Chapter 94 Using Space to Transport Water
"Miss Fourth, what do you think?"
Yu Wan walked around the village in a big circle. The seedlings were planted well and there were no floating seedlings.
"Very good, it's just a matter of taking care of it from now on. Just pay attention."
"Yes, Fourth Miss, I'll spare you the trouble, old slave." Zhu Dagui responded happily. He had not been busy in vain these days. Looking at the rice seedlings planted in the field, he felt inexplicably happy.
Fields are the basis for farmers' survival, and no farmer wants to see their fields bare.
Now that the water problem has been solved, as long as we take care of it carefully, it will be a good harvest year.
Zhu Dagui looked at Yu Wan, who was only ten years old, and admired him for his great ability.
Yu Wan went back to the county town that afternoon. She originally wanted to see if there were any Zhuangzi for sale in the town, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. The Zhuangzi in this town was not big, so she might as well go to Fucheng to buy.
After going back and making arrangements, there is still time to go to Fucheng. At this time, it is most cost-effective to sell Zhuangzi and hire someone.
The Great Yan Empire is vast and rich in resources. As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about buying land. You can even open up wasteland yourself.
Opening up wasteland is more cost-effective than buying Zhuangzi now. It is simply a huge profit. The land that is opened belongs to whoever opens it. There is no need to pay taxes for the first five years, and the payment is very small. It is settled on a one-year basis.
Yu Wan was going to take a look at Fucheng when the time came. There were mountains, water and land over there, but the land over there was still plain.
And she saw a lot of wasteland that could be reclaimed and planted with crops.
It was already dark when Yu Wan returned to Yu Mansion. She simply ate something and then asked Mrs. Wu to find Zong Zheng.
"Miss Fourth, are you looking for an old slave?"
Yu Wan nodded: "As for the Zhuangzi matter, tomorrow morning you ask all the family members to go out and dig a reservoir in each Zhuangzi. Let me know when you have dug it."
Zong Zheng said: "Okay, Miss Fourth, the land on Zhuangzi has been plowed, what kind of seeds are you going to plant?"
Yu Wan thought about it: "Let's plant cotton, soybeans, and corn."
These three are the most suitable right now. Ninety percent of the fields are empty this year. These will be in short supply in the future.
Yu Wan told Zong Zheng the method of teaching Zhu Dagui in the town, then washed up and went to sleep.
The next day, when Yu Wan got up, everyone in the house had already set off to Zhuangzi, and only Shu Bo, the concierge, was left.
After Yu Wan had eaten, she left the south city gate and headed for the river behind Zhuangzi.
She rode horses all the way and soon reached the river. She took a closer look and said: "The water level in the river is so low."
Yu Wan frowned. The water in the river might dry up before the summer, and there shouldn't be much water in the mountains.
She walked to the river, put her hand in the river, and silently said "suck." She saw the water in the river flowing towards her at the speed of the naked eye.
This method is good, but she can only use it for her own family. This will make other outsiders think of her as nothing.
She wanted to help, but she couldn't stand it when others thought she was an evil person, and it was difficult to maintain her space.
In the end, Yu Wan gave up the idea. She filled the space pond with water before leaving. Fortunately, no one came here when she was in Zhuangzi.
Three days passed by in a flash. The ponds in the three villages were dug, and Yu Wan filled the three ponds that night.
Zongzheng recruited a hundred people in these three days. On the fourth day, a hundred people went to the fields to plant cotton, soybeans, corn, and irrigate. It was a lively scene.
Yu Wan is wandering around inside, and she will say something appropriate when she sees someone who is inappropriate.
Even Zongzheng can't stand it alone.
At this time, some people began to wonder where the water came from.
"Hey, it's strange. This pond is newly dug, so why is there water?"
"I'm talking about Ershui. Our boss invited us to work. Don't talk too much. Maybe the boss has money and it's possible to transport it from the river."
"Yes, Brother Ershui, Brother Xiaofan is right, work quickly and don't be too troublesome."
In this drought year, whoever has the ability to get water and grow crops is the uncle. How can they, the common people in the village, have any harsh words to say.
The three of them fell silent and just went to work.
Yu Wan happened to hear it when she passed by. She was glad that Zongzheng's men digging the pond could not be put into the village to work.
Although she was suspected of covering her ears and stealing the bell, she had no other choice but to cover it up whenever she could.
This matter reminded Yu Wan that it seemed that he still had to hire someone to take care of the crops.
When she arrived in Fucheng, she would definitely not hire anyone. Even if she transplanted the rice slowly, the seedlings grown in the space would definitely grow faster than the seedlings outside. The later time would be just right.
In this way, Yu Wan helped look after the fields during the day. At night, after everyone fell asleep, she moved the seedlings out, and then applied the small cloud and rain technique to all the crops planted in the field during the day.
There were not enough manpower in the middle, so Zongzheng recruited dozens more people, and it took five days to plant all the fields in the four villages.
"Uncle Zong, there is nothing going on at home now. It's just that Zhuangzi has sent someone to take care of it. Please make arrangements to take someone with me to the capital in two days."
When Zongzheng heard that he was going to Fucheng, he was naturally willing. He said, "Okay, Miss Fourth."
The next day, Yu Wan came to Yahang again. Shopkeeper Wu waited for several days and finally saw her here today.
Shopkeeper Wu greeted me with a smile: "How are you, Miss Yu?"
Yu Wan asked straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Wu, we are going to Fucheng tomorrow, is it convenient for you to go?"
"Convenient, convenient," shopkeeper Wu said to himself. It is not convenient to give money to the boy, but it must be convenient.
"Okay, we'll meet you at Yahang early tomorrow morning," Yu Wan said.
"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for Miss Yu tomorrow."
Yu Wan nodded and said goodbye to Shopkeeper Wu. She went to the end of another street and found a wine shop.
She had not replenished the wine in her space since she had taken it out. She had to replenish some today.
Yu Wan could smell the aroma of wine from a distance. It was true that the aroma of wine was not afraid of a narrow alley.
Yu Wan walked in. This was an old shop. There were not many wines on display. A waiter was dozing on the table.
"Ahem, this waiter brother," Yu Wan shouted.
The waiter raised his sleepy eyes and saw that it was a little girl. He said unhappily: "Buy wine?"
Yu Wan nodded: "How much wine do you have?"
"How much? There must be several thousand kilograms. Can you buy all?"
"How much per kilogram?"
The waiter said impatiently: "One hundred coins per kilogram."
Yu Wan frowned: "So expensive?"
"Don't buy if you think it's expensive," the waiter said in an aggressive tone.
Yu Wan was unhappy. What kind of wine did this waiter buy? She couldn't ask clearly.
"You waiter, if the shop belonged to me, I would have kicked you out long ago. Customers come to the shop to buy things and they naturally ask for details, but you still look unhappy. You are really crazy."
The waiter's face was twisted with anger, and he pointed at Yu Wan and was about to scold her.
Yu Wan threw a stream of spiritual power in his face.
