Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen explained: "The location of the reservoir cannot be too close to the canal. If it is too close, the embankment between the reservoir and the canal will be weak. No matter which link is wrong, it will inevitably cause irreparable consequences."

Liu Dianshi nodded after hearing this.

The water storage capacity of the reservoir is very large. If there is a problem with the river embankment, once it collapses, nearby fields and villages will definitely be flooded.

"Our reservoir can be built on the embankment of the canal, and then the distance between the reservoir and the reservoir can be lengthened. In this way, the distance between the reservoir and the canal will be far, so the embankment will not be washed away."

Magistrate Su couldn't help but ask: "You are talking about the problem of the reservoir, but how to transport water from low places to high places, this problem is still not solved?"

Ye Zifen smiled bitterly, "Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."

Then Ye Zifen drew a few more windmills on the drawing, as well as two strange parallel lines.

Then Ye Zifen explained to them while pointing at the things on the drawing.

"This is how I think about it, using the wind power of the windmill to drive a conveyor device. Install multiple larger buckets on this device. When the conveyor device transports the buckets to the highest position of the reservoir, it tilts downward, so that The water in the buckets will be poured into the reservoir. The empty buckets will be taken back to the canal by the conveyor belt. This creates a cycle. The river water can then enter the reservoir."

Several people present opened their mouths when they heard Ye Zifen's explanation. Because they felt that this girl's idea was a bit whimsical.

Magistrate Su asked Zifen expectantly: "Have you already made this device?"

Ye Zifen shook his head and replied honestly: "Not yet. There are several parts that have not been figured out yet. This needs professionals to try. I just have a rough idea. It is completely feasible in theory. .”

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Then Ye Zifen drew what she came up with and its various parts, and explained the functions of these things in her imagination.

The people present were stunned for a moment because they had no idea that these things could have such an effect.

Liu Dianshi took advantage of the situation and said: "Since you already know their shape and roughly how to make them, can't we just find someone to make them?"

Ye Zifen explained: "These are just ideal ideas. How to make them specifically and what the dimensions are still need to be experimented. In addition, there are still several issues that have not been resolved."

Magistrate Su said: "How about we bring together all the craftsmen in the county and see if we can solve the remaining problems?"

Ye Zifen thought for a moment, and then said: "You can find someone to make models of these things now, and then try to install them. After the small model can be used normally, then make it larger according to the size ratio. But I think it will take some time. It just so happens that I may have to go out for a while recently, and I will get involved when I come back."

When Magistrate Su heard what she said, he knew that the little girl might be going to the beach.

"Do I have to go in person this time? Can't I stay?"

Magistrate Su hopes that Ye Zifen will personally participate in this experiment.

With her watching the whole process, it will save a lot of detours, and maybe we can actually make this thing.

When this thing is made, it will not only be used to store water, but problems such as agricultural watering can also be greatly improved in the future.

Zi Zifen actually wanted to see the progress of fishing boat manufacturing when she went to the beach this time.

If we hadn't discussed buying food today, maybe she wouldn't have been so urgent and could have stayed this time.

However, because cargo ships were needed to transport food back from the south, shipbuilding had to be given top priority at this time.

Ye Zifen explained: "I have something very important to do this time. This was discussed years ago. There is no way to shirk it."

Magistrate Su also knew that his request was a bit overwhelming, so he said: "Then you go early and come back early. We will start after we have gathered people here."

Ye Zifen nodded and said: "I won't say goodbye to my godmother when I leave this time. I'll save my godmother and she won't be able to bear it. After I leave, you can go back and give your godmother a message."

Magistrate Su nodded.

Mrs. Su has indeed been talking about Ye Zifen a lot recently.

Magistrate Su knew that Ye Zifen was worrying about the upcoming drought recently, so he explained the situation clearly to his old mother.

Therefore, although Mrs. Su was talking about Ye Zifen, she was considerate and did not disturb her.

If she heard that it was such a cold weather and Ye Zifen was about to set off, she would be distressed and angry but would definitely not allow it.

Ye Zifen thought to herself, 'Although it's a bit excessive to kill first and then show off later, her time is very tight, so it would be better to please her after she comes back. ’

Other officials present. He didn't express much opinion about Ye Zifen's upcoming departure.

Therefore, after discussing the matter clearly, Ye Zifen chose to leave.

After Ye Zifen walked out of the county government office, she was suddenly stopped by a voice behind her.

When she turned around, she saw Liu Dianshi walking towards her.

The first thing Liu Dianshi said after he came over was, "Recently, that little girl in my house is always clamoring to go and play with Zifang! His mother came to quarrel with me when she refused. The quarrel made my head hurt, and it made me sick. I don’t dare to go home.”

Although he complained, his face was full of smiles.

Seeing Liu Dianshi's helpless and doting expression, Ye Zifen felt funny in her heart. Another father who doted on his daughter appeared.

I had no choice but to say, "Then let the little girl come and stay for a while. Xiaoqi has been a little busy recently and has no time to come and play with her. Since she wants to go, just send her there. There are plenty of places to live. It's just right." Stay with Xiaoqi."

Liu Dianshi asked: "What is that girl Zifang doing at such a young age? I haven't seen her since a few years ago."

In the past, Ye Zifang either went to the county magistrate's house to accompany Mrs. Su, or went to Liu's house to find Liu Dong'er as her playmate.

"Our caravan is collecting grain, isn't it? We're short of manpower, so I asked him to help with the accounting!"

Liu Dianshi also didn't expect that Zi Zifen could trust a child of just a few years old to do such an important thing.

The hesitant thought in my mind immediately made a decision.

But he said: "I want Dong'er to go there and learn from Zifang, so that I can have fun every day."

Zi Zifen smiled and asked: "Liyan has reached the age of entering private school. What are your plans?"

"I have already said hello to the teacher from our private school. That brat will be able to go in a few days. But judging from his current temperament, he will probably take over my current position in the future! Alas!"

Zi Zifen comforted: "Why are you sighing! The purpose of joining the private school is to make him literate and sensible. What's wrong with succeeding you in the future? As long as there is a way out, it doesn't matter what you do. Not to mention Three Hundred and Sixty Lines, OK OK Get the top prize!"

Liu Dianshi nodded.
