Chapter 20 Water Wheel Promotion
Before going to the pioneering land to promote, Hannis took care of his image a little, took a cold shower in Ian's room and shaved.

After putting on the uniform, he finally looked like a soldier.

The four of them followed Hannes and visited door to door, asking everyone to gather at the riverside tomorrow morning to announce something important.

The workers who had previously made the waterwheel saw Hannis and knew that the waterwheel was about to be unveiled. They were very happy to shake hands with Hannis.

Early the next morning, most of the residents came to the river and saw the rotating wooden wheel.

"This newly developed agricultural tool is called a waterwheel!" Hannis stood on a wooden bench and said loudly: "With this thing, we can irrigate farmland day and night!"

"Although it is difficult to open up farmland in new places, I hope everyone can regain their confidence! This year's crops will definitely be harvested!"

There was a commotion below, and the residents started discussing.

"This is the first time I have seen such a farm tool. It looks like it is rotated by water flow?"

"Great! This way the seeds in the field will germinate quickly!"

"It seems like you can get water here in the future. It's really a good thing."

Hannis cleared his throat and clapped his hands vigorously: "Okay! Okay! Everyone, be quiet!"

Several workers moved tables and chairs, and several literate people sat on the chairs with paper and pens in their hands.

Hannis explained to the residents: "This waterwheel is for public use. Although it doesn't look very big, it can irrigate a considerable area of ​​farmland. People who want to cultivate fields nearby can register with me. After the statistics, After the amount is determined, the use rights of the nearby land will be equally distributed to you, and everyone’s fields can be irrigated by water trucks!”

After hearing what Hannis said, everyone crowded forward.

"I want a field!"

"I want it too! I want it too!"

"Line up, line up!" Hannis called to the workers and soldiers to maintain order.

At Ian's suggestion, he found a few of his soldier friends to help, and managed to get the residents to form a long queue.

The registration lasted all morning, and many names were recorded on the list.

Due to the preferential policies for refugees, there will be no tax on the food produced in the first year. Farmers can get as much food as the fields produce, so everyone who is able to farm is very active.

In the afternoon, under the classification of Ian and others, they distributed the land by the river equally to the residents, with each person receiving almost an acre and a half of land.

The next day they visited again, called the registered residents together, and took them to the river. They designated the location of the land piece by piece. Any opinions or conflicts were resolved on the spot to avoid any major problems in the future. The problem.

It took them two days to divide the land smoothly.

The cattle were brought over to open up new farmland, and the river flowed into the square fields along the canals. There were people working hard everywhere. With the waterwheel, the enthusiasm of the refugees was also ignited.

They dug up seeds from areas far away from the river and transplanted them into new fields.

The new fields are slowly taking shape, but Ian wants to do more than just make this pioneer land a good harvest.There are only 500 people living in this place. In this month, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of refugees have poured into the Wall from Wall Maria. He wants to ensure that these people can be fed in the autumn. Rice, for this reason, waterwheels must be extended to all developed areas.

This matter is not that difficult, because the government and nobles do not have much energy to manage the sudden influx of large numbers of residents. Their management of the pioneer land is basically to let it fend for itself.

If the refugees make trouble because of food, they will be sent to the giant's mouth to be eaten. This is what the government did in the original book.

Except for sending some soldiers to watch, the pioneer land is almost a completely autonomous place, and the promotion of waterwheels will not encounter pressure from managers.

Ian took this opportunity to ask Hannes to help promote the water wheel.

Ian gathered people who had previously built the waterwheel together and formed a waterwheel construction team.

It’s already May and time is very tight.

After Ian explained the stakes to Hannis, Hannis found some of his soldier friends to help. Most of them were garrison soldiers who had escaped from Wall Maria.

These soldiers have their own personal connections.

The soldiers within the wall are trained according to the semester system. The soldiers in each period basically know each other. The top ten can go to the mainland and join the Central Military Police Regiment, and the rest voluntarily join the Survey Corps or the Garrison Corps.

After the soldiers left the military academy, although they were assigned to different villages and strongholds, they would not forget the time they spent training together. Therefore, at least one or two soldiers in each pioneering area knew each other.

Things became very simple. With Hannes' introduction, Ian took the construction team to promote waterwheels in various pioneering areas.

He showed the drawing method of the design drawing to the local carpenters, and taught the carpenters there face to face to build the waterwheel. When teaching, he specifically mentioned Hannis's name and said that Mr. Hannis made it so that everyone could have enough to eat. farm tools.

Then one passed to two, two to four, and the drawings of the waterwheel spread to all the pioneering lands like dandelion seeds flying in the wind.

In just half a month, this thing was publicized in all the pioneering areas, and the name Hannis also had a place among the refugees.

When refugees talk about the waterwheel, they thank Mr. Hannis.

Even the soldiers who pioneered the land had a different view of him, and his reputation rose rapidly. This was exactly what Ian wanted to see.

It's a sunny day in mid-May.

Ian stood next to the waterwheel, listening to the sound of gurgling water. The water flowed into the farmland along the dug channel. The crops were all sprouting and flourishing.

In addition to the waterwheel, he also borrowed Hannis's name to promote the use of human fertilizer. The refugees who rebuilt the village no longer cared about the past tradition of believing that human fertilizer was unclean. For this year's food harvest, the refugees tried their best to Try to find ways to increase food harvests.

"Eren, Mikasa, look!" Armin pointed to the paddy field in front of him: "I can't believe we made all this happen! We did it! Let's live in the pioneer land!"

"No, this is not what we did." Allen shook his head and stared at Ian's back.

The three of them all looked at the back, watching his long hair moving in the wind, and the calmness in his blue eyes.

Armin immediately realized that Ian had been driving all of this from beginning to end. He suddenly felt that one day Ian would do something great and perhaps change the world.
