Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Li Dong brought many people to drive an ox cart with a larger water wheel on it, and the eunuch chief shouted. "Hold on tight, be careful." Li Dong said, "Master Chief, don't worry. This car is made very sturdily. It's just an improved version." "Okay, okay, I like to hear you say that." "Xiaodong, how are these people from the Ministry of Works doing? Can they build a waterwheel independently?" Li Dong: "Let them make the next one by themselves, and then take it to the capital, and you can leave." "Okay, okay, it's time to go back, we still have to serve the emperor!" "Don't worry, Master, I will watch it myself, and there will be no mistakes in every process. Let them take away the design drawings." "Okay! I will definitely say good things about you to the emperor when I go back." "Thank you very much, Master, but I just want to do the work at home. Country people have never left the house, so they just want to stay at home. I can make the finished products and sell them outside." The chief eunuch thought about it and felt that this was also possible. He had lived here for some time and saw that the people here had good customs and worked hard. He had never even heard the women swear. Adults and children were all sensible, and anyone who saw him would smile and say, "Hello, sir." He felt incredibly happy. People treated him so well. Everyone respected each other here, and no one even scolded or beat the girls. Everyone was in high spirits. He was thinking of retiring here. He often wandered around the village, and he couldn't praise it enough. "Let's go. We're here. Stop, everyone." "Brother Li Dong, you take charge and install." "Everyone, keep an eye on it. Once we build the next one, we'll bring it back to the capital, and you can assemble and install it yourselves. Keep your eyes open." Those from the Ministry of Works, in particular, were incredibly worried. They feared they wouldn't learn the ropes and would lose their heads. Not being able to return was a minor issue, but failing to learn was unacceptable. The Emperor's mission had to be completed perfectly. Li Dong directed the men who were moving rocks and laying the waterwheel's legs. Sun Gui ran over and, seeing the installation location was in the middle of the river and deeper, said, "Move a few more large bluestones to lay the legs." Li Dong adjusted the flow and depth. He drove wooden stakes into the connection to the bank's trough, sealing the gaps with these scraps of wood. He secured it with hemp rope. The waterwheel was installed, and the trough was placed on the bank. The waterwheel slowly turned under the impact of the water, turning faster and faster. The water pumped the water, and the water scoop extended its entire body, like a hedgehog. The more water it carried to a higher altitude, the more water flowed into the trough, and the more water flowed to the bank, creating a gurgling sound. "It's a success," the old eunuch shouted. "It's a success! We personally oversaw this. I'll have to tell the Emperor about it when I get back!" A few people in the Ministry of Works had only learned a few steps and couldn't build it independently, but they could work together. They should just build one and try it out. The cheers from the riverbank were deafening, and the people cheered at their success. "Okay." "Okay!" hao!.......

Sun Gui said, "First, remove the last gutter, build the canal, then build this one." Someone went to work. The road couldn't be flooded. "Everyone, hurry up. Harvest this season before planting the next." "We have a new variety, the yellow flour in the yellow-flour steamed buns—that's corn flour. We have corn seeds. Go to the school tonight to buy seeds. Even if you don't have money, every household can afford a few hundred coins. Five pounds of seeds for a few coins per acre. Anyone can buy as much as they want. Don't buy too much, or you won't have enough." "Get to work." In their village, Sun Gui's words spread from one person to two, two to four, and soon the whole village knew. Good news spread quickly. Soybean farmers weren't doing well either. Whatever you planted, they'd plant the same thing. Even the flower beds along the road were planted the same. Every household had a grapevine in front of their door.

"Let's go, let's go to work." Sun Gui said and left, anxious to find his second uncle. He went home, hitched the ox cart and drove to Chai's house. He found Chai Zhen and said, "Second uncle, do you still have corn seeds? I told the villagers to come to the school tonight to buy corn seeds. After this season's harvest, it's time to plant the next season." "Okay, let's go home." Sun Gui drove the ox cart into Chai's house. Chai Zhen picked up Guoguo and said, "Guoguo, do you still have corn seeds?" "Yes, Great Grandpa." "Can everyone in our village grow them?" "Yes, Grandpa, I'm going to let everyone in the village grow them." "Grandpa Gui is here to take them." "Great Grandpa, go home and carry me to our warehouse." "Okay." Chai Zhen hurried home holding the little milk bag. "Great Grandpa, don't be in a hurry, you walk slowly." Hey! "Great Grandpa, don't be in a hurry." "Sell it cheaply, just a few cents will be fine, I don't want to make money from the village." The little milk bag said. "Okay, Grandpa, I'll listen to you."

Chai Zhen opened the warehouse door and walked in. With a wave of his hand, little Naibao summoned a pile of sacks into the corner. "That's enough," Sun Gui parked the carriage and found two sticks to prop up the carriage's legs. Arriving at the warehouse door, he said, "No, Second Uncle." "One of those big sacks in the corner." He grabbed one and tried to carry it. "Haha, I can't carry it! This one weighs nearly 200 pounds." "Grandpa, this one weighs 180 pounds." "Put me down, we'll find someone to carry it." Little Naibao ran to the east wall and yelled, "Daddy, Third Uncle, come home!" At that cry, the fourth brother and Jiale ran home. "My daughter has a really loud voice!" "It's loud!" Hahahaha! ...

Fourth brother Jiale, help load the truck, that's all. Chai Zhen took the rope and tied it up. He said, "Fourth brother Jiale, take it to the school." Sun Gui: "Second uncle, how much is one catty? What do you think?" "Eight cents is okay?" "Sure." "Okay, I'll sell it at eight cents a catty." "Grandpa Sun," the little kid called. "Sun Gui" "Hey, Guoguo, what do you want to talk to Grandpa about?" "Grandpa has a big piece of land, but it's too big. Tell my great-grandfather. My family is helping to plow the land, but it can't be for free. You have to send us fodder for the cows." "Good, good, okay, Grandpa Sun will tell everyone." "Guoguo, when Grandpa Sun leaves, I'll give it to you to play with." "Hey." "Great-grandfather is leaving, go to Grandpa's house to find Uncle Dong." "No, the wood is not hard enough." "What do you want to do, Guoguo? "A rice thresher is a rice sheller." "Grandpa, let's go to the county town and ask the blacksmith if they can make one. It's very simple." "Can you make it tomorrow, Guoguo?" "Sure. There's still time." "I'll go home and draw the blueprints." Chai Zhen carried the little baby to his room, where Guoguo was studying. He and Xiaodong would study at this table in the evening.

Chai Zhen closed the door and came out, shaking his head, he was living a fulfilling life. The corners of his mouth curled up! The ancestors brought blessings to the younger generation. Chai Zhen went to the east yard, it was time to feed the cows, there was not much grass, he had to go to cut grass in the afternoon. He turned to the warehouse, picked up a bag of soybeans, and went to the east yard. He scattered soybeans in the trough, there were quite a lot of soybeans in this row, half of the bag was gone after he scattered them, so he picked up the grass one by one. Chai Zhen sat down to rest, took off the water bottle at his waist and took a few sips. "It's so sweet, Guoguo gave him some candy." He smoked a pack of cigarettes, no, it was a cigarette, Guoguo gave it to him. "Cigarettes are good to smoke too."
