Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 125 Waterwheel Completed
"Besides, haven't you heard Lord Song say before that this canal of ours has many uses? Now that water flows through every village, wouldn't it be enough to use the water in these canals to irrigate the fields?"
The aunt who spoke earlier had a frown on her face, but she hadn't completely relaxed: "You also know what the situation is in my family. The children are still young. His father injured his leg while going up the mountain a few days ago, and the fields are about to run out of water again.
Although the water is a little closer, I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to take care of the fields alone.”
"That's true, but don't be too anxious or you'll get bored. If you really can't do it, I'll come to your house to help you after I'm done with my work."
"Will this... be too much trouble for you?"
"Hey! What trouble are you talking about? You two have helped us a lot in the past..."
……
Almost every household is talking about this year's irrigation of the fields.
A few days later, Lu Ruoyu just came back from Wenquan Town. Without even going home, he immediately came to the county government office to find Song Jinshu.
"Where is the master? Can you see him?" He asked, grabbing the gatekeepers Datou and Li Zi.
The two men watched as Lu Ruoyu was so anxious that she was sweating and her lips were dry, so she didn't even have time to drink water.
Li Zi's eyes rolled, and he knew that Lu Ruoyu was looking for Song Jinshu for something urgent, so he said hurriedly: "I saw you heading towards West Street."
Datou also nodded: "My Lord must have known that a new gourmet shop had opened on West Street, so he went to check it out."
Datou learned the term "exploring a store" from Song Jinshu.
He would occasionally visit shops around the county.
Li Zi glanced at Datou unhappily. How could this fool tell everything to others? He was not afraid of giving adults a bad impression.
We must not let County Magistrate Lu misunderstand that you are a greedy person. It would be bad if it hurts the relationship between the two of them.
Therefore, Li Zi hurriedly made amends, "My lord, she must have gone to seek justice because Cao Dutou said there was trouble on West Street."
Li Zi, who thought he was very smart, had just finished speaking when he saw Song Jinshu coming back with a big bag of various snacks.
He had a blank face and didn't dare to look directly into Lu Ruoyu's eyes.
Song Jinshu took a bite of an unknown fruit as she walked. It tasted sour and sweet, just to her taste.
"County Magistrate Lu, you're back! How's things going in Wenquan Town?"
She knew that Lu Ruoyu went to see the waterwheel today. The reason she didn't go was that she thought the day was too hot.
As she asked, she took out a small bag of snacks and shared them with Datou and Lizi. Receiving their grateful looks, she kept her achievements to herself and took Lu Ruoyu back to the front hall.
Lu Ruoyu refused Song Jinshu's offer to feed him, and said with a suppressed smile, "Sir, the water pump is ready, and we can go in the water anytime!"
Song Jinshu patted Lu Ruoyu's shoulder and said soothingly, "Don't worry, the waterwheel has no legs, it can't run away."
"Come and have some! This is delicious!"
Unable to resist Song Jinshu's kind invitation, Lu Ruoyu reluctantly took a fruit.
"When will your Excellency launch the waterwheel?"
This matter is of no trivial importance. Seeing Song Jinshu acting calmly, he always feels uneasy.
Song Jinshu cracked some melon seeds and grumbled, "Don't worry! It won't run away...Okay, okay, let's go tomorrow!"
"By the way, you should call Shen Fenghua as well! He's been working as a miner from time to time lately, it's really outrageous!"
Lu Ruoyu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay! I'll tell him later."
In fact, he was reluctant to take the waterwheel with him before it was confirmed that it was useful. After all, this person was from the Dark Cabinet. If he knew about it, it would be equivalent to the emperor knowing about it.
Waterwheels benefit the people and the country, so it would be interesting if Song Jinshu personally wrote a letter to report on it.
It can also add to the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
A day later, Song Jinshu and the other two came directly to Guantian.
Last night, Lu Ruoyu was afraid of having nightmares late at night, so he asked someone to ship the water truck to a farm near Guantian overnight.
Guantian is located in a very advantageous location and is the best land in the entire Jingyang County.
At first glance, all you see is lush green rice, but the rice grains are very sparse.
A single rice plant only produces a few grains, which is a world of difference compared to hybrid rice.
Song Jinshu silently thanked Grandpa Yuan in his heart. If it weren't for him, the people would have been in who knows what kind of dire straits they would have been in.
An old man and a thin boy hurriedly came over from the village.
Looking at Ma Dajia walking so fast, Song Jinshu was really afraid that he would accidentally slip and fall into the edge of the field.
Fortunately, he arrived in front of her safely.
"Master Song, you are here! We are ready and waiting for your orders!"
Ma Dajia puffed out his chest, his face full of pride and honor.
If the waterwheel works successfully, his name will surely be known throughout the country! No! The world!
Song Jinshu nodded to Lu Ruoyu and Shen Fenghua, motioning them to follow.
Shen Fenghua fell behind by one step and was overtaken by Lu Ruoyu.
He curled his lips and said, what's there to argue about!
When Zhuangzi arrived at the stream near the fields, the waterwheel was placed on the open space.
Seeing the familiar object, Song Jinshu was overjoyed. She walked forward and touched the waterwheel everywhere to make sure it was the one she remembered.
"Very good! Master Ma, you have done a great job on this matter. When I report this to the Emperor, I will definitely record your contribution."
Mr. Ma was terrified. No matter how proud he was, he dared not take credit for the achievement.
"This waterwheel was designed by you, sir. I am just a carpenter. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to build it because you valued me. I don't deserve this credit."
Song Jinshu was in a good mood, but she also knew that this was not something she could do alone.
There were some small details that were not fully explained in the drawings she gave me at the time. These were all researched by Master Ma and his apprentices themselves.
Naturally, he contributed a lot to the construction of this waterwheel.
"Master Ma, there's no need to be so modest. Your craftsmanship is evident to everyone. If it weren't for your ingenuity, we might not even be able to build this waterwheel!"
Everyone present praised Mr. Ma, and of course, they praised Song Jinshu even more.
The auspicious time arrived, and thanks to their efforts, the waterwheel landed at the position specified in Song Jinshu.
After the water truck was fixed, she pulled Shen Fenghua to sit on the cushion on the pedal on the other side of her.
"Just watch me and do what I do, okay?"
Shen Fenghua had been confused since they were playing charades just now, and she was still confused now.
When he saw the waterwheel, he could only sigh, "What a skilled craftsman, but he didn't know what it was used for."
While I was thinking about it, Song Jinshu pulled me to work.
Shen Fenghua nodded: "It's not difficult, just do it."
Upon hearing this, Song Jinshu stepped on the pedals and pedaled as fast as riding a bicycle.
Seeing this, Shen Fenghua was not idle either, and stepped quickly to her rhythm.
The next second, the water flow from the lower part is scraped along the scraper and is lifted up step by step after the water bucket is filled with water.
When the water bucket reaches the top, the water is instantly injected into the aqueduct and flows into the farmland that needs irrigation.
Those who witnessed this scene opened their mouths wide in disbelief.
