The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"Don't know what's good for you? Huh?" Song Ruorou stepped on the short man's hand and said in a hoarse voice.

"Auntie, please spare me. I was blind and didn't recognize the real talent. Ouch..."

The short man cried and begged for mercy.

"Are you still collecting protection fees? Huh?" Song Ruorou continued in a cold voice.

"This..." The short man choked and looked at their boss with squinted eyes.

Seeing this, Song Ruorou stepped on the scarred man's hand instead: "Hmm?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Why don't you get out of here right away!" Song Ruorou snorted coldly.

"Get out of here, get out of here..." Several people quickly got up and prepared to run away.

"Wait!" Gu Yin stopped him, "You want to leave after smashing the things?"

"We will compensate, we will compensate..."

The scarred man took out a handful of silver from his pocket, and when he saw Gu Yin still had a cold face, he slapped the back of his head and cursed:

"Do you have any sense? Take out all the silver!"

"Yes Yes Yes"

A group of younger brothers hurriedly took out their money.

The scarred man limped over, licked his face, held out the silver, then turned around and fled.

"Miss." Zhenzhu panted slightly and whispered quietly in Gu Yin's ear. Gu Yin's brows relaxed after hearing it, and she grinned at the few people who ran to the entrance of the alley.

"Get 'em!"

"How dare you act wildly in Ning'an Street? Do you really think we are vegetarians?"

Sure enough, the bullies were quickly subdued by the yamen runners. Ning County needed labor for construction, and it would be unreasonable not to accept the free labor.

He handed the silver to Aunt Chen and said:

"Give the silver to the customers whose food was dropped, and keep the rest."

"Oh~" Aunt Chen agreed happily. She thought the business would not be able to continue, but she didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly.

"Hey, have you sent someone to report to the police?"

Song Ruorou bumped Gu Yin's arm with her shoulder. Just now, when she saw Zhenzhu sneaking back, she realized that Gu Yin had arranged a retreat.

"you guess."

Gu Yin answered perfunctorily that she hadn't taken any powerful pills and didn't have any time to spare, so what would she do if she didn't call for help earlier? Was she just waiting to be bullied?

Fortunately, there was no danger, but I didn't expect Song Ruorou to be so good at kung fu. It seems that I will have to cling to her more in the future.

After such a terrible thing happened, the few people had no mood to hang around anymore. They helped to clean up the tables, chairs and benches, and then went back home.

After recruiting all the staff, Gu Huaiyi could not wait to urge Gu Yin to start work as soon as possible. Gu Yin did not hesitate and brought the drawings to the workshop the next day, led by the yamen runners.

The two people who led the way happened to be two runners, one tall and one short, who were recruiting people at the city gate. The tall one was called Gao Fei and the short one was called Lu Yuan.

A few people walked into the workshop, and the originally noisy workshop suddenly became quiet.

Gao Fei cleared his throat and introduced loudly:

"This is Miss Gu, the daughter of the county magistrate. From now on, you must obey Miss Gu's command. Miss Gu will make the final decision on all matters here."

As soon as Gao Fei finished speaking, the people below began to whisper and talk.

Those who knew about Gu Yin's initiative before were surprised, but they also felt that it was reasonable. They just didn't know what they were going to do this time, but when they thought about the farm tools that brought great convenience to agriculture, they couldn't help but feel a little excited.

As for those who knew nothing about Gu Yin, some looked disdainful, and some looked slightly angry. They probably thought the county magistrate was making fun of them, otherwise why would he let them obey the orders of a little girl.

"Miss Gu, are you proficient in carpentry?"

Suddenly, a man walked out of the crowd, bowed to Gu Yin and asked with a smile. However, although the man was smiling, his tone was not so sincere.

"No." Gu Yin said simply.

"Then...are you familiar with the construction process and engineering cost?"

"don't know."

"Then..." The man frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"Everyone, there's no need to test me anymore." Gu Yin said loudly to everyone, "Yes, I may not be able to do what you can do, but, I can do it, and you definitely won't!"

Gu Yin said, raising the blueprint in his hand, and then said:

"This is what we are going to build this time. It's called a waterwheel. Anyone who regrets it now and doesn't want to participate can quit now."

"Otherwise, once you look at the blueprint, it will be too late to quit."

Gu Yin looked around at the crowd for a moment, and seeing that no one stood up, he continued:

"Since everyone chooses to stay, let me tell you my rules."

"First, before the waterwheel is manufactured, no one is allowed to leak the secret, otherwise the consequences will be at their own risk. Second, during the waterwheel manufacturing process, you must obey the instructions and not deliberately sing a different tune. However, everyone is welcome to put forward opinions or suggestions for technical improvements. Third..."

Gu Yin smiled lightly and said:

"Everyone just needs to study hard and work hard. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. I will never break my promise. In addition, I will select two responsible persons to help me. I look forward to your performance."

The man just kept listening with a smile, but didn't say anything else. The others felt relieved after hearing that they had been rewarded, and there was a hint of anticipation on their faces, after all, no one should not like silver.

Gu Yin plans to select a technical director and a construction process director. The technical director is responsible for guiding technical issues, while the construction process director is responsible for controlling all aspects of the project.

She only knew the general structure of the waterwheel. Some detailed technologies still needed to be studied by professionals, and the sources of materials for each link of the entire project also required communication with dedicated people.

In fact, she already had a candidate in mind for the technical director, but in order to avoid any objections, she could only wait for two days to let everyone see his skills first and convince everyone.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash, and Gu Yin spread out the drawings on the table.

"Everyone please take a look at the blueprint first, and then think about which part you can complete. I will come to Pearl to explain it later."

For more than 20 people to complete a project, there must be a good division of labor, and only by doing what you are good at can you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Several large blueprints covered the entire table, and Gu Yin marked the parts that he knew. Everyone gathered around the table to examine it carefully, including Gu Shu and the man from before. Gu Shu frowned slightly when he first saw the blueprints, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. However, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but mutter:

"This, this, this waterwheel is so ingenious."

After that, he looked at Gu Yin and asked:

"Miss, is this used for irrigation?"

"Brother Gu has good eyesight." Gu Yin praised.

As expected of someone who could invent the Luban Lock, he could tell what the waterwheel was used for just by looking at the drawings.

Gu Shu smiled bitterly. He thought he was a great carpenter, but he never thought he could make a waterwheel to solve the problem of rice field irrigation. One can imagine how shocking it would be to the world if this thing was made.
