I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System
Chapter 90 Waterwheel
Time flew by. After the work point system determined by Linn became popular and was adapted by the serfs, they exploded with great potential and unprecedented efforts.
In the past, the reason why they were lazy was because they knew that no matter how much work they did, they could only gain so little, so they might as well let themselves relax. But it is different now. What the work-point system advertises is that hard work will lead to rewards.
They rely on their hard work to earn work points. If they become a group leader, they will have the opportunity to eat meat porridge. Not only that, the group leader will also play a leading and supervisory role.
There is also a competitive relationship between multiple groups. If you see others getting higher work points than them today, you will make up your mind to surpass them tomorrow.
Especially after reaching 50 work points, you can be qualified to live in a new house. After other serfs moved to the new house one after another, other serfs naturally did not want to continue to live in the dilapidated houses, which once again promoted their of positivity.
If you work hard, you will be rewarded. This sentence is strictly implemented in the entire system.
Serfs are also human beings, and they also have the most basic desires and requirements, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. They are like four mountains. They look at them and climb them. When they are satisfied with a little bit, there are countless more points waiting for them.
Thanks to the superiority of the system, the serfs cut down a large number of trees, built the serf residential area, and left other houses vacant, waiting for other serfs to live in when they arrived.
Commercial areas and residential areas are also under construction. Handicraftsmen such as Farr and Nezer have moved here. There are also some civilians who are unwilling to leave their houses and remain where they are, which is the old city.
The lord did not force them. These people were still complacent and thought that those who moved away suffered too much.
But it didn't take long for them to regret it, because the construction speed of the new city far exceeded their imagination. The houses were neatly arranged, the streets were smooth and clean, there were many toilets, and even a water canal was built, and multiple wells were built.
People living here can draw water from the well for boiling, washing, etc., which is very convenient.
Except for some particularly stubborn people, the rest of the townspeople also moved to new places one after another.
The size of the farmland area expanded again. After the serfs dug out the tree roots, they plowed the entire field, dug out the underground root systems, burned them, and at the same time laid stones around the fields to form ditches.
The newly cultivated fields still need to be dried, fertilized and other measures before sowing can be carried out.
Because these lands are different from the previous farmland areas, they are fields created by cutting down the trees growing on them. According to the Lord, the land has insufficient nutrients and must be fertilized.
As early as when toilets were built, the lords set up excrement scoopers. These excrement scoopers deposited the excrement in prescribed locations and fermented it at the request of the lord.
The shovelers don't understand why they do this, they just need to obey the adults' arrangements.
The fermented manure is put into newly cultivated fields, waiting to rot.
In the arrowhead mushroom production area, fences have been erected in the fennel and mint picking areas. No one else is allowed to enter here, only pickers.
A canal extends from the river, with multiple forks in the farmland area. There is a shielding plate at each fork. When waiting for water to be irrigated, just remove the shielding plate and the water will flow in, which greatly reduces The labor force of serfs freed them from watering and turned to other jobs.
The aqueduct reaches the new city of Ember Town, where it branches again into multiple branches. One of them is used for washing clothes, one is used for continuous sedimentation in the well, and the other leads directly to the castle.
Women are washing wool next to the water channel, which they need to use for spinning.
Since Nezer led several serf tailors to make cloth bags, the number of cloth bags produced every day continued to increase, and the lord gave him another task to weave.
Previously, his spinning speed was too slow, but now with the help of serfs, his speed has been greatly improved.
It’s just that the amount of wool is too small, and it’s quite troublesome to clean.
They need to spend a lot of time cleaning wool every day. This is assuming that the canal reaches the door of their house. If it were left in the past, it would take them a long time just to go to the river.
Go straight up the canal and you will reach a gentle river.
Continue walking from the source of the river, which is the mining area.
As a result, part of the water from the river entered the town through the canal, but the water flow was not large.
The water flow in the lower reaches of the river is rapid and the water source is abundant, but due to the terrain, there is no way to lead it up.
At this time, there were many people on both sides of the river.
Farr and Negi installed the made waterwheel shaft, and then directed the serfs to insert the spokes into it one by one, and then all the parts were installed properly.
Farr and Negi looked at each other, and they pushed.
The huge waterwheel rotated slowly, and the water hit the wiper. The two let go of their hands, but the waterwheel continued to rotate.
The water flow was driven up, flowed out from the mouth of the barrel, fell into the sink, and entered the water channel.
The water splashed and the sound continued, but it was so beautiful to the ears of Farr and Negi.
They finally succeeded in making a waterwheel, which had two functions: it could be driven by human power and could use water power to achieve uninterrupted operation.
The two cheered.
The serf standing aside had a puzzled look on his face, not understanding why the two of them were so happy.
After Lin En heard about Farr's experiment in installing a water wheel, and after finishing the matter, he came towards the river. When he saw a large amount of river water rushing through the canal, he knew that the water wheel was successfully installed.
grown ups!
Lord Lord!
When they saw Lin En coming, they immediately saluted.
Lin En waved his hand and his eyes fell on the waterwheel. This product of the wisdom of ancient working people had a huge connection with various industries before the advent of electricity. Its role is immeasurable.
Serfs no longer need to water every day, especially when the land is vast, saving them a lot of time and allowing them to do other things.
The power generated by hydraulic power can also be used in other industries, such as mining.
Due to the lack of tools and manpower, the current mining speed is too slow. If water trucks are used in mining, the efficiency will be greatly improved.
Not bad, not bad! Lin En said two good words in succession, which was enough to prove his mood.
