Chapter 1307 Build water pipes for the village ([-])

Whenever someone came to say hello, Qi Ke would greet them with a smile on his face. When he walked to the mill, the peak period of the breakfast stall had passed, and the only few tables were full. The old men here are mainly led by old general Bai. They are all old generals, and the villagers are not so free.

Qi Ke chatted with them for a long time while eating, and talked about the bamboo pipes in the village to lead spring water into the house. The old generals were very interested. The chief also called.

Zhuangzi first entered the hall of the main room where he received guests. All the tables and chairs were removed. The floor of the entire hall was empty. More than 20 paper drawings were spread all over the floor. Everyone walked on tiptoe between the drawings for fear of stepping on it and leaving an ugly appearance. shoe prints.

There are many springs in the mountains, and some of them have relatively large water flows. The ones that are close to the village are the water sources that the villagers carry and eat every day. Qi Ke’s drawings include these common water sources, so there is no need to deploy bamboo pipes to deliver water from far away. The nearest is naturally the best.

It takes a little manpower, money and material resources to start the construction, mainly because after the bamboo water pipes are installed in the household, each household should choose the location to build the pool according to their own water habits. A little masonry mortar is used to build the pool, and pottery sewage is also arranged. To connect the pipe to the composting pond, ditches have to be dug everywhere in the village. This part of the work is done by the foreman of the carpentry workshop he knows well, and all the necessary expenses are paid by the village public account.

The public funds in the village account were originally used for the short-term rolling dividends of the cotton business last winter and left the market. Now that the factory is operating well, the money can be used as a long-term investment to earn stable dividends. When the village needs to spend money, it has money to use. No discounts either.

The villagers don't need to pay for it, they only need to provide some manpower. The two village chiefs, Lao Jiuye and Lu Chen, immediately agreed. Even though they didn't fully understand the layout and direction of the bamboo tubes on the blueprint, they only thought that Qi Ke's suggestion was very good. , Good advice and support is right.

After the discussion, the division of labor and cooperation, the two village chiefs let the villagers think about where to build their own pools. The villagers have both front and back yards, so they can build two. If you think two are not enough, you can build more. , just pay for the materials yourself.

The old generals followed Qi Ke into the mountain to see the spring she had chosen, and their servants and personal soldiers could also serve as laborers to help clean up the surroundings of the spring and build a small pond for water storage.

The villagers chattered and chatted for a day, and many people who moved quickly had already cleared out a place to build a pool at the kitchen door. The pool in the backyard is different for each house, because some raise poultry and livestock, and some breeds. After cooking, generally speaking, they are looking for the corner of the wall, which is convenient for digging trenches.

The next day, under the leadership of Qi Ke, the men in the village went into the mountains to cut bamboo. They cut a lot of bamboos of large, medium and small sizes. deal with.

Jiaji Shipyard’s new pier, Jiajia Wharf, also departed a large ship full of materials and workers from the woodworking workshop. As soon as they arrived at Siliu Village and put away their luggage, they began to work. Each household walked around, checked the location of the pool they had prepared, gave some suitable suggestions, and used charcoal sticks to mark the trench on the ground.

It took a few days, and after the preliminary preparations were in place one by one, the construction officially started.

The farm work in the farmland is a task system. Men, women and children take tasks to earn money according to the size of their labor. Therefore, the young and strong who do not receive tasks also join in the reconstruction of the village. They are all based on the water conditions of their own household. Qi Ke did not give a fixed size. At most, he suggested that the person responsible for washing and washing at home with a large amount of water has the right to speak. If the total height is not enough, washing things with the waist hooked is tiring and useless waist.
