The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Everyone began to study the drawings, research and discuss the structure of the waterwheel, and discuss how to divide the work.

Gu Yin originally thought that making a waterwheel required the participation of a blacksmith, but later found that only a carpenter was enough. However, since the people were recruited back, they could not be left idle. It happened that the demand for farm tools was high, and Uncle Niu and his men were busy every day, so they were sent to make threshers and curved plows.

After the division of labor, everyone started making wooden piles, making supports, those who were assigned to be responsible for the baffles started planing the boards, and there were also those who were responsible for processing the bamboo tubes.

For the next two days, Gu Yin supervised the work in the workshop. He didn't have to do any work himself. He just checked everyone's work progress and pointed out any areas for improvement.

It must be said that in modern times we have seen a lot more, and even if we don’t know how to do many things, we can still discover problems through observation and then give suggestions for adjustments.

That day, Gu Shu came to Gu Yin with a cane, handed her something, and said calmly:

"Miss, see if this can be of use."

Gu Yin took it and looked at it. It turned out to be a waterwheel model. She was surprised:

"Model waterwheel!"

Then he picked up the model and looked at it carefully, and found that the model was impeccably made. It was a completely scaled-down version of the waterwheel without any parts missing.

"Brother Gu, you are really amazing. From now on, the manufacture of waterwheels will be clear at a glance just by looking at this. It is much more intuitive than looking at a blueprint."

After hearing Gu Yin's praise, Gu Shu smiled slightly and said in a slightly raised voice:

"It would be nice if I could help."

"Brother Gu is very modest, which is a great help."

It is not impossible to make it just by looking at the drawings, but it is not as intuitive and convenient as a model.

Now that we have this good thing, of course we have to make it work to its full potential, so we gathered everyone together immediately. When everyone was present, Gu Yin handed the model to a master craftsman at the front.

"Everyone, take a look at this."

Everyone came forward to check it out, and they were shocked when they saw it. Why had they never thought of making a model first? After being surprised, all kinds of praise came out one after another. Then they looked at Gu Yin with fiery eyes, and it was obvious that they all thought that this was made by Gu Yin.

Gu Yin was almost overwhelmed by the gaze and quickly explained:

"This was made by Brother Gu Shugu, what do you think?"

What else could the crowd say? They naturally responded in unison. Gu Yin took in the crowd's reactions and continued:

"Since everyone thinks this model is good, let's use it as a reference for future waterwheel manufacturing."

"In addition, we have been working together for two days. Now I will announce the two selected persons in charge: Gu Shu as the technical person in charge, and Gu Feng as the person in charge of the construction process."

Gu Feng was the person who tested Gu Yin two days ago. After two days of observation, Gu Yin discovered that this person had extraordinary social skills and he became familiar with other people in just two days.

After Gu Yin finished speaking, Gu Feng raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little surprised, he understood after thinking about it for a while.

Gu Shu suddenly looked up with a look of surprise. Although he thought his skills were acceptable, he had seen too many ups and downs in the world because of his legs. He never thought that Gu Yin would not care about his disabled legs and appoint him as the technical director.

"This is what I selected after two days of observation. If you have any objections, you can raise them. I will consider them as long as they are reasonable."

Naturally, no one objected. After all, everyone had seen the performance of the two over the past two days. One had great skills, not to mention the other. Everyone was familiar with each other.

After the person in charge was decided, Gu Yin asked everyone to go about their work, leaving two persons in charge alone to give instructions:

"Since you two have been chosen as the responsible persons, the following work will be handed over to you two. Gu Feng will be in charge of the entire construction process, and Gu Shu will be in charge of any technical issues."

"I won't be here every day. If there are any issues, you can discuss and decide. If you encounter something you can't handle, you can send someone to the county government to find me."

The two of them heard this and responded respectfully.

After explaining the matter, Gu Yin asked Gu Feng to leave first and left Gu Shu behind. Before Gu Shu could even get nervous, he saw Gu Yin take out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

The young lady has figured out something again, Gu Shu said silently in his heart.

Sure enough, Gu Yin spoke:

"Brother Gu, can you tell me how to make this distillation equipment better?"

"Please take some time to study this recently. If you can delegate other tasks to others, just give them to them and keep a close eye on them."

Gu Shu took the drawing and saw the new things on it. He was no longer as surprised as he was at first. He seemed to have gotten used to Gu Yin taking out something unique from time to time.

"It's not difficult to make a wooden barrel. The main difficulty lies in the sealing of the lid. Think about how to prevent too much water vapor from leaking out during the cooking process."

It stands to reason that stainless steel is the best material for distillation equipment, but unfortunately the Daji Dynasty does not have such advanced technology. Although iron or copper is relatively easy to make, Gu Yin is worried that the metal will produce harmful substances after long-term steaming.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Yin finally chose the conservative material and made it directly from wood. Although using wooden barrels for distillation is prone to water vapor leakage, it is safer. He had to choose the lesser of two evils and did it out of necessity, hoping that the ancient tree could avoid water vapor loss as much as possible.

"You can try." Gu Shu said honestly.

"Okay." Gu Yin didn't force it, after all, it couldn't be forced.

Seeing that there was still time, Gu Yin did not plan to stay in the workshop all the time, and prepared to take Zhenzhu to inspect her own farm.

Who knew that when I passed by a row of wood, I suddenly heard a few exclamations from behind:

"Miss, be careful!"

"careful!"

"careful!"

Gu Yin felt someone push her from behind, and she lost her balance and fell forward, falling flat on her face. Then she heard a muffled groan from behind.

Gu Yin quickly got up, turned around and looked back, only to see a young man lying on the ground, curled up and motionless, with a pool of blood next to him.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yin's mind felt dizzy, as if his soul had left his body. He stood there in a daze, and all the sounds around him seemed to have disappeared.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Zhenzhu shook Gu Yin's arm violently with tears in her eyes. Gu Yin came back to her senses, stared at Zhenzhu in a daze, and asked tremblingly:

"How is he?"

Gu Feng was squatting on the ground. He stretched out his hand to feel the boy's breath and said:

"He's still breathing. We need to rush to the hospital."

He stood up and told the two closest people to immediately find a piece of wood and carry the man to the clinic.

After hearing this, Gu Yin immediately asked people to prepare the carriage, and at the same time silently prayed in her heart that the boy would be fine, otherwise she didn't know how to face it.

A group of people came to the clinic and watched the old doctor in the clinic touching the boy here and looking there, then holding the boy's hand and pulling and pressing. The boy frowned, and several people dared not breathe.

After a while, the old doctor straightened up, and Gu Yin asked quickly:

"Doctor, how is he?"
