peasant girl allure

Chapter 119
When the group returned home, Mrs. Liu was still surprised why so many people came.

"Mother, this is our new servant."

servant?all of them?How did their family buy someone?Didn't you say that you hired short-term workers?And buy so much!But she didn't ask in person.

"Now let's identify people first, assign work, then arrange their residences, and start working tomorrow."

The two recognized each other to salute Xiao'er's family and introduce themselves.

Xiaoer spoke out the plan she had thought up before.After arranging the work of each of the two families, Mrs. Liu arranged for them to live in the inverted room in the front yard, and they will start working tomorrow.

When the family returned to the backyard, Shen Chengyao explained to Liu Shi, "There are more and more jobs at home, you can't finish it every day from morning to night, and the three of Rui'er need a book boy to study, so I bought these two. The family is back."

"Alright!" Liu Shi nodded, she also felt that she was too busy at times, and she was getting more and more powerless.

—

Xie An, who has been the boss for many years, sometimes doesn't understand why his new little master always asks him to do things that no one else can do.

Just like today, Xiao'er asked Xie An to help move two sacks of rice out of the cellar, these were the rice seeds she had taken out of the space with an excuse in advance.

"Thank you, steward. You put these two bags of rice seeds in a wooden basin and soak them in the water in this tank."

"Miss, won't these seeds spoil if they are soaked in water!" These rice seeds are better than the ones he has seen before. If they are spoiled, they can't be planted in the spring, what a pity.

"No, I'm going to use it for raising seedlings. Tonight, you can pick up these rice seeds, use those small sacks to pack them into 20 small bags, and put them in the kitchen. It's warmer there, which is good for germination."

"What is seedling raising? There are also these rice that are useless after sprouting. It is still so cold that they cannot be planted in the fields, otherwise they will freeze to death."

"No, didn't you ask you to open up [-] plots of land and fertilize them two days ago? After the rice sprouts, they will be sown on those fields, and then each plot will be covered with a thick layer of straw to keep warm. "I don't know if the waterwheel is ready, otherwise it will be very troublesome to irrigate these fields, Xiao'er thought to herself.

All right?How could so many seeds be planted in those few plots?It's too dense, and there will be no room for the seedlings to grow!He had never heard of such a method, let alone seen it, it was nonsense, Xie An shook his head silently in his heart.

But the master has already ordered that Miss Xiao'er can do whatever she asks, don't worry about doing something wrong, so he didn't say anything more, only thinking that the master wanted Miss Xiao'er to have fun, that's the behavior Such a waste!

"Miss Xiao'er, the master said that my uncle brought the water tanker here, let you go and see where it is installed!" Du Juan walked in and said to Xiao'er, she is Xie An's daughter, she is ten years old this year, and looks ordinary The point is that people forget her appearance in a blink of an eye, but she is smart and quick-witted, with strong adaptability, and now she is Xiao'er's maid.

Xiao'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was finally ready, "I'll be there right away!"

Then he said to Xie An: "Thank you, steward, you have soaked the rice seeds, and hurry over to help!"

"Okay." Although reluctant to give up, Xie An still quickened his hands and feet, and soaked all the rice seeds in the water with heartache.

Xiao'er saw his face full of pain, and she was amused, but she didn't explain it. The facts speak louder than words, and he will know her planting method by then!
She took Rhododendron hurriedly to the two barren hills.

At this time, on the wasteland, long-term workers and carpenters were working together to assemble the waterwheel according to the drawings. Xiao'er looked at these parts of the waterwheel with a little excitement in her heart.

Xiao'er went to the river behind the barren mountain to check again, determined where the two waterwheels were installed, and then walked back.

Then I saw from a distance that Shangguan Xuanyi was walking towards the brilliance of the sun, and the trotting little Fuzi behind him was trying hard to hold a parasol for him, Xiao'er couldn't help showing a smile.

When Shen Chengyao saw the arrival of Mr. Shangguan, he hurriedly saluted. Others saluted when they saw the master's family, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect, and put down his work in a hurry to salute.

Xiaoer was also blessed.

After Shangguan Xuanyi excused himself, he pointed to the waterwheel they had almost installed and asked, "This is?"

"This is a waterwheel, and you'll see what it's useful for after a while." Xiao'er made a fool of herself.In fact, there were waterwheels in ancient China, called overturned carts. Although they are different from the current drum carts, they are the earliest overturned carts. For some reason, they did not appear in this dynasty.

Or the roulette wheel of history, something is lost as it turns.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao'er's petite and cute face with a clever smile that pretended to be mysterious, and the expression on Leng Jun's face softened a lot, his lips were lightly pursed, and those familiar with him knew that he was in a good mood now.

Waterwheel?Shangguan Xuanyi had doubts in his heart. He looked down at the blueprints on the ground. The carriage was a horse-drawn cart, and the ox cart was a cart pulled by oxen. What about the water cart?Does water pull carts?The water flows through this round thing. If the water flows fast enough and the force of the impact is strong enough, the water wheel will turn, and those bamboo tubes... some water should flow into the bamboo tubes. If the water wheel continues to turn, turn Half a circle, the water inside should flow out... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake a little... He understood the function of this thing.

It took a long time for the assembled waterwheel to be assembled by a dozen people. Shangguan Xuanyi had practiced martial arts and was very powerful, so he also helped.

The so-called snow melts is spring. In early spring, the snow melted on the mountain flows down, and the stream is much faster than usual. The waterwheel starts to rotate under the impact of the water flow, and the flowing water guides the water conservancy channel designed by Xiaoer in advance. , into the wasteland, into the pond, without manpower at all!
The people under the bobbin cart were stunned. This thing is actually used in this way. Is this wasteland far from fertile land?
Some people glanced at the two barren hills, a pond was dug on the top of one hill, and then they glanced at the unloaded bobbin truck, this thing can also transport water to such a high mountain top!This is simply against the sky!
Shangguan Xuanyi was also excited. In Minze country, a lot of land was abandoned due to irrigation problems. With this bobbin cart, how much more fertile land will their country have in the future?How many people can eat enough?Wasteland and fertile land will no longer be a dream!

Everyone seemed to be fully charged with electricity for the remaining bobbin cart, full of strength, and hurriedly set it up according to Xiaoer's designated location.

"This is a high-drum trolley, and the combination of two drum trolleys can deliver water up to twenty feet high. The fields are on the mountains, so you can reach them." Xiao'er said to Shangguan Xuanyi, looking at the people who were busy working.

Shangguan Xuanyi watched them install the waterwheel without blinking his eyes and did not answer.

"Miss Xiao'er, you really did a great deed that benefits the country and the people!"

Shangguan Xuanyi blinked his eyes, no, it really benefits the country and the people.
