Chapter 117 Free Installation

The "Crane Crane Incident" continues to ferment, and the Guantian where the waterwheel is installed has an endless stream of people coming to watch every day.

However, on the tenth day, all official fields around Hexian County were equipped with waterwheels. Seeing the popularity of waterwheels, the people couldn't help but become excited.

"This 'Crane' is so good! It would be great if it could be installed in our village!" A white-haired old woman came to the city today specifically to see this legendary 'Crane'. Now she saw it with her own eyes.

After arriving, I finally believed that this object was indeed a divine object as rumored, and I couldn't help but sigh as I looked at the 'Heavenly Car'.

"Yeah! I didn't expect to see this thing in my lifetime!"

"Didn't you read the notice?"

"What notice?"

"It's the notice at the gate of the county government office!"

"The county boss said that he would help every village install this 'overhead crane' for free! But the notice said that the 'overhead crane' is called a waterwheel!"

When the people around him heard the news, they were all in an uproar and were overjoyed.

"real?"

"It's absolutely true! Yesterday, a government official read the notice specifically!"

"You're talking nonsense! What I heard is not free! You have to pay half of the grain produced in the past three years!" The aunt with a bit of a sharp look immediately retorted.

"What the hell! Why isn't it free? Did the government ask you to pay for it? Will there be extra grain if you don't load the water tanker? The county government will only ask for half of the extra grain. From now on, when we farm, not only will watering be easier, but also watering will be easier.

Even if half of the extra food is left, why is this not free? How can this not be beautiful?" The man who was rebutted immediately replied.

"That's right! You think the county boss is taking advantage of you!"

"With your face, do you want to keep all the extra food? What about beauty? Why? Have you paid for the money to load the water tanker?"

"The county man helped us load the water tanker for free and only got half of the extra grain. He is really kind. Don't use the kindness of the county man as an excuse to slap your face on you! Bah! You are shameless!"

Most of the people still had a very upright outlook on life. Seeing that this woman was insatiable and showed no gratitude, they were immediately attacked by a group of people.

This mean-looking aunt, whose surname is Qian, is the wife of a butcher's shop. Her natal family is in Niyang Village. She loves to take advantage of others. People who know her as a person don't like to talk to her.

Aunt Qian, who had a sharp and mean face, was besieged by everyone at this moment. She couldn't stay any longer and cursed fiercely: "Bah! I'm a fake official, just for fools like you!"

After Aunt Qian said this unconvinced, she ran out of the crowd dejectedly, fearing that she would be beaten by everyone if she stayed any longer.

Aunt Qian felt that what she said was right. This county man was not open-minded at all in his work. If he wanted to give away something, he would give it away completely, and he would ask for half of the extra grain! The man who was an official had a lot of money in his family, so he loved to deal with poor people like them.

Home cares.

"Ignore her, she thinks everyone in the world owes her something! You are such a black-hearted and ungrateful thing!" A kind-hearted lady grabbed the young daughter-in-law who was about to catch up and argue with Aunt Qian, fearing that she

He had a conflict with Aunt Qian and suffered a loss.

The young daughter-in-law was pulled away. Seeing that Aunt Qian was running very fast, she stopped chasing her. She spat fiercely at Aunt Qian's back, turned around and said thank you to the kind aunt.

The young daughter-in-law listened to the gossip in the crowd for a while, grabbed an aunt who was eating melon seeds and watched the fun, and asked curiously: "Aunt Li, do you take the notice posted at the county government office yesterday seriously?"

Aunt Li is a well-known gossip. Her eldest son is working as a police officer in the county government and knows a lot of gossip. When the young daughter-in-law asked her for advice, her face showed a proud look: "Isn't that true? I will go to the county the day after tomorrow." Can’t you tell by looking at the yamen gate?”

"What happened at the county government office the next day?" The little daughter-in-law became energetic again.

"I heard from my son that County Magistrate Lin is going to sign a contract with the village chiefs for the free installation of this 'Crane' at the gate of the county government the day after tomorrow. He said that he will have the whole city to bear witness, and he will definitely live up to the people. !" Aunt Li stopped kneading melon seeds as she spoke, and the look of pride on her face became even more obvious. Her son was working as an errand in the Yamen, and he would not be treated badly when working under such a county magistrate who loves the people.

Magistrate Lin is really a first-class kind person. How come the common people didn't notice him in the past ten years or so? It seems that they were blind before.

It seems that major events are still needed to reveal the merits of each official, just like the magistrate of Kuxian County next door who was greedy for life and fearful of death, and he really deserved to die.

When the city was in turmoil, people like his son, who were in the public domain, would be dead if they showed up. Later, Hexian County was occupied by "General Chongtian", and her son hid here and there without being discovered. It was all thanks to the carefulness of the villagers. Covering up and providing shelter, she finally waited until County Magistrate Lin came to rescue the city with King Lu's troops and suppressed the bandits and persuaded them to surrender. Only then did her son, who was almost hiding like a gopher, be able to see the light of day again.

Now, County Magistrate Lin has come back and summoned those people from the government again, and their family can be considered safe enough to see the moonlight. If her son is alive and can return to the government office as an errand, he has to repay the kindness of the villagers in the past. Even if she helps, Aunt Li will not fail to help.

So, Aunt Li reminded her daughter-in-law: "Has the village chief of your natal village received the news? Let them come early, don't arrive late and be pushed to the back of the queue! There are so many villages, this 'sky train' "It looks like it will be difficult to build. If your village hasn't built it yet by the time spring comes, it will be a loss!"

The young daughter-in-law stopped watching the excitement and turned around and ran home: "Thank you, Aunt Li, for reminding me. I'm going to ask my man to take me back to the village. Let me know! When the current affairs are settled, I'll treat you to a good meal." of!"

Aunt Li looked at her daughter-in-law's back and shouted quickly: "Run slowly! What are you talking about? It's just a reminder to a fellow villager, it doesn't deserve a meal!"

The young daughter-in-law obviously had a fiery temper, and she disappeared after a while. I don’t know if she heard what she said next.

Aunt Li looked around for a moment, then looked away, and then looked at the excitement of the 'Crown Crane' with the people on her left and right, and chatted about a new topic.

"This 'Crane' is really a rare thing. It can turn like this without any effort and irrigate the highlands!"

"Tsk, tsk, I have never seen such a good thing before!"

"I heard that this divine object was made by the descendants of the Wang family, a wealthy and unkind family!"

"What? Is there anyone alive in their family?"

"I heard that the Wang family who built this 'Heavenly Car' was studying in Shengjing and was not at home when the chaos broke out, so he escaped unharmed!"

The gossiping people around him sighed again.

"Tsk, tsk, this really makes people don't know what to say!"

"If you live for a long time, you can really see everything!" Aunt Li, the pioneer of gossip, shook her head and finally concluded: "The evil bamboo of the Wang family can actually produce good bamboo shoots! Do you think it is irritating or not? Such a thing is How could such a talented person be reincarnated into their family?"

The common people laughed and agreed, that's not true, it really makes people don't know what to say. After being favored by someone, and then saying harmonious words to curse someone's ancestors and relatives for eighteen generations, wouldn't it be impossible to say it out?

What is this thing called?

Those things the Wang family did! How can it be considered reasonable if they don’t receive some verbal abuse from the people who greet their ancestors for eighteen generations?

This was a good thing. In the end, the people's curses were blocked by Wang Jiazi, who designed the 'Crane' and other gods that benefited the country and the people.
