She thought of building a waterwheel downstream of the flood discharge so that farmland could be irrigated.
Wu Qing took out the drawing given by Tong Wen Yao from his arms and went to explain it to Wu Dagen. Tong Wen Yao and Tong Bo went to take a look at the flood discharge site. There was a small path leading to that place. There were a lot of bamboos beside it, as well as some cut bamboos, a small part of which had been put into the lake to soak.
The carpentry work needs to be completed within half a month, so the bamboo can be soaked for a longer period of time. She plans to try making a small batch first, and then make a large batch after success. However, they still need to cling to the county magistrate's thigh! Only in this way can it be the best.
Others will only help you if there is a benefit involved. This has always been Tong Wen Yao's way of dealing with people.
She came to the other side of the lake. This side was obviously much lower than other places, so the water also flowed down from here. If you look at it from below, it looks more like a waterfall flowing down. However, looking down from Tong Wen Yao's position, there is also a small lake underground, but it is not as big as here.
She looked up and around to see where the water in the lake came from, but she guessed that there was a relatively large underground river that was constantly replenishing the lake water, so there was a constant flow of river water, and it would even surge on rainy days.
This gate is rather crude. There is little water in the lake now, so no water is released. When the lake water rises to a certain level, the water pressure will push to both sides, and then the gate will slowly open. When the lake water drops to a certain level, the gate will close again.
The whole process does not rely on manual labor, but relies on water pressure to achieve water discharge!
There were still a few people cutting bamboo in the bamboo forest. When the bamboo fell, it made a rustling sound, and then the bamboo around it also swayed. After the last wild boar hunting, there were very few wild boars invading the back mountain.
Xiaoxue jumped among the bamboos, and sometimes went down to the lake to play with the bamboos soaked in the water. These days, she ignored Xiaoxue and wanted to follow her whenever she went out. If Tong Wenyao could understand animal language, she would definitely know that Xiaoxue actually wanted to enter the space.
Tong Bo looked around and said, "Sister, how did you learn papermaking?"
Tong Wenyao's heart skipped a beat. She had previously told Mother Qian about traveling to other worlds, so how could she tell her second brother about it this time? Tong Bo paid attention to his surroundings and continued, "Actually, I've always had a question in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask."
Tong Wenyao glanced at Tong Bo, who had a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Second brother, tell me, I'm your sister. If you have any problems, tell me and maybe I can solve it!"
He said word by word, "Since your exile, your personality has changed drastically. After that, when you went to the county town, you inexplicably had money to buy things, money to buy food, and even so many things."
Tong Bo's voice trembled slightly, but he forced himself to continue. "As the ancients said, a drastic change in temperament can be caused by a major setback in life or by a possession by a wild spirit or monster. I think..." He mustered his courage again and said, "I want to ask which one you are."
Tong Wenyao didn't know what to say to him after hearing this, so she just asked, "Second brother, which one do you want me to be?"
Tong Bo forced a smile and said, "I want to know if she is doing well now. Although I didn't like her sister very much before, and sometimes I wanted to give up, I was her brother for a few years after all."
Tong Wenyao pointed to the water flowing below and said, "Second brother, do you know where this water will flow? It flows out of this lake, then flows to Cangzhou, and then flows to the sea. This is a river that will not turn back. If you ask me why my temperament changed drastically, when my father died in the battle at Ancang Mountain, what was the current emperor doing? He was having an affair with concubines in the harem. When they accused my father of greed and recklessness in order to give an explanation to the people, those who refuted my father were exiled. The 100,000 lives lost at Ancang Mountain were due to the current emperor's incompetence and suspicion. That's why my father died tragically while chasing the enemy! It was him! He turned a blind eye and let the regent kick my father when he was down. Even after exiling him, he issued an imperial decree asking us to be grateful. How can they deserve it!"
Tong Wen Yao spoke her heart out in a hoarse voice. She had buried these things for a very long time. When sharing the memories with the original owner, the original owner also knew that she was actually a book. She couldn't believe it at the time, and Tong Wen Yao couldn't believe that she had traveled through a book either.
The physical, mental and emotional state of the two had long been intertwined, but she could still tell them apart before. However, after the original owner left, she became more and more integrated with the body, and she also put herself in the shoes of Tong Wen Yao. The truth in the book had always been buried in her heart, and she dared not say it out.
Her tears dripped onto Tong Bo's hands. It was the first time he saw his sister crying so hard. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry." Tong Bo kept apologizing. He blamed himself for asking his sister. No matter who his sister was, she was so good to the family. On the way to exile, she went to the woods to catch pheasants and went to the river to fish. Coming here, she supported the family. No matter if she was a mountain spirit or a monster, if his sister hurt them, she would have been killed long ago.
Seeing her second brother's bewildered look, she smiled and said, "Second brother, I'll tell you something in secret. Actually, when I was unconscious, my soul went to a paradise. There are many things there that I have never seen."
Seeing Tong Bo's curiosity, she said, "It was an enlarged bird with many people sitting inside. I thought it was very novel when I saw it. There was also a car that looked like a beetle, but it could run without being pulled by horses or cows."
"Brother, I know some rare things. I'll tell you when I'm done."
She decided to make a telescope and a bicycle, but the bicycle tires were made of rubber, and this kind of rubber was only available in the south. However, she could make a wooden bicycle, which could also be pedaled, but it would not be fast.
I had also told Qian's mother this story at the time. If my second brother asked my mother about it, I would give the same story, so I wouldn't be afraid of being exposed.
After looking at it, the two walked back. Wu Qing had already explained everything to Wu Dagen. Tong Wenyao asked, "Uncle Qing, besides Uncle Dagen, is there anyone else in the village who can do carpentry? I want to make something."
After hearing this, Wu Dagen said, "Koizumi can do it. As long as it's not complicated, he can do it. You can ask him to do it."
"Okay, thank you very much, Uncle Dagen." Before leaving, Wu Qing said, "After you finish chopping bamboo tomorrow, help Dagen with the carpentry. Try to finish it within ten days. I'll have someone bring food to you every two days, so just focus on your work."
When everyone heard this, they all shouted, "Okay."
Wu Qing continued, "If you do it well, it will bring honor to your family. Keep your mouth shut and don't let your wife find out. Otherwise, you will be punished! In serious cases, you will be kicked out of the family tree."
Several people looked at each other and immediately said, "Uncle Qing, we will never do that."
