I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 54 I'm Not Some Saint

Yang Liwen stood by the canal holding the shovel, smiled and said to Guo Yi: "Brother Yi, you see, everyone is boasting that you can find water and dig wells! If you want me to say, you should promise Manager Zhu to let you He asked you for an official position.

You are a scholar, what can you do if you mess with us mud legs all day long?
As the old saying goes, fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, and turtles look for bastards! "

After finishing speaking, he tugged on the sleeve of Yang Lijie next to him, asking him to help.

And Yang Lijie nodded knowingly immediately, and then persuaded: "Brother Yi, the second uncle also thinks that you should agree to Manager Zhu, not to mention, just because of the suffering of those who planed food in the fields haha.

Even if there is a severe drought, the real sufferers will only be the poor and helpless, powerless and powerless.

You are a truly capable person, even if you don't want to be an official, you still have to think about those poor people! "

In their cognition, those who are capable should work harder.

It seems that in many cases, it has become a customary thing for those who are capable to work harder. Those who are capable should bear more responsibilities.

The reality is indeed the case, the stronger a person's ability, the heavier the burden on him and the more responsibilities he needs to bear.

However, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Jiangling Mansion.

Once a severe drought occurs, no one can run away.

Just thinking about it, Guo Yi felt so oppressed that he couldn't breathe, and his heart was even more uncertain.

That's hundreds of thousands of fresh lives...

In case it fails...

He didn't think he had the ability to save the world.

I am not a saint!
Guo Yi sighed, and responded: "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I understand what you said. However, the entire Jiangling Mansion has hundreds of thousands of people. If I make a mistake, or if there is a severe drought When it really comes, there will be no water coming out of the well, and even digging the well will not save them. After this, how can I deal with myself?"

Hearing this, Yang Liwen and his brothers couldn't help being silent.

That's right, the entire Jiangling Mansion has hundreds of thousands of people.This is obviously not something that he alone can manage to save.

Yang Lijie said anxiously: "Then we can't just watch them wait to die, right? Saving one alive counts as one! Let alone my Yue family, they can't ignore it!"

"Yeah!" Yang Liwen also nodded accordingly: "Second brother is right, even if you don't care about others, my old Taishan and the others are a big family!"

This time, Guo Yi couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head and agree: "I only care about the place, and you guys help dig the well! You also saw how the pillars drilled the well, it's very simple."

"Success!" Yang Liwen and his two brothers immediately beamed with joy, and quickly nodded in response: "My father-in-law's family is in the 'Anshang Village' in the north, not far away, only a dozen miles away. You can't even use it by driving a mule cart." An hour."

"Well, it's not too late, I'll be there tomorrow."

As soon as he nodded in agreement, he immediately poked the beehive.

The other men who dug the canal also heard it, and they rushed to shout: "Brother Yi, and me! My Yue's house is also drought!"

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, and us..."

"That's right! My Yue's family is going to dig a well too!"

Seeing this scene, Guo Yi's head suddenly became dizzy.What are you kidding?
Even if you chop me up, it's not enough!

Seeing that he didn't agree immediately, someone immediately yelled: "Brother Yi, you can't be partial, only go to the Yue family of the second and third brothers!"

"That's right! The Yue family of the second brother and the third brother is the Yue family, so our Yue family doesn't count?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Guo Yi hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Go, go! Go! Everyone has a share! But, let's talk about it, they have to go to the city to make the shovel for well drilling!"

"Success! Let's dig the canal and let them know."

Seeing him nodding his head in agreement, everyone immediately brows happily, and you start to say the name of the village one by one.

Good guy!
All the villages in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships, the ones in the south of the mountain and the ones in the north of the river are all on the list.

Guo Yi twitched his mouth when he heard that, don't do anything like this, I won't be able to get around the village...

But what made him smoke the most was yet to come.

After the men who dug the canal went back, word spread in the village.

After that, the men, women, young and old in the village almost broke the threshold of Mr. Yang's house.

Without exception, they are all for love.

Yue's family, mother's family...

Fortunately, there is one thing, that is, most of them are repetitive.After all, in this day and age, transportation is inconvenient and not too far away.

In the end, Mr. Yang simply clapped his hands and decided to send him a mule cart specially for people to look for mountains and waters, starting from the nearest 'shore village'.

And before going to sleep, the thirteenth-year-old Yang Licheng also came, with a wry smile on his face, he said, "Brother Yi, we have made an agreement that tomorrow we will go to the Xilin River to install waterwheels!"

Guo Yi slapped his forehead, it was over, his head became hot, and he forgot all about it.

Immediately, with the same wry smile on his face, he comforted him, "Uncle Thirteen, you are a well-known old carpenter in ten miles and eight towns. It's just installing the waterwheel, and you can do it yourself!"

Hearing this, Yang Licheng couldn't help being anxious: "It's different! This is the first time I've used the gantry frame you modified."

Guo Yi spread his hands, and some rogue said: "Then what do you think? You saw it just now, and almost broke the threshold!"

Uh...Yang Licheng was also speechless immediately, and discussed: "Then, why don't we go to bed later and go to my house to try it first? It's just right, put the water tanker on the mule cart."

"Success!" As an elder, they have already talked about this point, so it is difficult for him to refuse.

You have to jump into the hole you dug yourself with your eyes closed.

Gein's waterwheel is much more convenient, but it is also too heavy.

Even a small waterwheel is seven or eight meters high and weighs over a thousand catties.It takes a dozen strong laborers to put it up to the river and stand it up.

Therefore, Guo Yi took out the gantry and winch without hesitation.

And this is one of the few things that he can handle by himself without system knowledge at all.

It is also his most basic, one of the few dignity as a modern person...

After all, it is the physics knowledge of the first and second grades of junior high school.Fortunately, it was not in the textbook of the third grade of junior high school...

Moreover, the principle is also very simple. A tall gantry is installed with movable and fixed pulleys, and then equipped with a wooden winch.

Several people lit a few thick torches in the yard, and the translucent firelight illuminated the tall gantry.

It was made of five logs as thick as an adult's thigh, divided into four forked legs on the left and right, and a horizontal bar in the middle.There is also a bracket below, which can be driven by a mule cart.

Guo Yi directed Yang Licheng and several of his apprentices to wind the thick hemp rope on the winch, put it on the movable pulley block, and then pass through the fixed pulley block on the gantry frame.

Finally, tie the twine to the waterwheel below.

Once assembled, the winches were turned by two apprentices.With a creaking sound, the winch turned slowly, hoisting the waterwheel below.

"Tiger head, drive the mule cart over here." Guo Yi commanded from the side.

"okay!"

Hutou responded, and drove the mule cart under the hoisted water cart.

"Set the winch!"

The two apprentices moved the brake gear in response, and with another creaking sound, the water wheel slowly fell, and landed on the mule cart smoothly.
