I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Governor Zhang said: "Why don't we ask the governor of the neighboring state for help? Maybe he has a good idea..."

Liang Yuhui smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't they all the same..."

The next day, Ji Xiaobei pushed open the door of the cold storage and found a rusty object inside.

Zheng Guo left a note: Bought it for eight million, bought from a collection museum in a southern city.

Ji Xiaobei touched the thing. This big lump of rusty iron was really worth so much money.

It’s really a rip-off.

The head of the butterfly cone is cone-shaped, with two mud buckets on the top to collect the excavated mud and sand.

Ji Xiaobei was a little troubled as to how to take it out.

Fu Jichang said: "Who cares about this in Ye County? As long as there is water to drink, everything is fine."

So, the two people found this thing at the foot of Boling Mountain.

Governor Zhang was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and then he burst into laughter.

"This thing can actually drill a well. The rust on it is a foot thick. The well is so deep that this butterfly can't drill into it..."

After laughing, he walked away.

He thought to himself: These young people's ideas are so whimsical and ridiculous.

Seeing Governor Zhang's carriage disappearing into the distance, Liang Yuhui smiled sheepishly and said, "Miss Ji, don't mind it. Governor Zhang is a bit straightforward..."

Although Liang Yuhui didn't quite believe it, he still wanted to give it a try.

But only a few of them knew about this matter. There were also a few people in the county government who knew about it, and he had already ordered them not to publicize it.

Fu Jichang believed in Ji Xiaobei and always believed in her.

He looked at Ji Xiaobei calmly and said, "We dug wells to find water for the people of Yongchang Prefecture. Xiaobei, tell me, what should we do next?"

Just at this moment, Fang Qing rode over on horseback.

"I was on patrol just now and ran into Governor Zhang. He said he found a tool for digging wells. I came to take a look..."

Fang Qing looked at the butterfly cone, touched it with his hand, and said suspiciously, "Master Fu, can this really dig a well?"

Before Fu Jichang could speak, Ji Xiaobei said, "Sure, now we need to choose a site..."

"I'm good at this. When I came to Ye County, I dug five wells in the military camp. Unfortunately, there is too much cement and sand in the water. It will take a few days to settle before we can drink it."

"Then let's dig a well near General Fang's military camp so that it will be convenient for you to get water..."

Ji Xiaobei.

Everyone agreed.

Liang Yuhui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they chose a military camp where there were few civilians, so that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

The people of Ye County are all eager for water. Once they see that the county government has not been able to draw water, there will definitely be riots and more people will flee their homes.

Ji Xiaobei thought that the military camp was located at a lower altitude with lush grass, so water would definitely be able to be drawn from it.

Fu Jichang was worried about Ji Xiaobei.

He cared about whether he could dig the well successfully, but he cared more about how Ji Xiaobei would lose face if he failed.

Fang Qing sent someone to carry the butterfly cone into the military camp.

Ji Xiaobei instructed them how to use it.

"Ah, no need to go down the well?" Everyone was surprised.

The mud buckets on both sides were filled with mud and sand, so the soldiers cleaned them out with shovels.

Several strong men who were responsible for drilling the butterfly cones started drilling again.

The men took turns to dig, and in half a day, the well had been drilled to a depth of two meters.

Fang Qing had people make the well oars according to Ji Xiaobei's requirements using solid jujube wood, with a hexagonal structure to enhance supporting strength.

The lumberjacks and timber cutters over there are working busily.

The finished well raked was transported over, lowered into the well, and compacted with a heavy hammer.

Fang Qing watched closely, his stern face looking like a grocery store, three parts surprise, two parts confusion, and five parts admiration.

Ji Xiaobei was busy and sweating.

"Ji, Miss Ji, the army's food is ready, please eat first!" Fang Qing ran over with a sincere look on his face.

"She won't eat here. She will eat when these wooden poles are old!"

Fu Jichang's eyes were cold.

Fang Qing seemed not to notice and continued, "Master Fu, you can eat too. We in the army have specially prepared a special meal for Miss Ji. No, for you guys."

Fang Qing felt that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed it.

"Okay, let's eat here, so we don't have to go back home to eat. The people drilling can go and eat separately..." said Ji Xiaobei.

"That's, that's..."

Fang Qing had a smile on his face.

"Miss Ji, let us take care of the rest. You can go to my backyard and take a rest. I'm the only one in the backyard!"

Fang Qing deliberately added another sentence and glanced at Fu Jichang's cold face.

He didn't know what he said was wrong.

He just admires Miss Ji!

At this time, a nanny came over and said a few words to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing walked over with a smile.

"Miss Ji, last time my daughter Zhiying tried to commit suicide, it was you who saved her from a disaster. When I heard that you are coming, I specially asked the nanny to invite you. I will have someone send the food over, you can have dinner with me."

The nanny over there had an expectant look on her face, while Fang Qing here had a sincere look on his face.

Ji Xiaobei couldn't refuse.

She nodded and followed Mammy.

Fu Jichang: ...

"Master, it's time to eat! Master..." Heita pulled Fu Jichang to eat.

Fu Jichang was in a difficult position to make, so he only ate half a bowl of rice and said he was full.

He was secretly unhappy because from what Fang Qing said, he and Ji Xiaobei were very familiar with each other.

Ji Xiaobei knew that he had asked Fang Qing for help.

But the two of them were not that familiar with each other. Ji Xiaobei even had dinner with his daughter.

Ji Xiaobei also saved his daughter. When did that happen?

Fu Jichang felt that Ji Xiaobei had hidden too many things from him.

……

Liang Yuhui was so absorbed in digging a well that he paid no attention to anything else around him. He just focused on eating.

Fang Qing happily ate three bowls of rice, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going to go back first. I have some military affairs to deal with. Everyone, go to the tent over there and rest for a while."

When Fu Jichang saw Fang Qing walking towards the direction where Ji Xiaobei and the nanny were going, he called Fang Qing over.

"General Fang, the military camp is over there..."

Fu Jichang pointed to a place not far away.

Fang Qing said with a smile: "I'm going to go back to the back house to get something!"

Fu Jichang gritted his teeth and wished he could go with him.

Heita tugged at his master's sleeve.

"Master, General Fang is going back to his home. Why are you so angry?"

Fu Jichang was so angry that he kicked Heita: "I want to be angry, why do you care whether I am angry or not?"

Black Tower felt wronged: What’s wrong with me?

Ji Xiaobei followed the nanny to the back house of Zhang's mansion.

The hot meals have been delivered.

Fang Zhiying was sitting at the dining table. When she saw the nanny and Ji Xiaobei coming over, she quickly stood up and saluted.
