Chapter 96
After the common people heard the news, they brought their families to vote. Who wouldn't want such a kind master?
30%, unprecedented preferential treatment.
Although the conditions for income are strict, it needs to be 15 years, and there must be no criminal record. However, the more this is the case, the more everyone is scrambling to join.
Soon, more than 200 people were recruited, and houses were allocated to families.
As soon as I heard that I could live in a brick house, the main house supplies the materials, and I built my own house, everyone was as excited as a chicken.
Building a house for their own family did not hesitate to work, everyone woke up early in the dark, and the work was in full swing, and brick houses with exactly the same shape rose from the ground.
And Mu Wanqing handed over the construction of the courtyard to Mu Zhong. She had only one requirement for the house, which was simple and practical.
Mu Zhong's executive power is very strong and his ability is also good. As long as Mu Wanqing instructs him to go on, he can do it beautifully.
With him around, Mu Wanqing was very relieved.
Xiliang is dry and water-deficient, making it extremely inconvenient to irrigate the farmland. Farmers are desperate to eat. Mu Wanqing plans to build a water supply project.
To put it simply, it is a water conservancy facility that automatically lifts water to irrigate farmland through the rotation of the waterwheel, using the impact force of the water flow to boost it. She once visited the Lanzhou waterwheel, which is the model. The Lanzhou waterwheel was born out of a wooden drum car and was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. After years of experimentation, Lanzhou people finally succeeded. Note (1)
She has seen relevant drawings, but after all, she is not a professional, and some details have been forgotten.
She tried hard to recall, and kept scribbling and drawing, and she wasted countless drawings.
The Lanzhou waterwheel gradually took shape under her writing, and her ideas became more and more mature...
The rapid footsteps sounded, and Mu Zhong's voice sounded outside the door, "Miss, Miss, there is trouble outside, saying that you kidnapped the villagers of his family, I have to give you an explanation, but the problem is, we accept people I've checked all the time and there's nothing wrong..."
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows and finally came, "Report to the government."
"But..." Mu Zhong hesitated. Logically, it might not be possible for the government to win.
"Go ahead, this is the set they set for me, I'll follow it." Mu Wanqing put down her pen silently and looked at the blueprint she drew with admiration.
Outside the farm, a group of people shouted aggressively, their words were particularly ugly and unsightly.
The weather was hot, and when moved a little, was sweating all over body.
"Women have long hair and short knowledge. They do things that can't make it to the top. You want to be a good person.
"Ah, if I had a daughter like you, I would have to strangle it to death.
"The Mu family girl has no brains in doing things. She thinks it out, she doesn't think about others at all, so don't blame us for being rude."
"Why haven't you come out yet? Wouldn't it be hiding at home and crying? It's too late, crying is useless."
"This is to be a tortoise with a shriveled head, think of beauty, smash the door, smash me hard, I have to give her a good look today."
They were all farmers, and when they heard that Mu Wanqing only charged 30% of the land rent, she was instantly furious.
Everyone is 50% to 60%, and you suddenly come out and get 30%, which makes them very blackhearted.
You want to do something special, what should they do? What will the mud-legged people in Zhuangzi think?
Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness, and the mud-legged people will rebel.
This is cutting people's money, like killing one's parents, can you not hate it?
What made them even more angry was that she also announced to the world with great fanfare that everyone should go to Shuimu Farm.
Dig their corners, simply ignore them, and blatantly provoke them.
No, everyone agreed to besiege her together and force her to bow her head.
However, after a long time of fuss, no one saw him, and he couldn't make himself angry.
Just beating and beating, a group of people galloped over, "Stop all of them, the owner of Shuimu Farm sued you for using violence, illegally breaking into other people's residences, and with bad intentions, take them all away."
It's official here.
The village owners were stunned, okay, the wicked person complained first, "My lord, you are wronged, she was the one who misbehaved first, we are just here to seek justice."
The official's face was serious and serious, "Why don't you go to the government to seek justice? The Daqi Dynasty has long established that it is forbidden to fight in groups in private."
"we do not have……"
The officer was sweating profusely, and waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, take it all away, if you have anything to say to the government."
The village owners looked at each other, which was different from what they imagined.
"What about Mu Wanqing? She has to go too."
At this moment, the gate opened, and a carriage slowly came out.
The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a small face with red lips and white teeth, with a smile on his brows and eyes. "Everyone, it's hard work, let's drink a bowl of our special sour plum soup."
The sour plum soup surging in the well water is sweet and sour, and one sip will dissipate the heat.
Cannibalism is short-sighted, and the officials couldn't help but have a good impression of her, "Thank you."
The village owners were so angry that their mouths were crooked, and they actually flattered the officials in front of them, shameless, "You damn girl..."
Mu Wanqing swept over with a glance, "Speak well and strive to be a gentleman. I hate dirty things with feces all over my mouth."
The popular face reddened, "You...you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Wanqing turned her head, "Let's go, I haven't been back to the city for a long time, so I just went back to have a look."
Her gaze fell in the southwest direction, the corner of her mouth was slightly hooked, and the back hand she arranged should also arrive.
In the Xishan Barracks, Du Shuai took his son and a group of his subordinates to discuss matters.
A soft voice came from outside, "Little General, Little General."
As soon as heard this voice, knew that it was Du Shaoxuan's side attendant. There was no special reason to call him at this time.
Du Shaoxuan stood up abruptly, confessed to Du Shuai and his uncles, and then went out. "What are you yelling about?"
The attendant said cautiously, "Little General, Shuimu Farm has sent it..."
There was another person standing beside him. It was Mu Wanqing's person, Li Pingan. Their husband and wife stayed in the village and were responsible for protecting Mu Wanqing.
Du Shaoxuan's eyes lit up, "What's the food? Get it now."
Li Pingan took out a food box, and Du Shaoxuan didn't have time to take a closer look, and ran in with the food box.
He opened the food box and found a pot of sour plum soup and a green bean cake, for two.
He was the first to give it to Du Shuai, "Father, try it."
Du Shuai is not a person who likes to enjoy, but he couldn't bear to brush off his son's filial piety, and took a sip of sour plum soup, "Yes, I will share it with everyone."
The amount is small, only enough for everyone to drink two sips, but it is unexpectedly delicious.
A lieutenant smacked his lips, still unfinished, "Little general, ask your friend to prepare more, who can eat such a little food?"
Du Shaoxuan was very distressed. Mu Wanqing specially prepared food for him.
"Hey, this... it's a letter." Someone exclaimed, and a thick letter was pressed under the food box.
Someone winked, "It's not a love letter, is it?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Wanqing and I are friends." Du Shaoxuan opened the letter and took a breath. "Father, look, these are the design drawings, and she actually gave them to me."
I mentioned it last time, but after that, she didn't mention it again, and Du Shaoxuan was embarrassed to remind it. This thing is not an ordinary thing, and it is normal for people to go back on it.
Du Shuai was stunned for a moment, then took a few glances, his expression became more and more solemn.
He is knowledgeable, and he can see the extraordinaryness of this design at a glance, "This is designed by that Miss Mu?"
"That's right, she used *** to treat Grandma Mu Jiu..." Du Shaoxuan changed her name in time, there was no Grandma Mu Jiu anymore, only the abandoned Li family. "No, it was Li's arm that shot through. It was very far away, and the aim was very accurate. It is said that she didn't use much strength."
Du Shuai glared at his son angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Du Shaoxuan was silent.
The voice of the attendant came from outside again, "Young Master, they also sent a locked wooden box. I don't know what is in it. I will give it to you by name."
Du Shaoxuan's heart moved. He jumped up violently and ran out quickly.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately followed.
Du Shaoxuan looked at the locked wooden box, pursed his lips, took out his long sword and swung it over.
With a bang, the lock fell to the ground.
When Du Shaoxuan opened the box, it was a delicate dunk, with exquisite workmanship, complicated design and smooth lines like water.
"Dad, look, she gave me a dick, hahaha."
He was overjoyed, in high spirits, and couldn't wait to try it out.
According to what Mu Wanqing taught him, he aimed at the birds in the distance.
With a single click, the long arrow flew out, hitting the bird with precision.
This was too easy, Du Shaoxuan couldn't react, and he didn't use much effort.
He picked up the cock and aimed it at a fruit a hundred meters away, and hit it again.
When everyone saw Guo Zi falling to the ground, they were stunned. The distance was a bit far.
After everyone reacted, they rushed over, "Little General, let me try."
Vice-General Zhao is even more shameless, "Let me try first, my shooting is the worst."
This reason is also absolutely impossible, okay, let him try it first.
Deputy General Zhao asked the soldiers to get an arrow target and put it 90 meters away.
Under the guidance of Du Shaoxuan, the arrow won the bid with one shot, it didn't fall off, and it passed through the target and landed on the ground. Everyone knows what this means. Great lethality!
He rubbed his eyes, a little in disbelief, "Ah, ah, I actually hit it, it's amazing, little general, your archery skills are superb, you don't need this kind of assistance, you should give it to me."
Another general rushed over, hugged him, and tried to grab the cock in his hand with the other.
"Go away, my arm is sore recently, I need such an artifact, little general, give it to me."
As a soldier, who wouldn't want such an artifact? It can save lives in critical moments.
A majestic voice sounded, "Bring it to me."
"Why are you arguing with Lao Tzu..." Deputy General Zhao turned around and almost choked to death on his own saliva, "Cough, Du Shuai, please."
Du Shuai tried it once, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had obtained some rare treasure, and he couldn't put it down.
When everyone saw this, they looked at each other, well, no more drama.
Du Shaoxuan was particularly proud, "Father, what do you think?"
Du Shuai took a deep look at his son, what was he proud of? It wasn't designed by him!
"Build a battalion, send a thousand people in, and you will be the battalion commander. In a month's time, I will see a powerful team of divine arrows."
"Yes, father." Du Shaoxuan replied solemnly.
Du Shuai issued an order, "Zhou Zuoling, I will leave the construction of the equipment to you. This is a top secret."
"Yes."
Du Shaoxuan was full of joy and looked at Li Ping'an, "Thank you for your lady. I like the gift she gave. Is she still in Zhuangzi? What is she doing?"
Li Pingan has always followed Mu Wanqing and respected her very much.
"She wants to build a water supply project, which can draw water from the river and send it to the fields for irrigation without any effort. If it is successful, it can be promoted in various places. It is said that it is especially suitable for military reclamation, but unfortunately..."
Everyone ran over in unison, and it sounds like a good thing, this time we must be the first!
Only Du Shaoxuan was a little worried, "Is it not going well? This kind of thing can't be rushed, take your time."
"Someone besieged our farm." Li Pingan looked anxious.
Du Shaoxuan's expression changed, "What? Say it again."
"Some people who don't like my young lady smashed the gate of our farm and wanted to drag the young lady away..." Li Ping'an's eyes were red.
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Ah?" Du Shaoxuan was angry and anxious, grabbing Li Ping'an's collar, "Who did it? I'll go save people right now."
"When I came out, those village owners were besieging our Shuimu Farm. They would not let the young lady go. They must kill her."
Du Shaoxuan's heart was numb, and his always clear head was blank.
Du Shuai frowned slightly, "Why?"
"The lady is very nice, so she did a great deed to reduce the rent..." Li Ping'an held an injustice for his young lady.
"Father, don't ask, I'll go take a look." Du Shaoxuan took Li Ping'an and ran, "Go and prepare the horse, hurry up."
Looking at his son's fiery back, Mu Shuai's eyes flickered slightly, "A-Dong, you can follow me over there, Zeer's concern is messy, and the Mu family's daughter has nothing to lose."
"Yes."
