The ground tide in autumn is soft and the soil is soft. With nearly 300 laborers, in just one month, the canals three feet above the ground were piled up. Although it took a lot of effort to lay deep tiles more than one foot wide and one foot deep in the canal. However, by the beginning of September, these canals more than three miles were still built.

Compared with canals, windmills are relatively simple. Unlike traditional vertical eight-san windmills, although this kind of windmill has many advantages such as universal wind, it is relatively low in efficiency. Therefore, Shi Yiwen chose a wooden cloth windmill with a horizontal rotation shaft, which is a Dutch-like windmill. According to the drawings provided by Shi Yiwen, it took more than a month for the carpenters in the village to build a wooden windmill tower worth more than ten meters high. It was not until the canal was almost completed five or six days after it was completed, and it took a day to complete the installation. When the huge foliage surface of the car was pulled up, the windmill drove the water dragon under the wind, and the keel water dragon immediately flew and turned, and the water in the river was lifted up. When the brick-built water tank, a splash of water splashed, and the water flowed along the water tank and along the pottery sink.

"My God, that's OK!"

Everyone was already shocked and stunned on the spot. They used water dragons to pick up water, but women were trampling on water dragons at that time, and the water was lifted up as soon as the windmill turned.

"Oh, look, the water flows so fast. In the future, the land in our Shitaizhuang will be irrigated."

After a while, with the cheers of the crowd, people were about to run back to their own fields to release water. In the end, Liu Yu persuaded everyone and asked Zhao Si and a few supervisors to follow the rules of the past, line up with the ground far and near, water the distance first, and take turns to feed the fields.

Of course, the tenants in the village did not forget to thank the boss. They knew better than anyone else that how much more grain can be collected after the dry land becomes irrigated land, so they are naturally grateful to the boss. If the boss was just the boss and was not much different from the Guanzhuang Zhuang Zhuang, then their feelings for the boss have now undergone completely different changes.

Looking at the gratitude on the faces of the merchants and the trust they had never had before, Shi Yiwen said lightly.

"Thank you all for a while now. Today the canal has been built. From now on, our village will no longer have to rely on the weather for a meal. Today, the village will have a flowing table, and all households will come."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Yu knew why the young master did this. As a "outsider" who had just come here, the young master has been winning people's hearts in his way.

Now, this person's heart has finally been won over by the young master.

People's hearts are very subtle, and sometimes some actions always get unexpected rewards.

Shi Yiwen could feel this change, and Wu Cai could also see it. He couldn't help but say on the way back to the house from the river.

"Young Master, this only cost a few hundred taels of silver, and it's all the best for everyone. From now on, Shitaizhuang will be almost Shijiazhuang."

The cost of building a canal is not high. After all, pottery tiles are not valuable. There are thousands of acres of irrigated land. Just the extra grain can be collected, so people can get back to their original state. But what about people's hearts? Now the hearts of the people in this farm have almost been caged back by the young master. After understanding the links, Wu Cai's eyes at the young master were also changing.

His compliments made Shi Yiwen laugh, and just said something casually.

"I saw that there was an open space by the river. I turned around and installed a wind mill there. When irrigation was needed, it would be used to grind the surface when watering and irrigation was not needed. In the future, grinding the surface would save a lot of effort."

There are some things that you have to continue to work hard. This way, you can’t spend a lot of money and win over the hearts of people. It’s always right to do a few things that can make profits and win over the hearts of the people.

Even if it was a mat, it would not cost much money. When Shi Yiwen returned to the house, Yunniang had already called more than a dozen women, several village heads built several large stoves not far from the yard, and hot water was boiled in a few big pots. However, in just half an hour, the food was ready.

The food of the village households is not very particular. The rice is full of sorghum, cabbage is stewed with pork, and radish is enough. This is just a meal. As for the wine, it is a hot sorghum wine.

Although the food was extremely simple, everyone still looked happy. The yard with blue bricks in front of the main house was originally a place to collect rent. Now every household has brought tables and benches and even brought their own dishes and chopsticks. After all, it is not necessarily true that the main house has so many bowls and chopsticks. Of course, many people brought the largest bowls and chopsticks in the house, but they thought about putting a big bowl after eating.

The children were eating meat and vegetables happily, and the men sat there eating meat, drinking wine, and smilingly talking about the benefits of the owner of the house, and of course they were also looking forward to the good days in the house in the future.

However, it is inevitable that everyone will mention the fact that the boss asked everyone to grow vegetables. Unlike previous doubts, some people's views have begun to shake.

"Old Sun, you grow vegetables all year round and sell vegetables in the city. How many months do you think that cabbage can be stored?"

"No one can tell you this. Cabbage can grow in winter. I may have been put on a few months of vegetables. I have never heard of it..."

"But if there isn't, why would the boss say that?"

Listening to everyone's words, Shi Yiwen just smiled and occasionally picked up the wine to toast the older elderly people in the village.

"East, boss!"

Just as Shi Yiwengang had drunk wine with several old men in the village, a rough voice suddenly came from his side. When he turned around, he saw a burly middle-aged man walking over with a wine bowl.

"I, I'm honoring the boss' wine. The boss's business is authentic. With water on the ground, everyone can have a full meal. I remember the kindness of the boss..."

Looking at the handsome smiling face of the man, Shi Yiwen can almost call him many people's names when working on the construction site these days. This person is Fang Zhi, who is in his forties. He joined his relatives to join the village more than ten years ago. He heard that he had served as a soldier.

"Uncle Fang is polite. There are too many harvests in the land, and I have also collected too many rents, right?"

As a new landlord, Shi Yiwen did not have the consciousness of "reducing rents and interest rates".

"You are kind to the boss, you are kind to the boss, it is natural to pay rent in this way..."

Fang Zhi smiled silly, and he picked up the wine bowl and said.

"I remember the kindness of the boss. This wine is my whole family to the boss."

With one person starting out, naturally there is another person coming to toast. Although they often drink a big bowl when they toast, Shi Yiwen just tasted it lightly, but he couldn't stand the number of people, and gradually he got drunk.

That night, the villagers of Shitaizhuang were eating sorghum rice, pork, cabbage, radish, drinking sorghum wine, muttering the boss's good times, and the man's punching wine echoed on the field. In this lively atmosphere, through those drunken eyes and looking at the lively appearance in the venue, Shi Yiwen burped and muttered...
