After Wu Sinan finished his lunch, he did not know where he had gone to. Even if Jiaoniang wanted to, he could not find anyone, so he could only inform the butler to return to Qiao Family Restaurant to fetch some things before taking the ox-cart back.

Along the way, he saw countless farmers shuttling back and forth in the fields. Although it was already evening, the trees on both sides of the road were withered by the scorching sun, not to mention the crops in the fields.

It was a scorching day with scorching heat and an earthy aura. In his previous life, Jiaoniang did not have a deep experience with this poem, and came here to experience it instead. In order to support their families, the peasants had to work in the fields. The amount of food they earned every year might not even be enough for their children.

Seeing this, Jiaoniang became even more determined to build a water wheel on her South Mountain. What she wanted to do was simple. The altitude of the South Mountain wasn't considered high, and to the north was precisely Lan Cangjiang which was galloping past. Jiaoniang wanted to draw the water over the mountain.

At first, when Old Man Sun heard her thoughts, she was very angry. He felt that Jiaoniang was just teasing him. The South Mountain were many stones, and it was difficult to cut open a mountain even if Jiaoniang wanted to, let alone a mountain. How could construction be done so easily according to a woman's words?

However, what he did not know was that Huang Yi had long figured out the powder, but it was something that was too monstrous. Jiaoniang had only let Huang Yi experiment it while he was at the foot of the mountain gathering stone. It was just that the risk involved in the operation was quite large, so it was inconvenient for outsiders to handle it. Previously, when Huang Yi was talking about the matters of his ancestors, Jiaoniang had guessed that there might be some of the gunpowder from the era inside the pill furnace. She did not know much about this, and could only give Huang Yi a hint, which Huang Yi then poured out.

Originally, Jiaoniang would have been able to open up mountains without the use of gunpowder, but it would have taken him a few more months. Jiaoniang would never say that he possessed such a powerful killing weapon. So she allowed Huang Yi to dress up like a god's rod, and announced to the outside world that she was the older brother in the distant who had joined the Daoist Sect in terms of his final South Mountain.

Huang Yi was a wanderer anyway, and was good at doing the godly things that the family did. He only revealed a little bit of it, and the villagers believed him to be real. Let alone the Old Man Sun, Jiaoniang had told the Old Man Sun that the experts would do something. In the middle of the night, Huang Yi took advantage of when no one was around to blast a big hole in his South Mountain with the explosive, and with a small hole, it would be much easier to operate.

The second day, when Old Man Sun saw the big mouth, he firmly believed that Jiaoniang had received help from the god and did not say anything more after that.

The method of drainage from Lan Cangjiang was too difficult, but Jiaoniang had a plan. There was a waterfall in the west of South Mountain and the water flow of this waterfall was extremely large. Everyone nearby said that this waterfall came from a mountain far away and rushed into the Lan Cangjiang River, Jiaoniang only wanted to lure the water from the waterfall to the side of the waterfall, and then use the water wheel to push the water flow to the foot of the mountain.

The plain under South Mountain was where the Qingyuan County grew grain, and it was also where it was difficult to irrigate.

These days, Ye Xuan only recruited those workers, some to break the rocks, some to move the rocks, some to cook at the foot of the mountain. There were more than a hundred people gathered there. Some of these people had no fields in their homes, and were making money by doing odd jobs in the county. Others had fields in their homes that were difficult to irrigate, and they placed their hopes on the new irrigation system in the county.

This was just the first time that Jiaoniang was preparing for it, if he really wanted to do it, it would probably take 2 months, but the farmers were too anxious to wait. So she called the construction team to build a well under the South Mountain Plains in accordance to the village. The well was like the wells in her previous life, where when each well was equipped with a pulley, it was more convenient to carry water.

When the drought resistance system was online, the county magistrate had disguised himself to take a look. In the past, the county's drought resistance was directly brought in water from the river, and along the way, they crossed different terrain, and the depth of the gullies were also different. When there was no need for drought resistance, the farmers did not know anything about it, so when there was a drought resistance, at least eighty percent of the county's system was destroyed.

He had originally thought that the reinforcements Zhu Zixiu had found would hastily clean up the damaged areas, but he never thought that she would directly dig a well on the ground. Drilling a well was not cheap, not to mention that the farmers cherished it as if it were their life. No one wanted to dig a well in their own fields, and if there were any crops to be stepped on, no one would be able to reason with them.

had a headache at the start, this farmer was also being forced to be shortsighted. If there was enough food, who would be willing to care about this land? There was no other way, Jiaoniang could only tell Li Zheng one way, that was, if he tried to dig a well in someone's house, he would be able to pay taxes one level lower than the other families.

Initially, he had no intention of agreeing, but he could not resist Jiaoniang's persuasion, "If we are unable to open the wells and delay the growth of the crops, do you think that this year's harvest will be good? If you pay the rent and starve to death next year, it might be better if you fix the well. "

Li Zheng thought about it for a while, and then he conveyed the news to the village chief. That was the only way he could get the well out of the ground.

When Liu Jiqing heard this, he immediately revealed the reason and laughed out loud while stroking his beard, "What a wonderful person. You all only know how unreasonable and unreasonable people are, but don't know what's in their hearts. Only the right people will listen to you. But what kind of whimsical idea was this pulley on top of the well? I just saw a weak woman who was able to fill a bucket of water, so it must be because of this pulley. "

"My lord, you don't know, this is a new item that Sun Ghostly Hands created. I don't know what the principle is, but with it, we don't need much strength to fight our way up to the water and reduce the burden on the farmers." Just as he was explaining, he also brought out a bucket of water for Liu Jiqing to see. After seeing it, Liu Jiqing also tested it out and in an instant, he thought of countless possibilities.

This thing could not only lighten the burden of Qingyuan County and farmers carrying water, if the whole world could use this thing, lifting water and irrigation would not be difficult anymore! After understanding this matter, Liu Jiqing's breathing became a little hurried, "Quickly go call Sun Ghosts over!"

He did not know what was going on, so he hastily went to find the Old Man Sun. Liu Jiqing simply asked if he did this pulley.

Old Man Sun thought for a while, then agreed. This was what Jiaoniang had told him before. Even though Old Man Sun was a strange person, she would rather die than agree to it. In the end, Jiaoniang had told him that it was a remnant that her father had obtained in the mountains, and it was not her credit in the first place. Furthermore, she had already forgotten about it, so she could only say that it was for Old Man Sun to study.

"It's not just this commoner's effort. The Lin Family Village's Jiaoniang gave this commoner a reminder, which was how he could make this little thing."

Even so, Old Man Sun didn't want to enjoy the credit alone.
