Almost everyone left the eggs for last. Anyone who had chickens at home would sell the eggs they laid to support their family.

The only time you can eat eggs is during the Chinese New Year.

In particular, Li Zhao uses the method of boiling tea eggs to boil eggs. The aroma of the eggs is naturally more fragrant and more attractive than simple boiled eggs.

After eating, I was a little choked because I had already eaten the rice porridge first.

Bang bang bang——

The knocking sounded again.

Li Bin placed countless bamboo cups in front of his eyes: "Everyone, please come and line up. Bring a glass of water first. If anyone dares to drink water from the river or pond, I will not be polite."

The prince cannot be a villain and must establish a positive image.

Therefore, Li Bin came to take charge, and he was very intimidating anyway.

Seeing Li Bin wearing armor and carrying a knife, the group of people did not dare to speak loudly, and they all lined up obediently.

Only those who are familiar with Li Bin know that the commander of the Imperial Guard just looks scary.

He is actually a very nice person and easy to get along with.

Of course, Li Heiwa and the others didn't remind them that there were a lot of people now and they needed to establish Li Bin's prestige, so naturally they couldn't destroy his prestige.

"S-Sir...I-I'm thirsty, can I drink now?"

Li Bin glared at the fool and said, "You can't drink this water, so why should I give it to you?"

"Oh!" The villager was frightened, and under Li Bin's pressure, he drank a glass of wine.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

They were already very full after eating rice porridge, steamed buns, side dishes and eggs, but now they drank a glass of water and felt a little full.

Everyone showed a satisfied smile.

They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had eaten so full.

The villagers who had had a good meal were now full of energy, and they finally experienced the happiness that others said.

Zhao Tiezhu ran all the way. After making sure that there was no problem with the ditch, he rushed to the river and shouted: "Uncle Wang, open the gate and release the water!"

"Okay!" Although Long Xuewang is old, he is very efficient at work and is a senior farmer.

The hoe in his hand pushed and hooked the big stone in the water, and the stone was lifted up on the hoe.

The rushing water carried the yellow mud and rushed to the far side of the ditch.

"Here comes the water!"

"Here comes the water!"

Someone's voice will be heard at every distance, and even people from very far away can hear it.

The first ditch is a very long straight line, not too big or too deep.

If you dig very big and deep from the beginning, it is very likely that you will not be able to penetrate it in a day. Only by thoroughly passing the water through and relying on the water to infiltrate the soil will the subsequent work be accelerated.

Zhao Tiezhu and the others will dig very quickly next. As the ditch expands and widens, the speed of the water flow will naturally increase.

When the water flows to the innermost area, the old farmers there will introduce the water from the ditch to the area to be reclaimed.

Next, there is the soaking in the paddy fields.

Everyone has a heavy workload and is in a hurry.

Zhao Tiezhu has stopped digging now because he has to inspect the entire aqueduct back and forth.

Li Zhao opened up a large amount of land, and people further away needed to run back and forth to check it out. He wanted to make use of all the available land here.

The square wasteland has been initially reclaimed.

The next step is to dig the ridges of the fields, and the soil from the ditches is piled on the ridges for compaction.

Hoes often break when digging wasteland. No one has cultivated these fields, they are very hard, and there are a lot of impurities in them.

The gravel and boulders on the surface may have been dug out, but the soil still contains a lot of them.

This is destined to be a huge project, but fortunately Li Zhao has enough manpower.

"What is that?"

"I don't know, it seems like a wheel."

"This is my first time seeing this thing."

"Water from the river was actually brought up?"

"Go and have a look!"

Naturally, the common people had no time and no one noticed this, but many children from aristocratic families who came to see the excitement noticed the difference at a glance.

Another difficulty in land reclamation and grain irrigation is the inconvenience of water diversion.

Especially when the water in the reservoirs dries up, irrigation becomes a constant problem.

If you rely on carrying water for watering, even if the whole family works together for a whole day, they may not be able to irrigate even a few fields.

This is reality.

Members of aristocratic families are always knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you only need to take a glance to understand that this is another new masterpiece of King You.

Soon, more and more people gathered around the waterwheel.

This thing looks simple, but it still takes a lot of effort to build and explore.

The key is that this thing was created by King You, and he has the patent.

Who dares to imitate easily?

"Isn't it?"

"Again?"

"How does King You's head grow? How come he can solve any trouble?"

"Fuck, go home quickly and prepare money!"

After observing and confirming, the members of the aristocratic family looked bitter and almost cried.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that water could be brought up from such a low water level.

If everyone had this kind of artifact, the probability of crops dying of thirst in the future would be greatly reduced.

Even Xue Jingwen and the others had complicated expressions after seeing the waterwheel.

"How do you think His Highness came up with it?"

Shen Zhaolin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If I could know, I would make money first."

Xue Jingwen sighed heavily: "Everything His Highness comes up with is obviously good for the country and the people, but why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

"You want to say that every thing His Highness makes has a protection period, right?" Shen Zhaolin glanced at him sideways, then touched his wallet and said: "You are right that something is wrong, because at this level Go down, we will be the ones who have all our money emptied out of our pockets.”

Xue Jingwen was shocked when he heard what Shen Zhaolin said.

Yes, everyone has completely ignored this issue.

Li Zhao's things are indeed beneficial to the country and the people, and they are indeed first-class good things.

But before things are completely free to promote, everyone has to spend real money to buy them.

Based on their current relationship with Li Zhao, they can definitely get it as long as they place an order.

But how much does this thing cost?

If you buy it, the family's money will flow into Prince You's pocket.

But if you don’t buy it, no one dares to think about the consequences!

They can now be sure that even if they don't buy it, there will definitely be a wealthy family who will try their best to buy it.

"Nervous!"

Xue Jingwen, Shen Zhaolin and others turned around to leave, but found that a large group of members of aristocratic families had sad faces.

Tang Junfeng and the others were also among the crowd.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"Here!" Everyone pointed at the waterwheel.

"This thing is very good. It can divert water and is a useful tool for irrigating fields." Xue Jingwen said.

The others glanced at him and said, "Don't you think this looks like a trap?"

Xue Jingwen: "..."

Needless to say, we just discovered it.

Now everyone has been brought into the pit by King You.

Everyone was confused.

The things are naturally good, but they are expensive.

If it’s just expensive but useless, you don’t have to worry about it. The key is that this thing is of great use.

Everyone's mood was extremely complicated.

A group of disciples from aristocratic families finally reacted.

King You looks young, smiling, and looks like an honest man, but he is full of bad things.
