Qin Yao clicked her tongue twice, "Then I'm afraid even twenty or thirty liang won't be able to fight it!"

"After all, not everyone can be like me and can afford such a big millstone alone. If you villagers do it yourself, it will take at least ten people to make such a millstone. If it is transported to the place, it will also take a lot of time to install. effort."

If you want to place a stone mill weighing 1,000 kilograms, it is not as simple as ten people moving it.

The stone is very brittle. If the millstone breaks accidentally, all the hard work will be in vain.

Seeing Wang Yu's expression of embarrassment, Qin Yao smiled helplessly, "Of course, Shunzi and I are familiar with each other. If the family is not too busy during this period, I can also go and help you carry it."

"But there is really no way. My husband-in-law is currently focused on studying. With so much work at home, I really can't leave."

"Third brother is studying?" Shunzi suspected that he was hallucinating, "Sister-in-law, you just said that third brother wants to study now?"

Qin Yao nodded, "It was just decided a few days ago. You know that your third brother can't do anything, so I just thought about letting him continue studying. Maybe he can gain something else."

Shunzi was shocked. Just like his third brother, he was so bad at reading!

However, he had also seen Qin Yao's ability. Seeing how determined she was, he didn't say anything disappointing. He smiled and asked Qin Yao to tell his third brother, don't forget him as a brother when you get rich in the future.

Qin Yao smiled at him, "No one will forget you, Shunzi."

If it brings her such a big business, she can earn at least five taels of silver.

With the huge price gap, if the people in Xiahe Village were not stupid, they would definitely choose to let her and Carpenter Liu do the job.

Seeing that Wang Yu was still hesitant, Qin Yao suggested that he go to Liu Carpenter's house to ask about technical problems.

If someone in their Xiahe Village could conquer it, then it would be enough for her and Carpenter Liu to earn some guidance fees.

Of course, these are polite words. In fact, Carpenter Liu is not stupid. The two of them have cooperated several times and have reached a tacit understanding.

Anyway, after listening to what Qin Yao just said about the power, bearings, principles, etc., Wang Yu already felt that this water mill was not a simple thing.

But in order to give the villagers an explanation, Carpenter Liu's family still wanted to ask.

Qin Yao deliberately said that he was still busy in the fields and asked Shunzi to take him to see Liu Carpenter.

Half an hour later, Shunzi ran to the field alone to find Qin Yao and told her, "Sister-in-law, Brother Wang and I have to go back to the village to discuss it with everyone, but from the looks of it, we may have to trouble you and Carpenter Liu then. .”

Qin Yao smiled and nodded, "Okay, come to me if you need anything."

"By the way, your third brother is also at home. He has talked about you several times. Why don't you come with me to your house and sit down?"

"No, no, I have to go back. I'll sit at my sister-in-law's house next time." Shunzi waved her hand and refused. He was really anxious to go back.

Moreover, he just said that the third brother was studying at home, how dare he disturb him.

Anyway, my sister-in-law can take charge of things, so why go to see my third brother?

Thinking of the meat buns she had eaten with Qin Yao before, Shunzi left with a smile.

Carpenter Liu also had a strange temper. He said that craftsmen have craftsman's rules and he would never tell others about his waterwheel skills.

Before coming, Wang Yu didn't think about this, so he offended people.

No, the two of them rushed back to Xiahe Village and gathered the people in the village to talk about the matter. At the same time, they excitedly told the villagers about the convenience and efficiency of the water mill. The big guy who was deeply tortured by the water mill wanted to go directly to it. Grab the water mill in Liujiacun.

Of course, robbing is impossible, it's just a joke. At the beginning of the year, even horse bandits could be driven away, but they were so ruthless that no one dared to provoke them.

"Then ask them to help our village do it. Every household can contribute some money, and it will save us some effort." A villager in Xiahe Village suggested.

Shunzi, who was standing in the crowd, immediately shouted: "That's right, there are so many of us, and it only costs two cents per family to share it. You haven't seen the water mill with your own eyes, but I think it's worth it!"

As he said that, seeing everyone looking at him, Shunzi added: "If my mother-in-law and mother-in-law can live their whole lives without having to suffer the torture, I can do it for just two taels of silver!"

As soon as he said this, someone immediately sneered at him: "If you can get two taels of silver out of your luck, I'll chop off my head for you!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter on the court.

Shunzi glared at the man angrily, "Why can't you afford it? If you sell me, it will still be worth twenty or thirty taels. The worst I can do is sell myself, but I also want to give my wife and I some relief!"

When it comes to being a fool, who can compete with Shunzi? He is shameless, and the villagers are too lazy to continue arguing with him.

What if he really took off his clothes and went to the ground and said he wanted to sell himself? What would this young lady and young wife look like?

Village Chief Wang shouted twice, asking everyone to quiet down, and asked everyone if they were willing to build this water mill together.

"Raise your hands if you're happy, and say something if you're not. Look where there are more people, and listen to that side."

The majority raised their hands, and Shunzi stepped on the stone and raised the highest. Everyone knew that this was someone who wanted to join in the fun, and there was no doubt for a moment whether he had any selfish motives.

Seeing that most people agreed to build a water mill, the village chief finalized the matter.

"Village chief, we have to hurry up. The autumn harvest is about to start. If we can build it before the autumn harvest, it will be easier this year." The Yang brothers urged.

They are hunters, and their family has just planted a few acres of thin fields and planted rice. People who are not used to doing such work in the fields really can't bear this.

Thinking about the pain of grinding, I just hope that the water mill will be built soon, so that I won’t have to suffer this pain.

This speaks to the aspirations of the villagers. They have spent money, and of course it will only be worth it if they receive equal feedback.

Therefore, the village chief asked his son Wang Yu to quickly go to Liujia Village to implement this matter quickly.

Since Carpenter Liu was unwilling to teach his skills to anyone else, they had no choice but to ask him to do it.

"By the way, if you want to make a millstone, do you still need to find the woman from the Liu family?" the village chief asked his son.

Wang Yu nodded, "Yes, Carpenter Liu also said that the waterwheel was actually a drawing drawn by Madam Qin for him. This thing actually belongs to Madam Qin's maternal uncle."

The village chief was not surprised that the water tanker came into Qin Yao's hands.

Because he had heard of Madam Qin's reputation, the village chief and clan chief of Liujia Village had mentioned it to him several times.

At the beginning of the year, Liujiacun encountered horse bandits. Thanks to this woman who was highly skilled in martial arts, she took the lead and drove away the horse bandits. She was a very powerful person.

So, the village chief told his son Wang Yu, "Then you go directly to Mrs. Qin to discuss how to build this comprehensive water mill, how long it will take, and how much it will cost."

Wang Yu accepted the order, but this time he did not bring Shunzi with him, but went with a prestigious uncle in the village, lest the villagers think that he had squandered everyone's money.
