Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 145: The Eve of Making a Waterwheel
The journey was safe and sound.
After Su Muyao arranged everyone in Taoliu Village, Old Lady Su took a few women to prepare some food.
The emperor in the palace has been unable to sleep or eat well these days.
First, the generals sent over suffered repeated defeats, and then King Xiaoyao directly cut off the north-south transportation channel.
The most hateful thing is that King Xiaoyao actually collaborated with the enemy and sold out his country. In recent days, the entire court has become chaotic.
After Ying came back, he reported the situation along the way. Long Yuan felt that the emperor was very busy these two days. If he took Su Muyao's iron lump out openly at this critical juncture, he would definitely be impeached by the ministers in the court.
This was already the second day since Su Muyao and her friends arrived in the capital. Long Yuan arrived at the old Su's house early this morning.
As soon as I walked in, I felt very cool, which washed away all the summer restlessness.
Su Muyao turned on the air conditioner for 24 hours, especially since there were many people coming in and out at home, the cold air would run out quickly.
Once it's turned off for a while, the whole body feels so hot that it's almost unbearable.
I have everything. Life is so short, why should I put myself in a difficult position?
After Su Muyao figured it out, she no longer tried to hide anything. After all, she had seen the people in power in this country, so she was naturally not afraid of those treacherous people.
Long Yuan thought about the properties that his mother had placed in his name, and suddenly wondered if he could sell a few of them in exchange for this magical treasure from Su Muyao?
A few days ago, my mother kept complaining about the heat, and I thought of Su Muyao at that time, but this little girl was just aloof.
If I want to get something for nothing from her, it's really impossible.
Especially since it hasn't rained for several months, the crops in the fields are wilting.
Su Muyao has been considering building some more dormitory buildings these days.
It just so happened that Long Yuan came over today, and Su Muyao wanted to take advantage of this big fat sheep.
Although there are countless gold, silver, jade and stones in my space, they are mine after all, so I still feel reluctant to use them.
If Long Yuan knew about this idea, he would definitely be upset. So, I wouldn't feel bad if I used someone else's!
"You're just in time to sit over here. I want to build a dormitory building. Do you want to partner with me?"
"What is a dormitory building?"
"It's a residential complex with public areas, walls, and upstairs and downstairs housing for people to live in."
Long Yuan...
When she is not needed, this little girl works on her own and earns her own money.
Now that she needs my help, she asks for partnership. There's really nothing I can do about her.
Su Muyao looked at the little boy in front of her, looked unhappy, and suddenly clapped her hands.
"How about letting your father pay for it? He has money anyway. Instead of using the money to support a bunch of concubines, he might as well build a residential building. Wouldn't this also solve the problem of the people being displaced?"
Longyuan...
Does this little bastard know what he meant by what he said? If anyone else had said this, they would have been dragged out and beheaded.
"Father has already spent a lot on the Spring Ploughing Ceremony. If we ask him to spend more money now, I'm afraid he won't be able to..."
Long Yuan thought about how a lot of money had been spent before, and there had been a drought, so the court had already planted countless relief grains.
The national treasury had long been empty, and the concubines in the harem were also tightening their belts.
No one in the entire dynasty can live a more comfortable life than this little girl.
The two of them walked outside. Despite the hot weather, the big guy still took a hoe and went to the field to weed.
Mr. Su San, who was passing by, looked towards Su Muyao from a distance and waved his hand, "Little Lucky Star, it's hot outside, go back quickly."
"Hello, Grandpa Su San, are you weeding the fields? It's so hot, why don't you go in the evening?"
Su Muyao looked up at the sun. It was already high in the sky and it would be easy to get heatstroke if she went down at this point.
"It's okay. We are all farmers and are used to it. You are so delicate and soft, you can't be exposed to the sun. Go back quickly!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Su Muyao and went to the fields quickly. He got up a little late today.
My wife has not been feeling well these past two days, so she went to the fields only after cooking in the morning.
The days get bright early in the summer, and the sun is already high at this time.
Long Yuan sighed as he watched the man walk away, "Although it is also a drought this year, but since you planted this crop, it is not too afraid of drought.
But the grass doesn’t seem to be afraid of the heat and grows quite fast. Weeding should be the most tiring job for every household, right? "
Su Muyao smiled when she heard this and said, "I have a way. We can get rid of the weeds without having to work on the ground."
"How is that possible? It's not like everything was burned down in one fire."
Su Muyao just asked back, "Weeding is so tiring. If a family is willing to spend a few dollars to hire someone to weed thoroughly, how much do you think is appropriate per acre?"
Long Yuan thought for a while before replying: "Let's say such tiring work requires 20 yuan a day, and if you give me one or two meals, that's also a lot of money."
Su Muyao asked again: "I don't need to worry about food, I only pay wages. How much do you think is appropriate?"
Long Yuan immediately replied, "I pay five or six cents for one mu of land. Do you have a hundred mu of land?"
Su Muyao...
It's really hard for ordinary people to earn money.
Long Yuan didn't want to discuss this irrelevant topic with her, so he asked, "Let's talk about the dormitory building you mentioned first. Logically speaking, the money should come from the national treasury.
It’s just that this is a special period and we can’t come up with the money right now. If you have money, you can help pay it first, and the court will pay you back in monthly installments.”
Su Muyao listened to what Long Yuan said and gritted her teeth, "It turns out that capitalists are the same wherever they go. They even think of paying in installments, huh."
Long Yuan didn't quite understand what Su Muyao meant, but she looked unhappy.
Su Muyao thought of the people in Taoliu Village, each of whom was helping to weed and water the fields for free.
Now I am just in charge of these people's food, but I always feel that I am the capitalist.
Many people now have nowhere to live, and those refugees who came to the capital with Taoliu Village are now being stopped outside the capital.
Each person needs to pay five copper coins to enter the city, but these copper coins are not considered a burden to the people in Taoliu Village.
After all, almost every household in Taoliu Village had saved a lot of money, so a few copper coins were nothing to them.
But those people who could not afford to eat had already spent all their savings along the way. Now that hope was right in front of them, they were stumped by five cents.
Su Muyao's mind was full of thoughts about building a residential community and getting water connected. Although she had money, she always felt like she was being taken advantage of by spending her own money.
Standing on this open space, I thought about what the community would look like, where the green space would be, where people would live, and where the factory could be built.
The most important thing right now is to make a waterwheel first. Relying solely on the water in the reservoir is simply a drop in the bucket.
"Let's go back."
Long Yuan looked at Su Muyao, who looked worried, nodded, and followed her back to the main room.
Every time Long Yuan returned to the main hall of Su Muyao's house, he seemed to come alive.
"I remember you have the Agricultural Department and the Ministry of Industry. I'll draw a picture for you and ask them to help speed up the work."
Soon, a picture of a waterwheel appeared. Long Yuan looked at the strange thing in front of him, confused.
"What is this?"
"This is called a waterwheel. Do you see this baffle? It can bring water up and then down to the fields."
Su Muyao pointed at the waterwheel in the painting and explained the principle behind it to the little boy in front of her.
In fact, waterwheels are not difficult to make. It was not that difficult for the ancient people who were full of labor wisdom. The difficult part is that it is big.
