Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 107
"You also came up with this thing?" Yan Jingcheng looked at Luo Jinxiu with bright eyes as if looking at some treasure.

Yun Jinghao pulled his daughter-in-law to his side, and stared at the unaware Yan Jingcheng in warning.

Luo Jinxiu smiled inwardly, smiled at him comfortingly, and then explained: "Actually, I can't say that I came up with it, it's just that I have seen the real thing before, and I know its effect. You see, it is directly given to you. The little uncle in the Ministry of Industry, should I hand it over to Zhang Zhi County? I am more inclined to hand it over or not. In order to alleviate the drought pressure as soon as possible, let the local county magistrate rush out the things as soon as possible and press them separately until the drought is more obvious. In the village to solve the urgent need."

If it is handed over directly, it may not be able to be used in time for this year's drought, and it will have to wait for the next disaster to be used, just like last year's kang, which will be widely extended to thousands of households after this year's winter.

But the government can wait, but the common people who live on the crops cannot afford to wait.

Yan Jingcheng also understood this truth. Looking at the blueprint in his hand, he quickly made a decision in his heart.

"I will send a copy of this blueprint to my uncle as soon as possible, and the magistrate will also send a copy, so that the Yamen can produce finished products as soon as possible. Let's solve the difficulties of the local people before the drought gets worse."

This was what Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu meant when they discussed in private. It would be great if Yan Jingcheng had the same idea as them.

Just do what you say, Yan Jingcheng sent someone to deliver the letter to the capital again, and Yun Jinghao went to the county government to hand over the blueprint to the county magistrate.

They and Zhang Zhixian are old acquaintances, and it is not the first time that they have handed over things for Limin. The magistrate attaches great importance to it. After carefully listening to Yun Jinghao's detailed explanation of the use of the things on the drawings, he couldn't help applauding, and immediately let the Yamen Post a notice to recruit skilled carpenters from all over the county to start making the finished product.

On the other hand, Luo Jinxiu also made a special trip to Yuanshan Village to visit her younger siblings. The drought in Yuanshan Village was similar to that of Shangxi Village, and there was no place that could subsidize the family like the grease workshop. It was relatively more severe. Wollen.

When she arrived at Zhao's house, Zhao Wancai and Zhao Chen's faces were also very ugly, and even just in time for the couple to quarrel, she overheard it, and it seemed that Zhao Wancai's younger brother's family was not doing well, so he ran to their house to borrow money As a result, Zhao Wancai wanted to give her younger brother the money she gave to her brothers and sisters for reading, but Zhao Chen was unwilling. She found out the old calendar and complained that Zhao Wancai's younger brother was fond of gambling. He had borrowed a lot of money from the family and never paid it back. This time, I'm afraid it just happened to be a complaint for a reasonable excuse to ask for money and continue to gamble on Balabala.

She is not in the mood to take care of the Zhao family's affairs, no matter how they want to spend the money she gave is their business, as long as they don't deduct Jinshu Jinyu's ration because of it.

After all, the reason why she was willing to give such a small amount of money was to prevent them from making the two little ones hungry under the excuse that they couldn't open the pot at home.

For the time being, the husband and wife have not thought of this, and Luo Jinxiu's arrival has calmed down their irritated mood a lot. Anyway, they still have two young ones. As long as these two young ones are there, Jinxiu will It is impossible to pretend that they can't uncover the pot.

Zhao Wancai even took this as a reason to be more determined to give the money to his younger brother for emergency. Zhao Chen was about to continue scolding, Luo Jinxiu, who was about to leave after talking with his younger siblings, said slowly, "I am only responsible for giving enough money to you two." For the food and drink money, if you give the money away, be prepared to starve yourself, as for the Jinshu Jinyu's share, you can try it."

Zhao Wancai was very annoyed at Luo Jinxiu's attitude of ignoring them less and less, but he was really reluctant to part with the money that this married woman gave to the family, so he could only hold his anger in his heart and vent it out after the person left. Zhao Chen's body.

Luo Jinxiu knew this kind of thing well, but Jinyu told her a lot about the daily situation of the two couples.

If she hadn't been shocked, Zhao Wancai might have vented his anger with the two little ones, but from time to time she would let Zhao Wu and the others take turns to deliver something. Someone was watching, so Zhao Wancai didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

On the way back from Yuanshan Village, I happened to meet Yun Jinghao who came back from the yamen, and they simply came back together, talked to each other about the situation on the other side, and learned that Zhangzhi County would give priority to installing water trucks for them in Shangxi Village, Luo Jinxiu slightly I raised my eyebrows, but I didn't think there was any problem.

At any rate, she is also considered a provider. It is nothing to let Shangxi Village enjoy a little bit of privilege. After that, she will definitely give priority to villages with more severe droughts.

By the way, what is shown on that blueprint is a water wheel, a water conservancy object that dares to divert water to irrigate the land.

Strictly speaking, this year's drought is not too serious. The reason why the villagers panic is because of the disasters in the past two years.

The waterline of the stream in the village is much shallower, but there is still a long way to go before it dries up. The main reason is that manpower is not enough to irrigate the fields day and night. The temperature is too high, and a little bit of water vapor will evaporate quickly. After the waterwheel is installed, the irrigation in the field can be basically guaranteed, at least half of the problem can be solved, and many seedlings can be rescued. As long as we survive the most difficult time and two rains, the problem will be solved.

It is related to the harvest of the whole county and even several surrounding counties. Zhangzhi County attaches great importance to the production of waterwheels, and soon recruits all the skilled carpenters in the county. It only took three days to complete all the parts of the waterwheels. It has been done, but no one can guarantee whether it will be able to pretend to be a finished product.

No one has ever seen a waterwheel, nor installed it. Luo Jinxiu's drawing is to draw the scale and size of the parts for making the waterwheel, as well as the required number, and finally write the number marks, installation steps, etc.

To put it bluntly, it is similar to the installation drawing attached to some furniture that needs to be installed when shopping online in modern times.

It takes one to two hours for a person who has never installed a small piece of furniture to install it smoothly. Something as big as a waterwheel is so unfamiliar to the people here, and the installation is even more time-consuming.

After Zhang Zhixian hesitated, he decided to send all the parts to Shangxi Village first, and install them on the spot in the village. If there is a problem, he can directly consult Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu, and it is easier to carry the things over there.

So, this morning, Luo Jinxiu was still sleeping happily in Yun Jinghao's arms, when she heard a faint commotion from outside the courtyard.

"What's going on outside?" Luo Jinxiu yawned, rubbed against Yun Jinghao's chest, and asked without opening her eyes.

Yun Jinghao kissed the corner of her eyebrows, "It was the people from the yamen who delivered the parts of the waterwheel, and the county magistrate should have come as well."

Even though several walls were separated, his hearing was still amazing. He could easily hear what the villagers were commotion outside. He even heard the voices of Zhang Zhixian and Li Zheng talking.

Only then did Luo Jinxiu open her eyes, "Eh? The parts are ready so quickly? It's really rare!" She thought that the imperial court's work would take a while more or less, just like modern times.

It seems that Zhang Zhixian is indeed a good official who thinks about the people, and he is clean and neat when doing business!

"Since the magistrate and the others are here, we don't want to stay in bed, why don't we go out and have a look, anyway, I provided the water truck."

After they put on their clothes and washed briefly, they came out of the compound. They happened to see many villagers coming after hearing the news, so they walked to the stream together. There, many villagers had already gathered, surrounded by them A large open space is filled with many wooden parts that they don't understand the use of.

"Jing Hao, Jin Xiu, you are here." Zhang Zhixian noticed them and waved to them from a distance, with an expectant smile on his face.

The two walked over the crowd to the magistrate Zhang. Luo Jinxiu hadn't seen the magistrate for a long time, so they exchanged greetings.

The villagers saw that the dignified county magistrate had such a harmonious relationship with Yun Jinghao and his wife. Those villagers who had just had a quarrel looked at me and I looked at you, and they regretted it more and more.

That's right, didn't Jing Hao and his wife know the magistrate?Not only that, he himself was a military general, and it is said that his official position is higher than that of the county magistrate!Maybe the reason why the magistrate made friends with them so early is because he knew these inside stories!

The Yun family who were mixed in the crowd felt very uncomfortable.

Speaking of the fact that the villagers made a fuss about asking Yun Jinghao and the others for compensation this time, it was not without the inadvertent instigation and guidance of the female family members of the Yun family behind the scenes. They were happy to see the people in the compound have bad luck!

It's a pity that Yun Jinghao's means were terrible, and the storm was calmed down in a short time, which made them feel very sorry.

At this moment, I intend to take the opportunity to talk to the magistrate, and mention Yun Chengyao by the way, but why don't other people in the village want to get in touch with the official who has never had a chance to meet in the past?The old lady and Mrs. Wang squeezed together for a while, but they didn't squeeze in!

As for Zhangzhi County, they didn't talk to Yun Jinghao for a long time. The two sides nodded, and asked the officials and carpenters who came with them to start installing the waterwheel according to the blueprint that had been studied for most of the day yesterday.

Li Zheng had already learned the usefulness of this thing and the provider from the county magistrate, and his gratitude to Yun Jinghao and his wife could not be described in words, and he was both happy and ashamed.

The husband and wife have always contributed a lot to the village, but he can't restrain the villagers. They are also part of the village, and he is also obliged to make their lives go well. It's a bit negligent of duty in this village!

The process of installing the waterwheel was fairly smooth. Although it was the first time, it was inevitable that a few mistakes were made along the way, and two parts were accidentally damaged, but Luo Jinxiu corrected them in time to prevent them from doing useless work and had to dismantle them again. The parts are just in case there are spare parts. After nearly a day, the huge waterwheel finally stood up in the stream.

When the waterwheel automatically starts to rotate with water power as the power, and the water is automatically sent into the field through the bamboo tube on the waterwheel, the villagers from the beginning to the end are boiling instantly!
