I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Looking at Li Hongwu's back, although none of them understood what a "water hammer pump" was, seeing his proud expression, they knew that it must be a good thing.

"Old man Li, it's not very kind of you to ask us to come and see it now." said the village chief Wang who followed.

The village chiefs of the other two villages also stared at him with resentment.

"Ha, ha." Li Hongwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he touched his nose, then laughed, "I have to have some results before I can call you old friends to come and see, right? Otherwise, if I call you here and nothing works out, wouldn't that mean all our efforts are in vain?"

After they thought about it, they felt that there was something wrong with what he said.

When the few people walked to the well, they saw a strange round wooden barrel next to the well. An L-shaped bamboo pipe was connected to the deep part of the well. A steady stream of water flowed from the bamboo pipe one-third of the way up from the bottom of the barrel into the canal below.

At this moment, they looked at each other in amazement and shock.

Li Hongwu and Li Lan looked at the expressions of several people and exchanged glances. Although they said nothing, they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

"Girl Lan, is this something you came up with?" Village Chief Wang suddenly turned around, stared at Li Lan and said excitedly.

After hearing what he said, the other two quickly turned around and looked at her eagerly.

Li Lan stared at the burning eyes of the old men in front of him, who were over 160 years old in total. He was stunned for a few seconds, coughed lightly, and smiled, "It's me."

The few people who had just calmed down were shocked again by Li Lan's next words.

"I've been studying how to get water from streams and rivers to farmland recently, and now I've made some progress." She looked at them, her eyes twinkling slightly, and said with a smile.

When these words came out, even Li Hongwu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes. Feeling the gaze coming from the side, Li Lan turned her head and winked at him mischievously.

"Oh, girl Lan. Look, your village chief and I have been brothers for decades. If you have any good things, you have to think about our village first." Village chief Liu, who was the first to react, hurriedly stepped forward and tried to establish a relationship with me.

The other two reacted and hurried forward, cursing inwardly: "This old man has no moral principles."

"Girl Lan, your village chief and I have been brothers for decades, and your grandmother and your aunt's family are both from our village." Village Chief Wang raised his eyebrows at Village Chief Liu and said unwillingly.

Village Chief Chen, seeing that they were all trying to establish connections, thought for a moment and quickly said, "Lady Lan, your third aunt's family is from our village."

After saying this, his heart was pounding. Everyone knew that Chen Ruyi's family doted on their son and loved to ask for money. But seeing that the other two were also trying to gain connections, if he didn't say something, wouldn't he even get nothing?

If Village Chief Chen knew that Chen Ruyi wanted to tell her nephew about Li Lan, he would probably rather not drink the soup than say what he just said.

Li Lan looked at them vying to express their opinions and said with a smile: "Dear village heads, don't worry, we are all neighbors, and of course I have to tell you if there is good news. But,"

She smiled and looked at the group, seeing them all relieved and smiling. Then she put away her smile, looked serious, and continued, "I have a bad story that concerns our village. Would you like to listen to it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles of several people froze and they were all shocked. They thought to themselves: Poor old bones, his heart has been up and down all day, so exciting.

Several people swallowed their saliva. Village Chief Wang took a deep breath and looked at Li Lan and said, "You say, Lan girl."

She gave them a deep look and said sternly, "I walked around our village today and felt the soil was slightly moist. I predict that it will rain heavily in the next few days."

"What? It's going to rain, is that true, girl Lan?" Village chief Chen clenched his hands and said excitedly.

The other two also stared at Li Lan expectantly. When she nodded, they were so excited that they almost jumped up and hugged each other.

"But village heads, have you heard this saying? A severe drought will be followed by a severe disaster." Li Lan sighed softly and said reluctantly.

She was really afraid that the stimulation would be too much and the old men's hearts would not be able to bear it.

Li Hongwu looked at his old friends who were standing there in a daze, with the smiles still on their faces, and felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but sigh: When will this end?

After a while.

"Miss Lan, then tell me, what should we do? We in Wangjia Village will listen to your arrangements." Village chief Wang gritted his teeth, looked at Li Lan, and said seriously.

For some reason, he believed that this girl would definitely help them and save them. He didn't want to and was unwilling to take the villagers of Wangjia Village away from their hometown.

When Li Lan heard the statement made by Village Chief Wang, he looked at him with admiration and thought to himself: This old man has good vision and courage.

The other two were shocked when they heard what Village Chief Wang said, but then they gritted their teeth and said, "We in Chenjia Village will also follow Lan Yatou's orders."

"We in Liujiawan will also follow Lan Yatou's arrangements."

Li Hongwu was stunned, thinking to himself: So fast? He hasn't even shown his skills yet?

Li Lan looked at the respectful and sincere old men in front of him. He sang loudly, "Hello!"

Several people walked to Li Hongwu's house together and sat down in the main hall one by one.

Li Lan spread out the map on the table. When they saw such a detailed map on the table, they were shocked and speechless. At the same time, they felt relieved and thought that their impulsive statement was right.

"Village heads, please look at the location of your village, as well as the nearby mountains and rivers. Then each of you can tell us what is the most likely problem for each village if a flood occurs this time? Is it the river, the mountain, the farmland, or the house?" Li Lan pointed to the map on the table and said to several people.

After hearing her words, several people began to carefully examine the terrain of their own villages and analyze which aspects would cause serious consequences after heavy rain.

A long time passed.

"Then let me speak first. In our Lijia Village, if heavy rainfall continues, the mountain will slide, and the farmland and houses at the foot of the mountain will be destroyed. Also, our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. If the heavy rainfall continues and the rainwater is not drained out in time, our entire village will be flooded." After Li Hongwu finished speaking, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back. He looked panicked and anxious, and quickly turned to look at Li Lan.

I was also thankful in my heart: Fortunately, there is Lan girl. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone in this village have to wait for death?

When the other three heard Li Hongwu's analysis, they looked at each other in shock.

Village Chief Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Our Wangjia Village is surrounded by mountains on two sides and a three-meter-wide stream. If the heavy rain continues, the farmland and houses below the mountain will be destroyed. The reasons include: landslides and large amounts of stream water overflowing."

"The situation in our village is the same as that of Old Man Wang and his group." Village Chief Chen whispered.

Village Chief Liu was now more anxious than any of them. His voice trembled as he spoke, "Our village is not only surrounded by mountains on two sides, but also located at the bend of the Chu River. If the heavy rain continues, our entire village will be flooded."

After this analysis, several people sat dejectedly on the stools, sighing and looking confused.

Li Lan looked at the dejected faces of the few people and said softly, "Do you want to hear my solution?"
