Chapter 1308 Building Water Pipes for the Village ([-])

All processes were carried out simultaneously, and the village was dusty for several days. Fortunately, the sun has been shining recently and there is no worry about rain. It is dirty if it is dirty, and it is easy to work on sunny days.

The soldiers who went to the mountain to work cleaned up the surrounding springs and withdrew, and returned to the village to help. The workers of the wood workshop went into the mountain to connect the bamboo water pipes, and connected the thickest ones to each spring, but at this step, they buried the bamboo water pipes. Thanks to Qi Ke's carefulness, she has hidden electric water pumps in each spring so that the water can be supplied stably and continuously regardless of the seasons.

The preparations in the mountains were ready, and the whole village concentrated their efforts to complete the most time-consuming civil works. After half a month, the backfilled ground was restored to level, and the final step of erecting bamboo pipes began.

The bamboo pipes go through the air and descend step by step along the mountain. The water flows to the lower places, and just like this flows into every house, the water pressure is quite strong.

The water delivery is carried out uniformly after all the bamboo pipes are installed in place, and a bamboo faucet is installed at the end of each bamboo pipe, which is turned off when the water is not in use, saving water resources and avoiding waste.

In the middle of the village, Qi Ke asked General Bai to set off a skyrocketing fireworks as a signal. The maids guarding each spring saw the fireworks and started the water pumps and put the bamboo pipe inlets into the water. Soon everyone in the village heard it. The sound of rumbling water came rushing from the sky, and the villagers waiting at home immediately turned the faucet excitedly, and after a while, they cried out "water is coming" one after another.

The old general and the others could not help but rush back to the small courtyard of the inn where they lived. Naturally, these independent small courtyards also attracted bamboo pipes. Big", "It is enough for daily use", "It is no longer necessary to ask for water several times a day".

In short, when the clean and clear mountain spring water enters the house, everyone is smiling.

Public facilities in the village, such as clinics and schools, are also paved with bamboo pipes, and the farthest bamboo water pipes are paved to the military post and mill, as long as the places for water are in place.

Villagers from neighboring villages who come to the village every day to buy soy products know that Siliu Village is undergoing major construction projects again. They have long been looking forward to opening their eyes after the completion of the construction. When they saw the maids cleaning up the breakfast stalls in the backyard of the mill, they were washing dishes and chopsticks by the newly built large pool. Spoons and other things, the eyes are all round, let alone the envy.

Qi Ke has also laid out several open-air public washbasins in the village, all for the convenience of washing hands anytime and anywhere. She also wants to invite the theater troupe to hold an order meeting after the autumn harvest this year, when a large number of guests will come to play, eat, drink and get sticky hands. There is a place to wash your hands and groom yourself.

I also want to build public toilets, but considering the current conditions, I can only build dry toilets. I dig a pit with two boards, the stench is so high, and the feces and maggots coexist. There is no rush.

After finishing the important matter of diverting water into households, Qi Ke is ready to go to Liangshui Town. The new official took office three fires, and she didn't even tie a torch. Now that the land is enclosed, she finally has time to take a look.

The village has been busy diverting water for more than half a month, and the news from Liangshui Town has not stopped. It was known how many days ago that the ocean fleet sent two live cattle. Interested, I hope that this batch of cattle can safely pass through the one-month quarantine observation period, without getting sick, and eat beef during the Chinese New Year.

The beef cattle are steers that have been gelded, and all the cattle that have been brought in have reached the standard for slaughter. If they really want to end the quarantine according to Qi Ke's regulations, they can indeed prepare to kill and eat meat, but she started from scratch in Liangshui Town. For farms, it will take several years to get beef freely, because cows grow slower than pigs and sheep, and they can be slaughtered in about a year and a half. The pregnancy period of cows is about ten months like that of humans. For more than two years.

But no matter how slow it is, this beef cattle farm still needs to be built. The number of breeding cattle and beef cattle must at least reach the level that allows soldiers to have beef freely. Only by eating well can they train well, and in case of a war, they can kill a few more enemy.
