"Big brother, the waterwheel is not what you think, we load the waterwheel, and after driving it with animal power, the water will flow from the mountain to the mountain, and then from the mountain to the fields below, to solve the problem of lack of water in the field."

Wang Jing explained briefly.

"Huh? How can it be? Will the water flow from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain? Are you a fool? ”

When Dahan heard this, he thought it was funny.

Wang Jing said: "Anyway, it doesn't hurt to give it a try, and you don't need an extra copper plate, the cost is all paid by the government." ”

Under Wang Jing's patient persuasion, Dahan hesitated for a while, feeling that what he said was reasonable, anyway, it didn't cost a copper plate, so he said:

"Okay, don't make any demon moths, dare to destroy the feng shui of our village, we won't spare you."

As soon as he heard words like waterwheels, Dahan immediately sensitively thought of the feng shui events in the village, so he kept blocking and refused to let him go.

When Wang Jing heard him say this, he immediately understood his main concern, so he smiled and said:

"Big brother, it's too much, we won't do anything like that."

"I'm staring at you."

Dahan said, followed Wang Jing's carriage, and came to the Peach Blossom Creek.

The official government of this village was assigned to the homeless, but the Wu County Decree was also sincere enough to divide the village by the Peach Blossom Creek.

However, there is no good land by the river, so it can only be cultivated to the mountains.

But the biggest problem on the mountain is that there is not enough living water.

When the land was first opened, it happened to be spring, and there were a few spring rains occasionally, and the displaced people did not have much sense of crisis.

Especially after the beginning of summer, without a drop of rain, the land will be completely barren.

The displaced people seem to have returned to the days before the drought in their hometowns, and they are plunged into worry and tension.

With the experience of the last time, none of them will sit still again.

If you want to escape from here, you must prepare some gold and silver that you can take with you.

And where did they get the silver and gold?

Naturally, it's a robbery!

It's the displaced people who are most ready to move.

Everyone's minds began to think crookedly, and someone almost took the lead.

There is no action yet, mainly because the government still gives a mouthful of porridge to eat every day, and there is no danger of starvation for the time being.

If the government did not give porridge at this time, the displaced people would have already begun to loot and start fleeing the famine.

At this moment, a watermill suddenly came?

What is this thing?

Say that it can save the wasteland on the mountain?

The common people only know that the water flows eastward, from high to low, and they have never seen water flow up the mountain.

Under the loud noise of the Han, the common people soon learned about it, and they all gathered around, following Wang Jing's ox cart, ready to see the truth about the water wheel.

Fortunately, Wang Jing had successfully assembled a set of waterwheels at home, so at this time, when he saw the people of the displaced villages who were surrounding him, he could not panic.

Otherwise, hundreds of people would have gathered around to watch him load the water truck, and they would have panicked in their hearts.

"Fellows, get out of the way, yes, don't get in the way of the mountain, we have to put a water tank on it."

Wang Jing now has a "master" posture.

When the villagers looked at the belongings they had moved down, they felt that it was quite complicated, and it looked very doorway, and the villagers were in awe.

When Wang Jing saw the villagers retreating, he asked the apprentices to get out of the car and began to load the water wheel and water tank.

It took a morning for the waterwheel to be basically installed, and the tank was half-filled.

Wang Jing opened the food box he brought, and distributed the meat buns that Liu Wan had made early in the morning for everyone to eat, as well as a few large pieces of jerky.

If you do physical work, you can't do it without eating meat, and you don't have the strength to do it all over.

Three big meat buns for one person, a large piece of jerky, the apprentices ate beautifully, although because there was no way to keep warm, the meat bun was cold, but the cold meat bun was also a meat bun, so delicious.

If there is meat to eat, the work will have the strength and the mood will be smooth, and everyone will have a smile on their faces and eat their lunch in a big gulp.

"Uncle, is this a meat bun?"

Wang Jingcai took a bite of the meat bun, and a thin little boy stood beside him, drooling while looking greedily at the meat bun in his hand.

Wang Jing looked at the child, the clothes were patches and patches, and they were very short, not covering the belly, so he showed a bulging belly.

As soon as he saw this big belly, Wang Jing thought about Wang Li and Wang Lian, half a year ago, because they often couldn't eat enough, according to their mother, they were malnourished, and their stomachs were also bulging.

Later, the mother thought of a way to make money, and the family was getting better, which made Wang Lian and Wang Li's stomachs "swollen".

"Yes, meat buns, do you want to eat them?"

Wang Jing is not particularly hungry for meat buns now, he thinks that the meat buns are fragrant, just because he is hungry when it is time.

"Hmm." The boy nodded vigorously and swallowed again.

"Here you go." Wang Jing took a bite of the meat bag in his hand, so he handed him a new meat bag.

A person has the amount of three meat buns, he eats two, and then eats a few pieces of dried meat roasted by his mother, and he is full.

The little boy froze, he didn't expect Wang Jing to hand him the meat bun without hesitation, he wanted to reach out and take it, but he stopped his outstretched hand and said:

"I don't have any money."

"Don't want money, you can eat!"

Wang Jing said with a sympathetic face.

"Well, thank you, big brother."

The little boy stretched out his black hand and took the meat bun, but instead of eating it immediately, he turned to leave.

"Hurry up and eat, drink some water, don't choke."

Wang Jing confessed.

"I'll go back and share it with my sister."

The little boy looked back, excited.

"Wait, I'll give you another one. You and your sister have one each. ”

When Wang Jing heard him say this, his heart moved, and he quickly took out a meat bag from the food box and handed it to the little boy.

"Thank you, big brother."

The little boy's eyes were red.

Wang Jing couldn't stand the child like this, so he took out a brown paper bag and said:

"There's jerky in it, you take it home and divide it."

"Well, big brother, you're so nice."

The little boy took the brown paper bag, hugged it tightly in his arms, bowed deeply to Wang Jing, and then hurried away.

"Master, you're too generous, aren't you?"

On the side, Wang Jing's apprentice couldn't help but say when he saw this scene.

"I can't see children suffering. Hey, I hope our watermill can help them plant rice so they can have enough to eat. ”

"Master, what you said, I seem to have a lot of strength in my heart, don't worry, I will definitely load the waterwheel today."

The schoolboy muttered as his mouth was full of meat.

"Hmm." Seeing his apprentice like this, Wang Jing also felt a sense of mission in his heart, feeling that what he was doing was particularly meaningful.

After eating, Wang Jing took his apprentices to continue working, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the waterwheel was finally loaded.

At this time, the displaced people all put down their work and all came to see Wang Jing's "trick".

Isn't it a "trick" to let the water flow from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain?

Wang Xiao also made improvements to the waterwheel this time, and originally used manpower, and people stepped on the waterwheel to send water to the mountain through manpower.

But in this way, it is also very hard, and whoever steps on the waterwheel will definitely feel so tired.
