Physician and Food [Farming]

There is an extra long-term worker in the family, and he is also diligent.Some things don't need to be done by Gouwa himself.Instead, let the wind go, the family plans to recruit another permanent worker.To have a clean family background, be honest and responsible.

These days, there are quite a few people who are willing to go out and look for work, but those who are serious and satisfied are rare.

Soon after the news was released, someone came to find a job, but they were either from the village or relatives of the villagers.How many are related.

Such a person, Gouwa has scruples in his heart, so he lied and said that the nobles in the family didn't like him, so he just let it go.

Gou Wa would do a little work when he was free, but most of the work was done by Zheng Si.Gou Wa took a look at it, but still felt that it was a bit hard for Zheng Si to do the work alone.Besides, I plan to support more in the future, and it is inevitable for a person to be in a hurry, so this person still has to continue to recruit.

The pumping well also needs to be dug, and Gouwa longs for something convenient that can water the fields anytime, anywhere.Not to mention the drought period, even when there is plenty of rain, there will be ten and a half months of no rain in the sky. If you use this to irrigate the land, the grain harvest will definitely be better than usual.

Since Gouwa took a fancy to this, Tie Dan drew a sketch through the system, and asked Zheng Si to take the time to send it to Yunyan in the city, and asked Yunyan to find a skilled craftsman to build it.

The principle of the water pump itself is not difficult, and it is not difficult to make it.

It's just that how to explain the origin of this thing requires a lot of thought.

The following days will be the same as previously arranged.Tie Dan lived here for five days, and then drove back to the city in Zheng Si's carriage.The reason for Zheng Si to go to the city is naturally to visit and deliver goods, and to buy some needed things for Gou Wa.

Gouwa has been in a shadow since last time, except for going to Lanzi once every ten and a half months to see how the mother and child are doing, she rarely goes to the city again.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.God still didn't drop a drop of water.The villagers were still in the mood to gossip.But seeing that it is not raining and the crops in the field are wilting, it is inevitable to frown.

Even if it rains tomorrow, this year's grain is destined to be in short supply.

Lizheng has already prepared a disaster report and sent it to the local management. He only thinks that the people above are good people. If the harvest is not good this year, the tax revenue will be reduced for one year.

What I am most afraid of is that the people above also reported the disaster to the capital, and even said it was more serious.But taxes are still collected here as usual.At that time, taxes will be collected here, and money for disaster relief will be given to the capital on the other side.All the money here and there went into the pockets of corrupt officials to fill their own pockets.

But this year is obviously better.The original county magistrate was overthrown.Although the county magistrate who came up to the top didn't know what his nature was, at least he just started to take over, and he always did things with his tail between his legs.Even a black-hearted person would not dare to do some things blatantly.

Gou Wa has already invited people in the village who are good at digging wells, and first started to direct people to dig a well near their own land.

In such a year, it is normal for someone to drill a well with a lower level, and no one thinks it is wrong.But Gouwa gave the copper coins and also provided meals.The treatment is very good, and everyone in the village is happy to come to work.

The well diggers are all experienced. They are particular about where the water can come out and how to dig the well so that it will not collapse.After a brief study, the job was done.

After the well was dug down, Gouwa bought a lot of blue bricks and built the surrounding area. As the well was dug down slowly, the things that should be prepared by Tie Dan were almost ready.

The villagers also felt the strangeness of his digging the well.I asked Gouwa several times.Gouwa didn't say anything.

Later, when the materials were all in place, the well began to produce water with the depth.Tiedan began to personally supervise and direct these people to lay tools and connect pipelines.

The smelting technology in this era is fairly mature, but the price of metals is still relatively high.At this time, seeing so much metal buried in the ground, I felt distressed and flustered.

After the underground pipes were laid, Tie Dan began to send people to transport several carts of boulders.That stone weighs two or three tons to say the least.

Tie Dan didn't follow everyone else, but just ordered the people to lay the boulders. These boulders were piled up in ridges, and the pipe was in the middle.Then, continue to put the pipes in along the gaps in the boulder ridges and connect them well. In this way, the boulders are stacked up to a height of more than one foot, and then the surface water pump is installed.

The stacking of boulders is quite considerate, almost arranged in a trapezoidal shape, and it is easy to walk up.

After the installation was completed, Tie Dan asked Zheng Si to bring a pot of clean water, pour the water into it as a primer, and then found a strong one to keep pressing the pump.After a while, I saw water gushing out continuously.

Everyone was amazed and asked what happened.

Before Gouwa could explain, Tie Dan first said: "Shutou read the paintings in Westerners' books. Look inside the paintings, so that you don't have to lift the water up, and let the water come out by itself. Now for an experiment, Indeed, as long as you press it, water will come out.”

Gouwa looked at Tie Dan in surprise, Tie Dan never blushed when he lied, and what he said was reasonable.

"This foreign thing is really convenient. Now you just need to use bamboo to drain water into the ground, and people only need to press the water pump here, and the water can flow into the ground. It saves time and effort to irrigate buckets of water."

A child in his early ten years old asked a little arrogantly: "Then it's okay to carry water by yourself at the well and use bamboo to deliver water like this?"

Gou Wa glanced over and said, "Putting water up is also a labor-intensive job. Whether it is lifting the well up or pulling it with a shaft net, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This one just needs to be pressed down and the water will come out. It is hard work, but two people take turns." If it comes, it won’t take long to finish watering the ground.”

A woman behind said pleasantly: "This is great. Turn around and get a few more in the field, and the whole village will not be afraid to irrigate the field."

Another man poured cold water on it and said, "How can we have so much money to buy that iron?"

"Can't you use bamboo?"

"The bamboo will rot within two years."

Gou Wa looked at Tie Dan, and Tie Dan nodded to him.

Gouwa's voice raised a little: "Whether this is useful or not needs to be tested. If it is feasible, after my house is filled, everyone will use it first, and prepare bamboo drainage at home. Then come and pump water to irrigate your own land. My family has little land in the first place, so I did this just to see if we can use it together.”

As soon as Gouwa said this, there was a burst of applause.In addition, when everyone thought of the lock, they didn't resist as much as before.After all, it was the kid who discovered this fun thing first.If this is really easy to use, it will really help the whole village a lot.

Although there is a lot of land in the whole village, I don't know how many people they want from door to door.But there are some on the bamboo mountain, which can be stretched very long.Even if it can't be put directly into the ground, it is far more convenient to get water from here to irrigate the ground than to get water from the well in buckets.

Afterwards, without Gouwa asking, the others rushed to help put up the water-receiving bamboo shelves. Hundreds of high and low shelves were made, and they were erected while doing it.Because the well is right next to the ground, first place the shelf on the ground of Gou Wa's house.And ditches have been dug on the edge of the ground, and it will be controllable which furrow the water enters.

After the water diversion was put in place, seeing the water continuously flowing into Gouwa's field, everyone seemed to see the water flowing into their own house, and they couldn't help feeling excited.

A large piece of bamboo on the mountain has been cut down, and there are more things to catch water in the village.There is a saying that water flows to the lower places, so if you want the water to flow into your own land better, you must use the shelf to let the water flow from top to bottom in the direction of your home.

Tie Dan saw that they were all busy.Look at the smiles on their faces and the various shelves on the ground.Suddenly, he really had the illusion of being infinitely close to the world he lived in.

Even compared to this place, it is still very backward.But compared to other areas here, this place has taken a big step forward.

Perhaps, developing it into semi-industrialization is enough to develop it into the forefront of world progress.

For a moment, Tie Dan's ambition also grew.

But it was only for a moment, and this thought was quickly thrown away.

Not to mention whether there will be a so-called out-of-control balance mechanism, even if there is no, Tie Dan is too lazy to set such a big goal and let himself work day and night.

In contrast, he wants to close the door and live a good life with Gou Wa.

In less than three hours, several acres of land in Gouwa's family were completely irrigated.This speed is much more convenient than carrying buckets of water.

Soon, the water flowed along the bamboo and flowed into another land closest to Gouwa's house.Seeing the field gradually getting wet, the family's eye circles were red.

Now someone has started carrying water to irrigate the ground.It's just that the movement is too slow.It is a big project to pour all the water, and it may not be able to play a big role.Now with this, it can be poured in two or three hours, which saves a lot of trouble.

Tie Dan directs the place of the water pump: "Look back and find a piece of wood and make a basin with water leaking at both ends. Then divide the water into two sides, so that at least two of them can be filled at the same time. If there is a lot of water, you can continue to divide the water when it reaches the ground. Irrigate two plants, which saves a lot of time and avoids frequent scaffolding. Moreover, one person from each of the four families can take turns to press the pump, saving manpower."

This is probably the first time that Tie Dan has had such close contact with the villagers and talked so many words to them.

The others listened very carefully, and it was inevitable that they would say a few more words to Tie Dan.It's just that Tiedan looks easy-going when he talks, but he doesn't talk to others easily at ordinary times.If the person being harassed commits a crime, simply change the place, and Zheng Si will come out to stop the person at that time.

Everyone in the village began to use it, but Tie Dan brought some larger stones, found a group of people and mud in the village to put on the top of the stone steps, and began to build a house around the well.This time, not to mention the villagers, even Gouwa couldn't understand it.
