"Hao'er, you have now surpassed a strong laborer." On the way to her home, Yang Gendi couldn't hold back her joy and said to her son. Her son spent an afternoon helping Su Jinwang's family renovate a stove, and in exchange Su Jinwang agreed to replace it for him.
Carrying 20 loads of water for each family is equivalent to one strong labor force, isn't it?
"Mom, look what you said, I am a 17-year-old young man, and I am also a strong laborer." Su Hao smiled. He was still holding back something in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell Yang Gendi. That was a person from later generations.
A wise man said: Technology is the primary productive force.
"Jin Wang said he would help us carry 20 loads of water, but he actually got it right." Yang Gendi said with relish, "With your new stove, his family can save at least a thousand kilograms of firewood a year, and the firewood is worth three
There are four denarii."
"How is the price of this firewood calculated?" Su Hao asked. It turned out that the scholar never cared about this kind of firewood, rice, oil and salt, so Su Hao had no idea about the prices of these things.
Yang Gendi was very happy to impart this knowledge to her son. She said: "The price of firewood also varies according to time. It is cheaper in hot weather and more expensive in cold weather. When it is cheap, it is sold for 20 cents per load; when it is expensive, it is sold for 20 cents per load.
The Dan can be sold for 40 Wen."
"Well, one load is an average of 30 Wen. If we can save 1,000 kilograms of firewood, it will be equivalent to 10 loads, which is 300 Wen, which works out to almost 3 taels of silver." Su Hao calculated silently in his heart. After doing the calculation,
I can't help but feel a little depressed. If a firewood-saving stove can only save farmers 3 yuan a year, it doesn't seem to be of much value.
"It's only worth 3 coins..." Su Hao expressed his confusion.
"Three coins is not enough?" Yang Gendi's idea was completely different from her son's. She said, "Three coins can buy seventy or eighty eggs."
"Uh..." When it came to eggs, Su Hao started to feel something. Thinking that Lu Xiuer was so happy after just eating a few mouthfuls of egg custard, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved: "Then we are at a loss. Uncle Jin Wang's family just gave
We boiled 6 eggs and we haven’t finished them yet, why should he give us dozens of eggs, right?”
"Well, the folks in the countryside can't be considered so smart." Yang Gendi sighed. She also felt that it might be better if she could earn a few eggs and take them home. "Didn't Jin Wang say that he would help our family carry water?
Besides, his family has also helped us a lot in the past."
"If I make a stove in one afternoon, it's worth 3 taels of silver, 9 taels a month, 108 taels a year. It seems pretty good, right?" Su Hao said happily, "Mom, why don't I just build stoves for others?
It only costs 1 silver to repair one, and it lasts for a year..."
"Bang!" Before Su Hao could finish speaking, he was hit hard on the head.
I saw Yang Gendi's eyes widening angrily, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? I asked you to help others repair a few stoves because we owe them a favor. You are a scholar, how can you do this kind of thing all day long? How can you put a few stoves in the house?"
After the people who have been with us a lot have finished cooking the stoves at their homes, they are not allowed to help others anymore, do you hear me?"
Su Hao touched his head and was about to argue when he suddenly heard people outside the village shouting loudly. The mother and son listened carefully and saw that everyone was shouting the same thing: "The water is out! The water is out!"
"Mom, the well I pointed to has water!" Su Hao's heart moved. Although this was something he had expected, he was still quite excited when he heard the news that water had come out.
"Go and have a look!" Yang Gendi was also excited. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried. For more than a day, she was thinking about the well located by her son all the time. You know, if this well
If the well can really produce water, then her son will be the great hero of the whole village. From now on, who will dare to say that her son is a wimp with high scores and low energy!
The mother and son ran towards the outside of the village. Along the way, countless villagers were also running. When those people saw Su Hao, they all shouted loudly: "Scholar, the well you pointed to is filled with water! There is so much water.
ah!"
Su Hao and his son ran to the well. The scene was already crowded with villagers. From far away, they heard Zheng Chun's uncontrollable laughter coming from his broken gong voice: "Hahahaha, blessing from the Well Dragon King, finally
Out of the water!"
"Excuse me, please, let me go in and take a look." Su Hao pulled the crowd with his hand and squeezed into the middle.
"Quickly get out of the way and let the scholar come in." When everyone saw Su Hao coming, they quickly got out of the passage and followed him with admiring eyes. As for Yang Gendi, a group of women had surrounded him and started complimenting him. Yang Gendi said in his mouth
To be polite, there are already tears on my face.
"Master Xie, how is the situation?" Su Hao squeezed to the edge of the well and asked Xie Changfa, the leader of the craftsmen.
"The scholar, the talented man, hit the 60-foot mark and hit the water, exactly." Xie Changfa respectfully bowed his hands to Su Hao. This is a craftsman's reverence for knowledge.
"What's the amount of water?" Su Hao continued to ask.
"The water comes out very quickly. The scholar said it can produce 400 tons per hour, which is just a lot more." Xie Changfa said.
It's just a lot more... Isn't this a compliment to me? Su Hao said in his heart, from the perspective of a dignified geological expert, the estimated water output should be unbiased, which is called bullishness. If the water amount is underestimated, the result will be
It's just too much, but that means I'm not good at studying.
However, he also knew that Xie Changfa actually couldn't tell what the current water output was. The algorithm of 400 tons per hour could only be judged by actual measurement with a bucket. Xie Changfa said this to praise him, because it was
During the drought season, everyone hopes that as much water as possible will come out of the well.
"A great scholar, you saved my life. Please accept Zheng Chun's thanks."
Zheng Chun stepped forward and saluted Su Hao. He no longer cared about Su Hao's kicking him to the ground yesterday. Officials in the county government were very prestigious in the eyes of the people, but
For a scholar, it is not worth mentioning at all. What he is thinking about now is how to win over this scholar and let him point out a few more well locations for him. If every well location Su Hao points to can be like this one
Like a well, he will be able to shine in front of the magistrate.
"Officer Zheng Dian, you are so polite. You are here to dig a well, and you are also bringing benefits to the elders of our village. How dare Su accept your great gift?"
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Since Zheng Chun had lowered his head, Su Hao didn't care about anything and turned around and gave a salute to Zheng Chun.
"Zheng Chun boldly wants to ask the scholar to help point out a few well locations. I wonder if the scholar is willing to help?" Zheng Chun asked respectfully.
"Su is obligated to do so." Su Hao sang in a high-pitched voice.
Su Zhong, the head of the village, also came forward and praised Su Hao in extremely emotional terms. However, the underlying meaning behind his words was that Su Hao's achievements today were all the result of the care and care of him as a village leader.
Su Hao would naturally not mind Su Zhong's praise and self-praise. He had received countless honors in his previous life. Who has the time to care about what a village cadre said.
"Uncle Zhong, now that the well has produced water, please ask Uncle Zhong to assign the order of water collection for each household. My family has little labor, can I ask Uncle Zhong to take care of me?" Su Hao said to Su Zhong.
"What's the point? By saying this, are you slapping your Uncle Zhong in the face?" Su Zhong looked feigned annoyance, "Without the well location you pointed out, nephew, how could we get this sweet spring? Your home water
, naturally it has to be given priority. The whole village is here, you ask, who dares to say no?"
After the chief made a statement, the villagers naturally wanted to join in the fun, so everyone expressed their opinions:
"Xiu Cai Lang, you don't need to say anything, we will cover the water used in your fields!"
"Sister-in-law Gendi, just rest. Each of us has enough water for your household."
"Auntie, with my brother Su Hao, you can just sit at home and enjoy yourself. You don't have to do anything in the future."
Yang Gendi nodded to one person and thanked another, and was very busy. She knew that this was everyone's way of expressing respect for her son. In this drought season, she could guide him to drill a well.
A person is enough to be respected by the whole village.
