Chapter 74 Digging Out the Spring



All day long, Wang Yi saw Mosin running back and forth in the fields.

He sometimes helped sow seeds, sometimes helped water and fertilize, and was busy until he was sweating profusely.

At noon, everyone was eating black steamed buns by the field. He ate with relish and played with Qubing. He followed Qubing around all day, calling him "Seventh Brother".

The effect of the enlightenment pill was very good. After only one day, one could feel that Mosin had changed a lot. He could answer questions fluently and react much faster. However, he would occasionally speak with the same accent as the people in Yequpo, which sounded a bit out of place, but it made Wang Yi feel very relieved.

These two days were not wasted.

Uncle Sun also followed him to the fields.

This large piece of land for growing autumn vegetables has been planted for more than half.

I estimate that all the planting will be completed in three to five days.

The Li family next door was once the village chief of Yeqingpo. Now their tenant farmers have built a small mud house.

Now he is still drying mud bricks in front of and behind his house. This small house is just for temporary residence, and he has to build another row of large houses.

They were a family of four, consisting of three sons and an old couple. Unlike the farm which had already been built by people sent by Zheng Yeheng, they had to build it themselves.

As for the farm, the foundation has been built these days. A wall of the first brick house has been built. Once the foundation is laid, the house will be built quickly.

Wang Yi came to the place planned to be the medicinal field behind the farm, which was the half-acre medicinal field she planted with her own hands.

All the small medicinal seedlings have grown up, swaying in the breeze, and their leaves are tender and full.

She watered the plants as usual, then carried the bucket from the river, nearly breaking her arm as she walked here. Because of the difficulty in getting water, Wang Yi even began to wonder if she should use her space to secretly buy some of the mountain spring water that the wealthy families in the city drank.

She also thought about cheating by filling the space with river water, but it was hot now and the water evaporated quickly, leaving only a trace of river water. This water had to be kept for the military camps, farms, and tenant farmers to use together, and would often come into conflict with others, so Wang Yi didn't want to use too much of it.

If the spring water was collected into the space and the river was cut off, it would be a big problem. She couldn't just think about herself. The river water that was previously collected into the space had long been used up.

Suddenly I looked up and a system prompt page popped up.

"Random mission has been triggered!"

"Dig a pond five meters wide and three meters deep within a 500-meter radius. Reward: A spring of naturally flowing mineral water."

spring?

Is there a spring here?

Just at this moment, Zheng Yeheng walked over hesitantly.

After being reminded by Hong Jiu, he realized that he had indeed been causing trouble for Wang Yi, and he felt a little guilty.

So after lunch, I ran over quickly and wanted to talk to Wang Yi.

Especially since he had already sent the princess and the divorce letter back to Kyoto. The emperor had granted the marriage back then, and now he had to decide the divorce.

Although the imperial edict had not been issued yet, the divorce was definitely a done deal, and he always wanted Wang Yi to know.

Just as he arrived here, he saw Wang Yi coming over with a shovel and a basket. Mo Xin, Li Qubing, Sha Jie, and Lan Miao all surrounded Wang Yi and took turns digging the soil.

"What are you doing?"

"Greetings, Your Majesty. We are digging a hole!"

Lan Miao replied and continued to walk out carrying the soil.

Silly Sister now became the main force in digging the hole. She swung the shovel in a round shape, and her movements were smooth without any lag. She quickly dug out a layer of new soil.

"Why do we need to dig?" Zheng Yeheng was puzzled. This place was not within the farm's planning area, so there was no need to build a foundation. Even if they did dig a foundation, they wouldn't need a group of women.

"I want to dig a small pond to store water. My Lord, please don't get dirty. Take care of yourself."

Zheng Yeheng clearly saw the words "Don't block the way" on her face.

"I'll call a few people to help you."

With a wave of his hand, Hong Jiu immediately ran to the military camp and shouted, and more than a dozen strong young men came.

Wang Yi was immediately happy. With these guys here, it would only take half a day to dig a big hole.

So she looked at Zheng Yeheng with appreciation, and Zheng Yeheng's mouth corners curled up slightly in pride.

Unfortunately, there were so many people present today that he couldn't say anything.

Zhao Wu built a furnace nearby because the military camp had given him a long-term order to make some metal objects on the spot every day.

There are some crude metal traps, iron fences, etc.

The weapons are all of national unified standards, so it is not his turn, but Zheng Yeheng can use the existing orders to tie him up next to the iron furnace.

Even if Zhao Wu wanted to resist, he couldn't, because the order was sent through the city lord. He was the only large-scale blacksmith shop in the city, and there was nothing he could do if he couldn't assign these jobs to others.

So, in order to see Wang Yi every day, he moved the iron stove here, and whenever he could, he would show his face in front of Wang Yi. For business, it can be said that it can avoid the need for back and forth transportation, which is reasonable.

In order to dig out the spring quickly, Wang Yi bought a batch of shovels, and Zhao Wu sent people to the city to get them to ensure that there would be no delay.

After returning to his residence, Wang Yi ran to the tent used to store food and quickly took out a dozen large watermelons.

They are all fresh and tender with water droplets. When you poke them gently with a knife, they will crack open with a snap. Only a few white lines of skin are revealed. Inside the bright red flesh, there are a small number of black seeds evenly distributed. It is incredibly beautiful.

This was the first time Wang Yi cut the watermelon in the space. She thought about it and took out ten more, leaving some for her family.

The excuse was easy to make, just say that I met a mobile melon vendor and he left half a cart of melons with melons.

Anyway, there is food to eat, so no one will ask too many questions.

Wang Yi first cut a piece of melon heart, which was crispy, refreshing and sweet!

Then he arranged the cut watermelons in a large basin, stood by the field and called out, and the whole family came running back. Wang Juanhua and Meng Cuilan cut the watermelons, Zhao Xueya and Huang Yuer helped pass them around, and the family happily began to eat.

Sure enough, the boss asked where the melons came from. After hearing Wang Yi say that he met a melon farmer, he never asked again.

After cutting another large basin, Wang Yi called Lao Liu Liugen and asked him to carry the large basin to dig the hole.

The young men here have actually already dug more than half of the project. It's getting dark, and they're afraid they won't be able to dig out any water today.

"This melon has a thin, crispy, and sweet rind, unlike any I've eaten before. Does Qingdong City have any new varieties of watermelon?"

Hong Jiu was only concerned with eating and kept shaking his head.

He follows the prince around all day long, so he doesn't care about these things.

Wang Yi asked everyone to take a break and eat melons, while he jumped into the pit and looked around.

Suddenly, she saw a piece of moist land in a corner.

So I called out to Silly Sister.

"Come on, Nier, dig here!"

Silly Sister dug hard with a shovel, and instantly a stream of water vapor mixed with soil gurgled out.

"Auntie, Auntie! Water is coming out! There's water coming out here?"

"Out of the water?"

Zheng Yeheng put down the watermelon and ran over in two steps.

He looked at the gushing springs and said in surprise, "You actually dug out a spring from such a shallow pit?"
