The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

After Minister Luo brought He Ping'an to the study, he couldn't wait to ask about the cost and usage of the water pressure well.

"Minister, as you have just seen, there are no special requirements for pressurized wells except that it takes some effort. To be honest, I have already dug one in my yard, but it was only used for a short time, only a week. No problems have been found so far, but I don't think there will be any major mistakes."

"After all, this thing has been available in Shanghai for a long time. It's not an orange. There's no reason why it's available in the south but not in the north." He Ping'an is still quite confident about pressurized wells. There's no reason why something that was everywhere in rural areas a dozen years later wouldn't work now.

"Shanghai? You are a genuine old Beijinger, but you know about Shanghai. It's hard for you! You, He Ping'an, a public security officer, have such awareness, but some comrades... Humph!" Minister Luo didn't say much, but just snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Minister, you are too kind. I don't have such a high level of awareness. I have a vegetable garden at home. I usually rely on the weather for food and occasionally get a few buckets of tap water for emergencies. Now that it is dry, I thought of digging a well."

"As for why I know about Shanghai, I met people from Shanghai when I was in school. You know about the bitter wells in Beijing. They are certainly not used to it, and when they complained to me, they talked about the wells in their area." He Ping'an looked ashamed, looking at Minister Luo embarrassedly, talking nonsense.

"You are fooling the Japanese! Okay, I will tell the old man this when the time comes. Let's continue talking about the water pressure well." Minister Luo stretched out his finger and pointed at He Ping'an twice, and continued to ask about the water pressure well.

"In my opinion, this water-pressing well has many benefits: first, it saves manpower and material resources. The country does not have enough well-drilling equipment and fuel to dig wells in rural areas. This water-pressing well can not only alleviate drought and irrigation problems, but also make rural water more hygienic."

"Secondly, you must have felt it when you tested it just now. It doesn't take much strength to pressurize a water well, and both the elderly and children can do it. This can free up a lot of labor. Finally, these water pipes are all made from the 'steel' smelted in our small blast furnace last year. It's a waste utilization, which helps the country recover losses and save costs." In order to get Minister Luo to report the matter, He Ping'an worked hard to explain the benefits of water pressurized wells.

"Your water wells are shallow and the water level is low. If you use so many water wells at the same time, will there be enough water?" Minister Luo said worriedly.

"If it's not enough, we can connect the water pipes to longer ones. And now we are facing the problem of drought. We are already making a profit if we can pump up water. Besides, those things we refined last year will be thrown away anyway..." He Ping'an muttered a few words and didn't dare to say anything else.

He Pingan was confident about the water level. It was not decades later. The current rate of groundwater development and utilization was almost zero. Moreover, this year was the first year of the severe drought. In the previous years, the weather was good and the groundwater level would not drop much even if it dropped. In July next year, there should be another major flood in the area near Beijing. Two years of groundwater resources would still be enough.

Therefore, this water well has a great chance of making a great contribution. Even if it cannot change the general trend of drought, as long as it can earn a few more mouthfuls of food for the people, it will be a great achievement! It is not in vain for He Ping'an to travel through time.

He Pingan was being hypocritical or not. Seeing so many people starving to death outside while he was enjoying a good life in the space, he felt a little uncomfortable. Of course, He Pingan did not deny that if the well was successfully pumped, he and his family would have the capital to protect themselves.

He Pingan took out the water well and reported it. He Pingan thought that he had done his duty to all living beings. After all, he was just an insignificant shrimp. He had explained it to himself and others. Next, he could enjoy the materials in the space with peace of mind. As for the future...

"Okay, I'll just treat this as something you said unintentionally. Don't talk nonsense outside. Do you still have the equipment for the water well? Give me a set, I'll need it later!" Minister Luo was ready to follow He Ping'an's example and do the same thing behind the red walls.

"Yes, it's in the security department of the steel mill! I'll have someone bring it over now." Seeing Minister Luo's agreement, He Pingan stood at attention and quickly replied.

"I can see that you came here today just to ask me to run errands for you! You can get in by yourself, so why do you have to come to my place to do something unnecessary?" Minister Luo saw that He Ping'an was so well prepared and understood what He Ping'an was thinking.

"Hehe...!" He Ping pretended to be stupid and did not answer Minister Luo's question.

"Get out of here now, go to the steel mill and get your stuff. Forget it, I'll go with you, and I'll take the stuff and go to the Red Wall to see the old man," Minister Luo said unhappily.

Then He Pingan led the way and led Minister Luo to the steel mill. However, Minister Luo was not in the mood to joke with the leaders of the steel mill. He said a few perfunctory words, told He Pingan not to leave, and then took his things and left in a hurry.

Inside the red wall, Minister Luo repeated He Ping'an's trick. The old man and his husband and other big men were very happy to see the groundwater being squeezed out. Especially the old man, who tried it himself a few times and said with emotion

"Our farmers are having a very hard time now. In most areas, they still rely on the weather for their livelihood. There is no concept of digging wells and pumping groundwater to irrigate the fields. Even in some areas in the north, they can only carry buckets of water to irrigate the fields every day. They can't irrigate half an acre of land even if they die of exhaustion. But the country is indeed in trouble. Now with this water pressure well, they can relax a little bit!"

"Yes, this water pressure well uses a lever to increase pressure and uses negative pressure to draw up groundwater. We just need to make the handle longer, and then children of five or six years old and elderly people of sixty or seventy years old can do it. This is equivalent to increasing the labor force in disguise. With the enthusiasm of our peasant comrades for work, after the water pressure well is dug, it is estimated that they will not stop working for 24 hours. This drought should be alleviated a lot!" Minister Luo answered on the side.

"You said that this water well was proposed by that young comrade He Ping'an?" The old man stopped what he was doing and asked.

Minister Luo was a trustworthy person, and he directly told He Pingan the reason for his nonsense, word for word. After hearing this, the bigwigs smiled. They were all the world's top wise men, so naturally they would not take He Pingan's words seriously.

The old man then called the heads of the agricultural and industrial departments, and after roughly understanding the number of rural areas in the eight northern provinces suffering from drought and the output of steel from small blast furnaces last year, he preliminarily determined the number of water pressure wells.
