Primitives are stunned

Chapter 256 Unsold Water
In his previous life, Wang Hao complained more than once about the high water bill.

But when he came to Dahuang, he realized how happy it is to have a faucet with water flowing from it at any time.

Because Wang Hao wants to build the village into a giant city that can defend against monsters attacking the city.

So when choosing a location, you need to take all aspects into consideration.

It is precisely because of the consideration of the rising rainwater during the summer flood season that the distance between Xincun and Dahe was expanded to one mile by Wang Hao.

It is precisely because of this that the village's water use has become a problem.

The fish ponds on the left and right sides of the village have green water quality, and no one chooses to use that water except for cleaning tools or even feeding livestock.

However, the two reservoirs in the village cannot afford the expenses of the entire village.

What's more, it has not rained for many days, and the water in the reservoir is still brought back from the river by the tribe every day.

One mile is an embarrassing distance.Because if it is closer, fetching water every day will not be so troublesome.Anyway, the people of the Great Wilderness have strong physical fitness, and they can carry six buckets of water in one round trip, and put a shoulder pole on each of the left and right shoulders, so they can carry four buckets of water.

Then you can carry another bucket in one hand.

In addition to the two buckets of water that adult men hand over to the village every day, the remaining four buckets of water are enough for their family.

And if it was a little further away from the big river, Wang Hao could dig a well.

It's only one mile away, and those who can't get up and down get stuck there. It's very troublesome to carry water, and it's not cost-effective to dig a well.

But it's all right now.After the sweet potatoes were planted, the carpenter led people to set up the bamboo water pipes.

The diameter of this waterwheel is eight meters, which can be regarded as an oversized waterwheel.

The volume is large, and the water capacity is naturally large.Under the waterwheel, there are three bamboo pipes for receiving water.

The first one, of course, was taken to Wang Erniu's farm.

Wang Erniu's farm is basically the place that consumes the most water in the entire village.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it is okay for chickens, ducks and cattle to go without food for a day, but if they are not fed water for a day, they will become sluggish.

Wang Erniu hired five people just to carry the water.Gu Mu once calculated for her that by the end of this summer, the extra cost of carrying water alone would be worth three cows.

And after the carpenter installed the bamboo pipes in her farm, the consumption of two cows for a whole year was nothing more than that.

As for the second water pipe, it is shared by the village.

Things like building schools, copper smelting furnaces, etc. all use the water from this water pipe.

And the last bamboo tube is the domestic water used by everyone for washing.

In fact, at the very beginning, no one was willing to use the carpenter's water except Wang Hao and a few others.

Especially those who come from other villages to work, they would rather go to work hard every morning to fetch water than use the water that carpenters need to spend money on.

In the Great Wilderness, water is worthless, because the whole Great Wilderness is full of streams, big rivers, pools and lakes.Because of the climate, there have only been floods in Dahuang, but there has never been a drought.

In people's minds, water is shared by all things, just like the air we breathe every day. Now people are charging for water, which is really unacceptable to them.

Although residential water only takes up one pipeline.But if it is calculated, the profit of residents' water use will be several times that of the first two pipelines combined.

No one wants to use water, which means that the carpenter cannot recover the cost.If the carpenter can't recover the cost, it means that Qian Duo's investment has no return.

Although Qian Duo himself didn't care about it, Wang Hao couldn't help it.Yesterday, when the bamboo pipes were almost finished, Wang Hao once praised Haikou in front of Qian Duo.

He said that he would let her see that the decision he had made for her was definitely not wrong. By tomorrow, the investment in the early stage would be turned into money, which would be continuously recovered.

At that moment, Wang Hao, who was bragging, was so high-spirited, and Qian Duo, looking at the determined Wang Hao, had little stars in his eyes, and his face was full of admiration.

But after only one day, reality gave Wang Hao a resounding slap.

Because of different consumption concepts, everyone thinks that water is inherently free and worthless. If you suddenly charge for it, no one wants to use your water.

Everyone doesn't buy it, even if Wang Hao is the patriarch, there is nothing he can do, he can't force everyone to buy water.

Faced with this situation, Wang Hao felt that his dignity as the head of the family had been swept away.Then, Wang Hao had a long talk with the carpenter who came to complain with a frowning face.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and everyone got up one after another.

Qian Duo opened his eyes first than Wang Hao with his usual diligence.

Feeling the heat from Wang Hao's body, Qian Duo suddenly had the urge to get out of bed.

Pouted, thinking that he still had to cook in the canteen every day, he rubbed helplessly on Wang Hao's chest, and got up anyway.

"What if it's only this big, what should I do if it doesn't grow any longer!" Thinking of this possibility, Qian Duo's face turned pale with fright.

While she was thinking wildly, Wang Hao turned over on the bed, put his arms around Qian Duo's waist in a daze, and then said, "Why do you wake up so early every morning? We don't lack food and clothing. We are still working hard." Isn't it just asking for trouble for going to the dining shed to make breakfast?"

Hearing Wang Hao dissuading him with concern again, Qian Duo laughed happily, but when he thought of what he was thinking about just now, he couldn't help blushing, put on the straw sandals and hurried out.

Wang Hao woke up and couldn't fall asleep, lying on the bed thinking about things.I don't know if the carpenter followed up on the idea given to the carpenter yesterday.

It has been several months since I came to the Great Wilderness, and Wang Hao is almost used to this kind of life of sunrise and sunset.

To be honest, the life here is not as comfortable as on the earth, and I work hard every day for the village.

But for some reason, Wang Hao found that he gradually fell in love with Dahuang.Maybe it's because the mosquitoes in the Great Wilderness don't bite people.

Wang Hao smiled, and threw his nonsensical thought out of his mind.But to be honest, although the mosquitoes in the wilderness look scary, they are as big as a fist, but in fact, only a very small part of them will bite people.

Just as Wang Hao let his thoughts wander and was in a daze, Qian Duo came back again.

Every morning when she wakes up, before going to work in the dining shed, she will fetch water for Wang Hao to wash.

Looking at the slightly bright sky, Wang Hao yawned and sat up from the bed.

It will take a few days for the idea given to the carpenter to see results, so there is no need to worry for now.

But today is also a very important day.There are two things in the village that Wang Hao must personally participate in.

One thing is that the wharf was finally built yesterday, and Wang Hao will download ships capable of carrying a large amount of load today to transport asphalt from upstream.

Another thing is that the spider silk brought back last time has been spun into thread after several days of processing, and today, Wang Hao will witness the birth of the first piece of silk on the Great Wilderness.
