Chapter 126 The Banker’s Priceless Windmill High

Li Longji said nothing. He frowned and looked at the people happily working with deep eyes.

The three of them continued walking, and it was time for the children on Zhuangzi to eat their lunch.

Someone from Zhuangzi came over with a cart and distributed the same twists to the children in the settlement.

"Brother Yi, did they also give it?" Li Chengqi knew that Zhuangzi's children were treated differently from children here.

"If you work well, you will get extra benefits. The difference in children's lives before was not aimed at the children, but to let the people who came here do their jobs seriously."

Li Yi told the reason.

Now that we are on the right track, what is the use of blocking the child's welfare?

The child eats well, is in good health, gets sick less often, and feels relaxed.

Children don't understand the principles of adults, so they eat whatever is given to them. The twists are soft and sweet.

They ran to wash their hands and came over to reach for fried marijuana flowers wrapped in raw-edged paper.

He ate it in small bites, then put it away again after eating half of it.

"You have a small appetite, can't you eat anymore?" Li Chengqi wondered, the children on Zhuangzi were very good eaters.

"Keep it for their families. Their families can't eat in Zhuangzi's cafeteria." Li Yi knew the reason without asking.

"Is it okay to eat half of it?" Li Longji seemed to feel bad.

"This mahua is bigger than what the children in Zhuangzi ate." Li Yi said with a smile.

"I see, Brother Yi, the people in your village are kind-hearted. As expected, there are as many farmers as there are proprietors."

Li Chengqi suddenly realized that the banker knew that the children would leave twists for adults, so he deliberately made it bigger.

It not only fulfills the child's filial piety, but also allows the child to eat enough.

Moisturizing things silently reveals one's original intention.

Li Longji thought of a question: "This winter, they are working near Zhuangzi. Where should they go after next spring?"

“I have no place of origin, I’m not going anywhere, I’m still living, I’m building a building on the banks of the Bashui River, Bashui shouldn’t be used so easily.”

Li Yi gave the answer. He would not drive people away, but would continue to live there and have work to do.

"This way Brother Yi saves the trouble of paying rent for them, that's good." Li Chengqi agreed.

Li Yi shook his head slightly: "Next summer, let them transfer their citizenship again, and they will make a lot of money then.

Because I don’t have land, I can’t pay the rent, I have to pay for it, I’m transferred... If the court doesn’t change, I have ways to avoid it.

Yong, I plan to give part of it to Zhuangzi and part to them.

Then I will pay part of the money for medical treatment, and I will have to collect money for their medical treatment in the future. "

Li Yi stated his plan. He wanted to provide funds and insurance to people through enterprises.

Medical insurance and mediocre funds, medical insurance, Zhuangzi can contribute a lot.

For example, if each person pays ten mins a month, Zhuangzi pays nine mins and eight hundred coins, and they pay two hundred coins.

Then cure a cold and get rid of it.

Don't let people from outside come over, otherwise it will be too busy.

The money Zhuangzi paid for his help eventually fell into his hands.

"What should the poor people do?" Li Chengqi looked intolerable.

In the past, he didn't care about people's livelihood, but now he thinks about people who despise medical treatment and go to Zhuangzi to seek medical treatment.

"Before next year, I will have a book of herbal medicine here. Many medicines for minor illnesses are written in it. It should be spread throughout the world." Li Yi gave the answer.

Li Longji and Li Chengqi instantly understood that Brother Yi wanted to teach medical skills.

Although it is a herbal medicine, it can survive countless people.

"Brother Yi is the great doctor of the world." Li Chengqi clasped his fists in salute, and Li Longji also cupped his hands.

"They were all copied." Li Yi was very embarrassed. How could he have the ability to write a book on Chinese herbal medicine? He couldn't even recite it all.

"I know." The two people said at the same time, as if we agreed with your statement.

Li Yi: "..."

The three of them walked through the residential area and came to the edge of Bashui River, where they stood on the embankment and watched.

Someone was there to break the ice so that the waterwheel could turn and divert the water to the workshop.

In winter, the water level drops significantly, and the water tanker is moved to the river.

"No matter how cold the weather is, Brother Yi will take a section of the river water and put it in the cellar?" Li Chengqi thought that it was time to store the ice after it was frozen solid.

Poor people cannot eat ice in summer. Whether it is stored in winter or made from saltpeter in summer, every bite is expensive.

"It's already under construction. We don't use river water, which has a lot of impurities. We use well water. We built a few pressure pumping wells in the summer. Now we use manpower to pressurize the water. Today... today there will be a windmill."

Li Yi pointed to Zhuangzi's location. He wanted to use well water. The best water for making ice is pure water.

Pure water has a uniform density and ice does not melt easily.

The ice in the indoor skating rink is pure water, which is why skating is so expensive.

"Windmill? Come and take a look at the two brothers." Li Chengqi was immediately interested when he heard what Li Yi said.

The three people turned and returned to Zhuangzi.

Sure enough, there were people at the Zhuangzi wells pressing water. The pressure well was a thing for children to play with in the summer.

When drawing water from an open well, if it freezes inside, you must shave off the ice, otherwise the bucket will not go down.

In winter, water freezes on the edge of the well. When digging out the ice at the mouth of the well, you may accidentally fall in.

So Li Yi stopped using open wells and used pressure wells.

It was frozen before, pour hot water to boil.

It's time to make ice. Let's take turns pressing it. The water will keep flowing and it won't freeze.

Outside the wellhead is a cement trough and a cement floor. The well water flows out and flows along the ditch into rectangular wooden boxes with iron sheets inside.

Then the boxes were placed neatly, waiting to slowly freeze.

The frozen boxes are pushed into the ice melting tank, which contains some warm water diverted from the heater.

When the outer circle of the ice in the box is separated from the box wall, the ice is poured out and transported to the ice cellar.

The ice cubes are separated by straw mats, making it easier to get ice in the summer.

The hand hoist played a big role at this time. It lifted up the pieces of ice and placed them on the straw mat, and then pushed them away.

It seems laborious to press the well one by one, which is a waste of manpower.

Li Yi designed a windmill, which is like a waterwheel. When it is propped up, it will turn when the wind blows, driving the arm of the pressure well to move up and down.

Others just come over occasionally to clear the ice off the edge of the trough.

The windmill has been made, brushed with tung oil and ready to dry.

Li Yi knew that his two brothers wanted to see it, so he simply pretended to do it.

First raise the shelf, and then lift it with several hand hoists at the same time.

There are five pressure wells in total, distributed in various places in Zhuangzi.

Three windmills were made, and the location chosen was important.

The first windmill is set up, the pin is pulled out, the windmill rotates, and the pressure well arm is connected over there.

The windmill rotates quickly and the well arm moves up and down quickly, but the water that comes out is not much.

The windmill rotates slowly, and the well arm also moves slowly, and the water flows out slowly.

"Brother and third brother, please see, you can use a windmill to grind rice and flour. Ordinary people can't afford it, and it's more expensive than a mill."

Li Yi told the two people that this thing was expensive.

"High? The price is high. It saves labor. It can keep turning. As long as there is wind in summer, many people can use it to do things."

Li Chengqi considers continuity, like a waterwheel.

In autumn, there are several waterwheels on the banks of the Bashui River. Many people would rather transport grain dozens of miles than grind it here.

Some are even shipped here on ships and then shipped back after processing.

Otherwise, there would be no animals to grind the mill, and manual labor would be time-consuming and tiring.

Even if you already have a few gadgets, things are still going fast.

"Since the price is high, why do we still do it?" Li Longji asked Li Yi.

"Because my dealer is priceless." Li Yi said softly.

The farmers next to them pushed their chests up hard, showing proud expressions.
