Chapter 228 Take Action
On the other side, Su Mu and Ji Shiyan also received letters from the emperor.
"Mumu, what do you think?" Ji Shiyan put down the letter.
"Since His Majesty has sent the letter, this incident is likely to happen." The two men looked solemn.
"Let's send these people here out." Su Mu said.
After many people's efforts, they are nearing completion.
"That's what I think too. These people have experience and can handle these situations and matters better."
After discussion between the two, they unanimously decided to send these people out to provide guidance. They didn't have much left and it would be completed quickly, so there would be no need for so many people.
"We only need to leave one person behind." Leaving one person behind is also to inspect the final results, check for any unreasonableness, and areas for improvement.
"Okay, that's it."
After discussing it, the two people unanimously agreed to this approach.
"The Ministry of Industry has sent a message saying that the efficiency of waterwheel production has increased recently." Sumu and they have been exchanging letters these days. With active communication, their hands are almost rubbing sparks off, and with practice, the efficiency of making waterwheels has become faster, but after all, it still cannot keep up with the demand.
Ji Shiyan also wanted to ask his subordinates to help with the production, but the time was too short and those people could not spare the time to teach him. They also had to learn how to make the waterwheel from scratch. So he only sent one or two people to help and let them participate and learn from the experience.
Moreover, my father also wrote that in the future, when a large number of water wheels are needed, we need to find ways to improve the efficiency of the water wheel production process.
"Ji Shiyan, are there a lot of people in your workshop?" Su Mu suddenly asked this question.
"Yes." His workshop was still very large, and he was always making all kinds of farm tools needed.
"It may take some time to learn how to make a waterwheel as a whole, but you can quickly learn how to make its parts or cut the plates." Su Mu looked at Ji Shiyan meaningfully.
Ji Shiyan suddenly realized, "Mumu, what did you mean?"
"Let each worker be responsible for a part of the production and then assemble it. This can greatly speed up the process." In fact, this is also a method that has been used before, but everyone is confused by the situation and their thinking is trapped by various things.
"Yes! I'll send someone to deliver the message right away."
"Breeze."
"Master!" The master finally thought of him.
"You go and pass on the message, like this..." Ji Shiyan arranged various matters slowly and leisurely, and Qingfeng nodded repeatedly while listening.
"Yes, master, I'll go right away." After writing down all the master's words, Qingfeng used his lightness skills and disappeared in a few breaths.
The reason why these matters were handed over to the workshop under Ji Shiyan was because of Ji Shiyan's identity. His workshop was a state-owned enterprise after all. The people under him, even if they were just workers in the workshop, were more dexterous than others, had smart brains, were tactful, and knew what could and could not be said.
"If a disaster occurs, it is also important to comfort people's hearts." Ji Shiyan had known too many disastrous consequences caused by war and disasters. Natural disasters are terrible, but human nature is no less terrible.
“These need to be carefully planned.”
The two of them sat on opposite sides of the table, evenly matched, and discussed these issues seriously. Ji Shiyan did not choose not to discuss the issue with Su Mu or avoid her because of her identity and gender.
In his mind, no matter what status, no matter whether male or female, everyone is qualified to discuss these so-called national affairs. Those old-fashioned people who talk about this and that every day, who don't allow this person to be literate, who don't allow that person to discuss national affairs, are old-fashioned and conservative.
In his mind, Mumu's status and intelligence were even higher than those of the self-proclaimed wise counselors he had met.
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation, and they could even agree on some views and ideas about things. In fact, Su Muxia's ideas were more unique and his perspective on the problem was very novel, which made his thinking more active and sparked different ideas.
At the end of the conversation, the two looked at each other and smiled similarly.
After today, everyone started to take action.
The people sent by the emperor have also left Qingshan Village and headed for various villages and towns.
The people from Ji Shiyan also took action secretly.
When the outside world began to become active, the construction here in Sumu had been completed and all facilities were able to operate perfectly.
The reservoir, waterwheel and river together form a perfect network. The upstream reservoir can store water, which is then transmitted to various waterwheels through the guidance of the river. The waterwheels then transport the water to the vicinity of the farmland, forming a perfect closed loop.
In addition to the deep wells near the farmland, the problem of water shortage is currently not solved. The problem of irrigation for farmers has also been solved, the river water has also been cleared of silt, and the current water storage capacity has increased dramatically.
Su Mu, Ji Shiyan, the retired emperor and Su Dingguo started from the upper edge and walked down along the river and stream.
“This trickling water is so beautiful.”
The stream water is clear, with green trees growing around it and lush vegetation covering both banks. Occasionally, you can see small fish swimming around in the stream.
People step on the stones in the stream and feel the coolness of the water, which drives away the boredom and heat of summer.
Isn’t this the summer outdoor river tracing activity that was particularly popular in the past? Moreover, the scenery here is more beautiful, the air is fresh, and everything is a pollution-free natural landscape.
"Look, grandpa, there is a windmill we installed here!" Su Mu ran to the side of the windmill excitedly.
The windmill here is not a keel waterwheel, but a round drum wheel. The power of the waterwheel comes from the water flow. The inertia of the water flow drives the wheel axle to rotate, and the waterwheel begins to rotate.
Such a waterwheel can also take into account the functions of draining accumulated water, transporting water, irrigation, etc. Another point is that this waterwheel is very beautiful. When you look at it, you don’t feel that it is just a tool.
The wooden waterwheel blends perfectly with the surrounding scenery, forming a beautiful landscape.
"Mumu, this waterwheel is great!" The two old men came closer, wanting to get a close look at the waterwheel.
"Be careful." The stones in the stream were covered with moss and were very slippery.
"Hey, girl Mumu is still the best." After saying this, the emperor glanced at Ji Shiyan.
Well, Ji Shiyan was also helpless. His royal grandfather had been displeased with him recently and disliked his dithering. He also said that Mumu didn't understand his feelings at all and didn't know how he expressed his feelings.
"How can this waterwheel move by itself? It doesn't require any manpower or material resources?" the two elderly people asked this question.
"This waterwheel is powered by water. Grandpa, you can put your hands in the stream over here." Su Mushi wanted to learn from him.
