Chapter 406 It’s time to teach a lesson
A platform about half a meter long had been built on the river surface before today.
At this time, Wuyou was standing on this platform, directing the carpenters on the river bank to start assembling the waterwheel.
The wood used as the waterwheel support was all cut down by Wuyou himself when he went up the mountain.
Because the waterwheel is placed in water and is in contact with water for a long time, these wood and boards must be specially treated to make them durable.
Moreover, this waterwheel is very different from the one he made before in Wuyou Valley.
The waterwheel in his Wuyou Valley is small, and it is driven by falling water from a high place, so it can bring water upwards.
But now there is no water falling from a high place to drive the waterwheel.
So, he added a human-powered device to the waterwheel.
At the same time, other devices were added, which was why he was not completely sure.
Because this waterwheel actually requires a completely new design.
It’s a brand new design, who can guarantee that it will work?
…
Seeing Wuyou's serious expression, Lin Mo looked at Yan Shi and chuckled:
"Your great uncle is quite cute when he gets serious."
Yan Shi nodded in agreement:
"Sister Fairy, you are right.
But Sister Fairy, do you really believe in my great-uncle?
This waterwheel is a little different from the one in Wuyou Valley, so my uncle is so obviously worried. Do you really believe him?"
Lin Mo chuckled, "Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ.
I dare to use your uncle because I believe in his ability.
Besides, Wuyou's reputation is not exaggerated. If he really doesn't have this ability, do you really think Wuyou Valley is really Wuyou?"
It’s not that the mechanisms in Wuyou Valley are so powerful, but that everyone admires Wuyou, so they give him face and don’t attack Wuyou Valley by force.
Once we launch a forceful attack, regardless of sacrifice, there will be no place that cannot be conquered.
However, Wuyou was unlucky to meet Lao Xu and Murong.
These two people just happen to have some skills, and they are both people who don't play by the rules.
Seeing Yan Shi's worried look, Lin Mo couldn't help but reach out and rub his head:
"I heard you were involved in the design of this waterwheel. That's impressive."
Yan Shi smiled embarrassedly, "No, I didn't help much.
My uncle just let me participate and know about it, but in fact, all the work was done by my uncle. My uncle is really amazing! "
Speaking of this, Yan Shi's face was filled with pride.
"You are too modest." Lin Mo smiled:
"I've heard it all. It was you who came up with the idea of using manpower to drive the waterwheel.
When I say this, I think the young are to be feared! "
Shy when speaking.
"Sister Fairy, I'm really not that powerful. I was just talking nonsense, but my uncle said it's a good idea and we can try it."
Having said that, the shyness on Yan Shi's face faded away, replaced by a look of worry.
He was afraid of disappointing the fairy sister.
Although he and his great uncle made a small one for testing and it worked, they were not absolutely confident whether it would work when it was enlarged.
"Your uncle is right. This is a good idea and we can try it." Lin Mo said seriously:
“Yan Shi, you are really good.
You should be confident. Look at yourself, you lack the arrogance that a young person should have.
I have a feeling that you will be better than Wuyou in the future."
Yan Shi looked at Lin Mo with sparkling eyes. He nodded seriously and said, "Well, I will try my best to surpass my great uncle."
At this moment, Wuyou Zhaoyan, who was standing on a platform not far away, shouted:
"Yanshi, come and help."
For work like this, you have to participate in it yourself to understand the problems.
So Wuyou wanted Yanshi to participate, he didn't want Yanshi to just talk about it on paper.
Yan Shi looked at Lin Mo, and when he saw Lin Mo nodding at him, he walked towards Wuyou.
Xu Pingan, who was standing aside, looked at Yan Shi's back and couldn't help but sigh:
"Madam, Master Yanshi is really different from other children. He is hardworking, willing to work hard, and smart. It's really rare to see him like that.
In time, Young Master Yan Shi will surely become a sensation."
Lin Mo nodded in agreement.
Yan Shi bears the blood feud of the Yan family. If he wants to take revenge, he must make himself strong.
That's why he worked so hard to learn and absorb all kinds of knowledge, but he lacked hands-on ability.
But with Wuyou around, Wuyou will definitely let him do it himself.
Because of this, no one knows where Yan Shi will go in the future.
And Yan Shi is also a child with his own ideas.
At this moment, a cold snort came from the side.
"He's just a kid around ten years old, and you're already praising him to the skies. Be careful not to overpraise him!"
Lin Mo's face turned cold and she looked at Xu Ping'an who was standing beside her.
Xu Ping'an immediately understood what Lin Mo meant.
He immediately turned around and walked towards the other person, raised his hand and slapped him hard.
Bang!
The crisp sound of the palm tying was drowned out by the noisy noise nearby and did not alarm the fourth person.
"If you can't speak, I'll teach you." Xu Ping'an shook his hands with an indifferent look on his face.
Zhao Dashan, who was slapped by him, had a swollen left cheek.
It can be seen that Xu Ping'an slapped extremely hard.
Zhao Dashan was angry and wanted to lose his temper, but when he looked up and saw the coldness in the other person's eyes, he shuddered.
This guy is not easy to mess with!
He turned to look at Lin Mo beside him:
"You should control your servant. He actually went over you and hit someone. Shouldn't you teach him a lesson and let him know his place?"
"Lesson?" Lin Mo smiled:
"It's time to teach him a lesson!"
Zhao Dashan was delighted. He didn't expect that the woman would listen to him.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face.
Lin Mo's face was indifferent. "Ping'an, why don't you take action? How long are you going to wait?"
Xu Ping'an nodded, rubbing his hands as he walked towards Zhao Dashan with a malicious look on his face.
Idiot, you really think you are so shameless!
How could their young lady punish herself for a loser like him?
Zhao Dashan saw Xu Ping'an walking towards him and couldn't help swallowing:
"What are you doing? Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll call for help."
Xu Pingan grinned and punched him:
"Go ahead and shout as loud as you can.
I tell you, even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you."
“Ahhhh!”
…
At this time, Lin Mo had already walked towards the field beside him.
She didn't want to waste time waiting, so she took this opportunity to check on the growth of the corn.
When she arrived, someone was pulling weeds nearby.
It was a woman with a dozen children aged three to eight, and next to them was a pile of freshly pulled weeds.
Judging from the size of the weeds, they have just grown out not long ago.
The corn seedlings have grown to two or three inches tall, and fortunately there are seedlings in every nest.
It seems that the suggestion in the proposal is correct. Three to four seeds are really needed in each nest.
It is better to pull up the seedlings than to transplant them.
At first, Lao Song and others thought it was a waste to put three or four seeds in one nest.
At this moment, the woman next to her also noticed Lin Mo.
She stood up nervously and greeted Lin Mo.
It was only through talking with her that Lin Mo found out that she was Lao Song's daughter-in-law.
The children next to them are theirs and other people's.
Lin Mo frowned:
"The sun is so strong, why don't you let them stay home? What if they get heatstroke?"
Old Song's wife looked shy and shook her head:
"Young Madam, you're worrying too much.
These children have grown up running in the fields, and this little bit of sun won't cause them to get heatstroke at all.
They can't sit still at home, so I brought them out to pull weeds.
After all, they will have to take over the responsibilities of their parents in the future, so being exposed to crops from a young age will only benefit them."
"Besides, they all grew up in the countryside and are not so pretentious." Old Song's wife shook her head.
These children will have to deal with crops in the future, so it is a good idea to teach them about crops in advance, so that they will not be unable to distinguish between grains and become lazy in the future.
Lin Mo frowned, looking thoughtful.
Her silence made Old Song's wife feel uneasy.
She thought Lin Mo disliked her bringing the child out to work, so she said cautiously on the spot:
"Young Madam, please don't be angry. I will take them back now. I won't let them work anymore."
Lin Mu came to her senses and realized that her stern face had frightened the other person. She shook her head:
"You misunderstood, I'm not angry, it's good to let the children do some work.
I was just thinking about other things and my mind wandered."
Lin Mu's eyes fell on these children, and a new thought came to his mind.
She is not so short-sighted.
She knew that if she wanted this place to become strong, it would not be enough for her family alone to become strong, but the people around them who followed them would also have to become strong, and they had to follow their lead!
And these children are very important and crucial!
If they waste their time on trivial things like weeding when they should be learning something, then they will have no successors, and how can their Xu family become powerful enough to be feared?
So, it’s time to build a school!
If not for anything else, then for them and the future of this place!
