Chapter 367: Free

Wang Jing's modification of the waterwheel was unexpected by Liu Wan.

Wang Jing was stimulated, and after a short rest after lunch, he began to work non-stop.

When they work in the morning, they still have a little bit of a feeling of doing things for the sake of doing things, but when they work in the afternoon, they feel full of indescribable energy.

Maybe it was because the eyes of the surrounding villagers were too eager, especially when Wang Jing sounded the little boy's bulging belly, he felt uncomfortable.

Although the local people are afraid of the homeless, if it were not for the drought or other natural and man-made disasters, they would not be able to survive in their hometown, and they would not have left their hometowns and become the homeless people in their mouths, and they would have become the objects of their fear.

Wang Jing sighed in his heart, and tried his best to do the work at hand well.

finally arranged all the waterwheels, and Liu Wanruo must be full of praise when she saw the changes made by Wang Jing at this time.

Wang Jing connected the drive rod to the mule's back frame, and then asked an apprentice to pull the mule in a circle.

As the mules moved, the tanks fetched water from Peach Creek and were transported to the top of the hill one by one.

After the summit was flipped, the water was all poured into a puddle on the mountain.

As the waterwheel was constantly flipping up, the puddle was quickly filled and flowed down from the puddle at the top of the hill through the openings and ditches that had been dug into the fields.

When one field is filled, it will flow to the next, and as long as the mules below keep pulling the cart, the water will continue to be carried up.

The homeless people's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

"Great, it turns out that the water under the mountain can really flow to the mountain, this big trick is the first time to see it, it's really an eye-opener, thank you little master, how did you come up with this trick?"

At this time, the big man who stopped Wang Jing at the entrance of the village also took the initiative to come forward to say hello.

As soon as everyone introduced it, Wang Jing knew that this big man was the Lizheng Huangliang soil of this village.

Huang Liangtu was originally vigilant, for fear that these outsiders were deliberately trying to destroy their feng shui, and they didn't have a good heart.

Don't look at them now that they are poor, they don't have anything to do, but they still have hundreds of acres of land that have been cleared out.

If the natives snooped on their land, they would make all sorts of small means.

Now that I see that water can really flow up the mountains and irrigate the fields, I know that they really want to do good deeds, and my heart is full of gratitude.

"Huang Lizheng, as long as you have a cow instead of my horse, and then keep pulling water, you can irrigate the fields in the mountains. I wish you all the best in your farming this year. ”

Wang Jing said sincerely.

"Hey, it's too late to plant rice this year." Huang Liangtian slapped his thigh, "It's a pity, it's good to be on such a trap in the morning." ”

"Yes, it's past the agricultural season."

Wang Jing didn't want to do much, but seeing that these homeless people were living too hard.

At this time, the little boy's hungry eyes kept shaking in front of his eyes, forcing him to help him.

"Yes, I can only grow some vegetables, and I can barely mix them first." Huang Liangtu sighed.

"If you plant sweet potatoes and potatoes now, it should be too late, but the harvest will be postponed, and it is estimated that it will be autumn, but is it better than it?"

Wang Jing talks about these two high-yielding crops.

As for whether it will yield 1,000 catties per mu, he listened to what his mother said, and he didn't know if it was true or not, and whether it could be realized.

But he believes in his mother, and in the immediate need, these displaced people really need such high-yield crops.

"I heard you say that sweet potatoes are good, but we don't have those seeds."

Huang Liangtu is embarrassed.

"Both seeds were bought from the Hu people, and it's not easy to buy them now."

Wang Jing also fell into a state of embarrassment.

Huang Liangtu sighed and said, "Thank you, little brother, in this way, I'll go to the market to see if the Hu people are selling, or ask the Hu people in the market, can you help us harvest a batch of seeds?"

If I could, I would gather the strength of the whole village to buy and plant. For farmers, growing food is fundamental. ”

Wang Jing nodded and said, "That's naturally good, and it's also a way." ”

Wang Jing's joy of loading the waterwheel was also diluted a lot because of the seeds, and he was a little depressed when he went home.

Xie Lanhua found out and asked him:

"Brother Jing, why are you unhappy? Didn't you go to load the water truck today? I'm still in high spirits in the morning. ”

"Alas, I feel depressed when I say it, mainly because those displaced people are too bitter, they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, and now even if the water problem is solved, it's too late to replant food.

Now they say they can only grow some vegetables first.

But if a man does not eat food, he cannot eat vegetables alone. ”

Liu Wan heard it on the side and said:

"You can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"I said it, but they said that there were no seeds, so they had to go to the market to try their luck with the Hu people." Wang Jingdao.

When Liu Wan heard this, she smiled and said, "I have an idea." ”

"What's the idea?"

When Wang Jing heard this, he looked at Liu Wan with anticipation.

His mother-in-law is always able to surprise and surprise people.

After the third day, the waterwheel of the homeless village has moistened hundreds of acres of fertile land, and according to this trend, there is no need to be afraid of the days in the future.

It's just a matter of animal effort.

There are only three cows in the village, all of which are bought by the public high school, and the three cows will take turns to pull water in the future.

It's really hard for them, both ploughing the fields and pulling water.

The children in the village knew that these three cows were very important and hard, so they took the initiative to go to the mountains to cut grass for them to eat.

On this day, Huang Liangtian was sharpening bamboo sticks at the entrance of the village, preparing to put a bamboo fence on the fields near the village, so as not to be spoiled by chickens and ducks.

At this time, he suddenly heard the familiar sound of mule and horse carts, he looked up, and there was a team of mules and horses in front of him, and the one who started was not Wang Jing, the little brother who gave them a water wheel that day?

"Yo, Master Wang, why are you here again?"

Huang Liangtu already regarded Wang Jing as a person he could trust, so he greeted him warmly.

Wang Jing saw Huang Liangtu from afar and asked, "Village Chief Huang, have you bought potato and sweet potato seeds?" ”

"How can you buy it? When I went to the town and saw the Hu people, I asked, but not everyone knew about the Hu people, and some had never heard of potato and sweet potato seeds.

I had no choice but to go home empty-handed, I was trying to plant something suitable for this season, but I couldn't eat enough if I just planted vegetables. ”

Huang Liangtu said depressedly.

Wang Jing said: "I dug up all the sweet potatoes and potato seedlings at home and gave them to you to plant. ”

As he spoke, Wang Jing lifted the wet cloth on the car, and the cloth covered it with green rattan, which should be the seeds of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

This is a decision made by Liu Wan after discussing with her family, Liu Wan planted more than 5 acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes, all of which have survived, and Liu Wan was very angry to give them to the homeless village for free.

"Free? Excuse me, right? ”

Huang Liangtu held the seeds, his face shocked.
