comes.

After eating, Wu Hui Ma slipped away the dishes and went to wash.

Now she also has a set of rules for washing dishes, which Liu Wan taught her.

Rinse the bowl in hot water with plant ash to remove the greasy, then rinse it again with water, and then boil it in the pot with hot water again before putting it in the cupboard.

Anyway, the Wu family is not short of this firewood fee now, what they want is cleanliness and hygiene.

In these years, there are no vaccines, no antibiotics, medical conditions are extremely poor, almost none, and diseases enter from the mouth.

Therefore, Liu Wan can only use this primitive and effective method to clean her own tableware first.

"Mother, this month's firewood money is a total of 313 yuan."

Wu Hui washed the dishes, took out a ledger with crooked handwriting and handed it to Liu Wan.

Since Liu Wan taught them literacy, she has asked everyone to apply the literacy to their lives, such as bookkeeping, notepads, and so on.

It must be used so that the words will really remain in their hearts, otherwise, it will not be long before they forget it again.

When Wu Hui first used it to keep accounts, writing was more difficult than chopping wood with an axe, but after a long time, she found that the bookkeeping was super useful, and she was no longer afraid of forgetting where the money was spent.

And the words that can be used in practice, I don't know how cool it feels.

Liu Wan also tried to let Wu Hui handle the affairs of the house, starting with small things such as buying firewood, collecting flowers, and collecting forage.

For Liu Wan, she is not afraid that Wu Hui will do a little trick in the accounts, and there will be no fish when the water is clear.

Even if Liu Wan finds out, she will open her eyes and close her eyes, as long as Wu Hui is not too excessive, she will not care about her.

This is not the case in all dynasties, no matter what class it is?

The stricter the system of financial supervision, the more fattening rats can be here.

Sometimes it is also a means for the rat to fatten, and the fatter the rat eats, the more he can only listen to the master's words, because he is fat and weak.

Besides, the rat can't run away at all after eating too fat, and if you want to deal with it, you'll be caught all at once.

Seeing Wu Hui handing over the account book, Liu Wan, as the financial manager of the Wang family, was not polite, settled Wu Hui's account book, compared the consumption of firewood, and said:

"I have less money to buy firewood this month."

"Yes, because the weather is getting warmer, sometimes the washing things are at noon, and the water is not cold, so there is no hot water, so the firewood consumption is less."

Wu Hui reported honestly.

Liu Wan advocates freeing manpower from heavy daily labor to create greater value, so she does not hesitate to spend this money.

And according to the current situation, several of her children have their own "careers" to be busy with, which is much more important than chopping wood.

Liu Wan asked the villagers to buy firewood, which was also an opportunity to create employment for the villagers.

So after the business of the barbecue restaurant stabilized, Liu Wan has been looking for people in the village to buy firewood.

In addition, it took 100 yuan to collect dried flowers today, 10 yuan to use forage, there are two cows and a pig at home, and geese also have to eat forage, so buying forage is also part of the expenditure.

Liu Wan checked the accounts and recorded all the accounts for today into her own notebook.

In this way, after a month, the amount of income and expenditure will be calculated, and the amount of income and expenditure in a year will be clear, and it will not become a confused account.

Although this is a bit tedious, it is to cultivate their sense of financial management and housekeeping.

Liu Wan never tires of it, and she does the little things with relish.

"Mother, I think we can raise one more cow and a buffalo? How many more pigs? ”

Wang Xiao's ambition is quite big, and Liu Wan thinks he doesn't want to be a farmer.

"Xiao'er, it's tiring to take care of these livestock, you have to prepare materials to open a store during the day, and then take care of these livestock, are you busy?" Liu Wan said.

"Mother, can't we invite someone?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao's concept has also changed.

"Yo, you're right."

Liu Wan also nodded.

"Also, the manure produced by our livestock can be used to fertilize the fields, and after a long time, we can improve the soil fertility of the inferior fields on the mountain." Wang Xiao also has a lot of ideas.

Liu Wan nodded in approval:

"Okay, you can do it, but if you want to raise pigs, cows, and sheep, if there are a lot of them, don't keep them near the house, otherwise they will stink to death."

If you simply raise a dozen pigs, two cows, two buffaloes, and hire someone to take care of them, you will save yourself from worrying all day long, for fear that the pigs, cows and sheep will be lost and stolen. ”

Now, with their family's financial resources, they can afford to buy so many pigs, cattle and sheep.
