Chapter 541-550

Chapter 541: I'm here to solve the problem for him

On the day when Meng Zhuqing was asked to hire someone to irrigate, Jing Jing sighed with Xiao Changyi: "It would be great if there was a waterwheel, how could someone choose it? The waterwheel can directly transport the water from the river to the ditches and then flow into the fields, not only It’s convenient and easy for people.”

   "Waterwheel?"

"Well, waterwheel. I remember that my grandfather's house had a keel waterwheel. It was hand-cranked, and the structure was not complicated. I didn't expect it to be hot for so long. If I had known, I would have drawn the keel waterwheel for the carpenter. I've made one. I'm in a hurry to irrigate the fields today, it's too late, and when Meng Zhuqing comes back, we'll let Meng Zhuqing take the blueprint and find a carpenter to make one."

After a pause, he said quietly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if we don't have a waterwheel. Anyway, we hire people to irrigate our fields, and we don't need you to irrigate. I make a waterwheel mainly for our convenience in the future. There are still long days in the future, maybe we will encounter such droughts again, there is no harm in preparing the waterwheel well and preparing there."

   "Hmm." After a pause, Xiao Changyi asked, "Jing'er, locusts will be bound to the extreme drought, do you have a solution?"

  There have been three locust plagues in the history of Xiyun Kingdom. Each locust plague caused heavy losses. In the end, it turned into a famine, and each famine killed many people.

   But even if so many people died every time, they were still helpless against the locusts that filled the sky.

   Every time it is 'the locust swarms pass by, the red land is thousands of miles away'.

  An Jing was amused by Xiao Changyi's words, and jokingly said: "Xiang Gong, you are asking me directly now? Am I being too transparent with you?"

  Xiao Changyi said: "Opacity... Could it be that you still want to keep something with me?"

  An Jing immediately smiled and said, "I won't keep anything with you, but I will keep something with others."

   He regards her as more important than his life, even if she is really a monster, he will only protect her, not hurt her. She is really quite clear about this.

   Xiao Changyi's thin lips curled slightly when he heard Quiet's words. In fact, the relationship between him and his daughter-in-law has long been as transparent as one person. And he just likes to hear his daughter-in-law say that.

Quiet laughed twice before returning to the topic, saying: "I actually don't know much about how to get rid of locusts in my original world, but I once read an extracurricular reading - Xu Guangqi's "Agricultural Zheng Quanshu", which seems to be It is written that if you use stalks of grass ash, coal ash, etc. to finely divide and sieve it over the grain, the locusts will not eat it.”

  Xiao Changyi said solemnly, "Jing'er, I thank you for the people of Xiyun."

"Fool, thank you, I live here with you now, if there is a famine, our life will not be easy." After a pause, "then you have to send someone to report this to the foster father, if you wait for the locusts to come, Then it will be too late.”
