Chapter 781 Drought Resisting Progress II
After entering the town yamen, Qiu Laifu didn't exchange much greetings, and went directly to the topic.He took out the map of digging the canal.Ask the mayor to quickly find someone to dig a ditch on the land where they are.

The mayor still doesn't understand, why do some ditches need to be dug on good land?want to say no.

Xia Houyu took out the token again, waved it in front of the mayor, and said, "What my master said, even your county magistrate has to weigh it up, and you can do what you are asked to do. What are you doing so much?"

The mayor also has a temper. Seeing that Xia Houyu was threatening him, he immediately wanted to kill him. "The weather is so dry now. Almost all the farmers are trying to figure out how to carry water to irrigate the fields. How can they dig these ditches?"

Qiu Laifu saw that Xia Houyu was going to mess things up, so he quickly interjected, "We let those farmers dig the canal, and we didn't let them dig it for nothing. When the canal is dug well, the water will flow to them along the canal." the fields.

The mayor laughed.He glanced at Qiu Laifu with contempt.Considering that there is a county magistrate supporting this yellow-haired kid in front of him, he spoke politely. "Do you know where this water comes from? Do you want to dig a gap in the big river? Don't dream, this river can't dig a gap. You may not know that there used to be such a gap in the lower reaches of this river." It happened. That year, the sky was also dry. A farmer dug a gap in the embankment beside the river, and the water was released. The drought was also relieved.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before it rained heavily, and it lasted for several days, and the water on the river also rose, and then the river gushed out from the gap.In the end, a long section of the embankment broke down.The final result was that many villages downstream were flooded.

From then onwards.No one dared to dig the embankment to release the water anymore.The imperial court also clearly stipulated that it is not allowed to dig the embankment to release water casually.Moreover, a large amount of silver is sent every year to repair the embankment of the big river. "

After hearing this, Qiu Laifu's expression remained calm. She had already thought of this kind of plot.It is estimated that those farmers had no experience in digging dams, and the dams were not handled properly, which caused the dams to collapse.

If she were to dig the embankment, she would definitely not let the embankment collapse, but instead build embankments and sluices.But this is a very complicated project.But now that water is urgently needed, waiting for the project is not enough, so she thought of another way to get water.

"Lord Mayor, don't worry, we really want to put water in those canals and let them flow into the fields. I really want to get this water from this river, but don't worry, we won't dig dams. You just help me find more carpenters, blacksmiths and stonemasons. I hope you can find these people within today. Pay them three times the usual wages. It is very dry now. The earlier the field gets water, the more Save some seedlings. I hope the mayor can fully cooperate."

Although the mayor didn't understand why Qiu Shunde, the county magistrate, sent a yellow-haired boy to do this job, but since it was sent by the higher authorities, he didn't dare to neglect it.

Before lunch, the mayor gathered all the carpenters, blacksmiths, and stonemasons in the town to the town yamen.Qiu Laifu took out the drawings she had designed and told the carpenters and blacksmiths to rush to work.In order to catch up with the construction period, some temporary workers were recruited in the town to help these craftsmen.

The waterwheel designed by Qiu Laifu this time required three kinds of craftsmen to complete it.The large wheel of the waterwheel required a carpenter.The shaft of the waterwheel needs a blacksmith.

The base of the waterwheel needs to be placed by the river.According to the results obtained by Qiu Laifu exploring the water in the river.The shallow water by the river is more than one meter deep.So some rocks are needed underneath.

At this time, the mason was soaking in the water.Lay the cornerstone for the big waterwheel that will be completed soon.

The waterwheel designed by Qiu Laifu this time no longer needs wind power.Because the river flows fast enough.So she directly used the baffle on the wheel axle driven by water.Make the wheels of the waterwheel turn.The outer edge of the wheel of the big water wheel will be tied with many large bamboo tubes.Then the bamboo tube was filled with water as it passed through the river, and when it turned up, the water in the bamboo tube was poured into the ditch that had been prepared earlier.Thereby complete the process of fetching water.As long as this waterwheel is built.A waterwheel can be used for at least ten years.It can also guarantee that this piece of land will be able to harvest smoothly for more than ten years.

Of course, if you don't want to fetch water, you can use a big stick to insert the force of the wheel to stop it from turning, or you can remove the built water tank.Make the water flow back into the river.These are very simple operations.

When the new Mayor Liu saw all of Qiu Laifu's designs, he couldn't help admiring the designer of the design, and praised the designer's brains for being too flexible and easy to use.

Qiu Laifu looked on indifferently, still thinking of various good words to praise Mayor Liu, the designer. "Mayor Liu, do you understand all these design drawings?"

Mayor Liu was so happy that the corners of his mouth cracked to the base of his ears, and he nodded hastily, "I see, I see. I will definitely ask all the people in the village to fully cooperate with this matter. I can guarantee that this water truck will not be released until the day after tomorrow at most. You can get it up and running.”

"Mayor Liu, I want to remind you that the waterwheel is installed, don't install it backwards, and the base of the waterwheel, you must make it firm. I think you can understand, The base of this waterwheel is very important, once the stones on the base are loose, the waterwheel may be washed away by the water. Then everything we have done will be in vain.”

Mayor Liu nodded.He replied very sincerely, "I will definitely supervise the installation process myself."


Qiu Laifu saw that the mayor was concerned about this matter, so he left without saying anything.She has to go to other places to inspect it.I don't have time to chat with him here.

Xiao Hong, who was walking behind, raised her chin high and said to Mayor Liu, "Do you want to know who the designer is? Let me tell you."

Mayor Liu immediately leaned in front of Xiao Hong in a fawning manner and said, "Then ask the young master for advice."

Xiaohong has been by Qiu Laifu's side for so long, but basically no outsiders call him young master, they only think that he is just the master's servant boy.At this moment, he was dizzy from being called "little son". He said proudly, "This designer is far away in the sky and right in front of him. Of course he is my master. You are so stupid, you don't even know this." After speaking, he raised his little chin, slid straight away and chased after Qiu Laifu.

Mayor Liu was left in a daze. He really didn't see that the yellow-haired boy whom he had never liked much was actually a capable person.But after thinking about it, I understood it again, and accepted this fact even more.He couldn't help muttering to himself, "Can people who come down from the county be good? Naturally, they are all very capable."
