Daqin: Life and death are indifferent

In the rising sun, in the fields, men and women weave.

It’s early spring.

Men had to loosen and water the hard soil in the fields in order to plant the seeds of grain.

The woman was in the nearby mulberry forest, picking mulberry leaves, wiping them clean, and returning to feed the silkworms and spit silk weaving cloth.

“Ugly man!”

“What kind of watermill are you going to do!”

“You’ve been tinkering with it for most of the month, and it doesn’t work.”

“It’s better to follow us to honestly turn over the mercenary field!”

“Your family’s few acres of thin land, the terrain is high, there is a lack of water irrigation, even if you turn it over, you can’t grow food.”

In the middle of the farmland, several men turned the ground with stone hoes while talking to the ugly man on the edge of the field.

In front of the ugly man was a wooden waterwheel like a long dragon, which was adjusting.

Hearing this, he raised his head and revealed a humble face.

“I’ve finished turning over my family’s maid field.”

“This watermill was given to me by my third brother, I saw it and felt that it was very useful, and I tried it immediately.”

“This time, there will be no failure!”

Bufu’s family, only seven points of thin field, not even an acre.

Moreover, the terrain is high and water shortage, and there is no crop.

Only the domestic fields of large households can be rented for farming.

However, sixty percent of the grain produced by the mercenary fields must be handed over to the big households.

Then pay taxes and grain to the government.

Busy all year round, the harvest is only enough for a few people in the family to eat and drink.

When you encounter a bad year, you will be hungry.

Therefore, after getting the drawings of the watermill that Bufu gave him, the ugly man immediately gritted his teeth and must make it.

Now, after several trials, it’s finally time to the last minute.

The ugly man put the water wheel on his dry field and plunged it into the canal below.

Then it began to sell the rocker of the head of the water wheel.

Suddenly, in the water wheel, one by one the pedal wind pages turned!

The watermill is a long groove, lined with wheel pedal wind pages, which can be rotated with the front handle.

The first wind page scoops up the water from the canal, and the second wind page scoops up the water and continues to pass it up….

In this way, the water in the canal, little by little from the bottom up, flowed down the water wheel, flowed to a high place, and flowed into the dirt under the feet of the ugly man!

“I made it!”

Buff was overjoyed when he saw it!

When the surrounding men heard this, they suddenly felt incredible, and they all gathered around, amazed!

“This watermill is really feasible!”

“Shake the water in the low place to the high place, so that many fields that are barren due to lack of water can be saved!”

“It’s just that this has to keep shaking, it’s very tired!”

“As long as you can bring your own land to life, how tired you are? I can shake all night without sleeping! ”

“The ugly man’s watermill really worked! That Bufu kid’s drawings, so effective? ”

Everyone exclaimed.

The ugly man ran around excitedly.

The success of the watermill means that a little of your own dry land can grow crops!

There is no need to plant the servant fields of the Zhao family, and there is no need to hand over six percent of the harvest!

It’s time to fill your stomach!

In the mulberry forest by the field, a slim figure with a large bamboo basket walked out.

She filled her hand with mulberry leaves, put down the heavy bamboo basket, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from the corner of her forehead, and looked at the water wheel in the field.

The quiet face, under the rising sun, reflected red.

She gently raised her hand and touched the wooden hairpin on her sideburns, revealing a warm smile

“Watermill, it worked!”

“His drawings will definitely succeed!”

This girl is none other than the young lady!

“What’s the noise!”

Just when the ugly man and the others were happy, a cold shout sounded.

A brother Gongzi dressed in clean cloth, with two servants, walked over, his face full of flesh.

“Zhao Guanggongzi!”

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was this person, and immediately bowed their heads to say hello.

Zhao Guang is the son of the Zhao family and the head of their maid field!

It can be said that all of them are farming for the Zhao family.

“Young Master Zhao, the ugly man’s water wheel has succeeded!”

“In the future, the wasteland in the high places can be planted!”

An old man cried with joy.

“What’s the use!”

“Does my Zhao family lack those few acres of wasteland!”

Zhao Guang was unappreciative and directly reprimanded.

Then he looked at the ugly man.

“Ugly man! What a crime should you be guilty of not being without controversy, not farming, but tinkering with some kitsch tricks! ”

The ugly man’s humble face suddenly became anxious, wanting to justify, but unable to speak.

He is humble by nature, and this kind of verbal argument cannot be said at all.

Fortunately, the young lady and a few girls in the mulberry forest ran over.

“Young Master Zhao, my family rents your family’s maid field, and my eldest brother has already turned it over.”

“He used his remaining free time to make a water wheel, why not?”

“Besides, the success of the watermill is good for everyone.”

When Zhao Guang heard someone refute him, he was immediately furious.

When I turned my head, I saw that the young lady was clean and beautiful, and my eyes suddenly lit up.

“You’re the little child bride from Ugly Fuga?”

The young lady immediately shook her head.

“I’m from the Buff family!”

After speaking, her little face turned red again.

“Hmph! Ugly, bufu, aren’t they all a family! Zhao Guang said dissatisfied.

“It’s different.”

The young lady blushed, but insisted.
