Yesterday, the blacksmith came to deliver the goods. The whole village knew that Li Mengyue went to the town and spent money to have the blacksmith make seven big iron wheels.
At the beginning, some people said that Li Mengyue had no place to spend the money and just did useless things.
Nowadays, the control of iron products is relatively strict and the price is also very high. To be able to make seven large iron wheels on such a large scale, it must have cost a lot of money.
In the past, it would be normal to hear such voices in the village, and many people would agree with them.
However, things are different now. Li Mengyue's image in the hearts of the villagers is high and great, and it is not possible to ruin Li Mengyue's reputation with just a few random slanderous words.
Someone immediately stood up and started to scold the person, making the person blush and run away in shame.
Afterwards, everyone was discussing that having Li Mengyue make iron wheels must be useful, and very useful at that.
It's just that their cognitive abilities are limited, and they simply can't figure out what the big iron wheels are for.
I came to the river early this day, wanting to see how the wheels were installed and how they could be used to save time and effort when digging holes.
Li Mengyue walked to the edge of the crowd and saw everyone's passionate gazes. She did not stop and continued to move forward.
The surrounding villagers were very perceptive and quickly made way for Li Mengyue, allowing her to reach the river smoothly.
Seeing that Li Erniu, Li Bei, Li Yan and others had prepared the big tree and pulleys according to her requirements, she spoke without any nonsense and directed people to install them.
Since the pulley system is relatively simple to install, even the villagers who had never seen a pulley system before quickly understood how to do it after listening to Li Mengyue's explanation.
What's more, Carpenter Yang was also on site and understood it faster than others. It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to assemble a large pulley set.
"alright."
As soon as Li Mengyue finished speaking, the villagers at the scene looked at the pulley set standing tall and immediately applauded and burst into cheers.
"I was thinking it had to be Miss Li, who could come up with such an idea."
"Yes, yes, yes. I heard that it can be used to transport soil upwards. Although I don't know how to use it, I believe Li Mengyue."
"How about we give it a try?"
“Try it!”
"Yes, try it and see if it really works."
No one cared about Li Mengyue. Everyone picked up the tools they had prepared in advance and started digging on the designated ground.
Since everyone wanted to know whether the pulley system was actually useful, many villagers from other villages also took their tools and started digging holes.
With strength in numbers, they soon dug a two-meter-deep pit.
At the beginning, everyone could still throw the soil up. As the pit got deeper and deeper, people standing inside found digging the pit not difficult, but throwing the soil up was not easy.
"Ready, release."
After Li Mengyue gave the order, the person standing next to the pulley set hung the basket for transporting soil on the iron hook and sent it to the bottom of the pit. The person digging the pit then put the soil into the basket.
"Tuman."
The people on top of the pit operated the pulley system and soon got the basket on top without any effort.
"Ah! It really works."
"That's right. In the past, when digging a pit, people had to carry the soil up on their backs. Now, with the pulley system, it's easy to bring it up without any effort."
"The pulley system is so useful. I need to go back quickly and install the pulley system in our village. I also need to dig the pond as soon as possible and prepare to water it."
