I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"Chen Chuan, go and get that blueprint from my room."

Zhang Chenchuan wanted to play at first, but when he heard Zhu Qiuqi's voice, he hurriedly took his place.

"Mother is talking about the blueprint of the wheel?"

Zhang Chenchuan saw Zhu Qiuqi draw a big wheel with homemade charcoal before, but he didn't see what it was.

Even Zhang Siyuan didn't seem to know what it was...

"That's the one, don't tear it up, and show it to Grandpa Lizheng."

Zhang Chenchuan's curiosity about the waterwheel was also beyond Zhu Qiuqi's expectation. Thinking that the child went to look at the blueprint whenever he had something to do, Zhu Qiuqi was also very helpless.

Worried that he would tear up the blueprint in agitation, then her efforts for the past few days would be in vain.

Zhang Siyuan on the side heard the words, but his eyes flashed.

"The thing drawn on that blueprint is the waterwheel you mentioned?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "With a water truck, the entire field of Xiaozhangzhuang can be irrigated."

Although everyone knew that Zhu Qiuqi was capable, some people couldn't help but ask her what she said now.

"Qiuqi, what kind of 'waterwheel' is this that can irrigate all the fields in our Xiaozhangzhuang?"

This is obviously unbelievable. After all, when everyone waters the fields on weekdays, it takes a long time to fully irrigate the fields with water.

Now Zhu Qiuqi said that they could finish the laborious farm work they used to do with only a water truck, no one would believe it.

Even Li Zheng had a little suspicion in his eyes at this moment.

"Qiuqi..."

Zhu Qiuqi knew what Li was going to say, but she was really not good at defending these people.

Seeing Zhang Chenchuan coming out, he hurriedly pulled the eldest son over.

"Show the blueprint to Grandpa Lizheng."

Li Zheng dubiously opened the blueprint, saw the wooden wheel inside which was bigger than two rooms, couldn't help frowning.

"Qiu Qi, with this wheel, we should be able to water the crops for us?"

The rest of the people also came to Li Zheng's side, and when they saw the things on the blueprint, Wu Day did not frown in disbelief.

Zhu Qiuqi pointed to the canal under the waterwheel to show everyone.

"Uncle Li Zheng, look at what this is."

Li Zheng didn't know, so he said, "Isn't this our aqueduct?"

"Where does the water in this canal come from?"

Zhu Qiuqi asked again, and Lizheng became even more confused.

"The water in our canal comes from the undercurrent..."

Before Lizheng finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the waterwheel on Zhu Qiuqi's drawing.

"Qiu Qi, what do you mean...plan to use the power of the water to drive this waterwheel?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, pointing to some wooden barrels on the waterwheel and some things that looked like gears.

"The power of the undercurrent is too small. We have to let people step on this board here to make the water flow faster, so that buckets of water can be poured into the fields over there. At that time, the fields of every household will be given A small ditch is dug in front so that the water can flow in."

The biggest reason why the fields next to the mountain in Xiaozhangzhuang cannot be watered is that the other side is backed by the mountain.

This is really opposite to the direction of the undercurrent. If you want to irrigate the place there, you really need to use some external force.

Li Li was listening to Zhu Qiuqi's explanation, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and the hand holding the blueprint was trembling slightly.

Some people who understand this matter are also very happy, and those who have only a half-knowledge don't know how the waterwheel waters, but they can also hear that as long as there is this waterwheel, everyone really doesn't need another bucket. Buckets of water were taken from the ditch to the fields.

"Uncle Lizheng, this waterwheel is not easy to make. We must let someone who knows woodwork do it. Otherwise, if there is something wrong with it, the whole waterwheel will be ruined."

Zhu Qiuqi didn't want the waterwheel to fall apart before it was used.

Thinking of that situation, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help the toothache.

Worried that Lizheng didn't pay attention to this point, and even made a special warning.

Lizheng really didn't take this matter seriously at first, after all, everyone in Xiaozhangzhuang could come to help, and he was happy that everyone could do it together.

Now hearing Zhu Qiuqi's sudden order, Li Zheng raised his head.

"Qiu Qi, there are a lot of people who can do things in our village..."

Li Zheng wanted to say that there are many people who can do things, so there is no need to find those who can do woodwork.

Moreover, such a large waterwheel needs to be made two at a time. Lizheng just wanted to make the waterwheel as soon as possible.

However, facing Zhu Qiuqi's serious expression, Lizheng was at a loss for words for a while.

"Uncle Lizheng, you have seen it too. Our waterwheel is not small. Once the waterwheel is erected, we will not be able to hide the undercurrent in Xiaozhangzhuang."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but panic.

"Qiuqi, what... what should we do? We haven't finished watering the fields in Xiaozhang Village. At this time, those people have discovered the undercurrent. We won't be able to protect it."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"So I thought that when we set up the water truck, Uncle Lizheng would go to the government to report the matter. When those landlords came, and when people from ten miles and eight villages came, the officials of the county government would also Here we come."

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, there are officials guarding our Xiaozhangzhuang, not to mention those landlords who are scary, even people from our ten miles and eight villages may not dare to do it."

But those who waited for the crops to be watered before, now they have a sad look on their faces.

"Qiu Qi, the people from the government are here, can we no longer use the undercurrent water? But... but our fields haven't been watered yet..."

The speaker, Zhu Qiuqi, knew her. There was a lame mother-in-law at home.

The husband is still weak and sick, but fortunately, the family is kind-hearted and has not changed their minds because of this difficult life.

Zhu Qiuqi was still discussing with the old lady of the Zhang family to find the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to work at home.

It was only later that the matter was delayed for some time because of the canal, which delayed the matter.

Seeing the distress on the woman's face now, Zhu Qiuqi took her arm to comfort her.

"Sister-in-law Liu Yun, don't worry about this matter. I assure you, even if people from the government come, we can help you water the fields over there."

Some people saw that it was Liu Yun who spoke, and they also responded one after another.

"Qiu Qi is right. We villagers will help you with your work together. After all, the crops in the field will not be dried up."

When everyone heard the words, they also nodded.

"That's right. We need to water the fields in Xiaozhang Village. With Qiuqi's water truck, we can finish watering the fields over there in half a day."
