Xiao Yunze noticed with his sharp eyes that those troublemakers were in the same group as the one who had just taken the lead in speaking. This situation must have been deliberately arranged by someone.
Xiao Yunze pushed open the door, walked to Zhuque and whispered a few words.
Zhuque understood and took advantage of everyone's attention being on his master to quietly leave with a few yamen runners, preparing to stop the few people who were leaving quietly.
“Fellow villagers!”
Xiao Yunze was so imposing that everyone present suddenly quieted down.
"Daqing, you haven't given up on us!"
"Heaven hasn't given up on us!"
Xiao Yunze looked around at everyone present, "Goddess, you haven't given up on us!"
"As a member of the Daqing royal family, I assure you that there will be water tomorrow!"
"Really? Your Highness!" An old woman stood up excitedly, then quickly lay down again after realizing what was happening, sobbing, "My son, my son is so thirsty. He drank some oil and had vomiting and diarrhea yesterday. He's still lying in bed and can't get up!"
Xiao Yunze frowned and looked at the yamen runner behind him, "Go and get a doctor for this old man, and have him come to me later to collect the consultation fee."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman kowtowed excitedly, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! You are our family's savior!"
Xiao Yunze waved his hand to signal the bailiff to take the old man to find a doctor quickly.
"Fellow villagers, please disperse. I promise that there will be water tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has kept his promise! We are saved, we are saved!"
"Hahahaha, my wife finally doesn't have to cut her wrists and bleed anymore! She's saved, everyone is saved!"
"There's water! We're going to have water!" Some people even danced with excitement.
Xiao Yunze looked at the reactions of the people in front of him, his thoughts drifting away.
Last night, Miss Song told him that a large amount of water would arrive at the pharmacy tonight and asked him to go there early to transport the water.
He now only hopes that nothing goes wrong with Miss Song.
As soon as it got dark, Xiao Yunze appeared.
As soon as I entered the store, I was shocked by the scene inside.
Xiao Yunze smiled helplessly, "Miss Song, we've known each other for so long, but I'm still always shocked by the novelties in your world."
"These..." Xiao Yunze couldn't find the words to describe, "Containers? These containers are filled with water?"
Hearing this, Song Tingwan raised his eyebrows. "How is it? Not bad, right? It's all drinkable water, healthy and free of impurities!"
"Come, come, come." Song Tingwan disassembled a manual water pump and hurriedly called Xiao Yunze over to take a look. "This is what I have in my hand. It's called a water pump. Take a look at how I put it together. I can teach the people of Feng County later."
Song Tingwan patiently assembled it step by step, explaining as he went along, and soon, a simple water pump was assembled.
After putting the water pump into Xiao Yunze's hand, Song Tingwan began to poke the seal of the bottled water, and then inserted the hose into the water so that the water pump was tightly fastened to the mouth of the barrel.
"Such a simple water outlet device is now installed."
Xiao Yunze carefully watched every move of Song Tingwan, watching her assemble two seemingly completely unrelated things together.
"Miss Song, what next?" Xiao Yunze had questions that he never held back. "What's the function of this water pump? Can it press the water out of the bucket?"
Song Tingwan snapped his fingers and said, "How smart! Wait for me."
Xiao Yunze's eyes followed Song Tingwan all the time, watching her run to the water dispenser to get a disposable cup, then run back, then aim the cup at the water outlet and press the water pump hard a few times.
Immediately afterwards, a thin stream of water flowed out from the outlet, drawing a graceful arc and falling into the cup.
Xiao Yunze's eyes were full of novelty, "This..."
"Miss Song, you only inserted a tube in, and you were able to draw water out!"
“This thing is very good!”
Meeting the surprise and curiosity in Xiao Yunze's eyes, Song Tingwan also smiled, "Originally, I could just pour the water out and drink it, but this water pump is not expensive, and it's more convenient and hygienic, so I bought it."
"Miss Song." Xiao Yunze's brows were suddenly covered with a layer of worry. "This water must be very precious. This room full of water must have cost you a lot of money."
"It's not expensive." Song Tingwan waved his hand at him. "This bucket of water and a water pump only cost eight yuan and twenty cents. Four thousand sets of this configuration only cost a little over thirty thousand yuan."
"This bucket of water is enough for two people to drink for about half a month. I don't know exactly how many households there are in Feng County, so I've ordered 4,000 sets. If there are still people who haven't received some after you distribute the water tomorrow, please let me know."
Xiao Yunze frowned slightly, "Thirty thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot of money. Miss Song is very sorry for the expense. I will definitely compensate you in the future!"
Spend money?
Song Tingwan was confused.
How should she explain that thirty thousand yuan is really not a lot?
Song Tingwan considered her words carefully. "Let me put it this way. The currency here is different from yours. For example, those gold ingots, jewelry, porcelain bottles, and other things you gave me can all be exchanged for tens or even millions of coins here."
Facing Xiao Yunze's surprised gaze, Song Tingwan continued, "Look at these 4,000 barrels of bottled water in my store. The money I earned from selling those items is enough to buy dozens or hundreds of times more of these barrels. So it's actually very cheap."
Xiao Yunze suddenly understood and his understanding of Miss Song's world was refreshed. "So that's how it is."
Song Tingwan said he was tired and poured himself a glass of water. Thinking that he had to transport the water tonight and would not distribute it until tomorrow, he asked again, "Have you had dinner? I brought some food, do you want to eat with me?"
