    ¡­¡­

    When Li Chengqian walked halfway, he rolled up his sleeves.  .  First, 138 reading books

    Li Chengqian, who was originally dressed elegantly, had his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong little arms. He suddenly gained a more capable aura and lost half of his bookishness.

    He arrived at the boundary tree. The side of the tree that had been separated yesterday and belonged to the Wang family had been painted with lime. The one meter below the trunk was white. Looking at it this way, the trees on both sides were clearly distinct.

    This is really a good idea. The trees of the Wang family have been painted with lime. If people here in Huangzhuang want to occupy more land, it is impossible to get the lime off the trees. If the Wang family takes some lime and puts it on the trees in Huangzhuang,  Painting one or two trees makes it invisible.  But it's good enough that the people of Huangzhuang don't bully the people of Wangzhuang. How dare the people of Wangzhuang turn around and occupy Huangzhuang's land!

    Li Chengqian thought of this, smiled, and then saw more than a dozen farmers in Wangjiazhuang over there working enthusiastically by the river.  In the crowd, Li Chengqian saw the figure of Gui E, a mature woman.

    Seeing as if they were diverting river water to irrigate crops, Li Chengqian walked toward them.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

    "Master Li, welcome to our Wangjiazhuang!" Gui'e said with a smile.

    When she said welcome like this, she was asking why Li Chengqian came to Wangjiazhuang.  Li Chengqian didn't mind and smiled: "This is free time from work, so I can take a walk."

    "Oh!" Gui'e asked inquiringly: "I don't know what kind of work Master Li does in Huangzhuang. The crops are obviously not done by Master Li. Look at Master Li's exposed white arms.  Although he is strong, he doesn¡¯t look like a farmer. And the material of Master Li¡¯s clothes is much higher quality than ours!¡±

    Li Chengqian tried his best to temporarily disguise himself as a laborer.  Unexpectedly, the clothes betrayed him deeply.

    He smiled brightly and said: "I am a technician doing technical work. I used to work elsewhere, but now I am transferred here. Look at the smoke rising over there, it is me who has just directed the cement burning project.  I¡¯m here to take charge of this these days, and after I succeed, I will build a cement factory here!¡±

    Following Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers, Gui E looked at the courtyard of Huangzhuang, and sure enough, two puffs of smoke rose.  She was also particularly interested in the cement Li Chengqian was talking about and asked as if.  Li Chengqian told her about cement paving.

    Gui E has never heard of paving the road like this.  I was suddenly very curious about Li Chengqian, and felt that he knew so much.

    At this time, she remembered that the Imperial Manor had been assigned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince two or three months ago. Did the person who was transferred also work under the Crown Prince's name?

    During the Tang Dynasty, apart from studying and becoming an official, craftsmen had the most status.

    For a time, Gui E respected Li Chengqian even more.

    While she was thinking wildly, Li Chengqian pointed at the farmers working by the river.  Asked: "What is this?"

    A dozen farmers dug a ditch to reach the river, but they did not dig into the river and connect it to the river.  Then the farmers ran to the river to fetch water and poured it into the ditch.  The water in the ditch slowly flows into the crop fields.

    "Why don't you dig a ditch into the river? Wouldn't that save trouble?" Li Chengqian said.

    "Pfft" Gui E laughed, and then looked at Li Chengqian like a layman.  Said: "If you drive into the river, there is a risk of the embankment bursting. And when the flood season comes in a while, the river will flood in. The crops are not guaranteed, and even the crops may be flooded."

    Oh, I see.

    "But relying on manpower to carry water is not a good idea!" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said.

    Gui'e looked at the layman with a more glaring look, her lips curled up, not knowing what to say.

    "Yes!" Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said.

    With this sentence, Gui'e's eyes widened and she looked at him curiously.

    "Water windmill." Li Chengqian said.

    Gui'e became curious and asked: "What is a water windmill, Master Li?"

    "A water windmill is you ask someone to bring you paper and pen, and I will draw it for you. This is a wheel-like thing. If you put it in the river, it can automatically lift water for you. You don't need your farmers to carry buckets of water.  Fetch water." Li Chengqian said.

    "Can you carry water without anyone?" Gui E didn't quite believe it.

    It¡¯s like the look on someone¡¯s face when someone who uses a keyboard phone hears a touch screen phone for the first time.

    "Paper!" Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and urged.

      Gui'e bit her lip and asked the maid Fang Niang beside her to get paper and pen.

    After bringing the paper and pen, Li Chengqian found a large flat stone and started drawing.

    The water windmill of the Ferris wheel was drawn on the paper. Li Chengqian showed it to her and said: "Use bamboo and wood to make this water windmill. Place it in the river. When the river flows, it will push the water windmill.  When the water windmill turns, the slanted bamboo tube here can move the river water, and then turn it here, and the water pours here. A water tank is made here, so that the water can be diverted into the ditch! Isn't this  Can we save people?"

    Gui'e was stunned. Listening to Li Chengqian's words, this water windmill can really bring water in without manpower!

    "What if it's a rainy day, and the water in the fields has to be drained out, but the water windmill still brings water in?" Gui'e is an experienced landowner after all. Thinking of this question, she immediately asked.

    "Make a plug and plug these bamboo tubes that divert water, and the water will no longer be diverted!" Li Chengqian pointed to the water windmill and said.

    With such a reminder, Gui'e immediately thought of it, let out a cry, and then her face showed surprise.

    "I'll ask the carpenter to make it!" Gui'e took Li Chengqian's drawing, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she paused, pursed her lips, and said in embarrassment: "Master Li, you are a craftsman in the imperial village. This  It¡¯s hard for us to take your stuff"

    Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "No, I used your paper and pen and ink to draw it, not from Huangzhuang."

    Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Gui'e felt that Li Chengqian's words were funny and he was selfless for the good of her family.  Gui E felt much better.  She thanked Li Chengqian for being a village official who came to Datang, and then asked Fang Niang to call her housekeeper.

    Soon the fat old man ran over.

    This housekeeper¡¯s surname is Zhou.  Hearing Gui'e call him Uncle Zhou, it seems that he has the landlord's wife's trust.  But look at how fat he is eating.  He looks the same as Fatty Zhu. It seems that this housekeeper is a good errand. Whoever takes the job will gain weight.

    Gui E asked Uncle Zhou to find a carpenter, and then started working on the open space outside their village.

    There are many technical details of the water windmill, and Gui E politely invited Li Chengqian to come over.

    The hot water and windmill project began. When the water and windmill was 90% completed, Fatty Zhu ran over from there.

    Gui E couldn't help but become nervous.

    The craftsmen from Huangzhuang came to Wangjiazhuang to work. This was unreasonable. Fatty Zhu saw it.  Then wouldn¡¯t Master Li be hated by Butler Zhu?

    This has harmed Master Li, and Gui'e feels bad about it. Seeing Butler Zhu getting closer and closer, she becomes more and more nervous. How can she explain this to Butler Zhu, or how can she make Li Chengqian innocent?

    When Li Chengqian saw Fatty Zhu, he continued to instruct the carpenter on what to do.

    Gui'e thinks that Master Li has magical skills, but his brain is a little hard to use, and the boss is here.  Why don't you stand up and pretend to be here just to watch?

    When Fatty Zhu arrived, Gui E walked over and said to Fatty Zhu with a smile: "Butler Zhu. Why do you have time to come to my Wangjiazhuang? Are you like your Master Li, who came to watch us make water windmills?"  Of?"

    "Entertainment show" she said.  Li Chengqian was defined as coming to watch the fun or stealing from his master.

    Fatty Zhu nodded politely to Gui'e and said, "Oh. Hello Mrs. Wang, I'm here to invite Master Li!"

    Hear this.  Gui E was a little surprised when she saw that Fatty Zhu did not blame Li Chengqian, but was very polite. Which family would not be angry when they saw a craftsman helping others?

    But seeing that he was really not angry but respectful, she felt relieved.

    Li Chengqian stood up and asked, "Steward Zhu, what can I do?"

    "Master Li really doesn't understand the ways of the world. Can you address this boss by his surname?"  If her housekeeper didn't call her Madam directly, but Mrs. Wang, she would definitely slap her in the face.

    But Fatty Zhu was not angry at all and said to him: "Master, the cement you mentioned seems to be burned. Is it convenient for you to go back and take a look?"

    These words were polite, not like instructing the servants, but rather as if they were asking for help, which surprised Gui E greatly.

    Especially Fatty Zhu, the housekeeper of the Imperial Manor, who is famous for her arrogance. I have never seen her like this.

    Li Chengqian originally wanted to wait until the windmill was completed before going back, but this cement was an important thing to him.

    He decided to pave a cement road for Cheng Wenxiao when she came back.

    And he¡¯s going to do it hereWith a cement factory, you can visit Gui'e at any time, so you can't delay now.

    He nodded to Fatty Zhu and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

    He looked at Gui E, who nodded and said, "I'll send Master Li off right now!"

    Li Chengqian smiled.

    Watching Li Chengqian turn around in five steps, Gui'e felt that Master Li seemed to have the same thoughts as many men she had met before, and her face sank.

    But when I saw the water windmills still being installed on the ground and the lime-painted trees on the slope in front, I hesitated.

    In the end, she was really reluctant to part with the benefits she gained. She decided that in order to make her family better, she would give in to him and not offend him, but she would not act to get close to him or let him get his way.

    Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know that Gui E had made such a decision in his heart, and this decision obviously made Li Chengqian feel closer to Gui E.

    When he arrived at the Imperial Mansion, he saw that the limestone that had been burned all morning had turned into powder. It was gray in the big pot, and it was clearly the color of cement!
