Chapter 251 The County Magistrate Returns to Daliushu Village
"Stable, stable!"
The one who exclaimed was Zhao Qinghai. He was standing at the front and when he saw that the waterwheel was stable, he shouted and almost jumped up in excitement.
When the men heard this, they also drove the last stake.
The water flowed over, and the waterwheel began to turn slowly, and then turned faster and faster. The water splashing out as the waterwheel turned looked like gems under the sunlight, dazzling and brilliant.
The water flows to the wheel, the waterwheel turns, and the water bucket is filled with river water. The river water is lifted to the highest point and poured into the wooden trough, flowing continuously into the dug ditch.
"It's flowing out! It's really flowing out!"
Some people saw that the ditch was full of water, and the water was flowing along the ditch. Some farmers were even running along with the water.
Everyone couldn't help but run after the water until they saw it flowing through their own fields.
"Great, it worked!"
"We no longer have to run so far to fetch water for the fields!"
“These few coins are totally worth it!”
“It saves a lot of effort.”
......
Everyone almost cried with joy.
Some people even excitedly scooped up water from the ditch and lifted it up.
Zhao Qinghai almost burst into tears.
He has been in the Agriculture Department for many years and has never been as excited as he is today.
He oversaw the development of this little by little. The invention of the waterwheel will have a great impact on the promotion of agricultural technology.
He also heard that the Shen family was going to use the principle of a waterwheel to make a water mill that could grind flour without much effort.
Yes, the principle of this waterwheel can be used to make many things.
Xu Huaiyuan was also silent and shocked. Although he didn't recognize this thing, he now understood that it could actually bring water to the fields.
It has been a short while since he last came, and Daliushu Village has produced such a good thing that benefits the country and the people!
He felt a little stunned.
numb.
Lin Wenyue couldn't help but get excited. Her trip was truly worth it. She didn't expect to be able to witness such a scene.
She doesn't understand agriculture, but she knows how hard farmers work.
"Master Xu, this Daliushu Village is really full of talented people. Whoever came up with this idea is amazing."
She couldn't help but speak.
Xu Huaiyuan didn't know either, but his intuition told him that it would be Su Wanwan. His eyes involuntarily searched the crowd and he saw Mrs. Shen holding a towel to wipe the water off Shen Yuan's body and head. Her eyes were so gentle that it seemed like she could squeeze water out of them.
They are a really loving couple.
Lin Wenyue also followed his gaze and saw the couple. Her eyes lit up and she blurted out:
“There are such people in Daliushu Village!”
Although the man was wearing a grey coarse cloth and the woman was also dressed very ordinary, no different from ordinary village women, they just felt different.
Maybe it’s because both of them are good-looking, and the children around them are also cute. Although their clothes are not gorgeous, they are full of energy.
"Lord County Magistrate!"
Finally, someone saw Xu Huaiyuan and his group, and an exclamation attracted everyone's attention.
When they saw County Magistrate Xu, everyone knelt down and saluted.
Zhao Qinghai walked straight forward.
"Sir, why are you here?"
Xu Huaiyuan asked everyone to stand up. Zhao Qinghai had his trouser legs rolled up, his body was covered with water stains, and he was wearing a coarse cloth short shirt. He looked no different from any old man in the village.
"Master Zhao is so happy that he doesn't want to return to his homeland."
Zhao Qinghai laughed and agreed very much:
"Your Excellency, please don't say that. I really want to live directly in this Daliushu Village."
Xu Huaiyuan did not comment and immediately looked at the waterwheel that was still rotating. Zhao Qinghai immediately stepped forward to introduce it.
Here, Xiao Duoduo has already run to Yue'er and Yunyi. This time he brought some candies and snacks, especially for the two little friends.
"Brother Duoduo, you are here."
Xiao Yue'er was also very happy to see Xu Qianzhou and immediately went to greet him.
Yun Yi also followed. He was the same age as Xu Qianzhou and they had a lot of fun playing together last time. He still liked this little friend very much.
"Sister Yue'er, Brother Yunyi, I brought you a lot of delicious food. I also want to go to your house to see the little grass later."
Xu Qianzhou especially likes the small courtyard of Xiao Yue'er's house. Although his house was not that big before, it was also pretty good. It's a pity that his father made him stay with his second uncle to study and didn't let him go back.
"Yes, yes, welcome to my home. Xiaocao and the others have grown up."
Xiao Yueer nodded.
"Yes, they should be called big grass and big flowers now."
Little Yunyi also nodded. The two pigs grew so fast and were now much bigger than him and his sister.
Su Wanwan also wiped Shen Yuan's hair half dry, and when she heard the little guys talking, she smiled knowingly.
"Xiao Duoduo, you came at the right time. Many vegetables in our garden are ripe. I was in a hurry last time and didn't invite you to dinner. Let's go to my aunt's house for dinner today."
When Xu Qianzhou heard this, his eyes lit up.
He heard from Yun Yi that the food cooked by his aunt was particularly delicious.
"Wanwan, we won't be polite. It just so happens that we brought some meat and food with us this time."
Old Mrs. Xu at the side spoke up. She really didn't plan to leave so soon this time. It was not even noon yet, so she had to wait until it was almost dark before leaving.
So she came with food this time, and she had something to discuss with Wanwan.
"Aunt, you came to my house and brought food with you. That's too polite. Whenever you come to my house, I will definitely provide you with food."
Aunt Xu smiled and didn't say anything.
These days, there has just been a drought and life is not easy for everyone.
She also knew that Su Wanwan's family had received rewards from the imperial court and would not be short of food.
It is one thing that there is no shortage of food, but it is natural for them to stay for a meal, which is a lack of etiquette.
Shen Yuan tidied up his appearance and went to Zhao Qinghai.
Accompanied by Liu Daping, Xu Huaiyuan and Zhao Qinghai went for another walk in the fields. Seeing the flowing water, they were filled with passion.
When he first arrived in Tongxu County, he encountered a drought and the imperial court issued a death order to him, ordering him to intercept the refugees. This would have been an impossible task before.
He even struggled to hold on with the belief that he would lose his job.
Unexpectedly, everything was resolved in just a few months, and when the drought is over, he may add many political achievements.
So many farm tools, corn and sweet potatoes, two high-yield crops, plus this waterwheel...
His political achievements came one after another, as if pie had fallen on his head.
He felt that he had never been so lucky in his life.
All this is thanks to Shen Yuan and his wife.
"Shen Yuan, you two have done so much good, I don't know how to reward you."
Xu Huaiyuan really had a headache.
