I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

The best option is to improve the waterwheel and spread the technology of building waterwheels so that people can use it!

In his previous life, Fang Yiyi was punished to work in the kitchen and farm in a secluded mountainous area where no one lived.

There is a wooden waterwheel on the nearby river, which supplies water to the nearby villagers.

It is much more convenient to use than a bucket cart and can draw large amounts of water from rivers with slow water flow.

Fang Yiyi had disassembled and repaired it before, and remembered the gear structure inside clearly.

Later, I will go directly to the Production Supervisor and find Yan Xuansui to work together to make just one.

I believe that Yan Xuansui will be very interested in this waterwheel.

As soon as it is done, he will distribute the blueprints to everyone. Even the wealthy and powerful families cannot stop them!

Let all people in the world use it, irrigation will be convenient, people will be more convenient to farm, and grain production will be increased in disguise.

Paired with potatoes and sweet potatoes, it’s invincible!

Fang Yiyi smiled and said to the one-armed man:

"Just work hard for a few more days, and then I'll make a useful waterwheel for you!"

The one-armed man excitedly bowed to Fang Yiyi and said:

"Thank you, Saburo!"

It is now late spring, the last time for spring sowing.

Although there are only a few dozen people coming to Zhuangzi now, the house has not been built yet.

But they all began to diligently turn over the fields to prepare for later sowing.

There will be more widows coming later, and if we all work together, we can plant the seeds in time.

Even if there were no water wheels, it was not difficult for Fang Yiyi to imagine that this group of widows would work day and night without rest to carry water to irrigate the fields.

But that's too hard.

The water truck for irrigating farmland must be obtained as soon as possible!

It is not too late.

Fang Yiyi said hello to Chai Xueying, got on the carriage and headed towards the Construction Bureau.

The Director of Works was in a room that belonged exclusively to Yan Xuansui.

There was only seriousness on Yan Xuansui's honest face. His eyes were focused as he stared closely at the machine in his hands. His hands, covered with tiny scars, steadily assembled the parts one by one.

"Yan Dalang, what are you doing?"

The sweet voice sounded like thunder in the quiet house.

Yan Xuansui, who was concentrating, was frightened.

Wow!

The parts that had been assembled with great difficulty fell apart.

Yan Xuansui stared with hopeless eyes, watching his hard work go to waste, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

The sound of brisk footsteps came closer and closer.

A pretty young girl, wearing a yellow and red double-breasted skirt, who looked very graceful and elegant, came over with her pure oval face and approached the table.

Chapter 80 Ancient Elf Monster Dai Wanwan

The girl looked at the scattered parts on the table with her pretty round eyes, and an apologetic look appeared on her face. She apologized:

"I'm sorry to bother you, how about I do it with you?"

Yan Xuansui raised his head, looked at the girl warily and said:

"Dai Wanwan, don't try to attract my toys' attention."

Dai Wanwan, the daughter of Minister of Civil Affairs Dai Zhou, tilted her head playfully and blinked her innocent eyes and said:

"Yan Dalang, what do you mean?"

"I was helping you out of kindness, and you missed me like this!"

As she spoke, she pouted and said dissatisfiedly:

"Who helped you solve the assembly problem when you made the Qianjiku last time?"

"Who helped you solve the weight problem when you were shrinking the horizontal sword last time?"

“Up, up, up…”

Yan Xuansui listened to Dai Wanwan enumerating the ways she had helped him, like she was reading out the names of dishes. He immediately lowered his head like a defeated rooster, and said helplessly, “I’ll just have to admit my fate.

"It's you. It's all you. You are my great benefactor."

Dai Wanwan raised her head proudly.

Yan Xuansui also knew that he was being stingy, and couldn't help but explain:

"But Wanwan, when we invent and create, isn't it about enjoying the process of creating something from nothing?"

"I've only made half of this mechanism, and now I'm working on it with you, which only cuts the fun in half."

"How about I make it and then disassemble it for you to play with?"

Dai Wanwan heard this and immediately agreed:

"We agreed that once you assemble it, you should dismantle it for me to play with."

Yan Xuansui immediately laughed and nodded quickly.

Afterwards, Dai Wanwan did not disturb Yan Xuansui, but watched him fiddle with the parts quietly. The room fell into silence again, with only slight clicking sounds heard from time to time.

I just finished one third of it.

A strong and vigorous voice was heard from outside.

"Report to Dalang, Sanlang of the Fang family wants to see you!"

Wow!

The assembled toys were scattered on the table again.

Dai Wanwan and Yan Xuansui both had angry expressions on their faces.

Without waiting for Yan Xuansui to speak, the hot pepper Dai Wanwan stood up angrily, pinching her waist and shouting:

"Don't you know that the supervisor is forbidden to make loud noises?"

"Just report it, why are you yelling?"

"You will follow the rules of the supervisor..."

The cute voice, even when scolding people, will not make people feel disgusted, but just feel interesting.

The door opened and a tall, thin figure walked in.

Dai Wanwan blinked her eyes, her hot temper disappeared, and she bowed and said softly, crossing her arms:

"Meet Fang Sanlang."

The speed of this change of expression is very fast.

In the past, Dai Wanwan would not have been so kind to the notorious Fang Yiyi.

But her grandfather Dai Zhou said that the emperor was very optimistic about Fang Yiyi, and because of the 20% coal mine, the Ministry of Civil Affairs no longer had to worry about the money and grain problems of the national treasury, and in a disguised sense owed Fang Yiyi a favor.

Fang Yiyi is now a changed man after getting married and has a bright future ahead of him. We can't make friends with him, but we can't make enemies with him either.

Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied Dai Wanwan was with Fang Yiyi, she could not show it, and displayed the gentle and polite side of a lady from a noble family.

Fang Yiyi, knowing that he was in the wrong, smiled awkwardly, saluted with his arms crossed and said:

"Greetings, Madam Dai. I was in a hurry and urged you too much, so I raised my voice a little louder. Please don't blame me for disturbing you!"

"It's okay, it's okay! Everyone has something urgent to do, just chat!"

Dai Wanwan waved her hand, walked aside, and started to look through some books, giving the space to the two of them. However, curious eyes kept looking over at them.

Yan Xuansui, who was standing aside, couldn't help but grinning when he saw that Xiao Lajiao had rarely restrained her hot temper.

Chapter 81 Don’t be obsessed with me

The next moment, Yan Xuansui was glared at by Dai Wanwan, and he immediately restrained his expression and saluted Fang Yiyi:

"Xingzhi, what do you want to see me for?"

Fang Yiyi immediately said seriously: "I came to ask you for a barrel cart to send to the new field that the emperor gave me."

"Also, I have an idea. I want to build a new type of waterwheel with you. Even if the flow is slow, it can still draw a considerable amount of water."

Yan Xuansui frowned and analyzed rigorously:

"You need to ask my grandfather or my second uncle for permission for the drum cart. However, if Fang Yiyi asks for the drum cart, there will be no problem."

"However, you want to modify the waterwheel, which is not easy. If the idea is feasible, I will do my best to help. If it is not possible, I guess you will have to ask my grandfather or second uncle for help, and then you will have to come forward and ask them in person!"

At this point, Yan Xuansui blinked and joked:

"You don't know that a mine will appear if you just point your finger. The supervisors will regard you as a god and want to learn your mining skills from you."

Yan Xuansui made great efforts in the coal mine project and easily mobilized a large number of people from the construction supervisory department to help with mining.

Fang Yiyi had previously agreed that the brothers should make money together, so he directly gave half of the profits to the Yan family. The Yan family refused, so Fang Yiyi proposed to give the Yan family the associated minerals of the coal mine, no matter what they were. This was exactly what the Yan family liked, so they happily accepted it.

Now Fang Yiyi asks Yan Lide for help, and Yan Liben is better at doing things than Yan Xuansui!

Fang Yiyi said modestly: "That was a chance gift from God. I found it by chance. I really don't have any mining skills."

"Qide, wait a moment. I'll go find your grandfather first, and then I'll come find you!"

"Okay, you go first. I'll find all the design drawings of the waterwheel first. Maybe it will help in improving the waterwheel!" Yan Xuansui agreed.

Fang Yiyi turned around and was about to leave.

Dai Wanwan, who was pretending to flip through a book, couldn't help it, and quickly ran to the door, opened her arms, stopped Fang Yiyi, and said impatiently:

"Fang Sanlang, you guys want to build a waterwheel, can you take me with you?"

Fang Yiyi, who didn't know Dai Wanwan very well, turned his head and looked at Yan Xuansui, his eyes full of inquiry.

Yan Xuansui, who was honest and frank, admitted that he was not as capable as the girl, and said seriously:

"Mrs. Dai's understanding of mechanical engineering is much better than mine. My grandfather and second uncle both praise her highly."

"If she wasn't a girl, my grandfather would have wanted to take her in as his last disciple."

Dai Wanwan held her head high, her face full of pride, and looked at Fang Yiyi expectantly.

But Fang Yiyi frowned, making Dai Wanwan feel uneasy.

Fang Yiyi looked at Dai Wanwan's anxious expression. His serious face suddenly relaxed and he said in a friendly manner:

“Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.”

"I'll have to trouble the Dai family's eldest lady when the time comes."

Instantly, Dai Wanwan smiled, showing her unique playfulness and liveliness. She patted her not-so-big chest with her slender hands and said with great pride:

"Don't worry, I will do my best for you. Also, when you take me out to play, just call me Wanwan. There's no need to be so distant."

Fang Yiyi smiled and nodded, "Then I'd be disrespectful to refuse it."

"In this case, Wanwan can also ask me to do it."

Then he went to Yan Lide's duty room.

If one more person improves the waterwheel, he or she will get more credit.

But Dai Zhou, as the Minister of Civil Affairs, was dedicated to the people and had no selfish motives.

Chapter 82: The New Waterwheel Is Wonderful

Not to mention the distant past, the fact that he proposed the charity granary last year, which benefits the people, is worthy of Fang Yiyi's respect.
