The peasant girl is mighty

Chapter 136 Building a New Ship

In a small town on the lower reaches of the Dalan River, everyone gathered to drink tea and chat.

Many people looked at the water level of the Dalan River and pondered, what's wrong with this river, it hasn't risen after so much rain the past two days.

People who eat floods and fish out of the way are waiting for the flood, and they have been preparing for the dike to burst since the beginning of summer.

Hope and hope, hope and hope, June passed, and July passed, and August is about to pass.

The young man asked: "Dalan River floods every year, will there be another year?"

"I heard that Mr. Lin has been regulating the river, so there probably won't be any this year."

"That's a pity, it will reduce a lot of income."

Every year, I can earn a fortune by helping to retrieve the corpses.

If there is no accident in the river, there will be no extra income.

"The people in Yizhuang also lost a lot of work this year."

The young man said unconvinced: "The torrential rain in summer has not yet arrived, so who can say for sure what happened to the Dalan River.

And the magistrate issued a document earlier, asking everyone to pack up their clothes and move to a higher place.

Even the magistrate doesn't believe Lin Yu, something will happen to Dalanhe. "

The old man bit the grass root and said with a smile: "I'm still inexperienced.

It is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, if there is a flood, it will have happened long ago.

The magistrate made two-handed preparations for the people in the low-lying areas to move. "

The old man patted the straw sandals to remove the mud on them.

"We are all waiting for the river to rise, but how much water can this river have?
Even the last time it rained continuously for three days and two nights, the river did not overflow the embankment. "

The boatman shouted: "Don't talk about overflowing the embankment, even the dangerous water level is below. This year, there will be no floods."

The old man thought to himself, maybe there will be no floods next year, or the year after, or maybe not in the next ten years.

Looking at the water level of the big river, the old man was very happy.

Mr. Lin managed the river, found the root, and seemed to have solved the problem here.

Those who were looking forward to the great flood were not only those who went out of their way, but also some people in the government office.

They have prejudices against adults' preference for Lin Yu, and they don't believe in Lin Yu's ability. They want a big flood to break the prefect's preference, and want a big flood to wipe out Lin Yu's arrogance.

Looking forward to, looking forward to, summer is over, and autumn is here.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I realized that the rainy season has passed and the flood will not come again.

After the Double Ninth Festival, all the adults came back from their visits and got together.

"Master Zhifu, do you know what is the most discussed issue during the festival?"

Gan Weimin stroked his beard, "There is no flood this year."

"Yeah, in previous years we had a hard time celebrating the holidays, but this year we are very happy.

Master Zhifu, know people and make good use of them. "

"This official also complied, and this Lord Lin also came prepared.

When I was in office, she went to investigate Dalanhe; when I was demoted to raising horses, she went to investigate Dalanhe; when I was reinstated, she was still investigating Dalanhe.

Such a caring person, how can I not use it.

If she is a mediocre person, it's fine if I don't see her.However, Mr. Lin is so capable, it makes me feel ashamed. "

"Yes. Master Lin has made the impossible possible.

She said that it will be completed in two years, but I see that it is completed in one year. "

Excluding her vacation time, isn't it exactly one year?

Gan Weimin began to write memorials by hand to show his merits for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu is not very clear about the meritorious service, she only knows that she should try her best to finish the work before the Spring Festival.

Lin Yu never wastes time in work, and once he devotes himself to it, he won't make excuses for vacation.

After helping Zhang Bin celebrate his birthday, she started excavating channels in Feng County.

This artificial canal is to connect the Grand Canal and facilitate water transportation.

Farmers cultivate the land, and the government collects taxes.

Those who plant beans receive beans, those who plant rice receive rice, and those who catch fish receive fish, no matter what kind of tax it is.

A large part of the tax has to be paid to the imperial court, and the cost of traveling large quantities of rice by land is too high.

Water transportation is the most cost-effective, so water transportation came into being.

It's just digging, it's quick, and she has the tools.

On Zhang Bin's birthday, she opened the treasure box and found another excavator.

It is very simple to dig a river with two excavators and one bulldozer.

But it will take a lot of work to make the river suitable for navigation.

At least the water must be deep to allow the big ship to sail.

But it didn't bother her.

Before Gan Weimin's memorial was finished, Lin Yu had already messed up the canals.

With nothing to do, she looked for a book to read, and A Sheng recommended a book on shipbuilding.

A Sheng said: "The master's family has also started to go to business. This waterway is easy to travel. If there is a good boat, it will be easier to travel."

Lin Yu turned over and became interested, "Now I'm just doing finishing work, why not use it for fun."

Carpenters are indispensable in river dredging work.

They were older than Lin Yu when they played with wood, and some of them played with wood from birth.

Lin Yu spread out the drawings for them to see.

"Can this kind of boat be made? When a wave hits, the boat capsizes."

"This kind of boat not only won't capsize, but can also face difficulties.

This is not an ordinary boat, it can sail in the river and also in the sea.

In the fairy world, there is a kind of people called Vikings, who live in the northernmost and coldest place.

It is this kind of boat that goes out to hunt at sea and sells goods in the city.

When the cargo is heavy, they can sail, and when there is no cargo, they can carry the boat on mountain roads.

This generation has no hidden reefs and no waves like waves, so it is most suitable for this kind of boat to walk. "

Now that Mr. Lin said it, they will have a fun, anyway, they have a lot of time.

Lin Yu asked them to go up the mountain to cut trees. The old forests in the deep mountains dare not go, but the wood outside is also very good.

With a large number of people and local materials, the speed of shipbuilding is much faster.

When making ship planks, Lin Yu found many unqualified ones, and the arcs they made were wrong.

Looking for the reason and following the advice given by the craftsman, Lin Yu flipped through the books in the library and improved the tools for planing and measuring, so that the curvature of the plank fit the curvature of the design drawings.

Whether they are ancient people or modern people, they all have the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work. Once they start working, they want to do the job well and finish the job.

Before the Chinese New Year, a boat as flat as a leaf was built.

Lin Yu patted the keel and said with a smile, "This is a flat boat, flat and big."

On the day when the boat was on the water, everyone around came to see it, and everyone was curious.

"What does the ship look like?"

"Did you do something wrong?"

"Where did you find the carpenter to make it so ugly, it's useless at all."

"When a wave hits, the boat capsizes. What's the use of such a boat?"

With everyone's disbelieving attitude, Lin Yu asked people to put the boat into the river.

"Can it be done?"

"Let's bet on whether the ship will sink."

"I bet that the ship will capsize if I put down [-] pennies."

"I'll pay five taels of silver to bet that the boat won't capsize. This is a boat made by Mr. Lin, how could it capsize."

"I also bet that it won't turn over. Master Lin said that this boat is a boat for gods, so it must have its advantages."

When the people next to him heard that it was a boat used by gods, they immediately bet that it would not capsize.

There are too many people betting, making the banker afraid, praying that the boat will capsize as soon as it hits the water.
