Chapter 148 The Dandy Prince's Angry Concubine 8

"Oh my, it hasn't rained for almost two months this year. If it doesn't rain again, the crops in the fields will dry up!"

"God is blind. He is killing us ordinary people!"

On the way back, Lin Wanwan heard some villagers talking about the lack of rain this year.

Only then did she remember that the original owner did know about this before entering the city.

Less rain means that the crops cannot get moisture, which means that they will produce fewer seeds.

The consequence of this is that the people will not be able to harvest enough food, and the days ahead will be very difficult.

"Wife, although there has been little rain recently, there is still a lot of water in the river. Why don't the people go to the river to fetch water to irrigate the fields?"

Bai Feng had lived in the palace since he was a child and had no idea of ​​the sufferings of the common people.

Before getting married, he had just gone swimming in the lake with a few brothers, and the amount of water was quite large.

"My husband, you don't know this!"

"Have you seen the bucket we use to carry water? How much water can that small bucket hold? It can only irrigate a small area of ​​land like this."

Lin Wanwan gestured to a small area.

"If the crops are not watered thoroughly, it will be almost the same as if they were not watered at all."

"Just think about it. There are so many crops in the field. How many trips would it take to irrigate the crops thoroughly with just a little water?"

She pointed to the farmlands at the foot of the mountain, which were green with a hint of yellow.

"How much land can be irrigated in a day? It's not that people are lazy and don't want to carry water to irrigate the land, but this method can only barely produce a small harvest and does not solve the fundamental problem at all."

"That's not even counting the distance between the crops and the river, and the time it takes to get there and back."

Lin Wanwan thought to herself, what ways can she use to improve people's lives?

The uncles also had a lot of land, and the original owner was also very worried about this matter.

Even though their family had many people and everyone went out to fetch water, they could only irrigate one or two acres of land, leaving more than ten acres of crops suffering from drought.

"My husband, do you want to help the people solve this problem?"

The capital city just lacks rain, not water. At least there is still plenty of water in the rivers.

As for the ditches in the corners, they were indeed dry.

Lin Wanwan thought that the reason why Qingshui Village was unable to divert water for irrigation was because the river was located at a lower terrain than their village.

Even if there are ditches, the water will not flow upstream if it doesn't rain.

If she could make a waterwheel, she could bring water from the low-lying water source to the high-lying Qingshui Village.

Moreover, there are many geographical locations like this in the capital, and the people suffer from the inability to draw water for irrigation.

If water wheels can really be popularized, they can really solve the troubles of most people.

"Of course I want to, but there aren't many people in our palace. Even if we ask everyone to help fetch water, we still can't irrigate much land!"

Bai Feng didn't even care about the crops on his own farm, let alone those of others.

"Sir, just tell me if you are willing to help. As long as you are willing to help, I have a way to allow the people living on high ground to also have water for irrigation."

"But you will have to be involved, and it may cost some money and manpower."

The two walked back while chatting.

Bai Feng's curiosity was completely aroused by Lin Wanwan. Although he was known as a playboy, he was actually a very kind person.

After all, I have never done anything against the law. At most, I just bully the young men I don't like.

It was because he was impeached so many times by officials that he gained a reputation as a playboy.

"Then after dinner, let's take my uncle and his family to visit the farm."

"We need a place to make a waterwheel. Let's stay at the farm for a few days to see if we can make the waterwheel as soon as possible."

Lin Wanwan had already described the function of the waterwheel to Bai Yu. Bai Yu felt that his young wife had a really good brain and could think of such a magical thing.

I just don’t know if this thing my young wife talked about is as practical as she said.

But what our little prince has the most is time, and he doesn't mind spending some time to give it a try with his wife.

"Why did you two go to the mountains to pick bamboo fungus?"

"If you want to eat, just tell your aunt. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

When grandma saw Lin Wanwan and the other person coming back, she immediately brought them water for washing their hands.

After they washed their hands, they were led into the house by Lao Wang's family.

"My young prince, we are just ordinary farmers and cannot afford any delicacies. I hope you will not be polite or look down on us."

After spending the morning together, grandpa was no longer as afraid of Bai Yu as before.

After leading the person to the table and sitting him down, he also knew how to say some very appropriate polite words.

"What are you talking about, grandpa? This is my wife's family home. How could I dislike it?"

"Also, did my wife tell you about moving to the farm?"

"That manor was given to me by my mother on my 18th birthday. It has been vacant all these years except for the occasional stay there for two days."

"I thought it would be fine if I just gave the farm to my uncles anyway!"

Bai Yu said as he took out a land deed from his sleeve.

"From now on, this farm will be handed over to Grandpa. I have asked someone to change the name on it to your name. It will be convenient for me to bring my wife back to live there when I have time!"

My grandparents stared at the title deed, and my uncles and aunts also looked surprised.

They didn't expect that the young prince would give them such a big gift.

You know, a large-scale farm is not cheap, especially within the capital.

Even if the farm is a little remote and poor, it is worth a lot of money.

"This……"

"My young prince, this really makes me, an old man, feel panic."

My grandfather held the thin deed in his hand, feeling both incredulous and frightened.

This farm is worth at least several thousand taels of silver, so how could they just give it to their family for free?

After all, they are not Lin Wanwan's biological grandparents, and they always feel a little uncomfortable accepting such a big gift from them.

"Grandpa and grandma, just take it. I'll ask my husband to take you to see it this afternoon."

"Look, our house is too small. My brothers and sisters are all squeezed into one room. Now that we are older, this is not a good idea!"

"Wait for you to move to the farm, so I'll have a place to live when I come back."

Lin Wanwan hurriedly tried to persuade them, worried that the girl’s family would refuse to accept the gift out of face.

She knew that this farm was nothing to the royal palace, but to the farmers, it was truly a revolutionary change.

He went straight from being a poor peasant to being a small landlord, which was a huge leap.

"Grandpa, just keep it. I see Wanwan really likes being with you guys. When we move to the farm in the future, we can come back and stay for a while!"

Since Bai Yu took out the land deed, it meant he really wanted to give it away and he never thought of letting the other party refuse.
