Parents are busy farming

Magistrate Su County heard from Ye Yongrui that he wanted to dig the wasteland between the two counties into a reservoir.

At first he thought he had heard it wrong, but then he asked again and was shocked when he got the answer in the affirmative.

But the shock was only momentary. If you think about it carefully, there is nothing shocking.

The person in front of her was none other than Zi Zifen's second uncle, and the magistrate of Feng County was Zi Zifen's brother-in-law. If she could give the county some ideas, she would definitely help them come up with the same ideas.

"The idea of ​​a reservoir is a very good one, but digging that piece of wasteland into a reservoir is not a matter of words. It requires a lot of manpower and will take some time to complete. Are you sure you can afford to wait? ? You don’t have to worry on our side, it’s very close to the ditch we’ve dug. As long as you finish digging the reservoir, we can mobilize manpower and dig it out in one day!”

Ye Yongrui finally felt relieved when he heard what Magistrate Su said. As long as Magistrate Su didn't stop them, they would have hope.

In fact, this was because Ye Yongrui and Zhang Chengye were overthinking it. How could Su Jincheng, who was also the county magistrate, watch the people of Feng County suffer? If there is a drought in the future, the people of Feng County will come to them first if they are affected by the disaster. The influx of victims is not a good sign.

Therefore, he was willing to help them before they were affected by the disaster, even if it meant wasting some labor and money in the past few days.

So when digging ditches in the county, he first selected the ditch that was closer to Feng County and arranged for manpower to dig there.

"Thank you Magistrate Su for your support. As for digging the reservoir, Magistrate Su doesn't have to worry. We in Feng County will concentrate all our strong labor force to dig out the reservoir first. Once the reservoir is dug, the two counties All can be used.”

Magistrate Su was even more satisfied after hearing this. As for when the reservoir could be dug, it was no longer his concern. Since Feng County had taken over this matter, he could only wait quietly.

"I heard that the county has installed a lot of windmills on major ditches. I don't know if there are any extra windmills. You also know that our Feng County is far away from the canal, and the water source is not abundant at this time. If we concentrate the labor force again, On digging the reservoir, then... I wonder if Mr. Su can do it?"

County Magistrate Su laughed unkindly when he heard this. He just said, how could Zhang Chengye be willing to suffer a loss? The reservoir between the two counties was dug by his county. It turned out that there was a demand. Can he refuse? ?

Not to mention that Zhang Chengye had been working as a historian in the county before, and he had a very good relationship with the existing officials in the county. Let’s just say that most of the credit for the development and production of these windmills lies with Zi Zifen. Based on the relationship between the man in front of him and Zi Zifen, he has to agree to anything.

But...

"Zifen wants to build a workshop just to make these windmills, but there are not enough useful talents now. I would also like to ask you to go back to Feng County to see if you can help Zifen find more people with strong technical ability. Come here. If you have people, we can make windmills faster. When the reservoir is dug, we might be able to send a batch of windmills there."

Hearing what Magistrate Su said, Ye Yongrui thought of what Xiao Wu had begged him to do last night, and the two of them talked about the same thing.

It can also be seen from this incident that Magistrate Su is very fond of Zi Zifen, and he even opened his mouth to him about Xiaowu Yatou's workshop.

"Don't worry, Magistrate Su. I will find someone immediately after I return. Once the person is found, I will personally send him over."

So far, Magistrate Su has no other requests.

After the two important matters were discussed, Ye Yongrui could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He did not expect that the matter could be discussed so easily.

He could only imagine how much favor Ye Zifen had in it.

The two of them sat there with nothing else to do, and Ye Yongrui said goodbye.

Magistrate Su didn't keep him much longer. After all, he was in the county government office and he had other things to do.

Ye Yongrui left the county government office, originally thinking of finding Ye Zifen, but considering how busy this girl was, he probably would only delay her if he went there, so he decided to walk back to Lujiacun by himself.

He is going back to Fengxian County tomorrow, and he wants to spend the rest of his time with his family. It's not easy for them to reunite as a couple!

It is said that Ye Zifen went to Fuke Lai after leaving the county government office. Specifically, he entered the shipbuilding workshop next to Fuke Lai.

When she arrived, she happened to see it. Chen Lixing and Chen Xinyang, father and son, were busy there, with Mr. Mo directing them from the side.

On the other side, Ma Fengchun was also constantly tapping the iron objects in his hands.

They were so focused that no one noticed Ye Zifen's arrival.

It wasn't until Ye Zifen walked next to Teacher Mo that he realized there was an extra person around.

But he quickly pulled Ye Zifen and walked to the side. It wasn't until he was far away that he smiled and said to her: "Where did you find these two people? You can actually find such talents! Don't talk about that. The big one, even the little kid, is very capable with his hands. I just told him my general idea and use, and the little guy was able to make the finished product for me."

Looking at Teacher Mo who was talking excitedly, there was a sharp contrast with the frown on his face the last time he came.

"It seems that you are very satisfied with the two of them." Ye Zifen asked knowingly.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. To be honest, I am more satisfied than the three wooden lumps in my house!"

Hearing such words from Mr. Mo's mouth was obviously a high compliment to the father and son.

Even Ma Fengchun has never received such a high evaluation.

Just as the two people were talking, Ma Fengchun also came over, and happened to hear Mr. Mo's evaluation of the two people. He also said: "The father and son not only have unique insights into carpentry, but they are also better than my family in blacksmithing." Those brats are so strong!"

Look! Another person said this.

But Ma Fengchun didn't finish his sentence, and then he added: "Their brains are as good as that of Gao Yi."

After hearing this, Mr. Mo curled his lips. He didn't think Zhang Gaoyi could compare with these two people.

But who made Zhang Gaoyi have a strong relationship with the two people in front of him? It was hard for him to pour cold water on them.

"Zhang Gaoyi should not be as good as the two of them. His mind is filled with too many other things and responsibilities. He is not as pure as the two of them, so he is definitely not as good as the two of them in these things."

What Zi Zifen said hit the nail on the head, which made Ma Fengchun feel a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that what Zi Zifen said was the truth.

Finally, he hummed and muttered, "Little girl who doesn't know who is far away and who is near."

He shook his head as he spoke, and then left without seeing anything.
