To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao had dinner for the Lantern Festival, although she still minded these annoying things a little, but because she was in her own home, she felt much better. After the meal, feeling drunk, she went to the study to write back to Zhao Chao, and wrote and tore up. , I always felt that it was not very satisfactory, so I had to stop writing for the time being.

Anyway, Zhao Chao also told him not to reply to the letter again, let's talk about it when he goes to the battlefield.

At night, when You Miao was sleeping with Li Zhifeng in his arms, she couldn't help saying, "Hey, I'm still comfortable at home."

Li Zhifeng hummed, and said: "Today Tang Hui said that the people who retreated from the border in the Central Plains are migrating to the south of the Yangtze River with their families."

You Miao was about to fall asleep, but when she heard this, she was shocked and said, "What?"

Li Zhifeng sniffed in his ear, stared at him like a loyal wolf dog, and said after a while, "Do you want to?"

You Miao hugged his neck, Li Zhifeng reached out to unbutton his underwear, You Miao kissed the corner of his lips, and said, "What did you just say, say it again?"

Li Zhifeng didn't speak, turned over and pressed You Miao under him. You Miao just listened to panting all night, and almost couldn't care about anything. He hugged Li Zhifeng tightly. The two were lingering together, kissing and talking love In the middle of the night, the red lantern was still on outside, illuminating You Miao's sleeping childish face.

A few days later, early in the morning, while You Miao was still sleeping, she heard voices outside, like a woman screaming excitedly, and a child clapping her hands.

You Miao scratched his neck uncomfortably, turned over and continued to sleep, but it was too noisy outside, he sat up frizzily, and shouted: "Stop screaming!"

But the shouting became louder and louder, and You Miao was so angry that she shouted, "Come on!"

There was no one outside, and even Li Zhifeng didn't know where to go.

You Miao put on her clothes and came down to the ground, ran out with disheveled hair, followed the call, and was about to teach someone when she stood in the backyard but was stunned.

"There's water—"

"Hahaha--"

"Master!"

"Master is up!"

"Morning, young master!"

You Miao stood in the courtyard corridor, staring dumbfounded at the pool in the back garden. A stream of clear water was flowing, and the water level in the pool gradually increased, covering the dry bottom of the pool, and many fallen leaves floated up.

"Why is there water coming in...it's not right!" You Miao immediately realized something, turned around and ran towards the backyard. The rockery and pool in the backyard were full of water noises. When he passed by the bamboo sea, he heard a bamboo tube thump , Knocked on the rock, turned around in an instant, and shouted with joy.

You Miao: "Ahhhh——"

On the other end of the bamboo tube, the cold water flowed from the water pipe he made by himself not long ago, poured it into the bamboo tube, turned it over when it was full, and when it was empty, it reversed again with a thud and hit the rock.

There is water!In other words, the waterwheel on the cliff has been repaired! !

You Miao ran to the backyard, got on her horse and ran towards the high ground. Along the way, the tenants came out, and the canal was filled with clean water.

"I'll fuck you!" You Miao rode over amidst the laughter of the craftsmen and shouted, "Why don't you call me!"

Li Zhifeng held an iron tenon in his hand, his bare shoulders were covered with sweat, he was strong and handsome in the sun, his robe was loosely draped around his waist, and when he turned his head he smiled at You Miao, who couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

"Try to make it move first!" Li Zhifeng shouted, "I didn't call you because you were still sleeping!"

You Miao passed by, and the craftsmen below were cheering. I saw the bucket on the waterwheel rising slowly, exactly as imagined. It was pushed up by the river to the hundreds of feet of the cliff, and when it turned around, the water was poured into the canal. In the middle, You Miao was overjoyed and laughed. The excitement was hard to describe in words. The whole canal was filled with clear water in an instant and flowed down the mountain.

"Great!" You Miao hugged Li Zhifeng, jumped and shouted, Li Zhifeng just smiled and patted his head.

Surprisingly, a few fish were brought up by the water bucket, flopped and fell into the ditch, and swam away along the water.

Below, old craftsman Huang was shouting, "Stop!"

Several craftsmen worked together to pull the mechanism, and the waterwheel stopped again, obviously still being debugged.

You Miao simply went down to the river and sat there.Seeing the craftsmen debugging, Li Zhifeng is really amazing, busy up and down according to the old craftsman Huang's instructions, and can control the mechanism that only five or six craftsmen can move with one person's strength.That day was busy until noon, and Old Craftsman Huang was annoyed by You Miao's questions. Finally, in the evening, Old Craftsman Huang reluctantly nodded.

"Young master, let's open it." A craftsman said.

"How... how?" You Miao was a little nervous. There were people standing on the cliff and by the river. Many people came from Guozhuang, and even more people came from Anlu. They were all looking at You Miao's masterpiece.

Li Zhifeng put his hand on You Miao's and said, "Are you ready?"

You Miao nodded, Li Zhifeng exerted a little force, held You Miao's hand, and the two of them pulled out an iron box that fixed the rotating shaft.

The waterwheel made a loud noise and started to turn, then turned faster and faster, bringing the river water up to a high place. Immediately, there were cheers everywhere, earth-shattering cheers. At that moment, You Miao wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, looking at Zi The blue sky couldn't help trembling, and finally hugged Li Zhifeng's waist, and buried his head on his chest.

The two of them watched the big water wheel slowly turning, as if they had opened up a brand new future.

After the waterwheel was built, Ye Youmiao treated the guests with wine without being stingy at all. Everyone who came ate the banquet, set off firecrackers, opened good wine, and entertained the craftsmen. Filled with water, it really restores the whole picture of the quiet garden a hundred years ago.

If this villa, this courtyard, every plant and every tree were in Yangzhou City, the cost would be at least 10 taels of silver.

The canal was filled with clean water, and the water flowed down the hills in a steady stream, and poured into the big lake behind Zhu Tang's house. After a few days, the water would flow out of the villa along the stream and flow to Anlu.

This is a huge project that has truly benefited this place for a century. From this day on, the [-] mu of fertile land in Jiangbo Villa will no longer be troubled by drought or flood.The village head of Guozhuang couldn't help but admire You Miao's foresight. In just a few months, he managed a piece of wasteland that no one cares about.

You Miao paid the craftsmen wages, and together with Qiao Jue, both of them had nothing left. Fortunately, from now on, there was almost no place to spend money.

Spring is here, the sun shines in people's hearts, and their bodies are warm. Qiao Jue personally took people to Liuzhou to buy, and You Miao sat at home, lying in Li Zhifeng's arms and basking in the sun. Luscious green flower seedlings emerged, the sound of gurgling water, and the soft sound of bamboo tubes thumping came from the backyard.

"I'll stay here all my life, and I won't go anywhere." You Miao said comfortably.

Li Zhifeng said lightly: "The land has not been rented out yet, we have to wait for someone to come to our door."
