"It's just a matter of marrying someone, you have to live or die, you have a lot of initiative to live with a fool, his IQ of a child of a few years old is not casual..."

"No, it's my father, I listened to your plan last time and reported it to the queen of heaven, not a drop of rain in Luoyang these days, the queen of heaven asked the ministers for a solution, my father saw that this was a good opportunity for promotion, and agreed without thinking about it." Fei Caiwen explained.

"What's the matter with me? I'm not a dragon king, I can rain with a sneeze? ”

Fei Caiwen's tears couldn't stop flowing, and she looked at Qin Mu helplessly, "Qin Mu, just help me, you are so smart that there must be a way to solve it, as long as you can help my father, I will promise you everything." ”

Qin Mu turned his back to her and smiled secretly, then turned around with a serious expression, "Willing to do anything?" That's good to say, I want you to give me a free job for three years in the future, and I will be on call. ”

"That's all?" Fei Caiwen couldn't believe it.

"What, you still want to marry me?"

"Hmm." Fei Caiwen hesitated, "It's not impossible..." lowered his head shyly.

Qin Mu withdrew her head, "What do you think, your father is an official, I am a businessman, do you think officials and businessmen can be combined?"

Don't worry, I agreed to your father's business. ”

"Thank you, Qin Mu, thank you so much..."Fei Caiwen leaned over to Qin Mu and bowed deeply.

In fact, Qin Mu was not moved by Fei Caiwen, but he needed Fei Ran's line to facilitate his future land.

Besides, this matter is ultimately to help the martial queen.

The drilling rig designed by Li Kuan came in handy, the structure of the drilling rig is not difficult, and it can be solved in two or three days if you want to build it, but the difficulty is that today's steam engine can withstand high-intensity work.

At present, there is only one, and only a dozen wells can be drilled in a day, which is only enough for more than 200 acres of watering.

The counties in Luoyang have at least seven or eight thousand acres of land, and the drilling rigs can only irrigate more than 3,000 acres.

In addition to drilling, it is still necessary to bring water from the river into the fields.

Qin Mu found a map of the entire Luoyang, planned a route to eliminate the places that did not need to be drilled, and the rest of the wells were fixed by Datang's professional well-drilling team.

It stands to reason that the use of groundwater in ancient times was very low, and it should be easy to produce water.

Before the sun was set, Xiaoqing and Lao Wu had already rushed home.

Just when Qin Mu wanted to cook and eat, another guest came outside the house.

Qin Mu came to the door and saw a carriage, he looked slowly and leaned over.

Suddenly someone pulled into the car.

"Shangguan Wan'er! What kind of play are you doing? ”

Shangguan Wan'er in the car was wearing a red skirt and looked panicked.

"Let's go." Shangguan Wan'er said to the coachman.

"Where?"

"It's not going anywhere, we can only meet in this car in the future."

"Well, let's talk, what's the matter?"

"Today, Xue Huaiyi reported to the Queen of Heaven that he was going to hold a ritual to pray for rain, and his method was to get relics from you, invite the relics of the whole city to the Dharma platform, and then let them pass on the message of praying for rain to the heavens."

Qin Mu was speechless for a while after listening to this, "The idea that this book man came up with?" Why don't you burn his father and sacrifice it to the dragon king! ”

"Don't talk about this yet, do you really have relics?"

"Yes." Qin Mu took out his front chest and groped in it for a long time and took out a piece, "That's it." ”

"Why do you carry it with you! Isn't this what your ancestors left behind after they passed away? Shangguan Wan'er's face was puzzled.

"What an ancestor, my ancestor is not a chicken, this is the last time I burned the stove to make a flower chicken, the chicken bones can be burned to the extreme, and the relics can be burned."

"Chicken bones!? Qin Mu is not the time to joke now, if such a valuable thing is taken by Xue Huaiyi, what can he do! Shangguan Wan'er said a little angrily.

"It's really a chicken bone, and the relics themselves don't make sense, understand? I can make you as much as you want. ”

Seeing Qin Mu's serious appearance, Shangguan Wan'er picked up the relics in Qin Mu's hand, looked at them carefully, and then leaned over to his nose and sniffed it.

"That's because I'm too worried, but you still have to be careful, Xue Huaiyi is waiting to make a bad deal this time."

"Thank you, talent, this big night will let you run, don't worry, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, I'm not afraid of him."

Qin Mu even wanted to blackmail him.

"Relying on the practice of doing things to ask for rain, this is a means to fool ordinary people, if you pray to God and worship Buddha can be safe and stable, the wind and rain are smooth, where is the change of dynasty."

Qin Mu has always believed that science and technology change life, and the low productivity in ancient times was because no one did it, they were vested interests, guarding their own acres and thirds of land and unwilling to move.

Qin Mu can do the same, but he doesn't want to maintain his luxurious life by oppressing his compatriots like these people.

Instead, he wants to kick over their cornucopia and make them remember that if they don't make progress, they can only wait for death.

"Now that the drought is coming, if there is no rain for another month, then in the second half of the year, there will be no harvest of thousands of acres of fertile land in Luoyang, and how many people will starve to death and become homeless and become slaves." Shangguan Wan'er said with compassion.

Qin Mu smiled and said nothing, and when it was finished, let Shangguan Wan'er experience the best example of technology changing life.

The next day, Fei Ran sent someone to ask Qin Mu for guidance, but Qin Mu directly refused and asked him to wait.

Now the most important thing is to build the drilling rig.

When he came to the steel mill, he immediately ordered him to stop his work and specialize in building drilling rigs.

The happiest person to mention this is Li Kuan, whose design was the first to be put into mass production and was also used for disaster relief, and the pride in his heart filled his heart.

Today's steel mills have a complete set of assembly lines.

The abrasives are manufactured first, and then the assembly and modulation are ready for use after pouring.

The most expensive material for drilling rigs is drill bits and drill pipes, and Luoyang will not have too hard rock layers underground as a plain area.

Qin Mu inquired about the shalf of the well here in Luoyang, which can produce water at the shallowest of five or six meters, and the deepest is only a dozen meters.

Due to modern technology, it is too time-consuming to drill a well of more than 10 meters, and the standard for excluding drinking water is actually about 10 to 15 meters.

The drill pipe adopts a mortise and tenon structure, and only two ten-meter-long drill pipes need to be made.

"Uncle Zhang, how long will it take to build it according to this drawing."

Uncle Zhang took the drawing, the folds on his face were crumpled, and he looked at it for a long time and replied: "There are five gears here, the top is the most difficult to do, it takes a day to open the mold, it is easy to build, a furnace of molten iron can make seven or eight." ”

"Seven or eight? It's too little, so you work harder, I want you to build ten drilling rigs in three days, and each person will be paid ten taels for overtime. ”

"Ten taels! Chairman, are you in a hurry? ”

Sure enough, the people in the city still can't understand or even understand the hard work of the farmers.

Uncle Zhang beckoned to everyone, "The chairman has spoken, and all other work will be put down today, the mold should be opened, and the drawings should be drawn, and this one thing must be done well, ten taels per person." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone grasped the key point, ten taels of silver.

Qin Mu made a rough calculation, and the overtime pay this time added up to give away the monthly profit of Yelan Yu.

It doesn't matter if the money is there, the land doesn't wait for anyone.

Once the solar term is over, the seeds do not germinate due to lack of water, or even are sunburned, which is even more loss.

After arranging everything, Qin Mu specially explained the security work, and he was afraid that Xue Huaiyi and Liu Changqing would make a mistake behind his back and delay the task.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Mu entered the house with his front foot, Xue Huaiyi's people came to Qin Mu's mansion with the edict written by the queen of heaven.

Xue Huaiyi came to the mansion with a high spirit.

"Where is Qin Mu!"

Qin Mu walked out slowly.

Xue Huaiyi held the edict in his hand, "Qin Mu takes the order!" ”

Qin Mu stood there motionless.

"Okay, you dare not be polite to receive the edict of Qin Mutian, you are disobedient!"

"I won't salute you like anyone, you like to say it or not, get out of here after you finish!"

"You! Do you dare to take responsibility for your words today? ”

"What's not to dare?" Qin Mu took out the relics and played with them like walnuts in his hands.

"Isn't that what you're here for? Do you want it? ”

"Since you know everything, don't hand it over."

"It's okay to pay, and the rental fee of five hundred taels will be settled."

"Five hundred taels! This is the will of the Queen Mother. ”

"Is it written in the edict that it will be given gratuitously? As an executor, shouldn't you see it clearly, Datang also talks about the law! ”

Xue Huaiyi held back his anger, "Five hundred taels is too high, how about one hundred taels?" ”

"Six hundred taels!"

"You!"

"This is my dearest grandfather's relic, and I have to add money." Qin Mu said firmly.

"Five hundred taels for you."

"Okay, bring the money first, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other."

Xue Huaiyi's mood gradually calmed down, and he knew that it was a good business to use five hundred taels to let Qin Mu plant and get a relic for nothing.

After waiting for a box of silver to be carried into the mansion, Qin Mu handed over the relics to Xue Huaiyi.

Although I don't know what Xue Huaiyi's calculations are, the money that should be given still has to be given.

"Qin Mu's ceremony will be held in Yingtianmen three days later, but don't forget, I heard that Tianhou and Shangguan Wan'er will also go."

Xue Huaiyi got the relics and left the Li Mansion without looking back.

Along the way, he wondered how to implement his plan.

"Tomorrow I will start to build a Dharma platform in Yingtianmen, and this time I will go out in person."

The little novice beside him nodded.

Qin Mu looked at my box of silver and was happy in his heart, and he just thought about overtime pay, and Xue Huaiyi delivered it to the door.

I don't know why Qin Mu still has a bad premonition.

He was thinking about whether or not he would go to the Dharma that day.

Empress Wu and Shangguan Wan'er were there, even if Xue Huaiyi was bold, he didn't dare to do anything to him, and if he didn't go, he let Xue Huaiyi see the joke.

didn't wait for him to close the door to cook, and came to the door with a anxious face.

"Qin Mu, I came today to discuss drought relief with you, I heard Caiwen say that you agreed to this matter, so..."

Although I helped him myself, I also acted in accordance with the charter, and even overcharged the rent.

His old face is completely lost.
