ancient engineer

Chapter 5

"Uncle Li, do people in the village have good trees?" Hua Mu asked. Although he can solve the problem in principle, he cannot solve the problem in production.

"Yes, do you want to build something?" Uncle Li asked, thinking that Hua Mu had just bought a house, so there should be some lack of furniture.

"I still lack some things at home, but I also want to make other things, so I need several carpenters." Hua Mu said.

"Well, let me ask you. The seeds in this field are safe, and they will be idle for a while. It is easy to find someone." Uncle Li replied, many people in this farm family can do other crafts, and they go to the field when the farming is busy. During the slack time, I do some odd jobs to supplement the family income.

Uncle Li was very concerned about Hua Mu's affairs, so he turned around and went to find someone for him. They were all real people in the village and reliable. He was afraid that if he found someone else, he would bully Hua Mu, a foreigner.The tables and chairs are not very particular. The decorations that Hua Mu saw at the village chief's house are fine, so Hua Mu didn't give too many instructions, and chose a set after seeing a few looks brought by the carpenter.But the main reason he hired these carpenters was to be a big guy.

"See if you can make this thing well?" Hua Mu showed the sketch of the waterwheel he had drawn to several carpenters.

"Sir, why don't you tell us about this thing." Uncle Li was one of the few carpenters in this group, and the others were his apprentices.He really doesn't know how to look at pictures, so he said it carefully.Hua Mu is teaching in the village, so the villagers call him Mr.

"I want to be about three feet tall..." Hua Mu described the waterwheel in detail.After all, he has been dealing with Mu Mu all his life. After listening to Hua Mu's description and looking at the blueprint, Li Sanshu immediately understood.

"Sir, this is a big thing!" Li Sanshu said, implying that if this thing is useless, it will be a waste.

"Isn't there a river at the edge of the village? This is called a waterwheel. If you place the waterwheel on the edge of the river, you can automatically fetch water into the gully in the field, so that it will be convenient to irrigate the field. Didn't I just buy some The field, it is intended to be used there." Hua Mu said.

"This thing can also water the fields?"

"When it's done, Uncle Li can take a look. I also saw it in a foreign country." Hua Mu said.

Farmers are very concerned about farming matters, so Uncle Li decided to organize and build this waterwheel by himself.I also found some skilled carpenters in several neighboring villages to discuss some details.

Most of the fields here are in the form of terraced fields, so it is not easy to get water for irrigation, so Hua Mu thought of the waterwheel.When Li Sanshu and the others were working on the big water truck, he also asked those farmers who rented their own fields to clean up the gullies between the fields and the fields.At that time, the waterwheel took the water and it flowed directly into the ravine, which was convenient for them to fetch water.Although I don't know whether the waterwheel can be done, but these people who rented the fields regarded it as selling flowers to save face, and they were happy to do the hands-on things.

On the day when the waterwheel was completed, almost all the people in the village came to watch. After the village chief heard about the function of the waterwheel, he carefully set up an incense table to worship the god.There is still a lot of wasteland here, but it is a pity that it is very difficult to plant land and fetch water, especially in summer, and the whole family can't manage much land.We planted food in the wilderness, but it is a pity that in summer, we would sweat to death, so no one dared to grow it.If the waterwheel is as Hua Mu said, it must be a good thing, and the family can at least manage a few more acres of land, so how much food will be grown!

Hua Mu didn't stop the village chief's actions, and let the village chief decide on the completion of the project, such as the auspicious time and the required ceremonies.The village head was not sloppy, and called several senior elders in the clan to discuss it together. During the process of the village head offering sacrifices to the gods, everyone in the village was very serious, and even the children were told by the value not to run around. Yes, I am afraid that I have collided with the gods.

Finally, the waterwheel was fully assembled. With the impact of the water flow, buckets of water were lifted up and flowed into the water tank at the highest point. The long water tank was directly connected to the gully in the field.Just like that bucket after bucket of water poured down, those gullies also began to form water flow.

"This... this really doesn't require manpower!" The village chief was shocked, feeling that such a big guy could move on his own without providing any material support, so it was difficult for him to be confident.

"This can really water the fields!" said an old man from the Li family. This man is over seventy years old, and he is a rare long-lived person in the farm family.

"This scholar is incredible..."

"San Wazi, you have to learn from Mr. Hua!"

The villagers also talked about it, and those who were active had already started to talk to the village chief about opening up wasteland.In the past, I couldn't take care of it, but with this waterwheel, I have two of them, and then I can take care of the fields.The old village head also deliberately returned Li Haoxuan's money to buy the wood stored in the village, and he did not let him accept Li Sanshu's salary, saying that it was paid by the clan.Hua Mu wasn't hypocritical, he had a lot of places where he could use the money, so he took the money back.

"Mr. Hua, you are someone who has seen the world outside. If you have something good, I hope you will spend more time to see if it can be used in the village." The village chief said seriously, so that Li Jiacun is based in this suburb of Beijing, and the village head is also a capable person.

"Village chief, don't worry, I will do what I want. Don't I still have an acre of land here? Besides, I came here alone, and I thank the village chief and everyone for taking care of me. Now I have a separate family business." .” Hua Mu said modestly.He thought it would be best to publicize the water truck, so that more people would see it, and it would be easier for his family to find him.

Seeing that summer is coming, when the neighboring villages pass by Lijia Village and see those waterwheels, they feel that they are so novel that they will hesitate for a while.When they understood the function of this waterwheel, they all wanted to move one back to their village.They all inquired about the water truck. Uncle Li did it once. During this period of time, he was also very happy. With Hua Mu's permission, he gave the people in the village several more fights.

Now people from other villages want to do it too, so, let's queue up with money in hand!But Uncle Li is also kind. He made money by making waterwheels for others, and he didn't forget to give Huamu a layer or something.Hua Mu is not a pedantic person, he takes this money for granted, and he understands the awareness of intellectual property rights better than everyone here!

The people in Lijia Village are also happy. This summer, the work of watering the land has been done very easily.Hua Mu now has her own house, and at night, she also goes to the big study in the laboratory to read books, especially some books on the development of ancient machinery, and talks about farm tools to the people in the village when she sees them.

For example, the sickle, the shovel for weeding and the hoe for digging are improved and improved. Although they are small things, they can do farm work with twice the result with half the effort!The people in the village are even more cheerful, thinking that next year they can replant a few acres of wasteland by themselves!The fields here are not expensive at all, and it is even cheaper to open up wasteland, so every household is happy and blooming.Even people in Lijia Village who have seen their wives recently can fall in love with a good girl. This kind of favor comes to Hua Mu, so the people in the village respect him even more.

For a while, the waterwheel became a unique scenic spot in several villages beside Lijia Village, attracting the attention of many passers-by. Hua Mu was happy to see this.
