I traveled through time and became an unmarried mother-to-be, others are farming and I am enjoying t

Xiao Jing looked at Lou Xingyun, "Do you also think Madam is unusual?"

Lou Xingyun grinned, "Of course, Madam is very resourceful. Such a woman is definitely unusual!" Looking at Xiao Jing, "Don't you like this Madam?"

The corners of Xiao Jing's mouth rose, "That's not true, I just think Madam is a bit weirdly smart!"

I think he was born and raised in the capital, and he was well-informed about the news in the capital. However, after living for more than twenty years, he never knew that there was such an intelligent woman like Yuan Chuyi in the capital.

She is hidden in everyone's backyard, but she can make yuba that others have never done, grow crops that others have never planted, know how to dig wells in advance to fight drought, store water for irrigating the fields, and use bamboo pipes to divert water, which is even more surprising. Yes, she had learned medical skills and refined elixirs, and she was also inspired by elixirs. She knew that saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal mixed in a certain proportion and ignited could blast the mountain flat and open a road. This is something that even he, a grown man leading troops in war, doesn’t know!

"Weird?" Lou Xingyun disagreed, "What's weird?" He didn't think there was anything weird at all, "I'm worrying too much! I think Madam just reads a lot and is well-informed. How weird!”

Xiao Jing smiled and felt relieved. Lou Xingyun's words made him dispel his doubts. Maybe Yuan Chuyi likes reading and is good at thinking about problems, which makes her different from other women in the boudoir.

"Then you can continue your work with everyone. I'll go back to accompany my wife and children!" Xiao Jing thought that he wanted to see her on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, so he immediately went down the mountain and went home.

Lou Xingyun saw that it was already getting late, so he hurriedly led the enthusiastic villagers to move away the broken stones.

When the villagers saw that the three hills were exploded in an instant, they immediately saw the hope of water diversion. Everyone became active and worked harder.

By the time everyone had moved the stones and cleared a path for the pipe to pass through, a red sun was already hanging over the mountain. Lou Xingyun hurriedly took everyone down the mountain, fearing that the wolves and other beasts in the mountain would come out.

"Master Lou, can we get the water connected tomorrow?" Zhang Yongfu asked happily while leading the villagers to follow Lou Xingyun and others out of the mountain.

"If the water pool at the bottom of the mountain is cleaned up, we can finish it tomorrow."

The villagers were divided into two groups. Most of them went into the mountain to dig trenches and bury water pipes, while some stayed outside the mountain to clean a large stone pool at the foot of the mountain to use as a reservoir.

The stone pool originally had mountain spring water flowing out and collecting there to form a pool, but no one usually uses it and no one takes care of it. Now there is no water there, leaving only mountain mud and long-dried moss.

The pipes in the mountains will be laid in one day tomorrow. If the reservoirs are also cleaned, the water can be connected and directed to the outside of the mountains tomorrow.

"The well water in our village bottomed out yesterday, and I don't know if it will come out today!" someone in Yuanjiawan said worriedly.

"There are only two deep wells in our village that still have some water." People from Liujia Village also said, with anxiety in their voices.

They all regret it now. If they had dug the well deeper, maybe they wouldn't have to be in such a hurry now.

When everyone was leaving the mountain, a carriage hurried towards Xishan Village at the foot of the mountain, and finally stopped at the door of Xiao's house. Mr. He got out of the car.

In the house, Xiao Jing, who was teasing the child, heard Xuanfeng coming to report, so he went out to meet the guests with the child in his arms.

After some pleasantries, He Yutang got straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty, the water supply in the city is also about to be cut off. I heard that a water source has been found in Xishan Village. I would like to ask if the residents in the city can also come here to help." Can the water be returned for emergency treatment?"

Xiao Jing wanted to agree to them, but after all, villagers from three villages worked together to dig ditches and bury pipes to divert the water, so he had to ask for their opinions first.

"Didn't you say last time that several water conservancy officials in the yamen went looking for water sources? Did they find them?" he asked.

"We have found several places, but they are all in the mountains. There are many rocks and hills blocking the way, so there is no way to divert water out!" He Yutang's tone was full of helplessness.

Xiao Jingxiao, now he has mastered the technique of using gunpowder to blow up mountains, "As long as the water sources are not too far away from the village, we are sure to lead the water out, and the mountains we encounter are all small hills, I have a way for everyone. Explode!"

Xiao Jing realized that the power of gunpowder was huge. Except for a few close friends, he did not want to spread the word about this thing. If everyone knew how to use this gunpowder, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world?

He thought that he would have to control the saltpeter, sulfur and other substances in the future.

When He Yutang saw that Xiao Jing was willing to help, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Do you really mean what you said, Your Majesty?"

"When did I deceive you, Lord He! Tomorrow I will take people with them into the mountains to bring you water." Xiao Jing said, looking at his son who was looking around curiously with his big eyes, "Then tomorrow, dad I’m about to go out and be busy, so I can’t stay with the baby!”

He Yutang bowed deeply to Xiao Jing and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"No matter what, it's all for the people."

Xiao Jing knew what was important now, and he believed that he would not let him out on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. Sure enough, he told Yuan Chu Yi about this during dinner that night, and Yuan Chu Yi immediately agreed.

"You go and do what you should do. I will arrange things at home and take care of the children. You don't have to worry." Yuan Chuyi said.

Xiao Jing still felt a little guilty, "Thank you for your hard work. You are still in confinement. You should have stayed at home to take good care of you and your children, but now you are asked to take care of yourself and your children!"

"The overall situation is the most important thing, I understand this." Yuan Chuyi is not a sensible person, and besides, she is not a clingy person. Although she was living very comfortably under Xiao Jing's care these days, she was not yet at the point where she couldn't live without him.

Xiao Jing took the five Lou Xingyun brothers out to work the next day, leaving Xuan Yue and the others to take care of things in the mountains, while Yun Duo and the others took care of the house.

At noon, all the pipes in the mountain were laid. Xuan Yue connected the last section of the pipe connecting the lake, and the water immediately flowed out of the mountain along the pipe.

"Lord Xuan Yue, there are several pipes leaking along the way!"

After the water was connected, the villagers discovered problems when inspecting management. The trenches for laying water pipes have not yet been filled in. The purpose is to check for leaks after the water is turned on so that the pipes can be replaced. The pipes are connected by inserting a small bamboo pipe into a large bamboo pipe, and the joints are glued with glutinous rice. However, leaks are still found, which makes the villagers anxious.

On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, when Xuanfeng came back and said there was a water leakage, he thought for a while and said, "Let the water stop in the mountains first, buy a few buckets of paint, and paint all the joints of the pipes with a layer of paint. Wait for the paint to dry before reconnecting." water."

As soon as Li Dazhu heard that paint was going to be used, he immediately went home and took out the two barrels he still had at home. He is a carpenter and often used paint, so he still has two small buckets at home.

He painted all the leaking areas first, and then painted the non-leaking areas if there was any leftover.

In the evening, when all the paint was dry, Xuan Yue connected the water source again. This time, the water in the pipe flowed smoothly and flowed into the cleared stone pit at the foot of the mountain. There was no more water on the road. Where the water is leaking.

"There is water to drink!" the villagers cheered. They no longer have to worry about water for at least two or three months.
