Although Yu Ruhai, the prefect, is showing off his power here, there are so many prefects in the world. How can a prefect like him compare with the four princes of the current dynasty?
Moreover, the fourth prince Zhou Kang is one of the princes who is considered to be likely to inherit the throne. He may not be able to see it in remote areas, but in fact, in the court, the officials in the court have already been divided into several factions. , started a party dispute with each other.
At this time, Zhao Feng took out the waist card given to him by Zhou Kang, and directly made Yu Ruhai think that Zhao Feng was the fourth prince Zhou Kang's man. Yu Ruhai even thought that this might be an opportunity for him.
That's why Yu Ruhai changed his previous arrogant attitude. Unfortunately, Zhao Feng didn't know about these things. After sending Yu Ruhai and the officials away, Zhao Feng shook his head and turned to Chen Rou.
"I really didn't expect that the master who bought my water wheel manufacturing method before would be convicted of this."
"It can only be said that he is too greedy. Otherwise, if he revealed that I designed these waterwheels, the people suffering from drought would be saved."
When Chen Rou heard this, she couldn't help but smile and nodded, and said to Zhao Feng.
"As the saying goes, the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, so that master must have brought it upon himself!"
But this matter is also good for Zhao Feng. Now the prefect knows that Zhao Feng built this waterwheel. Even if Zhao Feng is not rewarded, he will never use this waterwheel to earn money for himself. Some grain says more.
Suddenly, the villagers saw many official officials coming to Zhao Feng's house, but in the end they left respectfully, and they all vaguely guessed Zhao Feng's identity.
This also made some villagers who had other thoughts give up their thoughts. Although this waterwheel did bring a bumper harvest to their food, giving some food to Zhao Feng for nothing also made these villagers feel painful. .
But now I see that even the officials did not dare to do anything to Zhao Feng, and these villagers did not dare to break the contract. More and more villagers sent a lot of the grain they collected to Zhao Feng's family as agreed, so that Zhao Feng He made a lot of money directly from this waterwheel.
The grain was newly harvested this year and would become old grain next year, so Zhao Feng only kept enough grain for his family to eat in the winter, and sold all the rest.
Anyway, Zhao Feng's family doesn't have any land, so he is considered a white man, so he doesn't even need to save the seeds for next year!
And since various places have been affected by drought this year, their mansion has not been severely affected. After all, there are water trucks to help. However, the price of food in other mansions has soared, which also allows these villagers to use the excess food to make money. Got some money.
After seeing this scene, the three Li brothers from before looked at it and were greedy in their hearts.
Like Zhao Feng, the three of them did not have any farmland for farming at home, so after seeing other villagers making a lot of money using the food they grew, the three of them were very jealous.
"Brother, the autumn harvest has passed now, and the villagers have a lot of surplus food and money at home."
"If those big brothers from Black Wind Village come here now, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money!"
After hearing what the second and third children said, the eldest son of the Li family sneered and nodded.
"Don't worry, I have already contacted the big brothers in Heifeng Village. They will come down the mountain in a short time!"
"But this time, they will not come to our Zhaojiazhuang first, but to Chenjiazhuang first!"
Upon hearing this, the second and third sons of the Li family were a little confused. They were extremely angry with Zhao Feng and wished they could have the bandits from Heifeng Village rush down the mountain and chop Zhao Feng alive.
At this time, they all asked anxiously when they heard that the big brothers from Heifeng Village were going to Chenjiazhuang first.
"Brother, why do you have to go to Chenjiazhuang first? Wouldn't it be better to come directly to us?"
The eldest son of the Li family showed a sinister smile on his face and said viciously to his two younger brothers.
"What do you two know? This is called murder and heart-breaking!"
"Before letting Zhao Feng die, I want him to feel the feeling of betrayal and separation!"
As the eldest son of the Li family said this, he narrowed his eyes viciously, revealing his fierce look.
"Don't the people in our village always like to tease Zhao Feng? This time I will let them know who caused them to die!"
After hearing what the eldest son of the Li family said, the second and third sons of the Li family opened their eyes wide in surprise and smiled on their faces.
"Brother, this is a great trick. What will happen if you go to Chenjiazhuang?"
The boss of the Li family changed his expression and scolded him directly.
"This is what happened to those big brothers from Black Wind Village. How can we talk to each other?"
"But as long as the big brothers in Heifeng Village have a good harvest this time, the three of us can also join Heifeng Village!"
"When the time comes, you can have as much money and beauty as you want!"
The three of them plotted like this, with smiles on their faces.
Chen Shan has already made furniture for Zhao Feng at home.
The waterwheel designed by Zhao Feng not only allowed Zhao Feng's family to have a lot of food, but also allowed some villagers in Chenjiazhuang to deliver food to Chen Shan's home.
Seeing so much extra food at home, Wang was so happy every day that she could only praise Zhao Feng, and Chen Shan was also very satisfied with his son-in-law.
In such a short period of time, Zhao Feng's family went from poverty to building a new house. Zhao Feng even went to the capital and became a well-known capable person.
It is estimated that Zhao Feng is also engaged in some business, which has made Zhao Feng's family's conditions better and better, so Chen Shan plans to seize the time and build all the furniture for Zhao Feng's new house before winter.
"Old man Chen, we are here to deliver food to you. The waterwheel your son-in-law built is really good, and it gave us a bumper harvest of food!"
When he heard about the blind date outside, Chen Shan was so happy that he went out with a smile.
"It's just a little effort, why do you have so many more? Why don't you take some back?"
The villagers quickly waved their hands and said to Chen Shan with a smile.
"That son-in-law of yours is so capable, you will have to rely on him for help in the future!"
After hearing this, Chen Shan smiled and nodded in agreement.
But at this moment, very anxious shouts suddenly came from the entrance of the village.
"Run quickly, the bandits are coming!"
"Fellow folks, hurry up and close the door, the bandits are coming down the mountain!"
Hearing this, Chen Shan was immediately startled, and the fellow's face changed drastically. He quickly threw down the food and ran away in a hurry.
