“Are you going to make use of all this cash to construct the aqueduct?” Boss Chen walked over to Jiaoniang and requested.

“To let you know the reality, Boss Chen says that I plan to make one thing new that you just all have by no means seen earlier than.” Jiaoniang had solely determined after a lot deliberation, that Zhu Zixiu would agree to offer her the riverside territory. In fact it would not be without cost. Nevertheless it additionally saved Jiaoniang lots of hassle. Since he had promised to renovate the canals within the county, Jiaoniang would naturally do his greatest to do it. I need to be a water wheel and remedy the issue of the drought within the Qingyuan County as soon as and for all. “

“Tch” Listening to Jiaoniang’s phrases, the Boss Chen laughed. It was very actual. To assume that he thought that Jiaoniang may nonetheless be thought of as a dependable particular person to do issues, however now it appeared that girls had been all girls, and would say greater than what they might do.

“It is regular for Boss Chen to not imagine it. I am going to repair it first, however a very powerful factor is to first remedy the issue of irrigation.”

Jiaoniang had noticed from the village that as a result of Qingyuan County was positioned within the mountain, the bottom right here was low within the southeast area and excessive within the northwest. Though there have been additionally rivers flowing down the mountain, the quantity of water was not sufficient for use for irrigation.

With a purpose to remedy the present irrigation downside, apart from repairing the water channel reservoir, the primary downside needs to be lifting water. Within the present water wells, solely males may depend on brute power to convey the water up, and what Jiaoniang wanted to do was for the ladies to convey the water up as nicely.

To do this, one factor is the pulley. Previously, Jiaoniang’s hometown had wells as nicely, and a lot of the wells used a wheel to fetch water, so shaking the handles did not even require a lot effort to convey the water up. Afterward, there was a kind of nicely referred to as a water nicely, which required a tube and a rubber sheet to soak up the water, which Jiaoniang did not have in the mean time, and there was additionally a kind of nicely which used the barb precept.

Nevertheless, Jiaoniang may solely give a basic thought of the speculation behind the wheel, she couldn’t perceive it even when she took one step at a time. Fortuitously, Ye Xuan had completed job together with his work, and had rigorously listened to Jiaoniang’s rationalization to create the mould, however when it was really used for carrying water, it was lacking one thing, and it required lots of effort to convey it up, it was virtually ineffective.

Jiaoniang had no different alternative however to put her hopes on the carpenters of this period. Ji Dahe was too busy digging and had no time to check, so she requested round to search out any well-known carpenters.

It was a pity that three wives could not give delivery to sons, all of them had been daughters. Afterward, his depressed temperament turned extraordinarily unusual, and he now not labored as a craftsman, so he did not know what he was doing at residence. His daughter-in-law ran away two instances, and solely his crippled daughter-in-law accompanied him, and the eldest of his daughters was now seventeen years outdated, not even on the marriage day but, however on the spring day after they had been promoting flowers to earn some cash to assist their households, life was not as snug because it was previously.

He simply so occurred to be married off by a spouse within the village. Coincidentally, the wood field was made by the Outdated Man Solar, Jiaoniang went to have a look, and found that the field was certainly made very nicely, the camphor wooden field may shield towards bugs, the underside of the field had 4 helps that would shield it from the tide, and essentially the most miraculous half was the field’s lock. It was not product of iron, however was product of wooden, and solely the proprietor would know how one can open it.

Jiaoniang turned the wood lock over and over a couple of instances. There have been no keyholes, and he did not know what sort of construction was inside, to truly be so magical.

Subsequently, Jiaoniang needed to search out this unusual outdated man on the way in which again to town.

When Boss Chen left, it appeared like he didn’t need to talk about issues an excessive amount of with Jiaoniang. In fact, Jiaoniang may perceive his perspective, and recalling how little he had achieved previously few months, how may he get the eye of those individuals?

Jiaoniang calculated in his coronary heart, if he actually needed to battle, the very first thing he needed to do was increase his status, he could not let others look down on him as a result of he was a lady.

It was a pity that the time was not proper but. If he recklessly tried to get the assist of others, it’d appeal to lots of criticism.

Regardless of what number of instances these landlords scolded Jiaoniang, they nonetheless donated cash obediently and even got here to Jiaoniang’s facet to say a couple of good phrases.

In spite of everything, behind Jiaoniang was his Zhu Household. Regardless of how formidable Jiaoniang was, he would by no means have the ability to persuade and persuade these individuals. This time, he also needs to thank Zhu Household, and let Jiaoniang bear in mind all of those wealthy individuals within the metropolis by coronary heart.

It took them an entire morning to complete counting the full contributions. There have been 18 individuals who participated within the donation course of, and the full quantity was 2,137 silver taels. This was already an enormous sum of money on this period.

“Even should you spend all of this cash to restore the canal, you’ll nonetheless have some left over. I am afraid that you just, an ignorant girl, could be blinded by your wealth and will not run away with our cash. Aren’t we deceived?” When the person mentioned that, he took out the cash unwillingly. Now that Jiaoniang revealed the full quantity of contribution, he instantly exploded, who would not be jealous of the sum of money.

“Everybody would not belief me, however do you not belief Boss Zhu? Boss Zhu is among the most essential individuals within the metropolis. If I need to escape with the cash, Boss Zhu could be the primary one to not let me go away the Qingyuan County, I’d not have the ability to escape even when I had wings! Everybody be relaxed, the bills for these silver are all at my disposal, if any of you don’t imagine me, you may come and test at any time, and if any of you don’t pay me again, I, Jiaoniang, is not going to have the face to see any of you. “

Jiaoniang’s phrases had been honest, to not point out them, if such a factor actually occurred, Boss Zhu would positively not sit idly by and permit it to occur. After the group mentioned for some time, somebody mentioned: “We’ll belief you for now, however what do you propose to do with this cash? Repairing roads and canals? “What ought to we do with the remainder of the cash?”

Nevertheless, if she had been to return the remaining silver, that may not be Jiaoniang’s fashion. What she needed to do, coincidentally required such a lot of silver, and since she couldn’t pay for it herself, she may solely use these individuals’s fingers.

“Do not assume an excessive amount of into it, everybody. This time, I’ve discovered some specialists to restore the irrigation system in our county. After this, there’ll now not be any drought issues. I hope that you may belief me and monitor this often.”

Everybody checked out one another, they didn’t need to imagine Jiaoniang, however of their hearts, they held their breaths. Simply as they had been about to flare up, the door was all of the sudden pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in.

“Do any of you’ve got any objections?”
