Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-February, the barley jointing period was approaching, and the manure piled on the high slope outside the village was still fermenting.

Composting will generate high temperature during fermentation. If it is not dredged in time, it may explode. Although Tong Ran had someone dig a ventilation channel in advance, he is still worried and checks it himself three times a day.

These days, Tong Ran's righteousness has been growing through the path of invention and hard work, and he has climbed to the ninth rank of the lower Huang rank, and is not far from being promoted to the middle rank of the Huang rank.

Tong Ran checked the composting situation and was about to leave when Yan Shishi stopped him.

Today, Yan Shishi happened to be in charge of taking care of the compost. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Tong, when will this compost be ready? The barley will be in the jointing stage soon, and we are all waiting for the fertilizer."

Tong Ran pondered for a moment and said, "In about a few days, if the fermentation time is insufficient, the effectiveness of the fertilizer will also deteriorate."

Yan Shishi also frowned. Everyone in the village was willing to listen to Tong Ran, but the fertilizer was not available for a long time, so everyone was worried.The topdressing of barley before the jointing stage is the most critical. If the topdressing is sufficient, the wheat will grow tall and strong.

They didn't expect that the compost would have to ferment for so long, and if they missed the good time for top dressing, even if it was the fairy dew of the Queen Mother, there would be no way to recover.

Tong Ran knew their worries. He had asked the village chief carefully about the barley jointing period, and he must be able to catch up.

But at this moment, the sorrowful faces of so many people were pressing on him, and it was uncomfortable, all Tong Ran could do was to encourage them to get through the last few days.

Wu Facai lay with his feet crossed on the small soil slope next to his home. He was really glad that he didn't foolishly send all the animal manure to compost.

The barley's jointing period is approaching, but the compost has not been ready for a long time.Now, only his family has enough manure for the whole village, and everyone is waiting for the composting stall. His family has already used manure to irrigate one side of the land.

Maybe it's because he's very lucky this year. After topdressing, the jointing period is a few days earlier than in previous years, and the barley in his field has shown a tendency to grow upwards.

Looking at the barley that had already started to grow in his own field, and those that were still sallow and emaciated in other people's fields, Wu Facai felt relieved for a while.

"Divide the fat, divide the fat!" Someone yelled loudly, and the people who were bending over to work in the field raised their heads one by one.

Gained weight?

what fat?

What else can it be, compost!

The compost that has been standing for more than 20 days is finally ready!

Farmers cherish their shoes and socks, and they are barefoot when they go to the ground. At this time, it is too late to wipe their feet and put on shoes and socks. One by one, they lift their muddy legs and rush to the composting place, leaving mud marks all over the ground.

"Everyone, don't worry, come one by one, everyone has it!" Wu Fuqiang and village chief Wu took the small notebooks recorded on the day, and distributed compost one by one according to the amount of raw materials provided.

Most people bring the same things, so it is not too difficult to divide them.

Those who participated in the trench digging that day could get more, but Wu Facai's family, who only brought a few leaves and branches, only got half a barrel.

Wu Facai picked up the bucket and said with a smile: "Nephew, you are too stingy, but your cousin is smart, and the manure is kept without participating in the composting of the waste. Have you seen my land? The crops are growing fast .”

Wu Fuqiang ignored him: "Next."

Wu Facai was not angry, he looked at these people who had just received the fertilizer smugly, but he had already caught up with the fertilizer.

After a few days, the rest of the village finished top dressing one after another.

Wu Facai went around, and the barley of other families just started to grow, and it was not as tall as theirs.

Wu Facai was very happy, and went back to brag with his wife and son, and Facai's daughter-in-law slapped him on the head. This idea was thought up by my mother. Without my mother's idea, would you be where you are today?

Wu Facai was most afraid of his daughter-in-law, so he immediately raised his thumbs up and said, "My daughter-in-law has more ideas and clever tricks. Let's go to other people's fields together some other day, but she is much shorter than ours."

A few days later, Wu Facai and his wife passed by Wu Fuqiang's land. The land was so close to his house that the barley on both sides was already the same height.Wu Facai rubbed his eyes, his barley was still growing these days, why Wu Fuqiang's family had already caught up.

"Uncle and Aunt Tang, is my wheat growing well?" Wu Fuqiang asked loudly when he saw him in the field.

"Okay." Wu Facai said sullenly.

He topdressed the fertilizer early, and the wheat jointed early, Wu Fuqiang and the others were late, but now they are the same height.Does this mean that Wu Fuqiang's wheat will be higher than theirs in the future?

"How could this be?" Wu Facai whispered to his wife.

"It's just that theirs grow faster. We also put on a lot of fat, so we won't be worse than them. Don't worry." Wu Facai's daughter-in-law said.

Wu Facai felt relieved after hearing what his wife said.

In the next few days, Wu Facai still wandered around the fields, but the more he wandered, the more desperate he became.

His family's wheat is growing every day, which is a happy thing, but other people's wheat is not growing slower than him, but taller and bigger, with stronger stalks.

"This compost is indeed a good thing. The barley in my family is more than a palm taller than last year, and the stalks are also stronger." Wu Facai passed by the village mill and heard some women bragging while grinding flour.

"Yes, yes, Tong Tiangan's method is really good. It will be more useful if you post it there."

"In the future, we will make it every year, so that every family can have enough food."

"That's right, that's right."

It is a great thing to have more food, but Wu Facai couldn't be happier when he saw that his own wheat was shorter and thinner than others.

Righteousness surged around the courtyard where Tong Ran lived.

In the room, he was sitting cross-legged, with streams of righteous energy crazily gathering in his body.This time, he learned the previous lesson. The composting came slowly, but everyone top-dressed at the same time. Once this effect came out, righteousness surged from all directions, and it couldn't be stopped.

Tong Ran held his breath and focused, drawing all the power of perception into his body, and tried his best to refine the surging righteousness.

Qiu'er opened the door and came in to call him, but saw him lying cross-legged on the bed, and the little tiger was also sleeping on the side.

Qiu'er has followed Tong Ran these days, and his thoughts of righteousness have risen again, and he has reached the fifth stage. Now he can faintly feel the fluctuation of righteousness around Tong Ran, knowing that he is trapped by the gathered righteousness again, and must practice as soon as possible. change.

Qiu'er didn't dare to disturb him, so he closed the door and went out.

The little tiger was sleeping on the quilt next to Tong Ran, the room was full of righteousness, and the fur on the tiger's head trembled slightly.

Holding a vermilion pen in his hand, Chu Jun was sitting in the East Nuan Pavilion of Xuanzheng Hall reviewing papers. Suddenly, a surge of righteousness filled the hall.

He stopped writing abruptly.

Taking a closer look, the righteousness disappeared without a trace.

Su Jin leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Did you feel anything?" Chu Jun asked.

"What?" Su Jin was at a loss.

The eunuchs who could serve beside Chu Jun were all upright, and Su Jin was the best among them. However, neither the other people serving in the palace nor Su Jin seemed to feel the change just now.

The feeling just now was too real, definitely not an illusion.

Chu Jun hesitated for a moment, put down his pen, got up from the dragon chair, and walked out quickly.

"Your Majesty!" Su Jin hurriedly chased after him, only to see Chu Jun turning a corner and entering the bedroom.

As soon as Chu Jun stepped through the threshold, he couldn't wait to take off his clothes. The servant on duty inside was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to come up to help or kneel down to salute.

Chu Jun's movements were so fast that the little servant didn't have time to make any decisions. He had already taken off his robes all over the floor, turned on the bed, and fell asleep.

The little tiger opened his eyes, the beams creaked, and the shabby farmhouse was filled with a surge of righteousness.

Tong Ran sat in the center of the vortex, frowning.

He had already refined a lot just now, but for some unknown reason, there was another surge of righteousness, which made him dare not relax for a moment.

The little tiger got out of bed, stopped on Tong Ran's lap, closed its eyes and invaded Tong Ran's Lingtai with its power of perception and righteousness. It also accurately felt this righteousness which contained huge energy.

The little tiger didn't dare to delay, and condensed his mind to help Tong Ran refine it.

Tong Ran's power of perception was almost smashed into pieces by the surging righteousness. He was exhausted, but just when he was exhausted, a familiar force broke in, quickly stabilized the situation, and rescued him from the fierce vortex of righteousness .

This power is very similar to the power of the voice that came to help him when he condensed the seed of righteousness, and he often felt it faintly during the next few refinements.At first he thought it had something to do with Fan Heng, but as his level of righteousness got higher and higher, he knew that this was not something that Fan Heng of the mysterious level could do. The master of this power was at least the ground level.

Who is this person?

Tong Ran didn't have time to think about it, he had to use up all his perception power to deal with the surging righteousness with the help of this power.

With help, the speed of refining became faster and faster, and a large amount of pure energy was injected into the seeds of righteousness, and Tong Ran clearly felt the rise in the level of righteousness.

He is now at the ninth rank of the lower yellow rank, and after accelerating the refining process, his righteousness quickly soared to the peak of the ninth rank, heading towards the higher middle rank of the yellow rank.Tong Ran felt as if he was climbing stairs. He climbed under a certain roof, and there was a small door on it, and he wanted to knock it open.

The rapidly refined righteousness hit this floor one after another, making a bang-pong-pong noise, almost, only a little bit, Tong Ran exhausted all the power of perception, and the refined righteousness poured in continuously The seed of righteousness.

Chu Jun's full attention is also concentrated here. A lot of extra righteousness is needed to advance to a higher rank. It seems that the difference between the lower-rank eighth-rank and the lower-rank ninth-rank and the lower-rank ninth-rank to the middle-rank are all one step apart. In fact, the righteousness consumed is much more. Much more.

Sixty percent, seventy percent... Chu Jun has gone through these processes, and silently calculated for Tong Ran in his heart, ninety percent...

Breakthrough.

Suddenly, all the righteousness was quickly refined and absorbed, the creaking beams quieted down, the swelling feeling that tore the body disappeared, and Tong Ran felt a burst of relief.

He opened his eyes, and the power that helped him disappeared at the same time as he relaxed.Tong Ran released his righteousness to investigate again, but found nothing, the other party's rank was far above his own, it was really easy for him not to be found.

Tong Ran lowered his head, his lap was warm, and the little tiger lay obediently on his lap, its green eyes swept across Tong Ran, and then quickly lowered its gaze.

"Zai Zai, what's the matter with you?" Tong Ran stroked its hairy head, the little tiger didn't resist, and looked very tired, drooping its head lazily.

Tong Ran picked up the little tiger and wrapped it in his arms. It looked smaller when it was curled up in a ball.

"Zai Zai, why haven't you grown up?" Tong Ran said.

He has been a little worried recently. It stands to reason that animals grow and develop faster than humans, and it is normal for a tiger of this age to change every day.

"Wow." The little tiger replied listlessly.

Tong Ran adjusted his posture so that the little tiger could curl up more comfortably.Usually the little tiger was always running around, demanding a lot and being aggressive, so Tong Ran didn't think too much about it, but now seeing it limp, Tong Ran couldn't help but have bad thoughts in his heart.

Of course, there is another possibility. His cubs are some kind of breed that won't grow up, or some kind of genetic mutation. Tong Ran has little knowledge of biology, so he can't tell why.

In this day and age, many people raise dogs to guard the house, but they seem to have never seen a professional veterinarian, and they don't know whether ordinary doctors can cure tigers. Tong Ran secretly plans to take the cub to the doctor in the county to see him when he has time. .

Tong Ran put the little tiger under the quilt, got off the bed, and stretched.

It was really dangerous just now, if it wasn't for the help of that mysterious force, he would have sacrificed his life again.

"Brother Tong." Qiu'er knocked on the door and came in.

Tong Ran is stretching his body, doing a set of simple movements in the room to stretch his muscles and bones.

Qiu'er said again: "The village head and Wu Fuqiang are here, can you tell them to come in?"

"Let me go out and let Zai Zai rest for a while." Tong Ran said, he covered the little tiger lying there limply with a quilt, and asked Qiu'er to go to a house with sheep to beg for some goat milk. Comfortable, don’t eat meat at night, drink goat’s milk.

As soon as Village Chief Wu and Wu Fuqiang saw Tong Ran coming out, they immediately greeted him with beams of joy on their brows.

"Tian Jian, your compost is really useful. Every family's wheat has grown taller than last year, and the stalks are also very strong!" Village Chief Wu said.

Wu Fuqiang also nodded in agreement: "Have you gone to the field to see it? There will definitely be a good harvest this year."

Tong Ran nodded: "I have seen it." Not only have I seen it, but he has listened to it over and over again.

"By the way, Tian Tian, ​​what do you want us to do?" Wu Fuqiang asked again.

Earlier today, Yan Shishi sent messages to them respectively, saying that Tian Tian was looking for them.They asked Yan Shishi, but Yan Shishi didn't know what it was. They met when they were going out, so they came together.

Tong Ran invited them to sit down at the wooden table in the courtyard, and said, "After the jointing stage of barley, there are the earing and heading stages. Water is most needed during these two stages. What are your plans?"

Village head Wu and Wu Fuqiang looked at each other.

Wu Fuqiang said: "How else can I plan, of course I pray for a few more rains, and then use some strength to fetch water from the well to water it."

In Xiaoguo County, there is no water on the ground, but the underground water resources are quite rich. Even in the driest time, the well water has not been dried up. Therefore, no matter how hard the life is, many people still stay.

However, the efficiency of digging wells to irrigate the land is low, so they have never really solved the problem of crop water shortage.

Tong Ran didn't say anything, but Wu Fuqiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in the middle of speaking, and asked Tong Ran, "Can you pray for rain?"

"How is it possible?" Tong Ran laughed, he is a human being but not a god, how can he be the master if it doesn't rain.

After Wu Fuqiang said this, he also felt that he was too ridiculous, so he smiled embarrassingly.

Village head Wu was not as imaginative as he was, and asked Tong Ran directly: "Is there really a way for Tian Jian to get enough water for the fields?"

This time, Tong Ran nodded readily.

After the composting incident, Tong Ran's prestige in Wujia Village was even higher. When Wu Village Chief and Wu Fuqiang saw him nodding, they immediately believed him and asked what could be done.

Tong Ran said: "Irrigate the field with water from the well."

"Well water?" Wu Fuqiang suspected that he heard it wrong. They have been doing well water to irrigate the fields, but it is not efficient and tiring.

Village head Wu thought that Tong Ran didn't understand the situation, so he was about to explain, but he heard Tong Ran say, "What I want to do is not rely on manpower to draw water like you did before, that's too inefficient. The canals are repaired to form an irrigation network that can cover all the farmland, and then forty or fifty wells are dug in various places in the field, and water tanks and water trucks are set up on the wells, driven by manpower, animal power or wind, and the well water is continuously injected into the canals. To achieve the purpose of watering the fields."

"This..." Village Chief Wu was speechless for a moment. He could only understand the general idea of ​​what Tong Ran said, but he couldn't imagine how to implement it at all.

"Then we have to organize people to repair the canal first, but repairing requires a lot of wood, so I have to ask for money to buy it. Everyone in the village is in debt and can't afford it." Wu Fuqiang thought further than the village head, and followed Tong Ran's thinking imagined the first link.

Tong Ran was very pleased. In fact, he could come up with a plan for this matter and let them do it, but these few times he was tossed by righteousness, and he couldn't be so lucky every time, so he consciously divided some The credit goes out to save him from being overwhelmed by too much righteousness at once.

Both Village Chief Wu and Wu Fuqiang were thinking about what Tong Ran said just now, and they didn't know his little plan at all.

Ordinary people would like to have as much righteousness as possible, and it is even more unthinkable to dream of a large wave coming at once. Who would have thought that Tong Ran would be thinking about how to get together less here.

"Don't worry about the money, there will be subsidies in the county." Tong Randao, he had already prepared when he signed the agreement with County Magistrate Deng, and the fourth clause was that the county should provide financial support for him to reform agriculture. .

Wu Fuqiang clapped his hands: "That's great!"

Village Chief Wu said: "Then how should the waterwheel you mentioned be erected?"

They have heard of the waterwheel, but it is usually set up by the river, and the wellhead is so small, how can it fit the waterwheel?

"I will draw blueprints for this later." Tong Ran said, "Major Wu, you are going to raise manpower today. Except for those who are particularly difficult, each household must contribute at least one laborer. If you don't want to contribute, this canal repair plan will not be completed. Repair their fields."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Village Chief Wu said.

Tong Ran said to Wu Fuqiang again: "You are still in charge of the construction of the canal. I have drawn a picture, which is the design of the construction of the canal in the village. You can take it."

Wu Fuqiang is down-to-earth and hard-working, and he is popular in the village, so Tong Ran is very relieved to entrust the matter to him.

The news that the canal will be repaired quickly spread throughout the village. Seeing that the booting period is approaching, every household is worried about the water. The news from the village head is like a timely rain, hitting the hearts of the villagers.

"Is Tiangan going to build water conservancy?" Although they don't know Tong Ran's overall plan, the villagers are immediately excited when this sign comes out.

Tong Ran's composting has been a great success. With the example before him, the villagers naturally support his new decision unconditionally.

In this way, it is very convenient for the village head to find strong labor in the village. Some families have many sons, and they are even willing to pay two or three.

As always, Wu Facai didn't want to go, but the village head said that those who didn't participate would not build canals on his land.Wu Facai panicked when he heard this. Because his family did not use compost, the growth of wheat was already lower than others. If there is still a shortage of water in the future, then he will become the only one in the village who has not had a good harvest this year.This time I have to catch up with anything.

The village chief organized the manpower, and Wu Fuqiang studied Tong Ran's drawings. Early the next morning, they brought the village's strong laborers to start repairing the canal.

Xiaoguo County has nine townships and one village. One village refers to Wujia Village under the direct jurisdiction of the county, while the other villages belong to each township, and each township is responsible for it.

Xiaoshan Township is the nearest township to Wujia Village, so it got its name because its subordinate villages are arranged in a fan shape.

Fanxin Village is a village below Xiaoshan Township. It is just next to Wujia Village. It is only ten miles away, very close.

Uncle Zhao’s family has lived in Fanxin Village for generations, and they make a living by growing barley. Recently, the booting stage of barley is coming soon, and the fields need water. Like Wujia Village, their Fanxin Village is short of water. No sign of rain.

If there is no rain, water must be fetched from the well for irrigation. This trip can only carry two buckets of water, and the speed is very slow. It is impossible to catch up with the watering before the booting period.Uncle Zhao didn't fall asleep all night, and it was his wife who woke him up later.

"Our family can't finish watering, so we can go to the neighboring villages to recruit workers! They are all short of money in Wujia Village, and even if they grow food, they will be squeezed dry by the county. You will definitely be willing to ask them to help."

Uncle Zhao thought about this, and drove his donkey to Wujia Village early in the morning.

Old Uncle Zhao was thinking on the way that when he arrived in Wujia Village, he would find two young and strong people to go there and provide them with board and lodging, plus a bag of wheat a day, which should be enough.I heard that people in Wujia Village often don't have enough to eat, and the conditions of including board and lodging must be a big temptation for them.

It's just that he doesn't know if there are young and strong laborers in this hungry village. If they are all sallow and emaciated, he might as well go to the city to find temporary workers.

When approaching Wujia Village, the humming of pigs could be heard in the distance. Uncle Zhao drove the donkey forward, and when he turned a corner, he saw two teenagers and a group of half-grown piglets.The piglets were protruding left and right on the grass, as if they were playing. Not far away, there was a big cat lying on the sun and licking its paws.

Hey!

Uncle Zhao took a closer look, it was not a big cat, it was obviously a tiger cub!

The little tiger also saw the old man riding a donkey. He changed his posture and continued to bask in the sun.

A few days ago, Tong Ran suddenly came up with a bad idea, saying that he wanted to raise free-range pigs.Ordinary domestic pigs are raised in pig sheds, and Tong Ran said that the pigs raised in this way are not fat enough, and it would be better to let them go out for a walk from time to time.

The people in Wujia Village took Tong Ran's words as an imperial decree, and immediately obeyed, asking Yan Shishi and his half-grown children to take turns to herd pigs for the whole village.

It had nothing to do with it at first, but Tong Ran said that shepherd dogs are best for grazing. Pigs are afraid of shepherd dogs, and dogs run fast and can catch pigs.When the people in Wujia Village heard it, they thought it made sense, but the dogs in the village either starved to death or were killed and eaten, and the whole village couldn't find a single dog.

The villagers went to tell Tong Ran that after thinking about it, Tong Ran assigned a new task to his little tiger—herding pigs.

Later, when Yan Shishi and the others came out to graze the pigs, they took the little tiger with them, which made it much easier.Seeing the tigers shrinking their necks one by one, these piggies only dared to walk within the prescribed range, and they would die if they missed a step.

The little tiger licked its paws. In fact, these pigs were not very good at first.

The sun is shining today, and the little tiger squinted his eyes, drowsy.

A pig fell in love with a flower not far away. It peeked at the tiger lying on the side, and found that the tiger cub was not staring at them. It was overjoyed and ran towards the flower.

Something flashed in the little tiger's corner of his vision, but it didn't even look back, and struck with righteous energy.

Piggy seemed to have been cast with a holding spell, and stopped in place, his four hooves were trembling.

That green-eyed tiger was really scary. Piggy took one last look at the wild flower and obediently went back to the quagmire beside him.

Uncle Zhao didn't notice the grievances between tigers and pigs. He was just a little surprised. How could there be so many pigs in Wujia Village?He got off the donkey and asked Yan Shishi: "Little brother, whose pig is this?"

Yan Shishi glanced at him strangely.He replied, "From Wujiacun, what's the matter with you?"

Are there so many pigs in Wujia Village?Uncle Zhao was slightly surprised. Wujia Village was notoriously poor, and no one in the nearby villages wanted to marry their daughters there.How come there are so many pigs in such a poor Wujia Village?

"Little brother, where did these pigs come from?" Uncle Zhao asked again.

"County." Yan Shishi replied casually.This old man is weird, he doesn't want to say more.

It turned out to be like this, it seems that this is the pig of the magistrate of the county, and the people of Wujia Village are helping to raise it.All the people living in Wujia Village are government tenants, and it is normal for the county magistrate to raise pigs.Uncle Zhao thought he had found an explanation, so he was relieved.

He asked Yan Shishi again: "I want to find two temporary workers. Do you have young and strong men in your family?"

Yan Shishi glanced at him. In previous years, people often came to look for temporary workers at this time, and many young and middle-aged people in their village would go there.Most of the food they grow in their own village will be taken away by the county, and sometimes it is better to grow less and go out to earn some extra money.

But with Tong Ran this year, no one in their village would want to go out.

Yan Shishi said: "Yes, there are, but recently the fields are busy and there is no time to do temporary work. You might as well go to the county town and ask." There are also many landless people in the county town. temporary work.

The manpower in the county town is more expensive, so of course Old Man Zhao would prefer to have cheap manpower from Wujia Village.

"Little brother, your adults may be going. If you don't tell them about such a good opportunity, they will scold you later." Uncle Zhao said.

Yan Shishi said helplessly, "That's fine, I'll take you to the village, but I advise you not to get hopeful, no one in our village will come out to work this year."

"No, no, there must be." Uncle Zhao was confident, and he took the donkey and Yan Shishi to the village.

The fertilization has ended recently, and almost all the strong laborers in Wujia Village have participated in the work of repairing the canal. As soon as the old man Zhao entered the village, he saw a few strong young men carrying logs to the other side.

He hurried to catch up and asked, "Little brother, do you do temporary work?"

The two people from Wujia Village turned their heads. They didn't know Old Man Zhao, but they saw his intentions and waved their hands with a smile: "Old Man, we are still busy with things in our village. Don't do it."

Uncle Zhao was dumbfounded, and the two left with the wood on their shoulders.

Uncle Zhao didn't believe in evil, so he wandered around the village for a long time, and even went to the field.Along the way, he kept asking people if they would do temporary work, and everyone in Wujia Village waved their hands and said, "No, this year will have a good harvest, so I won't do temporary work."

They didn't even do it.

Uncle Zhao twisted his little donkey, and the donkey snorted and kicked its legs.

It hurts, it's not a dream.

But why did the people in Wujia Village suddenly change, and they didn't even want to do temporary work?

"Well, don't you know that a new farmer came to our county?" Wu Fuqiang was also asked by him, and they started talking.

Uncle Zhao really didn't know this. In the past, Tian Jian only scraped money and didn't care about business. Those who had land were not easy to scrape, so naturally they rarely dealt with each other.

"Our newcomer, Tian Chan, surnamed Tong, is a wonderful person. He waived our rent and taught us how to compost. Now he is helping us build water canals. From now on, the land will never be short of water again." Wu Fuqiang said.

Someone next to her reminded her not to talk too much with people from other villages, Wu Fuqiang smiled and left.

Free land rent?Repair the canal?Uncle Zhao was full of doubts.

He stayed in Wujia Village for a day and ate up all the dry food, but he couldn't find any temporary workers.When he went back at night, he told his wife that the people in Wujia Village were repairing canals, and his wife nodded his head hating iron and steel: "You are stupid, what is the use of canals without water? The people in Wujia Village are stupid, and you are also stupid." !"

Uncle Zhao thought, this is the reason, he has to talk to the people in Wujia Village and ask them to work from home.

The next day, old man Zhao went again.

The people in Wujia Village are not repairing the canal, and every family gathers in a small yard.Uncle Zhao also sneaked in, and heard someone in the crowd say that Tian Jian's design drawing came out.

Uncle Zhao patted the young man standing next to him, wanting to ask what happened.

The man saw that he was from another village, and hurriedly called someone to drive him out.

In the small yard, Tong Ran took out three design drawings.

This is what he drew overnight in the past few days, and he changed many drafts.

The well water irrigation he told the villagers before was just his idea. He had seen such irrigation methods in the literature, but how to design these wells required his own hands.

There is a big table in Tong Ran's yard, and the village chief, Wu Fuqiang and others are gathered around the table. Today, people from all over the village, big and small, are here, waiting for Tong Ran to tell them how to build a well.

"I have three designs here." Tong Ran said, he raised his volume with righteousness, and he could hear clearly outside the courtyard.

"Three kinds? Don't use the well?" Wu Fuqiang asked.

"It's used." Tong Ran said, "They are all designed to set up waterwheels on the wells, draw water from the wells into the canals, and use them for irrigation. It's just that the power of the waterwheels is different. I designed three types."

"Is there any difference?" Wu Fuqiang was surprised.

"Of course." Tong Ran pointed to the simplest side of the three illustrations, "This is manual. As long as the handle is turned manually, the wheel on the well can be driven, and the water wheel can automatically draw water for irrigation."

Wu Fuqiang and the others followed what Tong Ran pointed out and carefully looked at the design drawing. This drawing is relatively simple, and most people can understand it at all.

"What about the other two?" someone asked.

"The other two are animal power and wind power." Tong Ran said.

These two designs are relatively complicated, and most people can only understand that one is pulled by a donkey, like a mill, and the other is pushed by the wind.As for such a structure, they don't understand anything except the wheels and waterwheels, which are the same parts as human power.

"We can't understand this blueprint, Tian Tian, ​​how do we make it?"

"Yes, yes, is there something simpler? We don't even know the words. Even if you mark it aside, we don't understand."

"Don't worry, I will go to every house to guide." Tong Ran had expected this link a long time ago. He drew the blueprints for the convenience of construction, but he didn't expect these people to be able to understand the blueprints without a teacher.

With Tong Ran's words, everyone gained confidence again, and they all said, let's build it quickly.

Tong Ran didn't move, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

The noisy voices gradually died down again, waiting for Tong Ran to speak.

Tong Randao: "I called everyone here today, mainly to tell you the differences and advantages and disadvantages of these three types of wells. You can choose which one to build according to your own situation."

Only then did everyone understand Tong Ran's intentions.

Tong Ran said again: "First of all, it is manpower. This kind of well can irrigate [-] to [-] mu of land. The advantage is that it occupies a small area. The disadvantage is that there must be sufficient strong labor at home."

Most families here have [-] to [-] mu of land, and there are more than [-] to [-] mu. If a well is [-] to [-] mu, at least two wells are needed. love to choose.

"Our family can use it." Yan Qi's daughter-in-law said, and the other members of the Yan family beside her also nodded.

The Yan family has a large population, with seven households and three generations living together. Even if five or six manpower wells are built, their family still has enough manpower to push them.In addition, several families with a large population also responded.

When the discussion became quieter, Tong Ran continued: "The other one is animal power, which occupies the largest area. The advantage is that it can work non-stop day and night. The disadvantage is that it is necessary to raise donkeys or cows, which is more expensive, but a well can cost about Irrigate fifty to sixty acres."

"This is good!" Wu Fuqiang said.

His family is small, and he is a young and strong man. Although it is a bit expensive to buy a donkey, animal power is definitely more suitable for them than human power.

"In addition, the size of the wind power is moderate, and one mouthful can irrigate [-] to [-] acres. Because the wind power is unstable, how much water can be irrigated depends on the weather. The advantage is that even if there is not enough labor and animal power, this can also be driven by natural wind power. .” Tong Ran said.

"This is not bad, but it's not very stable." Someone commented.

"Actually, we don't have to choose just one type of well. Each family can build several different wells. Some wells can be used by two families. For example, the animal-powered one. It is not so expensive for two families to raise a donkey. The rest can be used together." With some wind and man power."

"Yes, yes, that's a good idea."

After Tong Ran finished speaking, the villagers began to discuss in a hurry.

Tong Ran listed each required material on the three drawings. After the villagers selected the well they wanted to repair, they began to prepare the materials.Because of the need to use wood or bamboo, many people went to the mountains.

Old Uncle Zhao was squeezed out by the people from Wujia Village, so he didn't hear much during the whole meeting, but he heard one thing clearly. This newcomer Tian Jian really has some ideas. According to him, the water problem is not a problem. That's it?

Uncle Zhao thought about this clearly, and hurried back on his donkey.

In the afternoon of the same day, some villagers got all the materials and began to dig wells.Tong Ran couldn't be idle for a moment. He took the blueprints he had drawn to guide the family. Sometimes the west and the east started work at the same time. He had to run at both ends, and his legs were about to break.

Fortunately, after a few days, some other families in the village who had started work early learned that they were able to help solve some minor problems, and Tong Ran finally got some free time.

This time when repairing the well, Tong Ran was very careful, and when he came up with an idea, he led Wu Fuqiang and Village Chief Wu to say part of it, so as to share the righteousness he had gathered.

When the repair started, he first drew the design drawings.

In this way, the righteousness of the process of creation and invention will come first, and he will refine it first. When showing the design drawings and on-site construction, the righteousness of teaching people how to fish will come again. The two are separated, and the crazy accumulation of righteousness has been avoided. , the danger of body explosion at any time.

As each well was repaired, the accumulation of righteousness was no longer so turbulent. Tong Ran breathed a sigh of relief and refined the righteousness gathered today. His righteousness climbed to the third stage of the middle grade of the yellow rank.

Tong Ran stretched, opened the door and went to the yard, intending to bask in the sun.

But when the door opened, he was dumbfounded.

There was a row of people standing in his yard, the oldest had all white beard and hair, and the youngest looked to be in his 40s.

These people all looked at him with a smile, and saw that he was busy
