Luo Yong felt that he was a hard worker.
He had only been idle for two days, and the village was about to start another big project.
Of course, building an irrigation system is a good thing, and he has to support it.
In addition to the money and food that each household in the village needs to share, Luo Yong donated an additional twenty loads of cement.
One load of cement cost five cents, which means It's one hundred pence.
The money is not much, but everyone knows that Luo Sanlang is very poor now, and they don't want him to spend money.
If this hundred cents is divided among the villagers, each household will only have to do a lot of things for less than ten cents.
Nowadays, almost every household in Po Village is making money, so they can still get this little money, but Luo Yong has to give it to him, which is also his wish.
The matter of building canals and waterwheels was quickly settled.
Every household had money to pay and food to pay.
But if they couldn't afford it, like Feng Gouer's family, no one said anything. .
Tian Sheng and his wife did not hold back this time, because Tian Chonghu had taken a lot of money from home before, and he was relatively rich now, and he was quite happy when taking the money.
Taking advantage of the period before the autumn harvest when it was not so busy, the villagers quickly started construction.
In addition to the manpower in their own village, there were also several craftsmen invited from the threshing machine workshop in Luoyong to make the water wheel.
In fact, as long as the principle of the waterwheel is understood, it is not difficult to make.
Villagers can also do it themselves, but these craftsmen are more experienced after all, and their tools are more professional.
The waterwheel they make can not only turn Okay, it looks better too.
The real trouble is the ditches, which require digging and cementing, and planning and calculation.
They are in a mountainous area, and the flow of water in those small creeks and ditches is not large at ordinary times, but when it rains, the rainwater from the mountains gathers. , the water flow in the stream will surge, and the water tanker may be destroyed.
So they had to first divert the stream water to other places, and then arrange the irrigation system according to the terrain.
Water can be directly diverted to lower areas with canals.
In some places where water needs to be diverted to higher areas, water trucks will be used.
In the past few days, people in the village often meet to discuss how to dig the next ditch, where to dig it, how big a water tanker is needed, etc.
Speaking of which, Luo Yong still takes advantage because his family has a lot of land.
Even excluding the large area next to the sheep shed, his family has a large piece of sloping land right at the entrance of the village.
In addition to the eucommia trees, the sloping land has a lot of land.
It is mainly used to grow beans.
Because the land is relatively dry and not fertile, the beans don't grow well.
Luo Yong can harvest as much as he can, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
However, once the irrigation system is put in place, the slopes of his home will be easy to grow crops.
If there is time, it is not impossible to build some terraces, add more fertilizers and cultivate them, and turn them into fertile fields.
Because of this, he couldn't be lazy any more.
He spent all day running on the hillside on this hot day, doing everything from digging trenches to carrying mud.
"Hey, Sanlang, this is heavy and you can't lift it.
I'll do it."
At noon this day, Luo Yong was about to bend down to pick up a load of mud, but he was handed over by a villager next to him. snatched away.
In their minds, Luo Sanlang is just a serious mental worker, and has nothing to do with physical labor.
They saw him working with everyone all day long in the past two days, which looked quite worrying.
His small body had been injured before, so it would be better to be exhausted again.
"Nothing, I can pick it up."
Everyone was working together, and Luo Yong didn't want to be special.
"You are still tall, don't pick something so heavy."
As the living sign of Xipo Village, everyone also hopes that Luo Sanlang will be handsome and otherworldly.
In fact, he does look pretty good.
Just a little short.

The villagers are actually talking privately, saying that even if Luo Sanlang is not as tall as Du Langjun, he must be about the same height as that relative of the Lin family, right, that Qiao Junlin.
They are the same age, and Qiao Junlin is taller than Luo Sanlang.
A little higher.
I don’t know what the kid has eaten since he went to Chang’an City.
When he was in the village, he was just a little black guy with a temper as stubborn as a donkey.
But now he has changed a lot.
A few days ago, there was a kid in the village.
The young wife squatted by the ditch with him and washed her clothes for a while, and she blushed for most of the day.
"Sanlang, you'd better come over here and dig the soil with us."
"Let their men do the burden-bearing work."
"You are a scholar, how can you shoulder such a heavy burden?"
"" The villagers greeted Luo Yong warmly and did not ask him to carry burdens.
They only chose some light jobs for him to do.
Lin Chunqiu, who also considers himself a scholar, walked past them with a dark face and a load of mud.
Some people didn't notice him at all, but some people did notice him and were interested in his behavior.
The black face was very unconcerned.
As for the sixth child of the Lin family, if he had been Luo Sanlang in the past few days, he would have been resting at home, and he could still be expected to come to work on the slopes.
I heard that old man Lin has started to take care of his son recently.
He has been repairing canals on the slope these days, and he has been called in every day.
I heard that if he doesn't work hard, he won't be given food when he returns home.
I don’t know if the old man really thought about it and wanted to take care of this little boy, or if he should show it to the other sons in the family.
Who in the village doesn’t know about their family’s affairs?
Boss Lin.
Secondly, Lin Chunqiu had no idea how much dissatisfaction he had accumulated in his heart.
"I heard that Lin Chunqiu's wife came back two days ago."
Several women gossiped while digging.
"I came back, just two or three days ago.
It was almost dark when I brought her here, and I haven't seen her go out in the past two days."
Someone who knew the situation said it at this time.
"I'm probably ashamed."
Not long after the new daughter-in-law entered the house, her parents-in-law drove her back to her parents' home, saying that she didn't know how to do housework.
Anyone else would be ashamed.
"We should let her know how powerful she is.
I heard she is careless.
She dared to feel uncomfortable with Wu Lang and his wife just two days after entering the house."
Someone snorted.
"Who did you listen to?"
"Who else could it be?
Her sister-in-law."
"Hey, I heard that she is now again" "That's right, my belly is getting bigger."
"She is capable of giving birth.
Look at Lin Erlang's family.
After giving birth to a girl, there has been no movement."
"No, I heard that Lin Chunqiu doesn't dare to touch Qiao in front of her now."
"If I want to make her angry, then Lin Dalang can agree."

"The family will definitely be separated by then."
"It's like their family, so it's okay to split up." "" Several major events have happened recently in the Lin family.
Sister-in-law Lin is pregnant again, Father Lin has begun to take care of his son, and Lin Chunqiu's wife is back again.
Luo Yong had been working on the slope these days, and he often heard people talk about their family's affairs.
He listened to all kinds of good and bad things.
The more he listened, the more he felt that in the future, the two mothers and four mothers would never find their husband's family.
It is best to find a quiet family with little dispute, so as not to be gossiped about every day.
Speaking of Er Niang, Er Niang and the others have arrived in Liangzhou City now.
This Liangzhou City is really different from their place in Lishi County.
The poor people here are very poor and the rich people are very rich.
Many merchants come in and out of this city every day.
Many people from the West gather here. gems and spices, silks and porcelain from the Central Plains, and all kinds of strange and fresh things.
Of course, there were also many slaves.
Zhao Chen's guest house has not been built yet, but they have just negotiated for an old house.
Before the house is demolished and a guest house is built, the two mothers have nothing to do.
She saw someone selling unsorted wool on the street, and the price was much lower than that in Lishi County, so she bought some and came back to sort.
She planned to do some work in the next few days, sorting cashmere, spinning and knitting sweaters. , I can make a lot of money by knitting a set of cashmere sweaters and trousers and selling them to the merchants who come and go.
As for their residence, Zhao Chen and the others rented several houses in a row in a residential area.
These houses were bought by local wealthy households from poor people who were in ruins, and then rented and sold them, so Zhao Chen and the others were able to rent such houses in one go.
Multiple connected yards.
This house is not very shabby.
The owners of those houses were not very poor originally.
They probably lost money in business.
In Liangzhou City, many city people are doing business.
Some people have become rich, and some have lost money in business.
People are bankrupt.
Erniang and the others lived in a small courtyard with some female members of the Zhao family.
A group of women sat together all day picking cashmere and chatting.
It was not difficult to pass the time.
After a while, Er Niang and the others discovered that some local poor people were really poor.
As long as they paid a small amount of food, they could find some women and children to help pick cashmere.
Er Niang thought that if she could leave the work of picking cashmere and spinning wool to others, then she and Peng Er would be able to devote more energy to knitting sweaters, and naturally earn more, so they In a nearby residential area, after being introduced by someone, I found a few women to come over and help pick cashmere.
The cashmere resources here are quite abundant.
Although it is summer, there is still a lot of cashmere wool on the market.
A lot of the wool among them has just been transported from the depths of the grassland recently.
It takes several months to go back and forth from here to the depths of the grassland.
The wool collected at the beginning of spring has been stored until now.
It was not surprising at all to be transported to Liangzhou City.
After Er Niang and the others hired people to pick cashmere for a period of time, a group of cashmere merchants came from Chang'an City.
They were in a hurry and offered a relatively high price.
Er Niang thought about it, and they wanted to be here anyway.
If you live here for a long time, the cashmere resources in this place are so abundant, so you might as well resell the cashmere you have on hand, and then continue to look for wool at a suitable price and come back to pick it yourself.
After this batch of cashmere was resold, they made a lot of money after deducting the original purchase cost and the cost of hiring workers.
After getting a taste of making money, Luo Erniang continued to buy wool and hired people to sort it.
She was also very generous to the poor Liangzhou people.

Although everyone said that as long as they could fill their stomachs, it would be fine.
Er Niang still insisted on providing better food for these people.
At the beginning, everything was fine, but gradually, Er Niang and the others discovered that something was wrong.
The problem was first discovered by Peng Er.
The cashmere picked out for several days was relatively small, and she suspected that someone had stolen it.
Er Niang thought for a while, and it might be because the batch of wool they recently purchased was of poor quality and had a relatively low cashmere content.
As a result, after a period of time, the cashmere they received every day became less and less, but the amount of unsorted wool consumed did not decrease much.
Now even Luo Erniang felt that there might be thieves among the workers.
Erniang and the others told Zhao Chen about this matter, and then Zhao Chen gave them an idea to catch the thief.
The next day, those people came to work, and Erniang and the others were as usual.
They didn't mention the lack of cashmere at all, and didn't say anything unnecessary.
After work, everyone walked out of the yard.
The second mother hurriedly stopped them and said that everyone was working very hard during this period and she would invite them out for dinner today.
During the meal, the two mothers even persuaded these people to drink some wine.
After they were full, they said they would take them to a public bathhouse to take a bath.
At this time, these people had lost all vigilance.
A group of people happily went to the bathhouse.
Then while they were taking a bath and scrubbing themselves, Er Niang and Peng Er went to the front hall and told the bathhouse owner about this.
After successfully getting the clothes of the hired workers, Erniang felt as if she had been hit in the head with a stick after rummaging through them.
There were about ten hired workers in total, and seven of them had cashmere hidden in their clothes.
