Siheyuan: The Villain's Cool Life

The next morning, Shen He took You Menglin to the commune.

Some people who arrived earlier than Shen He were already surrounding the ten walk-behind tractors and looking at them.

They didn't believe it was a tractor because they had seen tractors before.

There's no point in saying so much.

Shen He asked someone to open a package.

There are exactly 6 three-plowshares placed here.

It was immediately removed.

Shen He unloaded the front of the truck and directly installed the plowshare.

No need to look elsewhere.

He circled around a few times on the hard ground in the middle of the commune.

Wow, it makes me dumbfounded.

Shen He turned the plowshare again, so that it was pointing a little to the side.

Invite everyone to follow.

The advantages of the hand tractor are immediately highlighted.

Ordinary tractors cannot climb up the slope of 50 degrees.

This thing made a few rumbling sounds and went straight up.

Find a relatively gentle slope.

I asked someone to take a look and pick up some of the stones and wood.

Without these miscellaneous things, Shen He adjusted the plowshare back to normal.

Just plow it up.

This is much more powerful than an old ox.

In the eyes of everyone, if 10 people were asked to work on this large area, it would take at least three days.

No matter how good you are, you have to work for two days.

But it only takes a short while for the tractor to do that.

I have translated them all.

Looking at the stunned looks of the group of people, Shen He smiled crookedly, ignored them, and drove the tractor directly down the mountain with a few staff members and his very happy wife.

We still have to drive the other tractors. There is no rush to cultivate the land.

We have to start digging the well starting tomorrow.

Chapter 348: Digging a Well

"Everyone, come out quickly. Good news...good news..."

Early in the morning, the people arranged by Shen He to deliver messages to each village arrived.

"It's Director Wang. What's the news?"

"Old Secretary, the things Leader Shen requested from higher-ups have arrived. We can dig a well soon, but we're short of manpower.

Our village will need 10 people to help dig wells, and another 6 to learn how to operate a tractor. This is a good thing.”

"What... is there such a good thing?"

"Of course, please hurry up and don't make the leader wait anxiously."

"Okay, okay, okay... I'll call a meeting and have people come over."

"Okay, old secretary, I'll go back and reply right away. Tell them to go directly to the commune compound and don't run around."

"Do not worry……"

The four clerks were all similar. They gave instructions and ran back.

Now is my chance to show off in front of Leader Shen.

Word has spread that the Commune is going to make some small changes.

For example, a new agricultural machinery factory is established to specifically park ten tractors.

There are also seed drills and harvesters on it.

It can be said that it has everything.

What to do after the manpower is transferred out?

Of course, to do more things.

For example, land reclamation, road construction, tree planting, and canal digging all require people.

At noon, Shen He had already seen 40 people gathered and 20 tractor trainees.

These people are just temporary. Those who fail to meet the academic standards will be kicked out directly.

Anyway, Shen He doesn't want this kind of thing.

The 10 people who had been practicing driving these days had nothing to do, so Shen He assigned them a job: two of them would lead four people to teach the villagers who followed them.

Only these five vehicles are used for training, and the remaining vehicles are used to transport drilling equipment.

The place we are going to dig a well today is Jiujiagou, the poorest of the villages.

After leaving the commune and walking west along the path, you will soon reach Jiujiagou.

An official had already come by bicycle to inform the village that not only the well-drilling team had arrived, but also the new Director You and Secretary Tian were following behind.

Secretary Bao of the brigade, Captain Wu, and a group of people hurried out to greet them.

The villagers were divided into two groups, one group went to the farmland behind to continue working, and the other group of old and strong people came to greet them.

Seeing such people, You Menglin was very happy.

If they are not happy about digging a well, how can they be happy?

But the taste...

I won’t say that anymore.

Secretary Tian gave an opening speech, and You Menglin also went up to say a few words.

In a nutshell, dig wells first, then build roads, and plant trees while getting rich.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the members of the brigade were so happy after hearing it that the wrinkles on their faces were so big that they could pinch mosquitoes to death.

Without saying anything else, let’s just say this: dig a well first.

Two wells are to be dug in the village.

It is to ensure that the whole village has access to drinking water.

After that, we have to dig a well in the field.

Now that there is a well in the field, we no longer have to go far to fetch water for watering.

No matter how much you talk, it’s better to do it.

Shen He took You Menglin with a shovel and dug three holes in the village under Shen He's command.

This is where the well was dug.

Nothing to say.

Counting the two wells in Shenhe, one produced water at 15 meters, and the other had a similar water level.

When the well was being dug, You Menglin, the commune director, lived in Jiujiagou.

On the one hand, it is to see the life here, and on the other hand, it is to experience the local customs and culture.

There is also another type of attitude that says, "I won't leave until I get enough water."

On the first day, when there was nothing to do, the woman carried a shovel and ran to help with the work.

I came back at noon with blisters on my hands.

Shen He felt sorry for her and hit her several times. He also warned her seriously that she was not doing any labor but was actually making things worse.

When hoeing the land, if an old farmer hoes out two stalks of crops, he will feel sad for a long time.

Who knows how much this woman has dug out.

Didn’t you see that when the secretary sent her here, he also didn’t allow her to go again?

Seeing You Menglin's aggrieved look, Shen He did not agree.

From then on, he let her follow him around everywhere.

First, we counted the number of chickens and sheep in the village, and then made other detailed plans for the village.

For example, what happens after becoming wealthy? How can a farmer's prosperity be highlighted? Does it require every household to have chickens and sheep?

However, since the last time breeding was liberalized, almost every city in the country experienced what it means to be sick of eating meat, so clear regulations were made.

Except for the task pig.

Villagers can only raise one pig.

The total number of livestock raised cannot exceed one-third of the village households.

That is to say, if you have a brigade with 100 households, the number of pigs in the brigade cannot exceed 33.

The key is that no one can support so many, and no one can afford it.

There may be restrictions in other places, but here… many people can’t even afford to raise pigs themselves, let alone raise them.

Digging a well takes time and effort. It takes at least three to five days to dig a well.

Although water only comes out at 15 meters, you have to drill dozens of meters deeper. Shen He plans to drill 100 meters for this well.

There's a tube anyway.

Secondly, Shenhe also planned to build a cement pipe factory.
